This 'Thanksgiving day' The president has wilied Of possum, tater and rooster You and I must be filled. Every Thanksgiving day brought the Pettibones together under the old home roof. It was the great day of the year for them, and nothing could bring keener disappointment to young or old than to be prevented from celebrating it under the old time honored custom, which they had been brought up to regard quite as much in the light of duty as a pleasure. Aunt Cindy, busy over the concoction of the "punkin" pies for which she was famous throughout all Lilbury "and the region roundabout," was thinking of dead and gone Thanksgiving. As she beat a bowl of eggs into golden froth her thoughts went back to that Thanksgiving day ten years ago when a shadow fell upon her life—a shadow that had never lifted. True, but few eyes saw it nowadays, but it was in her heart yet, and all the sunshine of her quiet, peaceful life could not dispel it. "I wonder what has become of him?" she said to herself as she sifted sugar crystals into the foaming mass. "Perhaps he's dead. Who knows? Ten years is a long time, and a great many things may happen in them." If a tear or two fell into the bowl, I do not think the pies were any the worse for them. Perhaps they gave them a better flavor. "He" was Robert Grant, and Robert Grant had been her lover long ago. Everybody had said "it was going to be a match" between them, and in this case "everybody" had good reasons for thinking so, for, though no formal engagement had ever existed between them, there had been a tacit understanding of the heart which it is never necessary to put into words to make one's meaning and intention plain. But on that Thanksgiving day ten years ago there had arisen some misunderstanding which had parted them. Just what it was about Lucinda could not tell now as she thought about it. "We were both so foolish, so unreasonable," she had often told herself. "To think of letting two lives be parted by something so insignificant that neither fully understood what it was." "Dear me!" exclaimed Martha Pettibone, Lucinda's sister-in-law, as she dropped into a comfortable rocking chair in one corner of the kitchen. "I'm glad we've got about done with our work, ain't you, Lucinda? I'm allus real glad to have 'em come here, but one gets so nigh beat out with cookin an fussin that I'm allus glad that it don't happen more'n once a year. "Why, Cindy," suddenly, "where is your breastpain? I thought you had it on! You don't look natural without it" Lucinda put her hand to her collar. The brooch she always wore was gone. "I can't think what's become of it!" she said in great surprise. "I certainly had it on at breakfast time. I don't 50. THE BROOCH SEE ALWAYS WORE WAS GONE remember being out of the kitchen since. It must be somewhere about the room." A careful search was made, but the brooch was not to be found. Thanksgiving day dawned clear and beautiful, as all Thanksgiving day mornings ought, to be in keeping with the thoughts which come, or ought to come, at such a time. "Now, Cindy, you run right up an git ready to receive the company," said Martha after breakfast. "I'll see to all that needs doin down stairs." So Lucinda went up to her room and "got reaay." The dark wine colored casmere dress she donned was very becoming to her fair complexion, with soft trills of lace at throat and wrists. "I don't seem to grow old very fast in looks," she thought as she stood before the glass to give the last feminine touches to her toilet. "Thirty-four, Lucinda Pettibone! Do you realize that means half an ordinary lifetime?" Then she sighed, for a thought came into her mind of what life might have been if— Ah, these "ifs". "Hurry up, Aunt Cindy!" cried John junter from the stairs. "They're comin', cause I hear bells! Hooray!" Then there was a stampede of new boots down the hall. "Martin's folks is here," said Martha putting her head out of the kitchen. "Tell 'em I'm be in as soon as I've tended to the turkey." Lucinda went into the sitting room to receive the guests. The air was full of kindly greetings and good wishes as she shook hands with the newcomers. They seemed to have brought the very spirit of Thanksgiving with them. "Where's Martha?" asked Sister Sarah almost as soon as handshaking was over. "I want to see her about somethin the worst way. In the kitchen? Well, then, I'll go right in. You stay here an see to the children, Cindy, while I'm gone." "For the lan's sake!" cried Martha as Sarah appeared in the kitchen door. "How do you do, an how's all the folks?" "Quite well, thanky," responded Sarah, with proper politeness, which was instantly put aside as soon as the door was closed behind her and the two were alone. "Martha Pettibone, I've got some news for you. You can't guess who came to our house las' night?" "Elder Hogaboom," ventured Martha. "Elder Hogaboom, indeed!" exclaimed Sarah. "I knew you'd get way off. You'd never think of the right person. 'Twas Robert Grant!" "For goodness sake!" cried Martha. "Air you reely in earnest, Sary? It don't seem as if it could be so. Cindy an I was a-talkin about him yesterday an wonderin what had become of him." "Yes, 'tis so," answered Sarah, "an he's there now. We tried to coax him to come over with us, but he said he didn't know's 'twould be agreeable, but he'd like to the worst way. I jest know he was thinkin of Cindy all the time. Now, I want to know if you have any idea she'd care if he should come. I thought I'd ask you 'fore I said anything to her. Martin, he told John not to put the team out till he knows, an, if it would be agreeable, he's goin right back after Robert." "I reckon she'd be glad to have him come," said Martha. "Oh, Sary, mebbe it'll all turn out right yet. Who knows? He—he ain't married, is he?" "No, he ain't, an I don't b'lieve he ever will be if Cindy don't have him," answered Sarah. "He blames himself for what happened. He jest the same as told me so. Call her in an ask her if she's willin he should come." "Cindy, come in here a minit, won't you?" called Martha, in a flutter of delightful excitement. "Dear me, Sary, I feel's if somethin was goin to happen! Wouldn't it be jespendlid if they should make up?" "What's wanted?" asked Lucinda. "Cindy," said Martha as solemnly as if about to inform her of somebody's death. "somebody's come back." Lucinda started, and her cheeks grew pale. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came. "He's over to Martin's, and Sary wants to know if you'd find any fault with havin him come over to eat Thanksgiving dinner with us. It don't seem just right to let him spend such a day there alone, does it?" "Why shouldn't he come?" said Lucinda. But it hardly seemed to elucidate the women as if she spoke to them. Indeed it hardly seemed to her, as she stood there face to face with the fact that after many years her old lover had come back, as if she was not alone with that one thought. "Oh, I'm so glad!" cried Sarah. "I'll run right out an tell Martin." Lucinda ran up to her chamber to think it all over alone. As she shut the door she heard the sound of bells, and, looking out, she saw Martin driving swiftly up the hill road on his friendly errand. How the bells rang! He had come back! He was coming there! She would see him again, would hear his voice and feel his hand clasping hers as in the old days when they met each other after these long years of separation! As in the old days? Perhaps not. There might have been changes of which she knew nothing. But they could at least meet as friends, "Idenly a sense of all the sorrow "anished years had held seemed to force itself upon her as she had never comprehended it before, and she laid her head down on the window sill and cried. By and by she aroused herself. "This will not do," she said as she looked at herself in the glass. She almost stared at the face she saw there. It was not like the face she had seen there this morning. This face seemed almost radiant. The clock was striking 11 when John junior sang out that "Uncle Mart is SOUTH DISCUSSED The Rev. R. F. Hurley, Writes Concerning the Suffrage Question. Editor, The Recorder; I have been much interested in the vigorous utterances of your paper on the subject of "Suffrage in the South" and would beg space enough in which to submit a few thoughts upon the same subject. And to begin with, I feel safe in saying that most of us are agreed as to the following conclusions: Second, That this wrong is not of recent origin, but from the day the black man became a voter this outrage has been heaped upon him. True, in some of the states new methods have recently beed adopted, but the same thing is being done, only in another way. There is, therefore, no new question the adoption of Constitutional Amendments may furnish a better means of dealing with the subject since it removes the difficulty of