As a fond mother, when the day is o’er, Leads by the hand her little child to bed, Half willing, half reluctant to be led And leave his broken playthings on the floor, Still gazing at them through the open door, ypr wholly reassured and comforted By promises of others in their stead, V' hich, though more splendid, may not please him more, So Nature deals with us and takes away Our playthings, one by one, and by the hand Leads us to rest so gently that we go Scarce knowing if we wished to go or stay, Being too full of sleep to understand How far the unknown transcends the what we . know. —Longfellow. There Is a Land of Pure Dellgrht. There is a land of pure delight Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. There everlasting spring abides, And never withering flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides Ulis heavenly land from ours. Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood •'* Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, / While Jordan rolled between. But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea And linger, shivering, on the brink And fear to launch away. ' Oh,p%>uld've make our (, Those gloomy doubts that rise ■ And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes; Could we but climb where Moses stood And view the landscape o’er.

Qur love is not a fading, earthly flower; Its winged seed dropped down from paradise, And, nursed by day and night, by aun and shower. Doth momently to fresher beauty rise. To us the leafless autumn is not bare, Nor winter’s rattling boughs lack lusty green; Our summer hearts make summer’s fullness Where No leaf or bud or blossom may be seen, For Nature’s life in love’s deep life doth lie— Love, whose is beauty’s death, Whose mystic key these cells of thou and I Into the infinite freedom openeth And makes the body’s dark and narrow grate The wide flung leaves of heaven’s palace gate. —Lowell. Knowledge and Wisdom. Knowledge and wisdom, far from being one, Save ofttimes no connection. Knowledge dwells i heads replete with thoughts of other men, Wisdom in minds attentive to their own. Knowledge—a rude, unprofitable mass, The mere materials with which wisdom builds Till smoothed and squared and fitted to its place— Does but encumber whom it seems to enrich. Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much; (Wisdom Is humble that he knows no more. —Cowper. Man-Woman. “Man’s love is of man’s life a thing apart; 'Tis woman’s whole existence. Man may range The court, camp, church, the vessel, and the mart, Sword, gown, gain, glory, offer in exchange Pride, fame, ambition, to fill up his heart, And few there are whom these cannot estrange: Men have all these resources, we but one— To love again, and be again undone.” —Byron. WOMEN are assailed at every turn by troubles peculiar to their sex. Every mysterious ache or pain is a symptom. These distressing sensations will keep on coming unless properly treated.

Proofs were returned to him in small sections pasted in the center of huge sheets, around whose wide bor ders soon shot from the central text rockets and squibs of the author’s ad ditions and corrections fired by bis in furiated fist. The new proofs came back on similar sheets, to be returned to. the printer again like the web and triieks & ThU was re- peated a dozen or, it is said, a score of times, always with amplifications, until his typesetters became palsied luna tics. He overheard one of them as be entered the office one day say: “I’ve done my hour of Balzac. Who takes him next?” Typesetter, publisher, au thor, were put out of misery only when the last proof came in. at its foot the magic “Bona tirer.”—Scribner’s. General Grant Owns Up. When General Grant came to Liver pool and was entertained at the town hall, a quite unknown Liverpool man wrote to the mayor with many apolo gies, but asking if he might take the liberty of asking for a few minutes’ conversation with the great soldier. The mayor hesitated, but found a . way of mentioning the matter to the great man, who, without hesitation, said, “Certainly; let the gentleman come.” He came. He said to the gen eral: “Now, sir, utter amateur as 1 am, 1 have followed every step of the war, and 1 think I understand every movement except one. On such a day you were there and the southerners were there,” pointing to plans on a map that he had brought. “Now, it seems to me that you owght certainly to have gone there, whereas you went there,” pointing again. General Grant, the usually taciturn and when not taciturn phenomenally terse, just took the cigar from his mouth and said: “You’re right, sir! Infernal blunder!” And in a moment the amateur strat -1 egist, beaming now, was courteously dismissed.