I nfortuiulcly ha became In volved In a quarrrl during bia early manhood and took the life of a fellow maa. Although eiooeraUd by tbe Jury, tht Intimate friend of tbe judge ar Inclined to the bullet that bia fu ture life waa. In a meaaure, controlled by hla early mlnfortuue. However, it man ever lived who enjoyed a Ogbt thai roan waa Judge Hammock. He bore no malice and no marka when an affray wai ended, but a fellow to earch of trouble never went begging when tbe Judge waa In tbe communl and the aame man never went In arch the terood time. During bia term aa circuit judge of the llartivllle OUtrlct a wanton Insult waa given him by an attorney at tbe bar. In an or derly and quiet way Judge Hummock ordered the iheriff to adjourn court for two mlnutea. Tben. walking outalde the roatrum, he picked up a chair and abaltered It to piecee over the offend er'! head. "Call the court to order," aid be to the officer, and, resuming bia place on the bench remarked: "Gentlemen, when any one caret to Iniult this court let nothing prevent" Ihtldroa's KlsreUea. The amount of exertae n chldhood and youth should be carefully regulat ed as In many Instances ambitious children will far exceed their strength In the effort to avoid being outdone by older and more robust companions, lu Infancy the almont Incessant move ments of a baby's limbs show how Im perative Is tbe Instinct of nature t-r muscular exercise. Hence It la im portant not to restrict too much tin freedom of Infanta, and care should be taken to prevent their clothing being too Ujht to allow ample freedom lor the limbs. Even the cry of a young child is often useful as a mean of ex ercising the muscles of the chest, ind In moderation must not be dlscouragJ. The beat muscular exercise for young children, says a well known writer, In th movement to which they are led by their natural playfulness. They, If left to themselves, will run, tumble and wreatle with each other like sportive kittens. Each limb and every muscle of their bodies will by turns rise and fall, swell, contract and perform all the actions of which they are capable. They are haioly at rest a moment.nr.d each movement they make Is of f.he freest and most graceful kind. Not ing can be more favoraMe for the first development of the muscular system, and, In fact, for vigorous growth and sound health, than the motions of n child In the tree Indulgence of Its play ful moods. During childhood and youth ettorta should be made to exercise ev ery Important muscle of tbe body, each In Its turn, so aa to secure for all a complete and symmetrical devel opment and consequently robust health. Our trkMt la Cat, guide auks ua to keep silent; then, lifting the heavy, broad paddle with which he haa been propelling our boat, be strtafta with all bia strength the list side on the surface of the wat er. Inntantly tbe subterranean thunders of this under-world are let loose. From all directions come rolling waves ot sound, multiplied a thousandfold, re oedlng. and again returning with In creasing volume, lingering for many seconds, and finally dying away In sweet, far away melodlea. Then, when tbe last faint sounds have ceased, he agitates tbe water with his paddle, and asks aa to listen. Tbe receding waves, reaching ravltllea In the aides of the overhanging arches, break tbe stillness with sweet bell-like aonnds. I El ltil.NTERM. BY B. W BO MAN. rapal pills are augur coated. Credulity la tbe basis of Rome ! re ligion. Get a papist to thinking and the priest will curse you. The priesfa blindest eye la on the aide where tbe moat money cornea from. A Bible U the most hurtful book a papiat can read if wo juage irom Rome's past acta. No man can walk with clvilltatlou and stay in the woods ot papal saper- atitlon. Rome wears a rellgiou. cloak, yet Some notea, striking tbe key-note of DM a c0& heart the rocks, multiply the musical melody; soma -notea are soft and low; others are loud, almoat with an alarm-bell clangor. This munlc. such as cannot be heard elsewhere on earth, gradua.iy dies away In receding echoes, coming over the watera from far-away hidden cbambera. Tbe echo Is not such as we bear above ground or In buildings. but a succession of receding wavea of sound, laatlng for about thirty seconds. and adding an Indescribable melody to all aounds, whether from shouting or from Instrumental or vocal music "The Mammoth Cave of Kentucky." by John R. Proctor. In the Century. ArMUrtal (tables. In a recent lecture Prof. A. P. Drown ot Philadelphia described the methods now practiced for making artificial gems. Although minute diamonds can be made, with the aid of the electric furnace, none large enough to be em ployed la jewelry have yet been pro duced. But rubies of large site, and as One In color and appearance aa the best natural gems, have been made. The ruby Is composed of oxide of alum inium. A certain method ot detecting artificial rubles Is by examination with a microscope. The natural gem is al ways tilled with minute cracks, Invis ible to the naked eye, but perfectly dis cernible with a high magnifying pow er. The artificial ruby baa no cracks, but. on the other hand, is filled with minute bubblea, or gas-holes. This teat, according to Professor Brown, Is tbe only one by which the best artificial rubles can be distinguished from the aame gems as nature makes them. Youth's Companion. Cdnrats Railroad Moa. The Vienna training school tor rail road employes, now in its sixtieth year, does not, like the Buda-Pesth in stitute, prepare men tor appointments, but Is designed to Increase the special knowledge ot railroad employes and fit them for promotion. The lowtr yearly course embracea bookkeeping, traffic geography, railroad technology; ascription ot goods transported, etc., the higher comprising custom-house regulations, railroad, law, political economy, traffic statistics and electro technology. The students are divided Into regular and extraordinary classes, and the small expenses of the school are defrayed by the railway companies, which give preference when making promotions to' students whose examl- natlontt are most creditable. New hDRiaad'a Early Currency. The earliest money, or substitute tor money, d.nd In the colonies except, perhaps, small quantities that were brought from England waa the In dian money, known as "wampum," or "wampumpeag," tor brevity called "peag." 