The Boyal Bluo Line- WHAT AS KMIJfKNT KAII.RO A DKR THINKS OK IT. Those who have used the Royal Blue Line between Philadelphia and New York, well know that line is deservedly accredited as being the finest piece of railroad in the country! that its coaches are the most mag nificent, and that its trains run more smoothly and are the fastest in the world. To those, however, who have never used the Roval Blue Line, the following abstract from a letter written by an eminent railroad authority to a gentleman connected with the Read ing Railroad System, will doubtless prove interesting. After the usual formal greetings, the letter reads: "I have just taken my first ride on the Reading, having come over from New York this morning on your 1 1.30 A. M. Royal Blue Line train, and I rinnot refrain from congratulating you on being connected with so superb a railroad. We made mile after mile in just 50 seconds, and the train ran as smoothly as though not ex ceeding ten miles per hour. The appointments were first-class, and I never had a better dinner or one better served on any pinner car." Commendation from the source whence this came, must have been particularly gratifying to the Reading It has always been the aim of the present Reading management to provide the very best for its patrons, and the service on the Royal Blue Line, as well as on other portions of the System, is conclusive evidence of success in that direction. That the discriminating public appreciate these efforts, and recognize the fact that the Royal Blue Line trains are as adver tised, the finest fastest safest in the world, is evidenced by the constantly increasing business on that Line. Have You Bead How Mr. W. IX Wentz.of Geneva. N. Y., was cured of the severest form of dyspepsia? lie says ever thing he ate seemed like pouring melted lead into his stomach. Hood's Sarsaparilla effected a perfect cure. Full particulars will be sent if you write C. L. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass. The highest praise has been won by Hood's Tills for their easy, yet efficient action. There arc several instances on record of the complete destruction of whole regiments in one battle. On Septem ber 8, 1812, Napoleon's P'ifty-third regiment perished to a man in storm ing over the Roman position. On January 6, 184J, only 65 out of 14,500 British soldiers emerged alive at a battle fought neir Sagdulluck. In November, 1833, the whole army of 1 licks Pasha, 11,000 strong, was cut to pieces near the fifth cataract of the Kwer Nile. The largest artificial stone in the world forms the base of the Bartholdi statue of Liberty, on Bedloe's Island New York harbor. This immense stone was made from broken trap rock, sand and American cement. Five hundred carloads of sand and over 20,000 barrels of cement were used in manufacturing the monster. I have been a great sufferer from catarrh for over ten years: had it very bad, could hardly breath. Some nights I could not sleep and had to walk the floor. I purchased Ely's Cream Balm and am using it freely, it is working a cure surely. I have advised several friends to use it, and with happy result in every cane. It is the medicine above all other for catarrh, and it is worth its weight in gold. I thank God I have found a remedy I ein use with safety and that does all that is claimed for it. It is curing my deafness. B. W, Sperry, Hartford, Conn.

Morgan Hildrcth, who was elected to tho nr-sr-mlily last year liy the Repub licans of tlio Tvciity-firvt district, has written a letter to John Proctor Clarice, president f the Republican organisa tion or mat itntrtct, in which ho says: "Permit me to teudur to the Repub lican organization throngh you uiy resig nation no a member thereof. Up to the present time I have actively cooperated with Republicans, and in so doing I was actuated by a belief that the platform of the two great parties represented the sincere principles of government which were placed in issue in each succeeding election. "I realize that I have received at the bands of the Republican organisation of the Twenty-first election district the highest honor it had to confer in my nomination and election as a member of assembly from that district, one of the few Republican organisations in the city of New York capable of so honoring one of its constituents. "I have certainly naught to complain of in the treatment I have received at the hands of the leaders of the district For all favors bestowed upon me I am sincerely grateful. I have come to be lieve, however, the fact to be that the professions of the Republican porty are insincere, and that the platforms adopt ed in the pant have been adopted solely with a view of inducing such enthusi astic theorists as myself to swenr alle giance to that party. . "Therefore I now retire from what seems to mo to be a field of hypocrisy to which I was allured by blandishments, mixstatemenU and deception. The only issue that I recognized in the years that I have actively participated in politics aa existing between the two dominant political parties was that of protection. I believed in it on principle. I believe In it today, provided that its attendant advantages can lie made universal and not special." Mr. Hildreth goes on to say that the protective system as npplied to manu facturers and laborers gives the former all advantages through the increased prices they are able to .charge for ar ticles, and that the wages of workmen Rre not correspondingly, increased. He concludes: . "My .allegiance to the1 Republican party in the past has been iudueed by exaction of conscience, and I now retire from that party because of the'fuct that I have learned from experience to know and believe in its absolute insincerity in this one cardinal issue as demonstrat ed in practice." New York Herald. A False Doliultion. The statement that a tariff fof reve nue "confines tho dutiable list to non competitive products" is a false ' defiui tion. The Democratic platform ad' vanees no such theory. Tho Democratic candidate in his celebrated message to congress clearly stated that he favored such an adjustment of the turiff as would conserve the interests of Ameri can manufacturing and American labor, At Madison Square garden be said: "Ours is not a destructive party. We are not at enmity with tho rights of any of our citizens. All are our conn, trymen. We are not recklessly heed. lees of any American interests, nor will we abandon our regard for them." Ex change. Their Tune Him Cbauged. Republican leaders ought to feel a lit tle cheap themselves to be telling their followers that things have never been so cheap as now, when not many months ago their present chief, whom they so stoutly profess to- worship, expressed great contempt for cheap, things, saying that when you see a cheap coat "you generally expect to find a cheap man un der it." . Now the );une appears to run the other way, aud to insist. Utat .the Me- Kinley bill has rather depressed prices made them cheaper instead of making them dearer, as it was planned to do, and as it has undoubtedly done. Port land (Me.)

Chemical experiments show that this flour contains more nutriment thun rice, And that when eaten with beans, corn or sago it forms a very palatable and nourishing diet.

A talent may be perfected in solitude, a character only in the world. Men's morals should be measured by the way they affect other men. As soon as a man acquires fairly good sense it is said that he is an old fogy. : There is only one time when you know exactly what a man is when be is dead. . As riches and honor forsake a roan, wo discover him to be a fool, but nobody could find it out in bis prosperity. , To be free-minded and cheerfully dis posed at hours of meat, sleep and exer cise, is one of the best precepts of long lusting. How blessed might poor mortals be in the straitest circumstances if only their wisdom and fidelity to Heaven and one another were adequately great. . The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, aud we see nothing but sand; tile angels coma to visit us, and we only know theui when they are gone. In a truly godlike man his love is pure and unmixed, aud full of kindness, inso much that he canuot but lore in sincer ity all men and things, and wish well and do good to them and rejoice in their wel fare. . There never yet was any soul which had not sufficient grace if it had suffi cient fidelity to correspond with it to escape eternal death. Keep ever in mind this great truth, for it Is the foundation of the whole doctrine of grace. Atl friendship is founded on some kiud of sympathy, and, however different in tastes or in temper, iu outward circum stances or Inward character, two friends may be, there must be a really hearty agreement in some direction to bind them together. This agreement, too, must exist in certain things which till up a good part of the thought and feeling of each, or the sympathy will be too slight to form a bond of union.
