The Scotch -American.
New York Scottish American : In re-
sponding to the toast of "The Scotch
_American," at St. Andrew's dinner in New
13(tark, Mr. Andrew Carnegie said: John
ic..nox did not pass into immortality for his
tocclesiastical or literary powers, but for
statesmanship, and because he in-
sisted that there should be a public school in
every parish. In this country people boast
of their Public Schools and educational
system, but the seed was laid in -Scotland.
Regarding the Scottish -American, Mr.
Carnegie quoted the statement made in
Rancroft's " History of the United States,"
that the first voice for independence came
mot from the Puritane of New England, not
from the Dutch of New York, not from the
families of Virginia, but from the Scotch
Presbyterians of North Carolina. That
showed that the Scotsman engaged for
• centuries in defending the liberties of his
awn cottutry, was awake to any menace to
liberty in the country of his adoption.
Another service of the Scotch -American wan
found when after independence had been de -
eared, and won in the field, a constitution
had to be drawn up for the young country.
'That constitution, the grandest political
work ever conceived. was the production of
.Alexander Hamilton, a Scotch -American,
and one of the greatest ndnds that ever
figured in American history. Mr. Carnegie
closed with an earnest appeal for the feder-
ation of all English-speaking peoples.
Sad Plight °Mike Cities.
In two weeks after a declaration o war,
England could place 50 gunboats on the
lakes and more than 30 armored vessels in
the harbors of our leading cities and could
concentrate 75,000 regular troops in Canada,
backed by a sturdy militia ready to march
,acrosa our border, while in twice that time
part of her Asiatic squadron could sail
through the Golden gate. Oar lake frontier
is er, cobweb. No land defences of such
towns as Chicago, situated on the shore
itself, could save them from bombardment
tThe best army could not protect Chicago
against a mediocre modern fleet. The ship-
ping and commerce of the lakes is attrac-
tive. The goods afloat and ashore suffice to
pay a huge war indemnity. They are all
at the mercy of an English flotilla. Some
people imagine that modern war has been
humanized out of such measures as bom-
bardment. But Paris was bombarded in
3870 ; so was Strasburg, and its beautiful
cathedral spire was seriously injured. War
las no msthetic maxims. The occupation of
et seaport leaves no alternative but submis-
Sion and the payment of a heavy ransom—
er bombardment. In a town like Chicago
this would be followed by fire, and we all
remember the $2 1,000,000 lost in the fire of
1871. --The Forum.
A Good Democrat.
Hon. R. P. Flower, Governor -elect of
New York, believes in doing good with his
money while living, and every year gives
away a certain pan of his income. Mrs.
Plower, who has a handsome fortune
through the bequests of relatives, does the
,saxne. Between them they gave St. Thomas'
Church, in New York city, $50,000 to enact;
as a memorial to their son, the building
known as St. Thomas' House, at Fifty-
ninth and Sixtieth streets and Second
:avenue. The Flower Hospital, connected
with the Homeopathic Medical College in
New York, was a gift from Mr. Flower.
Two years ago he joined his brother Anson
in building a $100,000 cherch for Tripity
Episcopal Church in Watertown. In making
this gift the only conditions imposed were
that the seats should always be free. In
the village of Theresa, where Mr. Flower
was born, he erected, at his own expense, a
handsome church as a memorial to his
parents. A score of poor, but worthy
families in Watertown have for some slight
service, been given comfortalle homes, and
many others have been helped in various
ways.

