Chicago,August 11 —[Special. ]—lt was re
ported to-day that a lmr*# sum of money ba«
b«en offered the proprietors of the cure tor
tba tobacco habit called “No-To-Bac," which
la famous all over the country for ita won
derful effect. This offer. It wns said, was
made by parlies who desire to take ft off the
market and atop its sale, because of its lu
iury to the tobaooo business, Mr. H. L.
Cramer, general manager Of the
trainees, was Interviewed at bis office, 45
Randolph street, nnd when questioned
promptly said;
“No, air ; No-To-Bac la not for sale to the
tobacco trust. We just refused a half mi!’-
ion from other parties for our bu*l«ee-«.
Certainly No-To-Bic nfTVctMthetoluiceo bus -
new. It will cure over a half million people
in 1894, at an average saving of #SO, which
each would otherwise expeud for tobacco,
amounting in roan 1 figures to #25,000,000.
Of course, tobacco manufacturers' and deal
ers’ loss is the gain of the party taking No-
To-Bac. Does No-To-Bic benefit physically?
Yes, sir. The majority of our patients re
port an immediate gain in flush, and their
nicotine saturated eystems nre cleansed and
made vigorous. Hrow is No-To-Bac sold**
Principally through our traveling agent*.
Wo employ over a thonsan 1. It Is also sold
by druggists, and retail, through
out the United Htnt«s and (Janada. How are
patients assured that No-To-Bac will affect a
cure In their case? We absolutely guarantee
three boxes, posting #2.50, to cure any case.
Failure to cure means the money baokv Of
course there are failures, but they are few.
and we can better afford to have the good
will of an occasional failure than his money.
We publish a little hook called ‘Don't To
bacco Spit or Smoke Your Life Away,’ that
tells all nhout No-To-Bac, which will be
malleu free to any one desiring It by ad*
dreading the Sterling Remedy Co., 45-49 Ran
dolph street, Chicago.”
The Aid of a Fan*
“When tve were ehiUfiett,'* remark
ed ft delightful old lady, who carries
her 70 yearn with Aristocratic grace,
“little girls were always taught to car
ry a fan when they weut into the draw
ing room. ‘Always carry yotir fan,
niy dear,’ was my mother's last injunc
tion when I went out. 'lt will
you from feeling awkwnYd artd looking
conscious, ’ and J have often thought
what an (xeelhDfc fashion it was and
what a pity it i« that the impoitance
of tho fan lias so greatly decreased.
In my day to manage a fan properly
was considered a distinct accomplish
ment, To uufurl it slowly and ma
jestically as a Juno might; to wave it
languidly; to open and shut it medi
tatively—all this wc wero expected to
learn by instinct and observation.
“ ‘With r fan you need look
ill at ease,’ was another of my mother’s
maxims, and ww girls quickly found
out the truth of this for ourselves, and
I tell my granddaughters that they
lose a goodly weapon when they leave
their fans at home, or consider them
merely as an adjunct of their toilettes,
in use merely to cool their heated
faces.” —St. Louis Globe-Democrat,

