audience, who hung as greedlly upon inns

they enjoved it as much as Kit Burns and MS

this stimulus failed.
Then Weston made a speech. lie In
formed the bystanders that those who had
bets on him need have no fears. He would
vet do what he had promised. Our Hindoo,
with the "Crook in his back is so foolish
as to believe that in affecting the body he
nuri6es the soul. He may be mistaken,
but his motive is good one. weston ana

his friends may win their bets. They cru
city him that he may evolve a soluble or IN.
soluble salt, and advance the cause OF
science. 1t Is question Of urea, and hui
man life and human suffering are of little
account with the dilletanti who hunt
for urates as for "hid treasure The
days proceedings were not complete
without the presence of the clergy and
so we read, "Drs. Tying and Potter were in
the private box and shouted encourage
ment to the brave fellow" This makes
the thing all right, and Of course under
such auspices Humanity and Christianity
and Science can look on approvinely. And
while Weston becomes flagellant amid the
huzzas of the best people in New York, the
men who behold the canine exercise Of
"the cog that eats the rat" in the Water
street pit are sent to Jail, city mission
must be maintained in Water street, and
missionaries must 90 to China and India.
There is most promising field for Christian
work in the Third Avenue rink. Won't
some healthy, enterprisng, and devout
Hindoo come and occupy it: The Thugs
and the Parsees are in closer communion
than we had supposed possible.
