When Dr. Ayer announced his Sarsapa. rtua ta the world..ie at once found the physicians his friends, Such a remedy was what they had looked for, and they were prompt to appreciate its merits and prescribe it.

Although at the period of the Revolu- tion it WaS not customary to employ fe- males in printing offices, yet a Newnan "master printer" was not an uncommon thing. Margaret Draper, the widow of Richard, succeeded her husband in 1774, as publisher of tho Boston News Letter, and conducted its concern herself for some time. When tbe British evacuated Boston, Mrs. Draper, being a loyal woman, left with the army and went to England, where she received a pension from the government. • Mrs. Mary Holt, widow of John Holt and publish'- of the New York Journal in 1793, was appointed printer to tbe state. The Journal did great service during the Revolution. Mrs. H. Boyle published a paper at Williamsburg, Va., in 1774. It favored the British and lived but a short time. Clementine Bircl succeeded ber husband in the Virginia Gazette in 1772 and con- tinued its gublication antil 1775, when sbe died. Thomas Jefferson was one ot her dontributors. Mrs. Elizabeth Thnotb- er, after the death of her husband, in 1773. continued publishing The Gazette in Charleston. She continued its publication a few years until she was succeeded by her son. Alum Timotber, the widow of this son, after the Revolutionary war ceased re- Vived The Gazette, which had been discon- tinued while the British troops were in possession of Charleston. She was ap- pointed printer to the state and held the office until 1790. The most distinguished example of "the woman in journalism" was Miss Mary Katharine Goddard, who was an actuality more than 100 years before the resent eie • ployment of members of her sex as editors and reporters. Miss Goddard's family was of tbe upper colonial class, her father, Giles Goddard, physician, having been postmaster of Now London, Conn., where she was born. Her brother, William Goddard, la 'February, 1773; determined to start a newspaper in Baltimore, and on Aug, 20 of the same year he pablished in that city the first number of The Maryland Journal and Baltimore Advertiser, the first newspaper published lu Baltimore.

FRITZ IS A GRAVMYARD DOG. ern In a Cemetery and Boa Attended More Than 2,000 Finierals. Fritz is not a prepossessing clog by any means. He is not a thoroughbred, and he is not well groomed, but in bis own lino there is not a dog in tho wbole co tin t ry like Mutt line is graveyards, and Fritz is a "graveyard" dog. He has been to over 2,000 funerals, and will probably see as many again before ho libuself jolas the great majority of dead canines. Six years ago Fritz was born in the American Moll:mice cemetery, at Twen- ty-second. anti Diamond streets. The met place of his birth was ander the little chapel where tbe last prayers are mid over the dead, and in tbis melancholy atmos- phere Fritz grew up. His brotbers and sis- ters, tbree in number, were not so fortun- ate. One died; tbe other two were either stolen or, unable to stand the depresshag influence, ran away. Feltz's niother also disappeared, and he was left alone. Silla0 then his dispoeition has been melancholy. Perhape :row disappoietment, perhaps from a morbid taste imbued by hissolitary life, Fritz at a years old baean to attend funerals. No ono objected. His behavior was above reproach, and gradually the picture of the little bleak and white dog, walking aueurnailly along in his fuvorite position just behind the coffin, grew fa- miliar. Now it has come to pass that no funeral is complete without Fritz. Just as soon as the chapel bell rings, no matter where Fritz is, he rushes to the spot from where he knows the eolith will be taken. However escited be is, he never barks, end, except when be is outside the ceme- tery, be never barks at all. Usually, also, he lies down by the grave- digger alien a grave Is being opened, and a story is told of blau by one of Superin- tendent Reel's men that during one rainy night Fritz's loud yelping, not barking, but wailing, was beard continually. No one paid any attention to it, but next morning Fritz was founffbeside a grave which bad been inade the afternoon before and which had caved in clueing the night on acconnt of the rain. The best thing about Fritz is that no matter whether it is a $25 funeral, with just a hearse and 120 carriages, or a $250 funeral, with 20 carriages, he shows just as much respect for the dead in either case. Ho is not a snob by any means.— Philadelphia Times. What a Sham Battle Is Like. The spectators could understand neither its scope nor its extent. They could see that battles in those days are not fought or won' by a steady onward movement, with men marcbleg erect and shootang as they go, but by a series of rushes, with the combatants throwing themselves fiat upon tbe ground to avoid the fire of their oppo- nents. The more observant of the specta- tors could see also that victory in battle meant the gaining of certain positions rather than the more killing of men. But to all, to guardsmen as well as to spectators, the grout puzzle of the day was how it was all done. Whet pcm or was there that could bring these forces, without sign of command or communientiou of aey kind between them, into a fairies of positions, with reties and advances over billtops and plains, througla ravines and around swamps and over bridges; that brought order out of great contusion ; that made each °eel] soldier filially a more unit at rest in a loog line of other units at rest, where but a moment before each man bad been running, leaping, cheering,'shooting, under that most powerful stimulant in battle, the smell of powder?—"An Ameri- can Army Maneuver," by Franklin Mat- thews, in Harper's Magazine. • The Way It Struck Ker.

