“There, giris!”
Eifrida Moore held aloft before us a
dreadful image. “A home-made ghost.”
she called it/laughitig at the terrific re
sult of her half hour of sedulous occu
v ^^twas horrible!
We had been reading, that afternoon,
about the Princess Amelia, the ill-fated
/ sister of Frederick, king of Prussia.
:-:v One thing brought up another. And
when an suasion was made to the |“wo
; man with the broom,” who is said to
, have haunted the Prussian palace, at
that time, EHrida sought a carpet brush
4 with a long handle, in the closet at tin
head of the stairs, and. standing in the
outer chamber alone, began to dress it
artistically la a sheet, by way of show
ing ns her asm idewof tfie phantom that
,, troubled the rest of Prussia’s kings.
We girls wore alone in the wing cham
ber,, which had been allotted for our oc
cupancy by Miss Mildred Fay, the own
- sr of the lovely farm, and the comforta
ble, old-fashioned farmhouse, in west
1 f ere Pennsylvania, where our parents
and other friends were spending the ear
* ly vacation months of the opening sum
mer.
One other girl, Elfrida's first cousin,
''Evelyn Moore, shared the wing chamber
’ with us.
She had now gone to the village, two
miles distant, for the evening mail.
And Bfiiils who was somewhat en
vious of Evelyn’s superior scholarship,
social psritlon and good looks, declared
that she would leave her “woman with
the broeca” so near the door of our
— ./dumber, end in such a position, that it
would Imwllably fall against Evelyn as
soon ap she entered to bring ns our let
ton.
“She seye that she is afraid of noth-'
ing—that she does not believe in ghosts
and apparitions, she said to us. Now
let’s try bo courage. We will hide in
the unfinished chamber, outside, where
W can and hear all that passes be
• tween her dnd my phantom.”
While we were eyeing the image from
a respectful distance, and feeling half
afraid of the hideous face and the flam
ing eyes, which Klfrida had drawn with
a few touches of her crayon and a little
phosphorus od the white surface of the
sheet, a rustling sound and movement in
the outer chamber made us all huddle
»’ together and strain our eyes fearfully to
ward the dusky entrance.
We all felt relieved, I think (I own that
I did, for one), when our hostess. Miss
Mildred, emerged from the gloom, and
mitered oar room without pausing to
. knock.
' 4 Klfrida tried to thrust the home-made
ghost into a corner, quite out of sight.
E But it was useless to try to conceal from
Miss Mildred's searchingly comprehen
Mriv« glance the hapless apparition.

^ yead of age, replied Miss Mils
drod, trying to cover the sudden break
and tremble in her voice by a loud
-'•Bern!” . ,
**Aad »t Sixteen she was far beyond
that painting for beauty,” continued
Miss Mildred. “Strangers used to stop
in the street to look at her and inquire
who she was. But she appeared to
know nothing and care nothing about
her wonderful good looks. She was
good and gentle, and always amiable
without the least apparent sign of van
ity.
“ ‘Ripe for heaven,’ onr good _ old
minister used to say. I wish she might
have gone there then!” said Miss Mil
dred with a stifled groan.
“She did not die, then!” exclaimed
Elfrida. “I was so afraid you were
going to tell us of her death !”
“She did not die—God help herP’ re*
plied Miss Mildred, with a sigh so deep
and sad that it was almost a groan.
“Here, in this very wing chamber, my
brother Oliver thought of it,” she said,
after a long pause; “here he called me
to help him decide liow-to carry out the'
plan. You see, girls, Isadora was like
your friend Evelyn—she possessed great
courage. She seemed to have no fear
of anything on earth. Oliver knew
this; so did I. And neither of us ex
pected anything more than a. hearty
laugh at her expense, or at our own,
when the evening frolic ended
“It vy Hallow tm. Isadora and her
dearest friend, a Nancy Bruce (who
lived then at the farm just below this
one), bad agreed to try their fate, with
‘spells’ on that evening. They ‘dared’
each other to one thing and another,and
finally Isadora pledged* herself to go in
to the lonely old north rooms, with a
candle, at nine o’clock that evening,and
eat an apple before Grandmamma
Thorne's great mirror, that had been
stored away there for safe-keeping for
fifty years or more.
