The Second Life.

PURGATORY AND PARADISE COM* PARED BY A MAN WHO HAS SEEN BOTH.

A. Miracle Worked In the Rural Receasc* of Borodino Creates Sensation. (Jfrom the Evening News, Syracuse, N. T.)

Albert Applebee was a very slok man. He had been ailing for months and had been compelled to remain home, unable to attend to his business. His friends stood or sat about the few small stores in the village of Borodino and discussed his sad condition. Applebee was a carpenter and a good one too, but since his strange malady overtook him he had not shown any disposition to do any work. Life had lost ita charms for him, he became a misanthrope and lost in everything. His friends advised him and the local doctors tried their skill on him but it was of no avail. Although they no doubt diagnosed his case correctly. He grew worse despite their efforts.

But he recovered and it has made such a stir in the small town that a 2Vews reporter was sent out to Borodino to investigate. He drove over and found Mr. Applebee hard at work on the roof of a house ne was build-

But .[ recovered after along sickness but wus left with an ailment which was quite us dangerous and iufinitely more painful. 2 had scrofula in my head for two years and a half or over and there was a sickening discharge from my right ear. I took about every medicine known to the medical fraternity but could get 110 benefit,

I was also troubled with severe pain in the stomach and indigestion which made ine feel that life was not worth living. Last fall 1 began taking a medicine known as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People which were recommended by a friend whose wile had read of them in some of the country papers. But I gave it a trial and was surprised to find that it benefited me. I' tried more and persevered aud at last thank God, I was_ cured. My ear has discontinued discharging and for the past three months I have been perfectly well. I make these statements-merely because I think the world should be acquainted with this remarkable remedy."

A

Descriptive Letter Fromjlt. P. A. Berryman to Win. tf. Nasli of tlie Lund of Perpetual Summer.

PASADENA, Cal., Dec. 26, 1895.—To one not accustomed to the grandnef and picturesqueness of mountain scenery theJPacific coast-is a revelation of what the art of nature can produce. You can stand at the foot hills of the mountains surrounded ,by beautiful blooming llowers of every describable tint and color, having for the backgrounds £tbe orange groves, and kindred fruit,* now yellow with the harvest almost ready to be plucked, and look upwards to the tops of those mountains aud see the sun glittering oa their snow-capped peaks or from the tops of them look down tipon the clouds—you standing in the clear sunlight whilst the valley below is shrouded in gloomiest fog, or wrapped in»the mist of drenching rain. But to gain those heights from which to view those.scenes is a task tinged, to the amateur, I found^ more with adventure than with delight, although the views seen when the task is accomplished repays the exertion made and the seeming risks taken.

Back in the mountains from Santa Barbara, whither we went to recruit what little there is_»left of me, in a higher, dry atmosphere, where you can stand for hours and not see a leaf rustle, and whither there will come to you only at long intervals, a sound to break the monotonous stillness, is a beautifulfplace, oindeed,—a haven of rest. Down the beach from Santa Barbara we i'went for three miles, driving on the sand washed up from the ocean's depths, wet still from the waters from the*outgoing tide, packed from the constant washing of the waves so solid that our hack wheels made no impression on it, the small waves from the broken serf at times washing up and over the horses' feet, then an hour and a half's ride up a ravine to our rugged boarding place That is a romantic drive. The ravine is a steep up-grade, twixt mountains towering high on either side.' It is narrow, uncultivated and rugged. The road winds back and forth across a small spring-fed mountain stream and it takes no cautious words from the driver to cause one to take a firm hold on the seat. The last half-mile is a veritable climb, and when there seems to be no chance of getting further we notice a small barn to our left whither the driver turns his panting and foaming team and points up on the mountain side some 109 feet to the place where we are to stop. The house is built—as many here are— simply boarded up and down on the outside, the inside finished by tacking muslin to these outside boards and then being papered o'er. The ceiling was simply the muslin—black from smoke c.nd cobwebs galore. What tales, no doubt, those smoky walls could tell had they the power to make them known. The most cheerful thing about our room was a large old-fashioned fire place, beside it a wood-box trimmed with squares of paper, each of a different style—crazy patch work run riot. But that was no more variegated than those we found there in control. The landlady was American, the clerk German, the cook a Chinaman,Vthe waitress a Spanish girl and the man of all work a half breed {.Indian and Mexican. We received kind and£courteous treatment, however, and good plain fare, such as travelers need, and^had no complaint to make.

