.w DEATH L\ 11111 STOEM. PITILESS WORK OF THEGfANT TWJN% WIND AND WAVE. Haw Cruel at Tinwi Bctmi the Oceaa—The Moat Populous Cemetery on the Pluiet. TIM Land the Book TelU mt Wfeef* "There Shall Be No Store 8e«uM- xxi, 1. there was no more ae*.—Revelation And What a Btrange mystery the oceaa is! Sometimes it holds your little craft as tenderly as a mother holds her child, and yon wonder that the charge of caprice can be brought against it. At other times it is like an angry ogre who has a tyrant's power and uses it like a tyrant. It is a marvelous sight, a spectacle of thrilling magnificence which makes the blood tingle, to stand on the beach at such a time and watch the serried col umns of white capped rollers dash them* selves to pieces on the sands. They re mind you of Napoleon's army at Water loo, which had wandered over Europe with victorious banners, which dreamed of no force which could resist its prog ress, but suddenly found itself face to face with its master, and then, with un controlled madness, threw itself to death as well as to defeat. The huge array of white capped monarchs, thinking them selves invincible, attack the shore with ferocious energy and pound themselves to spray. The heart beats wildly as this great battle between sea and land fills the air with thunder, and poet and painter come from far to witness the conflict and describe its glories with pen and brush. But how cruel the ocean can be when it catches otir craft at a disadvantage! Wind and waves in unholy alliance, a compact of death, make the world's cheek blanch with horror as the work of destruction goes on. These twin giants seem to be moved by a common hatred of whatever floats, and as though every vessel was an intruder on their domain tear it to pieces and doom it to disaster. The sails are cut into tatters, their masts are torn away as though the rigging were made of pack thread, and the huge hull is either sent to the bottom or thrown high on th« beach in disdain. The sun in very pity creeps behind the veiling clouds for awhile, and when it shines again, after the waves have sub sided and the tempest has spent itself, the coast is strewn with wrecks and many a brave sailor lies with upturned face on the sands. That was sad news which flashed over the wires one Thursday morning. One story followed on the heels of another until disaster seemed to be multiplied by itself, and each account was more pitiful than the last. A fisherman out rode the gale for awhile and then went down with all hands a sturdy freighter off Hatteras was dismasted, sprang a leak and sank, leaving only one sur vivor to tell the tale: scores of lesser craft were torn from their anchorage, and the Jersey shore was literally stewn with wreckage. Other vessels which had managed to outlive the hurricane were towed into harbor, either the cap tain or part of the crew missing. The book of Revelation tells us that in that other country from whose bourne Ho traveler returns "there shall be no more sea," and on this Sunday morning we breathe a sigh of relief over the statement. We can dispense with its magnificence if we may be rid of its dangers. It has devoured millions of property and is the most populous cem etery on the planet. When the sea gives up its dead, a countless multitude of the lost will reappear. But we are specially impressed with the lesson which tho great storm empha sizes—namely, the uncertainty of life. On the ocean the unexpected happens more frequently than elsewhere. At one moment a cloudless sky and a musical ripple along the vessel's side. The long roll lifts the craft, which lazily yields to the rhythmic motion of the waters. But danger is in ambush, and after a little the puff of wind grows stronger, the long roll is plumed with a white crest, the tempest sounds its trumpet, and the rin ging, like the strings of an axlian harp, emits a mournful .note like that of a dirge. In another half hour the whole artillery of nature is at work, the moan ing vessel is thrown on her beam ends and creaks and groans as though crying for mercy. In another hour there i3 nothing visible except some struggling sailor clinging to a spar. However, death has many ways of achieving its purpose. Not on the sea alone, but on the land, it does its daily stint, and it behooves us to remember that sooner or later it will have some thing to say to us. "All men may die, bat I shall live," is the dream of heed lessness. "All men must die, and therefore I," is the fact that is to be recognized and prepared for. But we can become indifferent even to this "last enemy." It is not the indifference of desperate despair, but tho cheerful indifference of perfect faith. If we have no place to go to, it is hard to contemplate our exit. But if there is better place, a residence in which will be added happsiness, we may even shake hands with Death, tell him that our latchstring is always out and he will be welcome whenever he sees fit to come. It is the fear of taking a leap in the dark that bids us pause. But if we are sure of taking a leap into the light we can easily let go our hold on this rugged life and drop into the life to come. The sea may rage as it pleases if our next port of itry is heaven, and lurking accidents diseases may come out of their hid ing places into the open, for at the worst they can only do us a good turn by open ing the door of a larger and better house to live in.—New York Herald. /«,&$• V.

James Wliitcorob Riley, the poet, de scribes himself as a train mister. A friend thus relate* how the jxxt con fesses his weakness: I found him occupying an easy chair in a parlor car that was attached to a train leaving Chicago ut 10:30 a. in. for Indianapolis. After the greetings, in that quaintly humorous strain that has made the man ami his writing so pop ular, he described the trial he meets with as a travel ar: "I have been in the depot three hours waiting for this train to start for In dianapolis.** "Why did yon come here three hours before traintime?—10:30 is its leaving time." "Well, you know I am a train misser. I can't make a train. It doesn't make any difference what precautions I take, I miss it or take the wrong train. I got my ticket yesterday—bought it over the 'Mo non route' because I knew it went right through without change. If I ever have to change cars, I'm lost. I am sure to miss the connection or take the wrong train. I had a messenger boy go with me to the ticket office. Never could have found it myself. When I got to the hotel after tho entertainment last night, I asked the clerk what time the 'Monon' train left foT Indianapolis. 'Monon—Monon,' said he: 'hasn't that road got another name? 'It probably has. It would be just like these railroads to change the name immediately after I bought nay ticket.' Then he looked at one of those brain splitting time cards and said: 'Yes! yes! Monon route—that'sthe L., N. A. and A. C. railway, and it leaves at 8 a. m.' "I left a call for 6:30, BO I could have my breakfast and be at the depot at 7:30. I always go to the depot 30 minutes be fore the train leaves, and then I miss it oftener than I catch it. When I pre sented my ticket to the gatekeeper, he said: 'Your train leaves at 10:30.' That was so, and here I have been since 7:30.