getting at the perpetrators of the outrage. But the outrage remains unchanged. Third, The Northern states suffer no greater wrong than before. Hence I am not one of those who find new cause for alarm at the new forms old outrages assume. The nation has gone right on in the face of these outrages for years and years. Of course, I admit that there is some difference between the perpetration of a wrong without the form of law and the legalization of wrong by the enactment of law. But it makes but little difference to the victim whether shot guns or constitution amendments are the means used. A great wrong has been heaped upon the black man of the south and this is no news to the country. Of course with a large number of people in the north who believe that to have given the ballot to the black man was not on ly a mistake, but a great outrage upon the white pebble of the south, it is not to be wondered at that the nation has not had the courage to face the condition; but the time is not far distant when the situathn must be grasped. It is assumidg immense proportions. Indeed, it is becoming serious. It affects the black man immediately and (second) it involves a question of law and government. Now, any remedy proposed must have reference to these two facts; but with the black man the first is of immediate importance, but the most pressing Now the only remedy I have seen proposed that seems to have any considerable notice is the proposed reduction of the southern delegation in Congress. As a matter of course the black man would naturally take to this idea. Well, as a matter of simple justice to certain other states, I think it should be done, but as a remedy for the outrage perpetrated upon the black man, I am not ready to even favor it for the following reasons: First, It seems to me to fall short of its aim. Let us sup pose that the southern delegation is reduced, what effect will it have upon the disfranchised Negro in the south? Will it restore to him the ballot of which he is now deprived? I don't see how it will. The idea of some seem to be that the south will be frightened into removing the outrage. This looks to me like nonsense. This is not the wry to do things, and we all know that the south doesn't care that way. But let us suppose that this effect would follow, where would that leave us? Just where these these Constitutional Amendments found us, kept away from the polls by the aht gun and other means of intimidation. And then again it looks to me like a compromise of our citizen rights. What is the reasoning? Why simply that any state may reduce its voting population to any extent, provided we may reduce its representation in Congress. This is to legalize these un constitution enactments. Let the United States courts decide as to the constitutionality of these outrageous laws and then let "congress "enforce the Amendments to the Constitution by appropriate legislation," and put behind that legislation all the power of the government. This, nothing less, nothing more; will meet the case. —R. FRENCH HURLEV. The Zoo's Attractions.

The members of the Sub-Executive Committee of the Afro-American Council are hereby directed to meet in the parlors of the Southern Hotel, Washington, D. C., Friday, at 12 o'clock noon, December 28, 1900. As this will be the first meeting of the Sub-Executive Committee since the annual meeting in Indianapolis, in August last, it is of the greatest importance that all members should attend. The test case now pending in the matter, of the new constitution of of Louisiana is to be further considered in the light of what has been accomplished b/ the committee having the matter in charge during the past year. The question of the reduction of Southern representation in Congress and the Electoral College under the new apportionment, under the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment will also be thoroughly considered and a plan of action suggested. The question of a more thorough organization of the Council in all the States and Territories will also be discussed and plans to provote the work of organization outlined. By order of President. T.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL The Senior Berean Lesson for Sunday, December 2, 1900. THE RICH YOUNG RULER—MATHEW 19:16-26. 16. And behold, one came and said unto him, Good master, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life? 17. And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God; but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18. He said unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not beau false witness. 19. Honor thy father and thy mother; and Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 20. The young man saith unto him. All these things have I kept from my youth; what lack I yet? 21. Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and follow me. 22. But when the young man heard that saying he went away sorrowful for he had great possessions. 23. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily, I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24. And again I say unto you. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26. But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Jesus was still in Perea on his way to Jerusalem to be crucified, and was giving his last messages to the people. He had blessed little children, and was going from the house when the young man came running after him. 16. One came . . . unto him. A young man, rich, honored, religious in his feelings, a ruler of a synagogue. (1) He seems to have had from a worldly point of view an irreproachable moral character. (2) He was a capable inquirer. (3) He was courageous. Only a brave heart could have enabled one in a prominent position to so risk the opposition and reproaches of his associates. (4) He had high aspirations. He was not content with wealth and position and outward morality, but had set his heart on eternal life. (5) He was in earnest. But he also (6) was self-righteous, with the pride of virtue; and (7) set too high a value or worldly possessions. His heart was not right, and wrong or imperfect motives lay behind his outward goodness. 17. Why callest thou me good? Not a rebuke for calling him good, but an inquiry whether he looked upon him as a common teacher, usually called "good master," or as a divine teacher, good in the sense that God is good. Keep the commandments. For all in heaven, who have eternal life, naturally keep the commandments, which are summed up in one word, "love." 20. What lack I yet? He lacked one thing, but it was the main thing—that loving trust which consecrated all to God, which is the soul of all good works. 21. If thou wilt be perfect. Complete, lacking nothing of eternal life. Sell that thou hast. Use your property for God; give it all to him. He does not ask us to give all to the poor, as he did this man; for he let John retain his home. But whatever he does ask us to do with it we are to do. Not one dollar is to be kept aside from his will. Follow me. Note his possible future as a disciple, compared with his obscure future as a nameless rich man. 23. Hardly. With difficulty. (1) Because they are apt to trust in them (2) to be self-reliant; (3) to be joined in business with irreligious men; (4) often they must change their business, or do it in a different way, or return ill-gotten gains. 26. With men this is impossible. On worldly principles, by worldly motives, by the power of man it can not be done. SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS Introductory—To what part of Jesus' life does this lesson belong? What beautiful act had Jesus just been doing? (Matt. 19:13-15.) I. The Young Ruler's Question Concerning Eternal Life (v. 16). What fact can you tell concerning this young man? (v. 22; Luke 18:18, 21). What good traits do you find in his character? Why did he come running? What is eternal life? How is seeking earnestly after eternal life a proof of wisdom? II. Jesus Answers the Question (vs. 17-19).—Read v. 17 in the Revised Version. To whom did Jesus point him as the sum of all good? What was Jesus' answer to the question? Is it necessary to have the spirit that keeps the commandments in order to have eternal life? (Rev. 21:27; 2 Cor. 4:1; 2 Gal. 5:22, 23.) HI. The Young Man Imagines that He Has Kept the Commandments (v. 20).—What was the ruler's reply? Had he really kept the commandments? Does his question show that he felt the reed of something more? Can any one he saved by the commandments alone? (Gal. 3:11). How did Jesus feel toward this young man? (Mark 10:21). Why did he love him? IV. What Was Still Lacking (v. 21).—What did the young man lack? What is the one necessary thing to salvation? (Mark 16:16; John 1:12; 3:5; 6:40; Jas. 2:14, 18). Why? What did Jesus tell this man to do? Was this easier than keeping the commandments perfectly? V. The Great Refusal (v. 22).