Thirty-two nundred of Them 'Used to Make a Plano. Some time ago a Birmingham firm of matchmakers offered prizes for the most striking novelties made out of not less than 1,000 of "our match boxes." Com- petent judges--arebiteets chiefly—were ap- pointed. Tbe instrument awarded first prize was a svondertul piano, made by G. W. Roberts. Ile used upward of 3,200 or- dinary match boxes and 576 boxes that contained small wax vestals. The only other thing he used was five pounds of glue. Originality seems to run in the Roberts family, for a marvelous model of the groat Laxey wheel, in the isle of Man, was made by Miss L. W. Roberts, sister to the designer of the piano. "The Laxey wheel," writes Mr. Roberts, "was 6 feet in length and 4 feet high. It took a little less than six months to make it and used up about 3,000 match boxes." In some oases more than one competitor took the same original forhis model. For instance, the Laxey wheel was also adopt- ed by Mr. James Shaw of 56 Dickinson street, Nottingham. Mr. Shaw's model, which won the second prize, was no less than 6 feet 7.14 inches in height, 2 feet in depth and 8 feet in length. It contained 45,000 boxes and took five months to com- plete. Tbe wheel itself was 5 feet 6 inches in diameter and went by olockwork. Mr. F. Marshall of Nottingham gained a prize in tho second competition with a faithful reproduction of the Forth bridge. He also constructed an Eiffel bicycle. When complete, this model was in full working order. It gontains 1,100 match noses and stands a little more than 6 feet in height. The diamond stays are two boxes thica. The driving chain is 9 feet long and was nuale from the sides of the reateli box drawers, glued on to tape. The wheels are 24 inches in diameter. Another model of Mr. Marshall's was a reproduc- tion of the lighthouse near New Brighton. This model was fitted with a revolving lantern, and the whole contained 2,900 match boxes.—London Strand.

"And the multitude said, This Is jesus, the prophet of Netzareth of Gali- lee," Mit there was doubtless more in the teetituony of one Nathenieltlaan in a mul- titude of these voices when he said; "Rab- bi, tbou art the Son of God.

"And Jesus went into the temple of God and oast out all them that sold and bought in the temple and overthrow the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of them that sold. doves." Compare John in 13-16. It is very significant and con- tains a most heart searching lesson. that He sheald do the sante thing both at the beginning- and end of IIis ministry. It re- minds us that in us, who aro temples of the Holy Ghost, He desires truth in the in- ward parts; that Ile wants nono of the entanglements of this world in His peo- ple's hoots, but that our lives should make it manifest that, though in the world, we are not of the world, but citi- zens of heaven and here fax His service and pleasure only. 13. "And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves." Speaking of Christ in Bela. iii, 6, the Spirit says, "Whose house are we?" and in Eph. ii, 21, 22, "An holy temple in the Lord, an habitation of God through the Spirit," are the names given to the ohuroh, which is His body. The church collectively and every believer individually is a house in which the Spirit desires to make constant prayer on the lines of Math. ia, 88; Isa. Lain 6, 7, and Rev. xxii, 20, but if, instead of being wholly given up to Hitu for such prayer and corresponding service, we are given Over to selfishness and worldliness and oiim own thoughts and ways, are we not naore guilty than Israel, inasmuch as our privileges are greater, being His body? 14. "And the blind and the lame eaine to Him in the temple, and He healed them." Not to make money and gather substance is the great thing iti life, but to have to give to those who need (Eph. iv, 28). To be a means of bringing the grace of God. and the riches of His grace to those who know it not and know him not—this Is life indeed. To be a channel of blessing from the great and only fountain (aer. 13), to the poor and the perishing—this is Cheistlike. 15. "And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did and the childret crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were sore displeased."
