The next time you go out on the Michigan Central Road, take a seat on the right-hand side of the car, so that you may notice about ten miles down the road, a little old, red farm house. The curtains will be down, the doors shut, and rank weeds and tall grasses will meet the flying glance in the front yard. A month ago old Nan Rogers lived there; to day the place is in the keeping of rats and mice and desolation. The old woman was a widow and childless. If she had a relative anywhere in this great world, those who buried her were not aware of the fact. She lived all alone, having only a bit of land, and being sided by kind neighbors to raise enough to supply her wants. Seven or eight years ago, when her last child left home to meet a violent death on this same road, the men of the rails became interested in that quaint old farm house. One night they saw a bright light in one of the windows. Its rays streamed out over the flowers and fell upon the rails along which the wheels thundered, and the engineer wondered over the signal. The lamp was there the next night and the next, and it was never missed for a single night until one evening a month ago. Old Nan, deprived of husband and children, made friends with the rushing trains and their burdens. The train men soon found that the lamp was for them, and they watched for it. During the early evening hours they saw old Nanny's face behind the light or at the door, and a thousand times conductors, engineers and brakemen have called cheerily through the darkness: "Good night, old Nanny—God bless you!" Winter and summer the light was there. Winter and summer the trainmen looked for it; and the more thoughtful ones often left a bit of money with the station men beyond, to help the old woman keep the bright rays shining. The lamp was not there for one train, but for all, and all men understood the sentiment and appreciated it. One dark night, not long ago, when the wind howled and the raindrops beat fiercely against the headlight and cab, the engineers missed the signal light. They looked for it again and again as one and only misses an owl. An Unpleasant Situation One knows not why situation for a man awoke by a venomous him.

This is so big an interest to sweep out of existence. Of the 7,600 to 8,000 blacks who have arrived in Kansas from the South, not more than a dozen are now dependent on the relief committee. The rest are at work, and some of them are already laying up money to buy farms. The cotton crop of the present season is estimated at an increase of 500,000 bales over the crop of any previous year in the history of the country. The wheat crop shows twenty to thirty million bushels increase, and the tobacco crop twelve million pounds increase. Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser: Mrs. James Bryant, of Lowndes county, donated last year her colossal fortune of natural black hair for the benefit of the Memphis yellow fever sufferers. It realized several hundred dollars, and has now come back to the original owner, by the kindness of a Boston merchant, who was the last purchaser. It will be filled for in Montgomery in an evening or two, for the benefit of General Hood's children, and everybody should take a chance. The Young Men's Christian Associations of the United States now number 854. Of these, 56 have buildings of their own, valued at $1,924,770.

The lamp was not there for one train, but for all, and all men understood the sentiment and appreciated it. One dark night, not long ago, when the wind howled and the raindrops beat fiercely against the headlight and cab, the engineers missed the signal-light. They looked for it again and again, as one suddenly misses an old landmark in a city, and when they failed to find it, the hand instinctively went to the throttle, as if danger lurked on the curve below. Each train abroad that night looked for the signal, became anxious at its absence, and made inquiry at the stations above and below. Next day men went down to the little old house, fearing old Nanny might be ill. There sat the lamp on the window-sill, but the oil was exhausted. In her bed, seeming to have only fallen asleep, was the poor old woman, cold and dead. Life and the lamp had gone out together, and men of rough look and hardened heart replied as they heard the news. "Poor old woman! May her spirit rest in Heaven!"—Detroit Free Press. Lottery Letters Unavailable Matter. The one hundred or more lottery companies in this country, which daily make use of the United States mails, received a temporary check last week, by an order of the Postmaster General directing that all letters to lotteries or agents of lotteries be sent to the Dead Letter Office as unavailable matter. It is held that the lottery superscription on an envelope is proper evidence that its contents have reference to lotteries. The companies, of course, will change the form of their letter superscription, and the Post-office Department is asked whether letters to accredited agents of lottery companies shall be stopped. This authorities are not willing yet to decide. While 99 per cent of the mail matter to an agent may be illegal, the one per cent may not be, and to refuse to deliver regular mail matter is considered in law a great crime. We may expect, therefore, a prolonged and dismalty from the Liberal League on the action of the Postmaster-General, and perhaps resolutions about civil liberty. If the sending of sealed letters to lottery schemes through the mails is unlawful, how much more unlawful is the sending of newspaper advertisements and long toothsome articles about "fortunate" holders of certain numbers? Not only that, but the days of drawing, the prices, and the agents in this and other cities of whom tickets can be hatred are freely advertised in bold defiance of the law. If the local officers fail to take the matter in hand, might not the Post-office authorities put a stop to the whole business by refusing to deliver newspapers containing these unlawful advertisements?—N.Y.

