RELIGIOUS FRENZY AMONG TIE
Laps

A writer in en- English magazines says,
in speaking of service in Lapiand church,
g 1t seems that for the last few years "a
kini of fanat.cism has crept in among
these Lspps, ard the Word of God, in
stead of pouring oil upon bruised spirit
us every one is taught to believe who Will
read the scriptures Alright, only fills them
with imaginary terrors: snl far different
from the creed Of the real Christian, they
seem to think the best atonement they can
make for their sins lies i'll outward show
| have seen u little of this in other churches
in Sweden, where at certain parts CT the
service the women all commence groaring
and sobbiug SO loud that you can scarcely
hear the clergyman. This, however, soor
passes eff, and is scarcely worth notice.
These Lapps, however, must have been far
more susceptible, or far more wicked, for
all st once, when the communion service
began, two or three women sprang up In
different parts of the church, and COM
menced franticaliy jumping, bowling shrek
ing, and clappirg their hands. observed
one middle-aged female particularly ener-
getlc. and sank down 10 kind of fit after
about five minutes exertion. The infec-
ton soon spread, and in a few minutes
two thirds of the congregation COINED in
the cry and all order was at an end.
Five or six would cluster round one indi-
vidual, huggipg, kissing, weeping, and shrek
ing, TIL | really thought some one would
be smothered. One old patriarch IN partc-
uiar, who sat close behind me, seemed an
object of peculiar yenerat;on, and the
Lapps crowded from all parts of the church
to hug him. How he stood it | cannot i'm
agine; but lie sat meekly enough and a.
one time l counted no less than seven mis-.
cradle sinners hanging about the old man,
all shrieking and weeping. The religious
orgies of the wild aborgines in Australia
round their campfire are net half so fright
| full as this scene, for they at least do not
desecrate a place of worship with their
mad carousals."

VINO introduced the Tomato.

A writer in the American Rural Home,
of Rochester, says that the soldiers at
Pittsburgh and Detroit used the tomato as
food from 1874 to $500. This, he says,
was the earliest known of their being used
for food, but that they were but little known
until 1886.
There must be some mistake in this man 8
history. Gen. Harrison was ut PittSburg
as ensign in the regular army from lI9l to
1876, and was at Detroit and Fort Wash
inston until 1901, when he was appointed
Governor Of India Territory. If tomatoes
had been used by the soldiers at either De
, troit or Pittsburgh ut any time from 1871
to l10l, Harrison would have known it,
which he did not, as the writer distinctly
recolccts hearing the General tell when he
first saw tomatoes used, and atc them.
/ When Gen. jackson came to his seat rs
! President Of the United States is 1929,
q en-. Harrison was Minister to Colombia,
and was removed to give place to Thomas
! p. Moore, of Kentucky. On the Generals
return in the spring of 1880, he visited
! Lawrrncebursb, Ind, and on the 18th day
of April, 1880, at Hunts Hotel in that
place, at the dinner table, the General re.
/ lated the fact that at Bogats, in Colombia,
! he first learned that tomatoes were used as
an article of diet, and that be had become
very fond Of them. That spring the Gen
planted largely of the tomato, ard IN Sep.

writer partook of them at the table of Gen
! Harrison, at North Bend, when the Gener.

of South America, and was eaten by tho

to Europe General Harrison introduced
their use at North Bend and at Cincinnati
in the fall of 1880, as the Generals house
was n great Ilace of resort for fashionable
visitors frops the city. And the Genera
introduced the use of them at the table a
Washington the following year. From al

lSIARTIING RCMOR,

The San Francisco Commercial Herald
of July 9, publishes the following:
Very important information has reached
Us frem what We deem an authentic source,
to the etfec. that csertures have been made
by the Mexican Government TO that of the
United States TO cede all the territory Of
the former living pcrtti of line of latitude
drawn directly from the mouth of the RE
Graide to the Pacific Ocean, and that the
mater will epgross the attention OF Con
gress at its next session, with the greatest
probability of its acceptance. What are to
be the considerations for this eession Of
territory we are not informed, and it is
likely that the point has not yet heen settled.
One thing is positive, numbe; OF our
heaviest CAPITALISTS and bold operators have
very recently been actively in pursuit of
mines lying in the territory to be coded.
Several l., Lower California have already
changed hands, and mining engineers have
beea dispatched to Sonora and chihuahua.
It is evident to US that much commotion
exists about this matter In certain circles,
and that there is good foundation for the
report. By this arrangement the United
States will acquire Nueva Leon, Co.huila,
Chihuahua, Sonora, Lower California and
portions Of Sinaloa and Durango. 1t Is
probable that the postponement of final
decision by the Mexican and American
Joint Commissions was based upon this
consideration, aud it is not unlikely that
the Mexican Government may have been
influenced by The attitude of the United
States Government in reference to Mexi-
can inroads upon onr territory. Mexico
has need Of money, the States named are
distant from the capital, and there are no
railroads OF other even moderate means Of
connection. They cannot be controlled by
their Federal authorities, and are almost
constantly in an uproar. In these and
similar reasons may be found the induce
ments which have sctuated the Mexican
Government.

HAIR
RENEWLR,

Every year increases the popularity
this valuable Hair Preparation which is
due TO merit alone. We can assure our
old patrons that it is kept fully up to its high
standard; and it is the only reliable and
perfected preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color, max
ing IT soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandruf, and,
by its tonic properties, prevents the hair
from falling out, as it stimulates and
nourishes the hair-glands. Ey Its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger. In bald
ness, it restores the capillary glands to
their normal vigor, and will create new
growth, except in extreme old age. 1t is
the most economical HAIR DREssISG ever
used, as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair splendid, glossy appear.

GLOSS and freshness Of youth. INN
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restort
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimn-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair i produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff. which Is often so I'M
clearly end offensive. Free from those
deIeier;ous substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

Queer History of a Story.

Some ten years ago, says the Boston Id
rertiser, Miss MULCH wrote a story for an
English magazine, which was SO good that
1t was copied into Ha,pers' Monthly. 1t was
forgotten in English sooner than it deserved,
but Frenchman kept his eye on it.. Two
or three years ago he translated it, changed
the names, and appended his own signature
to if. and the Rertte accepted and printed it.
A reader Of the lRcrase retranslated it from
the French for Erery Saturday, in which Il
was published with something Of q flourish
before the real origin Of the story was dis
covered. 1t is q curious circumstances that
another reader of the Rerue in New Eng
land city also translated it, with Q nev
change Of names. and sent it to an editor Of
this city as an original story.
