Providential.
Our Puritan ancestors were strongly
Inclined to refor every occurrence to an
overruling providence. They were nqt
wrong in theory, but the practice of
calling in frequent special mterposl
tions rather confused the idea of be
neficent natural law. The old view is
brought out in a story told of John
Eliot, the apostle to the Indians. He
was as ready to do his white neighbors
a good turn as to labor for the spiritual
welfare of the savages. Indeed, lie
wns thought by some to be too gen
erous.
His salary was often distributed for
the relief of his needy neighbors so
soon after the period at which it was
received that before another pay day
arrived his own family were straitened
for the comforts of life. One day the
parish treasurer, when called upon by
Mr. Eliot for the salary due, put it into
a handkerchief, and tied the ends of
the handkerchief in as many hard knot
as he could, in order to prevent the
pastor's giving away the money before
he got home.
The good man received his handker
chief and took leave of the treasurer.
He immediately went to the house of
a sick and necessitous family. On on
teringhegave them his blessing, and
told them that God had sent them
some relief.
The sufferers, with tears of gratitude,
welcomed their pious benefactor, who,
with moistened eyes, began to untie
the knots in his handkerchief. After
many efforts to get at his money, and
Impatient at the perplexity and delay,
he gave the handkerchief and all the
money to the mother of the iamuy,
sayinir with a trembling necent, "Here,
my dear, tako it; I believe the Lord de
signs it all for you.'--iouth com

the suddenness of death might well
set us all thinking. Our tenure of life

is essential. There has been lota of
sunshine for us all wherein to grow
sweethearted and mellow if we have
not willfully interposed our own
shadows to hinder the process.
And all the storms that have beaten
us, and the gales that have rocked us,
and the very frosts that have nipped
us now and then have been pursuing
that strange alchemic process whereby
Juices are made sweet and fiber soft

been content to grow the way fate
chose to have us grow. Then what

Spoiled Ilia Calculation.
Uncle Joe Holden, the astronomor
of Otisfiold, who has been laboring
diligently for tho past fow years to
establish the idea that the earth
doesn't move, but tho sun passes
around tha earth once in twenty-four
hours, ran against a snag a fow days
ago which bids fair to completely
upset Ids whole theory.
While expatiating upon the folly
of tho commonly accepted notions of
astronomy in a village grocery storo,
"Why. only look at it," said ho, "if
the earth is 8,000 miles in diameter
and moves at the rate of twonty-five
miles per minute, the sling of it
would throw everything off from the
face of tho earth, tho same as the
grindstone throws off water."
"Well, suggested the mage doubt
er, "how about the sun, which is 92,
000,000 miles from the earth, and
what must be tho effect of his veloc

On the day after we tunneled ont
of the Confederate stockade at Salis
bury, N. C, and while each man bad
token his own direction, I came upon
a colored man in the woods skirting
a field. He was digging roots to
make himself a tonic, and I broke
through the brush and came upon
him so suddenly that there was no
tinio to dodge. He was kneeling
down, with a parcel of roots beside
lum, and ho looked at me for a ruin

"When did you all git out of dat

"Yesterday," I replied, seeing that
he had at once disco vered my idea

"An whar yo' all gwine to now?"
"I'm going to try and get to the

Ho begun to grin, then he broke
into a chuckle; then tho chuckle be
camo a laugh and he rolled on the
ground. I thought him demented
and was alxmt to move away, when

"I don't see anything very funny

had been benefited by the uxe of War
ner'a Me Cure, lie cheerfully and enthu

done for lilm.
"I had DoanoMcd Ktronc prejudice

lour years seowlien 1 was fluttering Irom
a severe attack of eoiiKestion of the kid

