This modern malady has become

The Passing ot tne Old Land
marks.
We were ruminating about the old
land marks in this county. It is a
sad reflection to old people to set
how fast the old land marks are dis
appearing. Even the trees planted
when they were small hushes by some
good old father, or blessed old moth
ers, are fast disappearing.
We can remember how these good
old people pulled some of these trees
up by the roots, when they were
mere sprouts, and transplanted them
in some chosen spot. It may he
, .eome dear mother or noble aunt,
whom we well remember, planted that
tree in the long ago, and now when
we see the woodman's axe laid at the
root of it, there is a tinge of sorrow
and sadness beclouds our inner feel
ings.
In olden times, there were country
mansions on nearly all of these old
farms, with beautiful groves, which
were cared for, and replenished from
time to time, by loving hands, and
provided with rustic seats, where the
young always did, and always will,
delight to linger. We used ro rest
under the boughs of tho trees, and
talkof love, and romance, when the
trees were young, tender and green
like ourselves.
Many a happy courtship has been
consummated under the boughs of
these lovely trees, many an old coup
le who are now toddling along to
gether, and have lived in peace, quiet
and happiness all through their lives,
have really a kind of reverence for
that stately old tree, under the boughs
of which their future destiny was
sealed, in the long ago. Hut alas,
these beautiful groves as well as these
noble old couples, are fast fading
away.
More than this, we discover that
a great many of the different kinds of
beautiful birds that used to sing for
us, are also rapidly disappearing.

It Matters Not How Ob

Obstinate sores and ulcers, which
refuse to heal under ordinary treat
ment, soon become chronic and deep
seated, and lead to conditions most
serious. They are caused in different!
ways, but in every case the blood is
involved, and no amount of local treat
ment can have any effect. The poison
must bo eliminated from the blood
before a cure can bo had.

A GUNSHOT WOUND.
Mcßr yer, the well-known dla
muer, ot Lawrence burg. By., says:
I
The charming mocking bird, with its
shrdl voice is becoming very scarce.
The beautiful Red bird that used to
twitter in the grove is scarcely ever
seen now. The gay little Wren with
its quiet, flitting motion, is seldom
seen. The Joe-Ree, which used to
chant to us as we approached the
wet swampy places. The Cat bird
which used to be so watchful of her
young, and seemed to hate the sight
of a boy, dog or gun. The beautiful
Partridge which used to he heard so
often all through the day. as he
whistled Bob-white to his mate so
plaintively and coaxingly in the grain
field. The Whippowill which used
to entertain us at the evening tide
with its peculiar melodies. The
Wood-Chuck which used to be so
for the sound of his bill, as he
pecked his home in the soft side of
some old pine tree. All these, and
more too, are fast disappearing.
Can it he that the companionship
of these beautiful feathered songsters
is no longer needed in this day of
cheap musical instruments, Phono
graphs and the like ?
We still have the sagacious rabbit,
and the renowned Opossum, but it is
a mystery to us how they can live,
and thrive, in view of the fact that
there are scarcely any hollow logs or
trees, into which they can scamper
and hide, and protect themselves
from the unerring scent of the long
eared hound, or the carniverous ap
petite of the noted cur.
But anew era has dawned upon us.
A moving, rushing age, and we have
no time to sit and reflect upon these
old time scenes. However, we very
much regret the disappearance of
the beautiful birds, and the stately
forest. Little Ben.

A Formidable Explosive.
A single Lyddite shell fired from a
British field-gun into Otndirman in
the Soudan killed 105 out of 118
men who had taken refuge in an iron
mosque beside the Mahdi's tomb.
This shell was filled with picric acid,
made by fusing carbolic and nitric
acids. Picric acid has been recog
nized as one of the most terrible ex
plosives, but so great was the danger
of handling it that it was rarely used
until the inventors of Lyddite, as the
new form of it is now called, dis
covered a method of fusing instead of
mixing its constituents. Now it can
not only be handled without harm,
hut its power as au explosive is in
creased tenfold. It will* more thor
oughly destroy adjacent objects, and
for a larger area around, than any
other explosive known, weight for
weight. Solid masonry crumbles to
dust within 400 yards of one of these
exploding shells.

I'aptnre of the Panama.
The presence of the government
transport Panama in the port of Sa
vannah recalls the humorous incident
of her capture by the little lighthouse
tender Mangrove. The incident was
thus described by a writer in the
Montreal Herald:
I wonder if the Montreal people
fully realize the humor of the situa
tion when the announcement was
bulletined by the Herald that the
Mangrove captured the Panama and
towed her into port.
Imagine it, if you can. Here is a
lighthouse tender, sent down to keep
the ships of the squadron from run
ning on the rocks, and to keep officers
supplied with Turkish tobacco, Ken
tucky products and Boston baked
beans. They put a couple of six
pounders on her just to make her feel
good. Thus the Mangrove.
The Panama sailed from New York
on April 20, a stately auxiliary cruiser
of the Spanish navy of 3,000 tons
register, filled with stores for the
Spanish troops, ammunition, torpedo
shells and goodness knows what all.
On her are several hundred martial
Spaniards, hurrying to lay their offers
of service at the feet of Gen. Blanco.
These brave men. I have heard of
that oath takdn by their com patriots,
“Victory or death, ’ and they cry, like
the gentleman in “The Idol s Eye,”
“Car r-ramha.” They react! Cuban
waters, and then—they almost run
over the Mangrove.
The latter having two new 6-poun
ders, and seeing something to pop at,
promptly bigan to fire. Of course,
none of the shots took effect, and that
made the Mangrove's crew madder
than ever. “Bless your eyes!” yelled
her commander, “if you don't heave
to, I’ll sink you.”
Now to fight with Blanco is
one thing ; to sink oft Key West is
another, and all fight promptly left the
hearts of the Spaniards.
Blit, as the Mangrove’s crew con
sisted of nine and a powder boy (no,
not a cabin boy, but a lighthouse boy),
it was impossible to place a prize
crew in charge.
“Come along with me,” said the
captain of the Mangrove, “we'll find
a prize crew for you.” And so, they
cruised around until they found the
Indiana, and borrowed a prize crew.
Then the Mangrove brought the
Panama into port.

