Ml BILL'S DAUOHTO
Poor Katie I A great sufferer she wag,
and moat patiently did die endure in the
hope that at last her sufferings would
come to an end. She waa just budding
into womanhood; a fine-looking girl of
nearly nineteen, who had, previous to her
attack of illneaa, enjoyed robust health.
Let her mother tell the story, aa she
told it to two of our editorial friends who
recently spent an evening at the house.
' Katie’s illness came on slowly, with
great pain in her thigh and hip. For a
while she kept on going to school, but the
pains became so severe th*. she had to
stay at home, and most of the time lie
down on a iiule lounge here in tbe sitting
room. We tried the best physicians we
could get. Tbe disease baffled them aIL
One said it was ulceration of the thigh
bone, and wanted to have the poor child
undergo a terrible operation. It turned
out to be sciatic rheumatism. Poor
child! bow she did suffer I About four
o’clock in the afternoon she would begin
screaming with pain. Bhe couldn’t help
it She would scream and moan till
about four in the morning. Then she
would fall asleep from weariness, and
sleep for some hours. This went on for
about eight mouths. During the nights
neither she nor I could sleep.
“ Katie wu a great reader. One day,
in a paper, she saw an advertisement of
Athlophoroa. She asked me to set it and
aee if it wouldn’t care her. We had tried
a good many different things, but I
thought we would try this. And I went
and got a bottle. I gave her a dose of it
towards evening. It was simply wonderful
how it quieted the poor child’s pain and put
her into a gent le sleep. She slept nicely
until ten. Then she was in a great
perspiration. She waked, and I gave her
another dose, for the first one had done
her so much good. Then she fell asleep
again and slept till morning. Her pain
was gone. She had hardly any returns of it.
The Athlophoroe did the work for her
m<«t completely.
“ But the terrible sciatica hid drawn
Katie’s leg up, and made it shorter than
it had been, oy several inches. She waa
lame for life, although the rheumatism
was all driven out of her. She had to walk
on crutches. One day she fell down stairs
and was so badly hurt that shs had to be
taken to the hospital. There she suffered
a great deal, and after some weeks she
died.
“ Father Tscheider, of the Paulist
Fathers, saw much of Katie during her
illness, and knows all about us. Go and
ask him, and he will tell you all about it.
Some time ago we gave a letter about
Katie’s case, and it was published We
have had numerous inquiries in reference
to it, all of which we proui|»tly answer.
M 1 must tell you,” continued Mrs. Gill,
“of our neighbor, Mrs. Summers, and her
eleven-year old boy. The boy had one of
the most terrible attacks of rheumatism I
ever knew a boy to have. I had a little
Athlophonw left in the bottle from which
Katie had taken. I gave it to Mrs. Summers,
and she gave it to the chi Id who was scream
ing with pain. When Mr. Summers came
home, he was surprised to find the boy
sitting up, free from pain, and cheerfully
singing. I wish you would go and see
them. They live not far from here, on
West 12th street. No. 906.”
Mr. (>ill added in his own behalf:
" 1 have had a good deal of rheumatism
myself, chiefly in my shoulders and arms.
But I took Athlopfioro* and I got rid of
the trouble. I did not hare to take much
either. I found the medicine acted very
quickly.”
The Her. Father PeterTscheider, assist
ant pastor of the Church of the Holy Fam
ily, was found at his pastoral residence, No.
417 West 12th street, Chicago. Father
Tscheider took pleasure in taring that be
knew Mr. and Mrs. Gill, and that he
esteemed them highly; also that he had
seen Katie frequently during her illness,
and knew all about her wonderful re
covery from sciatica, and her subsequent
injury and her illness at the hospital.

To bluest skfe; that arch the way
I lift my thankful eyes to-day.
The sunlight falls, a golden tide,
O’er airy forests, green and wide;
Pure odors drift the morning throng.
And God has fed me hitherto.
Sweot flower-perfume; thrill the air,
As if from center swung at prayer;
And sweeter fragrance fills my life
With all my Patber's goodness rife;
He gives me roses after roe,
And He has kept me hitherto.