Warner's Safe Cure. I was surprised at
the almost immediate benefit I derived
from it and I have licen an enthusiastic
friend of tha medicine ever since. I
have recommended it to a ffreat many
friends, not only In this city but in Sac
ramento and in Solano and Napa coun
ties, and always with the best results
following its use."
Dr. M. M. (nbson is the pastor o( tha
United Presbyterian Church. Soma
years ago. while traveling in Europe, he
contracted renal calculus, or stone In tha
kidneys. Ho tried various remedies but
got no permanent relief. Speaking of
the way he finally became cured, tha
Doctor said :
'Having heard of V, arner a Safe Cure
I wrote to the proprietors at Rochester,
New York, and tliev. through profes
sional courtcsv, sent me a half doien
bottles. I took tne medicine according
to the direction! and was speedily re
stored to health. Since then I have had
no return of the trouble from which I
suffered so intensely. 1 have heard many
people tell of tne henelitg derived Irom
the use of this great remedy, Ouly the
other day I was talking to Mr, Seabury,
the druggist, opposite the Baldwin, on
Market street, lie was decrying patent
medicines, when 1 said: 'How almut
Warner s? lie replied: 'That remedy
is not properly claimed as a patent medi
cine. It was originally a physician's
prescription.
Air. j.j. r.vans, me popular sianoner
at 400 California street, said :
'For venrs 1 had been troubled with
rheumatism which seemed to settle in
my shoulders, giving me most intense
pa'in. I tried various remedies and doc
tors' prescriptions, but could get no per
manent relief. A few liottlea of War
ner's Safe Cure perfectly restored me to
health and I iim no longer a sufferer
from rheumatism."
Mr. C. W. Hopkins, with J. Houston
A Co., Market street, in reply to the in
quiry of our reporter, said :
"in lS4 1 was reiiiscu a policy in tne
Mutual Life Iusurance Company of New
York, on account of kidney trouble,
which soon after liecaine so severe that
Iwascomelledtotaketoniy bed. I em
ployed the licet physicians who diag
nosed my trouble as' a case of BrlghtT
Disease and pronounced it Incurable,
ei viiur me but a year to live. My suf
ferings were terrible and reduced me ta
almost a skeleton. After spending over
ftl.'lUO In doctors' tills, without obtaining
either health or encouragement, I was
induced to try orncr's Safe Cure. 1
did so, and was sui prised and rejoiced
to And that it was working a radical
cure which has long since been effected.
As a result of the work of this great rem
edy, I to-day carry a oliey in the above
mentioned Life Insurance Company and
consider myself as healthy a man as can
be found in this particularly healthy
country."
lr. II. M. Fiske, whose office is in
the Doiioluie Building, is one of the old
est and best kiMjwn physicians in the
aity. In the eon me of conversation our
reKrtcr franklv asked the Doctor if in
his practii he bad any experience with
the use of Warner's Snfo Cure. The
physician answered the inquiry with
more candor than most doctors would
display when proprietary medicines ara
mentioned, lie said:
"I have seen the formula published In
the Medical Journals and I should judge
that it had lieen prepared by some able
physician, I experimented with tha
prescription by prescribing mediolne
under similar formulm ami fnond that
they did niivh good. In one or two
cases after that where circumstances
made it difficult for patients to reach ma
for treatment, I advised them to go and
get Warner's Safe Cure. I do not care
to say much alwut the remedy except
that I have found it a very good prep
aration. One case in which I know of
its successful use was that of Brigbt'i
Disease in its earlier stages."
It is needless to say that these over
whelming proofs convinced the financier,
as they should any reasonable person,
that the great preparation of which they
speak has no equal for the serious
troubles it is designed to cure. Its won
derful popularity is due wholly to its
power and it f lands, as it deserves to
stand, above all other modern cures.

Effects of Ballway Whistle.
An eminent Glasgow aural snrseon.
trt. Thomas Burr, baa communicated
to the British Medical association
some valuable data concerning tha In
jurious effects of mil way whistles upon
the hearing. In ntilwny whistles the
arrangement for regulating the press
ure of steuiu piutsing through from the
boiler to the whistlo is not usually suf
ficiently delicate. If the boiler should
be under high pressure the whistle is
very much louder and shriller than
when it Is under low pressure. So that
when a pmniger trnln is leaving a sta
tion for a long run, and having, there
fore, it boiler under high pressure, the
whistle Is uiineeesfinrily loud and shrill,
Just when those qualities are least re
quired. Dr. Barr urges upon the attention of
the association the adoption of lower
pitched whistk, with proper regulators,
to as to lesson the present Jarring of
sensitive ears and nerves. The ques
tion of whether a w histle of lower pitch
than that usually employed would bo
as efficient ns an acoustic signal is said
to have been solved by the Introduc
tion on a Scotch railway of a new form
of whistle very much resembling an or
gan pipe, Tho steam is forced on tho
lower edge of a bras tube closed at tho
upper end, and the sonorous impulses
are taken up by the current of air in
the tule and Immensely re-enforced,
the pitch depending upon the length of
tbe tube a well as upon the force of
the blast. The sound resembles very
much a steamboat whistle, being loud
and much lower in pitch and, there
fore, less painful to the ear than tho
ordinary railway whistle. New York
Commercial Advertiser.
Instead of increasing tha weight of
locomotive to secure better traction,
effort are being made to use the eloc
trio current, as experiment hits demon
strated that the passage of a current
through tho driving wheels Increases
the traction far beyond what additional
weight accomplishes.
MEKVOCS DYSPEPSIA.
Senator James F. l'lerce ol New York
writes:
"For the past two years I have sudered
very much from an aggravated form of
nervous dyspepsia. I have resorted to va
rious remedial agents, deriving but little
benefit. A few months since a friend of
mine suggested tbe trial of Allcock's l'o
sore Plasters, l'o'lxv ing tbe suggestion,
I have been ii-iitK me same with the hamii-
tst ell'ects. To those similarly atllicted let
me suggest the manner of their use. I
fuace one over my stomaon, one over tne
lermtla region ana one on mv back. The
elleot was exoellent, and from tbe day I
commended their use I have been slowly
but surely improving, ami l am quite con
fident that by their continuance, with care
ful regimen, I shall again be restored to my
accustomed health."
A man never knows what he can do until he
tries, aud then he Is often sorry that he found
out.
