MOUNTAIN SKETCHES BY M. QUAD.
In answer to my "Hello! the house!"
the tnountaiouecr's wife came to the door
and uttered a "Howdy?" and as I asked
for lodgings for the night she looked me
OTer and finally said:
"Stranger, ar' yo' much of a hand to
mix in?"
"How do you mean?"
"Wall, kin yo' sot by and h'nr two
people jiiwin' without (akin' sides?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Won't take up fur neither one?"
"N."
"Jest mind yo'r own bizness and let

"Yes."
"Wall, then yo' kin git down and stop
fur the night. Put ycr boss in that
shed and the old man will take keer of
him when ho cuuibs home."
"I can't exactly make out what you
meant when you spoke about quarrel
ing," I said after entering the house and
seeing that she was all alone.
"I kin explain in about a minit," she
promptly replied. "We hev two sort

Baptist."
"Yes."
"The olo inau 8 a Methodist but I'uj a
Baptist from top to bottom. Shan't be
DUthin' but a Baptist if I live a thousand

"I see."
"Reckon by the looks of yo' that yo'

and run down the llapli.-ts. That'll Ore

"And I don't come in? '

"I do, ma'am, and my policy will tic

"That's it sorter between us, and

We had scarcely gotten our pipes
alight after supper when the old man
threw out a hut shot and was speedily
answered back, and for half an hour
things were more than lively. I stuck
to the neutral policy, though it was the
ardest kind of work, and when the

WHY (iOVK HXOIi BOB TAYLOR TAK
DOXED A TENNESSEE CONVICT.
One of the most r'markable political
contests of modern days was that between
Bub aud Alt Taylor over the governor
ship of Tennessee some years ago. The
brothers are both violinists in Tennessee
they are known as fiddlers. All' is the
superior performer. Bob plays left
handed. Neither one is a liniihed mas
ter of the instrument, but they both play
tho mountain melodies to the queen's
taste. During their uniquo rnco for
governor, Bob and Alf did not actually
carry their fiddles with them, but in al
most every town the people would hunt
up a couple of violins and insist on hear
ing them play.
When the election was over and Bob
was occupying the highest office in the
gift of Tcnnessceans, a convict in the
penitentiary one day sent him a fiddle.
It was a home-made instrument, the
couvict being its author and finisher. He
had made it while serving out bis sen
tence in the "pen," and designed touch
ing a tender chord in tho governor's
hoart by tho presentation. Tbe story is
best told in Gov. Bob's own way :
"One day just beforo Christmas a
state official entered my office and said :
'I have been implored by a poor, misera
ble wretch in the penitentiary to bring
you this rude fiddle. It was made by
his own hands with a penknife during
the hours allotted to him for rest. It is
absolutely valueless, it is true, but it is
his petition for mercy. Ho begged me
to say that he has neither attorney nor
influential friends to plead for him;
he is poor, and all that he asks is, when
the governor shall sit at his own Grcside
on Christmas eve with his own happy
children around him, he will play one
tune on this rough fiddle and think of a
cabin far away in the mountains in which
is a family crying fur bread and listen
ing for the returning footstep) of their
csuvicted father.' "
Who would not have been touohed by
uch an appeal? When Christmas eve
came the governor sat at his own fireside,
surrounded by his own happy family,
and, s ttiog there he played one tune on
the rough fi Idle. F ir up in tho moun
tains there was another hearthstone
bright and warm, the pardoned convict
was there with his children on his knees
and his hoart re-echoing the strains
which the governor played on tho home
made ti Idle :
Be it ever so humble,
There's no place like home
AX ANGEL, IN IHSGUISE.
THEREFORE HIS FOLLOWERS CALL
HIM THE "MODERN CHRIST."