Seware of the landlord who wants you to make his hotel your home. He invariably arrives at the opinion that when you are home you cut your beef steak with a hatchet and masticate it with a corn-sheller. There is something passing strange about human nature. If a man had to support his family by playing billiards at two dollars a day, he'd swear he had to work awful hard.—Middletown Transcript: Lightning struck a tree in Georgia to which a mule was tied, splintered it to kindlings and melted the buckles on the halter, and yet that mule was browsing on the fallen limbs when hunted up. Are mules non conductors? The Iowa hotel keepers have held a State convention to demand protection. Nothing was said of the thousands and tens of thousands of dyspeptics in this country who felt the first pangs after gnawing hotel beef and drinking hotel slops. Sentiment and Sense. To study the world is better than to shun it. One must be poor to know the luxury of giving. To understand the world is wiser than to condemn it. Employment for the mind is what thousands are in need of. By being contemptible we set people's minds to the tune of contempt. To make the world better, lovelier and happier is the noblest work of man or woman. When alone, watch your thoughts; in your family, your temper; in company, your tongue. Let amusement fill up the chinks of your existence, but not tho great space thereof. THE LAST REQUIEM — There is something strikingly beautiful and touching in the circumstances of Mozart's death. His sweetest song was the last he sung. "Requiem." He had been employed upon this exquisite piece for several weeks, his soul filled with inspirations of richest melody. After giving the touch, and breathing into it that undying spirit of song which was to consecrate it through all time, he fell into a gentle and quiet slumber. At length the light footsteps of his daughter awoke him. "Come hither, my Emilie," said he, "my task is done; the Requiem—my Requiem, is finished." "Say not so, dear father," said the gentle girl, "you must be better; even now your cheek has a glow upon it." "Do not deceive yourself, my love," said the dying father; "this wasted form can never be restored by human aid. Take these, my last notes, sit down by my piano here and sing them with the hymns of thy sainted mother; let me once more hear those tones which have so long been my solace and delight." Emilie obeyed with a voice enriched by the tenderest emotion; then turning from the instrument, looked in silence for the approving smile of her father. It was the still, passionless smile which the wrapt and joyless spirit had left, with the seal of death upon his features. How She Decided It.—A young lady in Covington, Ky., had so many suitors for her hand that to put a stop to further annoyance she invited fifty of her friends and relatives, and all her lovers to call in the evening at her residence, under the pretence of meeting a charming lady from Washington. The friends nearly all came, and the lovers turned out to a man. Then selecting one of the latter, an insurance agent, she stood up before the minister who was present with the overjoyed suitor, and was married. The consternation that seized the remaining beaux may be imagined, but cannot be described. An Unpleasant Experience. One knows not of a more terrible situation for a man to be in than to be awoke by a venomous snake falling on him. An English officer in India tells of his experience in this sort of terror. It was the worst season of the year for venomous creatures, when Tom Norris and myself wore occupying a small bungalow at Jubbalpore. We slept in the same room, each of us having a lounge, and it was about two o'clock in the morning, and pitech dark, when I was awakened by something striking me on the back and falling, as the sound seemed to indicate, in a coil upon the floor. "What's that?" exclaimed my friend, who awoke at the same instant, and I made no reply, for I had the strongest possible dislika to say what I believed it was. "What's that?" he asked again; and then I answered, "I think it's a snake, and he has bitten me; will you get up and go for a light?" Tom Norris lay still for a while. Then he said, "Now, look here, old fellow, if a cobra has bitten you, he won't do you the least additional harm if he bites you again; but what is the use of my being bitten too? Hasn't you better get up and go for the light yourself!" Could any logic have been more reasonable? I at once got up, and after some trouble procured a light, and we began our search for the snake. But first Tom Norris examined the place where I had been bitten, and his face grew very grave, for there were the two punctures, and it seemed clear that a snake had injured me. We hunted about the house for ten minutes, and although I felt myself growing drowsy, I began to hope that it was not a cobra, but some less venomous reptile that had bitten me. At last the mystery was solved. As we entered the bathroom, a wild cat, that for some incomprehensible reason had taken refuge in the bungalow, went flying, half mad with fright, out of the window, carrying half a dozen panes of glass with her in her exit. In her confusion she had evidently jumped upon the bed, and her claws had penetrated my back, making two little holes precisely like the bite of a cobra. To say that I was relieved would give California Against the World. It is only a few months since the first cake of Phosphate Soap was manufactured by the Standard Soap Co., of San Francisco. As the ingredients and combination were the result of the best chemical science in the world there was every reason to expect something for superior to any toilet soap ever made before, yet it was birdily expected that the medical profession would indorse Phosphate Soap for its remedial qualities as strongly as they have. It is well known that physicians of high standing are conservative and slow to endorse anything new until they are thoroughly convinced of its merits. But when an article is worthy of confidence they are willing to indorse it. The public no longer wait in doubt, because they know that the physician who has lived in their midst for years and earned a high reputation in his profesion will not indorse an article unless he is well satisfied of its merits. Such men as Dr. W. A. Dougless of San Francisco, and Dr. A. J. Spencer of San Jose, Cal., have grown venerable in the medical profession and are respected by all who know them. Have well-known physicians, with many others, have tried Phosphate Soap both as a toilet article and as a remedy for skin diseases, and pronounce it superior to any other article of the kind. Theooting, cleansing, purifying and disinfecting qualities of Phosphate Soap render it a prime necessity in every family. Besides, it is most convenient article. It is good for shaving as well as the toilet and is also useful in removing grasse and impurities from clothing and delicate fabrics. In the Front Rank. The remarkable popularity of the San Francisco Weekly Chronicle is due to the fact that it stands in front rank of American weekly journalism. It consists of eight large pages in which a mass of news and interesting reading matter is faultless arranged, each valley under a special head, and every reader's peculiar taste is found to be consulted. Editorials, vigorous in tone; foreign correspondence, complete romances, poetry, and miscellanies of every description are included. There is nothing forgotten. To any home such a journal will prove an educator or the highest value — Tribune. Forewarned Forearmed.