Bears the Jou Have Always Bought
Not Down on the Bills.
Some of the greatest hits on the
stage are made by accident, and not
always to the satisfaction of the ac
tors, says the Cleveland Leader.
It was during the performance of a
comic opera at the opera house. At
the close of the second act a stage
coach that has been “held up - ’ is
brought “upon the boards.” The
soldiers and constables who are com
peting for the reward that is offered
for the highwayman have captured
some prisoners, but the right one is
not arnog them. Jerome Sykes, who
plays the part of Foxy Quiller, the
1 head constable, hustles his captives
| to the top of the coach, and the pas
sengers re enter it.
Sykes, who is a heavy man, is the
last to climb up, and when he did so
on Tuesday evening he brought his
200 pounds clown on the roof of the
coach with a plump. But he didn't
stop when he struck the roof. He
went right on through, landing on the
heads of the heads of the lady pas
sengers.
It was thought at first that the
comedian was severely hurt, but when
be came up smiling the applause far
surpassed any that had been previous
ly solicited. The unfortunate Foxy
had to scramble out of the mix-up on
all fours, which unexpected acrobatic
feat so pleased the audience that
there were loud demands for an en
core, the entire company being finally
compelled to march in single file
across the stage.
Many supposed Mr. Sykes' per
formance was a part of the show, and
were so loud in their praise of it that
the management ottered big induce
ments to have it repeated each night
but Sykes rebelled. It is understood
that the ladies upon whose heads he
landed when he went through the
roof also put in mild, objections, so
that the act will probably not be con
tinued.

A World of Mysteries.
We live in a world of mysteries.
We cannot understand the simplest
forces of nature. We speculate and
theorize and set forth our beliefs,
and. after all, they are but beliefs.
Of a surety, we know but little or
next to nothing. When we ascend
into the realm of spirit, the mysteries
grow and deepen. Into whatever
field we carry our investigation we
are constantly reminded that even
what do see we see as through a
glass darkly, and cannot fully under
stand.—Christian work.
Above AIL Charity.
One of the characteristics of a well
balanced mind is the trained ability
to wait for the subsidence of rash
emotions. The impetuousity of over
flowing waters is not more certainly
destructive than is the wild range ot
an uncontrolled passion in the soul.
Happy is that man who has effectual
iy learned the art of repressing un
generous and hasty impulses. We
sometimes maintain that as essential
to religion which really is not. and
when others fail to meet our standard
we either unconsciously depreciate
them or show a hostility of feeling, as
though God had committed to us
the government and correction of
souls. We have known many non
professors of rel gion, who, in respect
to charitable judgements, seemed to
surpass some who claimed to be
Christ’s own. A great work remains
to be wrought in all such. It is not
well to he self-deceived. Unless
charity be truly our possession we
surely are not in harmony with heav
en, where love rules all. The un
charitable critic is the enemy of no
one so much as himself. Languor
will steal upon him in his work, spirit
ual dearth will surly come upon his
soul, and a distrust of his motives will
take possession of his friends. No
real fellowship can co exist with such
a spirit. When our fellowship is with
Father and with His Son Jesus Christ,
and when the fellowship that we have
with one another is maintained by
walking in the light, then is fulfilled
the prayer of oiir Lord, “That they
all may be one; that the world may
believe that thou hast sent me.”
Fools.
What is it that, ordinarily, when a
man is really a fool, he finds it so
hard to restrain himself from letting
all the world know it—by his words
or deeds ? Indeed, I might ask,
further, why is he so ambitious to
publish the fact ot his folly from the
house top? Give it up? Because
he is such a fool? Can he help it?
Nevertheless, I knew a man of 60
years who once confessed to me that
during more than the first half of his
life he was so painfully conscious of
being a fool—or at least so far below
the average intelligence of common
men as they assumed to be—that he
was always nervously apprehensive of
being found out, and brought into
derison and contempt, by those
around him. He had guarded his
secrets most circumspectly. Of
course he was a born coward, and de
ficient in self-esteem. Only by years
of experience did he discover (as he
ventured to tell me) that he was quite
equal in all mental essentials to the
majority. 'l’hen he obtained equi
poise and held up his head like other
men. Indeed, the facts that he knew
so well his limitations often made
him rank above some who lacked that
wise element of honest humility. As
Leopardi says; “The surest way to
conceal from others the limits of our
knowledge is never to transgress
them.”—Paul Siegwolk in the New
York Home journal.

The Ease of Prayer.
Look at the incredible ease of
prayer. Every time, place, posture,
is fitting. Talent is not needed.
Eloquence is out of place. Our want
is our eloquence, our misery is our
recommendation. Thought is quick
as lightning, and quick as lightning
can it multiply effectual prayer. Ac
tions can pray; sufferings can pray.
The whole function is expressed in a
word; it is simply this: The child at
its father's knee, his words stumbling
over each other from very earnest
ness, and his wistful face pleading
better than his hardly intelligible
prayer.—F. W. Faber.