What joy to take His guiding hand.
To tnut, if not to under-Anna-
To rest through change and toil and teart
On Him. whose grand eternal years
In every living youth are new,
And cry, “He leads me hitherto.”
WAS HOBBS RIGHT?
fW. G. David hi Tbe Current ]
It was odd. the way I first met Ilobba
I had been in Florence a year, ostensibly
finishing my education, a phrase always
▼ague enough wl»eu applied to young
men who perform tliat important opera
tion abroad, but especially vague in mi
case. Insensible alworptiou doubtless did
something for me, but as I looked bark
over the year 1 could see no very definite
acquisitions and was not at all pleased with
the retrospect. My well planned assault
on the Italian language had speedily
dwindled into a desultory skirmish on
the borderlands that gave me nothing hut
subsistence; for l had Iwirely learned
enough to order a dinner, while
as for art well, I begin at
the wrong end of that. and
had been ever since in inextricable
confusion. To be sure, I could talk
learnedly enough about It—with those
who know less of it than 1 did—but 1 did
not, and could noL understand it. I
could not bring my mind to books, a not
unnatural reaction, as they had been some
what forcibly brought to it during my
college days. My friends were uninter
eating, and music had few charms for me,
so I fouu i myself spending many hours
in my roon.s, asking myself a great many
times what i was good for, without ever
getting anything like a satisfactory an
swer. and had about made up my mind to
K> home and do something when I met
oblw.
I was sitting one moruing over my
brcakfsst in the cafe where I took that
meal, feeling more than usually dissatis
fied with the world In general ami myself
in particular, and ga/ing idly out of the
open window at the passers by, wbeu my
attention was attracted to a little child
that had strayed out into the middle of
the street and was in imminent danger of
being run over bv a rapidly approaching
carriage, the driver of which was
gaged in conversation with its <
cupanta I start* d to my feet
with an involuntary cry, and as I did so
saw a young man dart from the op|«site
sidewalk, snatch the child from under the
horse's feet and deposit it at the cafe door,
where it was ciaimed by an agitated young
woman, who began a voluble thank offer
ing Tbe young man smiled, nodded,
and, entering the cafe, took a seat at the
table next mine. I have always found a
peculiar pleasure in trying to' assign na
tionality, character, and occupation to
people thus thrown in my way,
and turned eagerly from a con
templation of the street to a scrutiny
of new-comer. The subject of my
speculations this time was in no wax’ re
markah’ It was a young man of me
diuni linght and slender figure, with dark,
almost sallow complexion and tolerably
regular features. Nothing in his dress
served to distinguish him from the other
occupants of the cafe, unless It was a cer
tain negligence that is seldom found in
the young men of Florence. His clothes
fitted him well, yet he seemed not to
know it, for he sprawled out in his chair
as if clothes were furthest from his
thoughts: his vest was half unbuttoned,
his coat dusty. Altogether he was totally
uninteresting, and I would probably
never have notietd him had it not been
for the incident in the street I
was deliberating whether to class
him as Austrian or Greek, for I
felt sure he was no Italian, when
he looked up, caught my eye.
smiled slightly, and said “Good morning. ”
TLen I saw that his eyes were blue, and
under the influence of that smile—tbe
pleasantest, frankest smile I have ever
seen—l responded, “Good morning, ” and
wondered where 1 had met him. Trying
to decide this question I turned again to
tbe window, and only observed from the
corners of my eyes that be drank his cof
fee as if be thoroughly enjoyed it, and
when lie had finished It took a cigarette
from his pocket, lighted It, and settled
back in his chair as if he meant to enjoy
that also. After smoking a few moments
be got up, and, coming to my table, stood
looking out of the window for a long
time in silence. At length lie turned to
me and said. “Bored?”
“What does the fellow mean?” I
thought, and was about to reply curtly,
when, looking up, I saw he was smiling
at me
“Bored? Why, no Why do you ask?”
I asked feebly.
“Because you look so, ”he answered
promptly.
’’Well', ” I said, “I don't know but that
I am a little at a loss for something to do
this morning. ”
He looked at me for a moment in
silence, with a half wondering, half quiz
zlcal 100. in his eyes, and then said:
“I am likely to have excitement enough
before noon. “
“How s that?" I asked.