We reached there 'about 5 o'clock in the evening—not long before sundown —so we were up brightcand early next morning to see if we could see where we were "at." We stepped out of our room, bumped our nose up against the mountain, then turned and down through the valley saw an opening that gave us a view of the ocean ten miles away. Following a trail around the mountain we soon came to a shaft that gave us a magnificent view of the great Pacific. We could hear the serf as the breakers rolled shoreward. We could see the island thirty miles away 'twixt which and the main land were many fishing smacks out for large fish to supply the markets could see the coast for several miles in either direction, and as the sun had just begun its work in that region it made a very pretty picture, suggested thoughts before unknown, brightened the mind in the cool still air, made one seem at rest—at peace with all .the world. All nature seemed rejoicing and you felt that if but all the world could feel as that scene then made you feel how great would be the unity of all mankind—how in truth and soberness could there dwell in peace and love human souls from every clime.

The mountains were thickly covered with small shrubbery of all kinds—the mountain mahogany predominating. This shrub though rarely growing to a height of more than three or four feet has enormous roots spreading out to three to five feet in circumference. These are dug up and burned for wood and with a little kindling to start it makes an excellent fire, though the dirt clinging to them had not had the time to dry. We found that all kinds of game from quail to dee** and moun­

tain lion were on the steeps above us. The mountains were from 1,500 to 8,000 feet high. The highest one we attemptedewas 2,500 feet. The trail up it, winding back and forth, doubling on itself at times two or three times in 100 feet with but little advance upwards, was sometimes at an angle of 45 degrees, often less, frequently more and varied in width from ten inches to three feet. The last 100 fe^t the trail disappeared and we had to pick our vn way, pulling ourselves upward and forward by clinging to the small underbrush and jutting rock, occasionally loosening a stone that to one as inexperienced as the writer, seemed to go down, down as though on perdition bent on seeing. The top of the mountain—Mount Arthur it is called—has the appearance of a mound. There was not more than twenty-five feet square of level ground on top, •then sloping down on all sides. The view was grand. To the right was Santa Barbara with its famous old mibsion. Still farther to the right, about ten miles from the city, was the noted Cooper olive ranch where is grown and distilled olive oil that at the World's Fair and Atlanta Exposition took first premium, not only over France, who never before had been beaten, but over all other competing nations of the world. Above this still farther was the Portuguese Bend, where in former years, whales were towed in and the oil extracted. To the left, along the coast were the towns of Ventura, Summerland, Carpinteria and Monticeto, at each of which are numerous oil wells. The largest one is at the latter place and turns out 400 gallons of crude oil a day. The intervening land 'twixt shore and mountain foothills was planted in orange and lemon groves, vineyards and olive orchards. In front in the wide expanse of ocean we could see the fog, like a mighty bank of clouds, drifting back and forth between shore and island, sometimes near one then the other, obscuring the island from view at times, wrapping in its misty folds the fishing smacks and a three mast coast steamer as it ploughed its way through the waters on its way to Santa Barbara, until it finally lifted over the island and disappeared. Back and around us everywhere, mountains, mountains. To be appreciated it must be seen.

The valleys, or ravine, such as we were in are usually free from wind except tw'o or three times during the year, when the wind comes up from the desert. We struck one of those times. It came up about 9 o'clock the first night we were there. It came quick, it came hard, and lasted until about 4 in the morning, when it suddenly left only to reappear the next night and the next, and after that it was as serene, calm and still as the traditional time when "not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse."

