The Work of Faith in Boston.

The educational. religious and char
liable institutions connected with the
"Work of Faith" which was organ
lied in Boston nineteen years ago by
DR.. Charles Cullis, and has been
directed by him ever since, are in
remarkably prosperous condition.
There is no fund, endowment, or
known pecuniary provision of any
kind existing for the support of these
institutions. but it is affirmed that in
answer to prayer and without other
solicitation there. has been contribu.
ted to the work more than $500, 900.
This sum has been received day by
day in amounts varying from 81 to
$4,000. The old headquarters in Bos-
ton and an adjoining building have
lately been connected and remodeled
at an expense of S32, 500. and this new
and cOmmodious home was dedicated
last week.

Singular Negro Superstition.

AT social gathering of fashionable
darkies in Memphis the other even
ing Mr.. John Grady was fortunate
enough to have eleven dollars in his
pocket, and though his nickname is
"Luck," unlucky enough to lose the
same through a hole in said pocket.
There was no doubt that the money
had fallen to the floor, and the ques-
ton was which of the guests had APP
propriated it. BY unanimous con-
sent of the company it was decided
to solve this perplexing problem by
means of the infallible "silter test"
and accordingly sitter was brought
from the kitchen. To II was attach
ed string which was held in turn
by the guests. The sitter remained
motionless until the string was grasp
ed by Oscar Jones, when it began to
revolve with great rapidity. There
upon Mr.. Grady promptly caused
his arrest. Justice QuigIey, who
could not have been fully aware of
the solemn ceremonial by which his
guilt had been established, dismissed
the suit.

What Becomes of our Bodies.

With a very near approach to truth
the human family inhabiting the
earth has been estimated at 1000, ,000,-
600; the annual loss by death S,0O0,s .
O00. Now, the weight of the animal
matter of this immense body cast into
tho grave is no less than 634, 900 tons,
and by the decomposition produces
5000, COO. 900, ,0O0 cubic feet of gaseous
matter. The vegetable productions
of the earth clear away from the at.
mosphere the gases thus generated
decOmposing and assimilating them
for their own increase. This cy Gle of
changes Las been going on ever since
man became an occupier of the earth.
He feeds on the lower animals and on
the seeds of plants, which in due time
become part of himself. The lower
animals feed upon the herbs and
grasses, which in their turn become
the animal, then by its death, again
pass into the atmosphere and are
ready once more to be assimilated by
plants, the earthly or bony substance
alone remaining where it is deposit
ted. and not even there unless suffi-
GENTLY deep in the soil to be out of
the insorben mt reach of the plants and
trees. 1t is not at all difficult to prove
that the elements of which the living
bodies of the present generations are
composed have passed through mil
lions of mutilati0ns, and formed parts
of all kinds of animal and vegetable
bodies. and consequently it may be
said that factions of the elements OF
our ancestors form portions of our
selves.

A Postal Telegraph Scheme.

Senator Hill, of Colorado, has in
troduced for the consideration of his
colleagues a bill to establish system
of postal telegraphs in the United
States. thus competing with Senator
Edmunds. who has offered similar
bill. in his effort to concentrate agen-
cies, hitherto left to private enter
prise, in the hands of the government
al Washington. Senator Hill's hill
provides that alter July |, 1897, mes
SageS for transmission by telegraph,
telephone or other equivalent device
may he deposited at all places in the
United States where letters for trans
mission Ivy mail may be deposited.
and at such other places as the Post
master-General may designate. When
prepayment of any such message is
made, by means of postage stamps
affixed thereto, it shall be forwarded
to it's address. When a message is
addressed to a place at which there
is no postal telegraph office it shall
be forwarded to such address from
the nearest or most convenient postal
telegraph Office. When so forwarded
by mail no extra charge shall be made.
The charge for the transmission of
messages between all places in the
United States is placed at one cent
for each word contained therein,
counting date. address and signature.
The Senator's Plan contemplates the
purchase or leasing of the facilities
of telegraph lines already in exist
ence, and would of course confer on
the Postmaster-GeDeraI an enormous
amount of valuable discretion in deal
ing with contractors.

Please Remember.

Do not forget that life is worth
every effort that is put forth for its
preservation, and no matter what the
ailment or disease you should not give
up to the fell destroyer without maxi
ing every effort in your power to
counteract his advances. and to re-
gain your health and strength. Yes,
please remember that DR.. S. B. Hart
man. of Pittsburg. has disco cred a
remedy called Per,aaG, which, al
though not warranted to cure every
disease incident to this climate and
humanity in general, yet it has per.
formed some cures which were al.
most miraculous in their nature,
Perund is composed of the purest oi
ingredients, and no mineral poison is
allowed to enter into it under any
consideration, and hence it is always
sure and safe remedy. Give 1t a
trial, and you will like il.

Taking Cold.

