THE FIGURES

As some OF the Republican papers have
taken to figuring mp possible victories fOT
their party, and as even President Grant has
found il convenient 10 speculate in the same
direction especially with regard to Pennsyl-
vania, i may not be altogether out Of place 10
look at the 0ata-ofiicla. data, Ioo-On which
reasonable anticipations should b predl-
Gated. 1t will be seen tuat the figures and he
prospects all point in one direction. In 1870
there were only four Democratic governors
to-day there are twenty-fOur Democratic gov
ernoTs. Ia Is5U there we're only four Demo-
cratic legislatures; 10 day there are twenty
thres Democratic legislatures. In 1870 there
wer- only ninety D5mcC attic members OF the
United States house OF repTe~e ntatiVe.; to-
day there are one hundred and eighty Demo
cratic members OF that body. In $50 there
were Znly twelve Democratic senators; to-day
there are twenty-eight. These are the figures
the elections cause TO be fOUJed up
but these are not all. The outlook for the eiec-
torai vote IN 1870 is even more encouraging.

SleepIcssness.

TO take a hearty meal just be-
fore retireing is, of course, iniur-
ious, because it is very likely to
disturb ones rest and produce
nightmare. However, little food
at this time, if one is hungry, is
decidedly beneficial. it prevents the
gnawing of an empty stomach,
with its attendant restlessness and
unpleasant dreams, to say nothing
of probably headache, or of ner-
vous and other arrangements, the
next morning. One should no
more lie down at night hungry
than he should lie down after q
very full dinner, the consequence
of either being disturbing aud
harmful. A cracker or two, a bit
of bread and of cake, u little fruit
something to relieve the sense
of vacuity, and SO restore the tone
of the SYSTEMS all that is neces-
AIRY.
We have known persons, habi-
tual sufferers from restlessness at
night, to experience material ben
eft, even though they were not
hungry, by very light lucnheon
before bedtime. In place Of tossing
about for two or three hours as
formerly, they would soon grow
drowsy, fall asleep, and not wake
more than once or twice until sun
rise. This mode of treating in
comma has recently been recon-
mended by several distinguished
physicians, and the prescription
has generally been attended with
the happiest results. - ScrIbner's

PRoDUcE OF THE EARTH.-Take

it, and causes it to grow, and lazy

yet all these yield to the despised
bamboo. We go fishing with
these poles; the Chinese eat them.

mansions 1 have ever seen, has
more natural advantages for drain

that does not receive as much or
more attention from the local gov

and of supplying water to ali OF the

with the glow of perfect health
from within, true beauty stands
forth in all its glory. The effects of
all medicines which operate upon

slow, no matter how good the rem
edy employed. While one to three
bottles clear the skin of pimples,
blotches, eruptions, yellow spots,

possibly be required to cure some
cases where the system il rotten

the report of the chief constable re-

U. 5. Marshal CoggeshaIl at the re-

The governor said he had no doubt
but that he could properly use the

he paeferred that the courts should
decide the matter.
He therefore directed the consta-
BILE TO make no further effort to
seize liquors held by the u. s..
Marshal; lie shared, however, the
general sense of modification at tho
indignity that the state officers had
been subjected to, and urged that
steps be taken for the early adjust.

threats had been made to use troops
from Fort Adams, and that the rev.
enue cutter Dexter had been placed
at the disposal of the marshal and
he asked why it was done. at

