The doctor iu In a Kennebec town reconimeuded sea-water for an old farmer'" wife who was Buffering from some ailiupnt, and the farmer started for the seashore with a Jug. The farmer had never seen the ocean nnd must have had an hka that It was private property. Else he decided that doctors never prescribe anything that's free. At any rate, he walked Into a store on the beach and anked for a jugful of Men-water. The proprietor looked him over and told him to po down and help hluwelf. When the farmer asked blm how much the price wna, tho trader nearly tumbled over, but he rworered and charped a quarter. AlKjut a month afterward the farmer showed up njjalii with bis jug and was told to "' out ut b"fore and help him self. I'.iit ti u ti'lf was out Lin trip nnd the old mmi wan obliKi-d to walk about a quarter of n mile acros the fiats.

The first time In the remembrance of th living generation the Sea of Azov is frozen over Kolid. The Don J'ivi-r and the Nea of Azov froze very suddenly In a rather unexpected way, and as a consequence a number of vessels were taken unawares and stopped mi then way. More than twelve steamers are helpless In the Ice between Azov and KoHtov, and a large uituiber of vessels are dispersed in various parts of this immense frozen shoot of water, first tossed about by the violent storm and liien held fast In the giaeli ' embrace. While the Klver I'on has frequently frozen over there is no record of the Sea of Azov having frozen solid in this century. IIar.1 at Work.

F.ro long shall swell from star to star; That light, the breaking day which tips The golden spire I Apocalypse. Again, I learn from mysubjoet that events .vhich seem to be most insignificant may be r.omentous. Cac you imagine anything noro unimportant than thocoming of a poor woman Irom Moab to Judith? Can you maginc anything more trivial than tho fact hat this Buth just happened to alight as hey .av just happened to alight cn that leld of Boa?.? Yet all ages, ail generations, jave an interest in the fa t that she was to -come an ancestress of the Lord Jesus Christ, and all nations nud kingdoms must ook at that one little incident with a thrill )f unspeakable and eternal satisfaction. So t is in your history nnd iu mine. Events hat you thought of no importanco at all lavo bi::-n of very great moment. That asual conversation, that nccideutial meet ng vou did not think of it agaiu for a long vliile. but how it change l all tho phases of our life. It seemel to be of no importance that Tubal invented rude instruments of music, .-ailing them harp and organs, but th' y were the introduction of all the world's minstrelsy, m l as you hear tho vibration, of a stringe 1 u.-;tiuiucnt, even after tho lingers have been taken away from it. so all mu.-i now of Into n 1 crum aud corcet is oniy the long con tinued strains of Jubal's harp an I Jubal's jrgau. It socmed to bo a matter of very lit tle importance that Tubal Cain learned, the uses of copper and iron, but that rudo foun dry of ancient days has its echo In the rattle :f Birmingham machinery aud tho roar and jauiof factories on the Merrimae. It seemed to be a matter of uo importance liiat Luther found a B:b e in a monastery, but as lif opene i that Bible un i the hrass boini 1 lids fell back they jarred everything, and the rustling of the wormed leaves was tiio sound of the wings of tho angel of tho ralormatiou. It seemed to b- a m-.tter of no importance that a woman whose name has teen forgotten dropped a tract in thu way of a very bad man of tho name of Bichai-1 Bax ter. JIo pi-died up the tract and read it, and it was the means , his salvation. la after days that tuirn wrote a book called "Tho Call totho Cuconvcrte I.'' that was the means of bringing a multitude to Go I, among others i'nillip Doddridge. Bhilip D jddrHgo wrote n book called "i'he Bise and Pro gress of Beligiou," which has brought thousands and tens of thousands into tlie king. lorn of God nnd among others the great Wilberforce. Vv'ilberforee wrote a book called "A Practical V;c.v of Christian ity." which was tiio means of bringing a g.vat mu'titti'i'j to Christ, among others Lcgh Btchmoud. Logii Bichtnoad wrote a tract catloil "Tho Dairyman's Daughter," which has been the meaus of the salvation of unconverted multitudes. And that tide of influence started from the fact that ono Christian woman dropped a Christian tract in tho way o Biehnnl Baxter, the tide of in-flu-nco roiling on through Kichard .Baxter, through the great Wilberloree, through Legu P.ichinoud. on. on, on, forever, for ever. So tho insiguillcant events of this world, se-.-m, after all, to Do the most mo mentous. Again, I see in my subject an illustration of the beauty of female industry. Behold Buth toiling in the harvest field under tho hot sun or nt noon taking plain bread with the reapers or eating the parched corn which Boaz handed to her. The cus toms of society, of course, have changed, and without the hardships and exposure to which Buth was subjected every intelligent woman will Hud something to do. I know there is a sickly sentimentality on this subject. Iu some families there are persons of no practical service to the house hold or community, and, though there arc so many woes all around about them in tho worai.tliey spend their time languishing over a new pattern or bursting into tears at mid night over the story of some lover who shot himself. They would not deign to look at Buth carrying back the barley on her wav homo to tier mother-in-law, Naomi. All this fa-tidiousness may seem to do very wel while they are under tho shelter of theii father's house, but when the sharp winter o misfortune comes, what of these buut rdies.' Persons under in lulgent parentago may get upon themselves habits of indolence, but when they come out into practical life their soul will recoil with disgust and cha.-rin.

