FLEETS COMPARED While Czar Has More Battleships Mikado Goes Him Better on Swift Cruisers and Effective Torpedo Boats: In view of the impending battle between the Russian and Japanese fleets, the following comparison as to strength will be found interesting: Russia—Battleships, seven; armored cruisers and armored coast defense vessels, two; protected cruisers, eleven; transports and converted liners (estimated), twenty. Japan—Battleships, four or five; armored cruisers and armored coast defense vessels, ten; protected cruisers, twelve; transports and converted liners (estimated), ten. Total—Russia, 50; Japan, 36 or 37. The exact strength of the two fleets in guns cannot be told exactly, because the armament of the Russian volunteer fleet and of the twenty odd transports is not known in detail. But in a general way the following estimate $ _{6} $ will show the relative strength of the squadrons: Russia—12-inch guns, 24; 10-inch guns, four; 8-inch guns, eight; 6-inch guns, 150 to 200; smaller guns (estimated at 30 for battleships and 15 for all other vessels), 675; total 911. Japan—12-inch guns, 22 to 26; 10-inch guns, five; 8-inch guns, 34; 6-inch guns, 190; smaller guns (estimated at 30 for battleships and 15 for all other vessels), 630; total 885. Total guns, both fleets, 1,796. In this table it will be seen that the Russians have the advantage in numbers, but are so deficient in armored cruisers that they stand a very poor show against the Japanese fleet. The ten swift, well-armed and well-manned armored cruisers which Togo has constitute, possibly, a more formidable fighting unit than his four or five more heavily armed and armored battleships. During the Spanish-American war the 8-inch rifles with which these cruisers are armed were even more effective than the 12 or 13-inch guns. The latter, of course, do more damage, but they are slower, harder to aim and register a much smaller number of hits than the former. However, the 6-inch rifle is also a wonderfully effective arm and the Russian auxiliary cruisers, converted liners and transports are probably crowded with them. An exact estimate of the strength of the two fleets in respect to this gun is, therefore, impossible. In protected and auxiliary cruisers; the Russians have the advantage. Their scout vessels of from 3,500 to 6,600 tons, are new, very fast and very effective, as the little Novik proved at Port Arthur. In a battle they are everywhere, and nowhere and can brave a heavy fire with surprising impunity. ROCKY DUPLICATES GIFT. Standard Oil King .Offers .Another $100,000 for Missions. An offer by John D. Rockefeller to give the second hundred thousand to the Baptist Missionary Union was received at the headquarters of that union in Boston. On Saturday the union received a check for $100,000 from Mr. Rockefeller, the amount representing Mr. Rockefeller's customary annual donation to the Baptist society to be used for the people conducting the missionary work in foreign fields. The contribution was at once accepted and acknowledged. The offer received Monday from Mr. Rockefeller specified that 'the money, if accepted, is to be applied to the upbuilding' of the missionary plants from the running expenses of the society and salaries for clergymen. PROFESSOR ACCUSED OF ARSON. Dunlap Arrested and Held for Burn- ing a Texas Institution. Professor T. R. Dunlap, who has been vice president of Jarvis college at Thorp Springs, Texas, has been arrested at Fort Worth on a charge of arson. On the night of March 20 the main building of the college was burned without loss of life, and with no apparent reason for the fire. President Dunlap, who was formerly president of the college, was suspect- ed, it is alleged, and his arrest followed. He is 52 years of age and has a family. MITCHELL ARRAIGNED. Oregon Senator Haled to Court on Charge of Working Graft Game Against Uncle Sam. Judge Bellinger's court at Portland, Oregon, was crowded Tuesday when the time arrived for Senator John H. Mitchell to plead to four indictments found against him by the late federal grand jury. In a plea of abatement Senator Mitchell challenged the acts of the late federal grand jury by charging specifically that Jurors W) Robertson and Carl Phelps, the original foreman and secretary, respectively, had been legally excused for the term pending investigation; that Jurors Frank G. Buffum and George Peebler had been sworn in some time after the grand jury had been empanelled; that Juror George Gustin was not a citizen of the United States; that Jurors Frank Bolter and Joseph Essner were not taxpayers, as required by the law, and that District Attorney Heney was disqualified in many ways besides being prejudiced. The plea of abatement was based on the case wherein Senator Mitchell is accused of accepting pay through the law firm of Mitchell & Tanner, to expedite land titles before the land department at Washington, in behalf of Frederick A. Kribs. Judge Alfred S. Bennett,a s attorney for Senator Mitchell, announced that there was a question of moral turpitude involved in the case, where Senator Mitchell is accused of accepting $2,000 from A. D. Puter and therefore he would waive all legal technicalities and be ready to proceed to trial without delay upon the issues at stake. Judge Alfred S. Bennett, as attorney not guilty for the senator in three of the cases against him, two for conspiracy and one for accepting mone) while holding the position of United States senator to expedite title before the land department. W. H. Stelwer, president; H. H. Hendricks, secretary and treasurer; C. B. Zachary, general manager, and C. E. Glass, bookkeeper of the Butte Creek Land, Live'Stock and Lumber company, entered pleas in abatement similar to that of Senator Mitchell, the charges against them being conspiracy to cover the public domain. District Attorney Heney objected to the pleas in abatement on the ground of their being filed too late. Proceedings were here postponed until Friday. NEWS FROM THE CHASE. President Sees Champion Wolf Catcher Do His Favorite Act. One of "President Roosevelt's expressed desires has been gratified. He has seen John Abernathy, said to be the champion wolf catcher of the world, in his unique way kill a coyote and bear it victoriously to the nation's chief executive. Abernathy's favorite dog, "Cannon Ball," led the first big race of the four days' event Monday morning, and captured the first wolf in the chase. Abernathy leaped from his horse, and, with heavily gloved hands, selzed the prostrate animal's jaws, lifted it in his arms and smiling delivered it to the president. SENATOR AND SHERIFF SHOT. Former Dead and Latter Thought to Be Fatally Wounded. State Senator R. L. Hipp, an attorney, was shot and instantly killed and Deputy Sheriff J. H. Dunlap was so badly wounded that it is thought he will die, by John W. Williams, twenty miles east of Cullman, Ala., Tuesday. The officers had gone to the Hipp place to oust Williams from a tract of land which he lost in a lawsuit. When the men approached the house Williams shot Hipp in the head, killing him instantly, and shot Deputy Dunlap through the breast. Williams remained in the house whistling, and said he would stay there until he died. A posse of forty or fifty men went from Cullman to the scene with vehicles to bring back the dead and wounded. Williams is a man of large family and is about fifty years of age. CANNOT NATURALIZE JAPS. Immigration Agent In Texas to Cancel Paners Hitherto Issued. Federal District Attorney McLemore at Houston, Texas, has been instructed by Agent VanDusen of the immigration bureau to take such steps as may be necessary to cancel the naturalization papers hitherto issued to Japanese at Houston and Galveston. VanDusen specifically declares that the Japanese may not be naturalized. Attorney McLemore has referred the matter to the attorney general for a ruling before taking any steps. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. APRIL 15 1905. WILL PUSH WORK Engineer Wallace Talks of Progress on Big Ditch. Laborers Coming In Daily and Excavation on Culebra Cut Well Under Way—Final Plans Yet to Be Selected. John F. Wallace, chief engineer of the isthmian canal, whose salary is $100,000 a year, said, in an interview at Washington Tuesday, that there are now practically 5,000 men engaged under his direction on the engineering and construction work of the canal. The work of installing an American plant at Culebra is going forward as fast as the machinery and supplies can be secured on the isthmus, and when Mr. Wallace left there were six American steam shovels at work in the Culebra excavation, and arrangements have been made to install additional machines at the rate of two a month. During the last ninety days laborers have been coming in freely, from Costa Rica, Jamaica and Barbados. The health of the young Americans on the isthmus is particularly good. There has been very little sickness, and comparatively few fatalities have resulted. Those that have occurred generally have been of persons who have led improper lives, or who have been affected with some functional disorder. The employees, from the states have been remarkably free from fever. The work of installation of the plant and the organization of the force at Culebra is advancing rapidly, and each month the output of material is increasing. The work of the sanitary department is beginning to show very positive results. The water supply for the city of Panama will be available by July 1. Water supply systems also are being installed at various points along the line of the canal work. Several large hotels for the accommodation of the Americans are nearly completed, and Mr. Wallace states that it will be only a matter of a few months now before life on the isthmus will have practically all the comforts and conveniences that are obtainable in the states on a large work of this character. The employees are becoming more and more contented as conditions are improved, and there has continued to be a steady accession to the force. Mr. Wallace says that every additional month he is permitted to continue his investigation and experimental work, the more reliable will be the data available for use in deciding on a plan for the canal. He also emphasizes the statement that thus far he has not committed himself to any definite plan beyond his official recommendations to the former isthmian canal commission. He takes the ground that no plan should be adopted which would prevent the ultimate and economical construction of a sea level canal, should such be decided on at any stage of the work, or even after the canal has been constructed. In the event that the expert engineers who will be called on to recommend a plan decide that it would be feasible from a physical and engineering standpoint to construct either a sea level canal, or one at a higher level, Mr. Wallace says then the decision will resolve itself into one of general national policy and not one of engineering. In answer to a question as to the necessity of an immediate, decision by the commission, Mr. Wallace said that it would require about two years to manufacture and install the necessary machinery to complete the excavation for a canal at a sixty foot level, work which would be necessary in any event. During this period ample time will be afforded for investigation and thorough analysis of all the elements or factors that go to make up the problem as a whole. THE SMITHS IN NEW YORK. Man and Wife Abandon Their Fight Against Extradition. J. Morgan Smith and his wife, who have been indicted together with Nan Patterson, on a charge of conspiring to obtain money from Caesar Young, the bookmaker in connection with whose death the Patterson girl is also under indictment, arrived in New York Tuesday night. Smith and his wife were arrested in Cincinnati. Monday they abandoned their fight against extradition and started for New York in the custody of officers. 