BROKEN BRIC-A BRACS Mr. Major, the famous cement man, of New York, explains some very interesting facts about Major's Cement. The multitudes who use this standard article know that it is many hundred per cent, better than other cements for which similar claims are made, but a great many do not know the reason why. The simple reason is that Mr Major uses the best materials ever discovered and other manufacturers do not use them, be cause they are too expensive and do not allow large profits. Mr. Major tells us that one of the elements of his cement costs $3.75 a pound and another costs $2.65 a gallon, while a large share of the so-called cements and liquid glue upon the market are nothing more than sixteen cent glue, dissolved in water or citric acid, and in some cases altered slightly in color and odor by the addition of cheap and useless materials. Major's cement retails at fifteen cents and twenty-five cents a bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon it that his only object is to make larger profit The profit on Major's cement is as much as any dealer ought to make on any cement. And this is doubly true in View of the fact that each dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr Major's advertising, which now amounts to over $5000 a month, throughout the country.

A Noted Detective. His Death was A Surprise to the Public. Detective Benjamin Thornton, one of the most celebrated colored police officers in the United States, died at his home, 525 Bright street, at 11:30 o'clock Monday night of asthma. He had been confined to his home for less. M. B. than a week. The illness that preceded his death was in a great measure due to the zealous performance of his duties. Three weeks ago he received information that enabled him, in company with Detective Splan, to locate a locate a lot of stolen bicycles, and for two or three days the two officers were driving about the country searching for the thieves. Daring these trips he contracted a cold. He received the tip that Edward Ruthven, the colored man wanted by The Recorder. A NEGRO NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COLORED PEOPLE OF INDIANA the Cleveland authorities to answer the charge of murder, and for two nights he was on watch near the house in which he was caught. On the day of the capture he reported and wanted to accompany the squad of detectives that made the arrest, but Cap. Kinney ordered him to go home. Benjamin Tobias Thornton was born in slavery at Winchester, Va., December 18, 1849, his parents having belonged to a family named Krebbes. When he was twelve years of age he ran away to keep from being whipped and passed through the lines of Col Orin Perry's regiment which was encamped at Winchester. One of the soldiers caught him up in his arms and he was taken to headquarters where the colonel formally adopted him as a mascot of the regiment, telling him he could remain with his men. At the close of the war he was taken to Washington, and after the regiment with which he cast his lot was mustered out of the service, he located at Richmond in this state, where he was employed in the family of a man named Jewell. He remained there about a year and came to Indianapolis and went to work for Jason Cary in a coopers shop. When he was sixteen years of age he went to Kansas City, where he was also employed in a coopers shop. He also attended school there at odd times and it was while in that city he first met his wife, who was Essie M. Moore He returned to Indianapolis and after a short time, in which he kept a set of books and drove a sprinkling cart, he was appointed to the police force. His appointment was made in May, 1875. He was married October 10, 1877. For about a year after his appointment to the police force he was a patrolman and afterwards served two years as a turnkey. He was sent out on a district and served as a patrolman until August 26, 1886, when he became a member of the detective force, where he has since been retained. There are few men who have been as universally respected and who have maintained as high a degree of integrity as Ben Thornton. His brother officers without exception say that he has always been faithful to his duty and his record in the department bears this out. Only once in his career was he reprimanded, and he contended always that on that occasion he was censured for telling the truth. The incident grew out of the killing of Charles Eyster by Parker and McAfee a great many years ago. He was universally respected by his friends and acquaintances and enjoyed an enviable reputation as a citizen and an officer. During his career as a detective he made many celebrated arrests, and a most peculiar circumstance of his life is that he was stabbed by a colored desperado the same day that President Garfield was shot. Among those he captured were Philip Cooper and his wife who robbed J. W. Murphy of $2,000 worth of diamonds. He also recovered valuable diamonds stolen from George F. Adams and arrested the thief. He was in instrumental in the capture of the Southgate bank robbers and handled many other celebrated criminals during his life. He was a charter member of Lincoln Union Lodge, G. U. O. of O. F., and was secretary for several years. At the time of his death he was a grand director in the Biennial movable committee. He was also prominently connected with Pride of the West Lodge No. 2, Knights of Pythias. The funeral was held from Bethel A. M. E. church, Thursday afternoon. All day Wednesday and Thursday morning, the body lay in state, and it was viewed by thousands of people. There were numerous floral offerings, among them a beautiful design in the shape of a patrolman's star, four feet high and thirty-four inches wide, contributed by the police department. Mr Thornton always admired a star and crescent design and was the possessor of a jewel of this shape set with diamonds. This was the design sent by the detective force. Other large and beautiful designs were sent by The Ugly Men's club, Lincoln Union lodge and the Patriarch; Household of Ruth Pride of the West, K. of P., and Mr. Archie Greathouse. The smaller designs were beautiful and many. The pall bearers were, Captain Kinney and detective Splann of the detective force, patrolmen Harris and Rich U.S. PRESIDENT WILLIAM M'KINLEY. ards; Edward Harris and Dr. B. J. Morgan of the Ugly Men's club; N. Hill and C. A. Webb of Lincoln Union lodge and Benj. Wade and Edmund White of the Patriarchie. Grand directors Lee of Atlanta, Ga., and Temple of St. Louis. Mo., attended as representatives of the bi-ennial committee The funeral procession was headed by a detail of twenty-four patrolmen under the command of Captain Kruger, followed by the Indianapolis Military band, the Uniformed Patriarche, then the lodges and Household of Ruth. The procession was the largest seen in this city for many years. At the church, the services were con ducted by the pastor Rev. C. W. Newton, assisted by visiting ministers. The services were brief but solemn, and the speaker dwelt in laudable terms of the lifes work of this good citizen, and affectionate husband and father. His profession in a hope bewat but a fiting end to his usefulness. The burial was in Crown Hill.

The two locomotives to be used in the head-end collision at the State Fair July 4, have interesting histories. No. 167 was turned out of the old Sandusky (O.) shops in 1871, and was considered the fastest engine then in Ohio. She was the first coal burner in the service in Ohio, and hauled a train of five coaches at the rate of a mile a minute for 45 miles. The other engine, No. 216, was built at the same shops in 1873, and was named "John Y. Beattie." She had her first wreck in 1873, and in 1879 was in a head-end collision near Tiffin, O., while running twenty five miles an hour. This engine, once knocked a two-year-old boy over a board fence. The child was not seriously hurt, and may witness the Fourth of July head-end collision. No. 167 was named "J. S. Farlow." Both engines are in fairly good condition. Will Celebrate.

John Worth Kern, candidate for Governor, was born Dec. 20, 1849, on a farm in Howard county, this state. His father, Dr. Jacob H. Kern, was a prominent figure in the early history of the county. Mr. Kern's mother died when he was very young. John's inclinations were opposed to his father's desire that he should study medicine. He acquired his early education in the common schools, and completed it at Ann Arbor, Mich, where he was also graduated in law. He began active practice before he was 20 years old. In 1870 he married Julia Anna Hazard, a year after he had been admitted to the bar in Kokomo. Two children were born to them.

