The American people fully believe in
Hostetter's Stomach. Bitters, and there is
a substantial groundwork for that belief.
They have witnessed and experienced its

been brought home to their own hearths
that it is a family medicine which is of
the utmost value in cases OF malaria, dys-
pcpsia, debility, disordered conditions of
the liver aud bowels, and in a variety OF
other maladies. They have found it a

Testimony of the Monuments.

The various schools of Biblical criti-
clsIn, both In Great Britain and upon the
Continent, are at present at variance with
the discoveries of archaeology in Oriental
and Biblical lands The Pentateuch is
especially the object of variance. The
destructive criticism of those schools, has
assumed to take away all the landmarks
by which we could assign these books to
the age of Moses Egyptian scholars,
however, have replaced them as fast as
they have been taken away. The latest
works, such. as that Of Brugsch Lepsius
Mariette, consider the Pentateuch as of
prime rhetorical Importance. Reginald
Stanley Poole has published a number of
interesting articles in the Contemporary
Rey'et0, on Ancient Egypt, in which he
undertakes to answer o the question,
What do the Monuments tell US of Jo-
seph and Moses, of the settlement in
Egypt, and the sojourn in the Exodus?"
The result is a general agreement as to
the date of the Exodus. The general
opinion has been that it occurred about
l49l B. G.. Leipsius theory places the
event towards the close of the fourteenth
century. Secondly, the date of Joseph.
This event would fall before the eigh-
teenth Dynasty, in the latter part of the
Shepherd Dominion, before 100 B. c.,
the subsequent oppression would have
been consequence of the expulsion of
the Shepherds. 1t is precisely in the lat
ter part of the Shepherd Dominion that
DR.. Brugsch finds the record of famine
of many years duration. The story of
Joseph is illustrated, step by step, from
the Egyptian texts. The tale of the Two
Brothers, an Egyptian fiction, has for its
turning point an incident identical with
the trial Of Joseph Pharaohs dream of
kline describes the years of plenty and
famine under the usual type Of the inun-
dation. The installation of Joseph has
its parallel ia the case Of an Egyptian
governor of the age of the eighteenth
Dynasty, who received exactly the same
office, Lord of all Egypt" The express
sion, by the life of Pharaoh, and the
custom of bowling upon the staff, are
traced by M. Chabas, as usual, in the iu-
dicial proceedings, and similar to the or
binary oath when the witness bowed on
the magistrates staff Of office. The de-
scriptions of Egyptian life and customs,
so confirmatory Of Scripture record, are
very interesting at this time. 1t is GER
tainly improbable that writers would so
infinitely describe the circumstances SO
true to life, unless they were living at the
time, and were eye-witnesses of the facts

Rest and Repair.

There is food for thought" in the fol-
lowing extract from the London Lancet .
1t may be safely assumed that those
have been mistaken who suppose that
physiological rest consists in inaction,
and thatrepair goes on during quiescence.
Nutrition-and therefore repair-is the
concomitant Of exercise. Appetite is one
thing, the power to digest food another.
A man may feel ravenous, and consume
large quantities of material containing
the elements Of nutrition, but be unable
to appropriate the supply furnished, or,
in other words, to nourish himself. It is
so with rest. Mere inaction may be Sc
cured without rest, and idleness without
the restoration Of energy. The faculty
OF recovery and recuperation after exer-
else IS in direct proportion to the vitality
of the organ rested. This faculty is not
to be called into action by inactivity It
follows that relief and recovery from the
effects Of what is improperly called "over-
work cannot be obtained by simply go
ing away for change or by indulgence
in idleness. A new form of exercise is
necessary, and the mode of action chosen
must be one that supplies moderate ex-
ercise to the part Of the system which it
is required to "rest and restore .
Health-seekers often err in trying to re-
cover their powers by simple diversion Of
energy. 1t is popular error to suppose
that when the brain Is over-worked the

The Elephant MYTH.