PERISHED IN THE FLAMES.
Eye of a Family of Seven Burned to Death
at Detroit,
TWO BO AND SE13,VANT GIRL EflOAPN
A Detroit despatch says: A frightful
fatality occurred shortly after 2 o'clock this
morning, when, in the partial burning of
the two-story brick store and residence of
George J. Reis, corner of Orleans and Cath-
arine streets, five persous lost their lives.
The list of the dead includefive members
of Mr. Reis' family of seven, viz., Mr. Reis
himself, his wife and three sons, Eight
persons occupied the apartments above the
store, but three of theme—the servant girl
and two sons, Moxy and Tony—escaped.
It was within a few rnornents of 2 o'clock
a. m. that Patrolman Frank Derbies noticed
the blaze two blocks away. . The fire was in
the front part of the store and spreading
rapidly. He at once sounded the alarm,
and although the department arrived on
the scene promptly the flames had spread
through the entire store. Immediately after
giving the alarm Officer Dorkies ran to the
burning building, and saw the servant girl
and Tony Reis climbing out of the front
window to the cornice. Another boy, Mode,
aged 15, was on a roof back of the building.
The latter climbed down the lightning rod,
and escaped uninjured, as did aleo 'form
and the servant girl, who jumped to the
sidewalk. When the door leading to the
rear stairway of the house was broken open
a frightful sight met the view. Lying.in a
heap at the foot of the stairway were the
bodies of Mr. Reis and his wife, burned to
a crisp. The firemen at once made their
way to the upper floor, and there found,
first the body of Charles Reis, aged 20,
stretched on the floor near a side window,
and in one of the front rooms were found
the bodies of the two boys, recognized as
Eddie Reis, aged 8, and Josie, aged 12. All
three had been suffocated by the smoke.
Ile bodies were taken from the burning
building.
The dead are : George J. Reis, aged 50 ;
Mrs. Reis, his wife, aged 45 ; Charles Reis,
son, aged 20; Josie Reis, son, aged 12 ;
Eddie Reis, son, aged 8.
George J. Reis was an old and respected
citizen, having lived in the vicinity of his
awful death for more than twenty years.
There is no clue as to the origin of the fire.
The damage to the building and contents
will amount to about $2,000.
A HAVEN FOR CRANKS.
New York Overran Mill as Mannerene
species (mike Gentry.
A New York despatch says: The crank
season is booming. The incarceration in
the asylum of the man who tried to shoot
Dr. Hall last Sunday, and the deplorable
results that followed the attempted killing
of Russell Sage a few days later, have evi-
dently only had the effect of bringing other
madmen out of their shells. One of them
was arraigned in Yorkville Police Court on
Saturday on a charge of sending a threaten-
ing letter to a retired wine merchant named
Conrad Harris, of this city. The man's
name is Otto Weyrauch. He is a wild -
looking German of about 50 years,
with no permanent residence. About
a year ago lie visited Mr. Harris and
asked for money, which he got. He re-
peated his visits and requests for aid until
Harris grew tired of him, and refused to
give him any more money. On Saturday
Mr. Harris received a letter from him
demanding $500, and informing him that if
he paid no attention to his request he
would be the next man to be blown up.
Weyrauch gave` his addreas as No. 134
Sussex street, Jersey City, to which place
he wished the money forwarded. Mr.
Harris handed the letter to the captain of
the East 88th Street Police Station, who
sent Detective Purcell to Jersey City, who
found the man and arrested him. When
he was searched in the station house a large
envelope was found 021 him containing a
photograph of himself and a letter headed
"My last will and testament; to the
grave -digger." Following this was the
statement," Please do not handle me rough
until you know that I am dead." Weyrauch
told the judge he wrote the letter in a spirit
of fun. He was committed pending an
examination as to his sanity.
A 'Monster Wave in the mecum.
A San Francisco despatch, announcing
the arrival last week of the steamer China
from the Orient, says she was struck on her
outward trip and nearly swamped by an
immense wave, believed tohave been caused
by the recent japan earthquake. There can
be little reason to doubt that this gigantic
wave was due to a mighty throe in the deep
bed of the Pacific. Such anomalous waves
are not unknown in the grandest of oceans.
On the evening of May 10th, 1876, one of
these monster movements occurred in the
angle of the Pacific bounded by the
Peruvian and Chilian shores and swept with
almost resistless force over a vast expanse
of waters. This tremendous oscillation of
the sea began a few hours after violent
earthquake shocks in Peru—the sea
first receding from the land and then, with
concentrated force, rushing in sublimely
upon Callao, Iquique and Arica eight times.
A similar ocean wave on August 13th, 1868,
following an earthquake, was most disas-
trous at Iquique and Arica, where its esti-
mated height was fifty feet. On islay'lOth,
1876, the sea was said to have risen
sixty-five feet in Mixillones Bay and
reached the Sandwich islands (6,000 miles
distant) very early the next morning. So
elevated and extensive an uprising of the
sea,, moving with enormous velocity, con-
stitutes the greatest peril to which a
staunch steamship can be subjected. If ex-
posed to its full force and sustaining its
direct impact, it is doubtful if any vessel
could survive. The experience of the
steamer China would mein, therefore, to
warn navigators on the Pacific to avoid as
far as poseible those parts of the ocean
which are known to be most liable to such
overwhelming commotions.