19. UP TO THE FARMER. A Reduction of Acreage and Fertilizer an Absolute Necessity. The agricultural department of Alabama and other states show in recent reports that the sale of fertilizer tags in Alabama during the season of 1904-1905 shows an increase of 1,000 tons over the season of 1903-1904. The commissioner of agriculture of Georgia has issued a similar report in which he shows that the sales of fertilizer tags in Georgia this season exceed those of last year by more than 500 tons. "These reports," says M. L. Johnson, president of the Georgia division of the Southern Cotton Association, "put the cotton situation right up to the farmer, in order for the purposes of the association to be carried out, it is absolutely necessary for the farmer to reduce his cotton acreage and the amount of fertilizer used. "I say the situation is up to the farmer, because it is the farmer who will suffer if the crop is not reduced. Without a reduction, the price of cotton will be lower than the cost of production, and the farmer will find himself in debt. With a low price this year, the interests of the entire south will suffer." "The farmers of Georgia must reduce their acreage. Let it not be said of Georgia that she did not join heart and soul in the movement which means the salvation of the southern cotton grower." "QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY." Women Discuss Observations of Presid-ident Anent "Race Suicide." The observations of President Roosevelt on the question of race suicide received the attention of some of the prominent delegates to the National Council of Women in session at Washington. Some of them take issue with the president on this subject, and say he should look to the women of his own social set for race suicide. "It is the pace set by our society women particularly in official life," one of the delegates declared, "which makes race suicide a subject for profound thought. The women of the submerged half, as we call it, do not practice race suicide. It is the business burdened, the determined to get rich-faster and the society crazy mother who refuse the cares of parenthood." A resolution was reported on the question of parenthood, taking issue with the president's views on the question of race suicide, and declared that "quality, not quantity," of children is preferable. Rev, Anna Howard Shaw, the president of the National Woman's Suffrage Association, spoke her mind on the question of parenthood, saying, in part: "It is said that woman should rear more children, but I say that you must first make your country fit to rear children in. We need to make this world safe for children. To do so we must give them social heredity, so that they will be born in safe conditions and protected until grown. This cannot be done until women have rights in the state to protect them." NECESSARY VOTES RECEIVED. Cumberland and Northern Presbyterian Churches Will Be United. Cumberland Presbyterian headquarters at Nashville announced Wednesday that the proposition for union with the Northern Presbyterian church has received the requisite 58 votes, with others of the 114 Presbyteries of the Cumberland Presbyterian church yet to hear from. The deciding vote was cast by the Pennsylvania Presbyterian presbytery. It is said that the Northern Presbyterian church is voting for union in the ratio of 10 to 1. It has already settled the question of separate presbyteries for negroes. The general assemblies of both churches will meet on May 17, the Cumberland Presbyterians in Fresno, Calif., and the Presbyterians in Winona Lawe, Ind. The votes will be declared in both. Friends of union, however, do not expect that union will be actually perfected in less than two years, considerable time being required to perfect the details. Transactions of Equitable Assurance Society Under Investigation. A complete record of all the financial transactions of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of New York, its relations to other corporations and a full list of the society's employees, including all of its officers, together with a statement of the salaries and emoluments received by them, is asked of the society's president, James W. Alexander, in a letter sent to him by Henry C. Frick, chairman of the investigation committee. MOB KILLS SHERIFF Official Gave Life to Prevent Liberation of Prisoner FOUR MEN UNDER ARREST Foul Tragedy in Sanatobia, Miss., Arouses Intense Indignation and Lynching Spirit Manifested Against Perpetrators. At an early hour Wednesday morning Sheriff J. M. Poag of Tate county, Miss., was shot and killed by a mob of masked men who entered the jail at Sanatobia for the purpose of liberating James Whit, a white prisoner, who is soon to be placed on trial, on a charge of murder. The mob, which consisted of six or eight men, reached the jail at three o'clock in the morning and gained an entrance before Sheriff Poag was aware of its intention. The sheriff demanded that the men leave the jail, and was met with a firm refusal, whereupon the officer fired, wounding one man. The mob then fired on the sheriff, two bullets taking effect, one passing through the left lung. The members of the mob then beat a hasty retreat, taking their wounded companion with them. Sheriff Poag lingered until 6 o'clock Wednesday morning, when he died. Four Under Arrest. A later dispatch says: Four members of the sexette of masked men that entered the jail at Senatobla and killed Sheriff J. M. Poag have been captured by a deputy sheriff's posse. The streets of Senatobla are thronged with crowds of citizens, and trouble, it is feared, will occur. The entire countryside has been greatly stirred and feeling runs high against the members of the mob that perpetrated the crime. Residents of outlying towns and farms-flocked to Senatobla in considerable numbers and the city Wednesday night was aflame with excitement. Sam Howell, who is alleged to have been a member of the masked sextette, was wounded by the sheriff, it is said, in his fight with the jail stormers, and is one of the men captured by the deputy sheriff's posse. Howell, it is reported, had concealed himself in the cabin of a negro near the town of Strayhorn, being unable to accompany his companions in their preepitate flight. APOPLEXY TAKES LAWYER. Hon. Washington Dessau Drops Dead In Georgia Supreme Courtroom. Washington Dessau of Macon, one of the ablest and most prominent members of the Georgia bar, died suddenly Wednesday morning in the chambers of the supreme court, at Atlanta, while he was arguing a case. His death was due to an attack of apoplexy, which seized him while he was in the midst of a discussion with members of the supreme bench relative to a certain point he had raised. In ten minutes after being attacked the lawyer was dead. Mr. Dessau's death was one of the most dramatic scenes ever enacted in a courtroom in Georgia. He had just addressed the court and called attention to a section of the code bearing on the case of which he was talking. Justice Cobb had asked the attorney a question or two, and this evidently pleased him. "I enjoy," said Mr. Dessau, "this method of arguing a case. I like for the court to ask me questions. If I am wrong, I will see it. It is the friction of two minds that causes the spark of truth to scintillate," and as he gave expression to the last thought the lawyer sank into the chair just behind him. He was dead inside of ten minutes. The suddenness of the attack took everyone in the courtroom by surprise. A second before sinking into his chair, Mr. Dessau was the picture of vigorous health. Information reached Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Tuesday of the assassination of Stewart Champion, manager of the Jed Strong plantation, Champion was sitting before the fire, holding his baby in his arms, when a shot was fired through the window, causing his death. The baby was slightly wounded in the feet. Dogs, placed on the trail went to a house, occupied by John Carpenter and Bob Robinson, colored farm laborers, and they are now in fall. Merchant at Olney, Georgia Slain Be Fore Wife, and Children. M. L. Parker, of Olney, Ga., was shot and almost instantly killed Saturday night about 11 o'clock. He lived only about two hours. His wife and two small children were in the room when the tragedy occurred. Mr. Parker was preparing to retire when, without warning, the murderer, unseen, fired a load of buckshot through the window penetrating Mr. Parker in the hips. Mr. Parker was a large planter and also a merchant. He has just come from his store, and was getting ready to retire when he was shot. SOLICITUDE FOR, PRESIDENT Special Prayer for His Safety. Gaplaim Bradford of the Illinois house of representatives at the opening of the legislature's session Tuesday offered a prayer for the safety of President Roosevelt on the hunting trip through the west and southwest. He drew a picture of the dangers into which the president was going and prayed for his safe return. WARSHIP MINNESOTA LAUNCHED New Vessel of Navy Makes Successful Plunge Into Her Element.

