WISE WORDS. It ia tlic little trials that test. When we worry wo do not trust. 1 Tho average man will blame his wife for all his misfortunes. Store people die from eating too much than from eating too little. No one can be happy who is not doing something to help other people, i It is hard to remember tho good qualities of those who forget us. It takes some people a long time to find out just how big a dollar is. It is hard to find a man who hasn’t got gome kind of a streak of laziness. It will puzzle posterity to make out why some men have been given statues. The only way to get people to live right is to first get them to believe right. . Love is the only thing in this life that man needs that he can not get for him- self. > One of tho greatest victories possible in this life is to be able to say no to your self. I Water never rises above its level, and no man’s life ever rises higher than his belief. One of the hardest things in the world to do is for one woman to deceive another. If you want to make yourself miserable, tho easiest way to do it is to become a fault-finder. Nothing but having a hard time our- eclvcs will enable us to sympathize very much with other people. If there wasu’t any money in this world it would bo hard to find out just how mean some men are. It is a grand thing for us when we find out that we are not responsible for all the work in tho world. There isn't one man in ten thousand who knows what kind of a man ho would bo if he had plenty of money.—Indian- apolis (Ind.) Ham's Uorn. REV.

How many of those assigned to “quarrels,” to "unknown,” to “jealousy,” to “infanticide,” to “resisting arrest,'^ to “self- defense,” to “insanity” and Jo “outrages” are due to liquor either as principal oraux- •iliary cause, we cannot tell. But taking the causes just assigned, We find that 48(5 mur ders (eleven per cent.) are due to liquor.

Though tho writers may sel dom or never have felt the cold touch of the snowflake on their cheek, they had in sight two mountains, the tops of which were sug gestive. Other kings sometimes take olT their crowns, but Lebanon and Mount Her- mon nil the year round and through the ages never lift the coronets of crystal from their foreheads. The first time we find a deep fall of snow In the Bible is where Samuel describes a fight between Benaiah and a lion in a pit, and though the snow may have crimsoned Under the wounds of both man and bruto the shaggy monster rolled over dead anj the giant was victor. But the snow is not fully recognized in the Bible until God in terrogates Job, the scientist, concerning its wonders, saying, “Hast thou entered into the treasuresof the snow?” ■ ^ .rather think that Job may have exam ined the snowflake with a mieroseope; for, although it is supposed that the mieroseope was invented long after Job’s time, there had been wonders of glass long before tho microscope and telescope of later dav were thought of. So long ago as when the Coi- Iseuin was in its full splendor, Nero sat in the emperor’s box of that great theatre which held a hundred thousand people, ami looked at the combatants through a gem in his finger ring which brought everythin-' close up to his eye. P’our hundred years before Christ, in tho year, what an outcry would he raised, despits its remedial qualities, and how quickly the necessary restrictions would he applied by the law.

But liquor is different from lymph: it lias “vested interests” and a political pull.— The Voice. A Care for Animal Lockjaw. f A course of experiments in the Hy gienic Institute at Berliu has demonstra ted that animals suffering from either diphtheria or tetanus can be bo cured by the inoculation of the scrum from tho blood of animals already infected. It is claimed, first, that the blood of rabbits protected from tetanus possesses the property of destroying the tetanus poison; second, that this property it possesses by the non-ccllular serum obtained from the blood; third, that this property is of so constant a nature that it also remains ac tive in the organism of other animals, so that notable therapeutic effects are pro duced by the transfusion of blood or se rum; and, fourth, that the property of destroying the tetanus virus is absent' In the blood of those animals which are nol protected against tet-anus.—Chicago News Cause of Rheumatism An add which exists in sour milk and cider, calle.l lactic acid, is believed by physicians to be tbo caj^c of rheumatism. Accumulating in the blood, it at tacks the fibrous tissues in the joints, and cawee agonizing pains. What is needed is a remedy to neutralize the acid, and to so invigorate the kidneys and liver that all waste will be carried off. We can honestly recommend Hood’s Sarsaparilla for these purposes.