Physicians in South Africa, says a press report, now have another theory for explaining away the charges made by both Briton and Boer that the other is using explosive bullets. The extensive laceration often found in bullet wounds is now said to be due to the air which the bullet drives before it into the wound. "The existence of this phenomenon can be proved easily. If a round bullet be dropped into a glass of water from the height of a few feet it will be seen that when the bullet touches the bottom a large bubble of air will become detached and rise to the surface. In this case the bubble will usually be from ten to twenty times the size of the bullet. Now, a Mauser bullet, traveling at high speed, is said to carry before it a bubble of compressed air of large dimensions. Experiments made by a surgeon who fired a pistol ball into a glass of water showed the bubble to be 100 times the size of the ball. From the appearance of the wounds and from these experiments it is concluded that the mass of air driven by a Mauser bullet explodes in the body of the wounded man with sufficient force to cause extensive laceration. This destructive air bubble is well known to surgeons under the name of "projectile air."—Literary Digest. An American Senorita. "Senorita" is the Spanish prefix to the name of an unmarried young lady. It corresponds to the French "mademoiselle" to the American "miss". The use of "senorita" as the Christian name is extraordinary. Down in Tennessee there is a lady upon whom her parents bestowed the baptismal designation of "Senorita" when she was a child. It must be admitted that the name looks well in print and sounds well when spoken. "Senorita" Alexander lives at Elizabethton. "In the County of Carter," as the official language has it. And what lends additional interest to the fact is that "Senorita" Alexander has just been appointed and confirmed postmaster at Elizabethton. The word postmaster is used advisedly. Uncle Sam does not recognize officially such a postmistress.—Washington cor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Plowing Under Difficulties. Our Bathhurst correspondent writes as follows: For the past fortnight the much-needed rain has come down copiously, and the country is now looking green again. Nearly all the wagons and oxen being at the front, it would astonish some people to see the shifts that are being made to plow. I can see from where I am sitting a team plowing consisting of one bull, one cow in milk, one heifer and one young bullock. Of course it is not much more than scratching the surface, but still on soft ground they manage to make a good seedbed. Locusts are still plentiful, but as there are no crops for them to eat, and there are not enough cattle left to eat all the grass, the damage they are doing is inconsiderable.—South African News. A Utah Dog Story There is a church bell on the east side that seems to have a peculiar attraction for the dogs of the vicinity. Each Sabbath morning, as soon as the bell begins its noise, many of the canines in the neighborhood prick up their ears and start in single file for the church. Arriving there, they array themselves in front and start in on a yowling obligato. This beautiful vocal effort is persevered in as long as the bell keeps going, and when it stops the dogs feel that their duty has been done, and dropping their ears and voices start home again.—Salt Lake Tribune.

The forthcoming report of the State fee and salary commission will show that the framers of the laws of 1891 and 1895 went astray in their calculations. The report contains a comparison of counties in regard to fees taxed, fees collected, salaries allowed by law and salaries paid, the basis being the salary allowed by law. From these comparisons, carried out for the five county officers, the commission has made these deductions: "The salaries fixed by the laws of 1891 and 1895 were graded according to population, after an arbitrary rule was applied to the four least and the one most populous counties. The other essential constitutional requirement, necessary services rendered, was met by making the salaries of sheriff, clerk and recorder dependent on fees collected." Under the conditions imposed by those laws, inequalities in compensation are numerous, and beyond remedy under the present system, or any other of like character. The pay of officers was based on population, and a table prepared shows that the relative rank of most of the counties with regard to the payment of salaries from 1897 to 1899, does not agree with their rank, as regards population. Marion county ranked first in population and salaries paid; Elkhard held sixth place in population, and twelfth in salaries; Lake, population, 35, salaries, 10; Jay, population 39, salaries 17. If the law had worked out as intended, a county would have held the same rank with regard to salaries that she did in population. The commission will not recommend set salaries for each officer, as under the present law. Great Marl Deposits. "There is enough marl in the lakes in Northern Indiana to furnish cement for the United States for the next hundred years to come," said State Geologist Blatchley, in an interview at Indianapolis Tuesday. He has just returned from an investigation of the lakes in Kosciusko county and found a large deposit in Lake James, which is a part of Lake Tipppeance. He was unable to make soundings deeper than twenty-two feet, but in all parts of the lake he found deposits to that depth, except in one corner. This, he says, is enough to supply the largest factory. There are eight lakes in all in this group and Mr. Blatchley made soundings in five of them. In two he found marl in sufficient quantities to pay for working it and traces of it in the other three. Lake James, in which the largest deposit was found, is 375 acres in extent. One factory is about completed, which will cost $180,000 when completed, and will employ 150 men. A J. P. For 48 Years. Plainfield special: 'Squire Ell Johnson, 86, died Sunday at 10:30 p. m. He was born in North Carolina in 1814, and had lived in Plainfield since 1867. In 1852 he was elected justice of the peace and served continuously ever since. He was personally acquainted with two Presidents and was an eye witness to the dumping of one in the mud in Plainfield in the late thirties. An appropriation had been made by Congress to open the National road and President Martin Van Buren vetoed the bill. To get even, his enemies hired a driver to upset the stage coach in a particularly bad mud hole, which he did. But two others who witnessed this performance are now living, Dr. Jesse Reagan and Harlan Hadley. A Muncle Man's Bug Scheme Munice special: Richardson, a nurseryman, has discovered a bug which he says will protect shrubbery and trees from insects. The bug eats the insect insects but not the leaves. It is about a half inch long, black in color, with red spots. It his six legs and a worm-like body. Richardson found the bug on a cherry tree. He has been studying 'its habits for several weeks. He gathered in several specimens and gave them to his customers. The bugs were given a test and Richardson's statements proved true, say the customers. Richardson may start a "bug farm" and raise the insects to sell. He believes he could make money. Becomes a Fugitive For 899 Rilehmond special: Daniel Kitchell, a wealthy farmer, is a fugitive. He was fined $$$, including costs, for cruelty to animals. He gave notes for his fine. A week later he came to the 'squire's office to redeem the notes. When the 'squire left the office to telephone to the bank to find if Kitchell's check was good, Kitchell gathered up his notes and fled. The Nellie Berger Case. Peru special: Nellie Berger, for whose alleged abduction Clyde Jones is now on trial, teetified, Tuesday, in an invalid's chair. She told how Jones had induced her to leave home to work for his stepmother; how he had assaulted her again and again, and threatened to kill her if she oried for help. She sobbed frequently during the narrative. The court-room was crowded. The examination continued Wednesday. Jones showed no emotion. Five "Smart Aleks" Laporte special: Henry G. Pratt, SS, died Saturday at Walkerton, of acute alcoholism. Pratt died in the agony of tremors, caused by liquor furnished him by young men who conceived the idea of making him drunk to see how he would act. Five young men, all members of prominent families, are implicated and the mother of one is reported to have lost her reason from worry. Chueden Not Guilty. Shelbyville special: The jury in the case of Julius Chueden, charged with attempting to pass a forged warrant on the Shelby county treasurer, came in with a verdict of not guilty. Wednesday morning Chueden was indicted along with several others who were connected with county deals last fall. A Leopard at Large. Marlon special: Elks' carnival visitors were scared almost out of their clothes Tuesday by the escape of a big leopard from its cage. Everybody scooted for a safe place and the gates were closed. After a half hour's chase over barrels and boxes the beast was finally lassoed and put into his cage. A Forger's Error Lands Him in "Pen." Muncie special; A. E. Woodford was given from two to fourteen years in Michigan City penitentiary, Monday morning, for passing forged checks on Holt & Long, music dealers. Woodford passed forged checks on music dealers in Anderson, Marion, Fairmount and Muncie. Woodford was detected by W. J. Holt, when he tried to pass the check. It was signed by W. B. Carson. Carson's middle letter is J. Eight years ago Woodford lost $30,000 in a Milwaukee bank failure. His defense was partial derangement from morphine and drink. Flooded With Counterfeits Knightstown special: Four men flooded this city Saturday evening with counterfeit dollars. The dollar is a poor one and bears the date of 1891. The officers chased them six miles and captured a bicycle which one of the men rode. The dollar bears the mark of the New Orleans mint. School Row at Dublin. Dublin special: James Hammond, whom the town council removed from the school board, will sue to establish his right to the presidency of the board. He was removed on petition of citizens. After his removal he and Treasurer Hoffman organized a little board of their own and elected C. E. Green, Frankton, superintendent. A full corps of teachers has been chosen by each board and both sets will probably show up at the school houses to teach if the trouble is not setted before fall. Hammond is well off and will push his case to the finish. Probable Crossing War Anderson special: The Panhandle railway has placed a switch across Arrow avenue, put freight cars on it and torn out the switch opening. The Union traction company's electric line must cross the tracks at this point on the way to Pendleton. It is probable that a legal war will ensue and the road's entrance to Indianapolis be delayed. Two Persons Drown. South Bend special: While boating on the river Tuesday night, Fred Sinders and Mary Claire were drowned by their boat capsizing. It is thought a third person was in the boat. A Miner's Obsequies. Linton special: Hugh Dempsey, 22, killed in the New Summit mine by falling slate, was buried Saturday. A thousand miners and Odd Fellows formed the procession and conducted the ceremonies. The mule driven by the deceased was draped in black and followed the hearse. The Baldwin Oratorical Prize Crawfordsville special: The twenty-fifth annual Baldwin oratorical contest was held Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The prize is $40 in gold, the income of an investment made by Judge D. P. Baldwin, of Logansport. The contesting seniors were as follows: Emile W. McAfee, Crawfordsville, "A Plea for Unity;" Guy M. Morls, Lebanon, "The Lion of the North;" Gibson Wilson, Murray, "Whitier;" George M. Whitenack, Crawfordsville, "The Mission of a Nation;" Will H. Hays, Sullivan, "The Zeitgeist;" Walter G. Todd, Lagro, "Industrial Emancipation." McAfee and Hays were tied for first place, and the prize was divided between them. A Romance. Fort Wayne special: Mary Wierzek, 21, has arrived in Baltimore from Posen, Poland. She will be married this week to Valentine Kranz, of Fort Wayne, Kranz came to America from Poland, leaving his girl love behind. He married the daughter of a Polish exile and, two years ago she died. He wrote to his first love and she agreed to come to him in America. Old Singing School. Bethel special: A great event for Bethel, Sunday, was the "old fashioned singing school." in which 8,000 people sang in grand chorus the songs of three-quarter of a century ago. Sunday's crowd was the largest for the last twenty years. Crushed by a Shed. Washington special: Constable Basil Lemon and Clay McCormick let themselves be tracked by bloodhounds recently purchased by the police. They crawled in an old shed, which collapsed just as the hounds appeared. Both were knocked scheless and Constable Lemon had a rik broken. A Bachelor's Misfortune Vincennes special: William Solomon, a bachelor farmer of Wheetland, was belling coffee in an air-tight bucket last week. Tae bucket exploded and soaked out both his eyes.

