AiINDING to the commission that is con-
sidering the causes and peculiarities of the
yellow fever, 4 New York paper correctly
suggests that no such body OF men should
convene and adjourn without putting itself
strongly on record against dirty streets,
badly ventilated public and private build
ings, filthy tenemcnts, imperfect drainage
defective heating arrangements, injudicious
dress, bad cookery, and many other fruitful
but almost unnoticcd causes Of unnecessary
mortality. 1t is not right that the principal
public protests in print against such evils
should be made 10y unprofe>sional writers.
Every prominent sanitarian has at some
time inveighci against one or more Of these
faults, but the errors that come Of ignor-
ance are not killed by single blow; they
succumb only to the most persistent pun
melting by the stoutest arms and the men
who are regarded as authority on such sub
jects are the ones to do the fighting"

CLIMAX OF CREDULITY CAPPED

CLIMAX OF CREDULITY CAPPED.
1t has been said that when person is con-
firm in the faith of the Spiritualists, there
is no spiritualistic absurdity so gross, or
fac. so preposterous that it is not accepted
by such person as Gods truth. That
this proposition is true, as applied to Ger.
tain class Of Spiritualists resident Of the
city of Terrc Haute, Indiana, will not be
denied, when we state that they have GER
tilted to the following "wonderful mani
festation,' as having occurred in their
presence. more sacreligious, diabolcal
piece OF business on the part Of the medium
could not have been conceived. Read the
following:
After little while, during winch the
spirit control talked as usual, the cabinet
door opened, and majestic form appeared
that filled US with awe; for there in the
door stood, in majestic grandeur, Jesus Of
Nazareth the Lord Of glory, the king OF
kings the pure and holy Christ of God A..
He had come according to promise, and
stood manifest before our eyes. He stood
looking at us silently for several moments,
and then said: "You are faith
tul soldiers, and greater wonders
than these shall you yet see"
These words he spake in low voice. yet
distinct enough for all TO hear. lie reached
his hand to Mrs. Lewis, who sat nearest the
cabinet She then took it and gave him a
boquct Of flowers. He then reached his
hand to Mrs. Dr. Gutter, who sat next TO
Mrs Lewis, then to Mrs Kline, who had
stepped on to the platform. He took her
by the hands, then laid her hands upon his
head, blessed and kissed her. He then
beckoned each one Of us to him, took us by
the hand, blessed and kissed us before re-.
firing to the cabinet. He had stood in the
door and on the platform nearly half an
hour. He had on a white robe and a crown
upon his head He left us awe-stricken
with his sacred presence This was the
masterpiece Of naturalization. Surely
these are the days forctold by John the
Revelator when he declared that Jesus
Christ should come again second tire,
with power and great glory and have not
the dead arisen throughout the land, and
angels returned, appearing unto many.

THERE are some deluded people in the

to think there is close connection between
a laugh and smile" 4 little practical
experience, however, in some of the ways Of
life, teaches them that the man who

An ASTONISHING FACT large proper

fcring from the effects Of Dyspepsia, or
disordered liver The result Of these diseases
upon the masses Of intelligent and valuable
people is more alarming making life actu-

of enjoyment and usefulness. There is no
good reason for this, if you will only throw
aside prejudice and skeptcism, take the
advice of druggists and your friends, and
try one bottle Of Green's August Flower,
your speedy relief is certain. Millions of
bottles Of this medicine have been given

A Fortunate Dream.