Could Not Shut Eyes to Sleep—Forty Bolts on Head—spent $100 on Doctors —Baby Grew Worse—Cured by Cuticura For $5. "A scab formed on my baby's face, spreading until it completely covered her from head to foot, followed by boils, having forty on her head at one time and more on her body. Then her skin started to dry up and it became so bad she could not shut her eyes to sleep. One month's treatment with Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment made a complete cure. Doctors and medicines had cost over $100, with baby growing worse. Then we spent less than $5 for Cuticura and cured her. (Signed) Mrs. G. H. Tucker, Jr., 335 Greenfield Ave., Milwaukee, Wis."

Mrs. Jane Jones, a widow, who lived about three miles from here, died, last Friday night and was buried in Peterson Grove cemetery near Stuckey, Ga., by the side of her husband, Sunday evening last. She leaves four sons, two daughters and a host of friends to mourn her loss. They have our heart felt sympathy. Notes of Progress. It is encouraging to visit some of the small towns of the state and note the progressive spirit of many of our people. It goes to prove that they are mindful of conditions and are preparing themselves to meet them. Ocilla is one of the prosperous towns of South Georgia. Several of our men are conducting mercantile business. Mr. J. H. Gambell has a large stock and a good trade. Mr. G. C. McMillen is one of the leading carpenters and owns a valuable home in a good locality. Fitzgerald has a phenominal growth; from nothing but woods a few years ago it is now the largest town in that section. Prof. H. Buchanan, an efficient teacher, is among the leading citizens and Editor T. W. Clark of the Advance is holding his own. To visit Abbeville without seeing Messrs. H. J. Knuckles and B. B. Welborn, would be missing a rare treat. Both of these gentlemen understand fully how to make a visitor feel at home and leave nothing undone in that direction. They conduct a first class tonsorial parlor and has the best class of customers for miles around. They are substantial citizens and highly respected by every one. Mr. S. T. Dixon saves soles, and is said to be a good workman; everybody in the town know him. He is one of the special officers of Abbeville. Messrs. Chancey & Moore have a well stocked merchandize store and seem to be prosperous. Masenic Notes.

On Sunday morning, a very appropriate memorial address was delivered at the First Congregational church, in honor of the late pastor, Rev. Thos B. Lillard, by Prof. Geo. B. Hurd, of Beach Institute. After the address, resolution from the church was read. Following is the address of Prof. Hurd: Rev XIV:13 "And I heard a voice from Heaven, saying unto me 'Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them" A lonely old man banished from his home because of his faith in Christ sits at the doorway of his cave dwelling on the tale of Patmos and looks out to the East toward his beloved Ephesus, where dwelt his kindred and dearest friends. Sent here that he may not continue to strengthen the churches of Christ by his visits and spiritual counsel. But the God, whom he worship is not to be thwarted in using this "beboyed disciple" of Christ for the good of his church. As he looks forth into the dreamy east his natural eyes reach the limit of their vision, but God opens the eyes of his soul, and as the hours and days of his lonely life pass by, he sees and hears the great mysteries of christian faith, and leaves them on record, for those churches from which his captivity separated him and so for all Christ's followers. Vision after vision was given to him. His ears were opened to hear the words of the spiritual life. Our text is a climax in a series of these visions. The chapter opens with a vision of the Lamb standing on Mt. Zion with the "hundred and forty and four thousand having his Father's name written in their foreheads," singing the new song of redemption. Then come successively the three angels with their announcements. The first with the "everlasting gospel for every nation and kindred and tongue and people." The second announcing the sure overthrow of evil. The third assuring the world that followers of evil shall receive punishment of inconceivable suffering. Then follows our text by "A voice from Heaven." And its central thought has been written clear and bright across the christian's heaven ever since that day. The ears opened to the deep truths of G'd have continued to hear the same satisfying assurance that John heard, and to believe most truthfully the divine words "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." It is with special sense of the meaning of these words from Heaven, that we enter into the services of this hour to day. It is with definite faith in this annunciation from on high, that this church this morning commemorates the fact that our pastor for a little less than three years, has finished his little span of life here on earth and gone on into the life beyond. We think of him to day as one of "the dead which die in the Lord" and because we have faith in the promise of God, and believe that our brother died in the Lord, we know that he is "blessed" in his present experience, beyond the privilege of mortals who have not yet put on immortality. The acquaintance of this church with the Rev. Thomas B. Lullard has been brief, but long enough to prove to us all, that the one great ambition of his life, for its first result, had in mind the building up of this church, under God, into a power for deep, true, strong, sensible religious life in this city. In his short 33 years of life, he had yet gained a broad far reaching view of what true religion should be. He had learned to know early in life, that the religion that abides and accomplishes for Christ in the world, and uplifts humanity to permanent uprightness, must have something in it besides the more emotional forces. That while personal salvation and peace with God are necessary elements of right religious experience, there must be added to this, intelligent persistent work for each other, for the church, for all rightly organized bodies of believers who are doing for humanity. With this belief came naturally the desire to be a leader in such work. And with this desire for leadership, came to him also, the need of preparation for such leadership by taking every educational advantage possible. So we find him taking advantage of Maryville College, which graduated him in 1898. But he was not content to stop here. The thirst to know more and do more and be more was upon him and so he goes on to Hartford Theological Seminary in Connecticut, Graduated by that institution in 1902 with high honors, he gave up an idea. entertained for some time as possibly his call, [that was to enter into the students volunteer corps and go to foreign lands] and in June of 1902 came to take charge of this church, as his first parish; He was ordained here Nov 15, 1902 as pastor of this church. Still anxious to further, equip himself as a useful leader of his people, he was given leave of absence for one year and spant it in further study in Germany among the greatest students of History and Philosophy, and Theology in the world. In a country where no color distinction is made against any race of men. Returning to the charge of this church in August of 1904 he came with definite hope that so good a foundation as he had laid in preparation for the ministry, would enable him to build for himself, and this church a lasting structure. The change of climate in returning so soon put in its enervating effect, but was heeded only as a common experience of many, in getting used to our sudden changes. Ambitions to hurry on complete settlement as pastor resident, and make a home of his own among us, he decided to take up class work at Beach Institute, for a few months at least, and spent forewords there with us during October and November, until it was evident that his strength would no longer permit extra work of this kind. During his stay in Beach, teachers and pupils recognized his earnest faithful effort to do his work efficiently, and use his influence for every right word and work. When he realized his physical weakness, he frankly spoke of it and withdrew, with the hopeful idea ever mercifully present in the disease which had fastened itself upon him, that later in the school year he would be able to resume a part of the work again. During his teaching at. Beach all professional and social courtesies were mutually considered by all, and he proved himself worthy the name and treatment of a gentleman and a Christian. You who listen know the rest of his story, some of you better than I do. How he failed to realize his hopeless condition of health, and went on planning his return to na in the summer, how God let this stay in his heart as a comfort right up to the day of his death, so that all he thought and all he planned about this church and its relation to him, was based on this belief, which God so kindly gave him, and which no one had the right to take from him, except the God who gave it. In this hope his parents and two sisters and two brothers shared. Their hope and the last details of his enathly life, can be best shown to us by a few lines written, by his brother, to an officer of this church, a few hours after his spirit had gone home. His brother writes as follows. "His death is a sad blow to us. We had entertained such bright hopes of him, and his career seem to us, so promising, that it seem hard indeed to lose him. While we had regarded his case as hopeless, so far as complete restoration of his health was concerned, his death is a shock to us, coming as it did in the wake of an apparent rally. Monday and Tuesday nights he was quite restless, although his appetite was still good, but Wednesday night and Thursday morning he rested unusually well: He had refreshing sleep and seemed in excellent spirits. We had quite a lengthy conversation regarding different topics. He appeared better until a few minutes before he died, when he was selzed with a coughing fit followed by a slight