How She Appears as a Wife to Susan B. Anthony. The woman of today is as much superior in the capacity of a wife for the man of today as a person with all his faculties is superior to one who is mentally deficient. What does a man want in a wife? Does he want simply a doll stuffed with sawdust to sit in his parlor, ride in his carriage and wear the best clothes he is able to buy for her? Does he want merely a housekeeper, an upper servant to superintend his meals, keep his wardrobe in order and act as nursery governess for the children? Or does he desire in the woman who is to be nearest to him always an intelligent companion, one who can enter into his intellectual life with sympathetic appreciation; one to whom he can confide his business affairs; who will understand them as would a partner, and wisely graduate the expenses to suit the income? Does he want only one who can see that the dinner is properly cooked and beautifully served and sit at the table like a handsome lay figure? Or would he prefer that in addition to these accomplishments she should be able to converse understandingly on the current topics of the day? Shall she be able merely to minister to the material wants of the children, or shall she be their assistant and companion in mental and spiritual affairs up to and all through manhood and womanhood? When the man was plowing and sowing and reaping, and a woman was spinning and weaving, and churning and tailoring and doing scores of things which have long since been taken out of the home, they were approximately equal and satisfied with each other. During the last few generations ambitious man has made long strides forward. Much of the work which they formerly did with their own hands has been delegated to machinery, or to those who are not yet fitted for anything higher. While men were thus progressing it could not be expected that women would stand still. There is no more a new woman to-day than there is a new man. The husbands of the present would be no better satisfied with the old fashioned wife than they would be with the old fashioned clothes or articles of household use or locomotion or implements of work. We live in a new age, of new things and new people. I do not wish to say that the wife of the past was not adapted to the husband of the past, but I do most emphatically believe that there was never so much intelligent and sympathetic comradeship between husbands and wives in general as there is at the present time, and that woman is better fitted for a helpmeet and companion—Chicago Times-Herald. PAPER CARPETS. Pretty and Cheap and Desirable for Summer Use. We go to the carpet department of the big stores to get our eyes opened. Of course, we first look at the real Jan mattings, and, though there are 220 patterns, we find more more altogether delightful than the one over the surface of which floats a dainty company of truly Japanese butterflies. They cost $21 a piece, and there are 40 yards in a piece. And then comes our surprise. We ask how much is that pretty matting in solid colors there, only to be informed that it isn't matting at all, but rather "fibre paper." It costs 50 cents the yard, and is a particularly desirable summer furnishing where some color scheme must be followed out. The thread forming the warp is of ecrun, and blends in prettily and inconspicuously with the blues, greens, reds or rose tints which form the ground of the different patterns. Stitched Belts Stitched belts, fastened with a small buckle or tiny pin, seem to find favor with a large number of women, who usually manage to wear what others have overlooked. These made in black velvet, stitched in white satin or in silk to match the color of the gown, give an exquisite finish to the waist. Remember that they are made extremely narrow, sometimes not more than an inch wide. Stray Bits of Information as to Their Kind and Birthplaces. In view of the great masses of fine lace used upon the splendid new dresses, a bit about the filmy treasures is apropos. Even "little" Buttercup could think of nothing more winning than, "I've ribbons and laces To set off the faces Of pretty young sweet hearts and wives." SomeDefinitions—An imitation lace is a machine-made lace of any kind. It is often finer than the real, and plays a conspicuous part on even the finest dresses. Its chief defect is that it is too regular; connoisseurs find it "lifeless." Point lace is lace made entirely with the needle, the pattern being drawn on parchment. This is stitched to a double piece of linen. Then delicate stitching, chiefly buttonhole, completes the intricate design. Thread lace is made from linen, as distinguished from that made from silk or cotton thread. Pillow or bobbin lace is lace made on a cushion, it being intermediate between weaving and pleating. Both pattern and mesh are made by hand. Brussels Lace—This includes the finest lace in the world. The city itself, capital of Belgium, ranks among Europe's cities. In trade the name is often given to finest laces of any nationality or pattern. At the present time it is especially an application lace, having needle point sprigs and flowers sewed to a bobbin-made ground, or bobbin-made flowers applied to a needle-made ground, or to tulle. The flax for this lace often costs from $60 to $80 per pound, and is spun in darkened rooms lest the spindler's attention is distracted. Oh, the care that it takes And the work that it makes to bring to pass anything for which the world will continue to ask. Duchess—This always lovely lace was originally made in Belgium. It is a pillow or bobbin lace, containing a large amount of raised work, volants and the like. Honiton—Made at Honiton, in Devonshire, England; this lace is remarkable for the beauty of its figures and sprig. Honiton applique is made by working sprays, any part of a pattern on pillow lace, and securing them to a net ground made separately. Often hand-made figures are sewed to a machine-made ground. It is somewhat similar to duchess. Cluny—This is a kind of net lace in which the stitch is darned upon a square net background. The patterns are quaint, even antique, and the modern is quite like that of the seventeenth century. Gulpure—Originally made of cords, wound with thread, and kept in place by bars. Cluny-gulpure has a formal design added. Torchon—This old standby for underwear is a course bobbin lace, of rather soft and loosely twisted, stout thread. Most peasant made lace is of this sort. It is largely copied by machinery. Valenciennes—During the French revolution the manufacture of this always favored lace was almost wholly removed to Belgium, where it remains. It is a durable bobbin lace, having the same kind of thread for ground and figure. This dearest of bobbin laces, with ground and figure made by the same hand, involves the use of a great number of threads and bobbins. Renalssance—Of course its name signifies the revival of anything long in disuse. This lace is more beautiful to modern eyes than the antiques which suggested it. Arabian, points d'Arabe, is a bit heavier. Bed Foulard. One point of advantage in red foulard gowns is that they require very little lace for trimming, as it seems to take away rather than add to the style. Narrow velvet ribbon makes a pretty finish with possibly a little lace for the bodice and a belt and sash ends of soft plain silk. Bands of batiste or linen covered with rows of stitching or hems of linen, set in with an open hemstitching, are especially effective in the red foulards, since something which tones down rather than exaggerates the effect of color gives the most style. To Bleach a Sailor. To bleach your last year's white sailor hat, dissolve a teaspoonful of oxalic acid in a saucer of warm water and apply the liquid to the hat with a tooth brush. When well cleaned place the hat for a moment under running water, and then set away on a flat surface to dry. When still slightly damp press the brim with a warm iron. THE RECORDER, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA Keep Air From Fruit. The following is a hint on keeping air out of fruit in a self-sealing manner: "Put wax in canned fruits and vegetables!" exclaimed a woman while listening to a friend, an experienced housekeeper. "Certainly I do," the friend replied. "That is the great secret of canned fruits and vegetables. It is very simple and you can see at why it is so efficient a preservative. "Into each can or jar drop a piece of wax about half the size of the first joint of your thumb. The fruit or vegetable is hot, of course, when it is poured into the can, the wax melting forms a thin coating around the top, bottom and sides, a coating which keeps in the juices, as well as keeps out the air. "When you open the can it is cold, and the coat of wax can be taken off as easily as a paper." "If you have never tried it you can not realize its excellence. If you once try it I am sure you will never think of any other method."