“You see, girls, the idea was that her
future husband’s face was to appear to
her, looking over her shoulders, in that
mirror, as she stood before it eating her
apple.
“Well, Oliver overheard the girls
planning this that afternoon, ana he
told me, and, as I said before, I helped
him here in this very room, that even
while lie disguised himself in along
white dress, and painted his face all over
a deathly white, with heavy, frowning
hlack eyebrows that formed a black arch
across his forehead.
“It changed him terribly, and he look
ed so like a corpse in that shroud-like
dress, that I was half scared myself at
him. But neither of 11s thought of laa
dore's being frightened.
“And so we stole into the north room,
and contrived to get the mirror out of
its frame. Oliver put his face into the
vacant space. I hung the drapery
around it, and charged him to keep per
fectly still, and then stole away to watch
for fsadore in the hall.
“Ip a few minutes she came down the
stairs with her candle and apple in her
hands. She was smiling rogueishly to
herself as she opened the door of the
north room and went in.”
“And what happened?”asked Elfrida,
eagerly, as Miss Mildred paused.
“Where was your mother? How
could she let Isadora go into that dread
ful room?” breathed Marion Hurst.
“Father and mother were both stay
ing with a sick neighbor as watchers
that night,” said Miss Mildred; “and I
watched and waited, in the. outer hall,
till Nancy Bruce came crying, down
stairs, to tell some one what they had
planned to do, because she thought
something awful had happened to keep
Isadora so long in the north room.
“When Nancy saw me_ she caught
hold of me and dragged me with her to
the door of the north room. We went
in. The candle was burning on the
table. The apple had fallen to the
floor. Beside it my brother Oliver was
lying senseless, in a fit. His face looked
like white lire, in the half darkness.
The poor foolish boy had nibbed phos
phonis all over it, after I left him, to
make it look still more ghastly and
ghostlike.”
“And Isadora—where was Isadora?”
cried Marion Hurst, beginning to shiver
with nervous dread.
“We found her huddled down Jin a
heap in a distant corner, with her face
to tne wall. She knew no one. Oliver
told us, long afterward, that she stood
gazing at him in silenee so long that lie
advanced his face toward her, through
the mirror, meaning in play to offer her
a kiss.
“The light, the life, the intelligence,
all went out of her own face at that mo
ment,” he said. “She fled and crouched
down in the corner; and he, believing
then that he had fatally injured her,
fell fainting to the floor.”
"Poor fellow!” sighed Elfrida.
“Where is he now, Miss Mildred?”
“In heaven, 1 hope! He was one of
our first volunteers from this town, and
one of the first officers killed in the last
war. They told me that he exposed
his life in leading his men into action.
1 did not mourn for him girls; I knew
how (/lad he was to go. Our parents
died heart-broken one year from that
fatal Hallowe’en.”
“But Isadora, where is she?” asked
Elfrida, half fearfully.
“At the State Lunatic Asylum. At
first, she seemed ouly idiotic, and I kept
her at home devoting my life to her, as
some small return for the wrong that I
had helped to work. But she is now a
raging, raving, dangerous maniac! Oh,
girls; there is nothing left now of the
heantiful child, or of the l*veiy girl! It
| Vas all our fault!” said pdor Miss Mil
dred, bursting into tears and hurrying
out of the room.
Elfrida's eyes were wet, like ours, as
she brought baek and silently demol
ished the fearful “woman with the
broom.” And Evelyn Moore, returning
an hour later with the letters, never
knew why we girls greeted her so kindly
and lovingly, upon that one particular
night.
How to Return « furor.