hemorrhage, then tranquilly passed away." Our thoughts have followed this letter as it refers to the strength of spirit and the frailty of body. Our tenderness touched by the picture of emaciated form and utter weakness. Let us for a moment turn our thoughts with the Christian's privilege to the unwritten continuation in fact. A tranquil drop ping into quiet sleep after pain and weakness of long months. And next? An awakening into the spirit world. A spiritual body that can not feel pain of disease. A sense of perfect body and mind, with no further struggle against bodily temptations. A clear knowledge that eternal sinlessness and peace has come at last. Release from all vexed questions of life's right and wrong. Received into the presence of Him who said "Where I am there shall ye be also." We do not know the detailed facts of that joy, but the new testament abounds with statements of its reality. None come back to tell us but Jesus says again "God is not the God of the dead but of the living" And Paul spiritualizes Isaiah's words in writing to the Corinthians and says "As it is written, eye hath hot seen ear heard, nor hath it entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." Again Paul writes to the Phillippians "For me to live is. Christ, but to die is gain." The Revelation of John is full of the imagery of the joy of the redeemed. Dear brethren and sisters of this church, as we to-day enter into commemoration of our pastor's death, with the words of his bereaved family before us, so clearly describing his last experiences and final passing from earth, do we not see another phase of God's mercy and loving kindness, in so mercy fully, keeping from this ambitions, gifted young man, just on the threshold of a long useful career, according to his own calculations, all realization of its impossibility, until the actual time came to call him to even higher things beyond. ```markdown ``` An assistantian, Christian Institutulos, devoted especially to advanced education, College Normal, and College Preparatory Course, with Industrial Training Superior advantages in music and printing.

Information address President HORACE BUMERDAD. death, the joy over his promotion to higher service should, outweigh all regret that his life was cut short here, according to our short sighted human standards. The sense of personal bereavement which comes into the hearts of some of us who knew him beat, must,yield to calm deep peace, in the knowledge of his faithfully completed carezr on earth. We may drop the tear of regret for his absence on our own account but rather if there be sorrow that must have way, let it be for father, mother, sisters and brothers who, though not hopeless in their grief, need all the loving support of Christian belief and sympathy and prayer. We do not know why it is so. We do not know why God takes those who seem best fitted to lead his children here. Those on whom special work seems to rest. Why these are taken and the ne'er-do-wall are left, so many times. But we do know that God is love and wi adom, and we abide His will in perfect assurance. "For, they rest from their labors and their works do follow them" were the closing utterances of the voice from Heaven. And so we know, he whom we mourn rests at last. Not, we believe from the activities of joyful service of God, but, from the daily struggle to overcome evil in this life. From the effort to meet the demands of christian living. From the continuous planning to help right the wrongs of an imperfect world. From the alert watchful activity ever necessary in a leader of right causes, to meet opposing forces of evil. From the labors of heart and mind to find some way to have done in the future, that which can not yet be accomplished. It is these things which we can not do that weary us most. Not the things possible to be accomplished, even though they call for continuous drudgery sometimes. But the "voice from Heaven" says from all these labors they "rest." And yet again "For their works do follow them." The development in mind and spirit goes on into the world beyond. The encouraging word or helpful act to the living left behind follows on sometimes in the life redeemed by kindness in need. The effort put forth in the Master's name, to lead sinners to Christ, is many times completed after the life of him who spoke has ceased its utterance on earth forever. The whole guiding motive of a life devoted to right living, leaves its impress upon human souls, and so the works of that life follow on into the world beyond, as souls quickened by Christian influence and so brought into touch with final redemption. The absence, illness and death of our pastor have been matters of special consideration of this church. All uncertainty of future plans which include mutual christian work on earth, are ended. While he "rets from his labor" shall we so continue and energize and supplement all his works here that "they may follow him?" With God's blessing and help I believe this church will go in loving commemoration of him who served these few months with us, in the same high endeavor, and with the same aspirations that he had for us. With the ever confident assurance that this is Christ's own church, and the determination to make it possible for others to say truly of us, "Blessed are the dead which die in We solicit your savings account, whether you are a wage earner or a capitalist. $100 starts an account here. the Lord," "That they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them."

A Battle With Polar Bears cruel story told by a veteran whaler. -How the whaling crew went in search of a whale they had killed, only to find the carecars in possession of a dozen ferocious Polar bears! The battle royal that ensued was a most exciting affair. N the pursuit of the arduous calling of Arctic whaling the crews of whaling ships are often called upon to face extraordinary hazards,eldom, however, after killing their whale, are they obliged to wrest their body from a troop of ravenous Polar bears, angrily dispensing possession of their prize. The thrilling-story of such an unparalleled encounter was marred to me under the following circumstances: It was a lovely evening in June when we swung clear of Port-au-aux-Basques Harbor, and, catching a light land breeze, steered northwards towards the coasts of Labrador. Our craft was a smart Nora Scotia-built schooner of about a hundred and fifty tons, and our crew were picked from a settlement of the nearest modern representatives of the old Norsemen—the sturdy Notwithstanding this hard and perilous mode of life his character had been fashioned into a hearty admiration of this awful beauty, grandeur and terror of the great Arctic solitude. Like many others of his class, he was captivated by the fascinating glamor which the Arctic casts like a spell upon those who have once penetrated its mysteries. An opportunity came to listen to the tale of his varled exploits when suddenly one afternoon the wind grew light, and we ran into a heavy smoke-like bank of grey fog which obscured all around us. When at length we emerged there was no breath of wind. The sun beat down on a sea motionless and becalmed. At this moment, to my great delight; Harry, pulling at his blackened clay pipe, tainting the balmy sea air with pungent odors, seated himself at my side and told me the following tale of a strange adventure that befell him in the Far North: It was in Lancaster Sound, on board the good ship Aurora, that I found myself in the summer of 1896. We were after "right" whales, and had already taken five on this voyage. While nearly all our casks were full to bursting with oil, we had room to stow away the blumber of yet another curses. This the crew were anxious to accomplish as speedily as possible, for after a nightless period, the sun was now beginning to dip each day below the horizon for a few hours at a stretch, and cool fitful northwesters were giving warning of the approach of winter. If only we could secure our booty and turn our course to the south, "with the Newfoundland girls pulling at the tow-rope," as the saying is in the foe'sle, everyone would be happy. For although the seafarer, wherever you find him, cannot remain content ashore for long, one of the greatest of all the pleasures of his calling is the return home with a pocket full of coin after a successful voyage. A good Greenland or Arctic "right" whale is worth a lot of money. "Right" whales are those producing whalebone, and a good specimen is worth at least six hundred to seven hundred pounds. There are other large whales which we let alone—the "finners" or orquales, and even the giant "blue whales," as the biggest of them are not worth one-tenth part of the value of the "right" whale. Of late these valuable prizes, as well as the "sperm" whale, are getting scarce, but in those days they were abundant. Each man was sure to come home with a snug little sum to his credit, what with wages and his share of the "bounty," as the men's narrow percentage of interest in the net profits is termed. "There she blows!" All hearts fairly throbbed for joy as the look-out from the "crow's nest" cheerly shouted the glad news of an enormous "right" whale sighted against the sun in the offing. Blithely the ropes sang out through the tackle-blocks while the men took their places, and as the little flotilla of boats darted away with alacrity from the black sides of the great ship, like so many arrows shot from a bow, a strange gleam came into the men's eyes, and their bronzed faces relaxed in a smile as if they already anticipated their triumph. They made towards a spot where at intervals of from ten to fifteen minutes a white column of spray was seen to shoot high in the air from the extremity of a black rolling mass which glittered in the sun's rays like wet indulnubar. My boat led, and all hands gave me a cheer when I threw the harpoon, which with a heavy thud embedded itself deeply behind the huge central fin of the mighty whale. Those were the "good old days" of whaling. Before the craft was made comparatively easy by modern methods; be