AN OLD PRAYER.
By Harriet Mabel, in Chicago Ledger-
<! Now I lay me down to sleep,”
Bow to- night fond memories keep,
Bound my soul their wings of care,
As I breathe my childhood’s prayer.
Once I lisped it at her knee,
Who is miles apart from me,
But her lips are on my brow,
And the past is with me now.
Once T almost smiled to see,
Words so simple learned by me;
Ah! My heart has found since then
They’re the mightiest words of men.
‘Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,”
Guard my feet from sin and strife,
Keep me in the way of life.
“If I die before I wake,
May the Lord my spirit take,”
Here all creeds may meet and blend
Faith’s beginning and its end. •
Peace my heart, and cease to weep;
“Now I lay me down to sleep,”
And my head is on thy breast,
Father! Father! this is rest.

Horses’ Color and Chances of Victory
Among the cherished supersti
tions of sportsmen is the belief
that the color of horses has much
to do with their chances of victory
in races and exhibitions of power.
Whence came the question it is
difficult to say. It has existed
however, for centuries, not only
among Europeans, but among
Arabs, those “Kings of the Desert,”
whose knowledge of the horse is
proverbial.
In an. ancient Arabian manu
script, according to “L’Echo de
Paris,” recently discovered, is a
passage proving that the belief in
the relations between horses’ color,
power, and speed has long existed
in Arabia.
A great Sheik of the Sahara, so
runs the tale, Ben Dyab by name,
was one day pursued by Saadel
Zsnatis, his most deadly enemy.
In the flight Ben Dyab turned sud
denly to his son.
Tell me,” he commanded, “what
horses are at the head of our ene
mies?”
“The whites, father,” replied the
son.
“That is well,” came Ben Dyab’s
answer. “We shall allow the sun
to do its work. The power of the
white horse will disappear before
its rays, as batter melts when they
fall upon it.
After a time, the - Sheik spoke
again.
“My son, what horses are now
nearest our heels?”
“The blacks, father,” came the
boy’s answer.
“Excellent,” cried the old man.
“The stony ground will overcome
the powers of the black animals.
Even the Soudanese become tired
at the ankles when he walks over
stony ground.”
On went the flight. A third
time Ben Dyab turned to his com
panion.
“Which ones are now ahead?”
“The browns and the chestnut
browns, father,” came the boy’s
answer.
“Then,” cried the Sheik, “we
must fly faster, or we are lost.
There is no time to lose. These
horses can overtake us.”—[Hew

ELECTRIC SITTERS.
This remedy is becoming so well
known and so popular as to need
no special mention. All who have
used Electric Bitters sing the
same song of praise.—A purer
medicine does not exist and it is
guaranteed to do all that is claim
ed. Electric Bitters will cure all
diseases of the Liver and Kidneys,
will remove Pimples, Boils, Salt
Rheum and other affections paused
by impure blood.—Will drive Ma
laria from the system and prevent
as well as cure all Malarial fevers.
—For care of headache, Consti
pation and lndiesfion try Electric
Bitters—Entire satisfaction guar
anteed, or money refunded.—Prii
siby given by three prominent
physicians of Washington, who
wanted to seenre his remarkable
head for an autopsy when he came
to shake off the mortal coil. He
was then twenty-eight, and the en
terprising medicine men thought
that he would not hold ont much
longer. They could not see how a
man with as big a head for as little
a body to feed it could hang on be
yond 33 years, the average human
life. So the endowment was set
aside for his maintenance, the con
ditions being that he should not
permanently leave the District of
Columbia, and that they should
have hiB body for scientific pur
poses when he had no farther use
for it.
I had a talk with this great
physical curiosity not long ags,
He has a pretty clear head, but
there is a striking peculiarity about
his mental processes which has led
some people to believe that he has
in his prodigious head two distinct
sets of brains, which sometimes
work in unison and sometimes do
not. It is this singular featuro of
the little main’s make up that has
excited the wonder of the doetors.
Dime museum people have been
after him for ten years, bnt family
pride has led him to refuse some
good offers. He remarked, with a
glance of cool shrewdness, that if
it was an object for me to know it,
two of the doctors who put up the
bonus were dead. Then, after a
pause, he added: “In regard to the
third, I think my lease of life
about as good as his.”
A good many people about Wash
ington think that it is a simple
case of hydrocephalus, though this
is seemingly negatived by the fact
that this peculiar ailment has nev
er been known to allow its victim
to enjoy 48 years of life, good
health and good wit. Loftns Par
ker is one of the characters of the
capital. He is as distinctly an in
dividuality as Bean Hickman, the
most noted of all Washington
characters, and is a figure at all
out-door doings of the gay politi
cal metropolis. Music is one of
his passions. It is singularly like
the case of Blind Tom, but, of
coarse, he has greater intelligence.
He is a very religions man, and is
a member of the Metropolitan
Methodist Church. He was even
an interesting figure at Parson
Newman’s fervid discourses, and
helped along with the worship by
Mb fine singing. He has a good
tenor voice, which has some notes
remarkable for sweetness and vig-
the farming interests in this coun
try, ruin would be the result. Af
ter listening to the reasons assign
ed by him, upomwhich his opinion
was based, we were constrained to
acknowledge that there was some
force in his argument.
As suggested by this farmer, the
lax method of credit now obtaining
among merchants and business
classes can bnt work demoraliza
tion among a large class of the
farm workers of this country. Such
methods open the door to fraud,
which iB too readily availed of by
many. An inspection of the mort
gage records of the country is
proof conclusive of this fact.
The inevitable tendency of such
credit methods is to render com
paratively worthless many labor
ers, and to ruin the labor system
of the country. And when this
ruin has been wrought, as is well
nigh the case now, what must be
the inevitable result? Every com
mon sense thinker of the country
can readily answer this question.
If under such credit system, the
land owners of the country are
ruled out of all control over those
who till their lands, and this is the
certain outgrowth, then who is to
control and direct the farming in
terest,wMch is the basis of all oth
er interests?
If the hired laborers of the coun
try, whose only capital is their la
bor, can, independent of their em
ployers, obtain all the necessities
for their temporal comfort under a
mortgage on an airy nothing, what
incentive is there to make them
faithful and industrious servants?
Couched in such a come-and-go-
easy chance at credit for the hire
ling is a strong inducement or iin
centive to thriftlessness, indolence,
and idlenessness, but no where is
it to be found an incentive to faith
ful work.
Nowhere in it is to be foumd
anything that tends to encourage
and foster the agricultural inter
ests.
Nowhere in it is to be discover
ed aDy promise of prosperity to
the people.
Hence,our farmer friend was not
far wrong when, in discussing this
matter, he said there must be e
change in this particular, or ruin
would be the final out-come. The
present is always the best time to
make a change for the better.
In all Napoleon had 19 horses
killed under him from Areola to
Waterloo. Marshal Blncher claim
ed to have lost the same number
in his campaigns, and General
Eorrest, of the Gonfederata army,
according to Mr. Lawley, had no
less than 30 horses shot under Mm
daring the civil war.