throne of Brae'', but, being a minor, the
country was ruled by u Council of Regency
until 1840. Fle wee a Iran of a very high
order of intelligence, and well known in
Europe and the United States. He did a
great deal to develop the Material resources
of the country, which prospered under his
rule. In 1871 he iesued an imperial decree
for the gradual abolition of shivery. The
total emancipation of the slaves in his
dominion was effected in 1888. On Novem-
ber 16, 1889, a revolution broke out -which
was supported by the army. The Ministry
resigned, and a provisional government was
formed under the presidency of General da
Foneeca. The provisional government on
the same day declared the Monarchy abol-
irshed, and, on the 17th, the ex -Emperor
and his family were compelled to leave for
Europe. The ex -Emperor has since resided
in Portugal,and rapidly failed in health.

A SMALL HAUL.
Masked Robbers Hold lip a Train But Get
Only $65.
A Rome, Ga., despatch says : A daring
train robbery occurred on the East Ten-
nessee, Virginia & Georgia Railway last
night. When the train which leaves Rome
for Selma at 10.30 p. m. on the Alabama
division arrived at a station about two
miles from the city it was flagged down,
and when stopped two masked men boarded
the express oar. Messenger Sims and one
of the train hands were in the car at the
time, and the robbers covered thein with
their pistols and demanded the cash. Mes-
senger Sims handed them the money, which
was only $65, and when assured that was
all they could secure, they quietly retired
from the car and escaped through the
bushes. So quietly was the robbery con-
ducted that the thieves had carried out
their purpose and escaped before anyone on
the train realized the situation. Deputy
Sheriff Turner left here this morning with a
posse of men and a pack of bloodhounds in
pursuit of the robbers, and another posse
left on a special engine to join Sheriff
Turner.