Whether through magnifying instru ment or with unaided oye I cannot say, but I am sure that Job somehow went through the galleries of the snowflake and counted its pillars and found wonders, raptures, mys teries, theologies, majesties, infinities walk ing up and down its to.-ridors, ns a result ot tlie question which the Lord had asked him, “Hast thou entered into the treasures of th-j Bnmvv” Oh, it is a wonderous meteor I Memboldt studied it in tho Andes, twelve thousand feet above the level of tho sea. De Saussure re veled among these meteors in the Alps, and Dr. Hcoivsby counted ninety-six varieties of snowflake amid the arctics. They are in shape of stars, in shajio of coronets, in shapj ot cylinders; are globular, are hexagonal, lire pyramidal, are castellated. After a fresh full of snow, in one walk you crush under your feet, Tiiilleries, Windsor castles. St. ranis St. Peters, St. Marks, cathedrals. Alhambrus and Sydenham palaces innumer able. I know it depends much on our own condition what impression these flying meteors of the snow make. I shall not forget two rough and unpre tending wood cuts which I saw In my boy hood side by side; one a picture of a prosper ous iurmhouse, with all signs of comfort, and a lad warmly clothed looking out of the door upon the first flurry of snow, and his niicd no doubt filled with tho sound of jin- gliug sloigli bells and the frolic with playfel lows in the deep bankg, and he, clapping his bnndsmid shouting, “It snowsl it snows!” Th" other sketch was of a boy, haggard and hoilow eyed with hunger, looking from the broken door of a wretched home, and seeing in th" falling flakes prophecy of more cold an 1 loss bread and greater privation, wring ing ics hands and with tears rolling down his won cheeks crying, “Oh, my God! it snows! it snowsl” Out of the abundance that characterizes most of our homes may there he speedy relief to all whom this win ter findsin wantaud exposure. A 'id now I propose, for your spiritual and ev. . nsting profit, if you will accept my guid So: . to take you through some of these won- de: i f crystalliration. And notice first God In tin littiei. You may take alpenstock and Cio—the Mer del!lace, the sea of ice, and IP- iid Mont Blanc, which rises into the <1! i.ids like a pillar of the great white Throu?, tn w irk arctic explorer ascend the mountains ar 1.1 i tho north pole, and see glaciers a tho 1 ndfeet high grinding against glaciers th ' tlicusnud feet high. But I will take y-i u < n a legs pretentious journey and show you Godin the snowflake. There is room enorgh between its pillars for tho great Je ll, v 1.1 to stand. in that one frozen drop on the li;' of your linger you may find the throne fooin of the Almighty. 1 take up the snow fc niy hand and see the coursers of celestial dominion pawing these crystal pavements. Vke telescope is grand, but 1 must confess Shut f qoi quite as much interested in tho ftikr xado. The one reveals the universe an.jvc u5; the otlnr just as great a universe beneath us. Bub the t?l?sc>p3 overwhelms Me. while the microscope comforts me. What you v ent and 1 want especially is a God in Utt'es. If we were srraphic or archangelic In our natures we would want to study God in th« great; but such small, weak, short- live i beings as you and I are want to find God in the little*. When I see the Maker of the universe giv ing Himself to the architecture of a snow- flake, and making it; shafts, its domes, its curv es, its walls, its irradiations so perfect I •onciude He will look after our insignificant ftffaim. And if wo arc of more value that. & sparrow, most certainly wo are of more Value than nn inanimate snowflake. So the Uibl.3 would chiefly impress us with God in the littles. It doc* not say, “Consider the d i.ds,’’ but it says, “Consider the lilies.” It do’s not say, “Behold tho tempests!” but •'Behold the fowls!' and it applauds a cup ot Cold water and the widow’s two mites, and pa vs the hairs of your head are all numbered. , Do not fear, t orefore, that you are going tc I |>e lost in the crowd. Do not think that be- ; cause you estimate yourself as only ont ! snow .‘lake among u three days’ January snow storm that you will be forgotten. The birth and death of n drop of chilled vapor is at i certainly regarded by the Lord as the crea- ; tion ana demolition of a planet. Nothing is ! big to God and nothing is small. What makes the honey industries of Souti' Carolina such a source of livelihood aud wealth? It is because God teaches the lady- bug to make au opening in the rind of tho apricot for the be**, who cannot otherwise get at the juices of the fruit. So God sends the lady buz ah ml to prepare the way fo the honey bee. He teaches the ant to bite each grain of corn that she puts in the ground for winter fool in order that it may not take root and so ruin the little granary. He teaches the raven in dry weather to throw pebbles into a hollow tree, that the water far down and out of reach may come up within the reach of the bird’s beak. What a com fort that He is a God in littles! The emperor of all the Russias in olden time v.as looking at a map that spread before him his vast dominions, and he could not find Great Brit ain on the map, and he called In his secretary and paid: “Where is Great Britain, that I hear so much about?” “It is under your thumb,” said the secretary; and tho em peror raised his hand from the map and saw the country he was looking for. And it is high time that we find this mighty realm of God close by and under our own little linger. To drop you out of His memory would be to resign His omniscience. To refuse you His protection would be to ab dicate His mnuipotence. When you tell me that Me is the God of Jupiter,and the God of Mercury, and tho God of Saturn, you tell me something so vest- that I cannot comprehend it. But if you tell me Ho is tho Goa of tho snowflake, you tell me something I can bold and measure and realize. Thus the smallest snowflake contains a jewel case of comfort. Here is an opal, an amethyist, a diamond. Here is one of tho treasures” of snow. Take it for your present and everlasting comfort. Behold, also, in the snow the treasure of accumulated power. During a snow storm let an apothecary, accustomed to weigh # most dolicave quantities, hold his weighing scales out of the window and let one flake fall on the surface of tho scale.