—What course did the young man pursue? What was the reason for his refusal? What great blessing did he reject? What does this instruction of Jesus mean for us? (Rom. 12:1; Luke 16:9-14; 1 Tim. 6:17-19). Can we be Christians and not commit all we have to Jesus and seek to all according to his will? What is it to follow Jesus? What are some of the great hindrances in the way? CURIOUS INFORMATION Odd and Interesting Facts Gathered From Many Sources. The old custom in the English Parliament of the members wearing their hats had its origin in the year 1199, during the reign of King John. Philip II., of France, agreed to settle the difficulty about the Duchy of Normandy by single combat. John, the Earl of Ulster, was chosen as the English champion, but as soon as he appeared upon the field the other man fled. The king asked the earl what his reward should be, and he replied that he desired not riches or lands, but only the privilege of remaining covered "in the presence of your majesty and all other sovereigns of this realm," and since that time the members of Parliament while in session never remove their hats. Ladies will be interested to know that the thimble is not after all a Dutch invention, but has been found at Herculaneum. The word meant originally "thumb-bell," being worn formerly on the thumb as sailors now wear if. The Germans call it "finger-hat." It takes twenty men, besides a great amount of costly machinery, to make a silver thimble. Thimbles were first made in Holland in 1695 by John Softing. "Over Edom will I cast out my shoe," says the Psalmist, the throwing of a shoe being the symbol of new ownership, a testimony in Israel of possession. In Anglo-Saxon times the father delivered the bride's shoe to the bridegroom, who touched her with it to show his authority. The custom of throwing an old shoe after the bride in England and Scotland signified that the parents gave up all right of dominion over the daughter. Annie Laurie, about whom so much has been sung, was a real maiden, who was born in Dumfrieshire, Scotland, in 1682, and was quite as beautiful as the poet would have one believe. Mr. Douglass Finland, who composed the song, "Bonnie Annie Laurie," was very much in love with her, but she married another man, one Alexander Furguson, who probably did not write songs about her. The first steam vessel which crossed the Atlantic ocean was under the American flag and was named the Savannah. The launching took place in New York harbor, on August 23, 1818, and the first trip began March 28, 1819, was from New York to Savannah, Ga., which was reached April 6. She was advertised by her owner, William Scarborough, of Savannah, to make the ocean trip, starting May 20, and passengers were advertised for. None, however, were willing to risk the voyage. The vessel sailed May 25, reaching the Irish coast June 16. The next day Lieut. Bowin, of the King's cutter "Kite," boarded the ship, thinking that because smoke was issuing from her smokestack that the vessel must be on fire. Capt. Rogers had charge of her during the voyage, and afterward took her to Copenhagen, St. Petersburg and other foreign ports. The steamship was built by Francis Pickett and had a fuel storage capacity of seventy-five tons of coal and twenty-five cords of wood, and her wheels were so constructed as to be removable in stormy weather. Money lending was first carried on by the Lombards, the great Medici family of Florence being the first to make money lending a regular business, from which the loan offices came to adopt the arms of the Medici family, the three golden balls. In London a pawn brokger told a friend that as he never lent anything without demanding something of double value, two of the balls indicated what he took and the third what he gave. What became of Napoleon's son is a question often asked, as little mention is made in history of the young prince, the desire of his father's life, who was born March 20, 1811, amid great rejoicing in Paris, and hailed as the "King of Rome." In January, 1814, Napoleon embraced his wife and child for the last time, and this really ended the reign of the little king "who never saw his kingdom." He was reared in the Austrian court under the name of "Duke of Reichstadt," and grew to be a handsome young fellow and quite a brilliant scholar. He had one short year of military life, and then he died in his 22d year. He worshiped the memory of his father, and always spent the anniversary of his death, July 22, in his own rooms. He is buried in the Carthusian Monastery of Vienna, which is the Austrian Westminster Abbey. The "Sonnets of the Portuguese," which were written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, were never intended for publication, but when she showed them to Mr. Browning, whom she had married after they were written, he realized the fact that in them was sung the most perfect love song the world had ever heard, and he concluded such poems should not be hidden. Mrs. Browning was unwilling to publish them in her own name, and as he was fond of calling her his "小Portuguese," it was decided to have them appear under this name. They are Petrichan in form and among the most beautiful of the language. Marie Theresa, archduchess of Austria, Queen of Hungary and Bohemia and Empress of Germany, had another title which she probably treasured more than all the others. She was called the "mother of her country" and deserved to be so called because of her unselfish devotion to the welfare of her realm. Upon one occasion she appeared in the Hungarian Diet with her crown on her head, a sword by her side, and her infant child in her arms. She made a speech which so aroused the Hungarian nobility that the vast assembly shouted. "Let us die for our king, Marie Theresa" -St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Disaster Prophecies. "The country is going to ruin" exclaimed the nervous man, who talks at the top of his voice. "Of course, it is," answered the grave scientist soothingly.

An Irishman recently applied at a London postoffice to know the cost of sending a telegram to his mother, who resided in a remote part of Ireland, and upon being informed that the fee would be 4s 6d, exclaimed: "What, I cann't afford all that." The clerk then explained that the message would cost 1s 6d to the nearest office to the address given, and that the remaining 8s would be charged for delivery by special messenger, as the address was beyond the radius of free delivery. After some moments of consideration, Pat said: "Look here; I've only got 1s 6d, so you had better send it on to the nearest office, and I will write to mother to-toight and tell her to fetch it."—London Tit-Bits. A Druggist's Time and Straightforward Advice Saves the Life of a Prominent Citizen. Chicago, Ill., Nov. 26.—(Special.)—Among the Catholic Foresters in this city, none is better known or more universally esteemed than Mr. S. P. Rush, conductor (president) of Holy Name Court, No. 26. His many friends, inside the Order and outside of its ranks, were therefore much startled to learn that his life was in danger, he having Bright's disease, that most terrible and fatal disease. Mr. Rush, however, made a grand struggle for his life, taking prescriptions and pills and powders, until his stomach refused food. At last, his local druggist, guided by the numerous inquiries being made at his store for Doid's Kidney Pills, advised Mr. Rush to buy and try some. This he'did, and to his delight he was restored to health and strength. Mr. Rush says that after commencing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills he felt much better, but it took two months to effect a cure. "I took nothing else but Dodd's Kidney Pills during that time, so I know that I owe life and health to them." What this wonderful remedy has done for Mr. Rush it will certainly do for anyone. It is the only remedy that has never failed to cure Bright's disease. Mr. Rush is just now receiving the congratulations of his friends, but always finds time to say a good word for the medicine that saved his life. Sold for 50 cents a box, all dealers.

When I called bilbons attacks come three years with what I called bilbons attacks come once a week. Was told by different physicians that it was caused by bad teeth, of which I had attacked. But the attacks continued. I had seen severely Ripane Tables in all the papers but had no faith in them, but about six weeks since a friend induced me to be them. I had taken two of the bilbons attacks and had no recurrence of the attacks.

WEMYSS General Immigration and industrial Agent, Louisville, Ky. 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, because 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 six teen-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.