—Philadelphia Press. Keep Children Busy. Teach children to do little things about the house. It trains them to be useful, not awkward in later and important affairs; it gives them occupation while they are small, and it really is an assistance to the mother in the end, although she always feels during the training period that it is much easier to do the things herself than to show another how. This last excuse has done much to make selfish, idle, unhady members of an older society, and should be remembered, in its effects, by the mother, while her little ones are beginning to learn all things, good and bad, at her knee. Occupation makes happiness, and occupation can not be acquired too young. Strawberry Wine. Choose very ripe berries; put them into a tub or jar; cover with boiling water; let stand all night, then mash with a wooden spoon. Strain into a cask and allow fermentation for two weeks; then to every gallon of juice add two pounds of granulated sugar. To Feed Wild Birds. We have found a very simple way of providing board in winter and lodging in summer for a great number of birds. You have only to buy a few cocoanuts, cut off the ends, like taking the top off an egg, which can easily be done with a sharp chisel and a mallet; bore holes through the sides, put a string through and knot it, and then hang the cocoanut from a creeper or bough. Thus for a few cents you can provide food for these lively little birds for weeks, or rather months. Last winter our cocoanuts were seldom let alone for many moments. Birds swarmed on them, lowering themselves down by the string, and at last, when confidence was quite established, flying straight in. They worked away at them from early morn till dewy eve. When all the nut is eaten the shells make excellent nesting places and will probably be taken possession of by the same birds that hollow them out if the shells are left out through the summer. In this way both board and lodging are provided on most reasonable terms, with no extras. In the hardest weather this food supply is always available, and if you are away from home for a few days you know that your little birds will not be in want. Christian Work. The Great Seal of England The seal consists of a large mass of sterling silver, measuring about $6\frac{1}{2}$ inches in diameter by $1\frac{1}{4}$ inches in depth, or thickness. It is in two parts, both smooth on the outer side, but elaborately engraved within. These two surfaces are impressed upon a lump of wax attached in an ingenious way to any document to which her Majesty as sovereign gives her royal assent. The weight of the seal is 185 ounces, and its value in metal about £30. Each seal is engraved during the reign of the sovereign whose name it bears, and the collection presents a curious and accurate epitome of English history. All Lord Cancellors have taken the greatest care of the seals in their charge, and have contrived recesses and elaborate devices for their safe custody. One of them in the reign of Charles II actually slept with the seal under his pillow, and by this loving precaution saved it from thieves who one night broke into his house and carried off the mace belonging to the House of Lords, and other valuable property.—Chambers' Journal. Embarrassing When the new minister, a handsome and unmarried man, made his first pastoral call at the Forsickes, he took little Anna up in his arms and tried to kiss her. But the child refused to be kissed; she struggled loose and ran off into the next room, where her mother was putting a few finishing touches to her adornment before going into the parlor to greet the clergyman. "Mamma," the little girl whispered, "the man in the parlor wanted me to kiss, him." "Well," replied mama, "why didn't you let him? I would if I were you." Thereupon-Anna ran back into the parlor, and the minister asked: "Well, little lady, won't you kiss me now?" "No, I won't," replied Anna, promptly, "but mamma says she will."—Harper's Bazar. Traced to Cathon There has been considerable discussion regarding the author of the phrase. "The constitution follows the flag." Bryan has been generally credited with this distinction, because some months ago he wrote a signed article for a New York newspaper in which the phrase occurred. "No living statesman," says Congressman Long. of Kansas, "can rightfully claim to be the author of the expression." Mr. Long has been searching the records and finds that John C. Calhoun first used the words in a debate in the Senate on February 24, 1849. Calhoun said: "Wherever our flag waves, the constitution goes."—Washington Post. AGRICULTURE. CATHEDRAL WOODS. A temple of the Lord is here, Uplifting to the sky; And in His praise its feathered choir Continually do cry. Down through its roof's green tracery The mellowed sunlight falls; The shadows of its lofty aisles To prayer and worship calls. The trailing vines their banners swing In rich emblazonry. And gleams from many a shining wing Heaven's own bright heraldry. The fragrant needles of the pines Bestrew its mossy floor. While myriad blossoms, day by day, Their sweetest incense pour. Lift up your hearts!—they seem to say— As each its offering brings; Lift up your hearts—the temple fair, Is His, the King of Kings! —Alice Alcho, in New England Magazine. INOCULATING THE SOIL. How Tuberoles on Roots Store Up Plant Food - Interesting Experiments. Soil inoculation is receiving considerable attention over the country at the present time, though some doubt has been entertained in regard to the claims made in its favor, experiments at the several agriculture experiment stations demonstrate that inoculation of the soil is no longer a theory but a fact. The Kansas Experiment Station last year made extensive experiments with soy beans and has published its results in Bulletin No. 96, which is a very interesting document. For the benefit of those who desire to satisfy themselves it may be mentioned that by examining the roots of such plants as clover, alfalfa, beans and peas one will usually find scattered over their exterior surfaces tubercles of various sizes and shapes. These tubercles are, with very few exceptions, peculiar to a certain exponents of plants known as "leguminosa." The tubercles are the outgrowths of the plants themselves, and are produced by the action of certain micro-organisms working within the tissues of the root. Formerly these tubercles were considered abnormal appendages, and as injurious to the plants, but later investigations revealed the fact that where these tubercles were wanting the plants did not make the growth that was made by plants where the tubercles were present. These tubercles are the homes of minute microscopic bacteria (Bacillus radicicola Beyer), and they have the remarkable property of taking free nitrogen from the atmosphere and transforming it into available compounds for plant food. This is what makes the leguminous plants so valuable as soil enrichers and specially prized for green manuring. Each plant has its special bacteria, as the organism-producing tubercles on the pea or bean will not produce tubercles on clover and alfalfa, and vice versa. The inoculation of the soil with the bacteria at the Kansas station was by procuring soil, or dirt, from the Hatch Experiment Station, Amherst, Mass., where experiments had previously been made. A solution made by saturating some of the Massachusetts soil with water (so as to pour it down to the roots—and also the dry inoculated soil were used, while several untreated plots were used for comparison. Several plots were inoculated at time of planting, some a week later, and others from four to six weeks later, after the plants were up. The seeding was on May 29, and the beans were up June 6. On June 13 nodules were found on the roots of some plants. The plants that were inoculated at the time of putting in the seed made the most growth. The results demonstrated that inoculation is a success, as not only were field tests made, but also in pots and with several varieties of beans. It is claimed for the soy bean that it is richer, in flesh-formers, milk-producing and bone-making elements than linseed meal, and the soy bean is also an excellent drench-resisting crop, while crops grown the following year upon land on which soy beans had been grown were larger than on land upon which the beans had been omitted. These experiments do not apply to the soy bean as the only plant that could have been used, however, as the cow pea, all the clovers, any of the beans, and alfalfa will give results peculiar to their kind, and any farmer can experiment and satisfy himself by inoculating his soil, compare with uninoculated soil, by simply washing the roots clean and observing the number and size of the nodules. In the application of inoculated soil a grain drill was used on some fields. First, a small quantity of soil was procured from a field on which a luxurant growth of beans had been secured. This inoculated a small plot, and from this plot enough inoculated soil was obtained for a large field. The same may be done with clover, peas or alfalfa; that is, procure a small quantity of dirt from a field on which such crops were grown (first examine the roots for nodules) and the work is accomplished. A grain drill will plant the seed and mix the inoculated soil as fast as a team can walk. About 100 pounds of inoculated soil will be sufficient for starting 500 feet of row for an "inoculating bed." If a drill is not convenient a shallow furrow may be opened by any convenient tool, the infected soil thickly spread along the bottom of the furrow and the seed planted: if of beans, or if of clover, the seed may be sown on the surface and raked in, the inoculated soil also being broadcasted, but well worked into the soil. When harvesting a crop the roots are left in the soil, and of course the soil is then also inoculated. To use the soil spade it as deep as the tubercles descend, throw it on a board to dry, and then put up in bags. The soil from 500 feet of row will supply several acres the next year. It is believed that a field once inoculated always remains so, and that the bacteria will slowly increase in the soil and live for a long time in the soil after the roots are removed. Soil kept in sacks for two years, being as dry as road dust, showed full strength in producing root tubercles when used. The inoculation of the soil with bacteria does not dispense with the use of fertilizers, however, as the bacteria produce nitrogen in the soil only, potash and phosphoric acid being also necessary as plant foods—Philadelphia Record. Planting Cabbage. Why do not cabbage plants form heads when left in the seed bed and simply thinned out to the proper number, instead of being transplanted? The Arkansas Experiment Station last year set out one lot of cabbage plants at the same depth they grew in the bed, or with the first leaves about four inches above the soil. From these twenty-five plants they grew sixteen heads, which weighed thirty-four pounds. Another lot of twenty-five plants was set down to a point half way between where they stood in the bed and the first leaf, or two inches deeper than the first. These made twenty-one heads that weighed 78% pounds. The third lot of twenty-five plants was set four inches deeper than the first, or down to the first leaves. These gave twenty-four heads, which weighed about 102 pounds, a gain of 68 pounds, in favor of deep setting. The yield was exactly three times that of that set shallow or just as they had grown in the bed. This would be an important difference where one was setting plants by the thousand, as some gardeners and farmers do. In growing the small, early cabbages which are grown in the South they usually set them about two feet apart each way, which would allow more than 10,000 plants to the acre, and this difference between shallow and deep setting, if carried out on 10,000 plants, would result in a crop of 40,800 on the deep-set plants, and 13,600 on those set shallow.