Cured by Faith-Perhaps.

A singular belief in the exercise of
spiritual faith and power to cure physical
ailments has come to notice in Saratoga
county, N. Y. The episode happened In
West Galway, small hamlet OF 300 popu-
lat1on in the extreme western part of Sara
toga county. The inhabitants are princi-
pally farming people exceedingly igno-
rant and far removed from any city. The
region is mountainous and sterile. Four
years ago, Adele Shattuck, young lady
Is years old, became paralyzed from the
effects of nervous attack caused by hear
ing of the sudden and accidental death of a
brother to whom she was greatly attached.
She went into commissions; was in coma
tose condition for several days, and when
her mind recovered its normal condition
she could neither talk nor use her limbs
from the effects of Iaraletic stroke.
During four years this condition was un-
changed, her body gradually wasting un-
til the skin was drawn tightly over the
bones and the flesh seemed milky or
cream color. Miss Shattuck was men,
Der of the Methodistchurch. She has,
since her prostrat!on, persisted in believ-
ing that she would be restored to health,
and expressed her faith in the efficacy Of
prayer to accomplish that purpose. Three
weeks ago, after being totally helpless
during the four years, as stated, and re-
garded as incurable, the young lady
walked down stairs and informed her
wonder-strcken parents that she had
been cured in answer to prayer. Since
then her limbs have gradually become
strong and plant. Last week, ut her re-
quest, the clergy and the members of the
three churches in West Galway met at
Shattuck's and held meeting for the es.
pecial purpose of prayer for spiritual
power to enact further cure in this young
persons case, and enable her to have re-
stored the power of speech. Miss Shat
tuck soon began singing and talking.

An Astounding Discovery.
From the London Atheneum.

From the London Athen@um.
A correspondent has sent us startling
letter flom Miss M. Belham- Edwards,
from which we give an extract: ~ send
you the following particulars of recent
scientific invention, Just patented, and
destined without doubt to play very i'm
portant part in our economic historys /
think it must be regarded as a solution
for once and for all Of the great coal
question, not only among ourselves, but
abroad. M. Bourbonnel of Dion, the
celebrated lion and panther slayer, light
ed upon the following discovery by haz-
ard, and brought it to entire workable
perfection. He discovered, by means OF
two natural substances, 1nexhaustible in
nature, the means of lighting and main
tanning fire without wood or coal; a fire
instantaneously lighted and extinguished
a fire causing no dust, smoke or trou-
bile, fire costing one-tenth at most
of ordinary fuel, and, what is more won.
derful still, a fire the portion OF which
answering to our fuel is everlasting, that
is to say, would last lifetime. Mr.
Bourbonnel's invention comprehends both
stove and fuel. The fires would be Oh
the minutest scale or on the largest. They
would be used for heating baby's fooo
or for roasting an OK. Being lighted in
simultaneously they will be great econo
my OF time. Mr.. Bourbonnel at once
patented his invention, and body Of en-
gineers and savants from Paris visited
him and pronounced his discovery one O.
the most remarkable Of the age. He ha'
several offers for the purchase of the pat
ent in France, but wants to sell it in En-
gland, his own occupation being in an
other line. Any English gentleman O

could do SO by writing 10 him day o

and stoves. There is no mistake abou
the mattor. 1t is as clear as possible
that here we have perpetual and econom

ago the discoverer would surely havt

Rose Terry Cookies Experience in

shops intent on buying gown, and was
ushered. by rourteous-enough youth into
the ladies' department. Here the scene
changed-courtcsy did not rise to this
story. There were six or eight elegant,
languid creatures behind the counters,
who instinctively knew l was from the
country and not likely to be a great
purchaser. / was little frightened,

an air of mere sufercnce that at last be-
came quite lntolerable; and general
sense of my ignorance and insigniticance
IN the eyes of all this metropolitan ele-
gance at last drove me out of the shop
with vow in my heart never to trust
myself in that palace again.
But did want my gown, so in meek
and Inundated spirit I entered another
less pretentious shop, where was taken
IN charge at once, by a rosy, cheerful lit

such alacrity and devotion fetching
everything from everywhere, and "trying
