If five months experience of DR.. Bis
sel's does not "wholly" diSprove the
scientific idea that those lights are
caused by electricity, I do not know
what it does prove.
If those aural lights have no connec-
| ton with the interior world, how strange
that they should appear 1t the pole, the
natural center Of extreme cold, where
the least possible amount of solar in
| fluence can be extended, and the only
portion OF our globe where can possibly y
be found accessible ape rtures that would
connect the two surfaces, and how sim
gular that such lights should exhibit
themselves in their greatest glory in the
absence OF the sun, and We hesitate not
to say that an exploration of the grand
interior world, where this kind of light
universally prevails, would give lucid
explanation OF the whole subject of au-
raj phenomena. The aural polar lights
are to great extent generated by pow
ers and elements that exist in and ema-
nate from the interior world.
We hesitate not to assert if there was
no such beautiful unfolled inner world
connected with the polar regions, there
would be no such grand illuminatians
thrown out in the north to awaken the
sublimest emotions In the mind of every
beholder.
Reason, common sense, and all the
anslogies of the natural universe con-
spire to support and establish the
Symmes theory on this subject, and we
hesitate not to say that.it is the most nat
ural and harmonious view OF this sub
ieet that has ever been presented for the
consideration Of the human mind.

former patient of mine who suffered Sc
verely from several chronic ailments, re-
sulting from weak pulmonary, digestive
and urinary organs, and whom | was
unable to benefit with my most careful
treatment, determined to prescribe it.
L have done so, and the results have in
variably been most satisfactory. Un-
der its use the blood becomes richer, the
digestive, urinary and pulmonary or
gans are made strong and perform their
natural functions readily and without
pain; all decay seems to be immedi-
ately checked and the progress of the
disease arrested the pulse becomes full

cheeks rosy, the temperature increased

heart regular, and the muscular strength
greatly invigorated. In justice to the

Local Papers.

A large proportion OF the people do
nothing TO support their local papers,
yet reap the benefit every day OF the
editors work 4 man will say, "Ad-
vertising does not pay i business;
have to keep men on the road, and get
my customers by going after them"
And vet the fact is that the town in
which he does business would be un-
known, the railroad over which he ships
his goods would be unbuilt, and he HIM
self would be unheard NJ, if it were not
for the ne Espaper, which he says does
him no good.
The local paper is of advantage to
every man in the community, and when
a man refuses to contribute to the sup
port of the paper on The ground that it
"does him 10 good" he might just az
we'll refuse 10 pay his taxes for the sup
port of the courts and the police force,
on the ground that he never breaks the
law and does not need any officers.
There are men who believe themselves
to be honest and pious, who are doing
business in every community, and every
day approprlatiDg to their own use the
fruits of other mems labor by reaping
the benefit of the newspaper without
contributing a cent to Its support, and
yet they would be terribly shocked il
they should be charged with stealing
wood from their neighbors. But the
principle is just the same, the only diff
ference being that in one case the law
can reach them, and in the other 1t can
not; but morally, it is just as dishonest
to steal the fruits of your neighbours en-
terprise as to steal his fuel or chickens.
FOO much credit cannot be given the
weekly paper for the work it has done
and is still doing for the benefit of this
country

A Husbands Love.

1t is easy enough to win husband.
Most any attractive little dumping
with a brightey and ceaxing voice can
gather in noble husband, but it is
pretty difficult to retain him. Noble
husbands are thicker than hair on q
dog, but the grand difficulty is to draw
out their true nobility and secure it at
home. If the wife only understands
her business she can introduce the
soothing racket in her new field of OPP
erations and walk away with the whole
business. Most men like to be loved and
soothed. There is something in the
mans great rough earnest nature that
can be won quicker and easier with gen.
tleness and pie than by the logic of the
broom handle and a bilious course OF
reasoning, with bread and milk diet.
We have seen a girl who understood
her business take reformed road agent
by the nose, so 10 speak, and lead him
through life in such a way that he
wouldn't know but he was boss of the
ranch. So perfect was the delusion
that when she asked him to bring in a
scuttle of coal, OF get up in his night
shirt and kill burglar that he knew
was nothing but a bobtailed COW four
blocks away, he always went, and he
felt as though he counted it mark OF
special favor that a poor unworthy worm
OF the dust, like him, should be sought
out and delegated to go and chase a lame
COW across nine vacant lots With an old
barrel stave and clothed in nothing but
a little brief authority and knit un-
dershirt. We cannot exactly describe
this magic power of devoted wife over
her husband, and we do not intend to
try it. 1t is an unseen motive, name
less leverage that makes the husband
get up in the dead hour of the night and
set the pancake batter near the parlor
stove. A man need not think that be-
cause he gets up and looks for burglars
in the night and is otherwise obedient
that it is because he has no back bone /; it
is simply because he is the husband of
n woman of whom he ought to be proud

The Place 70 Go,

sters were discussing where would be
the best place to steal water-melons.

man don't show any enterprise you
may be sure there is five or six holes in
his fence he's too stingy to keep dog
and it's two to one his shotgun hasn't
been loaded for over a year"
The boys thought the idea an ex-

to discover that the man had been toe
slow TO plant any melons and there
wasn't thing in the whole lot except
a clump Of sage brush and few mullen
stslks.-[ Carson, New, Appeal.