Halliday, the inventor of the ca

him the foundation for his inven

THE SOMA ) In the Aryan
PI A KlT f religion the chief
i ■ ^ offering to the
gods was the fomented juice of the
Soma or Moon plant, which, being
a strong drink, gave new excite
ment to those who partook of it,
and was believed to impart power
to the gods. It was believed, more
over, that it wrought miracles, and
for this reason, perhaps, it after
wards became the chief god of the
Hindns. In avedic hymn the wor-
sMper says:
“We’ve quaffed the Soma bright,
Aud are immortal grown;
We’ve entered into light,
And all the gods have known.
What mortal now can harm,
Or foeman vex us more?
Through thee beyond alarm,
Immortal Ood! we soar.”
No such power as this is attrib
uted to any plant at the present
time, and yet many of the cures
performed by S. S. S., a purely
vegetable remedy, seem almost to
border on the miraculous. In con
tagious blood poison, scrofula, skin
diseases, some forms of cancer,
etc., it is the remedy, par excel
lence.

A WOMAN AND A WAIU.
The laws of health are taught in
the schools, but not in a way to be
of much practical benefit, and are
never illustrated by living exam
ples, which in many cases might
easily be done. If some scholar
who had just contracted a cold,was
brought before the school, so that
all could hear the dry, loud cough,
and know its significance; see the
thin white coating on the tongue,
and later, as the cold developed,
see the profuse watery expectora
tion and thin watery discharge
from the nose, not one of them
would ever forget what the first
symptoms of a cold were. The
scholar should then be given Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy freely,
that all might see that even a se
vere cold could be cured iu one or
two days, or at least greatly miti
gated, when properly treated as
soon as the first symptoms appear.
This remedy is famous for its enres
of coughs, colds and croup. It is
made especially for these diseases,
and is the most prompt and most
reliable medicine known for the
purpose. 50 cent bottles, for sale

Do you know that there are 6,711

that by the report of this year
these banks have on deposit $4,460,-
160,262? Of this gseat amount,
the banks of the state of New York
hold more than one-third. The
bank with the largest deposit in
this country is the Bowery Savings
Bank, of New York, which reports
$47,914,754. There are thirty

M. Max Leclere has published
in Paris a volume of his observa
tions during a tour of this country.
He devotes a chapter to Brother
Jonathan’s sister, whom he de
scribes as a transatlantic butterfly
evolved from the British chrysalis,
and says of her: “The American
girl, without losing the character
istic marks of her ethnic family,
has become more of a woman, and
under a new sky expands in all the
purity of the female.”
It having been announced that
Mrs. Potter Palmer would drive
the last nail in the Woman’s build
ing of the World’s Fair, the sport
ing editor of the Detroit News
thus flippantly calls ont:
“Now what is offered on the
speed with which Mrs. Palmer
drives the nail? Two to one on
the nail. Ten to one that Mrs.
Palmer hits the building five times
for once she hits the nail. One
hundred to twenty-five that she
hits her finger if the nail isn’t
started for her. Even money that
she gets the hammer tangled in
the ribbons of her bonnet. Eight
to ten that she shuts her eyes for
the first blow. Five to four that
she wrinkles her nose after the
first twenty-five blows with the
hammer. Even money that the
world will have to take a recess for
Innch before the Dail is driven,pro
viding Mrs. Palmer doesn’t begin
hammering at it before 10 o’clock.
Even money that after Mrs. Palm
er works eight hoars the nail will
have to be tnmed over to a carpen
ter. Ten to one that the nail is
leaning to the southwest when Mrs
Palmer quits.”
To tMs the gay young editor of
the New York Sun answers: “Bnt
in all dne solemnity the enterprise
would be placed in a very embar
rassing position if she should
merely waste her energies in waltz
ing around the nail and fail to Mt
it at all. An erect position is the
safest one for that nail. Unless it
wobbles it is in no immediate dan- .
ger. Yet there is no visible good
reason why the building should be
all battered up in that way.”

The discovery in California of
an apparently large supply of oil
less than 300 feet from the surface
may, predicts the New York Snn,
have a considerable effect upon a
great industry. If it should torn
out that the supply is sufficient to
warrant the erection of pipe lines
and refineries, it might greatly ex
tend the markets for our petrole

That it will have any serious effect