The elephant Of our childhood no
longer exists. Mr. Sanderson, who has

lntehdent of Elephants to the Govern
ment OF India, and who stands in the

Joseph Fayrer occupies towards tigers
and venomous snakes, in lecture re-
Gently delivered to the United Service
Institution at Simla, roundly calls the
elephant positively idiotic in it's at
tempts at escape when captured" and
talks of "its want of originality and its
positive stupidity in many things" In
short, Sin the faculty of reasoning it is
far below the dog and other animals. -
Nor will Mr.. Sanderson allow the esti-
mates of its great height. Out of many
hundreds he has measured in South
ern India and Bengal, he has not found
one reaching ten feet at the shoulder.
Yet one disillusion more. The elephant
hunters in both Ceylon and India cor
roborate Sindbad's story that elephants,
when they feel the approach Of death,
retire to a solitary and inaccessible val
ley and there die in peace. But Mr..
Sanderson, though he admits that no
living man has come across the corpse of
a wild elephant that has died a natural
death, attributes this rather to their ex-
IRENE longevity, which he is disposed to
place as high as two hundred years.

American Wheat in Russia

Russian journalists appear, says the
London Telegraph, to be Just now pain
fully exercised by the announcement that
two American steamers laden with grain.
have entered the port of Revel for the
purpose of discharging their cargoes. a
circumstance hitherto without precedent
IN the annals of Russian commerce. That
Russia would never need to import &C.
reals from foreign countries. has hereto
fore been a firmly established article of
popular faith throughout the Cars do
minions. So rapid, however, has of late
years been the falling off in productive
ness exhibited in the agricultural dis
trlcts OF the empire, that the seemingly
impossible has at length come to pass,
and Northern Russia is importing wheat
from the United States 1t is but Justice
to the Russian press to acknowledge that
1T has been profuse Of warnings with re-
spect to the probable consequences of
slovenly and unintelligent farming, per-
sistence in old-fashioned and exploded
systems of cultivation, reluctance to in
vest capital in modern agricultural i'm
provements, absenteeism, and other laches
which have practically disqualified Rus
sian graln-growers from competing for
foreign custom with their transatlantic
rivals. But Russian buyers and peasant
farmers alike were so immutabfy pos
sessed by the conviction that Russia was
the predestined granary of Europe, that
they calmly Ignored these salutary mont
tons. They are now stricken with
amazement and CONSERVATION by proof
positive, such as is afforded by the i'm
portation of American grain into Revel,
that the cereal yields of Northern and
Central Russia no longer suffice to meet
the consumptive requirements of the ma
tive population. Germany, too, is giving
to America the preference over Russia
for what grain she finds it necessary to
import from abroad, on the reasonable
grounds that the American wheat is at
once cheaper and of better quality than
the Russian. On the whole, Russian ag-
riculture is Just now at an extremely low
ebb, and its future promises to prove even
gloomier than its present

The Gain of SUNDAY Rest.

OF course, l do not mean that man
will not produce more in a week by work
ing seven days than by working six days.
But very much doubt whether, at the
end of the year, he will generally have
produced more by working seven days a
week, than by working six days week
and [ firmly believe that at the end Of
twenty years he will have produced less
by working seven days a week than by
working six days a week. The natural
difference between Campania and Spitz-
bergen is trihing, when compared with
the difference between a country inhabi-
ted by men full of bodily and mental
vigor, and a country inhabited by men
full Of bodily and mental vigor, and a
country inhabited by men sunk in bodily
and mental decrepitude. Therefore it is
that we are not poorer, but richer, be-
cause we have through many ages rested
from our labor one day in seven. That
day is not lost. While industry is sus-
pended, while the plough lies in the fur
row, while the exchange is silent, while
no smoke ascends from the factory, a pro-
cess s.going on quite as important to the
wealth OF the nation as any process which
is performed on more busy DAYS. Man.
the machine of machines the machine
compared with which all the contrivances
of the Watts and Arkwrights are worth
less,-is repairing and winding up, 50
that he returns to his labors on the Mon
day with clearer intellect, with livelier
spirits, with renewed corporal vigor.