An old Scotchman was taking his
grist to the mill in sacks thrown across
the back of his horse, when the horse
stumbled and the grain fell to the
pound. He had not strength to raise it,
being an aged man, but he saw a horse
man riding along, and thought he would
ask him for help. The horseman proved
to be a nobleman who lived in the castle
hard by, and the farmer could not mus
ter courage to ask a favor of him. But
the nobleman was a gentleman also, and,
not waiting to be asked, he dismounted,
and between them they lifted the grain
to the horse’s back. John—for he was
a gentleman too—lifted his cap and said:
“My lord, how shall 1 ever thank
you for your kindness?” “Very easily,
John,” replied the nobleman; “whenever
you see another man in the same plight
as you were in just now, help him, and
that Will be thanking me.”

The Art of Sleeping*
Most of the men who have made their
mark as successful leaders have been
good sleepers as well as hearty eaters
Najioleon Bonaparte lost no opportunity
either for a good sleep or a good meal.
Even before going into battle he would
take a few hours for sleep if possible.
The duke of Wellington was such a
sound sleeper that he seldom moved
from the time he closed his eyes until
he awoke. He used a very narrow bed,
and said that when it was time for a
man to turn in his bed it was time to
get up. Henry Ward Beecher is known
to be a good sleeper. He falls asleep in
a moment after his head touches the
pillow. These men and other great
workers have had a faculty which is an
important addition to the mere taking
of sleep. It is the power of withdraw
ing one’s self from all surrounding
persons and objects and finding imme
diate rest in slumber. The man who
can thus take rest is refreshed and
strengthed under many circumstances
which, would keep other people weary
and wakeful. He is master of every
situation as regards his own rest. Some
men, by long habit, iind themselves
able to sleep with the same ease that
others would take a glass of water.
They can sleep either while perched on
a high stool or rattling along in a rail
road car at forty miles an hour. The
economy of wear and tear on such lives
is wonderful. The man who cannot
sleep unless he has first removed his
clothes, put out the light and climbed
into his bed is at a great disadvantage.
Greater yet is his disadvantage if he
can sleep in no bed but his own. There
are some who are possessed with the
notion that their own bed is the only one
in which they can slumber. These peo
ple are utterly wretched when they go
to the country, where the beds are stuff
ed with straw or shavings, and where
the springs are made of noisy material
which resound whenever touched. When
they go to Europe and are forced either
to stay awake or to sleep in quarters not
much larger than the shelf of a mantle
piece, their misery is too great for ut
terance. Much of the comfort and dis
comfort experienced in sleeping is the
result of habit. There are some people
who toss on their beds for half the night,
as if they were uneasy ghosts. They
have never learned to sleep.
It is the power to shut one's self with
in one’s self that constitutes one of the
approaches to heaWrful "sleep. There
are objections to sleeping in church
which itteed not in this connection be re
counted. But the hian who has by pa
tient habit accustomed himself to slum
ber under a sermon, can learn to sleep
auywhcre and under any circumstances.
He is sometimes seen in a snug corner
of a street car, when several ladies ap
pear on the platform seekingseats. He
often finds it convenient when a bore
addresses him to be able to subside into
slumber. When his mother-in-law wea
ries him with protracted discussions on
uninteresting subjects, it is ever so de
lightful to sleep, or to seem to sleep.
Good sleep is a blessing from heaven,
and he who can sleep whether flics crawl
on him, mosquitoes bite him, cross peo
ple scold him, or noisy children dance
and play in his presence, is blessed in
deed. _
Talk up Your County.
Friends, talk up your eounty and
speak a good word about your neigh
borhood, not only when you are abroad,
but when you are at home. Don’t go
around looking as if every man was
your natural enemy, ami you were hope
lessly tied up in a community with
which you had no sympathy and no
common interests. Don’t rundown the
county and berate your fellow citizens
to every stranger you meet, but brag
them up. Tell strangers you have a fine
county. Don’t deceive them by telling
exaggerated stories or untruths, but
don’t take a delight in making promi
nent every little mismanagement of
public affairs and every little circum
stance of your county’s history that was
not just according to your own ideas.
