...r t.. ULBANA, w., req. I9, 1871.
Mr.. H. R STEVENS. Boston. Mass.-Dear Sir:
feel greatly indebted to your excellent medicine,
Vegetine. for what it has done for me. have
been subject to rheumatism all my life. Was at
tackled with it three years ago, and suffering ter
rble pains in my chest, back and limbs for six or
eight months, at which time commenced using
Vegetine on the advice of friend, who had been
entirely cured by it I bad scarcely used half
bottle until the pain had left me. and my general
health had begun to improve rapidly under the
influence of this great blood purifier. had suf-
fered dreadfully from nasal catarrh for seven or
e ght years. After taking the first bottle Of Vege-
tine noticed great change for the better. The
constant pain and heaviness that had over my
eyes for years disappeared, and the discharge Of
mucus from the head ceased. My appetite got
better, and strength seemed to coWs W tn every
dose Of medicine. Too much can not be said In
Its favor; and always take pleasure in recon-
mending 1t to my friends who may be suffering
from any disease of the blood, for feel satisfied
If they try 1t they are sure of q cure.
am, very respectfully, yours

Electricity.

.
Thales of Miletus thought that the
magnet was endowed with sort of i'm
material spirit, and to possess species
Of animation. The Greeks knew also that
rubbed amber attracted bits of straw,
and supposed it to be endowed with life.
Even Boyle, as late as 1875, imagined it
to emit sort of glutinous efluvium
which laid hold of small bodies and
pulled them toward the excited body.
Du Fay, in 1888, conceived the double
fluid theory. Cavendish, in 1771, sup
piled some Of the deficiencies of Frank
Inns theory, but it was Faraday who first
exploded the fluid and originated the
molecular theory of electricity, while
Grove boldly classed electricity with
light and heat as correlated forces and
mere modes Of motion. Light was
thought by the Piatonists to be the con-
sequence of something emitted from the
eye meeting with certain emanations
from the surface of things, but no theory
of light properly, so-called was attempted
until Newton produced his celebrated
corpuscular theory in 1910, which has
lasted until the present day. Even as
late as 1916 Faraday himself said: "The
conclusion that is now generally received
appears to be, that light consists Of min
| ute atoms Of matter of an octahedral
form, possessing polarity, and varying in
size or in velocity" Although Huyg-
hens in Newton's own time conceived
the undulatory theory, the superior
authority of the great English philoso-
pher evershadowed the lesser light, and
it was not until Young and Fresnel, at
the commencement of this century, took
the matter up, that the present theory Of
light took firm root. Thus we see all these
sciences have passed through the same
stages Of mystery and fancy, and it is
only within the present generation that
| they have emerged from the mythical to
the natural, from mere hypothesis to true
theory. Hypothesis is an imaginary ex-
planation of the cause of certain pheno-
mena which remains to be shown prob
ableor to be proved true. Theory is this
lsupposition when it has been shown to be
highly probable, and all known facts are
| in agreement with its truth.

CRUEL LANDLORDS IN IRELAND.
a The Tribune correspondent travelling in
ireland gives q pathetic description OF the
eviction of famishing families by the ex-
acting landlords in the midst OF the gen.
eral distress prevalent in Europe.
1t appears that hundreds OF poor people,
some OF them young and some very old,
have been turned out into the killing
weather, without clothing and food, be-
cause they could mot pay the whole rent.
One half or even nine-tenths of the pay
mepts demanded could not save them. The
last farthing was insisted upon, Lord Cor
nonston is mentioned as one OF the exact.
ing landlords.

SAN Francisco, March 23.-As antici-
pated in these dispatches the Supreme
Court has decided that the law passed by
the Kearney Legislature, prohibiting the
employment of Chinese by corporations
was unconstitutional, opposed to public
policy and In violation of the United States
authority. The decision was given in the
case of Tibercio Parratt who caused his
own arrest and carried the matter to the
Supreme Court in order to test the consti-
tn tionality of the law. The Sand Lotters
are indignant over the result and threaten
to ensure the political death of the Judges

Clothing.

There is in Philadelphia
a clearinghouse that began
a good many years ago to
do a peculiar business. 1t
marked goods in plain hg-
ures, and described them in
plain letters its prices were
absolute, its descriptions
were true. People had full
knowledge of what they
were buying there, and yet
if afterward they were sorry
they had bought, they could
go back the next day and
exchange for something else,
or, if they liked, get their
money back. 1t was a safe
place to get clothes ; it was
a safe place to leave money.
People liked that house
1t grew, and grew, and
grew, until it became a
great house. To-day it is
the largest clearinghouse
anywhere and it keeps up
the old practices: no secrets
about what its clothes are
made of, one price, and
the money back if the buy
er wants it. OF course, it
uses all grades of cloths
that are worth using, and
makes all grades of cloth
ing that are worth making;
for it serves all sorts of Peo-
pie.
Those at all familiar with
Philadelphia already know
that we are speaking of
OAK HALL, the original of
the WANAMAKER STORES.
There has been great i'm
provement in ready-made
clothing in nineteen years {;
and OAK Hall has taken
the lead equally in econ
omy, reliability, and rapid
ity of production in the
quality of finished work F;
and in the development of
a method of business hav-
ing for its first object the
satisfaction of customers.
1t is worth your while to
know that you, whoever and
wherever you are, can get
your clothing to better ad-
vantage there than any
where else. If too far
away to go, write. You
will receive in reply samples
of cloths, and prices of
ready-made suits from them,
with a diagram and instruC-
tions for measuring. The
rest is plain.
