There was a time when this animal was very plentiful off the Call- fornia coast. The Russians are largely re- sponsible for their destruction at the time they founded a settlement at Fort Ross, at the mouth of Russian river, in Sonoma county.

The amir, at any rate, and Mr. Gray with him, does not believe the task is impossible of rais- ing the people and their rulers to a higher moral plane. Meanwhile justice conducts herself curiously at times. One of the guard given to Mr. Gray was “a big, very handsome man, but he had a curious fur tive look in his eyes. He used to pull my riding boots off when I got home and put out the candle. I remarked once upon the curious look in his eyes, and was told that all in his particular profession had that look.

No; I did not contribute to it, though I knew of its preparation and the reason for it. My own relations to or ideas of the Bi- ble have always been peculiar, owing to my Quaker training, but I don't know that I can explain just what I mean. The Quakers consider the book as historical, made up of traditions handed down from the ages of the past, but not as inspired by God. Of course, people say these wo- men are impious, presumptuous and all sorts of things for daring to interpret the Bible as they themselves see it. But I think the women have just as good a right to translate and twist the Bible to their antege ag the men have to twist rn It to their advantage, have ‘one always. But now that th men ha ared to do what the men have dore, they are called imptous. the orthodox women were to write -ws and translations also, but when «1 not put in an ap- the opinions of the radical were published. The idea that Mrs. Stanton or any other of the wo- men & d to translate er write a new Bible for women’s use is absurd. Thi simply taker the Pentateuch and such passages as refer to women, and w their ce ntaries upon them. And why have they not as good a right te do this as have a body of men to do the same thing?

ANDREW’S LEGION The Episcopal Brotherhood and Its Organization in Washington. TO TAKE PART IN FRIDAYS MEETING Arranging to Hold Sunday Night Services in a Theater. CHAPTERS IN WASHINGTON For the first timo in the-history of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew of Washington that body, as the recognized organization of laymen of the local Episcopalians, will take part Friday evening at Foundry M.E.Church in a mass meeting with the Christian En- deavorers, Epworth Leaguers and the Brotherhcod of Andrew and Phillip. Rev. Dr. John H. Elliot, rector of the nsion P. E. Church, ts to preside. The brother- hood is very strong here, having twenty- seven chapters, and through several projects row under consideration its workings will become of interest to the public generally. The new executive committee held its first meeting last evening and discussed the two subjects, viz.: That of holding evangelistic services in a theater Sunday evenings and of establishing reading rooms for young men. No definite action was taken last night, however, as it is understood that an effort is to be made to make the presence of hop-elect of the new diocese a fea- ture of the opening occasions. Chicago is the birthplace of the order, the parent brotherhood being organized by the members of a young men's Bible class in St. James’ Church of that city November 30, 1888. Such remarkable results were accom- plished that other parishes formed similar organizations, and in January, 1886, a cen- tral committee from these chapters was formed. The first number of St. Andrew's Cross was issued in October, and ihe paro- chial brotherhoods in correspondence with the central committee were invited to send delegates to a convention, to be held in Chi- cago October 23, IS86. At this convention there were present delegates from twenty chapters of the thirty-six then in existence. R. W. Springer of Grace Church, Chicago, was elected the first president and a consti- tution adopted practicaliy as it now stands. Obligation of Members.

There Were Plenty of Them in the Famous Beecher-Tilton Case. From the New York World. The woman who figured in the most celebrated trial this country has known was alleged to have confessed, to have retracted by confession and to have con- fessed again. Theodore Tilton was a young stenog- rapher in Brooklyn in 1831. He took down Henry Ward Beecher’s sermons in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, for publica- tion. In 1861 Tilton succeeded Beecher as editor-in-chief of the Independent, which was owned by Henry C. Bowen, one of the founders of Plymouth Church. = Mr. Beecher then called Tilton “one of his boys.” Tilton’s domestic HMfe was un- happy. In 1870 Mrs. Tilton left her hus- band's house and sought her mother’s pro- tection. Mr. Beecher was consulted and finally advised a separation, and the rup- ture between Tilton and Beecher was com- plete. Then Tilton obtained possession of his infant child during its mother’s ab- sence, and then the mother returned to him. Tilton became editor-in-chief of the Brooklyn Union, of which Henry C. Bowen was one of the proprietors. To Mr. Bowen came stories prejudicial of Tilton’ character, and he thought of him.

