~ COULDN'T GER THE RIGHT FLOP
In the year 1913, during. the Millerite
excitement, in the usually quiet town
I Of Durham, old Aunt Sally e., who
would weigh neigh on to 200 pounds,
got up one evening in meeting, and
in the midst of a warm season Of ex-
hortation, she arose and said So
ooh, brethren and sisters, bless
the Lord! I'll soon get away from
! this wicked world; I'm going to
meet the Lord in few days. My
faith is powerful strong. Oh, yes
powerful strong it is. So strong"
!. continued the old lady, extending
her arms, and motioning them like a
goose on the wing, ''that it does
seem as if | could fly right away
!, now and meet the Lord in the air."
The minister. who was as great an
enthusiast on "going up" as the old
lady, encouraged her BY exclaiming:
lss'a '"1'ry, sister, try! Perhaps you
can fly, if your faith is only strong
enough"
"Well, Ican,' she exclaimed, IL
know | can; l aoiN ="
1A3 She was standing near window
which was raised because of the op-
j pressive heat--for it was summer.
With her handkerchief in one hand
and her fan in the other, she mounted
the seat and thence to the top of the
pew, and gave leap into the air
with flying motion of arms, expect
ing to ascend heavenward. But the
law of gravitation was too much for
both her faith and the gravity of the
audience. Down she came with an
enormous and not very angelic grunt,
shaking the whole house with the
conclusion.
She arose, folding her wings, and
with great meekness sneaked back
into her seat, evidently disappointed.
The next evening some of the
young folks asked her:
"Aunt Sally, why didn't you fly
last night, when you tried so hard 3"
II couldn't get the right fop," was
the meek and conclusive reply.

1be EFFECTS OF ToBAcCo.-One OF
the members of the French Academy
of Medicine, in very elaborate
paper, drawn up with care, asserts
that statistics show that in exact
proportion with the increased con-
q sumption of tobacco, is the increase
OF diseases in the nervous centres
Insanity, general paralysis, para
phlegia), and certain cancerous affec-
!, tions.' 1t may be said, in reply, that
the Turks. Greeks and Hungarians
, are inveterate smokers, and yet are
: Iittlo affected BY nervous diseases.
But NJ. Jolly accounts for their ex-
emption by the fact that the tobacco
used by them is of much milder
form, containing slight proportions
d. OF nicotine, and sometimes none at
all. Excessive indulgence, there
fore, does no harm in this direction
and 10 case Of general or progressive
paralysis has been discovered in the
East, where this mild tobacco is in
use. M. Moscan ays:-The cause
4 is plain enough and evidently physi-
illogical. In all the regions Of the
Levant they do not intoxicate them
selves with nicotine or alcohol; but
saturate themselves with opium and
perfumes, sleeping away their time
in torpor, 'indolence and sensuality.
They narcotise,i but do not nicotise
themselves, and if opium, as has
been said, is the poison Of the intel
lect of the East, tobacco may one
day in the West prove the poison of
Life itself. 1t is the nicotine in the
stronger tobacco, used in England,
France and the United States, which
proves so pernicious; and the Frenc hl |
physicians hold that paralysis is
making rapid advance under the
abuse Of alcohol and tobacco.-St |
Louis Home Journal.