A Courageous Corporal. When Lord Rawdon was in South Carolina, he had to send an express of great importance through a part of the country filled with continental troops. A corporal of the Seventeenth dra goons, known for his courage and intel ligence, was selected to escort it. They had not proceeded far when they were fired upon, the express was killed and the corporal wounded in tho side. Careless of his wound, he thought only of his duty. He snatched the dispatch from the dying man and rode on till, from the loss of blood, he fell. Then fearing the dispatch would be taken by his enemy, he thrust it into his wound until the wound closed upon it and con cealed it. He was found next day by a British patrol, with a smile of honorable pride upon his countenance, and with life just sufficient to point to the fatal depository of bis secret. In searching the body the cause of his death was found, for the surgeon de clared that the wound in itself was not mortal, but was rendered so by the irri tation of the paper. Thus fell this patriot soldier—in rank a corporal, he was in mind a hero. His name was O'Lavery, and he came from the parish of Moira, in County Down, Ireland.—Youth's Companion. Appearances Hay Deceive. Should you happen to see a girl walk ing along the street with her face wreathed in placid smiles, don't take it for granted that she feels perfectly con tented and liappy. For the truth is that— She may be having a nerve destroying argument with herself as to whether her skirt and waist meet properly in the back. She may have a tiny hole in her shoe and be perfectly wretched over the thought of getting her silk stocking soiled. She may be on the verge of insanity because she knows that the one pin with which she fastened her skirt is going to give way. She may be conscious of a big chunk of soot that has found lodgment on the end of her nose. She may remember that there is but one hairpin in her hair, and that it would be just her luck if it were all to tumble down. She may hear a little snap and may know that her garter has broken. That, however, is simply too horrible for words. —New York Advertiser. Too Much Government. v Patron—That bread you sold me WM stale.

In England, where goodroAd* amuQot an iridescent dream, cycling parties of blind persons are sometimes seen. It is not to tj® inferred that the blind lead the blind, for the steersman of each eon I naoted group is fully competent to avoid ColleoUag Canceled What is apparently more nselest than canceled postage ctamps? And yet there Is a store on Michigan avenue win re they seem to be in demand. One of the windows is entirely heaped up with present day United States stamps, most' ly of the 2 cent denomination. There must be thousands of them, and the ob server can only wonder what in the world can be their value. They cannot possess any particular interest to the stamp collector, for they are neither rare nor valuable. To the ordinary per son the canceled 2 cent postage stamp seems a worthless thing indeed. Prices paid for such stamps, however, are 10 cents per 1,000, $1 per 10,000, and $12 per 100,000. Marty an industrious lad will probably be moved by this offer the appearance of the window ind'-ed testifies), and yet the immense labor of collecting 100,000 stamps can be Appre ciated. Yet during the Centennial stamps were bought in tho same manner, and those who purchased them are today reaping a handsome profit, for the Cen tennial postage stamp has increased won derfully in value in a canceled condi tion during the last few years. As time goes on stamps increase greatly in value, especially stamps issued for one year only on a special occasion like the Cen tennial or fair. To show how valuable a stamp may become, the writer of this may mention the fact that eight yeaw ago he purchased a first issue English envelope stamp in London for $7.50, and it was at that time worth a great deal more in this country. Now it has prob ably increased still more.—Detroit Free Press. A New Tbeery of Sleep. Some discussion lias been going on concerning Herr Rosenbaum's recently proposed theory of sleep—namely, that the anaemic condition of the brain is due to an excess of water in the brain cells of that body. The supposition, as stated, is that sleep is essentially a matter of nervous action, and the direct cause is thought to be fatigue of the nerve cells which communicate with the heart and bring about some change in the circula tion. The nerve cells are thus supposed to be full of water when sleep comes on. and this water during sleep passes into the venous blQod as waste, and the nerve cells then receive nourishment from fresh arterial blood. Then when the proc ess is entirely over the sleejH awakes. According to this theory, sleep is not solely healthy because it rests the body and brain, but also because it invigor ates them. It is also to be inferred from Rosenbaum's theory that the nerve cells and brains of infants who Bleep so much must contain more water than ia to be found in those of adults, and that the effectiveness of brain cells ia in in verse ratio to the water contents.—New York Tribune. A Birmiagham Ornate, A Birmingham (England) oracle as sures us that it has followed almost with out exception in the past 80 years that o. cold spring has been followed by a cold, wet summer, as in 1861,1877 and 1B79, and that a hot spring has been followed by a hot, dry summer, as in 1865, 1808, 1870 and 1872. From this he deduces the probability that this summer will be one of the hottest and driest and thirsti est on record. *1 A Drew Salt mt s Swell Breakfast.- At the mayor's reception to tne in fanta there was only one break, and strangely enough it was i.'&ile ly Presi dent Hi^inbotham of the V. orldV Colum bian exposition.