After the stroke the whale suddenly headed away from the boats, sent up an enormous jet of water and blood some twenty feet in the air, lashed the water-into foam with a terrible flurry of his gigantic tall, and then suddenly dipped beneath the surface of the ocean. To such a vast depth did he plunge in his agony of pain and fright that two boats were compelled to join their lines to ours; and three times he dived, staying under nearly twenty minutes on each occasion, before we could get near enough to lance him in a vital part. Unfortunately, as he sped away he drew on the boats towards a large field of ice known to be in the vicinity before it was actually sighted, because of the extraordinary coldness perrading the atmosphere. As the custom is with a wounded whale, he made to get under the lee in hot haste. The only chance for success was to finish him before he disappeared beneath the floe. He would have to come up once more to breathe before he could dive beneath the ice-floor, and we got ready to dispatch him. Soon the line began to grow slack, and up, up he came with startling speed. For a few minutes there was an awful flurry on the surface, while our boat became entirely obscured by the flying spume. The creature had been pierced with lances until the water was reddened with blood, yet so padded with fat was he after his summer's gorging on herrings that the lances failed to reach a vital organ. To our great chagrin he dived, under the ice, and as the boats could now no longer follow him beyond the edge of the ice-field, the order was reluctantly given to cut the line, abandon the prize, and return to the ship. Very keen was the disappointment of the men. Here was a fine whale "gone to the deuce". Gone, too, cut clean away from the grasp of the men, was half a ton of good whalebone. However, there was a feeling pervading the fo'c's'le all that evening that I would not yet give, up, but would organize a search party, and each one hoped that he might be one of those chosen to go out to try and retrieve the lost booty. On the morning following, after thinking the matter over, I decided that the whale must be dead, as the lances had been driven well home, and had drawn so much blood. Thereupon I picked out six of the best men on board to help me hunt for the carcass. Two rifles were stowed in the boat, and enough biscuit to last the seven of us for a couple of days. All day the men rowed hard, while I swept the sea with my glasses. The vast ice-lee had slowly drifted southward, and it was a long time ere we came up with it, which we did towards nightfall. In the clear water behind its wake we made out an island of black rock fringed with a wide tawny sand beach, and soon we sighted something unusual on a yellow bar that ran far out from the island among the beating waves. Presently, to our great joy, it revealed itself as the stranded body of the dead whale. The men were delighted at the prospect of recovering the valuable whalebone, for here was prize enough even if it became necessary to abandon the blubber. That night we camped in a sheltered cove of the island, and needing no rocking, for we were tired out after our long pull. What was our astonishment next morning when we found our prize in possession of a company of Polar bears! There were a round dozen of them—not to speak of a couple of yearling cubs which kept close to their dams—all fighting, snarling and tearing at the flesh of the whale. It was evident that a pitched battle would be necessary to decide whether the carcass belonged to us who had killed the whale or to the bears who were now in full possession. Bigger than grizzlies, at times raising to their full height as dancing bears are trained to do, the monsters before us bore out the reputation of Lancaster Sound for its extremely large breed of bears, noted for their ravenous propensities and extreme daring and ferocity. It was at the elb of the tide-dead low water—when we decided to make our attack. The boat was brought round and headed towards the sand-spit where lay the stranded body of the whale. The feeding bears had apparently scented battle from afar, for two of the biggest took to the water and swam far out towards the boat. These became an easy prey, for they were dispatched while swimming alongside; but there still remained ten, and of these ten, five were indeed formidable monsters. Seeing the fate of their companions, the remainder of those which had entered the water returned to the beach. Five, lined up in front of the whale, while the other five, including the two she-bears with their cubs, fell to the rear of the carcass—exactly like a fighting corps held in reserve. The receding tide had left a broad border of shelving sand, so that when our party landed we were still some sixty yards from the front squad of bears. A trusted shot at one end of the line and myself at the other were armed each with a rifle and had alty round of ball cartridge between us. The other men were equipped with long whalers' lances. I opened the conflict by dropping on my right knee and taking deliberate aim at the largest bear. There was a moment's spate. Then came the sharp report of the rifle followed by an angry roar, and through the smoke, the bear, only slightly wounded, made a rush at us. The spearmen promptly fell back, but the other rifleman knelt down with great coolness and discharged his gun at the furious animal. Again, however, the wound was not fatal. Springing to the feet the man made a lunge at the infuriated bear with his empty gun, but with a swift blow the great brute sent the rifle flying in the air, and with another laid low the unfortunate sailor. The forepaws of the bear were laid on the shoulders of the prostrate man, and the blind feet were being brought to bear with repeated efforts to rip his tough tarpulin jacket, when, carried away by my excitement, I pushed up and, with the muzzle of my gun held almost at the ear of the savage beast, literally blew its head to fragments. Unmindful of a few hurts and a stream of blood trickling from his face and neck, the fallen man, to our amazement, jumped to his feet and, apparently half-crazy by his recent mauling, performed something very like a war-dance on the dead body of his late assailant. The bears now appeared to be somewhat cowed by the death of their comrades. The reserve line was weakened by the desertion of the two she-bears with their cubs, and the four monsters in the front rank did not seem much inclined to take the aggressive. All wild beasts, however, will usually forget their fear of man on three occasions: at mating time, when their young are in danger, and when their food is threatened. There was nothing for it, therefore, but to keep blazing away at the front guard until all were wounded. Finally, I ordered an advance of my little force, whereupon the disconcerted animals suddenly broke and fled, carrying away the rear line in their retreat. The bears were utterly routed. We were now kept busy for hours in skimming the slain bears and in cutting out the whalebone from the jaws of the prize. Then, well satisfied with our work, we loaded down the boat with our spoils and proceeded on our way to rejoin the ship. But our perils were not yet over. A breeze sprang up which rapidly developed into a gale, accompanied by blinding sleet and snow showers, until our position grew hazardous in the extreme. Great white-capped waves broke over the heavy-laden boat, and we were kept incessantly occupied bailing out the water. Nevertheless we rowed on doggedly for hours, until at length our wrists grew swollen, and it really seemed as if out of the peril of the bears we had rushed into a greater danger still. Falner and fainter grew our hopes of safety, as the gale rose and the billows rushed past mildly, driven to fury by the scourring blasts. Suddenly, through a rift in the driving storm-clouds the awful form of a towering iceberg was seen, rearing its glistening columns against the dull greyness of the snow-darkened sky. The weather-side of the iceberg received the full shock of the long, grey-green rollers as they swung up and broke again and again over its shelving ice strand, while the steep ice-slide, sinking sheer into the ocean depths, kept the water there as calm as some landlocked harbor. Quickly we seized the proffered opportunity. By herculean efforts the boat was brought up against the full force of opposing wind and tide, and safely steered to the lee-side of the iceberg. Then the ice anchor was got out and she was made fast to the giant berg. The next danger which confronted us was that in the long wait we might perish of cold. There was coffee aboard and fresh water, but how were we to manage for fuel and cooking utensils? I thought for a moment, and then ordered the men to pare off wood shavings from the thwarts, flooring and gunwale of the boat until we collected a good-sized parcel of fuel. For a stove we perforated the bottom of a large kettle, hanging a smaller one over the fire. Soon we were able to pass round a draught of steaming hot coffee, which wonderfully cheered our spirits. This was repeated towards the break of day. Then the storm gradually subsided, and we knew that the danger was over. Once more we steered our course to the ship, and finally arrived safely with the rich prize of the whalebone which had cost us so much labor and peril. Some of the rest of the crew were anxious to be allowed to visit the derelict carcass for another bear hunt, but the captain was known to hold white bears in high respect, and if surprised nobody when he announced his immediate intention of proceeding homewards. And so the ship's course was set towards the Straits of Belleisle, where, like a jagged tooth grazing at the Arctic Current, the island of Newfoundland rears its rocky bastions out of the cold, ice-laden seas. The snow-white skin of one of the biggest of the bears now decorates the little front, parlor of my cabin, and furnishes an excuse for a frequent revival of the story of the battle between a boat's crew and a dozen Polar bears.—The Wide World Magazine.