—New York Farmer. Curing Clover Hay. To secure the best results in clover hay making the clover should be cut while it is still in bloom. If the cutting is delayed until the heads have commenced to turn brown there will be less nutrient in the cured clover and there will be great loss of leaves, which will shatter in the necessary handling because the plant is too ripe. When the heads have commenced to turn brown seed formation has commenced, and at this stage the clover has lost its greatest value for haymaking. As soon as the clover blooms it is in its prime for making fine, nutritious hay. Cut at this stage, there will be less of the characteristic dust, which is objectionable in clover hay. Proper handling of clover after it is cut is important also in its effect upon its quality. The cutting should be commenced as early as possible after the dew has dried off. Follow the mower with a tedder or forks to spread it from the swath. Commence to rake up into winrows in time to have the day's cutting all raked up before sundown. The next morning put the winrows in small cocks. Do not be worried if it seems too green to cock up if it the cocks are not made too large it will cure and be of better quality than if it was left longer in the winrows. The sun not only cures clover hay, but, if left too long exposed to it, destroys it, making it the color of dirty straw. When the main curing is thus done in the haycocks all the clover cut, except that exposed to the direct rays of the sun, will be of that greenish color that so plainly indicates its valuable qualities as first class hay. Many of the most extensive clover haymakers, those who cure clover for feeding stock on their own farms, are following the haycock plan of curing. Some farmers haul their clover hay to the mow when it is looking, according to the old-time ideas, pretty green. They spread layers of dry straw in the mow and cover with six or eight feet of clover hay. The hay is put in as loose as possible—not tramped. By this plan considerable curing in the barn takes place. A wisp of the hay is taken and twisted tightly, and if there is no juice in it it is considered cured enough to put away, when the straw layer plan is followed. In the haycock curing plan the aim should be to make the piles as loose and fluffy as possible, for the air is as much a curing agent as the sun. If some clover hay is cured in the shade entirely the difference in both color and quality, in comparison with sun cured, will be a very interesting object lesson. Orchard and Garden. The small whitish insects which suck the life out of rose leaves are rose hoppers, which are frequently found on the lower side of the leaves. It is said that if attended to before they are fully developed they can be easily destroyed by dusting the infested plants with slug shot. When fully grown they are very persistent, and several applications have to be made in order to kill them, and even then absolute riddance is doubtful. Aphides propagate so quickly, and in numbers so marvelously great, it requires close attention to keep plants moderately free from them. The secret is to begin at first sight, of them, or perhaps before they arrive, for there are very few plants that are not attacked before the season advances very far.—Meehan's Monthly. A Virginia writer in the Practical Farmer tells how to kill caterpillars: I have a way that is a success. Take a pole, any desired length, and bore a small hole in one end, about a quarter of an inch, and split the pole. Slip a ring on the pole that will slide easy. Put a fire cracker in the end of the pole and slip up the ring to tighten it. Light the fuse and stick it in the caterpillar's nest and it will do the work. The early garden crops should be used and gotten out of the way as soon as possible, in order to plant something else. When a garden plot has been heavily manured it is frequently the case that the second crop is more benefited than the first, because the manure has become more soluble and in better condition for the plants. By putting in another crop as soon as the first one is removed the capacity of the garden is increased, and a very large amount of produce can be taken from a small plot from spring to the appearance of frost in the fall. Not only can peas follow on the same land, but the plot will be ready for string beans and late cabbage after the early crops, and several crops of radishes can be grown. Late cucumbers for pickling, can go in as late as July, while early turnips, kale and lettuce will soon be out of the way of squash, egg plants and even tomatoes. Old strawberry beds will bear a crop and can then be turned under for late cabbage. The kind of soil and its exposure will have some effect on the earliness of crops, but a garden lot should be made to produce at least two crops in a year.—Philadelphia Record. Some Curious Things About the Life and Habits of the Little "Varmint." In the department of "Nature and Science" in the St. Nicholas, we find this account, by William J. Long, of the doings of a muskrat: If you know where there is a colony of muskrats—and if you don't know you can easily find out; any farmer or hunter will show you their village of grass houses by the river—you can have no end of enjoyment by going there at twilight and calling them out. Squeak like a mouse, only louder, and if there is a pointed nose in sight, making a great letter V in the water, it turns instantly toward you. And if the place is all still, you have only to die and squeak a few times, when two or three muskrats will come out to see what the matter is, or what young muskrat has got into trouble. If you go often and watch, you may see a good many curious things; see "Mushquash" (that's his Indian name) digging a canal, or building his house, or cutting wood, or catching a trout, or cracking a fresh-water clam, or rolling a duck's egg on the edge, so as not to break it, to his little ones in the den far below. And if you like bananas, you may sometimes smack your lips at seeing him eat his bar in his own way. This is how he does it. First, he goes to the rushes, diving down, bites off the biggest one close to the bottom, so as to save the soft, white part that grows under water. Then he tows it to his favorite eating place. This is sometimes the top of a bog, sometimes a flat rock on the shore, sometimes a stranded log; but, wherever it is, he likes to eat in that one place, and always goes there when he is not too far away, or too hungry to wait. Crawling out to his table, he cuts off a piece of the stump of his rush, and sits up straight, holding it in his fore paws. Then he peels it carefully, pulling off strip after strip of the outer husk with his teeth, till only the soft, white luscious pith remains. This he devours greedily, holding it in his paws and biting the end off and biting it off again, until there isn't any end left—exactly as a schoolboy eats a banana. Then he cuts off a second piece, if the rush is a big one, or swims and gets another, which he treats in the same way. And if you are a boy watching him, your mouth begins to "water," and you go and eat a rush for yourself, and eat it as Musquash did. If you are hungry it is not very bad. DETAILS OF COUNTERFIT The New Spurious $20 Silver Certificate a Dangerous One. Treasury officials say the new $20 counterfeit silver certificate is the most dangerous bill received since the celebrated $100 "Monroe head" silver certificate, the character of which the experts in the Treasury Department were for a long time unable to determine. The note is printed from engraved plates and the work upon the face and back is of a high order of excellence. It is a trifle shorter than the genuine; the width is the same as the genuine. The most noticeable defects in the note are in the portrait of Hamilton; the pose, instead of being round on the end, is brought to a sharp point; the chin, instead of being double, as in the genuine, is square; the head, from the back of the ear to the top of the nose, on the line of the ear, is a fraction of an inch wider than the genuine, the work on the coat gives a flat effect and merges into the background in the lower part of the portrait. In the border the small figures "20" are omitted between the "X.X." In the octagonal ornament under the word "Washington," center face of note, the detail is so blurred that the little eight-pointed star forming the center of the ornament does not stand out in relief as in the genuine. The finishing straight stem of the "A" in "bearer," right face of note, is a sharp oblique line at its top, whereas in the genuine the line is curved. In the left panel, back of note, the comma after "it," where the words "Impression of it" occur, has been omitted, as has also the dot over the "i" in "printed" in the next line below. The note is printed on paper of a very deceptive character and has the distributed fiber—Washington cor. Baltimore Sun. A Particular Job "I hear they're going to move the mint." "So they are. What about it?" "Nothing, only I suppose the operation is what you might call transplanting the root of all evil."—Philladglphia Bulletin. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY AT INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.