“Well, my landlord has Intimated some

poor one, for he will not see enough evi
dence of genius in me to make him will
ing to trust me any longer. lie is ah
surdly ludicrous when angry, and if you
think it will furnish you any amusement,
why come along and see it I shall enjoy
it immensely."
Nothing loath for this trivial even di
version, ami feeling an unaccountable in
terest in tiiia strange fellow, I got up and
followed him into the street. He thrust
his hand into the pockets of bis coat, and.
turning down a side street, led the way
toward a pari of the city more noted for
its aristocracy four centuries ago than
today.
“ You *je, ” be said, I have a number of
pictures for sale in the shops, and thought
that some of them might have been soid,
hut I have been looking around, aud find
they hare not been going off very fast;"
and added after a short pause, “1 don’t
like my rooms any way; they're too small,
and the light’s not good. *
Arrived at iaat to our destination, we
ascended flight after flight of stepa until
we reach the rooms, a studio and bed
room, in the top story.
A half dozen unfinished pictures stood
on easels and against the walls in the
studio. The scant furniture was of
the most heterogeneous description. A
rickety, plebeian looking chair stood be
fore a delicately carved writing desk that
might once hare graced a palace of the
Medici. On the floor was a Turkish rug,
much worn and liberally bestrewed with
bits of rag and cigarette stumps. On the
mantel stood aa iron figure of the cruci
fixion. flanked by cigars, a blacking
brush, books, letters. I hail barely noted
these things when the landlord, a abort,
fat, ball of a man entered grew very
much excited when informed there was

aows oi my sitting room iur

work, so in It be pieced his eeseL My
evenings, dull sod profitless, were now
spent in pleasant converse with Hobbs,
whom I found s most delightful compan
ion He bad traveled much, and seemed
to know a little of every possible subject,
though when he had traveled or how he
had learned so much, for he was barely
five and twenty, and rarely read anything,
were equally inexplicable t« me Ibe
came muck attached to him, indeed, his
genial insouciance, hh utter unselfishness,
and his bright, ever ready wit were all
conquering, and yet as I learned to know
him better I saw that he had many
faults. Foremost of these was his utter
thriftlessness. He would pass whole weeks
of almost complete impecuniosity. as gay
as a lark, living in a hap hazard Bo
hemian way. refusing any assistance
fin ishing his dinner of a crust and a gla.-,
of water with a merry dissertation upon
the follv of high-living, and then, a pic
ture being sold, would insist pon a sup
per at the most expensive restaurant Fn
the city, and on such occasions no game
was too rare, no wines too costly, and no
ckrars too good for ua I always pro
tested against such extravagance, but
argument and supplication were alike in
vain, for he brushed them both aside with
a wave of his hand, and would take no
refusal. And wh«t a treat were those
•uppers to roe! Hobbe, always entertain
ing. became fairly magical under the
tripie influence of meat, wine, and a filled
purse.
Another trait that displeased me in
Hobbs was his inconsistency. He was
very clear and positive in his opinions, an
ardent advocate of the truths or Christian,
ity, and of strict views of morality, vet
he never went to church, although always
intending to, occasionally drank more
wine than was good for him. and, I re
gret to add. swore with great vigor and
fluency when bis pictures were rejected.
He was very irregular in his work,
and would pass weeks with
out touching brush to canvas,
and then for a week paint
almost incessantly. He always seemed
perfectly satisfied with his finished
Eoductions and never saw the
tst justice in any criticisms that any
one ventured to make, and yet he was a
shrewd critic of others' work He was
always lamenting that he was not fa
mous. A famous painter, be said, could
paint as be chose. I suggested that fa
mous painters chose to paint well, and
that fame was only to 1* attained by fol
lowing th- methods of great masters.* He
would vehemently declare that the
great masters might be hanged,
that no man was worthy the
name of artist unless he had
something to say, and was brave
enough to say it in his own way. I found
it a pleasant pastime to sit and watch
Hobbs at bis work. He was never so ab
sorbed but that he could listen and talk,
and it was on these occasions that I began
to derive my first correct ideas on art. for
whatever Hobhs was in practice, in all
theory he was well nigh perfect. I can
see him now. |>ausiug to turn and brand
ish his brush at n.e as he lays down his
ideas.