A MUSICAL KITE Kites are extremely popular throughout Central and South America, where they are called El Comte (the comet); and, many while are fashioned like ours, most of them are much more peculiar, both in shape and design. Bamboo sticks form the framework and usually the covering is tissue paper. A fringe of this paper ornaments some, and the boy who is musically inclined extends the sticks above the paper and stretches strips of hide across them. In a strong breeze these give forth a beautiful sound, like an aeolian harp. A musical chord can be made by tightening or loosening the strings. Sometimes the surface of the kite is palated to represent the face of a man, when the fringe around the sides has the appearance of a beard and is trimmed accordingly. Sometimes, too, says the Brooklyn Engle, a tin knife cut in shape of a crescent with inner edge sharpened, is attached to the tall, and the owner tries to cut the strings of any other kites that come in its way. Much skill is often shown in attacking or escaping from the pirates, as the knife-talled kites are called.— Philadelphia Record. A CORK THAT WALKS. Lots and lots of our boys and girls have seen a match box, a horse fly, a stone fence, and even a board walk, but we are pretty sure that very few of you have ever seen a cork walk. Still, under certain circumstances, a cork can walk, and this is the way to bring about that unusual spectacle. Get as large a cork as you can find, and stick side by side in one end a pair of flat headed nails. Then get two forks and insert them, one in each side, near the other, end of the cork, as shown in the picture. Now get a strip of wood four or five CORK WALKING DOWN THE BOARD. feet long and about two inches wide, and make an inclined plane of it by piling books or boxes under one end. Place the cork on this, standing it on its nail legs, with one fork hanging down on either side of the strip of wood. Start the fork swinging from side to side, and you will see the cork walk ferkily down the board, taking ridiculous, stiff-legged little steps on its nail legs. -New York Evening Mall. A GAME OF FOOTBALL It was such a pretty game of football! You have seen your big brother, perhaps, or some other big fellow, running and kicking a great rubber ball, and all the other big fellows running and trying to get it away—you know what a scramble and tangle and pile of boys it was pretty soon! The game I saw was played by fluffy white and yellow chickens, and it was a springtime game instead of November football. This is the way it was. Little Isabel's mother had taken her down into the sunny chicken yard to see the chickens, and on the way Isabel had picked some blue violets in the grass. Well, these little chickens had no kind, careful, anxious biddy-mothers to keep them out of trouble. They had been born all together in a great box that has a particular kind of name—an incubator—not at all like a nice, old-fashioned straw nest. But all little chickens are very sociable, very friendly, and these seemed to think that every body who came into the chicken yard had come to help take care of them; and so, when Isabel sat down on the warm earth in the spring sunshine, they ran up to her and then on to her and all over her little lap and stood on her shoulders. At first Isabel held up her hands to keep them off; but her mother said little chickens could not hurt her, and perhaps they wanted some of her violets. So Isabel drew a violet out of the bunch and held it up to a little speckled puffball that had just jumped upon her arm. Quickly he took it in his bill and ran with it, and after him ran every one of the rest. Up and down the yard they chased, running, and flying with their tiny yellow legs and little wings. Which one finally got the violet Isabel could not see. It was such a scramble and tangle, such a pile of feathers and bright eyes! Whenever some of the chicks gave up, they came over to little Isabel for another violet, and then another game began. There never was a better football. Nobody got hurt! And how excited and happy the chickens were, their little, small chirpy voices sounding like some sort of sweet music. Seven, eight, nine footballs the little chickens ran and scrambled for, running back every time to Isabel for another violet as soon as the one they had had was captured and eaten. All that spring little Isabel called every violet she found a "chicky football."-Gertrude B. Potter, in Little Folks. DOLLS' STYLES IN DRESS. The demand for handsome gowns for dolls has sprung up in the last year or two. It began in a small way, but has increased in a most remarkable manner. Of course, there are many hundreds of thousands of little girls who will have to content themselves with the old-fashioned dolls with the store clothes, but the very young ladies who reside in the big houses are not satisfied unless they have one of the imported productions, with the latest wardrobe. The head of one of these doll dress-making establishments was asked the other day how it happened that there was a demand for custom made doll's clothes. "Some one—I couldn't say who—started the idea that the dolls of the little girls of the '400' should, be gowned, in the latest modes," he said. "The best dolls and the dowdiest dresses come from Germany. Now, what was there to do? Why, that was easy. We still bought our dolls in Germany, but we made their clothes here. We began it in a small way last year. The past season the demand was so great that we could barely fill all the orders just before the holidays. "Of course; these German dolls with smart American dresses come high. This one, for instance"—and he held up a doll about a foot long, exquisitely dressed in a blue silk dinner gown—"this one would cost you $40. Others are as high as $100, but that includes three or four dresses. Not long ago we had an order for a bride doll, and an elaborate trousseau. There was a magnificent wedding gown of white satin, a traveling dress, a house dress or two, a ball dress, a dinner gown, wrappers, kimonos, pajamas, all kinds of shoes, slippers, silk stockings, and lingerie. Then there was a fine trunk and a traveling bag. In addition to this, there were parasols and handkerchiefs, and, in fact, everything that should go to make up a bride's wardrobe in high life. "You must know, though, that clothes are not the only things that have become necessary to the happiness of millionaire dolls. No doll that has any respect for itself will think of getting along nowadays without a fully equipped bath. We have them here, as you can see." And the doll man showed a miniature bathroom with all the appurtenances that are to be found in the toilet of the finest women. "Then, of course, the dolls have jewelry," went on the head dolls' dressmaker, "and they have brass bedstads and beveled. French glass dressing cases, and—" "But are the little girls who possess them really any happier than the little girls who have the old-fashioned, shabby rag dolls?" simply tag dolls: The head dolls' dressmaker looked hurt-for a moment.

According to a New York paper, "Sir Mortimer Durand is trying very hard to appreciate the intricacies of American humor," and it represents him as saying of the American joke that "I laugh when I hear them, and then when they sink in I laugh; again." That is the worst of the typical American joke, that they can only be enjoyed by a sort of intellectual ruminant. There is a New York joke at an Englishman's expense, however, which even Englishman will enjoy.