Correspondence With Old Friend Great I'leasure to the Sage of Bartow. There is perhaps no invention or contrivance that has brought more comfort to mankind than that of let ters and their easy transmission by modern postal service. How wonder fully cheap they are and how swiftly they come and go! Only 2 cents to the utmost limit of the United States, say 4,000 miles, and only 5 cents to b carried across the ocean. It takes only 2 cents to carry letter to the City of Mexico, but it takes 5 cents to bring one back. My wife says that it is hard on Carl, for besides his weekly letter to us, he Las many friends, and the girl he left behind him, and his postage is quite a tax. She thinks I ought to write to President Diaz and Mr. McKinley and demand reciprocity, just for Carl's sake, but I compromised with her by promising to inclose a dime in every letter I wrote to the boy. In almost every mail that comes she is on the lookout for a letter from some of the absent ones, and when she gets one she reads it two or three tim.es and files it away on her side of the room. The morning and the evening mail has become as important an event in tho routine of our daily life as our daily meals. It is an event that has grown on us and become indispensable. Time was when neither she nor I received a letter a month, for she 1 ad no lover but me, and I had none but her nnd our postal system was a darkey boy. It was like that of Zeb Vance, who received a note from some fashionable woman in Washington with tho myste rious letters, "K. S.V. P." endorsed on it, and when he answered it he put on one corner "H. B. A. X.," just to keep up with society, he said. When she afterwards asked for an explanation he smiled and said: "Oh, they stood for 'Sent by a nigger.' " I remember w hen the postage had to he paid at the last end of the line by the person who received it, and it was 5i. cents if it came 500 miles. If less than that, but from out the state, it was lH j cents, and if within the state, it was 12$ cents. We had no decimal currency then, but we had the seven pence (12 A cents) and the thrip (6J cents) and they were worn to the quick from constant use. Itoibing told their value except their size. We received the great United States mail twice a week and the tooting of the stage dri ver's horn as he rose to the brow of the distant hill aroused all the people of the little village, and most of theia gathered at the postof.ice to hear the news. Perhaps there were as many as twenty weekly papers taken in the town, but none of them made mention of murders or suicides or lynching or elopements or baseball or football or bicycle races or the fashions or re wards for guessing or advertisements of celery compound or photographs of men or women or babies or the arrival of anybody less than a president or a governor, liut in our state papers there were some little pictures or cuts of hasty departures runaways nud all were uniformly advertised: ''Pan away from the subscriber, my boy Dick, etc., and! will give .?10 reward for his apprehension." Put now the letters ah, the letters that come every day! Pesides the family lete-rs from kith and kin, there are scores from good people who are working for church or charity, or want information about I lorida or Mexico. Very often am I comforted with com pliments which I love to receive, and very often I get a good, long letter from some old-time Georgian who for VaJf a century has been living Jexas, or Arkansas, or somewhere in the great- v. est. It pleases me tore ply to all and make the best answer that I can. Put perhaps I had better say just here that I have long since ceased to write compositions for the school girls or to assist the boys in their debating societies. I wish sin cerely that I hal time to help them, but I have not. I know how it is, for I used to get help myself. But somo of these letters are amus ing. One received a few days ago is very urgent to have my opinion upon the propriety or impropriety of a chris tian man digging