*, and it will not even make it tremble. Winn you want to ex press extreme triviality of weight you say, “Might as a feather,” but a snowflake is much lighter. It is just twenty-four times lighter than water. And yet the accumula tion of these flakes broke down, a few days ago. in sight of my house, six telegraph poles, made helpless police and fire departments and halted rail trains with two thundering locomotives. We have already leani3d so much of the power of electricity that we have become careful how we touch the electric wire, aud in many a case a touch has bsen death. But a few days ago the snow put. iti hand on most of these wires, and tore them down as though they were cobwebs. Tho snow sold: “You seem afraid of tho thunderbolt- 1 will catch it and hurl it to tho ground. Your boated electric lights adorning your cities with bub bles of fire, I will put out as easily as your ancestors snuffed out a tallow candle.” The snow put its finger on the lip of our cities that were talking with each other and they went into silence, uttering not a word. The snow mightier than the lightning. In March, 1888, the snow stopped Amer* lea. It said to Brooklyn, “Stay home!” to pi tl ... _ put intoft white sepulcher most of this nation. Com* meroe, whose wheels never stopped before, stopped then. What was the matter? Power of accumulated snowflakes. On the top of the Apennines one flake falls, and others fall, and they pile up, And they make a mountain of fleece ori the top of a mountain of rock, Until one day a ^ust of wind, or even the Voice of a mountaineer, sets the frozen vapors into action, and by awful descent they sweep everything in their course—trees, ro.^ks, villages—os when in 1827 the town of Bnel, in Valais, was buried, and in 1024,in Switzer land. three hundred soldiers were entombed. These avalanches were made up of single snowflakes. What tragedies of the snow have been witnessed by the monks of St. Bernard, who for ages have with the dogs been busy in ex tricating bewildered and overwhelmed travelers in Alpine storms, tho dogs witl* blankets fastened to their backs aud flasks o> *-pirit« fastened to their necks to resuscitat* helpless travelers, one of these dogs decorated with a mednl for having saved the lives of twenty-two persons, the bravo beast himself slain of the snow on that day when accom- E anying a Piedmontese courier on tho way to is anxious household down the mountain, the wife and children of tho Piedmontese courier coming up the mountain in search of him, nn avalanche covered all under ovra- mids higher than those under which the Egyptian monarchs sleep their sleep of the ages! What an illustration of the tragedies of the snow is found in that scene between Glencoe and Glencreran one February in Scotland, where Ronald Cameron comes forth to bring to his father’s house his cousin Flora McDonald for the celebration of a birthday, and the calm day turns into a hurricane of white fury that leaves Ronald and Flora as dead, to bo resuscitated by the shepherds! What an exciting struggle had Bayard Taylor among the wintry Apennines! In the winter of 1812, by a similar force, the destiny of Europe was decided. Tho French army inarched up toward Moscow live hundred thousand men. What can re sist them? Not bayonets, but tho dumb ele ments overwhelm that host. Napoleon re treats from Moscow with about two hundred thousand men, a mighty nucleus for another campaign after he gets ‘back to Paris. The morning of October Ifi, when they start for home, is bright and beautiful. The air is tonic, and although this Russian campaign has been a failure Napoleon will try again in some other direction with his host of brave surviving Frenchmen. But a cloud comes on the sky and tho air gets chill, and one of the soldiers feels on his cheek a snowflake, and thou there is a multi- tlication of those wintry messages, and soon ;he plumes of tho officers are decked with an other style of plume, and then all the skies let loose upon the warriors a hurricane of snow, and tho march becomes difficult, and the horses find it hard to pull the supply train, and the men begin to fall under the fatigue, and many not able to take another step lie down in the drifts never to rise, and the cavalry horses stumble and fall, and one thousand of the army fall, and ten thousand risli, and twenty thousand go down, and fty thousand, and a hundred thousand, and a hundred aud twenty thousand and a hun dred and thirty-tv/o thousand die, and the victor of Jena and bridge of Modi and Eylau aud Austerlitz, where three great armies, commanded by three emperors, surrendered to him; now himself surrenders to the snow flakes. Historians do not seem to recognize that the tide in that man’s life turne l from Dec. 16,1809, when he banished by hideous divorce his wife Josephine from the palace, and so challenged tho Almighty, and the Lord charged upon him from the fortress of the sky with ammunition of crystal. Snowed under! Billions, trillions, quadrillions,quin- trillions of flakes did the work. And what a suggestion of accumulative power, aud what a rebuke to all of us who get discouraged be cause we canuot do much, and therefore do nothing! “Ob,” says some one, “I would like to stop the forces of sin and crime that are marching for the conquests of the nations, but I am nobody; 1 have neither wealth nor eloquence nor social power What can l do?” My brother, how much do you weigh? As much as a snowflake! “Oh, yes.” Then do your share. It is