have used the lifting cure under the direc-
ton of DR.. Paul, Boston agent for the Health
Lift Co., for about six months, and can recon-
mend it as a good and healthy form of exer-
else. 1t quickens the circulation, increases the
muscular force and gives to the whole system
a sense of renewed vigor. 1t is particularly to
be commended to those whose habits are Sc
dentary. But in order to secure its good re-
suits it must be pursued regularly and as a mat
ter of duty, and not occasionally and as mat
ter of impulse. In general man needs such
exercise most when he feels inclined to it
Such disinclination is the result of a low tone
of the system, which good lift will help to
improve.

Williston Church.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I saw in the same page of your
paper yesterday morning there was an art exhi-
bition at "Williston chapel" and also that an
evangelist preached at "Williston chapel. !"
Will you please state for the benefit OF your
readers that the former refers to the chapel or
vestry of Williston church and the latter to
the old chapel formerly occupied by the Viii
liston congregation before the new church was
built. As long as there has been no religious
society IN town known as the Williston chapel
for more than three years, would it not be well
for the society on Danforth street to call their
church home the Disciples chapel. in order to
distinguish it from the vestry of the Williston
church on Thomas street?

The Storm.

A damp snow storm set in Thursday evening
and continued until last evening, adding still
more to the piles in the already much encum-
bered streets. The amount that fell it would
be difficult to exactly estimate since the snow
was quickly trodden and packed into the
smallest compass. The sidewalks were terri
bly, slippery at night, and we hope the street
commissioners and householders will be liberal
with their sand and ashes to-day.
The Boston and New York boats were detain-
ed by the storm Thursday night, and did not go
out. The trains yesterday noon over the va
rious roads were from fifteen minutes to an
hour late, and the Ogdensburg train last night
was two hours late, and the Rochester an hour

Representative Men OF France.


Rev. Mr.. Dalton's second lecture Saturday
was devoted to Representative Men OF
France" The speaker spoke of the French
Hrtion as a nation of action and their repre-
sentative men as men of action He gave
sketches OF Charlemsgne, Louis XII, Francis
l, Catharine de Medic, Maechiavelli, Henry
Nv, Sully, the Duke of Guise, Turenne, Condo,
Mszsrin, Louis XIV, Louis XIV, kichelieu,
Nspole on. He said France became infidel
through Votaire, who was greater than Rous-
seau or Montesquieu. He was France He
was greater than Shakespeare and dilton and
Wordsworth combined, yes, ten times greater,
In that his influence was SO much greater. He
was and is the representative mind Of France.
He represents it in its inidelity, in its action,
IN its literary activity, in all the characteristics
of its national life. The lecturer closed with
brief but finely drawn picture of the French
repablic, its past aud its present dangers, and
spoke of the political complications of the last
ten years in connection with the Eastern ques-
tion that have resulted in the extension of the
English influence in Egypt and the probable
alliance, as it now seems, in the near future,
between England, Germany and Italy.

On her return, a short time after, an excited
crowd had gathered In front Of the Laundry

FOR this is not an isolated case. II our po-