Tri- $ \therefore $ PASSE=PARTOUT FRAMING $ \therefore $ HE rapidly increasing number of beautiful prints of various kinds, which in themselves are inexpensive, but of such artistic quality, form a valuable help to the decorating of the study or den, often causes the owner to wish that framing was less expensive, and that some method could be devised which would permit of the use of these art objects upon the walls in some more attractive and permanent manner, than by fastening with pins or thumb tacks. This can easily be accomplished by the means of the passe-partout, a method which is at the same time not only inexpensive, but serves to give the print a finished appearance, and preserves it fully as satisfactorily as if framed expensively. In order to make passe-partout frames properly a board should be prepared as follows: Select a smooth board without warp two or three inches longer and wider than the largest frame desired. Finish the two longer sides by nailing on the edge a narrow strip which should project above the working side of the board not more than one-sixteenth of an inch. This will be found sufficient to prevent the glass used from slipping off the board, and will provide a resting shoulder against which the glass may be pressed during the making of the frame. On one side of the board draw a line at a distance of one-half inch from the projecting-edge; at the other side of the board a line should be drawn one-fourth inch from the opposite projecting edge. These lines should be marked plainly and accurately, as they form the guide lines upon which the binding strips are placed, and if they vary in distance the binding strips cannot be placed accurately in position. The binding strips should be selected from some strong paper or gummed binding cloth that will either harmonize with the print to be framed, or with the paper which may be used as a mat to give the print a suffleight margin. For this purpose I use the lighter grades of cover papers which are cut into strips by the use of the common yardstick and a very sharp knife. It will be understood that the placing of a smooth sheet of binder's board underneath the cover paper will render the cutting of the binding strips much easier. The strips should be made two inches wide if a large size frame (eleven by fourteen) is to be made; for smaller sizes a narrower-strip may be used, but the wide strip is much easier to handle and gives added strength to the frame. For backing the ordinary straw board is all that is required. This can often be found among the waste pasteboard boxes in the home. In fact, parts of old boxes are preferable to new stock bought at the paper warehouse for the reason that new stock is rarely thoroughly dried, and I have known instances where the drying of the backing board has caused such a warping tendency that the cover glass has been broken. The backing boards should be cut to the exact size of the glass which is to be used in framing. Any deviation in the measurement of the glass and the backing board will result in an unsightly frame that the most skillful worker cannot avoid. The hangers for the frame can usually be secured at stores where picture frames are made. If these are not procurable, the small brass rings can be purchased at hardware stores, and narrow strips of tin can be used to form the loops on which the rings are fashioned. These, strips should be fully two inches in length and should be threaded through the rings, then doubled so that the ring will hang midway between the ends, which are passed through narrow slits in the backing board and then spread in the manner of a paper fastener and hammered down until they are perfectly flat. To make the frame proceed as follows: Place the glass upon the board so that it will be in perfect register with the projecting edge. The binding strips should have been previously moistened and the surplus waterblotted off. With a bristle brush apply some good paste to one of the binding strips and work the paste in thoroughly, so that the strip will be well saturated with the paste so well worked in that it will not ooze out upon the glass. This precaution will not be necessary if a prepared gummed strip is used. The binding strip, which should be of the exact length of the side of the glass to be covered, should now be laid upon the glass, using the line described above as a guide. Press the strip gently with the fingers until partial adhesion results, and then rub in perfect contact with a soft cloth. The glass should be then turned and the opposite side covered in the same manner. In binding the last two sides tiny strips of paper should be placed on the edges of the binding strips already in position so that the paste from the remaining strips will not soil the corners which are to be mitered. In finishing the last sides the outer strips should be mitered by the use of a miter pattern made from a thin piece of wood or cardboard. This pattern is laid upon the binding strips after they are firmly placed in position and the outer strip cut with a very sharp knife. The corners, with the underlying protecting paper, can then be removed and the last binding strips rubbed into through contact. final binding with the print and the backing board. The glass should be removed from the board, and a clean paper spread upon the board upon which the glass is placed face downward. Upon this lay the print with its mat—if any—face downward, place upon this the backing board, taking care that the hangers are in the right position or the framed print may be found, when finished, to be arranged for hanging in a reversed position. Great care should be taken to see that the print, the mat, and the backing board are in perfect register. Paste should then be liberally applied to the projecting edge of the binding strip on the righthand side, and when thoroughly pliable the strip should be closely drawn over the edges of the frame, onto the back of the backing board, and then rubbed in contact with the soft cloth. The frame should then be turned so that the lefthand side occupies the place of the right side now completed, and this side and the ends treated in the same manner. To make passe-partout frames so perfectly that they will have the appearance of frames made by the professional frame maker requires only ordinary mechanical ability, and the care which is required in doing even the simplest things well. If the instructions given are carefully followed, it will be found that choice prints, book covers and posters can be made into attractive ornaments for the home at a minimum cost, with the added satisfaction that the work has about it that personal quality and interest which is never felt when the work has been done by others.-Scientific American.

Well-meaning philanthropists have long endeavored to induce the red man to adopt sensible names, such as those by which pale faces are designated. They have not succeeded, says the Washington Post, with a considerable number of Senator Gamble's South Dakota constituents, as an amendment he has proposed to the Indian appropriation bill fully demonstrates. This amendment proposes reward for various good Indians for service and sacrifice of pónies in accomplishing the rescue of Mrs. Julia Wright, Mrs. Emma Deley and six children, who were white captives in the custody of the White Lodge band of Sioux near the mouth of Grand River in 1862. Here are the names of the proposed beneficaries: Pretty Bear, Chief Martin Charger, Swift Bird, Strike the Fire, Kills and Comes, Four Bear, Sitting Bear, Charging Dog and One Rib, of Cheyenne River reservation; Fast Walker, Mdoka, Red Dog, Black Eagle; Don't Know How, Black War Club, Fool Dog and Walking Crane, of Crow Creek reservation, and Mad Bear, of Standing Rock reservation.

We are all well and sound. "Exuse the writing, because you keep coming into the room. Your loving son, WILLIAM." The mother said she would send a dime to the one who wrote first, and Master William had determined to beat his brothers, so he literally "took time by the forelock."—Lippincott's.

INTHURUETING A TANFON From Kingston, Jamaica, you may go down the harbor, on his calm day, to see the Sunken City. You look through a box with a hole in the top and a glass pane in the bottom; the box is pressed into the water, over the side of the boat. What you see are the submerged ruins of old Port Royal of the Buccaneers, the wicked-cast town in the West Indies, which an earthquake overwhelmed in 1022 on account of its infrequities, as many devout persons believed. The town slid down the shore into deep water, like a ship sliding off the ways. The people went with the town, and the waters closed over them. There the town stands to-day, after two centuries, in what might be described as a fair state of submarine preservation. By turns we looked down through this box with the glass pane in the bottom, and saw the misty, sea-green outline of the old church walls and the stubs of towers, with long ropes of seaweed festooned about them. There were the sunken courtyards, the huge stones of an old fort, and what looked like the upturned muzzle of a cannon, with schools of fishes idly polling about them. One of our mulatto boatmen cast his eye round the horizon. "Good day to hear de bell," he said. "Ca'm all de mo'nin." "What bell?" we asked. "Dole oe cathedral bell that hang in de tower, down under water. It ring on ca'm mo'nln'. Yo' put yo' ear to de water—so, wif yo' hand to catch de sound—so. Den you' hear it go doom! doom! down dere, all slow, like when de town sink." We tried the experiment; but perhaps our Northern ears were not sufficiently acute, or maybe we lacked faith. We spent some time trying to hear the allegled tolling; then, while we were looking down into the sea-green mysteries, one of the younger members of our party suddenly exclaimed, "Here's a tarpon!" The boatmen had said that tarpon were sometimes taken here, although usually farther in, nearer the mouth of the Cobre River. Our student friend was madly rigging his rod and line, for fishing had been one of the anticipated pleasures of this trin down the harbor. And at the second cast he hooked this stray tarpon. For the first few moments the fish appeared not to have felt the hook. "Got away, I guess," some one remarked. "No, he hasn't!" cried the fisherman. "He is hooked—and he is a big one, too!" Just then the fish made a rush and leaped high in the air, twenty yards away. The next instant he passed under the loop, a flash of glittering light, so swift that the eye barely followed him. The reel sang, and the hissing line was drawn beneath us. Again we caught sight of him a yard in the air on the other side, his jaw snapping. The next moment he was coming again, and this time leaped completely over us—over the boat—showering everybody in it with salt water. We were nearly upset, for the two ladies of the party sprang up from their seats, screaming. The fisherman sought to cast off the encircling line. Before he could accomplish anything, the tarpon had turned and was coming for the boat again. We had a dazzling glimpse of him in mid-air alongside; and this time he came clear aboard, went over my head, landed in the bottom of the 'bout at the feet of one of the ladies, and laid the nearest boatman's cheek open with a cut from one of his sharp fins. At last the boatmen flung a sail from the locker over the spasmodically bounding creature, and we suppressed him. Our appearance at the end of the bout was rather forlorn. We were wet and spattered by ensanguined drops and smutches, by fish-scales and all the grime of the boat's bottom. But we could not help sharing the enthusiasm of the young fisherman who had caught his first tarpon.