'I his "peag" was tor a long time usid as money both among the ludiaDs and the settlers; though It would appear that the Massachusetts colouitits had some other kind of mon ey in use. as in 1635 the court ordered that "brass farthings shall be discon tinued and musket balls shall pass tor farthing." Exchange. 1'erhapa. KicuJit a father had Just been strug gling with an old fashioned bureau and retiring disheartened from an unsuc cessful effort to open one of Its com partments, he moved to the window and looking out upon tbe lowering sky he exclaimed: "It's mighty strange that the weather bureau can't give us a change of weather." "Maybe," shy ly interposed Freddie, "they can't open the bureau drawers." Boston Courier. Chorea Hurled la tka Ha ad. Engineering Magaslne: There are several Instances where lighthouses have been Increased In height because of the sand which haa engulfed them. In one place on the New Jersey coast I once stumbled upon -the corner of an old rail fence which had been burled and exposed again on the ocean side. It marked the site of an old Deld. On the North Carolina dunes, chimneys projecting above the sand belong to the houses of an eld fishing village. In France and the.- parts of Europe vil lages have been burled. At Soulac, in Gascony a cross was discovered pro jecting above the sand. Further in vestigation showed that It waa attach ed to a steeple, and later a well-pre served church of the thirteenth cen tury waa excavated. The church Is now in use. Telephone Halo la Swltaerlaod. The Swiss government haa put into force a new telephone tariff. The for mer charges tor the use of a telephone were 80 francs ($16) per year. The new Tate Is only 40 francs. 8) per year. In is gives tne suDscriner con nection within the town where he lives. Aa In the united States, an ex tra charge la made for connection with points outalde the limits of tbe city or township where the subscriber resides, But these charges are also vastly low er than here. The switching charges, with a three-minute time limit, are as follows: Six cents for up to thirty-one miles, 10 cents up to sixty-two miles, and IS cents for greater distances. A confeaaional box li tne tomb ot self-respect. Wearing a cross doe not cur cross ness. Hatred is nursed by papal prejudice. The brighter history shines the dark er Rome's record. It is hard to convince a papist who lets the priest do bis thinking. To know that Doverr is a curse makes a man want to rid the earth ot it. Keeping knowledge in the hands ot the priest starves tbe minas or tne people. You can never tell what a paplet will do out of a church by his looks ot de votion within. Rome haa trouble with the man who does his own thinking. Popery throws the most mud at the whitest garments. The priest does an evil day's work when he gets a child to go to the paro chial school. Every dollar in Rome's possession Is stamped with fraud. No man's Influence is so small but what he could make It tell against Rome. When Rome gives money she always puts a chain of power on It. Truth Is always ready to go to war; error will run at the first opportunity. Every fact ia an antidote for some foolish fancy. When a man sees the truth he be holds the deformities ot error. Knowledge kills many papal myths. n6 matter how old they may be. Bigotry is the mirror of credulity. True religion is out of place in a mass house. Truth may be put in the grave, but it won't stay there. When the forces of patriotism are divided treason comes out ahead. Holding on to pagan superstition gives Rome a mortgage on your faith. Priests make use of the politicians who keep themselves ready to be used as tools. If Rome does a charitable act it Is to gain favor with those Bhe can after wards rob. Remember that bruising the ser pent's .head is safer than pinching his tail. Give Rome use ot our politicians and she will soon control our government. Fighting truth is an old trick ot popery: and it has become aa adept at It. j Tre man who live only tor himself Is always oopostd to reform meaturea. When a man baa a heart big enough to love ail mankind without respect to crexd, be is uo good for tbe pope. Tbe politician who 1 always on tbe bunt for votei Instead of feeling the pa triotic pulse will never fight political corruption. No man is living up to bis p-illtlcal duties who fall to oppose the enemies of national peace, purity atd prosper lty. Tbe man wbo praises Martin Lather and courts Gibbon or Ireland la a huge humbug. Some preachers never think it la worth while to be a true Prote.tact lu the pulpit. It Is the Protestantism which fight Rome's error against which the devil burls bis invectives tbe hardest. Keep yourself wU posted on Rome's latest movements and you can help check her fatal progress. Oce ot Rome's best hiding place U behind a ille of money. CUT-PniCE 300r$S Here's a Book Bargain!