shall Show you before I get through that
siiicide is the worst of all crimes, and I shall
lift a warning unmistakable-. But in the
early part or this sermoii t wish to admit
that some of tho best Christians that have
ev:-r lived have committed self destruction,
but always in dementia and not responsible.
I have no more doubt about their eternal
felicity than I have of the Christian who
dies in his bed in the delirium of typhoid
fever. While the shock or the Catastrophe Is
very great, I charge all those who have had
Christian triends under cerebral aberration
Step oft tho lnUadarioS of this life to have
no doubt their happiness. The dear Lord
took them right oht of their uazed ati l fren-
Jded state into perfect safety. How Christ
leels toward the ihsano you may know from
the kind way he treated the demoniac Of
Gardata ahd the child and the po
tency with Which ho hushed the tempests
either Of sea ot brain.
Bootlahd. the land prolific Of intellectual
giants, haa none grander than Hftgh Miller,
great for science and great: for God. He
came of the bast Highland blood, and ho wns
ft descendant of Donald Roy, a mar eminent
f r *«' his piety an<l the rare gift of second
sight. His attainments, climbing up as he
did from the quarry and the wall cf the
stonemason, drew forth the astonished ad
miration ot Buckland and Murchison, the
scientists, and Dr. Chalmers, the theologiau,
nnd held universities Bpellbound while he
told them the story of what he had scon of
God in the old red sandstone,
That man did more than aDy being that
ever lived to show that the God of the hills
is the God of the Bible, and he struck his
tuning fork on the rocks of Cromarty until
he brought geology and theology accordant
In divine worship. His two booksj entitled
“Footprints of the Creator’* and the ‘-Testi
mony of the Rocks,’* proclaimed the banns
of an everlasting marriage between genuine
Science and revelation, On this latter book
he toiled day and night* through love of
nature apd love of God, until he could not
sleep, and his brain gave way, an l he was
found dead with a revolver by his side, tho
cruel Instrument bnving had two bullets—
ono for him and the other for the gunsmith
who, at the coroner’s inquest, wns examin
ing It alld fell dead. Have you any doubt of
the beatification of Hugh Miller after his hot
brain had oeased throbbing that winter night
in his study at Portobello? Among the
mightiest of earth, among the mightiest of
heaven.
No one ever doubted the piety of William
Cowper, the author of those three great
hymns, “Oh, For h Closer Walk With God I’*
"What Various Hindrances We Meet!”
“There Is a Fountain Filled With Blood”
William Cowper, who shares with Isaac
Watts and Charles Wesley tho chief honors
ot Christian hymnology. In hypochondria
he resolved to take his own life and rode to
the river Thames, but found a man seated on
some goods at the very point from which he
expected to spring and rode back to his
home and that night threw himself upon his
own knife, but the blade broke, and then ho
hanged himself to the celling, but the rope
parted. No wonder that when God merci
fully delivered him from that awful demen
tia he sat down and wrote that other hymn
just ns memorable.
Go<l moves In a mysterious way
His wonder* to perform.
Be plants Hts footsteps In the sea
And rides upon the storm.
Blind unbelief Is sure to erf
Aud scan His work in vain.
God is His own Interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
While wo make this meroiful and rlghtems
allowance in regard to thoso who were
plunged into mental incoherence, I declare
that the man who in the U9e of his real on,
by his own act, snaps the bond between his
body and hl9 soul goes straight into perdi
tion. Shall I prove it? Revelation xxi.. 8,
“Murder«rs shall have their part in tho lake
which burneth with flro and brimstone;’*
Revelation xxil., 15, “Without are dogs and
fcoreerers and whoremongors and murder
ers." You do not believe the New Testa
ment? Then perhaps you believe the Ten
Commandments, “Thou shalt not kill.’*
Do you say all these passages refer to the
taking of the life of others? Then I jvsk you
if you are not as for your own
lifo as foi the life of others? God gave you
a special trust in your life. He made you
the custodian of your life as he made you the
custodian of no other life* He gave you as
weapons with which to defen 1 It two arms
to strike back assailants, two eyas to watch
for invuslou and a natural love of life which
ought ever to be on the alert. Assassination
of others Is a mild crime compared with tho
assassination of yourself, because in the
latter ease it ’ft treachery to uu especial
trust, it is the surrender of a castle you were
especially appointed to keep, it is treason to
a natural law, and it is treason to God added
to ordinary murder.
To show how God in tho Bible looked
upon this crime l point you to the rogues'
picture gallery in some parts of the Bibie,
the pictures of the people who have com
mitted this dunatural crime. Here is the
headless trunk of Saul on the walls of B ith
shnn. Here is the man who chased little
David—ten feet in statue chasing four. Here
is the man who consulted a clairvoyant,
witch of Eu lor. Here is a man who,
whipped in little, instead of surrendering
his sword with dignity, asks his servant to
slay him. and when the servant declines then
the giant plants the hilt of the sword in the
earth, the sharp point sticking upward, and
he throws his bo ly on it and expires, the
coward, the suicide! Here is Ahithophel,
the Mactiinvelll of Dlden times, betraying his
best friend, David, in or ter that he may be
come prime minister of Absalom and joining
that fellow in his attempt at parricide. Not
getting what he wanted by change of polities
he takes a short cut out of a disgraced life
into the suicide’s eternity. There he Is, the
ingrate!
Here is Abi nelech practically a suicide.

