Epidemic CONCLUSIONS.

Extraordinary interest was excited
In the popular mind of Kentucky AT
an early day by a form of convulslve
disease, which, though 1t had been
witnessed elsewhere In the world, had
never before assumed a shape so decld-
| edly epidemic. Among the Camisaros
or French prophets, who appeared In
the mountains of the Cevennes toward
the close Of the seventeenth century,
the subjects, when about TO receive
the gifI of prophecy, were often affect
ed with trembling and fell down IN
swoons. When the fit came, no mat
ter where they were, they fell smiling
their breasts with their hands, crying
for mercy, and mprecsting curses on
the Pope. They were finally, after an
obstinate struggle, put down by theii
insane prosecutor, Louis XIV.
Epidemic convulsions prevailed In
| Scotlt nd hslf.a century later. Multi
tudes, under pungent preaching, were
violently sgitated, uttering loud cries
shaking, trembling. bleeding at the
nose, the minister promoting the up
roar by urging hem not to stifie theii
convictions. The shrek or the shout
it is stated, never rose from one but
that others Joined in the outcry. The
perly career Of John Wesley is well
known 10 have been marked by SINH
lar disorders. In bis journal he records
numerous instances OF men and
women dropping to the ground under
| his preaching ''as if struck by light
ning,n ten or a dozen praying at once
| They had also prevailed extensively
in New Zealand half a century before
| they became epidemic in Kentucky
The elder Edwards has left an instruc-
tive account Of thu bodily agitations
which accompanied the revivaIs OF
RELIGION from 1875 to 1742. Many in
stances are given of fainting, falling,
trance, numbness, outcries and CON
vulsious, and be relates that some OF
the subjects lost their reason. The
endemic of Kentucky spread more
widely, and persisted for a longer time
as we'll as in more extravagant forms.
1t continued to relppear for several
yeas, and involved a district OF coun.
try extending from Ohio to the noun
tains of Tennessee, and even into the
old settlements in the Carolinas.
Lorenze Dow relates that, at q relig-
ious meeting in the Court House Of
Knoxville, when the Governoro Of Ten
nessee was present, he saw n hun
bred and fifty people jerking at one
time. But at ether places the frenzy
reached q greater height. 1t was com
puteu that at q religious meeting In
Kentu by not less than three thousand
persons fell in commissions to the
ground.

Mirage.


Professor TAFT describes three forms
of mirage. The first and most common
Is that seen in the desert, where the
sunlight is reflected from the heated
layer OF air resting upon the sand TO
the eye of the observer, and gives rise
to theimpression of a rejecting surface
of water at the point in the desert from
which the rays are projected. A sec
ond form Ia that observed in the arctic
regions, of which many beautiful
illustrations have been given by
Scorsby. The principal phenomenon
is what Is called ''looming"-distant
objects showing an extravagant in
crease of vertical height without alter
alton In breadth. Distant hummocks
OF ice are thus magnified into immense
towers and pinnacles, and a ship is
sometimes abnormally drawn out un
til 1t appears twelve or thirteen times
as high as 1t Is long. The celebrated
Jatd morgano of the Straits of Messina
10 " shh@ Ohoa AhtCk5 hIt seen
drawn up to ten or twelve times their
proper height; and houses, as well as
human beings and animals, appear In
like exaggerated shape. The most re-
markable instance OF this kind o.
mirage was observed in 1893, when
from Hastings a portion Of the French
coast forty or fifty miles away was
seen as plainly as though but a few
miles distant, although ordinarily
hidden by the earth's eonvexity. The
third and perhaps most extraordinary
form of mirage is that observed by
Nince in 1909, in which ship at ses
showed three di,tinct images a lowe
and an upper one in an upright posi-
ton, and an immediate one on which
the object stood inverted.

DRUGGISTS PREsCRIPTIoNs
How the Liquor Laws Affect the Dispens-
ers of Medicine.

| ers or Medicine.
Since the Pond and Smith laws have
gone into effect throughout the State,
there has been much question among
interested parties about the rights and
| privileges of druggists in handling and
d1spOsing of spirltuOus liquors, and
many held to the idea that the law was
| discriminating in favor of apOthecaries,
and that they could vend their alcoholic
preparations and beverages right along
| without hindrance of the law.
We append a statement from R. d.
Noble, Esq, Deputy Collector of Intern
al Revenue, dated Cleveland, May 5th,
druggists under the Internal Revenue
laws:
APOTHECARIES PUTTING UP PRESCRIPTIONS.
"The last clause of section 3246, Re-
Vised Statutes (Of the United States) as
amended by section ), of the Act of Mar.
1, 1879, reads as follows: Nor shall any
special tax be imposed upon apOtheca-
ries as to wines or spirituOus liquors
which they use exclusively in the prepa-
ration or making up of medicines I'm
der this clause the Hon. Green b. Raum,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, rem
dered decision, of date April 21, 1879,
embracing (amOng other things) the fol-
lowing: But the exemption relates on
ly to medicinal preparations, and an
apOthecary, therefore, is not exempt
from the liquor dealers special tax if
he sells unmiXed distilled spirits Qn-
cluding pure alcOhOD or wines, though
he may sell them strictly as medicines,
and even upon a physicians prescrip-
tiOn. Many apOthecaries, nearly all per-
haps, are consequently compelled to
hold special tax stamps as retail dealers
in liquors, to comply with the terms of
the law, and at the same time meet the
demands of their customers for pure
liquors for medicinal purposes This
decision is authority as to all persons
affected by the United States laws; and
will be found valuable to the county
authorities who are dischaTging duties
under the Pond Law $50 called) of the
State of Ohio
1t will be seen that a druggist is not
exempt from the liquor dealers special
tax if he sells unmiXed spirits, includ-
ing alcohol, even if he so sells upon a
physicians prescription, consequently
it will be incumbent upon all, or nearly
all, druggists, to hold special tax stamps
as retail dealers in liquors, to comply
with the terms of the law, and at the
same time meet the demands of their
patrons for pure liquors for medicinal
purposes.