DIFFERENT IDEAS AS TO THE LOCA
TION OF THE INFERNAL REGIONS.
At Underdid, N. J., there have come
new tenants for a bit of farm land whose
presence is bound to give a world wide
publicity to the place. They aro none
other than tho "Lord's People," led by
anson T. Huntsman, an avowed "Son
of God," or better known to tbo country
ilk us "Tho Modern Christ." Ho is a
mi of striking personality with long
lir and flowing whiskers, who could not
fail to attract attention wherever he
ht go. His powers of eloquence, his
visiuns and revelations have caused his
band of faithful followers to look upon
him as a veritable second Messiah.
The community has known this "Mod
ern ChriBt" for sometime, but it was not
until lately that he began to make felt his
remarkable powers. He is of the Meth
odist faith. Nothing daunts him or
makes him afraid. When he first began
to see "visions," he produced a perfect
turmoil in the social life of the surround
ing villages. Theso "visions" greatly
disturbed tho young men of tho district,
as they chiefly related to tbe personal
mpcrfections and vices, large and small,
of those of them who had ostensibly "re
nounced the devil and his works." So
correct were the preacher's "visions,"
that a reform movement resembling the
Parkhurst crusade was soon under way.
Much opposition was aroused against the
ipn and the demijohn with unceasing
valor, and declared also against the pur
ple and fine linen and small besetting
vanities of the women.
Just as the Saviour of Men suffered
untold indignities at tho hands of the
populace centuries ago, so did the idol of
tho faithful of tho '.'Lord's Farm." They
dispersed his meetings. They doused
iin in cold water; they mobbed him
His long hair and beard they shaved
half off. Then they hustled him aboard
train for Jersey City, threatening him
with even worse treat men t should he re
turn to preach what they called "detes
table doctrines."
But the mob reckoned without their
host. The "modern Christ" did return.
His was a courage oapable of coping with
any foe. IIu was welcomed to the home
of one of his most sturdy converts, (jar
red StoruiB. It was not long beforo many
crowded to his standard. But persecution
broke out ufresh. All the county formed
itself into a vigilunoc committee to inquire
into the practices of tho "Lord's People."
One Sunday morning a watchful
neighbor, who presumably staid home
from church to watch, discovered four
of the "Lord's People" openly and shame
lesaly husking corn, and swore out war
rants for their arrest ss Sabbath breakers.
Tho so-called Christ and his followers
really husked corn on Sunday and rt
fused to pay their fines, accepting throe
days' imprisonment without a murmur of
resistanoe us persecution for conscience
sake, declaring that the laws of God
Were mora holy in their ryes than the
aws of New Jersey.
All aro men of education, of broad
ideas and evident refinement. They till
the soil uf the "Lord's Farm," claiming
personal revelations from God, and have
an abiding faith thut their reward will
come because of works well dono.

Where is Hades?
The ancient philosophers were of the
opinion that the infernal regions were
located at an equal distanco from all
parts of the earth'B surface, which may
be the foundation fur the modern idea
which locates hell at the center of our
planet. This belief in a centrally locat
ed p'ace of torment or utter annihilation
appears to have existed among tho Jews
at a very early dato also. According lo
icir belief, there were threo passages
ading to it tho wilderness, by which
route Dathnn, Kornh and Abiram
descended; the sea, bcoause it is written
that Jonah cried to God out of the belly
of hell, and a third passage, which last
was at Jerusalem.
This third and last idea of the mouth
of hell being located in the capital of
'alestine is founded upon the Biblical
passago which says, "The fire of the
Lord is in Zion, and his furnace is in
Jerusalem." The Mohammedans, who
are noted lor their superstitious regard
for the number seven, declare that hell
is provided with seven gates, each in
tended fur the followers athe different
religions. The first is for recreant Mus
sulmans; the second, very wide and with
shutter always standing invitingly ajar,
is for Christians only; the third, located
near the second and almost as wide and
roomy, is reserved for Jews; the fourth
gate is the one through which the spirits
of the Sabcans will enter the land of
torment. Like the last two, it is wide
enough to do a wholesale business with
out crowding. The fifth is a small loop
hole of a gate intended for the sect of
the Maji, a sect so insignficant that the
Mohammedans' hell idea apparently
grudgingly allowed a separate opening
for their spirits when en the way to
eternal punishment. The sixth gate, the
only circular opening in the walls of hell
is the gate by which the pagans will
enter. Why the pagan gate is believed
to be circular I have never seen explain
ed. The seventh gate In the walls of
the Mohammedan hell is reserved for
the hypocrites of all religions. Strange
to say, it is one of the smallest of the
gites.
Whistou, the English astronomer, be
lieved hell to be located on a comet, and
that one moiuont the damned were suf
fering in the blistering rays of tho sun
and the next in cold hundreds of degrees
elow zero.
The Christian idea of hell, old as it is,
gives but a very dim outline of tbe
probable location of tbe "lako which
burneth forever and ever:" also there
a controversy as to whether it really
burns "forever and ever" or only has
effects which aro everlasting in their
nature. St. Louis Republic