Tell the strange visitor that your people
are hospitable, and prove it to him by
introducing him among your friends.
Let every man speak well of his neigh
bors anil his county, and induce stran
gers to settle there. When a stranger
locates near you, make him think well
of you and your neighbors. If there be
a bargain in a piece of vacant land near
yon, help to get that bargain disposed of.
When it is in stronger hands and out of
the market, it will stiffen the price of
all lands surrounding it. Get your
farms into the hands of men out of
debt and able to hold them, and you
will see a boom in the real estate mar
ket. But so long as there is a farm for
sale under the pressure of debts, the
price of other lands will be influenced
thereby. A vacant store in a row of
business houses injures the rental value
of aU the others, a demand for one more
store than can be had has the contrary
effect. Prices of land are effected in the
same way. _
Good for the Formers.
Hartford Timet.
It would seem that the farmers, by a
recent discovery, are in a fair way to be
transplanted to the seventh heaven of
delight. That annoying said destructive
peaf-the potato bug—whose advent a
jew years ago into onr agricultural dis
tricts furnished the small boy employ
ment at two cents a quart, in snatching
them from the potato vines, can now be
utilized. '
It appears that a Maryland farmer,
who was opposed to the use of Paris
green in destroying bugs, arranged a
large kettle of boiling water in his field,
and his hired men and boys gathered
the bugs and dumped them into the
i scalding water. While Paris green is
known to work well, no doubt this is “a
good way, too,” as the vender of a cer
tain patent bug poison once remarked.
He was asked now the powder was used
and he replied: “Veu, you catch ze
leetle bng, pinch him, and when he
opens he mouth, drop ze poison in, and
quite soon he kick ze bucket.”

Jesse Brant’s Bride. >
San Francisco Chronicle.
The engagement of marriage which
lias existed for some time between Hist
Lizzie Chapman and Gen.-Grant’s thinl
son, Jesse, has been kept so quiet that
society can scarcely realize that the wed
ding is really to be. The approaching
nuptials of Ulysses Grant, Jr., and Jdisc
Jennie Flood have been such a fertile
topic of discussion that the oresenoe ol
Jesse has generally been accounted foi
as being connected in some vague man
ner with that affair. That two of the
great general’s sons should succumb U
the attractions of San Francisco’s
daughters was not even suspected, ex
cept by a favored few, prior to the an
nouncement in the Chronicle, some time
since, and even now that the arrange
ments for the wedding dre in the course
of preparation, the existence of the en
gagement has been so carefully con
cealed that society yet hopes that there
is some error in tne announcement, and
that the Pacific metropolis is not destin
ed to lose one of the brightest stars in
its social firmament. Miss Chapman is
the daughter of W. S. Chapman, the
wealthy capitalist, whose bold and gi
gantic operations in real estate have
been the subject of so many newspaper
articles. The young ladv is a petite
demi-blonde with a wealth of the light
est light brown hair, and soft light
brown eyes. The bridegroom elect,
Jesse Root Grant, was 33 years of age
last February. He was born inlEMpib

university, from which institutio* be
graduated, receiving the degree at B.

traveled in Europe, devoting Me atten
tion to mining engineering. On Me m
turn to the United States he engaged in
the broker business with A. Honore,
Jr., under the firm name of Grant &

An Artful Russtaf.^ *
London Dally News.