an aggi egation of small influ ences that will yet put this lost world back Into the bosom of a pardoning God. Alas that there are so many men and women who will not use the one talent because they have not ten, and will not give a penny b2cau>a aVt cannot give a dollar, and will not speak as well as they can because they are not elo quent, and will not bo a snowflake because they cannot bean avalanche! In earthly wars the generals get about ail the credit, but in the war forGodand righteousness and heaven all the private soldiers will got crowns of victory unfailing. When wo reach heaven—by the grace of God may W'o all arrive there—I do not think we will be able to begin the new song right away because of the surprise we shall feel at the comparative rewards given. As wc are being conducted along the street to our celestial residence we will begin to ask where live sonic of those who were mighty on earth. Wo must ask, “Is So-and-so here?” And the answer will bo: “Yes, I think he is in tho city, but wc don’t hear much of him; he was good and he got in, but he took most of his pay in earthly applause; he had enough grace to get through the gale, but just where he lives I know not. He squeezed through somehow, although 1 think the gates took the skirts of his gar ments. I think he lives in one of those back streets in one of the plainer residences.” Then we shall see a palace, the doorsteps of goid, and the windows of agate, ami the lower like the sun for brilliance, and char iots before the door, and people who look like princes and princases going up and down the steps, and we shall say, “What one of the hierarchs lives here?” That must be the residence of a Paul or a Milton, or some one whose name resounds through all the planet from which we have just ascended.” “No, no,” says our celestial dragoman; “that is the residence of a soul whom you never heard of. “When she gave her charity her left hand knew not what her right hand did. She was mighty in secret prayer, and no one but God aud her own soul knew it. She had more trouble than anybody in all the land where she lived, and without complaining she bore it, and though her talents were never great, what she had was all conse- crated to God and helping others, and the lord is making up for her earthly privation by especial raptures here, and the King of this country had that place built especially for her. The walls began to go up when her troubles and privations and consecrations began on earth, and it so happened—what a heavenly coincidence!—that the last stroke of the trowel of amethyst on those walls was given the hour she entered heaven. “You know notiiing of her. On earth her name was only once in tho newspapers, and that among tho column of the dead, but she is mighty up here. There she comes now out of her palace grounds in her chariot be hind those two white horses for a ride on tho banks of the river that flows from under the throne of God. Let me see. Did you nol have in your world below an old classic which says something about ‘these are they who come out of great tribulation, and they shall reign for ever aud ever?’ ” As we pass up the street I find a good many ou foot, ami I say to the dragoman: “Who are these?” And when their name is an nounced I recognize that some of them were on eartii groat poets, and great orators, and great merchants, and groat warriors, and when I express my surprise about their going afoot tho dragoman says: “In this country people ore rewarded not according to the number of their earthly talent.*, but accord ing^ the use they made of what they had.” And then I thought to myself: “Why, that theory would make a snowflake that falls cheerfully aud in tin right place, and does all the work assigned it, as honorable as a whole Mont Blanc of snowflakes.” “Yes. ye ,” says the celestial dragoman, “many ot Hick * pearls that you find on the foreheads of the righteous, and many of the gems in the jewel case of prince and princess, are only the pa trifled snowflakes of earthly tempest, for God does not forget tho promise made in regard to them, ‘They shall be Mine, said the Lord of hosts, in tho day when I make up My jewe’s.’ ” Accumulated power l All the prayers and charities and kindnesses and talent s of all the good concentered and compacted will be tho world’s evangelization. This thought of the aggregation of the many smalls into that one mighty is another treas ure of the snow. Another treasure of the snow is tho sug gestion of tho usefulness of sorrow. Absenco of snow last winter made all nations sick. That snowless winter has not yet ended its disasters. Within a few weeks it put tens of thousands into the grave, and loft others in homes and hospitals gradually to go down. Galled by a trivial name, the Rus sian “grip,” it was an international plague, plenty of snow means public health. There is no medicine that so soon cures the world's malarias as these white jiellets that the clouds administer—pellets sum II enough to be homeoiMithic, but in such laige dojes as to lie allopathic, and melting soon enough to be hydropathic. Mike a sponge, every flake ab sorbs unhealthy gases. The tables of mor tality in New York and Brooklyn imme diately lessened when the snows of last De cember be^an to fall. The snow is one of tho grandest and bu.'st of the world’s doctors. Yes, it Is necessary for ne land’s produc tiveness. Great snows in winter are general ly followed by great harvests next summer. Scientific analysis has shown that snow con tains a larger percentage of ammonia than the rain, and hence its greater power of en richment. And besides that, it is a white blanket to keep tho earth warm. An ex amination of snow in Siberia showed that It was a hundred degrees warmer under the snow than above tno snow. Alpine plants perished in the mild winter of England for lack of enough snow to keep them warm. Snow strikes back the rich gases which other wise would