friend, writes us 10 inquire why we advertise
patent medicines" We will here and now
answer him that we do not. Our readers are
aware that we have for years excluded every
thing of the sort, and the only seeming excep-
ton that We know Of Is the advertisement Of
DIR. ]. Q. Aver & Co.'S remedies, which now
stands IN our columns II our friend does not
know, we will inform him that these are not
"patent' or even secret medicines. Their COM
position has been made as publicly known as
any other scientific fact, and has moreover had
the approval Of the highest medical authority
Ia the land But what affords us perhaps still
greater confidence in their worth, is our per-
sonal knowledge of the man who makes them
aud the results that have followed from their
use--resuis as familiar 10 our readers ana 10

II has been our privilege TO know DR. Aver

sonal friends, nor have we ever ceased to watch
with interest his singular success in and En-
firing devotion 10 the noble profession he has
chosen. II anybody will tell us what we can
advertise of more interest To our patrons than
remedies that will cure them when they are

Initial Facts in Our History.

Our children are taught French moral
science and comic sections, and read history
of Greece and Rome. How few of them, and
how few men and women, know anything of
the history of their own country, except an
outline of few detached facts. How few
under graduates know that Columbus under
took his first voyage in the expectation of
finding the Grand Kahn of Tartary; that he
set sail on Friday l492-that unlucky and
direful day-and on Friday, ter weeks after,
he discovered land that he supposed Cuba to
be the continent; that he first reached the
continent on the north coast of South Amer.
lea six years afterwards that apon his
four tn and last voyage he founded the first
colony on the main land on the Isthmus Of
Panama that twenty-one years after the
first discovery, the Old World was astonished
to find they had discovered New World,
when they reached the Pacific across the
Isthmus; but that Cabot, an Englishman,
reached the shores of New England full
year before Columbus touched the continent;
that San Augustine, Florida, is the Oldest
town in America, being just 800 years old;
town in point of age; that twenty years
er-1602-California was discovered and
explored that in 1903 Frenchman, Sieur
San Augustine, at Annapolis, and twice at
tempted settlement on Cape Cod, but was
driven off by the natives; that Champlain
founded Quebec in 1908 that our coast, from
Pennsylvania to New Brunswick, was named
Acadia. afterwards New France that Cam
ada formerly comprehended our Vermont

PoI1GAMY.-Elder Hyde, as quoted by the
Salt Lake Telegraph, says:

PoIYGAMY-Eld Hyde, as quoted by the
Salt Lake Telegraph, says:
"The subject of polygmy was treated upon
in the former part of the day, and therefore
upon the merits of that subject have moth
ing now to say, further than this: We have
adopted the principle in pursuance Of the
revelations of God to us. No doubt but that
we may have more or less trouble in conse-
quence of it, as every gift and blessing from
the Lord must meet, in their recipients, a
corresponding trial, and through much trib-
ulation we enter the kingdom. There are
men now engaged in framing their plans and
LAYING their wires to toinaugurate persecution
against us on account of our adopting the
principle. A dark and bloody wave has re-
Gently rolled over the land; and though 1t
has measurably subsided, the nation is
struggling to extricate itself from its effects:
Now, if these men really want the honor OF
executing their plans-of hoisting the Hood
gates of persecution against US, they VIII
have the honor of drawing over the nation a
deeper pail of gloom than any that have pre-
ceded it. sOffenses must come Jesus says,
but woe to them by whom they come.

SUB RosA.-The term "under the rose,"
as implying secrecy, had its origin during
the year B. c. Al, at which time Pausanius,
the commander of the Confederate feet, was
engaged in an intrigue with Xerxes for the
marriage of his daughter and the subjugation
of Greece to the Median rule. Their negoti-
ations were carried on in building attached
to the temple of Minerva, called the Brazen
House, the roof of which was garden form
ing bower of roses so that the plot, which
was conducted with the utmost secrecy was
literally matured g under the rose" 1t was
discovered. however, by slave, and, as the
sanctity of the place forbade the Athenians to
force Pausanius out, or to kill him there.
they finally walled him in and left him to.
die of starvation. 1t finally became castom
of the Athenians to wear roses in their hair
whenever they wished to communicate to
another secret which they wished to be
kept involate Hence the term 'Ssub rosa"
among them, and now amongst almost all of
the Christian nations.

STATES EvIDENcE.-A good story is told of
George White, notorious thief in Westches-

stealing, when it was supposed that he was
connected with extensive gang, which was
levying contributions upon all the stables
around. Many inducements were held out
to- White to reveal the names of his associ-
ates, but he maintained a logged silence
An assurance from the court was at last
obtained that he should be discharged, upon
which be made oath to reveal all he knew of
his accompices. The jury were accordingly
suffered to bring in verdict of "not guilty."

How TO SECURE THE ATTENDANCE OF
ADULTS That irreverent genius, Mark
Twain, has the following paragraph in re.
cent letter to the Virginia Enterprise
The Sunday School Teachers Association
met last evening, and discussed at great
length the question, @ How can we secure
the cooperation and attendance, at Sunday
School, of adults?" They didn't find out.
Yet the answer is plain and simple. They
must provide something TO drink. 1t is a
sad commentary upon California morals, yet
why dodge the truth? for it is the truth that
adults here will not take fondly to any en-
terprise unless it promises free lnnches and
something to drink. 1t makes me feel down.

EFFECTS OF FEAR.-It is a common prac
tice, in many parts of India, to oblige per.
sons suspected of crimes to chew rice in
presence of the officers Of the law. Curious
as it may appear, such is the intense influ
ence of fear on the salivary glands that, if
they are actually guilty, there is no secretion
of saliva in the mouth, and chewing is i'm
possible. Such culprits generally confess
without any further effort. On the contrary
consciousness of innocence allows of
proper flow of fluid for softening the rice.

Can There be Harm In kissing.

The waters kiss the pebbly shore,
The winds all kiss the hills;
The sunbeams kiss the tulip-bud
For the odor it distills.
The dew-drops kiss the rose at morn,
The cerues dew at eve;
And fern and flower in eirclng clasp
Their mystic beauties weave.
The moonbeams kiss the clouds at night,
The star gems kiss the sea
While shadows, dreamy, soft and light,
Are kissing on the lea.
The zephyrs kiss the budded rsAk ~
That's blossoming beauty's lip;
And ruder blasts though cold and chill,
Its ruby nectar sip.
The winds, the waves, the budding flowers,
The laughing, merry rils,
Are kissing all from morn to eve,
And clouds still kiss the hills.
Even.heaven and earth do meet to kiss
Through tears of sparkling dew;
In kissing, then, can there be harm?
l don't think so-do you?