Count Loris Melikoff, on receiving the
appointment to the high^position he
holds, resolved to put airoml to nihil
ism in a practical, business-like man
ner. One of the first steps consisted of
i ipening negotiations with two nihilists
of high rank, who were confined at
Fort Paul. After personally communi
cating with the prisoners, he released
them from confinement. At the same
lime they received a pledge from Count
Melikoff that the persons whose names
had been divulged as being prominent
among the nihilists, should not be
harmed in any way whatsoever. Count
Melikoff adhered to the pledge, and it
enabled him still further to penetrate
into the secrets of other persons. The
question was how further to employ
these persons, who belonged to the in
telligent but indigent class of persons
so numerous throughout Russia, in er
der to render them harmless. One aftei
the other the persons were secretly in
vited to enter into arrangements in good
Russian fashion. No one had a know
ledge of the others’ doings or where
abouts. By far the larger number ol
liersons were sent out of the country in
secrecy, as political agents to Roumetia,
Servia, Greece ana Constantinople;
while others were retained on stipends
until an opportunity for employment
should offer. They may be seen mov
ing about freely. In conversation with
others they profess to favor Panslatf a
to the last; but they assert inessential
for Russia to solve the problem of fonu
ing a union among the Slavs; that being
accomplished, the great measure of re
form may be attempted.

One of the celebrities of the rant
markets is a woman who keeps a vege
table stall, and who wears the red rib
bon of the legion of honor. This wo
man, Annettee Drevon by name, wat
formerly continiere to the thirty-second
regiment of infantry and to the second
regiment of Zouaves, which she accom
panied through the campaigns of Africa
and Italy, and during the war with
Germany. Of the seven or eight fe
male members of the legion of honor,
she is the only one who received the
distinction for an act of valor upon the
field of battle; and she was decorated,
after the battle of Magenta, for rescu
ing the regimental colors from two Aus
trian soldiers who had captured them.
During the war with Germany she wae
with the thirty-second regiment ih
Metz, and upon the surrender of that
fortress she was sent off to Germany
with the survivors. Just outside of
Metz a Bavarian soldier insulted her,
and she pulled out her revolver and
shot him through the heart. For thh
she was condemned to death, and
would have been shot but for the inter
vention of Prince Frederick Charles,
who, hearing that a woman was to b<
executed, made inquiries into the case,
the result being that Annettee Drevoi
was set at liberty. She lived in great
poverty for some time, but Marsha:

tient, who was very sick. “Well, you
see, doctor, I could not make up my
mind to take such a desperate step.”
’ There is a practical good sense in the
old proverb, “Make hay while the sun
* shines.” One could not very well go
out at night, while the sun doesn’t shine,
and make hay by the light of a lantern.
A lady who never spanked her boy
hard enough to hurt him, recently hung
in her sitting room the illuminated mot
to: “Whatsoever thy hand findcth to
do, do it with thy might.” That boy
, reformed on the soot.
“I wonder,” said a young lady, “ why
Hymen is always represented as carry
ing a torch;” to which her bachelor un
. cle snarlingly responded: “To indicate
tiiat he always makes it warm for peo
' pie who marry.” ■, _ -
A Scotch boy interrrigated his mother
as follows: “Mrther, wull we hae tea

ritch, as usual?"
In Connecticut the method of com
mitting suicide by going to bed with a
pipe or cigar in the mouth, is becoming
very popular. In many localities it is
taking the place of kerosene. It isn’t
so greasy, and don’t smell so bad; and
ana then a man can be asleep during at
least half the dying. Try it, and put a
stop to the gigantic monopoly, kero
sene.
A correspondent asks: “Is butter re
ferred to anywhere in the bible?” Cer
tainly. When “Abraham lifted up bis
eyes and looked, and beheld a ram
caught in the thicket by his horns.” If
our correspondent will read the twenty
second chapter of Genesis he will find
the old patriarch drew his knife across
the butter and offered him as a sacrifice.
—Ex. Our devil wants to know wheth
er or not this was the first time hair
was found on butter. He says it is an
old custom closely adhered to where he
boards.
The dramatic editor of a French pa
per had occasion recently to criticise se
verely the performance of a somewhat
popular actress. Shortly afterward the
lover of the young lady met the jour
nalist in the theatre, and presented him
with a package of goose quills. “This,
sir,” said he, “is a present from Miss
X.” “What!” exclaimed the critic,
“did she tear all these out of yourself?
How you must have suffered !”