a storm pit and get ting iu it when tho 'cyclone gives its warning. Is it sinful or not to show such lack ot faith in God.' lie says they are making a church question of it in his community. I have had sev eral letters asking for assistance in guessing tlie missing word that The Constitution oilers a thousand dollars for. These letters, of course, are con fidential, aud some beg me not to mention it even to Mrs. Arp. But the delicious humor in one of them is fhe offer to give me half the reward if I will disclose to her the word. That is verv like tho generous fellow who told the boy that if he would furnish his own hooks and lines and bait he would give him half the fish he caught. Since my last letter about how to raise children was published I have hod several very comforting epistles from friends anil some from strangers. Pev. William II. Strickland makes mention of several families from old Gwinnett whose. children are all grown and are esteemed bv all who know them as good people honest, law aouiing ana temperate. lie names the three sons aud five daughters of my old friend Jim Punlay. Also the eight children of lie v. D. II. Moncrief, one of whom now lives m Atlanta, ana has five sons and five daughters, all grown up and all good men aud wo men. John and Mary B. Sammous, j his wife, had thirteen to grow to ma ! turit, and they were all good. How ; rich these parents were! richer than Vanderbiltor As tor. And so were the ; children of IX W. Speneo and Wash j Allen. One had eight and the other ten. ! Well, now, one of the reasons is that I all of those families came from old I Gwinnett, ami most of the children were from thit old Sammons stock ! that lived on Icovy creek when I w as j a boy. The first couple 1 ever saw ! married outside of my father's house ! was Jim Punlap and Rebecca Sam i ruons, and Jim outmarried himself I wl-en he got her. That was an old- fashioned, country wedding, and it was a big one. They had turkeys and roast pigs and pound cake amazing, and they had thousand-dollar candle sticks all about, for every likely negro boy had a torch. But my w ife and I left there forty-six years ago, aud did not know that these good people had had so many children. May all such be perpetuated. And I have a good letter from Buena Vista, telling of old Dr. Keese, who has raised seven boys and two girls, and they are all good, Bober, industrious. Christian childen, and had a gentle, kind, loving, Chris tian mother, who is now among the t.i Timt U it. after all the motherthe mother the gentle, kind, loving, Christian mother. So I am encouraged to recall my ap- Crehension concerning the black sheep ing in all large flocks of children. Bn.ii Abp in Atlanta Constitution. TinPEXTIXK IRIPPINGS.

The session of the Sen ate wns one of the most eventful since Congress assembled. It opened with a proposition for tin official expression of sympathy to the Greeks iu their strug gle with Turkey. This soon merged into a turbulent debate over the disor ganized state of the Senate, during which Senator Morgan characteized Speaker Peed as the "great white fili busterer." The Nelson bankruptcy hill was passed by the decisive vote of 4'.i to 8. Allen, of Nebraska, offered the resolution providing that the chief executive express the sympathy of the American people to the gov ernment of Greece. The resolu tion was referred. The following Senators were named as a com mittee to participate in the Graut cere monies; Piatt, of New York; Murphy, loruker, Cullom, Cockrell, Proctor, Walthall, Shoup, Sewell, Gray, Butler, Warren Faulkner and Burrows.

Bland, of Missouri, protested vigorously against the course, but only had a following ol twenty-four, not enough toet a second vote. The Senate amendments of min or importance were concurred in except the removing of the Indian supply de pot from Chicago to Omaha. The amendment relative to the opening of the Uucompaghre reservr-tion was not acted upon While it was being debated, the death of Judge Holman was announc ed.