One day, upon returning from my
morning walk. I found Hobhs engaged
in painting the portrait of ay oung woman,
while an older one sat in a window work
ing upon some embroidery. I recognized
the latter as a Mrs. Anstein, the
wife of an old American resi
dent, and the former was introduced
as her niece. Miss Vernon, just out fron
America Miss Vernon was very beau -
ful, with delicati complexion, fair hair,
and dark blue eyes It was evident that
Hobbs and she had already liecome good
friends, and I was not long in coming to
the conclusion that, rapidly as he worked,
her image was being transferred to some
thing other than his canvas with still
greater rapidity. She sat apparently all
unconscious that there was any other
than a purely business aspect to the sit
ting. Hobbs talked a great deal, and
made himself very entertaining, and I
thought the more so that Miss Vernon
seemed an excellent listener. She seemed
without tbe least pretense; frankly
confessed her ignorance of sub
jects with which many young women
would have feigned acquaintance, and re
ceived the delicate compliments which
Hobbs ventured as he put in au eye or a
lock of hair as if she had no doubt of his
sincerity, but was a little afraid his judg
ment was not good.
Before the portrait was finished Hobbs
had become a frequent caller at Mrs.
Anstein s, and not long after he told me
one day of his engagement to Miss
Vernon. As I had foreseen the likeli
hood of the result I was not surprised,
and congratulated him warmly, as I
thought it the best thing that could hap
pen to him. He said it was Miss Vernon's
wish that the engagement should not be
made public for a time
“ How do you propose to support a wife
when you find it so difficult to support
yourself?" I asked.
“Oh’ that'll be all right. * said he
“I suppose you know she is poor?" I
observed.
“Yes,” said Hobbs, “What of that?
Bo am I;" and, and throwing his leg over
the arm of his chair, he surveyed the
room as if to see how it would do for Mrs.
Hobbs.
After this be worked steadily aud with
good success, and might have laid be
some money had lie been endowed with
the least prudence, but he saved nothing.
I did not despair, for I knew that Miss
Vernon bail never been rich, and 1 heard
her described as a young woman of good
sense, so 1 thought she might easily ap
point herself financier.
One evening, about a month after bis
engagement, Hobbs came in earlier
than usual, and I saw at once that
something haJ happened to disturb him.
He was pale and haggard, and his eye
avoided mine He dropped into a chair
and seemed plunged In deep thought 1
thought him ill and asked what was the
matter. “Nothing," he said. When 1
went to bed I left him sitting there, with
his legs stretched out before him and
his head cn his breast, aud when I en
tered tlie room in the morning he was
there still looking as if he had not moved.
He arose, said “ Good morning,” and,
going to the mantel, filled and lighted hfe
pip.-.
After pacing up and down a few moments
in silence, he took the pi(« from his lipa,
and still walking to fro. began:
“I have a story to tell you. It is about
myself, aud will explain my conduct last
night You have doubtless wondered
some about mv past history. It has been
uneventful. I was born in a city of one
of the southern states, where ray father
was a portrait painter, as his father and
grandfather had been before him. When
I was 5 years old my father died poor,
and left my mother and myself to
the care of his best friend, a
man some years younger than him
self, who had been attracted to
him by bis love for art To this man I
owe everything I have and am. All that
ia good in me comes from his bounty and
example. When I was 21 I tcV. him that
I was resolved to rely no more on him,
and that I meant to try and justify by my
life his great goodness to me. I meant it,
and have honestly tried to keep my word.
He told me earnestly that he bad no fears
for my future If I would only do my duty
as 1 saw it I have alw-vs seen my duty
dearly and rightly en. but I don't
remember ever having done it thor
oughly.