SOME "anti-imperflist" is prepared to prove that the China trouble is a deep Iaid administration plot to strengthen the hold upon the Phillipines. THE CONVENTION We call the attention of the conservative voter to the work of the Republican Convention just ended in Philadelphia. From the sounding of the gavel which brought the convention to order until the nomination of the vice president and adjournment perfect harmony prevailed. The opening speech by Senator Wolcott, the temporary chairman of the convention, was an able review of the issues of the hour, bristling with facts tersely told and will prove a valuable reference during the coming campaign. The platform adopted is in every respect a strong one. The declaration in favor of maintaining an honest dollar commends itself to the thoughtful voters of both parties who helped roll up the majority for McKinley in '96. The Democratic party was roundly scored for its free silver folly and challenged to stand by its position taken in the Chicago platform. Our position and duty in our newly acquired territory was wisely and clearly defined. Particularly interesting to the colored voter is the plank denouncing the Democratic disfranchisement scheme in the Southern states. Regarding this curtailment of the black man's constitutional rights the platform declares: It was the plain purpose of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution to prevent discrimination on account of race or color in regulating the elective franchise. Devices of state governments, whether by statutory or constitutional amendments, are revolutionary and should be condemned The re-nomination of President McKinley was a foregone conclusion. In fact, it could not have have been otherwise. His wise and patriotic administration of the nation's affairs under the most trying conditions make him the logical candidate, and he was unanimously chosen the standard bearer of his party. The convention is to be congratulated upon its choice for second place on the ticket. Gov. Roosevelt's brilliant record as a soldier and statesman easily place him in the front rank, and the enthusiasm which he brought to the convention resulting in his unanimous nomination attests his popularity with his party. All things considered the convention has done remarkably well. With the nomination of McKinley and Roosevelt and the sound platform on which they stand the Republican party will go before the people next November with every assurance of success. WHILE the Southern end of the Democratic party is doing every thing in its power to disfranchise the Negro the Northern end smilingly asks for his ballot. BENJAMIN THORTNON BENJAMIN THORNTON In the death of Benjamin Thornton the colored people of Indianapolis have lost a man whose place will not be easily filled. But few men in any communited are permitted to enjoy the universal esteem in which Mr. Thornton was held—a fitting reward for his life long integrity. It is gratifying to reflect that his success in life was dure to his own individual efforts, aided by that indomitable energy which has been characteristic of his career. When it is remembered that this man, who was once a slave, unaided acquired an education and by sheer force of character pushed his way to the front. we may form a better conception of what he has accomplished, He was, an intense race man, and in his stand for the rights of his people his actions often bordered upon rashness. It was in the capacity of a police officer that Mr. Thornton's character was brought out most forcibly. He was the most celebrated member of the detective force, and long record of twenty-five years as an officer is unsullied. Some of the most important captures of the Indianapolis department are to his credit, and but for the prejudice of color he would have long since graced the head of the department. Mr. Thornton was prominent in the affairs of secret societies, where his work was characterized by the same push and straightforwardness which has always marked his conduct. His life is a forcible illustration of the possibilities of the race, and shows what we are capable of even under the most adverse conditions. A bright light has gone out.

It is made up to attract people that think. Is not neutral or colorless, constantly trimming in an endeavor to please both sides, but it is independent in the best sense of the word. It is pronounced opinions and is fearless in expressing them, but it is always fair to its opponents. Matters of national or vital public interest get more space in THE TRIBUNE than in any other paper in the West. For these reasons it is the newspaper you should read during the forthcoming political campaign. THE TRIBUNE'S financial columns never mislead the public. Its facilities for gathering news, both local and foreign, are far superior to those of any other newspaper. It presents the news in fair a way as possible, and lets its readers form their opinions. While it publishes the most comprehensive articles on all news features, if you are busy the "Summary of the DAILY TRIBUNE" published daily on the first page gives you briefly all the news of the day within one column. Its sporting news is always the best, and its Sunday Pink Sporting Section is better than any sporting paper in the country. It is the "cleanest" daily printed in the West. napolis the Order of Rail- cal trainmen, and tremendous force recking train ```markdown ``` OUR CORRESPONDENTS. Charlestown Notes.

ONE WHO LISTENS WITH PATIENCE AND SYMPATHY. Jesus, the Man of Sorrow. Will Hear th Troubles and Woes of the Humblest Hellever-Dr. Talmage's Dr. T al m a g e, who has finished his tour in England and Scotland, is now on his way to Norway and Russia. In the following discourse, which he has sent for this week, he gives a prescription for all anxiety and worriment and illustrates the divine sympathy for all who are in Dr. T. A. m a g e, who has finished his tour in England and Scotland, is now on his way to Norway and Russia. In the following discourse, which he has sent for this week, he gives a prescription for all anxiety and worriment and illustrates the divine sympathy for all who are in any kind of struggle. The text is Matthew xiv, 12. "And his disciples went and told Jesus." An outrageous assassination had just taken place. To appease a revengeful woman King Herod ordered the death of that noble, self-sacrificing prophet, John the Baptist. The group of the disciples were thrown into grief and dismay. They felt themselves utterly defenseless. There was no authority to which they could appeal, and yet grief must always find expression. If there be no human ear to hear it then the agonized soul will cry it aloud to the winds and the woods and the waters. But there was an ear that was willing to listen. There is a tender pathos and at the same time a most admirable picture in the words of my text, "They went and told Jesus." In the first place I commend the behavior of these disciples to all burdened souls who are unpardoned. There comes a time, in almost every man's history when he feels from some source that he has an erring nature. The thought may not have such heft as to fell him. It may be only like the flash in an evening cloud just after a very hot summer. One man to get rid of that impression will go to prayer, another will stimulate himself by ardent spirits, and another man will dive deeper in secularities. But sometimes a man can not get rid of these impressions. The fact is, when a man finds out that his eternity is poised upon a perfect uncertainty and that the next moment his foot may slip, he must do something violent to make himself forget where he stands or else fly for refuge. Some of you crouch under a yoke, and you bite the dust when this moment you might rise up a crowned conqueror. Driven and perplexed as you have been by sin, go and tell Jesus. To relax the grip of death from your soul and plant your unshackled feet upon the golden throne Christ let the tortures of the bloody mount transix him. With the beam of his own cross he will break down the door of your dungeon. From the thorns of his own crown he will pick enough gems to make your brow blaze with eternal victory. In every tear on his wet cheek, in every gash of his side, in every long, blackening mark of laceration from shoulder to shoulder, in the grave shattering, heaven storming death groan I hear him say, "He that cometh unto me I will in nowise cast out." Again, I commend the behavior of the disciples to all who are tempted. I have heard men in midlife say they had never been led into temptation. If you have not felt temptation, it is because you have not tried to do right. A man hopped and handcuffed, as long as he lies quietly, does not test the power of the chain, but when he rises up and with determination resolves to snap the handcuff or break the hoppie then he finds the power of the iron. And there are men who have been for ten and twenty and thirty years bound hand and foot by evil habits who have never felt the power of the chain because they have never tried to break it. It is very easy to go on down with the stream and with the wind lying on your oars, but just turn around and try to go against the wind and the tide, and you will find it is a different matter. As long as we go down the current of our evil habit we seem to get along quite smoothly, but if after awhile we turn around and head the other way, toward Christ and pardon and heaven, oh, then how we have to lay to the oars! You will have your temptation. You have one kind, you another, you another, not one person escaping. It is all folly for you to say to some one, "I could not be tempted as you are." The lion thinks it is so strange that the fish should be caught with a hook; the fish thinks it is so strange that the lion should be caught with a trap. You see some man with a cold, phlegmatic temperament, and you say, "I suppose that man has not any temptation." Yes, as much as you have. In his phlegmatic nature he has a temptation to indulence and censoriousness and over eating and drinking, a temptation to ignore the great work of life, a temptation to lay down an obstacle in the way of all good enterprises. The temperament decides the styles of temptation; but, sanguine or lymphatic, you will have temptation. Satan has a grappling hook just fitted for your soul. A man never lives beyond the reach of temptation. You say when a man gets to be 70 or 80 he is safe from all saintatic assault. You are