For many years it has been known that the steam engine did not utilize all its energies. The ordinary high pressure engine which discharged its exhaust steam into air used hardly more than five per cent. of the value of the fuel burned under its boiler. The compound engine, which condensed its steam and returned the warm water to the boilers, used only twelve to thirteen per cent. of the fuel energy. Here ingenuity seemed to stop until a device was invented for using the heat of the exhaust steam to evaporate another liquid, which having a lower boiler point than water, requires less heat for the process than does water. This process is the joint discovery of G. Behrend, a Hamburg engineer, and Dr. Zimmerman, of Ludwigshafen, and it gains as high as fifty-six per cent. additional motive power without increasing the expenditure of fuel. The liquid they chose for evaporation is sulphurous acid, which is cheap, easily obtained and is so oily that it lubricates the inner working surfaces of the machinery without corroding them. The steam passes into the surface condenser or vaporizer, in which the cooling medium, instead of being water, is liquid sulphurus acid, the boiling point of which is so low that the liquid is decomposed immediately by the heat of the exhaust steam, liberating sulphur dioxide, gas. This gas passes over into the cylinder of an auxiliary engine, where its work is done as in an ordinary steam engine. Then the sulphurous vapor enters the surface condenser, is condensed to liquid by cold water tubes and is forced by a pump back into the vaporizer to do its work over again. With a fairly economical compound engine using sixteen and one-half pounds of steam for each indicated horse-power per hour, half an indicated horse-power can be produced in the auxiliary machine for every horsepower developed in the main engine. New York Press. COAL FAMINE. France Affords a Market For American Products. The coal famine imminent in France affords an opportunity for American coal of all grades in these markets. one or all grades in these markets. The coal famine that has existed in France and a large pare of Europe during the past winter and the consequent high price of all kinds of fuel have called very general attention to the coal supply of the world. The war in the Transvaal and the strikes in the French coal districts have also contributed to the shortage. It could also be attributed to the unexamined activity in the channels of manufacture, which one and all rest upon coal as their foundation, and have been steadily increasing their consumption for the past decade. The governments of several European nations have been asked to take prompt action in the direction of protecting their mines. The annual coal output of France is about two-thirds of its consumption. The railroads of France consume annually about 4,500,000 tons; the metallurgical establishments 6,000,000 tons; the mining industry 3,000,000 tons—over half the output. It is asserted, but not authoritatively, that France can greatly augment her output of coal. The more general opinion is that the country will have to look for her coal supply to the United States and other lands, where there are rich mines yet untouched. What's in a Name? There is more truth than poetry in the following: Call a girl a chick and she smiles; call a woman a hen and she howls. Call a young woman a of any class a witch and she is pleased; call an old woman a witch and she is indignant. Call a girl a kitten and she rather likes it; call a woman a cat and she hates you. Women are queer. If you call a man a gay dog it will flatter him; call him a pup, a hound or a cur and he will try to alter the map of your face. He don't mind being called a bull or a bear, yet he will object to being mentioned as a calf or a cub. Men are queer, too.—St. Paul Globe. From Kentucky.

Stability of Character the Only Source of Usefulness and Happiness—Examine Your Temperament—Dr. Talmage's Sermon. From an unusual text Dr. Talmage in this discourse rebukes the spirit of unrest which characterizes so many people and shows them the happiness and usefulness to be found in stability; text, Jeremiah ii, 36. "Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way?" While seeking divine guidance in your selection of a lifetime sphere examine your own temperament. The phrenologist will tell you your mental proclivities. The physiologist will tell your your physical temperament. Your enemies will tell you your weaknesses. If you are, as we say, nervous, do not become a surgeon. If you are cowardly, do not become an engineer. If you are hoping for a large and permanent income, do not seek a governmental position. If you are naturally quick tempered, do not become a minister of the gospel, for while any one is disadvagted by ungovernable disposition there is hardly any one who enacts such an incongruous part as a mad minister. Can you make a fine sketch of a ship or rock or house or face? Be an artist. Do you find yourself humming endences, and do the treble clef and the musical bars drop from your pen easily, and can you make a tune that charms those who hear it? Be a musician. Are you born with a fondness for argument? Be an attorney. Are you naturally a good nurse and especially interested in the relief of pain? Be a physician. Are you interested in all questions of traffic and in bargain making? Are you apt to be successful on a small or large scale? Be a merchant. Do you prefer country life, and do you like the music in the rustle of a harvest field? Be a farmer. Are you fond of machinery, and are turning wheels to you a fascination, and can you follow with absorbing interest a new kind of thrashing machine hour after hour? Be a mechanic. If you enjoy analyzing the natural elements and a laboratory could entertain you all day and all night, be a chemist. If you are inquisitive about other worlds and interested in all instruments that would bring them nearer for inspection, be an astronomer. If the grass under your feet and the foliage over your head and the flowers which shake their incense on the summer air are to you the bellies lettres of the field, be a botanist. If you have no one faculty dominant and nothing in your make up seems to point to this or that occupation, shut yourself up in your own room, get down on your knees and reverently ask God what he made you for and tell him that you are willing to do anything he wishes you to do. Before you leave that room you will find out. For the sake of your usefulness and happiness and your temporal and eternal welfare do not join that crowd of people who go gadding about among businesses and occupations, now trying this and now trying that and never accomplishing anything. All the great successes have been gained through opposition and struggle. Charles Goodyear, the inventor, whose name is now a synonym all the world over for fortune added to fortune, waded many years chin deep through the world's scorn and was thrust in debtor's prison and came with his family to the verge of starvation, but continued his experiments with vulcanized rubber until he added more than can be estimated to the world's health and comfort, as well as to his own advantage. Columbus and John Fitch, and Stephenson and Robert Bruce, and Cyrus W. Field and 500 others were illustrations of what tenacity and pluck can do. "Hard pounding," said Wellington at Waterloo, "hard pounding, gentlemen, but we will see who can pound the longest." Yes, my friends, that is the secret, not flight from obstacles in the way, but "who can pound the longest." The child had it right when attempting to carry a ton of coal, a shovelful at a time, from the sidewalk to the cellar, and some one asked her, "Do you expect to get all that coal in with that little shovel?" And she replied, "Yes, sir, if I work long enough." By the help of God choose your calling and stick to it. The gadabouts are failures for this life, to say nothing of the next. There are many who exhibit this frailty in matters of religion. They are not sure about anything that pertains to their soul or their eternal destiny. Now they are Untarians, and now they are Universalists, and now they are Methodists, and now they are Presbyterians, and now they are nothing at all. They are not quite sure that the Bible was inspired or, if inspired, whether the words or the ideas were inspired or whether only part of the book was inspired. They think at one time that the story in Genesis about the garden of Eden is a history, and the month after they think it is an allegory. At one time they think the book of Job describes what really occurred, but the next time they speak of it they call it a drama. Now they believe all the miracles, but at your next interview they try to show how these scenes had nothing in them supernatural, but can be accounted for by natural causes. Gadding about among religious theories and never satisfied. All the evidence is put before them, and why do they not render a verdict? If they cannot make up their mind with all the data put before them, they never will. So also many are unfixed in regard to their spiritual condition and day after day and year after year go gadding about among hopes and fears and anxieties. They sing