Treatment Of La Grippe.
MARYLAND PHYSICIAN TELLS
HOW IT MAY BE CURED QUICKLY
AND WITH SIMPLE REMEDIES
-CUT THE ARTICLE OUT AND
SAVE IT.
Dr. Thomas II. Buckler writes to the
Maryland Medical Journal as follows:
When, iu 1S!I2, 1 published in the
Maryland Medical Journal a paper of
ten pages on the otiology and history of
influenza (la grippe) nothing was said
about the treatment, which is, after ull a
simple matter, and is here given in the
following brief words, whether the dis
ease is ushered in tho usual way, with
courbature (muscular aching ail over the
body) or primarily as a rheumatic sore
throat (tonsilicis) converted rapidly by
metastasis into endocarditis, of which
Bishop Brooks died, or commences as a
rheumatic bronchitis, which, transferred
to the heart, caused the death of the
poet Browning at the Palazzo liczzonico,
on the Grand canal, at Venice.
Influenza is always a rheumatismal
isesse and as such must be treated.
Therefore give at the instant of the
seizure our old-fashioned Dover's powder
e active ingredients of which are one
grlio of opium, one grain of ipecac,
with eight grains of sugar of milk, to give
bulk.
If the seizure of this malady is during
the day, put the patient to bed as soon
as possible and give the Dover powder.
After a sleep of six or seven hours give
dissolved io water, fifteen grains of
lalicylate of sodium and repeat this dose
every six or eiht hours; and to facilitate
the sweating caused thereby, cover up
well with warm blankets. Four of these
powders arc usually sufficient to sweat
and stamp out the disease, and thero is
an end of it, but if further required, the
salicylate may be continued without stint
at regular intervals, as already stated.
Both in Paris and horc, I have never
nown the most violent case of this dis
ease to detain a patient in bed longer
than two or three days at most. The
above treatment was adopted at the very
beginning, and fearing the seizuro might
be at night, the above simple remedies
were always kept in the house.
But when this treatment is not adopt
ed at once and carefully carried out the
morbid elements may fly to some vital
organ, causing detention in bed lor
weeks and not infrequently loss of life
fterward, or months or years of more or
less suffering.
The use of Dover's powder, followed
by salicylate of sodium is so wholly and
entirely the proper mode cf treating
influeozi that no other method need for
one moment be entertained or mado
subject for inquiry or experiment. The
Dover-salicylate is not only the best
trea'mont for complicated influenza, but
the best for the visceral rheumatism
which in many cases attends or rapidly
follows it, and as no time should there
fore be lost in giving the salicylate, the
first dose of it may be given contempor
aneously with the Dover's powder and
the other single doses continued at the
intervals already stated.

'KISS HEIt AND TELL II EU
SO."
Integrity of character, a right seno of
honor, manliness and respect for what is
pure aid goad aro all adjuncts to the
perfeot happiness of married life, writes
Mary J. Holmes, io answer to tho ques
tion "What Constitutes A Good Hus
band?" in tho July Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Rut most natuios crave moro than
theso, and what they crave is so easy to
give that I wonder it is ever withheld.
Said a woman of her husband who, when
living, stood high with his followmeo and
surrounded her with every luxury: "I
loved him most for hia kind thoughifu'
niNs and delicate attentions which made
me feci that I was as dear to him after
years of marriage as on the first day he
oallol mo wife." Acd this, I think, is
the secret of some women's happiness.
It is not enough for a man to make a
woman his with, and after a few weeks
oi months of attention ignore her with a
fooling that because he has chosen her
to bear hit name she must be forover
satisfied, with no further demonstration
of his love. Women like demonstrations
and thero is a word of good advice in two
linoa of an old ballad I lately read:
"If your wife is dearer to you than life,
Kiss hor and tell her to."
"Now, dear, I havo one favor to ask
of you."
"It is granted."
" 1 hen, please don t tell mo that you keep on hand General Merchandise. We
have never loved before, that you never wi" ul,y un or(,er anything a farmer may
dreamed that you could love, that I'm
the only girl you have ever been engaged
to, that "
He (interrupting) "I won't."
She (anxiously) "But you have nev
er been engaged before, have you, dear?"
Brooklyn Life.
tie "it l could but be installed id
your heart as "She "My heart is
no installment houso."
He "Why do they call women the
fair sex?" She "To distinguish them
from the unfair sex, no doubt."
He "Do you think my picture looks
like me?" She (sympathetically) "Yes,
I am sorry to say it docs."
Reggy (quoting Hamlet) "If thou
wilt marry, marry a fool." Maude
"Oh, Tom, this is so sudden."
"Do you think his kissing her was so
much of a surprise as she says?" "I do.
Why, she even forgot to scream."
"Good resolutions, Charlie, are a great
thing on the first of tho new year.
Yes, I know, Jack; but they get to be
an old story on the second."
His wedding trip was very short,
For he was seen to falter
He took it on her bridal train,
Descending from the altar.
He "Yes; I was out sleighing. And
froze all my fingers." She (who wasn't
along) "I don't see how a young man
can get tho fingers on both hands frozen."
