There arve gome people who c'y_"‘ery u,owf
and sgain appear ready to snub somebo-|
dy, They count it & kind of royal thing,
‘to do and délight in it. They cultivate a
kind of hapghty, indifferent gaperior:
bearing toward those they, 4o ngt like.
Towards othprs they - cast a cold) pieres
ing, snubhy lsok, or a hassing by which
lets them knaw that they de not wish a
nything'to do with them. Thesg snub
bers imaging that those whom they de
spise have either done thera great inju
ry, or are about to do 86, or would do so
if they could, and therefore they will
et themy krow that thoy ‘do not gare a
nything for them. It is not cesential |to
the snubber that any real! injury has heen
received, Imagindry cuts ave as géezlt as
real oneg. The snubber iz generally a
worse one than the ove snubbed, He
lacks grace.and manliness aad oh*
and gentlemanliness, He is régerful
and sugpicions, and without coffidence
in his feligwman. He has a sour spirit,
which knows nothing of forgiveness and
overlooking the faults of (vt!‘.er‘;‘f,f,_ tle

Thege snubbing pérsons soon y]@inge
to get rid of their friends. They can chill
a church and drive out-g dozen corycrts
in a single'séason. Someé'ot them' have.
been known to take special pleasurein
applying their artfo the preacher of“the
charge: Thev can hake him ‘feel’ that
they donot welcome his ministratios® or
visits in their families; and then hesause
he does not visit them as often asicthars,
they can talk sbout him tothosé whom
they think will be}impressed by Hhieir
high jdeal of a pastor. . oA
We never heard of Christ or the apos
tles snubbing anybody. When'Jesus was.

was persecnted he gave po -thréat, The

i practice of snubbing people: e js not a
hypoerit,but a real lover of men and one
who forgives men their tresspassses as
“w asks forgiveness of God. We want a
broader, purer spivit of love in all ory
churches and inthe family, We want a
Christ likeness which destroys the hu

A Lizzaerd in His Stemach,
TFor the past five orsix years, says al
St. Lowis special, John Hogpan, a master
stone cfitter,residing on Magazine streets
has suffered terribly from what the doc
tors in St. Louls apd other citizens have
regarded as a complicated intestinal dis
dorder. He has twice been in hospitals
in St. Louis, and has spent tl.e greater
part of his earnings with a yiew to secur
ing some permanent yelief, Last Thurs
day Horan was at work in the stone-yard
when he wags suddenly taken ill. Fear
ing that he was going so vomit blood, he
clased his eyes and leaned for support
onthe stone on which he was working,
He thon expericenced a terrible pain in
his throat. Next he vomited. On recover
eving and looking around, he found he
had not parted with a§ portion of his
lungs, as the pain and sensation he had
experienced led him to fear he had done,
but with a speciesof replile of surpris
ing dimeunsions. Horan immediately
called his fellow workmen,and to their as
tonishment pointed out the wriggling
reptile he had just ejected fronvhis sys
tem. It was stretched out on the stone
clippings by one of the masons, who, on
applying his rule toit found that it was
fully 8 inches long. From his head with
in two inchee of its other extremity the
reptile was about I's inches tlick. 1t is
now in possession of Dr. Y. [l. Boyd,
of laston avenue. Mr. Horan’s suffer
ings for five years have been terrib’e. He
could not work. tor more then an hour
‘Without stopping to rest. Often he had
to remain away from work two or three
,'dn_\'s in a week He had no appetite, and
‘when_he did-take food wagrire.y able to
retain more than a small p&‘ih»l of it.
scldom did he obtain an uubflokon night’s
vest, Ile frequontly” he deelared that
e conld feel gomething turning around
in hiz stomach. The deetors told him
‘that his intestines were groying togeth
er. Sinee he had vomited the repti'e hi
brother had come to the conelusion that
e must have unknowingly swallowed it
when working .in the neighbethoad of
Daling, Teoxas, some geven or eight years
ago, as o place where the wator was im

A Burning Ca:.
Grerney, Col., Aug, 29.—The burning |
of the citen# car, nine wileg north of

horror, The burned car yag next to the:
engine in g train of 17 cars, containing
Orton's Anglo-American civeus, which!
Jest ahout midnight last night for Gal

running at:tlic rate af.about 25 miley an
hour, when Engincer Colehrist discayer

‘whistle valye, There were 60 men in the
car, arranged in three tiers of bunks on
‘cither sile g’onvzu‘d. The gide door was
closed, ‘and geyen men in the bunks
sleeping againgt it, The rear sidedoor
wags also cloged, and the men whoawoke
discovered the lower unoceupied berth
next to it containing a rubbish, on fire,
filling the car with smeke and cutting off
eggapd'in that direction. ;{.}o only means

}ing gases, it was difficult to arvouse the
sleepers, "and ‘some were kicked and
bruised in a shocking manner, gnd pitch
ed out at the window. ' The seréams of
’tho.s_é who were unable to get through
the blockade {0 the aparture were ' terri
| fying, The wild heasts inthe adjoining
car became frantic with terror, making
’thc scené appalling. The engine went to
Greely for assistunce, and returned with
Dr, Josde Holrpes, president of the state
‘mediecal association. Many of the res
cued; in being pulled through the' small
window's of the car, had these limbs bro.
ken and joints dislocated.” Afdm light a
flat car carried tha c¢harred bodies into
Greely for internent. The coutity com