—“ That Reminds Me,” by Sir Edward Russell. Swept Away by Plasuea. Italy once had a plague that killed 10,000 persons daily. Five hundred a day died in Rome. In one year 200,000 citizens of Constantinople died. The epidemic of 1347-9 was the worst ever visited on man. In Asia 23,000,000 per ished by it and in Europe 25,000,000. In London 200 persons were buried Aaily ir. the Chai tei house yards. It ( was called “blimk death.” The plague ' in England in 1-171 destroyed more peo- < pie than the continual wars for the 15 preceding years. “Sweating sickness,” prevailing in England for three years, killed half the population of all the capital towns and depopulated Oxford. It was mortal in three hours. Tlie great plague of Lon don in 1G64 carried off 100,000 people. A transport with soldiers on board, from Sardinia to Naples, brought a plague that destroyed 400,000. An epi demic started in Marseilles by a ship from the Levant killed over 60,000. Clever Advertisers. A clever advertising scheme was em ployed by a firm in a southern city. The junior partner of the firm swore out a warrant for the arrest of the sen ior partner on the ground that he was selling goods below’ cost and that the firm was constantly losing money thereby. The case came up in court, and the counsel for the senior partner asked for a postponement in order to have more time to prepare his case. The judge granted the request, bail was fixed and the senior member released. As he left the courtroom the junior partner arose and exclaimed, “If he Is released, the sacrifice will go on!” The news soon spread, and the firm did a better business. When the case was again called, no plaintiff appeared, and tlie charge was dismissed. The firm had succeeded In their object—advertisement. SI.OO Per Annum in Advance. Eloquence in the Senate. Much is being said about the de cline of eloquence in the United States senate and elsewhere, but the fact is that occasionally in these days the pulpit, the bar, congress and the hustings produce specimens of true eloquence which would have been notable at any period of dur history. It would be hard to find in the annals of senatorial oratory any thing nobler in thought or express ion than the following passage in Senator Hoar's great anti-imperial ism speech delivered some weeks ago: “I know how imperfectly 1 have stated this argument. I know how feeble is a single voice amid this din and tempest, this delirium, of em pire. It may be that the battle for the day is lost. But I have an as sured faith in the future. I have an assured faith in justice and the love of liberty of the American peo ple. The stars in their courses tight for freedom. The ruler of the heavens is on that side. If the bat tle of today go against it, I appeal to another day, not distant and sure to come. I appeal from the clap ping of hands and the stamping of feet and the brawling and the shout ing to the quiet chamber where the Fathers gathered in Philadelphia. I appeal from the spirit of trade to the spirit of liberty. I appeal from the empire to the republic. I ap peal from the millionaire and the boss and the wire-puller and the manager to the statesmen of the elder time, in whose eyes a guinea never glistened, who lived and died poor and who left to his children and to his countrymen a good name far better than riches. I appeal from the present, bloated with material prosperity, drunk with the lust of empire, to another and bet ter age. I appeal from the present to the future and to the past.” The occasions which make elo quence possible are rare in congress. It requires a great subject to inspire a great speech. Such a subject Senator Hoar had, and he handled it superbly. His speech against the drift of our government toward militarism and centralized .power -will live. The Craze for Wealth. Some weeks ago the entire coun try was attracted by the operations of the Franklyn syndicate, in Brook lyn. Win. F. Miller, the manager of that syndicate, was paying 10 per cent, a week on all monies deposited with him, and car-drivers, clerks, and employees of all kinds were ab solutely blockading the street which led to the office of the syndicate in the effort to get their earnings in vested with the syndicate. The swindling scheme was ap parent to all legitimate handlers of money. That no legitimate busi ness could pay 520 per cent, was a proposition that needed no argu ment. Miller was simply paying the 10 per cent, each week out of the new money that was brought to him for investment, and each time that an investor received his 10 per cent, the news spread and resulted in scores of new investors. The scheme worked splendidly and would have continued to do so, if uninter rupted, as long as new investors furnished the money wherewith to pay the interest installments upon previous investments. The swind ling scheme was exposed, however, and Miller took to flight, but was subsequently arrested and brought back for trial. He was convicted of grand larceny in the first degree and on Monday was sentenced to ten years of hard labor in Sing Sing prison. The craze to get rich in a hurry carries many a man to the penitentiary, and many hard earned savings go into the pockets of the swindlers. Mr. Towne, of Minnesota, who has been nominated by the Popu lists for Victe President, is 41 years old. He was bom in Michigan and lived in that state until ten years