Whatever may be the advance made
by the Roman Catholic Church in the
English provinces, it would appear from
recent events that instead of progressing
she is gradually, but perceptibly retro
grading In the metropolis. The Polish
chapel situated at Hatton Wall, and
which was opened about eighteen
months ago with great pomp and cere-
mony by Cardinal Manning, has lust
been closed for want of support, and
falling off in the numbers of the congre-
cation, the priest who had been placed
IN charge Of the mission having returned
to Austrian Poland This, taken in
connection with the abandonment OF the
mission" stations of St. Bridget, Bald
wins Gardens, and the closing of the
chapel of the Holy Family at Saffron
Hill, two populous neighborhoods colo
nlzed by large numbers of Irish, shows
a significant diminution not only in the
list of chapels, schools, and missions"
in London, but large leakage Of the

belief: A very successful church and
school have been opened close to the
Italian church in Clerkenwell by the

and is attended by large numbers of

A WELSH MIRAcLE-Wales M

A WELSH MIRAcLE.-Wales, not to
be outdone by Ireland, is ENJOYING a
miracle Of its own in the form Of appari-
tons at Llanthony Abbey, the retreat of
the famous Father Ignatius, the Father
himself being the principal witness of
the transaction. He declares that on
August Both, during the celebration of
the Sacrament, the silver vessel in which
the Host is held at benediction was dis
tinctly visible through the thick doors of
the tabernacle. a sister afterwards wit
messed the same phenomena, and in the
evening Of the same day four BOYS saw
the figure Of the Virgin Mary. The
figure was dressed in white alb, only the
sleeves were wider than alb sleeves The
hands were both raised, and from head
to foot a dazzling white light, oval shape.
was shining round the body. The
figure glided towards an adjacent hedge
and vanished but the bush continued IN
a dazzling light for some minutee after
It's disappearance" In concluding his
narrative Father Ignatius saws. "These
are extraordinary, absolute facts. They

TEMPTED BY DEaREEs.-Satan seldom
comes to Christians with great tempta-
tions, or with temptation to commit a
great sin. You bring green log and a
candle together, and they are very safe
neighbors; but bring few shavings and
set them alight, then bring few small
sticks, and let them take fire, and let the
log be in the midst Of them, and YOU will
soon get rid Of your log. And 50 it ;s
with little sins You will be startled
with the idea Of committing a great sin,
and 50 the devil brings you little temp.
tation, and leaves you to indulge yourself
" There is no harm in this" no great
peril in that and so, by these little
chips we are first easily lighted up, and
at last the green log is burned. Watch
and pray that ye enter not into tempta-
ton. John Mention.

Nothing can better illustrate the great
activity in the general business Of the
country than the immensely increased
traffic on the lines of the telegraph. In
1870 the Western Union Telegraph Com.
pany sent 9 ,157646 messages. In 1880
the number reported by President Green
at the annual meeting, Oct. 18th, as hav.
ing been transmitted during the year end
ing June 30, was % ,215,5 500, an increase
Of 4 las, 403 over the previous year, and
23,336, 227 more than in 1867 and this
too, in the face Of competition by new
rival company. 1t is worthy Of note that
with this vast increase Of message service
the business has been popularized by the
reduction Of the tariff Of rates as compared
with 1868 Of 65 per cent, the average
toll per message being for the whole
country about SO cents per message.

Dear Mr.. Editor,-I see in our paper that
you would like to have little children write you
some letters, and l hope you will not object to
hearing from me. Our family consists of moth
er, father, and six children. We attend Sabbath
School, father teaches my class, mother has
charge of class of smaller children, she is also
the organist. We enjoy the exercises very
much. We have very fine preacher, but only
have services once month. We receive the
CENTRAL once a week and it is a welcome visi-
tor. We like the children's column very much
but cant you give more than two columns of your
eight pages to the little ones of the flock this is
the way to get us interested, and you know we
are to be your readers bye and bye
Your Little Friehd, BELLE A.
Dear Little BeUe,-You see we have to pub
hsh several columns of Church news (from all
the Churches) and then some two columns of Sc
cular news-home and foreign. Then we have
to publish some four or five or six columns of
communications and they get mad if we don't
publish them. Then we sometimes have ser
mon. Then we have to set aside two columns
for the farmers. Then we have what we call
Correspondence. And then the editor has to
speak. We sometimes think he talks too much
what do you think of it? But, you know, he
has to keep everybody straight Then we have
to put in the markets and number of adver-
tisements. The advertisements are not interest
ing to you but they are to us, as without them
we could not publish the paper at all We were
glad to get your letter. You will find in this
paper an answer from little girl in Richmond
to right hard puzzle. We are going to make
the paper bigger after while and we shall
have more room for the little boys and girls
