all-around speculator, perhaps, he
thought it was a legitimate business.
One of the most successful undertak-
ings of this kind was a big deal in
French gloves, which he or his con-
federates arranged very cleverly. The
gloves were packed in two distinct de-
scriptions of bales, one containing only
right-hand gloves, the other only left
hands, and the baies were shipped by
different vessels, lest the preventive
men should discover them. As it
turned out one lot of the bales was

ment that the gloves—hundreds of
dozens—were all for one hand. Nat-
urally the whole parcel was knocked
down for nothing to the wily smug-
glers.
Hi, Record Saved Him from Punishment
H. B. Ford was a member of com-
pany B, Idaho volunteers, which re-
cently got home from the Philippines,
with a splendid record of hard fighting
to their credit. Ford went to Spokane
after the regiment was discharged.
There he was recognized as an escaped
convict by Sheriff Tucker of Yakima
county, whom Ford, then going under
the name of Feamster, attempted to
shoot several years ago. For the crime
he was arrested at the time and sen-
tenced to ten years in the penitentiary.
He escaped from jail while his case
was pending on an appeal and volun-
teered for service in the Philippines.
When the sheriff heard his story he
offered to ask for his permanent dis-
charge. and the Superior court has just
suspended his sentence indefinitely.

There I.* only one thing that puts
them to their wit'., end. and the Bible
says they ha\« to study that. They
have been studying It all through toe
ages, and yet I warrant they have not
fully grasped It—the wonders of Re
demption. These wonders are so high
so deep, so grand, so stupendous, so
magnificent that even the Intelligence
of a&gelhood Is confounded before It.
He shall give his angels charge over
thee, to keep thee In all thy ways
Angel-shielded, angel-protected, angel-
guarded, angel-canopied, art thou! No
wonder that Charles Wesley hymned
these words:
"Which of the petty kings of earth
Can boast a guard like ours,
Encircled from our second birth
With ail the heavenly powers?"
Valerius and Rufinus were put to
death for Christ's sake in the year 2S7.
and after the day when their bodies
had teen whipped and pounded into a
jelly, in the night in prison, and be-
fore the next day when they were to
be executed, they both thought they
saw angeis standing with two glitter-
ing crowns, saying, "Be of good ch^-r,
valiant soldiers of Jesus Christ! a lit-
tle more of battle, and then th( e
crowns are yours." And I am glad to
know that before many of those who
have passed through great suffering-
In this life some angel of God has held
a blazing coronet of eternal reward.
Yea. wc are to have such a guardian
angel to take us upward when our
work Is done. You know, we are told
an angel condtcted Lazarus to Abra-
ham's bosom. That shows that none
are called "unsalted." and are despised
by the others. The modern Greeks
also sprinkle their babes with salt. If
an enlightened mother protests, the
nfidwife is ready with the objection:
"But if it isn't salted it will be puny
and never will amount to anything
If this salting process is carried to ex-
cess, the poor babes don't stand it at
all. The skin becomes as red as fire,
the Irritation is intolerable, and the
child dies in convulsions. Y'et there
is a mountain tribe in Asia Minor that
mercilessly salts its new-born babes
for twenty-four hours, which shows
that the limits of hi^an endurance
are wide in some cases. This ancient
custom is still In vogue in many parts
of Germany, but the rites are merely
symbolical. In one district a little salt
is rubbed behind the child's ears. In
other's a pinch of salt is put on the
tongue or a little paper of salt is in-
serted under the garmenL It gives un-
derstanding. the people say, and wards
c.9 evil spirits. Tbe action of salt in
keeping meat sound, no doubt. Is the
reason that this strengthening and sus-
taining power was ascribed to it.

In his entertaining biography of
Lord Houghton, Sir T. Weymss Reid
tells how when Carlyle paid his first
visit to Fryston, Mr. Milnes (Lord
Houghton's father), on hearing hia
guest express admiration of the pros-
pect from the hall, pointed out the
tall chimney of 6ome manufactory on
the far horizon and expressed his re-
gret that it should recently have been
erected and spoiled tbe rustic char-
acter of the view. "Spoiled the
view!" said Carlyle, "why, sir, I think
that is just the pleasantest feature
in the whole bit of scenery. It shows
us that somebody is doing something
in this part of the world at any rate."
Tbe best friendship says the least
about it.