There has been late years marked tenure among the idle and illent classes in England to reside more and more in London. Twenty-five years ago those who could live where they pleased did not ordinarily go to town at earliest before the Parliamentary season, but now London is fairly fail by the middle of October, and really quietly gay by November. The fact is that each year adds to the attractions of the great city, where amusement and sources of interest are perennial, and the somber climate, that best no of foreigners, is little felt by those who serve a few years apprenticeship to it—indeed, no persons are more enthusiastically attached to London than its American residents. Again, healthy Londoners are continually varying their lives by trips to friends in the country, runs down to Brighton, Tunbridge Wells, and the hundred other such resorts in England, not to mention Easter and Whitmanite trips to Paris. Everything comes to London. In the Horti cultural and Botanical gardens are finer flowers than the country can boast; the best cricket matches are at "the Oval" and at Lord's; the greatest horse show is at Islington; nearly all the greatest horse races can be attended tween breakfast and dinner, as can also many of the best meets of hounes. Probably this winter the town will be livelier than ever. Numbers of gentlemen are endeavoring to cut down their expenses by closing their country houses during the entertaining season, and reducing to the lowest possible point their staff of gardeners and stables, and they will betake themselves to town, where pleasures can be had at so much cheaper a rate than by giving twenty guests and their servants bed and board for weeks together. If some ingenious person could discover a smoke consuming machine, easily applicable to ordinary chimneys, London would soon vie with Paris in point of attractiveness, even to Americans.

We venture to say that since the world began there have not been many who have had more reason to be content in this respect than Dr. Holmes, who reaches to day the threshold of old age. Among those who know him personally we do not believe there is one who is not his well-wisher, and tens of thousands, all over this broad continent, in the land which has given to us our language and its world-encircling colonies, regard him with affection. And well they may. For his sunny humor has cheered them in moments of depression and anxiety, his rare common sense has guided them amid the perplexities of life, and his cheerful optimism has made them think better of their fellow-men. During the larger part of this three-score years and ten his pen has been as busy as though his sole occupation was to write. Yet it has been only in the intervals of professional work that he has used it. The skilled and indefatigable physician, whose presence has brought comfort to so many sick chambers, has found time to write poems that the world will not willingly let die, has charmed us with his graceful prose, and bestowed his wit and apt speech on every social gathering of importance that Boston has seen for two score years. He is not of the kind that rusts out, and we are sure that every one of our readers will echo our wish that he may live in health and happiness for a score of years to come.—N.Y.Mail.