escape in tho air and be lost. Thank God for tno snows, and may those of February bo as plentiful as those of Decem ber and January have been, high and deep and wide and enriching; th^n the harvests next July will embroider with gold this en tire American continent. What mellowed aud gloriflel Wilherforce’s Christian character? A financial misfortune that led him to write, “I know not why my life is spared so long, except it be to show that a man can be as happy without a for tune as with one.” What gave John Milton such keen spiritual eyesight that he could see the battle of the angels? Extinguishment of physical eyesight. Whit is the highest observatory for studying the stars of hope and faith and spiritual promise? The be liever’s sick bed. What proclaims the richest and most golden harvests that wave ou all the hills of heavenly rapture? The snows, the deep snows, the awful snows of earthly calamitv. And that comforting thought is one of the treasures of the snow. Another treasure of the snow is thesugges- tion that this mantle ovenng the eartn is like the soul after it is forgiven. “Wash me,” said the Psalmist, “and I shall bo whiter than snow.” My dear friend Gash- erie De Witt went over to Geneva, Switzer land. for the recovery of his health, hut the Lord had something better for him than earthly recovery. Littledi l I think when I bade him good-by one lovely afternoon on the other side of the sea to return to America, that we would not meet again till we meet in heaven. As he lay one Sabbath morning on his dying pillow in Switzerland, the win dow open, he was looking out upon Mont Blanc. The air was clear. That great mountain stood in its robe of snow, glitter ing in the morning light, and my friend said to his wife: “Jennie, do you know what that snow on Mount Blanc makes me think of? It makes me think that the righteousness of Christ and the pardon of God cover all tho sins and imperfections of my life, as that snow covers up Hint mountain, for the promise is that though our sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” Was not that glorious? I do not care who you are, or where you are, you need as much ns I do that cleansing which made Gusherio De Witt good while he lived and glorious when he died. Do not take it as the tenet of nn obsolete theology that our nature is corrupt. We must bo changed. We must be made over again. The ancients thought that snow water had especial power to w'ash out deep stains. All other water might fail, but melted snow would make them clcau. Well, Job had great admiration for snow, but he declares m substance that if he should wash his soul in melted snow ho would still be cov ered with mud, like a man down in n ditch (Job ix., 30). “If I wash myself in snow water, and make my hands ever so clean, yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch and mine own clothes shall abhor me.” We must be washed in the fountain of God’s mercy before we can bo whiter than snow. “Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord.” Oh, for the cleansing power l If there he in all this audience one manor woman whose thoughts have always been right, and whose actions are always right* let such a one rise, or if .already standing, lift the right hand. Not one! All we, liko sheep, have gone astry. Unclean! unclean I And yet we may be made whiter than snow whiter than that which, on a cold winter’s morning, after a night of storm, clothes the tree from bottom of trunk to top of highest branch, whiter than that which this nour makes tho Adirondacks, and the Sierra Nevada and Mount Washington heights of pomp and splendor lit to enthrone an arch angel. In the time of Graham, the essayist, in one mountain district of Scotland an average of ten shepherds perished every winter in the snow drifts, and so he proposed that at tho distance of every mile a pole fifteen feet high and with two cross pieces be erected, show ing tho points of the compass, aud a bell hung at the top, so that every breeze would ring it, and so the lost one on the mountains would hear the sound and take the direction given by this pole with the cross pieces and get safely home. Whether that proposed f lan was adopted or not I do not know, but declare to all you who are in the heavy and blinding drifts of sin and sorrow that there is a cross near by that can direct you to home and peace and God; and hear you not the ringing of tho gospel bell hanging to that cross, saying, “This is the way; walk ye in if Lnssoingr a Grizzly. Ode of the most exciting hunts had >y Mr. Pacheco, the recently appointed dintster to Central America, occurred luring one summer night off tho Culi- ornia scacoast where the seals were in ;he habit of going. The bears camo here for the purpose of capturiug and eeding upon tho seals. Mr. Pacheco md liis riders took a station at the top if a high bluff to wait for the return of ho hugh grizzly that they had seen go town below to feed. He camo back ibout 11 o’clock, and when he was airly upon the top of the cliff the four ossos whirled and the bear was caught. Phcy wers never more success! ul in a Irst effort. The four lassos were thrown is if directed by one hand. Each paw vas caught, but the bear was greasy rom his seal feeding, and one lasso af- or another slipped oil'. Of course, in inch hunting each rider lias two or three ariats in reserve. As the lariats slipped )ff the bear charged. To protect them- lelves it was necessary to throw new opes and upon the instant. This fight kept up for nearly an hour, when the bear and his hunters both gave ip the contest. He was too slippery to )o held, but the persistence of the hunt- srs had so daunted his spirit that he was /ery glad to run off at the hist, when the lunters became convinced ! iiat it was a lopelcss case. Mr. Pacheco has killed nnny grizzlies. In one instance he iad a very narrow escape. This was when he was riding along upon .he banks of a dry bed of a stream. Tho grizzly he was after was thirty feet be- ow him. As a proof of the wonderful igility of this animal, Mr. Pacheco says ;hat this particular bear, without the ilightcst warning ‘"'attack, bounded from ,hc bed of tho stream clear aud clean to .he flank of his hoise. It was the sudden jolt of the animal which saved tho rider. The other hunters came up in a moment ind in three minutes afterward the bear •hat had made such a courgcous charge was lying helpless in the nooses of the .lunters.