SWEET SABBATH BELLS..,
A Few Gems of Pertinent Poetry .--Some
Sabbath Thoughts. Tomorrow's
JExerciaes. . .
Ood never would send you the darkness
If he thought you could bear the light.
But you would not cling to His guiding hand
If the way was always bright;
And you would not care to walk by faith
Could you always walk bysight.
Bo he sends you the blinding darkness
And the furnace of seven-fold heat,
'Tis the only way, believe me
To keep you close to his feet;
For 'tis always to easy to wander
When our lives are glad and sweet.
'Tis true he has many an anguish
For your sorrowful heart to bear,
And many a cruel thorn crown
For your tired head to wear ;
But He knows how few would keep close to Him;
If pain did not guide them there.
Then nestle your hand in your Father's
And sing if you can as you go,
Your song may cneer someone behind you
Whose courage is sinking low;
And well, if your lip do quiver
God will love you better so.
Control Your Temper.
Ill temper is a symptom revealing an
unloving nature at the bottom ; it is the
intermittent fever which bespeaks inter
mittent disease within. Temper cannot
be changed but by a change of heart.
Souls are sweetened, not by taking the
acid fluids out, but by putting love in.
It is better not to live than not to love.
Rain and Sunshine.
A'Christian may enjoy a calm and
inward peace, while he sustains the
storms of outward trouble. If he enjoys
the former he may expect the latter ; if
he suffers the latter he may expect the
former. There is no spring without its
fall ; no summer without its winter.
Seeker.
Thorough Regeneration.
Scriptural repentance is that, deep and
radical change, whereby a sinner turns
from the idols of sin and self unto God,
and devotes every movement of the
inner and outer man to the captivity of
his obedience.
Aood Account of a Former Pastor.
Nearly every one in The Dalles will
recollect Rev. W. G. Simpson formerly
pastor of the M. E. Church at this place,

ted in Elizabeth, New Yersey. This
morning Mrs. Isaac Joles, and a number
of other friends received a card, from Mr.
Simpson announcing the birth of a boy
at the parsonage in New Jersey. Their
many friends here tender their con
gratulations. ,
At the Congregational Church.
The morning service tomorrow will be
conducted by the pastor Rev. W. C.
Curtis. His subject will be : "Two men
one refusing the conditions of blessing,
the other supplying them." ,
Sunday school immediately after the
morning service.
Young Peoples " Society of Christian
Endeavor will meet in the vestry at 6

Property," and hereby extends to all a

RAZORS AS BAROMETERS.
Some Observations by a Bright Dalles
Barber.
It is singular but nevertheless true
that a razor is a very good weather
barometer. A reporter of the Chbo.niclb
dropped into one of The Dalles palatial
shops yesterday and a bright barber
remarked that he could tell by the action
of his razor on the first morningcustomer
about what the weather would be. Dur
ing certain climatic changes it seems im
possible to get a razor to do good work
and the victim always complains that
the instrument of torture "pulls," even
if his hide is as thick as a newspaper
man's should be. Before the par
ticular knjght of the razor goes to work
in the morning as he comes down to the
shop he glances up at the weather signal
staff and if the blue flag is flying then
he knows he will have an extra hard
day's work, no matter how carefully he
may hone his tools, but if the white flag
is up then he knows his customers will
smile and be good natured all the day
through. Another thing about razors is
that they will get "cranky" and will not
work at times and nothing but a complete
rest and laying them away for a while
will do them any good. Surely there are
more tilings in heaven and earth than
our philosophy tells us.
Real Estate Transaetions.

MAJOR SCOTT'S LECTURE.
The Most Successful of His Course Thus
Far. " "
. A speaker never had a more .appre
ciative audience than the one that
assembled in the Congregational church
last night to hear Major Scott. Whether
in pathos, or wit, or the more serious
line of argument, from the first to the
last word of the lecture the audience
was held as in a vise. People may not
agree with Mr. Scott but he has the gift
of holding and interesting an opponent
to a remarkable degree. He acts as if he
had somothing to say and he says it.
But he is not personal or offensive,
neither does he make rash statements,
he backs up assertions with evidence ;
a fact is nothing until proven. His cita
tions of proof are apparently indisput
able. Major Scott said: We believe the
drink traffic a wrong to the individual,
a curse to society, and a sin against God.
We are not alone iu this opinion. The
conferences, synods, associations, general
assemblies, and even the plenary council
of the Catholic Church, are unanimous
in a similar belief, as their deliverances
testify. He incidentally alluded to
Cardinal Manning of England who were
in the button hole of his coat, a little
knot of blue ribbon as a badge of his
total abstinance principles.
Mr. Scott then dealt with statistics,
and showed that there is annually ex
pended in this conntry the sum of $944,
000,000 for alcoholic beverages. He
gave the number of saloons by the
amount of revenue received by the gov
ernment as the saloons have to pay
each a tax of $25. If the amount spent
on each bar averages $15 per day then
the aggregate equals the sum named.
He said : "A dollar spent for drink a dollar
means $1.00 less for the necessaries of
life. Three-fifths of the money thus
spent is by those who can least afford it,
the wage-workers and the bread
winners. Stand in front of a saloon one
day and see who frequent the bar-room
and then tell me if this is not the truth.
Prosperous and successful men, as a
rule, are not the patrons of the saloon."
He then took up in a masterly man
ner the oft-mooted question of sumptu
ary law and vested rights. The applause
he received showed how the audience
appreciated and agreed with him. Mr.
Scott referring to high license said:
"If you ask me how high to place the
license fee I reply 'Whatever your boy's
soul is worth.' The prohibition of the
drink traffic will divert capital to pro
ductive employments. No license means
to your city increased protection because
it means increased sobriety."
Tomorrow night Major Scott delivers
his famous" address ' 'Our Country and
Its Homes," at the' Congregational
church. It will be a union meeting.
Mrs. Scott will also have something to
sav.