with great emphasis that old hymn which we have all sung: "Tis a point I long to know Oft it causes anxious thought; Do I love the Lord or no? Am I his, or am I not? Why do you not find out whether you are his or not? There are all the broad invitations of the gospel. Accept them. There are all the assurances. Apply them. There are all the hopes of pardon and heaven. Adopt them. There is the King's highway. Start on it. So, alas, there are those who gad about among particular churches. No pastor can depend on them for a single service. At some time when he has, prepared a sermon, after all prayer and all research, putting nerve and muscle and brain and soul into its every paragraph, these intermittent attendants are not there to hear it. While an occasional absence is excusable for the gratification of some wish to hear that which is consecrated or religiously oratic in some other pulp, when the pastor of a church with his eye calls the roll of attendance, by your presence in the old place practically answer, saying: "I am here to get the benefit of all the useful thoughts you may utter and of all the hymns you may give out and of all the prayers you may offer. I, a soldier of Jesus Christ, am in my own place in the company, in the battalion, in the regiment, and when you command 'March!' I will march, and when you command 'Halt!' I will halt, and when you order 'Ground arms!' I will ground arms." Among the faces of gadabouts are those who neglect their homes in order that they may attend to institutions that are really excellent and do not so much ask for help as demand it. I am acquainted, as you are, with women who are members of so many boards of direction of benevolent institutions, and have to stand at a booth in so many fairs, and must collect funds for so many orphanages, and preside at so many philanthropic meetings, and are expected to be in so many different places at the same time that their children are left to the care of irresponsible servants, and if the little ones waited to say their prayers at their mother's knee they would never say their evening prayers at all. Such a woman makes her own home so unattractive that the husband spends his evenings at the clubhouse or the tavern. The children of that house are as thoroughly orphan as any of the fatherless and motherless little ones gathered in the orphanage for which that gadabout woman is tolling so industriously. By all means let Christian women foster charitable institutions and give them as much of their time as they can spare, but the first duty of that mother is the duty she owes to her home. Hired help is a great advantage to the homestead that can afford it, and we have all had in our homes a fidelity on the part of such employees as will stir our gratitude as long as life shall last. How they watched in time of sickness and always gave the medicine at the right time, and but for their vigilance there are members of our families now living who would long ago have disappeared from the home circle. Blessed the ships that brought those employees to our shores! But no one can take a mother's place and it is an awful mistake that that mother makes who sacrifices home duties for any church meeting, however important, or any hospital, however merciful, or any outside benevolence, however glorious and graud. Not understanding this, we mistake when we try to give statistics as to how many Christians there are in our churches and in the world. We understate the facts. We look over our church audiences on the Sabbath or our weekly service and conclude that they represent the amount of piety in that neighborhood. Oh, no! There are many most consecrated souls that are not found in churches. I look into those houses with large families of children and little or no hired help. For much of the year there is some one ill, and a special guardian care is requisite. How much time can that mother give to churches and prayer meetings when most of the family are down with scarlet fever or have colds that threaten now one kind of disease and now another? That mother watching at home as much pleases the Lord as the mother who at church takes the sacrament or in the mission school tells the wails of the street how they may become sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty. The book of Samuel gives a photograph of Mephibosheth lame in both feet. When we see any one lame in one foot or lame in both feet, we always wonder by what accident he was lamed. Perhaps it may have been in battle for his country, or he may have been run over by some reckless driver, or some explosion did the damage. So you wonder how Mephibosheth became lame in both feet. The Bible for a good reason gives us the particulars. It tells us that when he was a child his nurse dropped him. She must have dropped him very hard, for he never again got over the effect of that fall. Long after the accident we find him at King David's table, but still our attention is called to the fact that his feet were crippled, though so long before his nurse dropped him. And mark you that to-day in all departments of life there are those crippled in habits, crippled in morals, crippled for all time. The accident happened in this way: Their mothers were gadabouts and neglected their homes. One bad habit these gadabouts, masculine or feminine, are sure to get, and that is of scandal distribution. They hear so many deleterious things about others and see so much of wrong behavior that they are loaded up and loaded down with the faults of others, and they have their eyes full, and their ears full, and their hands full, and their mouths full of defamation. The woman who is endowed of gossip can so easily unite her bonnet strings and sit down to spend the afternoon. A man can afford you a cigar as a retainer if you will patiently hear all he has to say about those who cannot pay their debts, or are about to fail, or are guilty of moral mishap, or have have aroused suspicion of embezzlement. All gadabouts are peddlers, who unpack in your presence their large store of aux vomics and nightshide. Such gathbouts have little prospect of heaven. If they got there, they would try to create jealousy among the different ranks of celestials, and make trouble among the heavely neighbors, and start quarrels seraphic, and would be on perpetual run. THE HO A WOMAN'S WORK. When the breakfast things are cle Now, what is the practical use of the present discourse? This: Whereas, so many have ruined themselves and rinsed others by becoming gadabouts among occupations, among religious theories, among churches, among neighborhoods; therefore, resolved, that we will concentrate upon what is right thought and right behavior and waste no time in vacillations and indecisions and uncertainties, running about in places where we have no business to be. Life is so short we have no time to play with it the spend-thrift. Find out whether the Bible is true and whether your nature is immortal, and whether Christ is the divine and only Saviour, and whether you must have him or be discomfited, and whether there will probably ever be a more auspicious moment for your becoming his adherent, and then make this 12 o'clock at noon of November 25, 1900, the most illustrious minute that you will ever have passed since the day of your birth until the ten million cycle of the coming eternity, because by complete surrender of thought and will and affection and life to God through Jesus Christ you become a new man, a new woman, a new soul, and God the Father, and God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, and all angeldom, cherubim, and seraphim, and archangel became your allies. Found among the papers of the learned Samuel Johnson was a prayer inscribed with the words, "When my eye was restored to its use;" and it is a great moment when we get over our moral blindness and gain spiritual eyesight. That is a moment from which we may well date everything. All the glory of Henry II of France vanished when in a tournament a lance extinguished his eye, and the worst disaster that can happen to us is to have the vision of our soul put out. If you have gone wrong so far, now go right. If the morning and noon of your life have been a moral defeat, make the evening of your life a victory. The battle of Marengo, lost at $ o'clock in the afternoon, was gloriously won at 6 and in your life and mine it is not too late to achieve something worthy of an immortal. Start right and keep on. Do not spend too much time in tackling ship. David felt the importance of fixedness of purpose when he cried out, "My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed!" In that state you will feel the placidity which an old friend of mine put into rhythm: God holds the key of all unknown. And I am glad. And I am glad. If other hands should hold the key, Or if he trusted it to me, I might be sad. I cannot read his future plan, But this I know: I have the smiling of his face And all the refuge of his grace. Enough; this covers all my want, And so I rest; For what I cannot he can see. And in his care I sure shall be Forever blest. The Problem of the Young Person. From the mothers of France the American mother may learn much. From the jeune fille of France the American