— Chicago Tribune. Evidence of an lil-Spent Youth. The other day Mr. Spencer sauntered into the billiard room at the Senior Club, London, and invited a young Major,who was the only person there, to take a cue. The Major did so. Beginning to play with deliberation the great philosopher gave a miss in balk. His opponent can noned off the red and left off at thirty- seven, with all tho balls out of play. Mr. Spencer made another miss. Then tho Major ran out. “Sir,’’ the philoso pher said, as he gravely put his cue into its case, “a certain dexterity in games of skill indicates a well-balanced mind, but expertness such as you have displayed is strong presumptive evidence of an ill- spent youth. I wish you good after- uoonl”—London Tit-Hits. Miraculous Escape of a Baby. A few days ago at Clinlon, Ky., a two-year-old child of W. T. Walker, while playing in the park, fell into an abandoned well which had been care lessly covered, and fell sixty-five feet into eighteen inches of water. The child was missed immediately, tho broken cover of the well signifying its awful fate. A boy, sixteen years old, was let down by a rope attached to his waist. After a half hour of careful and anxious work the babe was brought to the sur face, entirely unharmed, suffering ap parently only from Uiu effects of the cold-water hath. Twenty-four hours later it showed not the slightest evidence of harm.—St. I.nnin Globe- '‘itnocrat. TWO MINIATURE REPUBLICS ANDORRA AND SAN MARINO, AND HOW THEY ARE RULED. One. With Thirty-Three Square Miles Enjoys the Luxury of Two Presi dents—Their Governments. Until France adopted her present form of government, modern European re publics were nil tiny bits of territory that seemed hardly worth a monarch's conquest. In all cases, too, they have been mountainous lands. Indeed, in several instances, they have been little more than a mountain or a range of mountains. Switzerland's centuries of republican freedom are known to all the world, and this little country is the largest of tho mountain republics in which Liberty has long mado her home. Two others there are of which the world knows little, and perhaps cares less. How many men, ten years out of school, can give tho geographical position of Andorra or of San Marino? A word as to these tiny republics. It was a German princeling that is said to have declined a gift of a long- range rifle cannon, upon the ground that there was not room in his principality to give the weapon a fair trial. Small terri tories and scant revenues have made even some of the more conspicuous German princely houses famous for simplicity and economy. But it must he a small principality, indeed, that is smaller in area or population than tho Itepublic of Andorra. This tiny State lies on the south side of tho Pyrenees, between the Spanish Province of Lerida and the French De partment of Ariegc. Its area is 160 square miles, not very much more than than that of Philadelphia. Its popula tion is 7000. The people are mostly busied in smuggling, mining, and tho manufacture of tobacco. Those not thus employed are shepherds. The country has free parish schools. The people speak a Spanish dialect. The Itepublic is a survival of many such once flourishing in tho valleys of the Pyrenees. It has maintained its independence since the year 1275. The country is divided into six parishes and each parish hastwo con suls, who, by the aid of local councils, decide all questions concerning roads, police, public lighting, taxation and tho division of pasture lands. Finally, there is a general council of twenty-four mem bers, four from each parish. Since 1866 these ofiiccrs have been elected by all heads of families. Before that tho elec tive franchise was confined to an aristo cracy maintained by primogeniture. The army of Andorra consists of 600 men, under militia organization. These men hold themselves ready to be called out at the wish of the State. The com mand of the militia is intrusted chiefly to two ofiiccrs, one nominated by France and the other by the Bishop of Urgel, a Spanish Sec. The army is exempt from foreign service, and the chief business of the two officers, or Vigniors, as they are called, is to administer criminal justice. Civil cases are tried between two Aider- men, deputies of the Vignicr. A Civil Judge of Appeal, however, may set aside the judgments of tho Aldermen. This Judge is nominated alternately by France and by the Bishop of Urgel. The final appeal is to tho Court of Cassation at Paris, or to the Episcopal College at Urgel. The little Itepublic pays an annual tribune of $191 to France, aud in con sideration of this payment free trade prevails between the two countries. A like sum is paid as a tribute to the Bishop of Urgel. This tribute and the expenses of government are paid by a Species of tax levied as rent for the use pf pasture land. The people live the simplest sort of lives, and are scarcely conscious of any government beyond the neighborly understanding necessary to the existence of a civilized community. Andorra, the capital, is an odd little town of 1000 inhabitants. Far smallet than Andorra is that other mountain republic, San Marino. It lies upon tho Adriatic, surrounded by Italian provinces. The area of the country is only thirty-three miles square, and, in fact, the republic is merely one mountain peak, 2200 feet high. On tho sides of this mountain stand the town ofSau Ma rino, founded in the year 