Ono winter evening, about fifty years
ago, II postchalsc, with II SINGLE gentle
man inside il, drove up TO the little inn
on the Pentland Firth, il the north of
Scotland, where passengers who were
going "a cross 10 the Orkucys usually
spcnt the night. The gentleman, whom
we will call Mr. MncT., was the owner Of
" large estate, and M old house which
had belonged to his family for hundreds
Of years, in the maiulahd, " chief of
the Orkney Islands, and was now about
To visit his property. II was Il buster
ing, stormy night, but that only made
moro pleasant the cigar ~ Il the glass of
whisky and the cracking wood-tirc by
which Macf. sat chatting with the land
lord, who was IN otlsiriend both of his
father and himself, and who was proud
entertaining the "young laird, rs he
called him, with his Widest tales Of adj
venture on the sea. They did not, how
ever, sit late, for the Orkney packet
sailed very early in the morning, and
Mncr. soon found himself in Ills coy,
wcll-appointod little bedroom. The
wind WAS chanting Il, grand Rcrscrker
melody, and the sea was roaring n deep
bass accompaniment. MacE. lowed those
sounds, for they often had been the lul-
laby Of his childhood, apd soon fell
asleep. For some houyslic slept with
out an image or Thought reaching his
mind; but ut length, when tho morning
was glimmering gray IN the east, u
strange dream came TO trouble him.
He dreamed that hewhs III the ancient
hanquoting-hall Of his old house, iii the
mainland, sitting Mt the head of u very
long table. The hanqusting.hall was
now il reality almost y, ruin, but i'll his
dream MacT. saw il hung With tapestry,
and blazing with il hundred LIGHTS. The
table was filled on both sRtcs, and Nc
thought ho glanced curiously down its
length to sec who his GUESTS were. As
he looked he shudt6rethin his dream.
Those who sat at the table with him
were I'LL his dead ancestors for many
generations back. He knew their faces
and dresses well from their portraits III
the picturc-gallery. Next ~ him sat
his own father, who had died about 4
year before Aud Ut tie bottom Of the

table sat u fairhaired man in dress Of
skins, who was q Morse clneftain, the
founder Of the family. 1t seemed to
him that he sat for some minutes rs If
spellbound, while the spectres muir
INJURED together III low, hollow tones.
At length they all rose, and slowly, one
by one, in turn, left the hall. But be-
fore they went, each one paused at the
door, and turning, raised his hand il a
warning attitude, fixed his eyes on
MacT., and said in Il deep voice, the
word Beware "I'he packet starts
in twenty minutes, sir" cried n loud
voice at the door, rousing MacT. sud-
denly from sleep. Confused at first,
yet soon remembering where he was,
he sprang out Of bed and began bur
riedly to dress himself. Being bad
sailor, his first glance was naturally
enough ut the sea, close to which the
inn stood. The wind had risen in the
night. The waves Numbered on the
shcre, and the little Orkney packet was
tossing up and down like limpet-shcll.
AS he gazed his strange dream rose up
with sudden distinctness before MacT. 3
mind. lie was infected with good
deal Of thorough Scotch superstition.
Besides, he did not much like the looks
Of the sea, and 50 lie resolved not to 90
till tomorrow That day the Orkney
packet was lost with every man on
board. and MacT. and his little wife,
who was left ut home with the babies,
had to thank that warning dream for
his life.

him. He will pull through. He should
not get excited; he should not worry.
lie should keep cool; and the best way
to do this, in more senses than one, is
to keep steadily al work. Work will
clear the mind and cool the body. But
it should be energetic, spirited work,
not slow, plodding drudgery. Every
stroke should be directed by the mind
and be given with q will 1t is such
work that tells. Few of us realize how
much the character Of farm work has
changed. 1t is better to run moving
machine than to swing a scythe all day,
but there are men who are not happy
unless they are engaged in some hard,
steady work. They have not patience
enough to manage machine They
are mental sluggards, They want n
machine to put itself together, to tighten
its own bolts, to be self-sharpening and
|selfoiling. Such men are born hewers
of wood and drawers of water. They
will not make successful modern farm
ers. The farmer who has his mower,
teddcr, unloading fork, self-raking and
self-binding reaper; who cuts feed, turns
the grindstonc, and pumps water by
wind or horsepower; who plants his
corn with y drill, hoes it with Il harrow,
cultivates within an inch of the rows,
cuts up the crop, and husks it with q
machine, is II very different man from
Hodge, the farmer, us he exists i'll the
mind of the novelist or poet. We be-
lieve in farmers and in farming There
is not rs much isolation on good farm
us in large city. There is no lack Of
excitement or mental stimulus. We
have not time to be dull. The seasons
are too short and the work too pressing.
We are in hurry to harvest our crop
that we may sow the next. We live in
the future; and if we aim to improve
our farms and our stock, we can yearly
see sufficient evidences Of real progress
to feed our hopes and encourage us to
continue our labors. Farming is slow
work, but we are building on u solid
foundations, and are reasonably certain
Of our reward. Let lis brace our minds
with hope and continue tho good work.