VAST MASS OP SILTEll.
Att Othi Set or Calculations by Mr, wells.
throler the heading "Four Bubdred Ml -
ions of $i1ver1 What does it Mop, ?" Mr.
Pavicl A, Wells, writing in .12coper's Weekly,
says:
The Treasury of the United States had in
store on the let ef October, 1891, 348,841,-
103 silver dollars ; $15,848,620 in the form
of subsidiary eilver ; silver bars to the
value of $41,579,253 '• trade dollars (bars),
$2,894,260—total 8400,161,326, or in round
numbers, $400,000,000. The Government,
furthermore, is increasing this immense store
by buying seven additional tons of silver
everal working day in the year. •
Now, what does $400,000,000 worth of
silver mean? Coined into dollars the pro-
duct will weigh over 22,000,000 pounds
avoirdupois, or 11,000 net tons ; and if its
movement is desirable will necessitate for
so doing the use of 1,00) railroad freight
cars carrying eleven tons each, or 2,200 cars
carrying five tons each, or 5,500 two -horse
waggons carrying each two tons.
Assuming a load of 100 pounds per man,
an army of 220,000 men would be required
to carry the mass, and would make a file,
in close order, 80 miles long, occupying 30
hours in "passing a given point," allowing
for halts or rests."
A cubic inch of pure silver weighs about
0.38 pound, and a cubic foot about 657
pounds. Hence,the $400,000,000, if melted
into a solid mass, would occupy some 36,-
500 cubic feet, which in turn would make a
solid column of pure silver a foot square and
about 6e miles high --the Washington Monu-
ment being 551 feet.
The Treasury counts its silver by weigh-
ing it, which is the part of wisdom' in view
of the fact that a man, counting atthe rate
of 200 dollars per minute, steadily for eight
hours a day, Sundays includecle would be
kept busy for considerably over eleven
years.
Piled one upon the other, the $400,000,-
000 would attain a height of 675 miles ; and
placed side by side they would carpet a
room fifty feet wide and nearly twenty-four
miles long.
WHEN ADE TIDE GOES our.
New York Nurses Say the Old Legend is
Trite.
" When the tide goes out he will die."
With assurance born of long experience
beside deathbeds, the nurse in somber gray
whispered these words to one of the suffer-
er's friends last night in a tenement house
in Seventeenth street.
The man had been workbag on the dock,
and a crane bad fallen and struck him on
the head. They bore him away to his
squalid home. The company had sent a
doctor and a nurse, but these were now of
no avail."
"It is only a legend."
"Yes, it is only a legend, but wait and
see.
There was a faint ticking of the clock, but
that was all that broke the silence of the
next few hours.
The night ebbed slowly away.
Dawn was almost breaking.
"The tide—it is very near the full now,':
whispered the patient watcher. "Come
closer if you want to see him die."
And the little group in the room drew
closer. And so, too, he died, died when
the tide went out at break oi day ; and out
on the bosom of the tide had swept away,
towards a great, unlighted sea, a human
soul.
" It is only a legend, I know," said the
nurse afterwards, but I have been beside
many deathbeds and never yet have 'known
the fancy to prove false. There seems to
be even in death, as in life, a strange tide,
and in the case of death a tide in some
etrange sertelelended and acting in keeping
with the circle of tbe tide that runs out to
the ocean."—N. Y. World.
CONFESSED A SIN
And Erought Confusion to the Widow and
Spoiled Her Joke.
In an aristocratic boarding house off Wal-
nut hill, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, lives
a middle-aged and well-to-do bachelor,
whose business habits keep him down town
until late at night. In the same house are
many charming ladies, and among them a
very pretty widow, who for purposes of
designation may be called Mrs. C. On Sat-
urday night they were merrily playing
tricks about the house, and finally invaded
the room of Mr. R., the bachelor above
mentioned. With one of the luminous
crayons now so common, in the composition
of which phosphorus forms a prominent part,
they dr ew upon the wall, in large letters,
this exhortation:
CONFESS THY SINS. "
Then they slipped into the next room as
R. entered the front door and listened with
the aid of an open transom.
When R. entered his bed chamber it was
dark, and he at once caught the blazing
warning on the wall ; but he also heard
whispering and giggling in the next room,
and, being of ready wit, he at °nee dropped
upon his knees and broke forth : "Good
Lord, I confess all of my manifest sins,
especially in that I kissed Mrs. C. in the
parlor last evening."
There was adcrash as of falling chairs in
the adjoining chamber and the sound of
fleeing females. But they do say that Mr.
R. and Mrs. C. are soon to be married.

THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.
A Norway Restriction Which is Said to
Work Wonders.
Temperance people all over the world,
and especially in Europe, are watching
with much interest the operation of the
"monopoly" system which was estab-
lished a few years ago in Norway. By this
the entire sale of liquors in any commu-
nity is given, to a company, under very
rigid regulations, The manager of the
company is required to not encourage
any one to drink, and to do all he can to
prevent intoxication. He must not seek
any profit from the trade, and all the
surplus over 5 per cent. goes into the pub-
lic treasury. No liquor must be sold
to minors, intoxicated persons, to those in
the habit of getting intoxicated, or on credit.
Price lists must he hung up conspicuously in
each salesroom, and these must be adhered
to. Guests are required to "pay, drink and
quit," and this rule is rigid, everything
being done to prevent their sitting down
and "having a good time." So far as this
portion of the system is concerned there is
general satisfaction, and it has greatly
reduced intemperance and the evils re-
sulting therefrom. Even the prohibition-
ists commend it as the next best thing
to abeolute prohibition. The main dis-
satisfaction is over the use of the
money derived from the proceeds
of the monopolies. These proceeds , go
directly to the communes where the liquor
is sold, and are generally used for schools,
roads, alms -houses, etc. In some of the
cities there has been a lively dispute as to
whether a portion of the money to assist
theatres was fulfilling the terms of the law,
that the money should be expended for
"public utility." In 1870, when the system
went into operation, the consumption of
liquor was over 9,000,000 of liters, or
quarts; in 1888 it had fallen to less than
6,000,000, in spite of the increase of popu-
lation and the importation of large bodies of
laborers on public works.—St. Joseph (Mo.)
Herald.