maiden may receive an example which, if followed, will result in great moral good. Of her mental advancement one can not say too much. The mind of the American girl is too restless, too inquiring, too longing, too speculative, too daring, to sit quietly down under the simple regime which is laid out for the daily instruction (repression?) of her French sister. Most American girls read what they choose, listen to what they choose, know whom they choose, and go where they are invited. I do not say all, but most. While you, good mother, are at your society meeting, your Shakespeare or Browning club, while you are engaged in the inducable work of cutting out clothes for the poor, how do you know what gratious lessons are being given to your little girl? How different the education of the young French girl, even by the despised immoral mother (so called by her home critics)—the mother lost, as they avert to all sense of decency! Not only may the jeune fille never go away alone to pass a day or night, but she may go nowhere, unless accompanied by her mother, her father or her brother. She may never open a book without her mother's permission. New England Economy. There is a little settlement of New Hampshire people in Kiowa county, Colorado. Among other things they brought with them the New Hampshire aversion to using any more words in conversation than are absolutely necessary. Two of them met on the road recently and indulged in the following dialogue: "Mornin', SI." "Mornin', Josh." "What'd you give your horse for bots?" "Turpentine." "Mornin'," "Mornin'," A few days later the men met again, and here's the way a hard-luck story was told in mighty few words: "Mornin', SI." "Mornin', Josh." "What'd you say you gave your horse for bots?" "Turpentine." "Killed mine." "Mine, too." "Mornin'," "Mornin'."—New York Tribune. Fully Proved. "Yes, that's a speaking picture of your wife." "Then the artist was right about it, after all." "How so?" "He said it was as natural as life."— Chicago Times-Herald. THE HOUSEHOLD. A WOMAN'S WORK When the breakfast things are cleared away The same old problem's rising For she again sits down to think Of something appetizing. The dinner she must soon prepare, Or give the cook directions. And great is the relief she feels When she has made selections. When dinner things are cleared away The problem that is upper Is just the same with one word changed— Till choice is made, and then begins The work of preparation. When supper things are cleared away Again her mind is worried. For then she thinks of breakfast time, When meals are often hurried. She ponders o'er it long, until That "woman's work is never done" Has often been disputed. But that she's worried is a fact, And cannot be refuted. The worry over what to eat Is greatest of these questions. And glad she'd be if some one else Would make the meal suggestions. —Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. TABLE AND MITCHEN. Useful and Timely Hints For the Careful Housewife. These accessories to our list of dishes custom, and not necessity, has created a demand for, and the list increases each season as the seekers after novelties discover something new and yet untried. These dishes may be served at various periods throughout the meal, from beginning as the first course, or appetizer, to the ending in the character of a digest. In all these dishes there must be a touch of piquancy, an element, pungent, keen, biting. Either sour or hot or a combination of both. At the beginning of the meal these usually take the form of sandwiches, canapes or cocktails, near the salad course some cheese preparation, and at the end a bit of cheese, an olive, preserved ginger or the indispensable coffee. All throughout the meal, if it be comprised of many and rich courses, celery, olives, pickles and salted nuts are passed. We leave the readers to form their own conclusions as to whether a generous indulgence in these dishes is according to hygienic laws and naturally refined taste. To use these articles simply as incentives to increase the appetite should not be necessary and suggests the idea of living to eat, with no higher results to be gained from our food. Olives, salted nuts and the "bit of cheese," a fashion of our grandmother's time, when indulged in with moderation are innocent enough in themselves and not only possess considerable food value, but act as mild digests. But with these, as in regard to everything else, observe temperance and do not eat more than enough because they taste good: a childish habit many grown people have not overcome. These in the form of devised dishes, curries or highly seasoned sandwiches are usually served for luncheon or chafing dish suppers. These give an opportunity for using up in a dainty, acceptable manner many otherwise hopeless materials and at the same time save many a dollar for fresh meats which are always a tax on the limited pocketbook. Remove the bones from a bottle of good anchovies, preserved in oil. Put four into a mortar or bowl; add a tablespoonful lemon juice, eighth of a spoonful of cayenne or paprika, which is milder, and one tablespoonful of butter. Pound or rub to a paste. Cut strips of stale bread (12 for this quantity of anchovies), quarter of an inch thick, one and one-half inch wide and three inches long. Clarify four tablespoonfuls of butter and fry the cook and spread with the anchovy paste. Cut the remaining anchovies into little fillets of slices, arrange two on each canape near the edge and fill the space in between with alternate layers of whites and yolks of two hard boiled eggs pressed through a sieve. Arrange the canapes on a dish and garnish with stuffed olives or pimolas. Take the legs, back or wings of cold chicken or other fowl, score deep with a sharp knife, rub over with melted butter and cover with a mixture of a dessert-spoonful of made mustard, chutney and curry powder. Broil them lightly and serve with following sauce: a cupful of the gravy or stock, a teaspoonful of sifted sugar, juice of one lemon, dash of paprika, three teaspoonfuls of catup and, if you use wine, half a cup of good sherry. Cook the bones in the same about five minutes until very hot, then serve. Cut slice of brown bread into fancy shapes. Remove the muscle from twelve large oysters, cut them in small pieces, add a tablespoonful of chopped capers, a tablespoonful of chopped gherkins, two tablespoonfuls of mixed horseradish, three tablespoonfuls chopped celery. Mix with about quarter of a cup of Mayonnaise dressing and two tablespoonfuls of Worcestershire sauce. Spread over the bread, which should be very slightly buttered. Garnish with capers and shredded celery. Cheese Relish—Put into a bowl, four level tablespoonfuls grated cheese, two eggs, a tablespoonful of melted butter, a dash of paprika and quarter of a teaspoonful of salt. Beat all to a cream. Mix a teaspoonful of flour with a tablespoonful cream and add to other mixture. Beat all well together. Spread upon buttered crackers, stand in a hot oven a few minutes and serve. Artistic Table Decorations. Nasturtiums, which still bravely bloom in our late gardens, may be brought inside and converted into very pretty table pieces by a simple process. Loosen the earth from about the roots, raising the plant gently and being careful to break as few of the roots as possible. Shake the earth off, wash the plant under the hydrant and fill a colored glass bowl, jardiniere or vase with the budding and blooming plants. Renew the water from day to day, and all the buds will bloom, the roots grow quite long and strong, and the delicately fragrant plants make cheerful spots in the home for some time to come. As the large leaves wither they should be cut or pinched off, and the results of this experiment will be found to be surprisingly pretty. The best and most serviceable table piece is the fernery, now seen in almost every home. Beautiful ones of decorated china or silver are always welcomed as gifts, but this year an economical innovation, shows baskets utilized for the purpose. Unlike other potted plants, the fern demands no drainage, so any ordinary, shallow pan may be utilized, suiting its form to the little fancy work basket, and the effect is almost as pretty as the more expensive receptacles. A pretty filling consists of five small asparagus ferns, with one or two graceful cocis in the center. These are very beautiful, and in their form resemble the sago palm, only, of course, in the delicacy of a fern. Do not have your asparagus too crowded, as it will not do so well without free ventilation for the soil, and in watering do not wet the foliage unless there is a good current of air to dry it nicely. Where flowers are to be used roses or plums, or anything desired, may be stuck into the earth where they will keep beautifully fresh for some time, and are charming, nestling among the exquisitely fragile green. White carnations or la France roses are found to be particularly pretty, or later, when lilies of the valley come in, their slender sprays of bells so disposed will evoke much admiration. One of the most attractive bits of green for winter homes is the peanut vine. It is easily grown in a light, loamy soil. All you have to do is to get a handful of green