Intloc After Tom I’aino’s “Age of Reason”
was published and widely read there was a
marked increase of self-slaughter.
Rousseau, Voltaire, Gibbon, Montaigne,
under certniu circumstances, were apolo
getic for self immolation. Infidelity puts up
no bar to people’s rushing Out Irom this

Why was it at midnight, just at midnight,

The 430 years were not up at 11, and 1 o’clock

THE WRECK WAS FEARFUL
And the Loss of Life Appalling ou the
Rock Island Road.
A special from Lincoln, Neb., says:
It was long after daylight before the
burning pile at the scene of Thursday
night’s frightful railroad wreck had
sufficiently cooled to allow the grue
some work of removing the debris and
search for the victims to begin. The
corrected list of dead is as follows:
C. I). Stanuard, conductor; Ike De
pew, engineer; William Craig, fireman;
W. O. Hamble, farmer; Joseph Myc
ger, farmer; E. H. Zeernecke, ab
stractor ; Henry Peters, Omaha ; L. D.
Matthews, traveling man; Dr. C. N.
Birney, Council Bluffs; E. H. Myers,
traveling man; A. B. Abee, insurance
agent; J. N. Beaver,clothier. All the
above were buried in the wreck and so
badly burned as to be almost unrecog
nizable.
The list of injured is large but noue
are seriously hurt.
Everything points to the fact that
the train was deliberately wrecked.
Officials of tho Rock Island railroad
will accept no other theory, and have
offered a reward of SI,OOO for the
capture of the miscreants. The fish
plates were removed with a crowbar,
which was found with the plates, in
the tall grass near the burned bridge.
The rail was left in place, so that the
engineer was unable to discover the
dastardly work.

The Chinese Tongue.
In the Chinese language all the
words are monosyllables. But each
monosyllable may have ns many' as a
dozen distinct meanings. To distin
guish these the Words are uttered in
different “tones’’ each word varying
or changing in pitch according to its
significance. In speaking a monosyl
lable the pitch is set either high or
low, and is kept constant or raised or
sunk, even ns much as a semi-tone.
The result is that the Chinese detect
difierences of “tone” more readily
than variations in the vowel seunds.
In addition, when a monosyllable pro
nounced in a certain manner lias more
than one meaning, certain qualifying
articles (classifier ) are used with these
words to distinguish them. Hence it
comes that all Chinese puns depend
on a confusion between two different
vowels in monosyllabic words. So the
puns are invariably bad, and never
attain to the refined atrocity so com
mended by Lamb.—New York Dis
patch.
Eyes of Russian Criminals.
One of the most curious results of
the investigations made by doctors in
the Russian jails is the statement that
each group of criminals has its own
particular color of the eye. A legal
journal at Odessa stated that it has
been found that thieves and murder
ers usually possess “chestnut-brown”
eyes. Robbers—that is to say, thieves
in a large und violent line of business
—have slate-colored eyes, and the
same is stated of criminals convicted
of swindling. The vagabond classes,
among whom are probably reckoned
the pasHportless class, have eyes of
azure-blue tint. The color most ob
served among minor criminals and
those convicted of slight offences is
“chestnut-brown green.”—New York
Dispatch.

magistrates to answer to the charge of
having sold and offered for sale dis
eased meat. The man contended that
the meat was not so brftl as it had been
represented. The magistrates decided
to consult a competent butcher, who
was present, and he was instructed to
retire and inspect it. When ho re
turned and confronted the bench, the
presiding magistrate said: I
“Well, sir, what is your judgment?®
Is it lit for human food?” '
Well, gentb-men, I ha’ seed better,
and 1 ha’ seed wus, but I can’t say as