protective covering being canvas, silk or
other similar material. Inserted in the shoe
it relieves the pressure of the leather against

SITY; 3 THE REMEDY.
list. The Situation
Health depends upon the state of the
blood. The blood conveys every
element which goes to snake up all the
organs of the body, and it carries away
all waste or dissolved and useless
material. Aery bone, muscle, nerve
and tissue lives upon what the blood
feeds to it. Moreover, every beating of
the heart, every drawing of the breath,
every thought flashing through -the
brain, needs a supply of pure blood, to
be done rightly and well.
2d. The Necessity
The human race as a whole is in
great need of a good blood purifier.
There are about ezioo disorders incident
to the human frame, the large majority
arising from the impure or poisonous
condition of the blood. Very few in-
dividuals enjoy perfect health, and
fewer still have perfectly pure blocid.
Scrofula, a disease as old as antiquity,
has been inherited by generation after
generation, and manifests itself today
virulent and virtually unchanged from
its ancient forms. If we are so fortu-
nate as to eacape hereditary impurities
in the blood, we may contract disease
from germs in the air we breathe, the
food we eat, or the water we drink.

In Hood's Sarsaparilla is found the
medicine for all blood diseases. Its
remarkable cures are its loudest praise.
No remedy has ever had so great suc-
cess, no medicine was ever accorded so
great public patronage. Scrofula in its
severest fornis has yielded to its potent
powers, blood poisoning and salt rheum
and many other diseases have been
permanently cured by it. If you want

AN UNCOMMON EMPLOYER.
R. G. IngersolPs Parable of Capital and
Labor.
Mr. C. used to think about the law of
supply and demand as applicable to indi-
viduals. He found that men work for ex-
ceedingly small wages when pressed for
the necessaries of life ; that under some
circumstances they would give their labor
for half what it was worth to the employer,
because they were in a pesition where
they must do something for wife or child.
He concluded that he had no right to take
advantage of the necessity of others, and
that he should in the first place honestly
find what the work was wcrth to him,
and then give the man who did the
work that amount. Other manufacturers
regarded Mr. C. as substantially insane ;
while most of his workmen looked upon
him as an exceedingly good-natured nal,
without any particular genius for business.
Mr. C, however, cared little about the
opinions of others, so long as he maintained
his respect for himself. At the end of the
first year he found that he had made a large
profit, and thereupon he divided this profit
with the people who had earned it. Some
of his friends said to him that he ought to
endow some public institution ; that there
should be a college in his native town; but t
Mr. C. was of such a peculiar turn of mind
that he thought justice might to go before
charity, and a little in front of egotism and
a desire to immortalize one's self. He said
that it seemed to him that of all persons
in the world entitled to his pro. ,
fit were the men who ha 4
earned it, the men who had made it by their
labor, by days of actual toil. He insisted
that, as they had made it, it was redly
theirs, and if it was theirs, they should
spend it in their own way. Mr. C. was told
that he would make the werlemen in other
factories dissatisfied, that other manufac-
turers would become his enemies, and that
his course would, scandalize some of the
greatest men who had done so much for the
civilization of the world and for the spread
of intelligence, Mr. C. became strictly une
popular with men of talent, with those who
had a genius for business. He, however,
pureued'his way, and carried on his businees
with the idea that the men who did the
work were entitled to a fair share of the
profits; that, after all, money was not se
sacred as men, and that the law of supply
and demand, as underetood, did not apply
to flesh and blood.—North American
Review.

She—Manuna does not think that you are
a proper person for me to be engaged to.
He—But you love me just the same, don't
' ou ?
She—Why, I love you a great deal more;
in fact, I thought you were going to be
awfully stupid at first.