The Athens, Georgia, Banner says:
“For many years Moses, a negro, was
a servant of the university of Alabama,
and waited on the students very faith
fully; but he was a most notorious hy
pocrite. lie was commonly called
“Preach” among the boys. One day
be was passing a crowd of students,
when one of them called to him: ‘I say,
Preach, what are you going to do when
Satan gets you?’ ‘Wait on students,1
was the reply.”
- A lltele urchtn of two and a half years
old was visiting at a friend’s house,
where he sometimes got a halfpenny to
spend on sweets, ana attracted the at
tention of tbe inmates by putting the
simple question, “What’ll I buy?”
One of the family dsked where he in
tended to make his purchase, when he
gave the name of a grocer next door.
Then, thinking to bring him to the
point at once, she asked where the half
penny was, and received the suggestive
answer, “I liaena gotten’t, yet.” The
hint had its effect.
Uses for Flax Straw.
It is hoped that the time will soon
come when there will be a market for
flax fiber in this country. At present
flax is grown, except in a few localities
where there are flax-mills, entirely for
the seed. The straw is generally
thrown away, and is sometimes burned.
This straw may be employed for a num
ber of very useful purposes. In the
south farmers have a little apparatus
which they set up in a yard or field, by
Beans of which they make very good
ropes out of cotton, hemp and flax.
Ropes made of flax straw are useful for
securing young trees to stakes, for at
taching vines to posts or trellises, or
far tying about shocks of corn. Flax
straw may also be used to excellent ad
vantage for putting about trunks of
trees in order to protect them from the
boat of the sun. Twisted somewhat
loosely, and wrapped about rose bushes
and tender shrubbery, it affords excel
lent protection.
Flax straw makes excellent packing
for ice. But a comparatively small
amount of it is required. It is clean,
easy to handle, and not as liable to
mold or rot as the substances that are
usually employed. A piece of ice taken
from the house and wrapped in flax
straw may be carried a long distance
with but very little waste. Many farm
ers do not put up ice because it is diffi
cult for them to obtain saw dust or tan
bark for packing. Flax straw makes
good bedding for Ml kinds of stock,
_and^ it is especially good for bugs. It is
'excellent material tor mulching, and
there are few things superior to it for
mulching strawberry vines. It forms a
close sort of matting, on which tbe ber
ries can ripen without being spattered
with mud. Most kinds of stock will
eat flax straw after they have become
accustomed to use it by having small
quantities fed at a time.
The Woman Who Campaigns*
The woman whom the people call “the
campaigner1’ has changed somewhat in
her methods, according to her opportu
nities, since old Tom Newcome’s time.
She frequently goes abroad now, and
may be seen leading a line of men, and
able to hold her own with them, in any
public resort. She is masculine, ty
rannical, and even abusive and brutal,
making her way where a lady would not
care to make herself conspicuous, and
yet, like a true coward, claiming in an
extremity the homage due to her skirts.
She is utterly unreasonable, demands a
seat before one has a chance of offering
her one, prods luckless boys with her
stout umbrella if they happen to be in
her way, requires as much room as a
menagerie, and is followed by a pale,
scared and meek husband who evidently
never spoke above a whisper in his life.
Women she ignores; men she fights.
Ticket sellers know her for a virago, and
woe to the waiter who happens to bring
her a dish which she can contrast with
some other dish on an adjoining table.
Her husband, unfortunately for him, does
not die, but seems forbidden to do so, as
one of them recently said, “under penal
ty of death.” Her favorite weather is
rainy and cold out of doors. Her favor
ite weather indoors, according to her
husband, is rather hot
• a
. il. mtmmirnm to cressl to'Si
Jn©OTo^de»r glam. A hollow gkss
cylinder, suoh as the chimney of a lamp,
is preferable to a flat sheet, as affording
greater facilities for close inspection
and more ready handling. Haring
placed the slug or snail inside the tube,
wait till it has got hold with its sucker
like foot, and then turn the glass around
so as to bring the under side into view.