From the Philadelphia Times, Have you ever watched the antics of the ground squirrels in summer? This name the learned people give them in the books is almost as hard as the nuts the frisky little fellows gather up for their winter fcod. Imagine yourself saying every time you see one of these little fellows darting along the fence of the Hmb of a tree, There goes a Tamias striatus of the order sciuridae.”” The last name comes from the Greek skia, a shade, and oura, a tail, which de- | scribes pretty well the way in which a squirrel carries his tall shading his head. But the Indian name, chipmunk, seems to suit him much better. His front teeth are well adapted to the hard work before them in the winter— that is, to get the contents of the nut out in good shape. ‘These two t&eth seem to be movable and to work as if on a pivot. They go around the inside of a walnut or a hickory nut, and serve the purpose of a nut picker as well as a nut cracker. If you examine a walnut that a squirrel hes dropped you will find that both the flat sides have been pierced as if bored through with a gimlet and that every par- ticle of the kernel has been removed from the shell by these flexible little teeth. They come by twos and threes, these comical little providers, from their home in a great old oak just across the road from the end of your lawn, and you may trave their route from one tree to another by the rebounding of the branches when relieved of the light weight as the squirrels jump and frolic along. If you do not put your walnuts and hickory nuts carefully away in the fall these little thieves will find them out and socn reduce your store. They carry them off while drying in the sun, and even be- fore they are hulled. ‘A young girl in southern Maryland had the power of taming these little fellows with a few crumbs of bread or grains of corn and wheat. She could draw them sround her and catch any two or three of them that she fancied, carry them in her pockets or her apron for half a day, and when set free they would scamper off as wild as ever. Visitors in the park at Richmond re- member the tame squirrels that, if treated to a few peanuts or cake crumbs, will fol- low you for hours around the grounds and seem to know you if you go back again in the course of a day or tw They are the gray and black squirrels, with thicker tails than the chipmunks, but are just as know- ing and as cunning as those that wear striped coats and smaller brushes. —__—_-+e-+—_____ Dr. William Compton, one of the oldest practicing physicians in Lancaster, Pa., has died, aged seventy years. GREAT PHYSICAL STRENGTH is not n to the enjoyment of per- fect health, yet strong, healthy organs and faculties give rise to the most de- lightful sensations of existence. Exercise, common sense and ordinary precaution and you need never be ve: sick. When you find your stomach troublesome, your bowels inactive, your nerves sensitive—look out! When your weight is decreasing, when your energy is waning, when exertion seems impossi- ble and sleep does not give rest—look out! Serious illness has its beginning in neglected little things. Even dread con- sumption comes on by degrees, and may begin with a very slight derangement. Taken in time, 98 per cent, of all cases of consumption can be cured. Taken in time, no disease need be really serious. The best safeguard against disease is an active, healthy liver. That means good blood and blood means good solid healthy flesh. The germs of disease seek out the weak spots in the body. Don’t have any weak spots. If you have them now, clear them out, tone them up, make them strong. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will do it. It searches out all poisonous: matter and disease-germs of whatever character. It regulates the action of the organs of the whole body. It forces out impure matter, makes the blood rich and puts new life into every fiber. It makes firm, healthy flesh—doesn’t make fat. It gives you flesh that you can work with—the flesh that means health, but a reasonable plumpness is essential to the best bodily condition. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is pleasant to take and you don't have to take an ocean of it to yet well either. The Doctor’s Advice.