—C. A. Stephens, in Youth's Companion. MEETING A BAD MAN'S BLUFF. "I have never seen a desperado, or man-killer, who, if he thought an antagonist were ready for him with weapons) equal to his own, would not back out of a fight," remarked Senator Stewart, of Nevada, at the Arlington. "There was Sam Brown, the champion bad man of Nevada in the old days, who was dreaded by the community about like the public here would dread" the turning loose on the avenue of a Numidian lion. This Sam Brown was a giant, six feet four inches high, 250 pounds avoidduplos, and as ferocious a looking man as ever-mortal eye beheld. He looked more like a dangerous beast than a human being. Killing was his trade, and one winter in Virginia City he slew sixteen men. Timid folk shuddered at sight of him. "Knowing he was going to be present at a lawsuit in which I had been retained by a client, whose interests were opposed to 'the desperado, I thought it best on the day of the trial to put a couple of old-fashioned derringers in my overcoat pocket. Sure enough. Brown was on hand in the little room in which the case was heard, and when I saw him enter the idea, came into my mind that he had come to make me his latest, victim. His favorite weapon was a big bow knife, and the knowledge that the villain meant to stab me to death made me feel exceedingly, uncomfortable. It was enough to make the bravest heart quail. But I knew it would never do to show the creature that he had me scared, and, looking him squately in the eye, I brought the pocket of my overcoat around to where he could see the full shape of both my dieringers. My hand was grasping the handle, and I was ready to shoot on the second. These pistols shot with terrified force, and would knock down even if they did not kill. "He was watching me like a hawk and I knew his eye fall on the weapon. Before this he had been fumbling at his knife, but immediately he ceased and presently he walked out of the room. When the business was over, I found him in the front of the house which was fitted up as a saloon, in the act of taking a drink. With a smile intended to be amiable, he advanced to meet me, holding out both hands and declaring that I was the sort of man he admired, invited me to join him. A week later he asked me to represent him in a mining suit."—Washington Post. LION SHOOTING. Mr. Percy Cross Standing describes in the Christmas number of the Pall Mall Magazine some hunting adventures he shared with the famous cricketer in India: "In the very small hours I was aroused from sweet slumber by Ranjitshihl," he says, "who rushed into my tent in a greater state of excitement than I had ever witnessed in him before. 'For the Lord's sake, get up, man, get up!' he cried, dragging me from under the sheltering mosquito curtains. 'Do you know what has happened? No, I did not know. But I rushed from the tent in his wake, to find that a lion and lioness had just been into camp, had seized and killed one of our horses while we were all asleep, had almost entirely devoured the carcass, and had then made good their escape across the river. The remains of the horse (which had been tethered by itself) presented a sickening spectacle, little being left save the head and the haunches. Disturbed by the flashing of torehes ere they had finished their meal, the lions had rushed right through our camp between the lines of tents and had afterward, with consummate audacity, returned to finish their supper. It had meant short shrift for any of us who had been picked up that night; for our sentries were fast asleep, and in any case they could not have made any very formidable show with the muzzle-loading rifles with which a beneficent Government consents to arm the infantry of India's ruling chiefs. "About 11 o'clock the familiar roaring broke out from the further bank of the river. The night was dark. The roaring continued at intervals for a couple of hours—so did the carefully regulated bleating of a terrified goat, which had been tied up to a sapling. But in the meantime the lion and his mate had stealthily passed over the river, and about 1.15 a.m. the lioness suddenly emerged from the darkness, selzed the goat, sapling and all, and disappeared as swiftly as she had come. The occupants of the machans had been fitfully dozing, but now they were well awake. A few seconds later the lion appeared. He had been to look at the horse's skeleton. He was in no particular hurry. He was a little puzzled at the non-appearance of his wife, that was all. But the delay was his own undoing. "Crack! went the expresses. The lion staggered, convulsively, then disappeared in the dark." CALIFORNIA LION ROPED. A fight worthy of being recounted in any tale of thrilling adventure was enacted last week on the Morrow ranch, which lies on the Mount Hamilton range, extending from the observatory south for many miles, says the San Jose Daily Mercury. During the past month E. F. Robinson, foreman of the ranch, had noticed that their young colts were decreasing in number with alarming rapidity. Almost every morning the mangled carcass of a colt would be found. Tracks around the slaughtered animals told the story of the mountain lion. A close watch was kept, but the depredations continued as before, and the lion evaded all efforts to kill him or drive him away. One morning Robinson, with a bunch of cowboys, was rounding up some stock in a remote section of the ranch, when the dog with them started a large animal in a thicket. They tried to send the dog into the bushes, but he cowered away. Suddenly an immense California lion left the cover and ran up a large oak tree near by. There were no weapons in the crowd, and Robinson was afraid to send one of the men to the wagon for a rifle lest they lose sight entirely of the animal. Accordingly they formed a cordon around the tree and let out their riatas at the lion. The animal stood at bay and warded off the rawhides with his paws. The men had almost despaired of accomplishing anything when Selby Trimbl, the crack rider of the Morrow ranch, volunteered to leave the circle and climb a nearby tree to endeavor to cast the rope in a different manner. He did this at the risk of his life. After repeated failures he succeeded when the lion's head was turned the opposite way. The other riatas fell quickly one after the other, and the animal was hung then and there. The skin is in beautiful condition and measures over seven feet from tip to tip. It is at present at the Santa Clara tannery. Snow blindness is common in Tibet. Many British soldiers-were affected by it during their recent service in that country. READ DOWN.

How "All Men Are Born Equal." The woman born beautiful doesn't bother to educate her intelligence, is spoiled by flattery, is unable to hold the men she attracts; the woman born homely is driven to develop her character and her mind, and so more than overcomes her handicap as against her pretty sister. The man born clever loses because he wins too easily and has not incentive to that sustained effort which alone achieves success; the man born "slow" develops patience, assiduity, balance and, best of all, tenacity. It comes near to being a universal rule that strong points and weak ones just about offset each other in any human being at the start, and that the development is a matter for the man himself to determine. And there is no fatal haptic cap except the disposition to regard one's handicap as fatal—Saturday Evening Post "I have been refused by three girls since Christmas," said the impressionable young man.

Shoes, or their equivalent, are of a certainty even more ancient than gloyes, for they were a necessity of locomotion, while the other was but a luxury. Sometimes they were made of skins, sometimes of papyrus, as in Egypt. Often they were glided and decked with jewels, and the most expert artists of the day were employed to decorate the foot-coverings of wealthy patricians, consuls, emperors and their favorites. In no article of attire have, more vagaries been shown. Today a lady who desires to be considered in the height of fashion wears shoes pointed as much as possible; but in the time of, Queen Mary the taste was all the other way, and it was found necessary to issue a royal proclamation prohibiting shoes with toes wider than six inches. But perhaps the most extraordinary development in the way of footgear were the "chopines". Introduced by the ladies of Venice to make themselves taller than they really were. The articles were really a kind of stilts made of wood and leather, and sometimes reached the aburd, height of twelve inches. Even a trained acrobat would have difficulty in walking on such things, and ordinary women had such trouble with them that when the yattempted a promenade they required the assistance of a servant at each side and another behind to keep them from falling.-Redfern's "Royal and Historic Shoes."

Marine, of Colorado Springs Began to Fear the Worst-Doan's Kidney, Pills Saved Her. Mrs. Sarah Marine, of 428 St. Urain street, Colorado Springs, Col., President of the Glen Eyrie Club, writes: "I suffered for three years with severe backache. The doctors told me my kidneys were affected and prescribed medicines for me, but I found that it was only a waste of time and money to take them, and began to fear that I would never get well. A friend advised [Pictorial portrait of a woman] me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. Within a week after I began using them I was so much better that I decided to, keep up the treatment, and when I had used a little over two boxes I was entirely well. I have now enjoyed the best of health for more than four months, and words can but poorly express my gratitude." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.