very much mistaken. A man at 85 years of age has as many temptations as a man at 25. They are only different styles of temptation. Ask the aged Christian whether he is never assaulted of the powers of darkness. If you think you have conquered the power of temptation, you are very much mistaken. Again, I commend the behavior of the disciples to all those who are abused and to the slandered and persecuted. When Herod put John to death the disciples knew that their own heads were not safe. And do you know that every John has a Herod? There are persons in life who do not wish you very well. Your misfortunes are honeycombs to them. Through their teeth they hiss at you, misinterpret your motives and would be glad to see you upset. No man gets through life without having a pummeling. Some slander comes after you horned and husked and hoofed to gore and trample you, and what are you to do? I tell you plainly that all who serve Christ must suffer persecution. It is the worst sign in the world for you to be able to say, "I have not an enemy in the world." A woe is pronounced in the Bible against the one of whom everybody speaks well. If you are at peace with all the world and everybody likes you and approves your work, it is because you are an idler in the Lord's vineyard and are not doing your duty. Again, I commend the behavior of the disciples to all the bereaved. How many in garb of mourning! How many emblems of sorrow you behold everywhere! God has his own way of taking apart a family. We must get out of the way for coming generations. We must get off the stage that others may come on, and for this reason there is a long procession reaching down all the time into the valley of shadows. This emigration from time into eternity is so vast an enterprise that we can not understand it. Every hour we hear the clang of the sepulchral gate. The sod must be broken. The ground must be plowed for resurrection harvest. must press our eyelids. "It is appointed unto all men once to die." Is there any earthly solace? None. We come to the obsequies, we sit with the grief stricken, we talk pathetically to their soul, but soon the obsequies have passed, the carriages have left us at the door, the friends who staid for a few days are gone, and the heart sits in desolation listening for the little feet that will never again patter through the hall or looking for the entrance of those who will never come again, sighing into the darkness, ever and anon coming across some book or garment or little shoe or picture that arouses former association, almost killing the heart; long days and nights of suffering that wear out the spirit and expunge the bright lines of life and give haggardness to the face and draw the flesh tight down over the cheek bone and draw dark lines under the sunken eye, and the hand is tremulous, and the voice is husky and uncertain, and the grief is wearing, grinding, accumulating, exhausting. Now, what are such to do? Are they merely to look up into a brazen and unpitying sky? Are they to walk a blasted heath unfed of stream, un sheltered by overarching trees? Has God turned us out on the barren common to die? Oh, no, no, no! He has not. He comes with sympathy and kindness and love. He understands all our grief. He sees the height and the depth and the length and the breadth of it. He is the only one that can fully sympathize. Go and tell Jesus. Often when we were in trouble we sent for our friends, but they were far away. They could not get to us. We wrote to them, "Come right away," or telegraphed, "Take the next train." They came at last, yet were a great while in coming, or perhaps were too late. But Christ is always near—before you, behind you, within you. No mother ever threw her arms around her child with such warmth and ecstasy of affection as Christ has shown toward you. Close at hand, nearer than the staff upon which you lean, nearer than the cup you put to your lip, nearer than the handkerchief with which you wipe away your tears, I preach him an ever present, all sympathizing, compassionate Jesus. How can you stay away one moment from him with your griefs? Go now. Go and tell Jesus. It is often that our friends have no power to relieve us. They would very much like to do it, but they can not disentangle our finances, they can not cure our sickness and raise our dead, but glory be to God that he to whom the disciples went has all power in heaven and on earth, and at our call he will balk our calamities and at just the right time, in the presence of an applauding earth and a resounding heaven, will raise our dead. He is mightier than Herod. He is switer than the storm. He is grander than the sea. He is vaster than eternity. And every sword of God's omnipotence will leap from its scabbard and all the resources of infinity be exhausted rather than that God's child shall not be delivered when he cries to him for rescue. A little child went with her father, a sea captain, to sea, and when the first storm came the little child was very much frightened and in the night rushed out of the cabin and said, "Where is father, where is father?" Then they told her, "Father is on deck guiding the vessel and watching the storm." The little child immediately returned to her berth and said, "It's all right, for father's on deck." O ye who are tossed and driven in this world, up by the mountains and down by the valleys and at your wits' ends, I want you to know the Lord God is guiding the ship. Your Father is on deck. He will bring you through the darkness into the harbor. Trust in the Lord. Go and tell Jesus. If you go to him for pardon and sympathy, all is well. Everything will brighten up, and joy will come to the heart, and sorrow will depart, your sins will be forgiven, and your foot will touch the upward path, and the shining messengers that report above what is done here will tell it until the great arches of God resound with the glad tidings if now with contrition and full trustfulness of soul you will only go and tell Jesus. But I am oppressed as I think of those who may not take this counsel and may remain unblessed. I can not help asking what will be the destiny of these people. Xerxes looked off on his army. There were 2,000,000, perhaps the finest army ever marshaled. Xerxes rode along the lines, reviewed them, came back, stood on some high point, looked off upon the 2,000,000 men and burst into tears. At that moment, when every one supposed he would be in the greatest exultation, he broke down in grief. They asked him why he wept. "Ah," he said, "I weep at the thought that so soon all this host THE RECORDER, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA will be dead." So I think of these vast populations of immortal men and women and realize the fact that soon the places which know them now will know them no more, and they will be gone—whither, whither? There is $p$ stirring idea which the poet put very peculiar verse when he said: "This is not for men to trifle; it is." Tis not for man to trifle; life is brief, And sin is here. Our sins are here. Our age is but the railing of a leaf, A dropping tear. Not many lives, but only one have we— One, only one; How sacred should that one life ever be— Composer of Dixie In connection with Julia Marlowe's play of "Barbara Frietche," in which the strains of "Dixie" are much in evidence, it was suggested. In a recent number of the Critic that a benefit be given to the composer, Daniel Emmett, who was said to be "living in extreme poverty sowhere in the West." This latter statement surprised Mr. T. Griffith Ames, of Mount Vernon, Ohio, as "the venable composer of the popular air is living comfortably in that city." He writes to the Critic that "Uncle Dan," though poor, "is neither in extreme poverty nor starving, and that though 85 years old and crippled with rheumatism, he is neither decrepit nor at the point of death." He adds the following interesting particulars about Emmett and "Dixie": "Daniel D. Emmett was born in 1814 of Southern parents, though he himself is a native of Mount Vernon, Ohio. His father came from Staunton, Va., while his mother, curious to relate in this connection, was born and reared in Fredericktown (then Fredericktown), Md., the home of the immortal Barbara Frietche. Emmett lived with his parents in Mount Vernon until he was 18, learning with an artual aptitude to play many musical instruments then in vogue. With the consent of his parents in 1832 he at last left home and started out into the left world with a traveling circus. Whither these circus wanderingies led him I do not know, but it was found himself in New York City, engaged with the then celebrated Bryant Walkstrels. His particular engagement was to compose and sing negro walk-rounds and to act as musician when occasion required. One Saturday night, after a performance that had not been so successful as the managers had wished, Mr. Jerrie Bryant overtook Emmett on his way home and said to him: "Uncle Dan, we've got to have something new, and we've got to have it in a hurry. I want you to compose a new walk-round of the hurrah order; one that will have a catchy chorus and lively music; one that the bands will play and the boys will whistle and sing through the streets. Make it popular." The next day, Sunday, being wet and disagreeable, Emmett stayed indoors and devoted himself to his task, with the remarkable result that on Monday he was able to and sing before Mr. Bryant and the company our national song as it is now sung throughout the union—"Way Down South in Dixie's Land." The song was immensely popular from the beginning and was immediately taken up by all traveling minstrels in the North and sung by them for at least 18 months before the Southerners ever heard of it. The them, and thus the South got hold of it, changed "Uncle Dan's" words and adopted it." It is not unlikely that Mr. Emmett may have received the suggestion for his music from his father,fi who aws a Southerner by birth. Interesting Owl Story. Mr. Steve Ritchie, of Baltown, tells the Observer an interesting story. For years a family of owls of the large horned species have made their home in a big hollow tree, near the Ritchie residence. Recently one of Mr. Ritchie's sons succeeded in capturing one of the young owls. He placed the bird in a large cage, and it apparently enjoyed its captivity. Last week young Ritchie concluded to capture one of the old owls, and with this end in view he attached a steel trap to the cage containing the young