peanuts from a vendor (not roasted, of course), put them in a pot or hanging basket, and await developments. The vine is singularly beautiful and may fall from a basket or be trained up the curtains or run over a tall vase or similar ornament. Chinese lilies cost only 6e per bulb, and will give you some beautiful green and handsome, fragrant flowers. It is best to pot them, wet them well, then set away in a dark closet where the temperature is cool and subject to no change. Let them remain so for from a month to six weeks, when the pot will be filled with roots, but no sprout visible. Then bring them out to strong light and heat when the plant will develop very rapidly, be hardy and strong and much handsomer than if sprouted in water, as is so often the case. Hyacinths, and, in fact, most bulbs are improved by such A thrifty woman made a pretty centerpiece of a shallow, granite cake pan—the kind having a chimney, so to speak, in the middle. She set a variety of ferns in the pan and placed the whole in a fern dish which was just a trifler larger. Into the outer space she daily inserts whatever she has at hand, now beautifully colored autumn leaves, or wild vines with berries. There is water under the cake pan, so that these leaves keep well. The fern fronds cover the center opening, but if she desires she has always a place for fixing such flowers or taller decorations, as she may desire. Pumpkin Pie. November is the heyday of the pumpkin pie. Here is a recipe for this popular pie given by the head pastry cook of one of the most famous hotels in the United States: Take one quart of well stewed pumpkin strained through a sieve, add half a pound of sugar, two ounces of melted butter, nine eggs, half an ounce of ground ginger, one quarter of an ounce of ground cinnamon, one-eighth of an ounce of ground cloves, half a teaspoonful of grated nutmeg, a pinch of salt and a tablespoonful of molasses; mix and beat well together, add a pint and a half of milk. This will make filling for two large pies; bake in a moderate oven. To stew pumpkin for pies wash and dry the pumpkin, then cut in slices around the pumpkin. Remove the wind and cut in small pieces. Place the pieces in a kettle with one cupful of water and let it stew slowly, taking care that the pumpkin does not burn. When the pumpkin is thoroughly cooked the water should have pretty well boiled away. Do not pour out any of the liquid, as this contains the richness and flavor of the pumpkin. Strain one quart of this stewed pumpkin into a pan and add a scant tablespoonful of ginger, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, a piece of butter the size of an egg, five eggs beaten with one and one-half cupfuls of sugar. When the ingredients are well beaten together add two quarts of hot milk and a pinch of salt. Place the pan containing this mixture over a kettle of hot water to keep warm while the plates are being lined with paste. Then fill and bake without an upper crust in a moderate oven. Baby's Ball. A ball that will prove especially charming for baby is of zephyr, and may be prepared at home. It is so soft and pliable that it is readily retained by the baby fingers, and does not bounce away in an aggravating manner like the rubber affairs usually selected. To make one, cut two rounds of cardboard about three inches in diameter, and, laying these together, take from the centers a piece three-fourths of an inch in diameter. Wind bright zephyr in and out through the center and over the edge of the cardboard until the hole in the center is filled. Then with a sharp pair of scissors cut the zephyr along the edge between the two cardboards, pass some twine twice around between the cards, and tie it tight; tear the cardboard away, and when fluffy and round, clip the surface until it looks like velvet. The size of the ball will depend upon the size of the circles of cardboard, and the hole in the center must be made in proportion, so that enough zephyr may be wound through to make the ball firm and full when clipped. What One Woman Thinks. The small boy is announcing what he expects for Christmas. You can't blame the star actor for trying to make a show of himself You can tell a great deal about a woman's tastes from the perfume she uses. Never give away a present that you feel you would rather keep for yourself. What some people think they don't know isn't to be found in the encyclopedia. If one half of the how knew the other half lived what a lot of surprises there would be. You can't judge of the amount of money in a pocketbook by the amount of gold trimming there is on the outside.—Philadelphia Times. "INNOCENTS ABROAD." The American Visitors to the Paris Exposition Are Easy. "There is a lot of tribulation among the Americans who have gone to Paris to see the exposition on a strictly economic basis," said a guest at one of the hotels, who is fresh from the French capital, to a New Orleans Times-Democrat man. "A large portion of that class are women. They have 'posted themselves' in advance, from misleading articles written by people who were evidently never abroad, memorized a dozen or so useful phrases' and rush across to do the big show on $1.50 a day. Such a tourist has about as much chance in Paris is a spring chicken in a pack of wolves. The poor innocents who have told that 'everybody speaks English over there,' get off the train to find themselves in a babel of foreign tongues and without the least idea which way to turn. Naturally they are at the mercy of the first sharper they meet, and scores of them have been plucked clean, then and there, on the pretext of changing their money to French currency. Others are lugged off to shady pensions and swindled in detail. Most of the mnsophisticated strangers expect to get rooms at $1 a day or less, and have made their calculations accordingly. The cheapest quarters to be had in Parisian boarding houses at present are 300 franes a month, and one is exceptionally lucky to strike a comfortable lodging in a good location at that figure. Everything else is in proportion, and while there are no extra charges at the exposition proper the 'midway' attractions have a fee taker at every turn. The Swiss village and Old Paris, which are the two principal features, have a fixed price of admission and innumerable special charges designed to catch greenhorns. It is like a church fair—two-bits to get in and $5 to get out—and the visitor who can't speak the language will cur all sorts of obligations before he knows it. It is perfectly useless for him to bluff and bluster, because those two things are the Frenchman's long suit. The native sharper will scream bellow, gesticulate, get black in the face and work himself into such a fake frenzy that the expostulating victim will be only too glad to pay the bill and escape." His Depomination. Three men once stepped up to a notied revivalist at the close of one of his evening meetings and asked him to decide a point concerning which they had been disputing. "One of my friends here," said the spokesman, "contends that you are a Baptist——" "Why does he think I am a Baptist?" interrupted the evangelist. "Because he has seen you assisting enthusiastically at a baptism by immersion. My other friend is equally sure you are a Methodist——" "Why?" "Well, he has heard you say 'amen' with much fervor when some good Methodist brother has been praying. I differ with both. I say you are either a Congregationalist or a Presbyterian." "Why so?" "Well, I notice you always stand when you pray." "My brother," was the reply, "I have almost forgotten, but I think each one of you is right. I belong to all four of those denominations." This, in the larger sense, was double less true.—Youth's Companion. Tree Growing—Progress in Kansas. Fifty years hence Kansas and the States planting trees to-day will be supplying California and the coast States with timber. One need not be particularly gifted with foresight to predict such an event. It it an indisputable and lamentable fact that at the present rate of forest denudation on the Pacific coast it will be but a short time before all the timber on that section of the coast is gone. The Government will realize when it is not late the great loss this despoiling of our forests means. Kansas has formed an organization for the preservation of the trees which others States would do well to join.—Chicago Tribune. Russia to Adopt the Metric System The Russian Minister of Finance has, says a St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Daily Mail, definitely decided to introduce the metrical system of weights and measures into Russia, St. Petersburg, Moscow and half a dozen other great cities will have their first experience of the reform on January 14, 1901, and the rest of the country will be gradually permeated with it in the course of five years. There is a feeling, too, abroad in Australia that with the coming commonwealth should be introduced a currency based upon the decimal system. Perhaps It Will "Spellbinder seems to be wound up for a long speech," said Snuggs at Spiffins, at a political meeting. "Perhaps that is the reason he can wind the speech up," suggested Spiffins. -Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Avoid Nervous Prostration.