HAY AND GRAIN AT LOWEST MARKET HATEN John Rogers has been well known in S.F. for the law PHOSPHATE SOAP THE BEST soap for toilet use ever manufactured. BEST because it contains all the excellencies of the most expensive foreign or American soaps without their defects. BEST because it combines strength with delicacy in such a way that its strong deterrive qualities do not injure the skin. BEST because it is the result of years of study and experiment in the soap manufacturing business, assisted by modern chemical discoveries. BEST because it contains ingredients beneficial to the skin, which unite chemically with the soap in such a manner as to increase its saponaceous qualities. Every chemist familiar with soap manufacture knows that some ingredients which are in themselves beneficial to the skin cannot be saponified; some are partially neutralized, while others injure the quality of the soap. There are soaps in the market which are to some extent beneficial to the skin, but they are inferior articles for toilet use. PHOSPHATE SOAP is the ONLY article offered to the public which combines all the best elements of toilet soap with medical ingredients beneficial to the skin. A superb article for the toilet, beneficial to the skin, giving it a soft, velvety appearance, and leaving a soothing, pleasant sensation after use, imparting a healthy, natural and lasting beauty to the complexion. It gradually the poisonous effects of cosmetics; preventing skin diseases by acting as a constant purifier and disinfectant; if used constantly will cure skin diseases of long standing; is superior to any other article for bathing infants; cleansing and healing for all eruptions on the scalp or face of chil- A superb article for the toilet, beneficial to the skin, giving it a soft, velvety appearance, and leaving a soothing, pleasant sensation after use, imparting a healthy, natural and lasting beauty to the complexion. It eradicates the poisonous effects of cosmetics; preventing skin diseases by acting as a constant purifier and disinfectant; if used constantly will cure skin diseases of long standing; is superior to any other article for batning infants; cleansing and healing for all eruptions on the scalp or face of children; good for the teeth; produces a soft, creamy lather, nicely adapted to shaving or shampooing, removes dandruff, and gives health to the scalp without injuring the hair. It is an old proverb that an ounce of preventive is better than a pound of cure. Twenty-five cents invested in a cake of PHOSPHATE SOAP will save hundreds of dollars in doctors' bills. It acts as a constant disinfectant, preventing Salt Raeum and other skin diseases. No salve or ointment can heal a wound or sore of any kind. Every educated physician will tell you that nature alone can do this. PHOSPHATE SOAP, by its cleansing, soothing and purifying qualities, gives nature a chance to act freely. Thousands of articles are palmed off on the public which have no genuine merit, but PHOSPHATE SOAP is the result of modern discoveries of celebrated chemists. If you wish to make your hands soft buy a cake of PHOSPHATE SOAP, and wher, that is gone you will buy a dozen and recommend your friends to do the same. Sensible girls avoid cosmetics but use PHOSPHATE SOAP for the toilet because it is fragrant, pure and pleasant. TESTIMONIALS. Nan Jose, September 24, 1879. To the Standard Soap Co.—Gentlemen It affords me pleasure to say to the public that I have used and prescribed your PHOSPHATE SOAP as a remedy in various forms of cutaneous diseases with the happiest results. I am of the opinion that it is the mildest and most perfect detergent that can be used, either for cleansing the skin and leaving it soft and healthy, or for removing the fetor and corroding influences of sores and ulcerations. I should be sorry to be without it in shaving my face or making my toilet, to say nothing of my good opinion of its remedial qualities. A.J. SPENCER, M.D. San Francisco, July 19, 1897.

Standard Soap Co.—Gents: I have tried your PHOSPHATE SOAP, and have no hesitation in saying that it is the best toilet soap ever used. My wife has used it and is of the same opinion. I have paid as high as fifty cents per cake for an article in every respect inferior to what you sell for twenty-five cents. HENRY H. LYNCH, 515 Haight street. We have used the PHOSPHATE SOAP in our practice, for cleaning indolent ulcers, and also skin diseases, pimples and eruptions of the face, so often seen in the young of both sexes, and can heartily recommend it to the public as the most remedial agent of the kind that we have used.-S. F. Mulcah-Literary Journal. OAKLAND, Cal., Aug. 1, 1879. Standard Soap Co.—Gentlemen: We have been giving your PHOSPHATE SOAP a pretty fair trial, and we like it the best of any soap for toilet use that we have found on this Coast. We have little doubt that it will meet with universal favor. MRS. R. R. JOHNSTON, 1016 Kirkham street.
