Lobar pneumonia, the kind in which there is a ‘“crisis,” seldom or never interferes seriously with the patient’s alr supply, but rather damages the | heart and central nervous system by the toxin of the germ—in the course of the FEATURES.

Only once before had he come in conscious contact with his mother. It was in the hopeless days of his boy- hood in the St. Asaph Union work- | house at_Denbigh. | He had not known his story. If he | had known it, he could not have com- | prehended it, nor why Elizabeth Parry | should_have treated him so. | He had been born out of wedlock. | That was the secret. His wild father, | son_of a farmer, had been killed in | a public_house & few months after his birth, His mother had put him in the keeping of her father, Moses Parry, | to be raised. When Moses died, the boy's uncles had boarded him oul a while. Then they had put him in the almshouse. | It was years later that Elizabeth | came to St. Asaph. She stayed several | months, for she was herself a charge | and she had another boy and a little girl whom she wished to leave there. In the hall, James Francis, the schol | master, pointed out to John Rowlands | & tall woman with an oval face and | & mass of dark hair. “Do you recognize her?” he asked. “No, ‘sir,” said the boy. “What, not know your mother?” | sneered Francis.

The cruel beatings given him by Francis caused him to run away from St. Asaph when he was 16. A year later he was in America, at New Or- leans, working faithfully for a mer- chant, H. M. Stanley. The latter adopt- ed him and gave him his name. When_the_Civil War came on he fought for the South. Captured by Northern troops, he adopted their cause. His next metamorphosis was from sol- dier to journalist. His brilllant work led James Gordon Bennett to send him to Africa to find the lost Livingstone.

Text: *To provoke unto love and to good works.”—Heb. x.24. It is one mark of a good man that he makes you wish to be at your best while you are with him. Do we not all know what it is to come into con- tact with characters who have just that influence over us? ‘There are many such noble characters. We find them everywhere, pure and high-purposed men and women whose Very presence provokes us “unto love and to good works."” What a blessing these people are. Wherever they go their presence re-| bukes the ugly thought, shames il be- | havior, smites the guilty conscience, | abashes all that is low and vulgar. When we come into their presence they | make us long to be pure in heart, | strong in purpose and clean in deed. | They radiate an influence which is like | a benediction from heaven and which provekes in us the desire to attain a higher level of life. | ‘To come into contact with these pure | and noble souls is a high privilege, and | one that we should avail ourselves of | as often as the opportunity is presented. It would make a great difference in our lives if we could be more in the pres- ence of such people. If we would make it & point to seek their company and companionship it would save us from | that feeling of indifference which often tempts us to let our lives go carelessly along on the lower levels. But what about ourselves? As we come in contact with people, do we tempt them to higher things? Not forgetting our own responsibility in this maiter, let us strive to make our pres- ence a stimulus to purity of heart and nobleness of demeanor.

It's a sort of secular Sabbath, a mo- ment of tranquil rest snatched from the rush and noise of traffit. It's about all there is left of the quietude which used to go along with life, when horses set the pace and women moved along slowly in dresses. You take a heart-holiday when you lift yourself out of all the pettiness of everyday life and draw a breath of air which comes to you from the ever- lasting hills where gods and goddesses used to dwell. You take it as night when you get your eyes off the electric lights and glve the old stars another once over. You feel it when you take your mind off particular individuals, and think only of mankind and its doings here on this old planet. In the heart-holiday, you see that the world is beautiful and mankind good, just as Browning's Pippa did when she passed along on her one day of joy out of the whole bunch of busy ones. ‘There are so many forces working on | the heart these days that the inward vacation is unusually necessary. and have the go-getting spirit. these things keep the old heart so busy that it can’t devote any time to its own affairs. It's like foot ball except that in that merry pastime they are always saying, “time out.” And that's what we ought to say in the game we are playing. ‘Time out for thought, leisure or love, moments for meditation, hours for hap- piness, and enough time to let the heart beat for its own amusement the way & musician plays when he isn't working with the orchestra. ‘The human heart is in the breast to serve the rest of the body so that we can love and work, but it ought to have a little time out so that it can play in its own backyard.

June 6, 1857.—Fishermen in the Poto- mac in the vicinity of Washington have given up gilling and have taken to haul- ing sturgeon. At the Virginia end of the Long Bridge within the last 24 hours five sturgeon have been caught. They found ready sale in the city at high prices. Under the supervision of Messrs. Emery and Towles, of the Board of Aldermen and Common Council, the improvements in the Center Market are being carried into rapid exeeution. They include the erection of ruitable stands for the country peoplc in the rear of the present market house from Seventh to Ninth streets and from the present building to Canal street. This will have the effect, when com- pleted, of clearing away entirely the hucksters and market wagons which throng the south side of Pennsylvania avenue from Seventh street as far as the corner of Tenth street. Now they so clutter up this space on makret days that it cannot be used for the traffic for which it is intended. The second section of the new act, approved December 10 last, shows the duty of the market officials in this matter. It reads as follows: “That when the new market house shall be built, shantles and stalls now erected on Pennsylvania avenue and along the line of Ninth street shall be removed; and it shall not be lawful to erect any such building on Market space or in Pennsylvania avenue, and it shall be the duty of the market master to enforce this regulation. It is expected that the market im- provements will be completed by July 1. ‘The hands employed at the navy ard on the foundation of the new shell ilding, which is being constructed under the supervision of Lieut.

The policy provided that if the insured should die within the first year “either directly or indirectly from tuberculosis, pulmonary disease or chronic bronchitis, or cancer, or disease of the heart, liver or kidneys, or pell- agra,” the company’s liability should be limited to one quarter of the sum spec- ifled as a death benefit. The insured actually died of broncho-pneumonia. ‘The company offered the beneficiary one quarter of the sum and the bene- ficiary rejected the offer and sued for the full amount.

Pneumonia is a temporary inflammation of the lungs. The high court and the trial court seemed to base the decision on that fact. The phrase “pulmonary disease” in the insurance policy was taken to mean chronic disease, such as might be present when the applicant applies for insurance. Broncho-pneumonia has other names, or has at one time or another.

BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Listen In. “Hello, Mary,” we heard a friend's voice exclaim. “This is Helen. I've de- cided to go to Europe this Summer, and youre going to help me do fit, too, though you don't know it yet.” “Well, Helen,” we replied, “I'm a bit taken back by the news, but I'll be only 00 glad to help.” “It's this way, Mary: You know all about investments and the stock mar- ket. Surely, you can give me one tip on which I can make about 20 or 30 points. I'm not asking for the impossi- | ble, of course, though a few extra points would help me shop in Paris!” After we had regained our composure, we inquired: think I have clairvoyant powers? First of all, I'd never advise you to speculate at all, and, secondly, 20 to 30 points is & good profit on a four or five year in- vestment.” “Why, Helen,” we continued, “you must believe some of the things you are hearing nowadays. Of course, there are fabulous gains, but there are also tragic losses, and the latter far outnumber the former. The sort of market tip you request is usually the product of a hunch, a desire or false information " “But, Mary, I thought it would be easy for some one like you to pick one stock, out of all those I see listed, that will rise in price soon. Surely, some one must know!" “Helen, easy profits lead to easy losses.
