Text; ' ITe mal'th a path to shine of la
him." Job xli., 32.
If for the npxt thousand years ministers of
rHiirion should preach from this Bible, thero
will yet be texts iinexpoiiniol and un-x-I)
lain p. i no'l unappreciated. What lit r ie

from wliit-h my text is taken bears on the
controversy as to what w.is really the levia

creature it w.'is I know not. Sornsy it was
a whale. Some say it was a crocodile. My
own op:nion is it was a sea monster now ex

ranean or Atlantic waters corresponds to
Job's de-ription.
Wli.at reost interests rr. is that as it moved
on through the deep it left the waters flash

text. "J"" maketlt a path, to shine after
hirn." What was that illumined path? It
was phosphorescence. You find it in the
wake of a ship in the nls;ht, especially after

I am to fascinate 1 with the phosphor

s 'en nothing on the lace oi' the deep but

that looked like gaping jaws of hell. Not a

the ocean of this life toward the va-der ocean
of the great future.

A careful microscopical
lamination and chemical
analysis of the urine, is a
valuable aid in determining
the nature of many chronic
diseases, particularly those
of tha nervous system,
blood, liver, kidneys, and
bladder. These aids make
it possible to treat such dis
eases successfully at a dis
tance, without personal ex
amination of tbe patient.
Thus Bright' Disease of the
Kidneys, Inflammation of
the Bladder, Gravel, and
other Diseases of the Uri

other Chronic Maladies are

A Itouted Hawk.
A white-feathered chicken in
s 'arch of worms strayed from the
yard of a Feeding Iliils farmer on a
recent afternoon and was soon
scratching merrily in the black loam
of a swamp near by, says tho Spring
Held (Mass.) lleptibilcan. A big hen
hawk that was sailing lazily along far
up in the sky tipp.-d an eye down
ward and saw the little white chick.
The hawk had had nodinneraud was
very hungry. TV l 'i, hungry haw
suddenly shot duwu iikca Hone, at.d

she was in the hawk's cruel claws.
The farmer was cutting cornstalks in
a wagon near the barn and did not

But perched upon some trees tin
other side of the swamp were eight
b'.ai'k crows. They had seen it alt.
Tutting their heads together tlifss
crows consulted hurriedly, and then
with a loud, defiant chorus of "caw,
caw, caw," they took wing. The bird
tit prey had not risen tifty feet in tha
air before the crows had completely
urrounded him. They pocaed at
him above, below. In front, and be

above and shoot downward one after
the other at the hawk with the swift

gin the crows, crying "caw, caw,"
more defiantly than be fore, beat upon

CARRiES A CURIOUS CANC
A Cincinnati Man's Walking Stick Orn
meated by Some Grewsome Mementoes.
The other afternoon an old man
attracted a goid deal of attention on

the peculiar cane which he carried.
Personally he was In no way dlrTerent

was of ordinary quality, but it was
all there. His breath was ta ntrd
with Hie water. As he was p issing

and without knot or crook. Wound
around and around it was a string '
ornaments of the strangest kind. 1 i ere

pants buttons, others were coat and,
vest buttons and there were dress or
r.loak buttons. Pome were sm ul,
while others were large as silver do.-
lars. A lead pencil stump dangie i
about the middle of the cane. A
carpet tack hung from the point. A
A piece of cor, a broken marble, a
shoe peg, keys of various kinds ai:d
other articles too numerous to men
tion were strung about the cane. -On
lieing asked by a Times-Star man
how he happened to get so peculiar a
stick, he became tommunicattv.
Every trifle around this stick," said
he, "is a momenta This piece of
toy marble Lelonged to my boy when
he was still alive. Here is a button

And here's another from my wife's

the various articles as he spoke.

A Suggestion.
The American habit of calling
Tom, Dick, and Harry "Judge,"
"Colonel," or '-Major" has fre ;uetitiy
been critic! cl. tcul 11 is a hii:!i
time for a reform in this dlrectiu.i.
suggests Texas Siftings. How would
It do to give men titles derived from
their trade or profession? For in
stance, the Tope of Rome is called
'Your llollns-ss." Here we have a
starting point. A landlord might, be
addressed as"VourSuavity,"or "Your
Obse iUiousness." When you m-et
a doctor yoa could say "Good-m irn
ing, how does 'Your Healthful ness'
feel to-dayV" The title could always
bo varied to suit the rcculiarlt;es of
the Individual. Some clcriymen who
are given to banging the lilble might
be addressed as "Your Extreme Vio
lence," others as "You Urowi-inss "
The same rule might apply to differ
ent trades. It Is Tor the benefit of
title-lovers we throw out this crude
Idea. We do not propose to elaborate
It at all. We simply furnish the or
ner stone. Those who desire can