of waging war on the people of this

such proceedings as these are sus-

No graver question has been forced

THE ga ERTH-ITRH HEAT AND
GGbNTRAG~EION

Professor 4. NJ. Duncan. F. r s.,
recently delivered st the Royal In
stitution n course of lecturers mp
on "The Chandler Phenomena of
Physical Geography" He point
ed out that there is strong evil
dence that the earth is a solid
body now cooling, because the
deeper man can get IN mines or
in boring the hotter is the temper
ature, and if the temperature con-
tinues to increase at depths to
which man cannot reach, in the
same ratio that it does at depths
which he can reach, q temperature
of $3.50 degrees would be found
at a depth of 40 miles. At this
temperature GRANTEES and Iavss
fuse. Assuming, then, the earth
to be hot body now cooling, as
it cools the rocks must contract;
moreover. those rocks which are
rich in rilica will not contract so
rapidly on cooling as others, con-
sequently herein is a source of
change OF shape OF the earth. 1t
is we'll known that surface changes
are going on, that some large
areas OF land are in course of slow
upheaval, while others are slowly
sinking, and that at one geologi-
cal period there was a great up
heayal of the larger portion Of the
continent of North America. The
globe, therefore, is cooling une-
qually. The radiation from some
parts is greater than at others, so
in this there is further source of
disturbance. Sir William Thorn
son has calculated that every year
80 horse power of work.-for heat
means works got rid Of from
every e47 acres of the surface of
the globe. The dissipation ofen-
ergy and the contraction of rocks
not being uniform, the effect of
these disturbing causes is to pro-
duce horizontal thrusts, which
form mountain ranges by crump-
ling up the earth. for mountains
are formed by this crumpling &C.
ton, aud not usually by direct
volcanic or other upheavaI. The
changes produced by the contrac-
ton are slow, and there is every
reason to believe that our present
sea floors and our present CONT
nents are extremely old, geo.
graphically speaking, so far as
their present forms are concerned.
He said that the upper part of
Snowdon consists of sea sand, fos-
sill sea fishes, and volcanic ashes,
all mixed together; in fact it ap-
pears to have been at one time in
the same condition that the Bay of
Naples is in at present, that is to
say, volcanic ashes fell into it and
sometimes buried fish. The lower
part of Snowdon consists of vast
streams of old lava. At some
geological period the crumpling
action already mentioned took
place below the Bay of Snowdon;
consequently the bottom of tie
bay was elevated and became the
top of the highest mountain in
Wales. Rain, and rivers, and at
mospheric changes then playedlup-
on it during the course of long
ages, sculpturing out the beautiful
mountain scenery which character

reject salvation down TO the end of
life aud then save them. Tic per-
haps does so in some instances, as
in the case of the thief on the cross.
Mr.. Rankin became much embar-
raised in his temporal affairs. He
purchased two acres and half of
ground adjoining Carlisle, and en-
ployed brick maker and q carpen-
ter TO build him a house forty by
eighteen feet, two stories high. The
state was flooded with spurious
banks, and money, such as 1t was,
was exceedingly plentiful but. be-
fore his house was completed they
all failed, and there was an utter
destitution of money. and there
were many failures among all class
es of people. Mr.. Rankin was in
volved a thousand dollars in debt,
ard his salary could not be paid. The
state Instituted relief backs, which
loaned money on mortgage, aud
Mr.. Rankin mortgaged his proper
ty, worth two thousand dollars, and
got only four hundred. This he
paid 10 his creditors. His congre-
CATION being antislavery, began TO
emigrate to Decatur county, Indi-
ana, and there they settled In q
dense forest and founded the Pres
byterian church of Sand creek, over
whic b Mr.. Rankin's son Arthur
Tappan Is pastor. The members of
Concord church, with a few excep-
tons, emigrated to Indiana, and the
largest part of them settled at Sand
creek, and their descendants are
now wealthy farmers and have well
sustained Sand creek church. Mr..
Rankin resigned his charge when a
thousand dollars in debt, large
part of which was due to the car
penter who finished his house. To
him he proposed TO sell his house
buU lcL lOT tWO tAOueGAU OOAAot
aud take all over what was due to
him, and the bank in brick and car
penter work, to be done at any
place not more distant than Ripley,
Ohio. To this Butler, the carpen-
ter agreed, and assumed the bank
debt and gave his note for twelve
hundred and fifty seven dollars, to
be paid one year after date, in brick
and carpenter work, and received a
deed for the house and lot. Mr.
Rankin was 10 employ hands to at.
tend the brick moulders and mason
and board all the workmen. This
relieved Mr.. Rankin of more than
seven hundred dollars debt. His
other creditors agreed to wait until
he could pay them.
In January, 1922, he took charge
of the churches of Ripley and
Straight creek, in Ohio, and was in
stalled pastor of those two church
es. A kind Providence ordered
all these things well. The church
of Ripley had thirty-six members
and that of Strait creek had forty,
1t was in q forest and not village.