" Last night Miss Vernon told me that
the time bad come for making our
engagement known. Her parents,
she said, had always intended to
marry her to an old family
friend, a man much older than
herself, who had loved ho- from a child,
who was In every way worthy of her re
spect, and whom she woukf probably
have married had she not met me She
•aid that be is now about starting for
Florence, and that she thought her
parents ought to be informed of our en
gagement before he arrives Then taking
n photograph album from the table she
opened It and said. ‘This is he; do you
not think him handsomer The face was
that of the man whose kindness to me 1
> ve told you of. I was too much over
arms to any anything, and came away at
once, pleading a sudden India position. I
vpent last night in frying to find out my
duty in tliis matter, A have found
jL I aec It dearly. I shall see Mies
Vernon for the Mat time to-night,

All the arguments that my ingenuity
oould suggest were vain.
That night when Hobbs called at Mrs.

One night we had sat long in his library

Adulteration of Honey.
[Philadelphia Times |
The adulteration of food has been prac
ticed to *uch an extent that purchasers no
longer expect to get a pure article, even
when paying the highest prices It is
generally believed that two thirds of the
milk sold in all our great cities is deprived
of half its cream: it is known that but
ter is made from beef fat and cotton seed
oil; maple syrups have lately been made
'rom most anything of a sweet nature,
and now it is stated that most of the
honey we eat is manufactured, and that
much of it lias not even a drop of genuine
hooey about it. This alleged honey was
first sold in this city some five or six years
ago. Its sale at first was a<-aut, but for
the past two years it has become very pop
ular. and it is claimed that there is now
but little else to be found in the market.
Home of it is sold as manufactured honey,
though a great deal of it is dealt out to
unsuspecting purchasers as the natural
product of the honey bee
The spurious kind is usually put up iu
little square boxes, which sell for from 2.7
to 30 cents a pound. It looks like honey,
and it is said that it takes an excellent
judge to tell that it is a fraud on the bee
The comb is manufactured with such
skill that few can tell it from the genuine
article. It la made from par&fline or bees
wax, and the honey is blown into it by
machinery. Another kind is put up in
glass vessels like ordinary jelly packages,
the centre of which contains a piece of
honeycomb, and the honey is made by
pouring about six parts of glucose around
one part of houey in the comb. Some of
it is adulterated with glucose, some with
cane sugar, and others bv heating ordi
nary sugar with an acid; 6ut it all reaem
blea honey, and to a certain extent has its
flavor and odor.
Origin of the Roller Skate.
[Sew York Graphic.]
Roller skates were invented by that very
ingenious man, Gabriel Havel, of the
Ravel Pantomimists, and “The Skaters of
Wilna, " performed at N iblo’s Garden over
forty years ago. A smart Yankee by the
name of Plympton caught on the Idea,
and somehow not many years ago got out
patents here and in England for them and
realized a fortune: As far as I can sec
and remember there Is not the slightest
alteration from Gabriel’s original skate.
Crude petroleum is now used in the
Brooklyn fire department engines, and
tbe cost is said to be less than one fifth
that of coal. There are also no sparks
Tbe yearly consumption of meats in
the l nited States per capita is 120 pounds;
in England. 104 pounds; France, 74

THY NEGRO DIALECTS.
Virginia, Kent nr kj, '‘Cornfield,** Congo,
Louisiana, "River” and "’Mulatto.”
[R-'v R. H. Adair in Detroit Free Press.l
There are on’y a few dialect writers of
the African lingo in the United States.
Most of the dialect writers are regarded
by the negroes as caricaturing them.
Such they are the quickest to beri-eive and
the readiest to curse most bitterly. A
negro’s perceptive organs are extremely
quick, and personally they are the proud
est people on earth. It is a fact not much
known to dialect writers that there are
seven distinct dialects among the negroes,
so that the master of the subject can tell a
negro's origin by hearing his speech.
They are as follows:
1. Peculiar to the Virginia negroes.
Every one of these old white headed ones
has seen and waited on “.Jineral Wash
ington. ” They look upon the rest of the
world as divided into three classes: “white
gemmens and ladies, " “ pore white trash. ”
“common niggers. ” They are as a class
the most honorable and trustworthy men
and women I have ever known If you
use their lingo to convey the idea of any
thing low, cunning or mean, if they could
get hold of you they would hate you
with a most bitter hatred. It would
argue a lack of skill as a linguist.