bird and placed the outfit at the base of the old hollow tree. When he went to investigate the next morning he found that one of the old birds had been caught by the foot in the steel trap. He also discovered that it had, in some manner, succeeded in getting a rabbit's head into the cage for food for its offspring. The old owl is an immense specimen, and has horns nearly five inches long. During the past week young Ritchie succeeded in capturing the male owl. The latter visited the cage containing the young owl and after depositing a large portion of o rattlesnake for its food proceeded to get caught in the steel trap. He is very large, and is a pompous old fellow. At intervals he blows himself up and struts like a turkey gobbler—Bardstown (Ky.) Observer. Funeral on the Installment Plan. A funeral on the installment plan is one of the latest luxuries offered citizens of Chicago. A policy will cost just $50, and will secure a $75 funeral whenever any one of the family so endowed requires post mortem offices. The policy will be made out with the names of the entire family or which a member is the purchaser, and any one of the appointed may enjoy the pleasure of a policy funeral. For people wishing to commit suicide yet fearing the degradation of the potter's field, the pollees will be of special aid. the purchaser will be assured a proper and a minister at the grave. In special cases there will be flowers, although the undertaken draws the line at set pieces. "Gates Ajar" and floral pillows must be furnished by the friends of the deceased. The plan of the burial association provides that the purchaser of a policy pay $1 down and $1 a month until he has paid $50 into the association. He then is granted a paid-up policy, which will always be good. Not alone his own name, but that of every member of his family will appear on the face of the policy, and for any such person the policy may be used. After the first funeral the policy is withdrawn, and if the family wishes further protection a new policy must be secured. The Greatest of Spring Medicines The 87 bottles of HOYT'S POISONED BLOOD CURE sold in March gave such universal satire, faction that Mr. Morrison has already SOLD IN APRIL 94 BOTTLES OF THIS MEDICINE, and only SEVEN OF ALL OTHERS COMBINED, while H. C. Raffensperger, the druggist right across the street, SELLS FROM THREE TO SIX BOTTLES IN AN EVENING: and J. P. Fritz, two squares south, SELLS AS MANY AS TEN BOTTLES IN A DAY REPUTATION AT HOME. Eddie, the seven-year old son of Mrs. H. Armstead, 605 Cincinnati street, was vaccinated February 99 and afterwards broke out in a mass of running sores, and remained so while under the local physician's treatment. His suffering was intense, and the vaccinated mark failed to heal. He started taking HOYT'S POISONED BLOOD CURE about August 15 and immediately grew healthier and stronger. To this medicine alone little Eddie Armstead owes his life. "I suffered untold agony with female weakness, and physicians said an operation would have to be performed. I can now do six washings a week after using HOYT'S POI-ONED BLOOD CURE. I belong to Ames' church and many ladies' societies, and never miss an opportunity to recommend this valuable medicine," Mrs. Sheets, 914 Charles street. A clean sweep of all impurities follows the use of . . . ALL DRUGGISTS I have used Ripas Tatakes with so much satisfaction that I can cheerfully recommend them. Have been troubled for about three years with what I call a week of bad teeth. Was told by different physicians that it was caused by bad teeth, of which I had several. I had the teeth extracted, but the attack was so severe that I had to wear Ripas Tatakes in all the papers but bad no faith in them, but about six weeks since a friend induced me to try them. Have taken two of the teeth, but no recurrence of the attacks. Have never given a testimonial for anything before, but the great amount of good which I believe has been done me by the doctors, induces me to have many testimonials you doubtless have in your possession now.

An amusing story is being told in Lincoln's Inn of an old woman who appeared a few days ago before Mr. William Barber, Q. C., the newly appointed Judge of the Derby County Court. An impecunious old man, whom she had been suing for arrears of rent (he had lodged in her humble home), informed the Judge that he would only be able to pay off the debt by very small installments. "What terms are you prepared to accept?" Mr. Barber asked. The old woman was deaf, and did not catch his Honor's question. "What will you take?" shouted the usher standing by her side. A bright smile illuminated her features as she replied, "Well, I've been in this 'ere court many a time afore, but you," pointing to Mr. Barber, "is the very first Judge that ever asked me what I'll take. A little gin hot, if you please." It was some time before the Judge, who has long been a teetotaler, recovered from his surprise.—London Tit-Bits.

The Boxers began to attract some foreign attention in December last, though they had been active before. It was soon evident that they are not merely Chinese fanatics inspired by hatred of the "white devils" who are coming in increasing numbers to their country, but that they are first and foremost of a great band of thieves who pretend to make war upon the foreigner for religious reasons, though their main object is loot. They have devastated about 40,000 square miles in Western Shantung and the neighboring parts of Chihil in about five months. Hundreds of Protestant Christians have suffered, but the Roman Catholic converts have been the chief victims. The Boxers have spared the lives and property of nearly all Christians who could pay them black-mail. Comparatively few persons have been killed except in the fights between the Chinese soldiery and the marauders, but schools and chapels by the dozen and houses by the hundred have been looted and destroyed. Attention was first widely called to these lawless proceedings in December last when the Boxers murdered the Rev. Sydney Brooks, a Church of England missionary, under the most atrocious circumstances. He had been visiting his sister and was returning to his own mission about 40 miles away when the murderers seized him. They stripped him of all his clothing except a loin cloth, pierced a hole through his nose and inserted a cord, by which they led him along the road while the mob maltreated him. When they hiked for the noonday meal he was so carelessly guarded that he managed to get away and outfooted the fleetest a of his pursuers. As soon as possible a party of horsemen was sent after him and in two or three hours they found their victim half dead behind a bowler. They then stabbed him to death and cut off his head and exhibited it as a trophy of their prowess. The Boxers had then been on the warpaint since October. If it had not been for the treachery of Yu Hsien, the Governor of Shantung, it is likely that the revolt would have been suppressed before the murder of Mr. Brooks occurred. Warning came to Yu Hsien from Peking that the Boxers contemplated the wholesale destruction of the Christians, and he was ordered to repress them with a heavy hand. Under this compulsion the Governor sent out a party of soldiers who met the Boxers in a pitched fight, killing over 100 of them and putting the rest to rest. Yu Hsien was terribly enraged when he heard of this literal obedience of orders. He degraded the three officers in command and reported to Peking that they had stupidly attacked and struck down common village people and country merchants. He knew that this was false, and the Boxers, seeing that the Governor was on their side, redoubled their destructive efforts. By this action Yp Hsien paralyzed the efforts of every official within the area of disturbance. Most of the centers of the Catholic missions were completely devastated in a few weeks. The Peking authorities removed the disobedient Governor, but before his successor arrived at the scene of disturbance the mischief had been done. Early in February the Empress Dowager issued a proclamation saying that this anti-Christian movement had arisen from the false sentiment of treating the missionaries as enemies, although they were permitted to teach the Christian religion under the treaties with foreign nations. Soldiers, merchants and the people were informed that they must not maltreat Christians and the authorities were commanded to suppress all agitation against the missionaries and their converts. Since this proclamation was issued the disorders have diminished, but are not yet entirely suppressed. The work carried on by the missions has been wholly suspended, although Brooks is the only white man whose murder has been reported. There is no doubt that the reactionary policy of the Empress Dowager has encouraged this revolt against authority and this flagrant violation of treaty provisions. These riots have been the most serious and extensive attacks upon foreigners in China that have occurred in years. They have taken place, not in the isolated region like Hunan, but mostly in a district only a few days' travel from the seaboard. It remains to be said that the region infested by the Society of the Great Sword is one wherein the Germans enjoy special privileges under their government's treaty with China.—New York Sun. Topsyturvyopia. In hunting for a name for a strange new malady recently discovered in California the doctors coined the word "topsyturvyopia." The case baffles explanation. Mary Terry, a seven-year-old daughter of a Portuguese rancher in the southern part of the State, was born with some defect of the optical structure which causes her to see everything reversed, precisely as mortals with normal vision see things in a mirror. Little attention was paid to her peculiarity until she went to school. Though marvelously bright mentally, she could not make much progress and her teacher was in despair. She learned to read with reasonable case, but when it came to writing the trouble became most prominent. She persisted in writing all the characters not only hind foremost but upside down. For a long time the teacher could make nothing out of her scribbling, but by accident she looked through the sheet of paper on which Mary had been writing, and then the letters appeared in proper order and legible. Fruitless efforts have been made to correct her strange defect and the child continues to see the world topsy-turvy. The Language of Finance.