On our way back to Santa Barbara we followed a road around the foothills, passed through a Spanish settlement with its immense dance hall and scores of dark faced urchins and countless dogs at every turn. Then drove past the most famous and the oldest as well as the largest grapevine not only on the cpast but in the world. It was three feet in diameteij.and vining out in every direction, covering an acre of ground. It is now devoid of foliage. When in full 'leaf, with its clinging, ripening fruit, it is said to be a much more interesting sight than it now is.

The city of Santa Barbara is a sleepy old town. There is still much in evidence there to show that its early settlers were Spanish. Most half the population still are of that descent. The extreme mildness and evenness of the climate however, make it a great place for tourists, and 'tis "said thdt all during the winter season there are from 2,000 to 5,000 transients in the city.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have learned the art of extracting and utilizing these digestive principles, and it is for this reason that their Shaker Digestive Cordial is meeting with such phenomenal success in the treatment of dyspepsia. The Shaker Digestive Cord'ial not only contains food already digested, but it also contains digestive principles which aid the digestion of other foods that may be eaten with it. A single 10 cent sample bottle will be sufficient to demonstrate its value, and we suggest that every suffering dyspeptic make a trial of it. Any druggist can supply it.

WINTER PROTECTION OF LIVE STOCK

Purdue University Agricultural Kxpnrl-

a

meat Station—Nevupaper ltullutlu No. 18, January 4, I860.

A common winter sight, is a herd of cattle exposed to severest kind of weather, browsing in corn fields or standing humped up in chilling winds.

Food is fuel to the animal body. It requires more fuel to keep up steam in a boiler, when the weather is intensely cold, than it does when it is mild. In the same manner, other things being equal, it requires more food to sustain an animal freely exposed to the chilling blasts of winter, than it does for one given protection. In experiments conducted at the Indiana Agricultural Experiment Station, milch cows exposed to all sorts of weather in winter but provided with night shelter, made a very unfavorable showing as compared with those given the shelter of the stable, excepting for a brief airing when the weather was suitable. The exposed cows ate the most food, lost slightly in weight and also in milk yield. The sheltered ones gained in weight, and otherwise made a better showing than the exposed lot.

At the Kansas Experiment Station, hogs kept in conditions of winter exposure did not produce pork so economically as those given reasonable shelter, although the same kind of food was fed to each lot. In reporting the feeding experiments with steers at the same station, Prof. Georgeson says that steers to give the best returns when being fed for beef should be provided with shelter. Warm, low, open sheds in the feed lot give comfortable shelter to steers.

While live stock should be protected from the inclemency of the weather, it is important that the stable should be well ventilated and not too warm, Disease propagates easiest' where the air is stagnant and impure, hence special efforts should be made to keep the stable air pure. Without doubt, tuberculosis is more prevalent among cattlc closely confined in stables where the ventilation is bad, than it is where the air is good. Live stock should certainly be allowed outdoor exercise when the weather is mild and^comfortable, but if it snows or rains and the air is chilling, the animals should be given stable protection.

It is also important that the stable should not be too warm in winter. A temperature of 40 degrees is a very satisfactory one. When it is as |high as 00 degrees in the barn, stock turned from this into a freezing atmosphere to water, are very apt to be severely chilled and take cold. When the stable is at 40 degrees animals are not so easily chilled, when turned from the stable. Every stable should have a thermometer to guide one in keeping the temperature of the room as uniform as possible C. S.

LOLA'S LOVE.

Sle A.linlrna thenFaiicinatinK Harley Tutt. a Youth of ftlnny Acoomplighiuouts and ltlandialimentB.