2. The Kentucky dialect, peculiar to
Kentucky and Teunessee
A The cornfield dialect, peculiar to the
commonest and meanest negroes who
have never been beyond the limits of the
farm.
4 The Congo dialect, peculiar to the
pure blood African and his immediate de
scendants. The negro clown always ex
cels in this dialect
5. The Louisiana dialect, peculiar to the
negroes who have been in the possession
of the French. It is of difficult accent
6. The river dialect peculiar to negro
boatmen, fishermen, etc., and which can
not be written to any advantage, but
which, learned for the stage, would ac
quire great celebrity.
7. The mulatto, peculiar to the carriage
drivers, waiting maids, negro barbers,
fiddlers, dancing masters, body servants,
preachers and other “distinguished" per
sons among them. To exjseas any “po
lite" idea in any other language would
give these negroes as great a contempt for
the writer as the high-toned high church
man has for the ordinary exhorter.

A VISIT TO THE GEETHING CRATER
OF KILAUEA.
Landscape in Hilo— Home of the God
dees Pele-A Benatifull Lake-
Fountain of Blood tied lrr»
Perilous Journey.
[Cor San Francisco Alta.]
The next morning broke bright and
clear and enabled us to see exactly where
we were-in a large frame house not far
from the edge of a great hole in the
world, from 600 to 1,000 feet deep and
some nine miles in circumference.
Mauna l.oa, to the right, swept up from
the plain 10.U0U feet above us. Mauna
hea with its snowy crown, rising still
higher, appeared in the northwest
scarcely farther off. The atmosphere
was clearer than crystaL Distances
on all sides , were to the eye
amazingly diminished This is one
reason why Kilauea fails so much at
first, nature Laving done all her work on
a gigantic scale. A trial of distances on
foot soon determines this fact, and res[<ect
and wonder at the scene proportionately
increases. So perfectly distinguishable
are objects on the further bank of the
crater that the visitor is slow to believe
that the distance in a straight line is more
than three miles and that nine miles will
haidly give its circumference Surround
ing the house on all sides were deep fis
sures and holes in the earth, throwing out
scalding steam Some of them were in
crusted with sulphur. others on iheii
backs condensed the steam into water,
Which when cool is very tine drinkiug.
After breakfast we prepared ourselves
for a visit to the crater, and, u(>on asking
for a guide, we were again courteously
informed that none was to he had, as they
were all busy attending to his stock up on
the mountain side There being no bel|
for it, we started by ourselves for the
-•rater. The first descent was quite ab
rupt. but the path soon became leas steep
and more circuitous, though none the less
fatiguing, for the last half of the way
down the bank was a slippery, inclined
plane. I found it very wearisome, partic
ularly as we were then exposed to the con
cent rated heat from the sides and base of
the crater. We found the walking firm
and struck off directly across the center ol
the lake. The lava was of Inky blackness
and as smooth as satin, and lay about us
in great coils, like ships’ hawsers Occa
sionally we came upon deep cracks am:
cavities of various sizes, partially covered
with a thin crust Ibe surface, gener
ally, was porous for an ineb or so in
depth, as if formed from froth or lava
Great blocks, as perfectly quarried as ii
cut by a stonemason, lay strewn about u*
in great < on fusion.
The ascent into the body of the crat* r
was over a rise of lave broken up or eon
fusedly piled together. There was no
difficulty in surmounting this, or, indeed,
in traversing the crater in any direction,
beyond keeping a sharp lookout for the
numerous chasms into which the lava, in
cooling, splits up. We saw but few conet
that were active, beyond a slight smoke
or steam, and all the lakes or minor crater*
and canals were black and cold. Hot air
issued from a few crevices, bat no othet
evidence of fire could la* seen. The as
cent was very gradual until within half n
mile of the lake where it became mort
Abrupt and the lava more broken. How
wver there was no danger or trouble be
yond a little more care in picking our
way. The chasms were easily jumped
over, or, if we found one wider and mort
suspicious looking than usual we avoided
it by a little detour. As we neared the
fountain of this great black sea cones ap
peared dripping with sulphur and spout
mg steam and fire, and a dull roar, as oi
a lion, greeted our eara A few
more steps and we stood on the
brink of the great Lake lialemaumtu.