So long as roe animal remains at rest
there is nothing in particular to attract
one's attention; but the moment the
creature begins to move a. wonderful
change takes place. The first impres
sion is that there must be a hollow
channel along the center of the foot,
through whiah a foaming torrent is
rushing pell-mell from the tail toward
the head. Such, it is scarcely necessa
ry to add, is not the case, and the tor
rential appearance is solely an optical
illusion, due to the successive action of
the surface of the muscular foot in pro
pelling the animal forward. To under
stand the nature of this movement
clearly, take the ease of the caterpillar
when crawling; hirst, the hinder por
tion of the body is drawn up, forming
an arch; then the feet in the front of the
arch are successively raised and those
behind set down, causing the arch to
move forward toward the head, though
the parfcs of the body maintain the same
relative position. By the time the first
loop or “wave,” in the caterpillar's
body has readied its head, whiah it M
ones stretches forward, another “ware”
has commenced at the tail; and so am.
Now, the motion In a snail's foot h t
the same, only the “waves'’-do not af
fect the whole body, as they do in the
caterpillar, and mej fallow each other
quickly as to give rise to the appear^
and of flowing “quid. The margins of
the foot do not participate in this mo
tion, but have a gentle, lateral, undu
lating movement of their own. This
motion of the muscular fibres of the
foot is under the control of the anirnsi
so far as starting and stopping are con
cerned; but the actual motion itself ap
pears to be automatic, and comparable
to that of a locomotive engine where
the driver turns the steam on or off,
leaving the actual work to the mechan
ism itself.
Christian Common Souse.
Golden Rule. /*
There is a lack of ordinary business
shrewdness on the part of some. Chris
tian men and some Christian institu
tions, which is simply amazing. It ex
hibits itself in loose management and
want of provision—in letting things
drift, and trusting in luck baptized with
the name of providence; ami though by
a wretched caricature of faith this is
miscalled “a life of trust,” it is nothing
but a religious Micawberisra that folds
its hands and expects something to
“turnup.” “God helps those who help
themselves.” There is no warrant in
scripture or history for disregard of the
ordinary laws of security and success.
At the gathering of one of the great
benevolent societies a few years ago the
exceedingly sensible proposition was
made to effect life insurances in the case
of its missionaries. The suggestion
was vehemently opposed by one of the
“fathers in grace,” who argued that
“those who are doing the Lord’s work
ought to trust the future of their fami
lies to. the Lord’s care,” and not be
guilty of such an impious forestalling
of divine providence as an actual busi
ness arrangement for their possible
wants. Shame to say it, but the good
brother’s ill-logic prevailed and the
proposition was lost; but he himself
soon after died, leaving his family with
out a dollar, dependent upon the chari
ty of the world for the barest necessities
of food mod clothing.

THE tiREiTENT IX THE
WORIsD.
Without a questiou Buffalo, N. Y., can boast
of the largest and most complete private San
itarium in the world. The Invalid’s Hotel was
founded by Dr. R. V. Pierce, who has repre
sented his district as State Senator and in
Congress, and is known throughout the United
States as the originator of Dr. Pierce’s Family
Medicines, and who has also become widely
celebriteuin the treatment of chronic diseases.
The erection of this mammoth home for inval
ids was made necessary by the large number of
afflicted wh > flocked to Buffalo from all parts
of the United States to consult Dr. Fierce ami
the eminent medical gentlemen associated
with him as the faculty of this celebrated in
stitution. The establishment is said to have
cost nearly half a million of dollars, and is fur
nished with every appliance and facility for the
care of chronic ailments. A correspondingly
large branch institution is located in London,
England. The whole concern is owned and
operated bytlu World’s Dispensary Medical
Association, of which the original Dr. Pierce
is President—his brother, an uncle, and other
eminent medical gentlemen, taking part In the
treatment'of casea. In treating cases they are
not at all confined to the narrow limits of pre