Mioo Lola Wasson is a well known charmer down on Market street, a daughter of W. W. Wasson, of fruit tree fame. Miss Lola some time since developed a decided penchant for stage life, loud clothes and Harley Tutt. Harley Tutt is now devil-in-chief at the Review office. He is a versatile genius and has in times past allowed his powers to shine in other spheres of usefulness. Lie rode a windbroken race horse at the county fair, and carried off shavings at the coffin factory. Harley has curly hair and wears a ,red sweater .and when he casts his sunny smile on a Market street maid she invariably flops into his aims gasping out sentences of adoriug love. Some time since when the big August moon hung in the sky, looking like a big pumpkin or Harley's head, these two estimable young folks met. Lola threw away he!' gum and Harley his cigarette while the old, old story was breathed and tho band played on. The parents of Lola, however, did not take kindly to Signor Tutt, and he was told that the natural gas fires in the Wasson domicle were not burning for his especial benefit. He was told to go away and stay away. Lovely little Lola was told that she must never again give Harley the gay face, but must cut him like a pickled clam. Lola was deeply grieved by this and went moping about like a sweet little angel whose wing had been broken by a brick. She met Harley on the sly, however, and everything went lovely until Thursday last. Then the weather grew too cold even their love, which was so warm that Harley had no fears of the hereafter. Accordingly as Harley could't go to Lola's house, Lola went to Harley's and although she didn't play in his back yard she ornamented the parlor like a balsam bush in a pie shop. Lola's ma grew uneasy when Lola didn't come home that night, and next day telegraphed fer Mr. Wasson, who came home as quickly as the covered cars could bring hi m. After a thorough search of the town the police finally located Lola and she is now at home. She gained her point, however, and young Mr. Tutt, the racehorse printer, is allowed to hang up his red sweater in the hallway of Lola's house and to comb his curly locks before the pier glass therein.

The Ohio Statesman Addresses the Senate on Finances..

Cleveland, in His Opinion, is Mistaken in the Cause of the Deficit-

Congrnfts Could Not Approve the President's Kccommomlntloiin as to tho Financial Policy, Kftppcinlly the Curreucy—Congress Acting Hastily.

WASHINGTON,

Jan.

4.—In

the wcnale Friday

Senator Sliermun opened his speech by a reference to the two recent messagos of tho president of tho United Slates in relation to tho Monroo ('.ootrine anil to tho condition of tho national llnances. As to the former, ho remarked that congress had "perhaps too hastily, but with entire unanimity." supported the president in maintaining the interests and honorof the sountry "in the liolcl of diplomacy," but as to tho latter congress had not approved and would not approtrn his recommendations as to tho financial policy, and especially ns to tho curronoy. The president had mistaken, tho cause of tho present llnanelal! condition in attributing It to tho domtind for gold for United States notes. Instead of to tho deilcioRoy of revenue caused bv tho legislation of tho last congress, thus placing tho oflect before the cause. And ho had proposod os remedy tho conversion of United States notes and treasury notes Into interest-benrlntf. bonds, "thus increasing the interest-bearinif debt nearly 1500,"00.000." Tho prosidont hud1 proposed a lino of policy that would produce a( sharp contraction of currency, and Breatly to tho burden of existing debts, and carrest the progress of almost every American industry that competed withi foreign productions In theso views tho president was supported by tho seorotury of the' treasury. It was with diffidence that ho (Mr., Sherman) undertook to controvert their opin-| ions, but his convictions wero so strong that.' they were in error that ho hoped to eonvinco tho senato by the facts which ho would submit that tho true lino of publio policy was to supply tho government with ample meuns to meet current expenses, and to pay each yoar portion of tho public debt. The gold reserve could then be easily maintained without cost except the loss of Interest on gold in tho treasury, bus with a saving of interost on United states notes and treasury notes of llvo times tho interest lost by the gold hold In reserve. But a. vastly greater benefit than tho saving of interest was secured to the people by a national paper currency at par with coin, supported bythocroditof tho United States and redeemoil on demand in coin the trousury in tho principal cities in the United States.

Tho only dlflflculty in the way of an easy maintenance of United States notes at par with coin was the fact that during the administration the rovonues of tho government had not been sufficient to moot tho expenses. It congress hud provided necessary rovenue, or if the losidont and the socrotary of the treasury had refusod to expend expropriations not mandatory in form, but permissive, so as to. conllne expenditures within receipts, they would havo had no dini.-ulty with tho roservo.