It burst upon our visions with beautiful
effect, and we sat down and reveled in the
scene It was not grand, nor terrific, nor
startling; it was heaulifuL I was disap
pointed. I bad looked for fury, tempest,
and frenzy in this lake of fire I found a
terrible composure. The surface of tin
lake was incrusted with a dull, gray coat,
which the red lava almost instantly as
snmes on exposure to the air. But f wa*
soon relieved of my disappointment, f t
either the wind or its own inner agony
roughened its surface, and the dull gray
«oat was cut up into rivers, lakes, canals,
and streams cf liquid lava, iuterpersed
with jets and fountains, the whole in con
tinued action. The entire lake was swell
ing and boiling with the intensity of its
fires t rust after crust of the lava, like
huge masa-e of ice, would 1 e rent
asunder, lifted up. and then disappear in
the fiery caldron beneath. Every minute
changed the outline. The surface of tin
lake, assumiug new forms and new octiou,
wore the changeable aspect of a kaleido
scope A low, deep, hissing sound fell
upon my ears as the wiud, which blew it
from us, occasionally lulled.
Words cannot do ustice to the wierd
beauty of tbe scene. V\ e were in turns
silenced by deep admiration, or loud in
exclamations of delight, calling each
other’s attention te some new actios
which would be over almost as soon as it
could be noticed, so rapid were tbe
changes. As we were altout turning
away from this scene, so remindful of the
many horrors of Dante's dream, a mighty
disturbance began in the center of the
lake. Its surface was upbeaved, and the
very mountains seemed to shake and
tremble with the mighty convulsion.
Slowly and delHierateiy. as if with a set
tied purpose, the movement began, and
then, with one tremendous spring, the
fountain shot into the air a column of
blood red lava fully eighty feet in height
For a few seconds it hung in mid air. and
then, dissolving, fell back into the lake
with an awful, aweinspiring, fearful
sound and wallowed slowly to tbe shore,
leaving the gray sea behind it lashed into
a bloody foam. We turned slowlv away,
awed and impres-<ed by this terrible evi
deuce of the magnitude of the works of
nature and the omnipotent Maker of all
things.

We have received a long private and
personal letter from a prominent lowa
prohibitionist saying that a certain gen
tleman should not be nominated for the
governorship by the Republicans be
cause be is not a prohibitionist. The
easels a very clear one to our view.
The people of lowa said by a decided
majority, according to their forms of
law and state government and at a non
partisan election that they wanted a
prohibitory law of certain sub
stance. The Republican party being in
the majority ana being tbe organism by
which the law had to be made properly
pledged itself to carry that will into
law and did it. With that its repon*fc>
bility ceased. In the platform in which
it pledged itself to make that law it
said it only did so as a non-partisan
law demanded by the people in a non
partisan way. And it declared that it
liiado the question no test of ltepubl -
canisu. The Republican pnrtv cannot
honestly or honorably bunk that word.
It kept its word as to passing the law.
by the same warrant it must keep its
pledge as to maintaining the no-pur-
Ittnship of the law and that it shall not
la* a test of Republicanism. Ihe Re
public an party battled outlie death
line to keep its word that the law
should U* made on those conditions
Xow no prohibitionist can honestly or
honorably go to the slate convention
and claim that the pat tv having at the
l*eri! of defeat and death pa*»td the
non-partisan law lie proiHises that it
shall lie as to tlie second part of its
declaration and make the law into a
test of Republicanism. For one we do
nor propose to be a party of self-slulti
licaiion and duplicity. We were in
sistent that tbo part} should stand by
the people’s will and pass the law.
Now ihe law rests with I lie people.
