RELIGION AND DIET.
Some interesting Experiments by Professor

eminent scientific persons that the va

ing are the direct results of different
kinds Of food. There have hitherto
been inSeparable difficulties in the
way of demonstrating the truth of
this theory, but that mans religion
depends upon the kind of food he
uses, and is modified to some extent
by the climate III which he lives, near
ly all advanced thinkers are convinced.
1t Is pleasant TO be able TO announce
that at last all possibility of doubt on
this subject has been removed by a
series of successful experiments mar:
rated ~ Professor Huxley in hls con-
templated book on Vegetable and Al
coholic Religions" Some time ago
Professor Huxley was so fortunate as to
obtain possession of large litter OF
young children, the property of "a Pos
itivist, who desired to devote his
whole time to the study Of gin, and
who held that, inasmuch as there is
no hereafter it was not worth while
for him u trouble himself about his
children The latter, who were to
great extent twins, aud were all un-
der eight years OF age, were perfectly
FREE FROM ALL RELIGIOUS PREJUpIcEs,
And although the oldest swore with
much aucncy, he had no thought of
the possibility Of tue existence of a
God. Placing them ia strict coniine-
ment, where no human being but him
self and deaf and-dumb nurse could
obtain access 10 them, Professor
Huxley began a'srrics OF experiments
with their food, which produced the
most satisfactory and valuable results
The oldest child was fed exclusively
uponsSwiss cheese, aud was allowed
10 drink weak brandy and water. He
was kept in room where the temper
aturc was a little above the freezing
point and WAS constantly exercised
in climbing artificial precipices made
OF trunks and bookcases. Like the
rest Of the children, he was taught to
read and write, but received no other
instruction At the end OF three
months Professor Huxley was delight
cd to fad him making preparations
for bou!ire, in which hc prop 'Sed TO
burn his nurse, on the ground that
she did not believe certain doctrines
which he believed. 4 month later the
boy constructed a rude pulpit, in
which he constantly preached ser
nous dcnouncing flies and gnats, who
were his only hearers, for their fond
ness for sunshine. Before the end of
the first year he had formulated
creed which Professor Huxley found
to bear a very close resemblance to
that Of John Calvin. 1t thus becomes
clear that

Ahother Death sentence.

Dispatches from Harrisburg announce
that Governor Hartpuit Friday issued the
death warrant of Dennis DJnnely, fixing
April Is as the day of the execution. This
action ON the part Of the Executive is rather
unaccountab!c from the fac. that writ Of
error was taken out on January 20 last, re-
moving the ease to the Supreme Court,
where an argument will be had on the 18th
of march, the case being at the head of the
Schuykill county list The case beiur still
pending, it is rather surprising that day
should be fixed for the execution of the SEN
tence of the Court below. The paper book
is now being prepared, the evidence being
printed in Philadelphia at the expense OF
the Reading Railroad Company, and the
points, history of the case and arguments in
a Pottsyille printing establishments If
after argument the Supreme Judges shFtld
take half as much time tD deliberate over
Donnelly's case as they did in Kehoes case
the day fixed for the hanging of DJuuelly
will have come and passed, and unless the
Governor reconsders his action DJuuclly
will be dead before his ease is discussed.

The Coal Trade.
RIDPATu.

AS VIC said last week, there is no probabil-
ity of any activity III the anthracite coal
Il ade before the first of April next. One
purpose of the parties to the coal combna-
tic II is to reduce the surplus stock of coal on
the market, TO allow of Il full and continued
supply Of coal fresh mined to the end of the
seas on. To this end the several coal regions
are crying how little they can do in the
way Of production, and tonnage all around
is he lrly at a standstil. OF the little report
cd las. week by the Reading Railroad Cont
pany nearly or quite all was anthracite front
the lie high and Wyoming coal regions and
bitumi nous coal from west of Harrisburg.
Not Il ton was sent to Port Richmond dur
ing the week, but the shipments of old stock
thence reached 23,jO0 tons and was princi-
pally carried by the company's steam col
liers. On the 27th inst, shipments of coal
from, the mines will be commenced in mode
rate amounts in the Schuylkill region. The
stock Of coal on hand, however, will be
closely wal ched, and the supply not be al
lowed to run ahead of the current demand.
Although last week was what is known in
the trade as working week by the Lehigh
Valley Rail- Dad, very little coal was brought
TO tide at An. boy, and of the amount reach
ing that poinC Il considerable portion of it
remains in the cars for want of shipping
orders. 1t is so much more satisfactory to
unload directly into vessels than to dump
the coal and load from the wharves that the
loaded cars are permitted to stand upon the
tracks and sidings. The Lehigh Navigation
Company stopped work at all their colieries
but one last week, and except at that one
work will be suspended for the remainder
Of the month. The only encouraging feature
Of the trade at this, the gloomist part of the
years business, is the strengthened assurance
that the conditions Of the combination will
bs adhered to. This is the season of the
year when the coal trade is dullest and the
particular time when cash income is small
est. 1t is true the expenditures are cores
pOndingly lessened, but it universally results
in more or less of financial inconvenience,
and the present is no exception to the rule
though there is no reason to doubt that all
the parties in interest will pass safely
through to the time for active business. The
report made current last week, on the
strength OF newspaper paragraph that the
Reading Railroad Company had borrowed
in London million of dollars at 90 cents on
the dollar, is incorrect, no such loan having
been made, all the temporary loans required
by the company having been secured at
per cent from capitalists in our own market.

Dentil in His FaYorite Robe.

The mortuary statistics of the whole civil
lied world show that about one-fifth of all
mankind die of consumption alone, and the
number of deaths due to consumption bears
q greater ratio to the whole number
than that of any other three diseases to-
gether. Moreover, investigation proves that
this ratio is steadily increasing. Its increas-
ing prevalence has led to the popular belief
that consumption is incurahle. Every year
hundreds of these sufferers seek, in the sun
ny retreats of Florida or the dry atmosphere
of Colorado, for health--and find only d
grave. The influence of the atmosphere
the only remedial agent that either Florida
or Colorado can afford the consumptiSe-is
at best only palliative. The cure Of con-
sumption depends upon two essential condi-
tons lst the arrest Of the abnormal break
ing down of the tissues, which prevents
emaciation, and "a. the restoration of
healthy nutrition; in order to stop the for
nation of tuberculous matter. Fulfill these
conditions, and consumption Is as durable
as fever. To fulfill these conditions the re-
quired remedy must increase the appetite,
favor the assimilation of food, and enrich
the blood, thus retarClitig the development
of tubercles. To accomplish this, a more
powerful Alternative than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery has never been discover
ed. At the same time, it soothes the irrita-
tion of the nervous system produced by vio-
lent coughing, which in its turn so often
leads to more serious results. The use of
"expectorants" in consumption is absolutely
suicidal. For while removing the tubercles
already formed, they produce yet more seri-
Gus results by inflaming and destroying the
sound and healthy tissttes. Consumption
requires a remedy that will soothe while it
relieves harsh medicines, but add fuel to
the flame that already threatens to consume
the system. The Golden Medical Discovery
fufills these conditions, and has been pro-
nounced the best remedy yet discovered 10