THE RECORDER, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA RUSH TO GOLD FIELDS FOR MALARIA. GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WARRICK COUNTY OVER THE RECENT DISCOVERIES OF PRECIOUS ORE. A Clash of Authority—Death of a Recluse—Insurance Legislation—Bad Fire at Notre Dame—Engine Men Scalded to Death—State Notes. Rush to Gold Fields. Evansville special: A dispatch from Lynville in Warrick county, says excitement over the discovery of gold and silver near that place is growing and claims are being staked off every day. Several Lynville women have staked off claims and are confident they will realize a fortune. The land surrounding the knobs is very poor and some of it was turned over to the county years ago because the owners refused to pay taxes on it. People are rushing to the county treasurer's office to pay the back taxes on this land and get a clear title to it. The hotels and restaurants at Lynville are filled and people are flocking there from all directions. The saloons are doing a rushing business and several new ones have started since the boom began. Dr. G. O. Wilde, on whose land the first claim is situated, has organized a company with a capital stock of $100,000. He will send a ton of the ore to Cincinnati to have it smelted. The people of Lynville say years ago an old Indian came through the place and pointing to the north said gold and silver in great quantities were to be found in that direction. People paid no attention to him then, but since the discovery of gold and silver they have recalled his words. A Clash of Authority A clash of authority in the office of a justice of the peace In Anderson has brought from Attorney General Taylor an opinion that is of interest to many townships and courts in the State. Previous to the election the County Commissioners appointed J. J. Bravy as a constable for Anderson township, vice Joseph Eads, resigned. When candidates were nominated for township offices the Republicans failed to nominate a candidate, as Bravy was serving under a commission by appointment. The Democrats nominated George Hallis and his name appeared on the township ballots and he was voted for, receiving a large vote and far in excess of that received by the Prohibition candidate, the other name on the ballot. Hallis was given a commission, filed his bond, which was approved, and then made a demand upon Bravy for the office and upon 'Squire Dunham for the writs that issued from his court. Bravy sought the opinion of Attorney General Taylor and the latter has written to both Bravy and 'Squire Dunham that Bravy's term would not expire till the end of the period for which Bads was elected, and that the last general election was not a time for the general election of constables. Judge Dunham decided to issue the writs to Bravy, the Republican, though the judge is a Democrat, and Hallis proposes to take the case before the Supreme Court for a hearing. Death of a Recluse Brookville special: Tuesday in this city, attended by her sole surviving relative, an aged malden sister, was buried Phoebe Meeks, who had been a recluse for over fifty years, because of some real or fancied slight affront by her sweetheart, Back in the thirties, one Sunday afternoon four "sets" of lovers were out walking. Suddenly one of the girls, Phoebe Meeks, left her sweetheart and returned home. When he called that night she would not see him, and never saw him again, and from that day she became a confirmed recluse. She never saw a railway train nor the court house of Franklin county. Her young lover, Hadley Johnson, finding all efforts for a reconciliation impossible, married and became a widower. He returned to his boyhood home, but she would not see him. Again he came from his far Western home in Utah, and yet again, the last time in 1887, but she remained obdurate. What caused pretty Phoebe Meeks to leave her lover, refuse ever again to see him, and to become a recluse, is a secret that was buried with her. Insurance Legislation. Auditor of State Hart has begun work on the preparation of the insurance bills he proposes to present to the coming Legislature. Chief among these are a fire marshal law, patterned after that of Massachusetts, and an anti-rebate law for life insurance companies and agents. He looks upon rebating as a serious injustice to old policy holders, and will draw the oill to provide for a revocation of the license of the company practicing it. He will also recommend the repeal of the statute requiring companies to file semi-annual statements and a modification of the law relating to the kind of security companies must possess to gain admission to the State. This modification will admit a number of worthy companies which are now barred. He will also recommend a larger appropriation for the use of the Indiana insurance department that it may be made more efficient and beneficial to companies. Governor Mount, in preparing his message for the Legislature, is devoting considerable attention to the fire insurance rating bureaus and organizations, which he styles as "trusts." He has accumulated much data on the subject, and is encouraged in his attack by a number of property-holders with large interests. His message two years ago contained a similar attack, but was ignored. Bad Fire at Notre Dame. South Bend special: The magnificent church at Notre Dame University, that cost nearly half a million dollars and is one of the finest in the country, was threatened with destruction by fire. Sunday, when the sacristy was damaged about $15,000. This is the fourth fire this year, the gymnasium, ice houses and granaries having burned. Many of the students were in church when the flames were discovered, but filed out in good order. The students and South Bend fire department worked hard, but it is probable that many of the university buildings would have been destroyed but for the rain. It is thought the fire started from the igniting of a surplice, though incendiarism is not improbable. Girl's Suicide by Poison. Anderson's suicide by Polish Myrtle Modlin, the 16-year-old daughter of Hanson Modlin, of Lafayette township, three miles north of Anderson, died Monday evening and was buried Tuesday. The girl came to her death by taking strychnine when in a petulant mood because she was required to wash dishes. The girl has been in poor health for weeks and quarreled with a sister on account of the dishwashing. She took the poison several days ago and heroic means were resorted to in order to save her life, but to no avail. Siberian Prisons Abolished Siberia is no longer to be a penal colony.

Nothing can compare to the rapid settlement of the vast plains, unless it be the rapid growth of that famous dyspepsia cure. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Try it for constipation, indigestion, dyspepsia or flatulency. Engine Men Scalded to Death Mekhart special: Lake Shore Engineer George W. Rollins and Fireman Charles Lund, both of this city, were scaled to death in their cab at White Pigeon, Mich., Sunday night. Their engine was the second and smaller of two that were hauling a heavy freight train. As the train was to round a curve in the "Y" at White Pigeon it was stopped over a mile west of the "Y" while the two engines went forward to get water and turn the switch, so that when once started again it could make the curve without stalling. In returning to the train the engine crews evidently lost their bearings and did not realize that the train was so close. The engines crashed against the end car with great force, at the rate of twenty miles an hour. The tender of the smaller engine was telescoped in the cab and pinned the men against the boiler head, while escaping steam literally cooked them. A Physician's Sudden Death. Rochester special: Dr. C. F. Harter, aged 65, of Akron, ten miles east of here, and one of the most prominent physicians of the county, died during a professional call Tuesday afternoon. Arriving at the home of his patient, the doctor complained of not feeling well and was asked to lie down and rest. This he did, but said he preferred not to go to bed, as he would soon be all right again. He then laid down upon the floor and in a few minutes expired. Three Corn Shredder Victims Winamac special: On Saturday last the corn shredder machine added several persons to its list in Pulaski county. Charles Stiles lost two ingers of his right hand; James Moran had his left arm mangled to the elbow, and Henry White lost his right hand. John Parral had his coat and vest torn from his body before the machine could be stopped, but escaped injury. New Factory at Mathews Muncie special: Work has been begun on the largest lamp chimney manufactory in the West. The factory is located at Matthews, fifteen miles north of Muncie. The firm, which represents both Eastern and Western capital, will be known as the Indiana Lead Glass Company. The plant will give employment to about four hundred workmen. While lamp chimneys will be the chief article manufactured, the firm announces that plate glass, novelties and fruit jars will be made. The plant will be provided with thirty-eight pots for making glass. The plant will be one of the most extensive in the West. The contractors report that the plant will be complete and ready to operate by the first of the year. Swindled by Forged Checks Muncie special: Muncie business men have just discovered that they were swindled by forged checks, last Saturday. They were passed by an unknown man who bought small bills of goods and took cash in change. They were signed R. Dunn & Sons, contractors. Among the merchants losing $100 or more are William A. McNaughton, Oscar Cohen and L. Shonfield. Queer Case at Muncie Muncie special: Miss Jessie Crow, 21 years old, of Pennville, died Wednesday morning under circumstances which are causing investigation by the police and coroner. The young woman visited Harry Galloway at his barber shop in the suburb of Avondale Tuesday noon and was taken slick at the shop. The young man did not call a physician until too late and she died on a bed in the rear room. The body was taken to the morgue, where an examination was made, Galloway being detained at the police station in the meantime. The examination showed cause for holding the man until a further investigation is made. The young woman had been employed as a hotel waitress in Muncie for some time, and once before was taken ill at the barber shop and was removed to the hospital.