W. DEATH COMES . PAINLESSLY..,.
A Scientific Opinion That Will Be Con
soling to All Humanity. -
?- The sign of . impending death are
many and variable. No two instances
are precisely identical, . yet several signs
are. common to many cases. Shake
speare, ; who observed everything else,
observed and recorded some of the pre
monitory signs of death, also. In the ac
count of the death of Falstaff the sharp
ness.of the nose, the coldness of the feet,
gradually extending upward, the pick
ing at the bedclothes, are accurately de
scribed. For some time before death indica
tions of its approach become apparent.
Speech grows thick and . labored, the
hands, if raised, fall instantly, the res
piration is difficult, the heart loses its
power to propel the blood to the extrem
ities, which consequently become cold;
a clammy moisture oozes through the
pores of the skin, the voice grows weak
and husky or piping, the eyes begin to
lose their luster.
In death at old age there is a gradual
dulling of all the bodily senses and of
many of the mental faculties; memory
fails, judgment wavers, imagination
goes out like a candle. The muscles
and tendons get stiff, the voice breaks,
the cords of the tabernacle are loosen
ing. Small noises irritate, sight becomes
dim, nutrition goes on feebly, digestion
is impaired, the secretions are insuffi
cient or vitiated or cease, capillary cir
culation is clogged. Finally the central
organ of the circulation comes to a stop,
a full stop, and this stoppage means a
dissolution. This is the death of old
age, which few attain to.
Many people have an idea that death
is necessarily painful, even agonizing;
but there is no reason whatever, to sup
pose that death is more painful than
birth. It is because in a certain propor
tion of cases dissolution is accompanied
by a visible spasm and distortion of the
countenance that the idea exists, but it
is nearly as certain as anything can be
that these distortions of the facial mus
cles are not only painless, but take place
unconsaionsly,. In many instances, too,
a comatose or semi-comatose state super
venes, and it is altogether probable that
more or less complete unconsciousness
then prevails.
We have, too, abundant evidence of
people who have been nearly drowned
and resuscitated, and they all agree in
the statement that after a few moments
of painful struggling, fear and anxiety
pass away, and a state of tranquillity
succeeds. They Bee the visions of green
fields, and in some cases hear pleasing
music, and, so far from being misera
ble, their sensations are delightful. But
where attempts at resuscitation are suc
cessful the resuscitated persons almost
invariably protest against being brought
back to life, and declare that resuscita-,
tion is accompanied by physical pain
and acute mental misery.
Death is a fact which every man must
personally experience, and consequently
is of universal interest; and as facts are
facts, the wiser course is to look them
squarely in the face, for necessity is coal
black and death keeps no calendar.
Medical Journal. ,
She Caught the Car.
She was a very masculine looking
young woman, and if she had not worn
a Psyche knot and skirts she might have
passed for a slim waisted youth, for she
wore a man's -collar, a man's coat, a
man's four-in-hand ti$, and displayed on
her bust a longitudinal section of a man's
plaited shirt. She was waiting for a
car in the storm the other evening. She
had not an umbrella, and was in the
shelter of a doorway. A car dashed by,
and she whistled for it to stop. The
driver paid no attention to her signal,
and she gathered up her skirts, made a
dash out into the street, ran sharply for
a moment, caught up with the rapidly
running car, caught the hand rail, and
Bwung on as nimbly as a college athlete.
"What do you mean, sir," she exclaimed
to the conductor, "by not stopping when
I signaled?" The conductor tried to ex
plain, but she would not listen, and sat
down and looked indignant for ten min
utes. It takes a mannish looking young
woman to chase a car through the rain
and get aboard without stopping the
car. Boston Advertiser. '
Ananias and His Deaf Father.
Danl was the biggest liar in town and
Danl always appealed to his father to
verify his fearful yarns. Dan'L's father
was old, a little deaf, and belonged to
the Methodist church. It was not to be
supposed that the old gentleman would
indorse lies, and thus the neighbors con
cluded. But here is how Dan'l . got
around his poor old dad. "Went down
ter f brook yesterday," Dan'l would re
late. "Caught tew hundred and four
pickril, say, didn't I, dad?" And the old
man, benignantly listening, would hear
"four" and meekly reply, "Yes, Dan'l."
- Then the able liar would edge around
"back to" his father, and with the edge
of his hand measure off the length of his
arm before the eyes of his astonished
gaest. "Cciught one pick'ril, a whop
per, longe'n that, say, warn't he, dad?"
The old man would -gaze upon the six
inches of scrawny wrist and forearm as
wily Danl whirled and measured for his
benefit, and humbly but firmly assert,
" Yis, my son; sh'd say as how be was
summat longer." Lewiston Journal.
The World's Paper Mills.
The production of paper in the entire