This would have boon a stalwart act in harmony with tho president's character and plainly within his power. Tho president knowas well as any ono that from the closo of the civil war to tho duto of his inauguration, tho government expenditures had been less than tho receipts. In this connection Mr. Sherman produced a table showing that overy year during that long period there had been a surplus of rovenno, which had been applied to tho reduction of interest bearing debt.

Prior to tho present administration, ho said, tho aggregato reduction of debt was greater than tho law roqulred.

The president, Mr. Shorman continued, had complained in his recent annual message that the tariff act of 1&H0 (tuo McKinley net) was InsuiTlcient for tho purpose of revenue. That act, Mr. shorman assorted, hud not reducoil rovonues bolow expenses, but on tho contrary had provided a surplus. If tho tarilT bill that.first passed* tho house of representatives (the Wilson bill), nnd that met tho hearty approval of tho president, had become a law, tho doilcienoy in rovenno would havo been much greater than it now is: but conservative democrat,io souators, with the aid of republican senators had greatly improved the houso bill, uddlug other duties and changing its scope. The president refused to sicn the act and yet now ho supported it, when deficiencies wero trruatly increased, when the publle debt w: increasing and when doubts wore expressed as to the ability of tho government to maintain its notes at par with coin.

After a discussion. In much detail of the effects of the MeKihloy act and of the existing turlH law on Imports, exports nnd reveuuos, Mr. Shorman said that ho could pursuo no further tho analysis or tho two laws. Ho regarded tho Mulvlnloy law us infinitely hotter than the Wilson law which was, ho declared, tho cause of all the evils now encountered, of adverse balaneo ot trade, by exportation of gold and by dernngernont of tho monetary s', stein. Ia every respect in wnieii the subject presented itself to his mind, he could coinc to no other conclusion than til it the uellclenuy- of revenue and the consequent encro lebmentr upon the redemption fund wns the'cause of tho present limvneial condition, and the only remedies Mere, either a radloal reduction of expenditures, or an increase of taxation, and perhaps both. lie did not believe, however, tint a suspension of public wo:lts or a postponement of measures now in provrcs* to striugthon tho. army and navy was required. The 'president, attributed all the llnam-'.-v1 liiniouUio* to tho continued circulation of United States and treasury notes, amounting to nearly »ruo,0,0iw and heaving no interest. "It i«i just to Mr. Carlisle to say tliat he attributes the withdrawals of (told to silver legislation, tli:it the lJl.uul silver act1 was in force front 1873 to 1SOO when the accumulation of gold occurred and the groat bocy of gold was withdrawn after the act of July 14, istfy was repealed.

In view of theso oin-.-ial facts, can any fair man doubt as to tho causo of our financial condition? Whit otnur cause can be stated than that unwise legislation reducod our reserve belo-.v our expenses, impaired confldouoo in our ability to maintain our currency at par and compelled the government to sell bonds for the redemption ot United States "notes in order to meet deilcicncies? What other remedy is there for our Unancial difficulties except to borrow monev on the best terms possible to pay current expenses aud to provide additional rovenuo for future want J? To this extent and fur theso purposes I am willing to support this administration however much I may disagree with its general policy."

The resumption fund should be segregated from all other moneys of tho United States, and paid out only in redemption of United States notes Further on in his speech Mr. Sherman spoke of tho president's complaint that notes wero presented and paid, reissued and paid again and again, making a continuous circuit. When, he asked, had that circuit commenced. It hud commenced when this administration (supported by tho lost congress) hud oreated a detleiency because tne deficiency continued. What was Secretary Carlisle's ground for the hope expressed bv him that in two or three years tUfire would be no deficit? The only ground for such liopS ivas that a new administration would provide more revenue and then the circuit would be broken. "Why not apply the remedy now?"