141. The place is accessible by only one road, and is not only walled, but has three forts. It con tains the Governor’s palace, six churches, a theatre, aud two great cisterns for tho supply ol water. Nothing could be more curious than the Hcpublic’s system of government. The Legislature consists of sixty members, elected for life, equally from nobles, citizens and peasants. The little Republic is amply provided with Presidents. There are two chosen every six months. There are likewise two Judges and two Secretaries of State. The army consists of 950 men, or about ouc- cighth of tho entire population. The towm has a population of 1600. The court of last resort is a council ot twelve, elected by the Senate. The towu, or capital, is curious in more ways than one. Not only docs it lie impregnable on the hillside, but it proudly proclaims its independence by means of a statue of Liberty in the piaz za. The houses are of dressed stone, and the streets, bobbing up and down, as they do, are charmingly picturesque. Sau Marino has no customs tariff against Italy, and obtains foreign tobacco duty free, through Italian territory, by reason of a premise to abstain from raising to bacco. To avoid any difficulty over the troublesome question of international copyright, San Marino forbids the use of the printing press within her borders. According to tradition, Sau Marino was founded in the third century by % mason named Muriuus. It first figures in European history in the year 885. Since then it had varying fortunes in peace and war. Time and again the tiny bit of territory has been the subject of grave dispute, and for brief periods it has lost its autonomy. In 1631, however, San Marino’s powerful neighbors ac-' knowledgcd her independence, and this boon was secured to the little Republic when the present Italian Kingdom was formed.—Hew York Star. Ills Grandmother Was a Revolutionary Veteran. Professor Gilbert Thompson, lately elected a member of tho Society of tho Sons of the American Rovolution, based his claim to membership on his descent on his father’s side from Private Nath aniel Gilbert, a faithful soldier in Wash ington’s army, and on the mother’s side from Private Deborah Gannett, who, moved thereto by “zeal for tho good of her country, enlisted under the name of “Robert Shurtlcff,” and served for nearly three years, when she was honorably dis charged, having been present at tho cap ture of Cornwallis and wounded at Tarry- town, and subseqcntly having been paid a pension by the United States, her pe tition therefor being supported by the highest testimonials as to character aud courage. — Chicago Times. It is stated that for the year ending July 25, 1890, there were in New York State 800,000 children of school age who did not atteud school toi any part of the period. A THRILLING EXPERIENCE. ft.-markable Hlarement of Personal Dan ger anil Providential Escape. The following story—whicli is attracting wide attention from the press—is so remark able that we cannot excuse ourselves if we do not lay it before our readers, entire. To the Editor Rochester (.V. 1’. i Democrat: Sir—On the first day of June, 1881, 1 lay at iny residence in tins city surrounded by my fi iends and waiting for death. Heaven only knows the agony I then endured, for words can never describe it. And vet, if a few year; previous any one had toldhie that I was to be brought so low, and by so ter rible n disease, I should have scoffed at the idea. I had always been uncommonly strong and healthy, and weighed over 200 pounds and hardly knew, in my own experience, wlmt pain or stekne-s were. Very many people who will read iliis statement realize at limes that they are unusually tired and cannot account foi- it. They feel dull pains in various parts of tho body and do not understand why. Or they are exe-e lingly hungry one day and entirely without appetite the next. Ties was just the way I felt when the relentless main ly which had fastened it self upon me fiist began. !St!ll I thought nothing of it, tbit probably I bad taken a cold winch would soon pass away. .ShortIv after this I nol iced a heavy, and at times neuralgic, pain in one side of my head, but as it would come one day and be gone the next, I paid little attention to it. Then my stomach would get out of order and mv food olten tailed to digest, c.iu. ing at times great inconvenience. Yet, even as a phy sician, I did not think that these things meant anything serious. I fancied I was suffering from malaria and doctored myself accordingly. But I got no better I next noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluids I was passing—also tint there wore large quantities one day and very little the next, and that a persistent froth mid scum appeared on tho surface, and a sediment settled. And yet I did not realize my danger, for. indeed, seeing these symptoms continually, 1 fhvdly became accustomed to them, and my suspicion was wholly disarmed by the fact that I had no pain in the affected organs or in their vicinity. Why I should have been so blind t cannot under stand 1 consulted the best medical skill in the land. I visited all the famed mineral springs in America and traveled from Maine to ■ 'alifornia. Still I grew worse. Vo two physicians agreed as to my malady. One said 1 was troubled with spinal irritation; another, dyspepsia; another, heirt disease; another, general debility; anothi r, conges tion of the base of the brain; and so on through a long list of common diseases, tho symptoms of many of which T really had. In this way several years passed, during which time l was steadily growing worse. My condition bad really bocomo pitiable. The slight symptoms l had at first experi enced were developed into terrible and con stant disorders. My weight had lieon re duced from 207 to 130 pounds. My life was a burden to myself and friends. I could retain no food on tny stomach, and I Jived wholly by injections. 