A Fine Tombstone.

Mr.. II. G. Brown took a Photographic
view, on Tuesday, of a tombstone de-
signed for the grave of Laurtes Edwin
Weaver, of COlumbiana county. The
tombstone was furnished from P,
Haubert's Marble Works, on the corner
of Fifth and TuseaTawas streets, where
it was awaiting shipment. A singular
thing about the selection of this tomb
stone by the deceased, Mr.. Weaver, was,
through the cemetery at Columbiana,
he noticed a particular kind of Italian
blue marble monument, and Immediate
ly said, when 1 die that is the kind of
monument that want over me-" The
stone that now designates his Ii st rest
ing place is made of the same material,
and is very handsome testimonial.

Wooden Wedding Celebration.

The fifth anniversary of the marriage
of Mr.. and Mrs. Morris G. RupeTd, of
Plain township, was celebrated at their
residence one and half miles north of
the city, on Thursday evening, May 4th.
About sixty-hye of their friends, many
from the city, came in upon them rather
unceremOniOusly about seven o'clock,
and found the genial host and his bon
ME little wife in the midst of family
game of euchre. The surprise was a
most pleasant and complete one, both
Mr.. and Mrs. Ruperd being in blissful
ignorance of the intentions of their
friends. AS the guests came flOcking
in, however, the fair hostess recovered
her cOmpOsure, and receivsd her friends
in very elegant manner. A first-class
dancing floor was soon cleared and the
young people of the company indulged
in the light fantastic, while the old
folks chatted pleasantly in the parlOr.
At IL o'clock most elegant supper was
served, which did credit to the hostess
and the ladies who controlled it. Many
very fine presents were received, which
showed plainly in what high estimation
they are held in the community. The
matrimonial knot was not retied as, af-
ter considering the happy, pleasant faces
of the bride and groom, the young peO-
pie concluded Rev. Lounsbery had tied
it tight enough to hold, five years ago.
The company repaired to their homes
about 1.30, each one feeling happier for
having been there and wishing Mr..
Ruperd and his most estimable wife

MoERLIN's EXPORT LAGER.
Bottled by the National Beer BOttllng
Company, Cincinnati, Ohio.

Bottled by the National Beer BottlIng
Company, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Everywhere we have an opportunity
TO observe the immense progress which
lager beer, already in many places an
indispensable aliment of the people, mas
made. Here 1T has proved itself pow
erful competitor of wine, while there,
TO the welfare OF mankind, it drives the
use OF debilitating whisky aside in its
overwhelming sway of progress. The
increase OF Its consumption and the
consequent increased demand for the
very best of beer must necessarily bring
on total change in the brewing pro-
cess. Beer brewing is not merely as it
was years ago, a trade. 1t has become
In every respect a powerful industry.
What difference between the first mod
est beginning of brewing and the i'm
mense extension of it at the present
time! But we will not here dwell in
the past, but look around and see what
beverage our brewers do give us.
There is ahead of all Cincinnati, where
the brewing industry has reached i'm
mense proportions during the last years.
The demand for Cincinnati beer in
creases day by day, and especially for
MOERLEIN's LAGER BEER,
which has won for itself the most fiat
ter1ng reputation. The Cincinnati beer
is we'll known already to the Canton
public, but the excellent
GENUINE EXPORT LAGER BEER
which for the last seven or eight months
has driven all connoisseurs of fine beer
into ecstacleS, may not be known to
many of our domestic beer drinkers.
This
EXPORT BEER
is brewed at MOerlein's famous brew
cry. A representative of this paper,
who has just returned from a southern
trip, while stopping few days in Gin
cinnati, availed himself of the oppOrtu-
nifty to pay visit to the extensive es-
tablishment Of the
NATIONAL LAGER BEER BoTTLING co.
Our representative was astonished be-
yOnd measure while wandering through
the labyrinth Of cellars, looking at the
large number of immense casks, all
filled with the best lager beer. The Ma
tiOnal Beer Bottling Company makes it
their special business of bOttling only
genuine export lager beer.
The national export has driven nearly
all brands of imported beer out of the
market already, and cOnnOisseurs of
beer prefer it in place of all foreign
stuff.
To give our beer drinkers a rare treat
we call their attention to the fact that
our worthy friend j. A. Bachman, sole
agent, has received an invoice of genu-
inc export lager, and invite all lovers
of glass of good genuine lager beer to
give it a test. We have sampled the
export" and must confess that we have
never tasted such an excellent beverage,
nI1ar al prVqtal. nnarlinn in tho orlo
like champagne, it has the advantage of
all other bottled beer, that there is an
entire absence of that disagreeable burn
ing taste which most of them have. We
are fully convinced that the above
named gentleman, in introducing this
excellent beer, has invested in a sue
cessful enterprise.