Here is list of few of the many
petty acts of commission and omis-
sion, the result of forgetfuIness, or
more frequently of ofcarelessness, which
almost surely originate colds. which
we take from DIR. Rumbold's little
book on the "Hygiene of Catarrh :"
Sitting on stone doorstep in cool
evening to late hour in the night !;
sitting up after the fire has gone out,
then going to bed with cold feet; get
ting out of bed with bare feet and in
a night dress to wait on a child sleep
ing in cold room making the fire
on cold morning in an undressed
condition standing in an open door
way during cold or damp weather,
with the head and shoulders INSULT
ciently protected, to speak few words
to friend who is too slow in making
his or her departure stopping to
speak to a friend on the sidewalk,
long enough for the feet to become
cold, and to experience chilly SEN
sation between the shoulders, etc.
To sum up the whole matter, free
dom from throat disease is matter
less of climate than of attention to
the rules of health which should gov
ern the daily lives of every person.
How a man lives is of quite as much
Importance as where he lives in his
Wrestle with throat troubles.

The Importance Of the Newspaper il
the Farmhouse.

| The following sensible and truthful
article is taken from the December
number of the Circular, published in
Philadelphia:
People who live near the great thor
oughfares. where they have access to
two or three dailies and half-dozen
weeklies, do not fully appreciate the
value OF newspapers. They come. in
deed. to look upon them as necessi-
ties. and they would as cheerfully do
without their morning meal as their
morning mail. But one must be far
on in the country. remote from the
"maddening crowd" to realize the
full luxury .of a newspaper. The
farmer who receives but one paper
realizes its importance.
The foe of American social life is in
the tendency to luxury and effemi-
macy anan9 The well-to-do young
women of our American cities ana
large towns. They do not realize how
farmer who receives paper but
once week does not glance over it's
columns hurriedIy, with an air of inn
patience, as does your merchant or
lawyer. He begins with the begin
ming and reads to the close, not per-
mittinga news item to escape his eye.
Then it has to be read by every menu
Der of the family. every one looking
for the things in which he or she is
interested. The growu.up daughter
looks for the marriage notices, and is
delighted if the editor has treated
them to love story. The sou, who
is about to engage in farming, with
an enthusiasm that will carry him
far in anvance of his father, reads all
the crop reports, and has keen eye
for hints about improved modes of
culture. The younger members of
the family coma in for the amusing
anecdotes and scraps Of fun. All look
forward, with the liveliest interest,
to the day that shall bring the paper.
and if, by some unlucky chance, it
fails tecome, it is bitter disappoint-
ment. One can hardly estimate the
amount of information which a paper
that is not only read. but tstudied. can
carry intoa family. Tney have, week
by week, spread before their mental
vision panorama of the busy world.
its fluctuations and its concerns. 1t
is the poor mans library, and turn-
ishes as much mental food as he has
time to consume and digest, No one
who has observed how much those
value their weekly papers who are
fsreway from places where men most
congre0ate. can fail in invoking a
blessing on the inventor of this mode
of intellectual enjoyment.

Oddities in Fur.

A ReInarkable story Developed by a
Divorce Suit.

0AFOlO0 QUIZ.
A dlxoree suit of considerable local
inteysI II now being heard before an
sexanlif|1r in Philadelphia, according
TO the 5rror, of thatcity. The par
ties y Hesuit are Anson F. Clements
sand kAret Clements, nee Leeds, a
lnative{ this city. They were mar
ried hefP On the 9Th of July last. The
groom Hko is 26 years of age, is a
carriaea nphoister by trade. After
a thfae days honeymoon he left for
PhiRQe eIphia. where he had been of
feree q pesition, leaving his wife, a
pretty little brunette, with her moth
er. October Is he sent for his
wifN who had not been in her new
hone = week before she had written
twlIn % her mother that she was too
uttk Is miserable to live; that her
bus while one of the kindest
issist se.l,sst considtr.te men ilpine,
was possessed of a strange aff1iction
that made her life burden, and GER
tainly precluded the possibility of her
living with him.
The story she relates Is a terrible
one, and was amply corroborated by
her tears and her pitiful EXPRESSIONS
of regret about the compulsory part.
ing. 1t is to the effect that on the
night of marriage she awakened by
a noise in the room, and saw stand
ing in front of the mirror the form of
man who seemed to be shaving
himself. Turning to her husband
she found him as cold as death. All
this time the mysterious figure con-
tinued to shave himself in front of
the looking-glass. Her screams
awakened the household, and when
she recovered from fainting fit she
found her mother and her husband
bathing her face and hands with cold
water. She looked toward the bureau
and found that the man had disap-
peared. After she went to Philadel-
phia she claims to have undergone
the same torture on two occasions,
each time finding her husband cold
aud motionless in the embrace of
death, in bed, while man stood at
the mirror shaving himself.
The last time she says she muster
ed up courage enough to turn up the
gas and saw the reflection of her hus-
bands face in the mirror. She walked
to the bed, touched her husbands s
forehead, and found it as cold as ice.
Meanwhile the figure at the mirror
began to fade away and soon disap-
pearec,- her husband then awakened
and said that what she saw was no
nightmare, but terrible reality; that
she had seen his double, which had
been curse to him for years and SEEM
ed to he visitation upon him for some
sin of his parents. He said that he
was fully aware when his other con-
sciousness was making itself visible
to mortal eye, and that he had not the
slightest control over himself. For
this ieason, says the woman. they
have agreed to separate, although
they truly love each Other.-PiHS6urq