The Republican party should |K*runt
no test to Ik* set up for any man or
flare on its state ticket Have; Is lie a
Republican? honest, uptight, capable,
suitabley We, for one. shall support
Beck for supreme judge, not l**causc
lie is a prohibitionist; because ne is a
Republican, honest, upright, capable,
suitable. We shall supp »rt Larraliee
for governor, not because lie is an anti
pmhihiliouist, but because be is a Re
publican, honest, upright, capable, suit
able. And after what Republicanism
has done lor prohibition,aiul after pro

A Sad Death.
Iti Philadelphia recenlly at a coro
ner’a inquest over tin* inly of a child,
the jury returned a verdict lliat death
whs caused by the administration of a
patent cough syrup, containing mor
phia. Dr. Nim’l K. Cox, of Washing
ton, states that not one cough medicine
in ten is free from this objection. Aft
er direful analysis and practical tests
lie endorses Red Star Cough Cure as
being purely vegetable, absolutely free
from opiates, poisons and narcotics.
He regards it ns most happy and val
uable discovery.
Some Really Qaeer Cuitonu.
The manners and customs of the
Massi, as descii>K*tl by Mr. .Joseph
Thotn|ison in the arcouuL of his recent
travels iu Africa, are to put it in the
mildest language, most peculiar, and a
whole chapter is d< voted to the de
scription ol them. Their usual method
of sulution on meeting is to spit iu one
another’s faces, and more copious the
expectoration ihe greater the friend
saip; and Mr. Thompson, having been
voted a great medicine man, was ex
pected to heal diseases in this way but
so great was the demand on his sal
ivary organs that he could only satisfy
his patients by taking repeated
draughts of water.
Equally strange is the oustoni of ail
unmarried men and women living in
villages together. While the married
folks live r»y themselves; these latter
are allowed to eat what they like, but
the unmarried ones may only eat meat
and drink milk. As soon as a man
marries he ceases to lie a warrior, and
has to tend the herd of cattle. He is
no more allowed to join in cattle raids,
or the extermination of his neighlnirs
which is continually going on, and
which seems to ire the greatest delight
that the young Massi is capable of en
joying; and it is probably because they
would have to forgo the pleasures of
rapine and bloodshed that these amia
ble jteople decline entering into tbe
state of matrimony, which after all, is
a tm re form, for virtue, as we under
stand it, is unknown to them.
They have certainly a kind of relig
ion but very little even of that, and
seetu to have no belief in a future, as
ail dead bodies aie thrown to the hy
enas, who are so encouraged by being
thus continually fed that if no one
should die to provide them with a
feast, they help themselves to the liv
ing by taking the children out of the
huts.

Cutting Ginas with Sciasor*.
Many jtersons may not lie aware that
glass can be cut under water with
greatest ease, to almost any shape, by
simply using a pair of shears or strong
scissors. In order ' insure success,
two points mum • ended to—first
and most impoi glass must be
kept quiet level i. ater while the
scissors are apj»P J. secondly, to
avoid risk, it i ,er to begin the
cutting by takingof small pieces at the
corni .s and along ‘he edges, and to re
duce the shape gradually to that re
quired, for if any attempt is made to
cut the glass to the shape as we would
cut a piece of eardlxiard, it will lie most
likely to break just where it is not
wanted. Some kinds of glass cut much
better than others; the softer glass is
the best for this purpose. The scissors
need not depend on the state ol the
edge presented to the glass. When the
operation goes on well, the glass breaks
away from the sissors in small pieces
in a straight line with the blades. This
method of cutting glass has often been
of service, where a diamond has not
been at baud for cutting ovals and
segments, and though the edges are
not as smooth as might be desired for
soiu*purp>ses, it will answer in many
cases. The two hints above given, if
strictly followed, will always insure
success.
The gratitude of a father, when his
offspring are relieved from disease is
something touching to behold. Elliott
Dubois, of Indanapolis, had triple
cause for gratitude to the inanuf.tctur
er of Mishier’s Herb Bitters, for he
writes: “All my three children have
been cured of worms by your bitters.
It is far ahead of all the worm lozenges
ever made."

of the Physical Society, London, l*rof
Guthrie, the President, exhibited speci
mens showing the similarity of fracture
of Canada balsam and glass. The glass
