Nature Can Cure Most Diseases. A gren, broad, consoling and fund imiental fact remains that in a large mxjority of diseases which attack ha monlty. under ninety per oent of the unfavorable Influences which affect us, nature will affect a oure if not too much interfered with. As the old proverb has it, "A man at forty is either a fool or a physician" and Nature Is a good deal over forty and has never been accused of lacking in. telllgsDce. Navigating the Air. Results in. tbe use xf air ahipe shows that flying is leaa dangerous than automobile raolng. In 1800 flights recorded at Raima there -was not a single, fatality. The develop ment of air navigation la In lta in fancy but from tbe rapid progress there seems no donbt bnt that II will soon reach a practical stag. . Al ready flights have been mad whioh show great speed and excellent con trol of tha maohinea. Even now It Is demonstrated that air ships anight be formidable foes in warafare. They oould carry small bombs of high explosive power which - could be dropped on vessels or on towns and do vast dammage, while being themselves practically immune from danger. Only by ohanoe could a shot reach a vital part, and with lbs rapid development they 'cnay eoon fly so high that the chences of hit ting-them would be abont tbe same as that of killing a night hawk with bullet. The Quay Statue. ' The Quay statue has been shipped by the artist Karl Bitter to Bsrria burg, marked to Governor Stuart, who baa not yat aqnounoed that he will assume the responsibility of taking it out of tha freight house It appear peoullar that man as prominent in Pennsylvania politics as was Quay Is now ao little raver, enoed that no one of bis aforetime political associates, nor the men he set up in business are willing to incur tba weight of public opinion by placing his atatne In publio build ing. Hie familv, seeing tha situa tion, would it seems to us relieve tbe embarrassment and escape hav ing Quays name and deeds bandied about as they are if they would quietly take charge of the Statue snd dispose of it. If it is finally placed in the new Capitol it will be jeered for general! ma and will serve refresh in the minds of many tba political sins attributed to tha original. Unless there is a spontan eoua and general respect for the oareer of a public man it ia not kind to attempt to force bis memory on the publio who form and eqpreas opinions of bis merits. If be is i t oherished In the hearts of the people, oj marble effigy will tend to in crease respect for his life and char acted. J A Lack Of Confidence A minister, frequently away from home, was in the habit of getting some one to stay with bis wife and small daughter in bis absence. Once however, he want so anexpecedtly hurriedly that ba had no time to make such provision for them Tbs wife was very brave until night came when her courage began to fail. After, exhausting every reasonable excuse for staying up, she put the child to bd with the Injunction to pray especially lor God's protection during father's absence.

An Ideal night in early fall, A nUht that one might well recall. Tha moo n with its resplendent beams. Ne'nr brighter shone o'er hills and strean On this grnnd night, 'tis sad to tell, The comeliest pair in all the dell Had quarreled and though the hour wa Both sullen stood beside the gate. At last "Forgive me" Harry said ; Msud turned sside her haughty head And with a firm decided "No," And a sharp "Good night" made haste to go "Come back dear Maud recall that word," But Maud was gone, she had not heard. Harry eilenoed, said no more But watched her till she reached the door. O pride I Twas 8Htan's primal sin ; Why do mortals let It to- . . 1...-. Their souls to feed with poisoned fond And bring destruction to all good? Well pride o'erruled, Maud gave it Bway, It stronger grew with hnr each day.' I'll not retract my word," said she, "No matter what Ibe cost msy be." A month had passed ; Maud had not heard In all that time a single word From Harry. Did she really care? Her cheeks grew somewhat pule and there Was a sad look in her bright faca And it was rumored In tb.9 place, Harry had listed, was called away For a three years term to stay. A war was on ; the fields were red With the blood the martvrs shnd One night the moon shone juRt as bright As it did on tliit September night, Two years before. The soldiers lay With upturned faces, ashy gray, And glassy sightless eyes that stared. And bosoms cold, and stiff, and bared. A nurse was seeking 'mong tbe slain For one she'd loved ; deep lines of pain Were marked around her month. She orept Among tbe bodies. She prayed, she wept "Oh God" cried she "Could I recall That oruel word I would give all On earth oh me t Remorse is late ! O Harry, Harry is this called fate?'" What was it made her shriek aloud? A ghastly form, a bloody sbroud. "Tis Harry I" that was all she said, - And fell prnetnte upon the dead. She, too, on the same battle field Gave up her life, and thus, death healed The breach. Pride's story's told. Ot a maiden true and a soldier bold. Ceciija A. Cuixew. New Supervisor Law.