1 was a living mass of pain. My pulse was uncontrolable. In tny agony I frequently fell to the door and clutched the carpet, and prayed for death. Morphine had little or no effect in deadening the pain. For six days and nights I had the death-premonitory hiccoughs constantly. My water was filled with tube-casts and albumen. I wus struggling with Bright's disease of the kidneys in its last stages I While suffering thus I received a call from my pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote, at that time rector of tit. Haul's Episcopal Church, of this city. 1 felt that it wus our last interview, hut in the course of conversation Dr. Foote detailed to me the many remarkable cures of cases like my own which had come under his observation. As n practicing physician and a graduate of the schools, 1 derided the idea of any medicine outside tho regular channels lieing in the least beneficial. Ho solicit inns, however, was Dr. Foote, that I finally prom ised I would waive my prejudice. I began its use on the first day of June, ISM, and took it according to directions. At first it sickened me; hut this I thought was a good sign for me in my debilitated condition. I continued to take it; the sickening sensation departed and I was finally able to retain food upon iny stomach, in a tow days l noticed a decided change for the better, os also did my wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased and I experienced loss pain than formerly. I was so rejoiced at this improved condition that, upon what i had believed but a few days before was my dying bed, I vowed in the presence of my family and friends, should I recover, I would both publicly and privately make know this remedy for the good of humanity, wherever and whenever I bad an opportunity, and this letter is in ful fillment ot that vow. My improvement was constant from that time, and in less than three months 1 had gained twenty-six pounds in flesh, became entirely free from pain and I believe I owo my lifeand present conditiou wholly to Warner's Safe Cure, the roimaiy which I used. Since my recovery 1 have thoroughly re investigated tlie subject of kidney difficulties and Bright's disease, and tho truths devel oped are astounding, f therefore state, de liberately, and as a physician, that I believe more than one-half the deaths which occur in America are caused ho Height's disease of the kidneys. This may sound like a rash statement, hut lam prepared to fully verify it. Bright’s disease has no distinctive feat ures of its own (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vieinity), hut lias the symptoms of nearly every other common complaint. Hundreds of people die daily, whoso burials are authorized by a physiciau’s certificate as occurring from “Heart Disease,” “Apo plexy,” “Paralysis,'’ Spinal Complaint,” “Rheumatism.'’ “Pneumonia,” and other common complaints, when in rualitv it ia d'om Bright disease of the kidnevs. F.-w p.iytieians. and fewer iieople, realize the ex tent of this disease or its dangerous .-u l »*• sidinusnature. It steals into the system like a thief, manifests its presence if at nU bv the commonest symptoms and fastens its. If in the constitution before the victim is aware of it. It is nearly as hereditary as consump tion, quite as common ami iully a; latal. Entire families, inheriting it. from their an cestors, havedied. and yet. none of the num ber knew or realized file mysterious power which was removing them. Instead of com mon symptoms it often shows none what ever, hut brings death suddenly, from con vulsions, apoplexy or heart disease. As one who has suffered, and knows by its bitter ex perience what he says, l implore everyone who reads these words not to neglect the slightest symptoms of kidney difficulty. No one can afford to hazard such chances*. I make the foregoing stat 'meats base I upon facts winch 1 can substantiate to the letter. The welfare of those who mav |sis- sibly he sufferers sucli as 1 was. is an ample inducement forme to take the step 1 have, and if I can successfully warn others from the dangerous path in which I once walked, i am witling to endure all professional and persona! consequences J.

OAULKE COFFEE ROUSES. The Galilee coffee house, opened last week under the auspices of Calvary Episcopal Church, is the kind of institution t hat New York should have at least one hundred of to every thousand saloons. We fight against saloons year in and year out, aud rightly, for the harm they do to the morals of the community, but yve seldom think of provid ing a practical substitute for them as places whore men who cannot afford to belong to fashionable clubs can sit down and smoke with a friend at a table and make themselves at home withoutthe more or less humiliating feeling that they are beneficiaries of a free charity, or the sense of obligation to buy in toxicating drinks. Yet the saloon will not go till the popular substitute comes. There should be a liallice coffee house in every street in town.—New York IVess. TEMPERANCE ANB THE TROPICS. Dr. Bessinger, after exploring tho interior of Luedentz Laud, the German portion of southwestern Africa, adds his testimony to the experience that total abstinence from stimulants would reduce the allege 1 climate perils of the tropics to the danger incident to sand-storms ami severe droughts. “The re nunciation of alcohol,” he snys, “will enable travelers in this country to walk twenty miles a day without danger to their health, and If the same organize! enterprise and the same amount of treasure that have lieon wasted in pursuit of the Nortli Pole chimera, bad been uevoted to the exploration of this continent, not a mountain range nor a river valley of tropical Africa would by this time be missing from our topographical map*’.” I wlll e xchungc 1 w " live mom ( "toiV'"- within r . miles of MliniesiHills, MIiiii.. worih one 1 li’ilri,"ml dollars each, for a small plare m ar -> a roast.