ago, -when he moved to Duluth. Be fore leaving his native state he took an active part in politics as a Re publican. He was first a candidate for office after he went to Minnesota, when he was elected to the Fifty fourth Congress as a Republican. He became a “Free Silver Republi can” in 1896, walking out of the St. Louis convention with Senator Teller and others. He was de feated for re-election to Congress in 1896 and in 1898. Mr. Towne ranks high as an orator and debater. Lieut. Hobson is coming home. Now, will not the girls please be so kind as to refrain from pursing their lips in his presence? He has about lived down the former kissing episode and is once gain being re garded only as a hero of the Santia go campaign. NUMBER 20. Nothing Succeed! Like Success. Success is the test of merit. Re sults tell the story. Osteopathy relies wholly upon what it does. Its standing is beside the operating table. If it does not work, it is no better than any useless thing that is a fad or fake. There is no test like a fair trial. Thousands have tested it, from the present president of the United States to the lowliest sufferer who came only in the name of char ity. It is no longer questioned by those who have any opportunity to know. It has already scored a rec ord of triumphs over the whole category of diseases, and, chiefly, over those that have been decribed by other practitioners as “chronic” or “incurable,” while acute diseases are more easily cured. The unsym pathetic scrutiny of the statistician, who cannot make figures lie, has discovered that of chronic diseases “eighty percent have been cured; ninety-five per cent have been benefited; five per cent gave no perceptible results, while none were in any way injured.” Such a rec ord speaks for itself. It attests the highest merit. Investigate Oste opathy. Literature free. The Southern School of Osteopathy, Franklin, Kentucky. Patriotic but Pathetic. The accounts sent out from South Africa by newspaper correspondents tell us that on nearly every Boer battlefield the corpses of women are discovered among the dead left upon the field of battle, says the Augusta Chronicle. It is a grue some picture. In this land of ours, where we revere women and hold her apart from the violent occupa tions of men, and where we cer tainly would strive to shie’d her from the terrors of battle, the news of the death of these patriotic wives of the Boers is a sad story. The Philadelphia Times has been re viewing history on this subject and declares: In the second Crusade many German noble women participated. They were splendidly mounted and equipped with shield and spear. The feminine love of finery was not abandoned. Their leader had for title, “The Golderf-Footed Dame.” There were women knights of the orders of the Hospitallers ami of St. John. Siberia’s Resources. According to th? official statistics, Siberia has a total area of 5,333,333 square miles. It is liberally watered by some of the finest rivers in the world. The total area of land that is capable of agricultural develop ment is about 20,000 square miles, and the soil of these sections con sists of a deep layer of black loam. A total of about 16,500 acres of land has already been colonized, and the government is now parceling out the prairies through which the new railroad runs, with the confident expectation that Siberia will become one of the most powerful com petitors in the world’s supply of wheat. For the immediate future it is ex pected that the new settlers will de vote themselves chiefly to cattle raising, which, so far, has proved to be profitable. It fceems that the virgin forests of Siberia have been cut down in the same ruthless and wasteful manner that characterized the denudation of our own forest lands; nevertheless, it is estimated that there remain about 80,000 square miles of valuable pine and fir timber. The official estimate of the mineral wealth of Siberia is re markable reading, for it would indi cate that this mysterious country is, minerally speaking, one of the rich est in the world. North of the Aral sea and mountains the land is rich in lead, silver, copper, and gold. Several ranges of the Altai moun tains are known to be rich in gold, copper ore, and minor precious stones, while the varieties of por phyry and jasper, known by the name of this range, have an estab lished reputation. Extensive de posits of gold are found in the Qusnetz region. It seems that in far eastern Siberia the mountain ranges are equally rich in silver, copper, iron, coai and graphite, while the gold fields of Eastern Si beria are known to be particularly promising. Elsewhere coal and naphtha have been developed, while the coast line of Eastern Siberia has yielded good results to the gold washers. Justice McCarthy, in the suit of Mrs. Reading against Mrs. Gazzam for 1100,000 for the loss of her hus band’s affections, holds that a wife has a property right in her hus band’s affections. Mr. Reading ought to feel highly complimented at the valuation which his wife has placed upon his affections.
