"Sir, it is impossible not to be struck with the similarity of events hich occurred something like 1,900 years ago with those which are oc curring in our own day. Nineteen hundred years ago at a time when the empire of Rome had reached the sum- mit of its power, Paul of Tarsus in the course of his labors as an aposthk of Christ, was attacked by a mob and "his life was imperilled. He bethought {himself of his Roman citizenship and he had only to utter the words: '1 am a Roman citizen,' and his life was safe. "That fact was his talisman and at once he was safe from the mob. | Now in our own day, only last week, a disciple of Christ in the city of Rome, once the mistress of the world, whose name carried with it a mission like {that of Paul of Tarsus, ie also attack- "say.

Among the bright young men who wont into that contest was a young men recently out of West Point. e was one of the many poor young men who get appointments to the military academy and pass with creditable dis- tinction, and who are op the way to make good army officers.

The girl, who would have been a wife, became very much interested in the boy and ded the parents to allow her take charge of his education. She sent him to preparatory schools and established him at Harvard col loge, from where he is soon to grauu- ate. The young man spends his sum- mers at the home of this woman, who no longer is a girl, and who never married. She has made a will in favor of this young man, in which she also has provided amply for the care of his mother. Though the Spanish war is eleven yearstaway, the sentiment of this wo- man, who would have wedded the sol- dier, is as strong ae ever, and it is not likely that she cver will allow any man to come between her and the young man she met so long ago on the banke of the Hudson.

People who suffer from Sciatica, Neu- valgia and other ailments of a rhew matic nature say that if their muscles were being pulled to pieces with red hot pinchers the suffering could be no greater. The nerves affected awe in a state of acute inflammation, due to the presence of irritant poisons in the blood.

Detroit News Tribune. A physician who has practised profession in Michigan over half century, believes that most of the deaths in this country atfributed to snake bite are really due to alcoholic isoning. "I have never attended such "a cese," he says, "without find- ing the patient drunk. Whiskey is giv- en in such large quantities that it is worse than the snake bite. The motl ern method is to give no alcohol. In- stead a series of bandages are tied above the wound, and these are re- moved one at a time at intervals.
