A Faith Cure.

A wonderful cure 10y faith has been
called to our attention from a communi-
cation from Rev. VIM. Nicholson, to the
Columbus EXposiotr. The patient was
Mrs. Ella c. Stanley, who has relatives in
this, and Columbiana county in this State,
and resided herself in Marshall county
Iowa. Her sister, Mrs. Rebecca J. Pick
erlng. of near East Richland. went West
to stay with her through her last illness,
IN February, of 1888. From the first OF
February she had been confined to her
bed, being expected to die ut any time
but on the 18th of May. she said to her
sister, Let us go home To day The
packing was Immediately done, Il sleeping
car procured, and in 80 hours was at her
fathers home, in Columbiana county, the
Lord sustaining her through the journey
but she continued so low that every hour
Was looked upon as the last. As Il last
resort, she was brought to her sister S
home near East Richland, for change
of climate among the hills, but instead OF
improving. she continually grew worse,
until it WAS seen that no human skill
could help her At this time DR.. Charles
CuluS, of Boston WAS written to III her
behalf. and he set December 4th. as day
of prayer by her Christian friends for her
recovery. On that day, while prayers
were going up all over the land in her
behalf-and while she, with her sister
Rebecca, were praying together, she arose
from her bed, and went to work helping
her sister with the work about the house.

Salt i'm the Sea.

In its deepest parts the sea is intensely
blue, but where it is shallow it is a
bright green color, which prevails until
sounsings cease TO be struck Some
people ascribe the blue to the reflection
of the sky, and say that if the green
water which is found nearer land were
piled up in basin as deep as that
which holds the blue, it would be the
same color. But the true cause of the
difference between the two is the guam
tity of salt which the water contains.
Some parts of the sea are much salter
than others, and it is these which are
the bluest.
That the sea-water is denser in one
part than another is the result of evap-
grafton, less rainfall and smaller i'm
portation of fresh water by means of
rivers, etc. 1t is estimated that eight
feet of water are annually withdrawn
from the Red sea by evaporation only,
and it is not surprising that il is salter
then the Baltic, where the evaporation
is very small, and where, unlike it,
there Is an influx of water from various
streams and heavy annual rainfalls.
But why is the ocean salt at all?
The streams which feed it bring with
them the salts of the soil through which
they pass. AS evaporation is ever go
ing on one would think that sea water
must ever grow more lime-like but such
is not the case. The heavy heated
waters of the tropics carry saline mat
ter to be absorbed by the fresher wat
ers, which in their turn rush forth to
seek a home in more hospitable re-
gions; and hence it is that the seas from
which there is no evaporation, and
which receive abundant supplies from
rivers, etc, keep up their character
and do not become saltless lakes.
So the sea is salt by reason of the
earth washings which are poured into
it; it has different densities because
of evaporation, rainfalls and rivers,
as it is prevented from stagnating by
universal system of ocean currents.

Ouinine az u Cause Of Insanity.

The father Of Washington lawyer,
guilty of escapades, has given the fol-
lowing explanation of the erratic vic
tim: Thinking it safe thing to do,
my son has been in the habit for months
of carrying quinine in his pocket, and
taking it in small but frequent doses,
and the result is an elated, sanguine
state of mind, quite beyond the bounds
of reason. His memory is not yet inn
paired, and the marked improvement
consequent upon being deprived of the
drug gives his friends reason to expect
complete restoration in short time.
Meanwhile, let this case be one of many
others to teach us all that, excellent "a
quinine may be in many cases, it is, like
choral or opium or alcohol, exceed
ingly dangerous to trifle with" The
question which naturally arises in the
mind of the physicians on reading this
is whether quinine has ever been re-
ported as causing insanity. There are

When swallows were building I'm early spring
And the roses were red In June;
When the great white lilies were fair and sweet,
In the heat OF the August noon;
When the winds were blowing the yellow wheat,
And the song of harvest nigh,
And the beautiful world lay calm and sweet,
In the JOY of oloudless sky
Then the swallows were full OF glad content
In the hope of their northern nest:
Were sure That the land they were taHying In
OF all other lands was the best.
All IN tSey had heard in those blissful days
The Voice they must heed say, GO,
They had left their nests with a keen regret
And their flight had boon sad and slow.
But when summer was gone and flowers were
dead,
And the brown leaves fell with a sigh
And they watched the sun setting every day
Further on in the northern sky,
Then the Voice was sweet when II babe them
Go"
They were eager for southwark flight.
And they beat their wings to newborn hope
When they went at the'morning light
If the way was long, yet the way was glad,
And they brighter and brighter grew,
As they dipped their wings in the glowing heat,
:, As they still tn the southwark flew;
Till they found the land of the summer sun,
The land where the nightingale sings,
And joyfully rested mid rose and song
Their beautiful weary wings.
Like swallows we wander from home to home
We are birds OF passage at best
In many spot we have dwet awhile,
We have built us many nest
But the heart OF the Father will touch our
hearts,
He will speak to us soft and low.
We shall follow the Voice TO the better land,
And its bliss and its beauty know.

The BOrderland Of Insanity.

DIR. Ball, of London, was consulted
by young man who was engaged to be
married, but found it impossible to Wis
il his intended bride because it would
involve a journey of some length in a
railway carriage, and he could never
enter one without feeling a desire to
Jump out as soon as the train was In
motion. He was advised to accustom
himself gradually to this mode of trav-
cling by taking short journeys on the
suburban lines, but he could never get
beyond Auteuil; there he had to leave
the carriage for fear of accident. HON.
icidal impulse is likewise met with.
Theuviot's case is one of the oftenest
quoted. For years this unpleasant per-
son was tortured with n burning desire
to kill some woman or other, but he
never felt the slightest wish to take
the life of man. He battled with the
impulse for years, but ut length it got
the better of him. One day he MUIR
dered young girl, II perfect stranger to
him, whom unfortunate chance threw
in his way in the kitchen of restaur-
ant. DIR. Ball was also consulted by a
painter of considerable talent who was
prey to these murderous impulses.
He had married early in life, his family
was large, and his cares and anxieties
large in proportion. At about eight
and-thirty, without physical ailment of
any kind or any special unfavorable
turn in his affairs, his mind began
to be affected. If he saw mir
ror he experienced a desire to smash
e.. N hN fn1t -, tot;
to jump out; he never got bank note
in his hand that he did not feel
inclined to tear it to pieces. These
morbid promptings presently as
sumed a more formidable shape he be-
gan to be assailed with a temptation to
strangle his children. His little daugh-
ter was dying of Group, and he spent
night after night by her bedside nurs-
ing her with the utmost tenderness.
yet" said he to the physician, "at the
moment when [ was praying, with tears
in my eyes, that the child's life might
be spared, was tormented with hor-
rible desire to take her out of the cradle
and throw her into the fire. Even now"
he added, "as l speak to you, feel
most intense desire to strangle you: but
/ check myself" The doctor never
saw his patient again; circumstance
which he has perhaps no reason to re-
greet, for as he was man of powerful
build he would have been an ugly Gus
toner" had his sanguinary impulses
proved beyond his control. But up to
that time, as the doctor remarks, he had
kept them successfully in check. His
nearest friends did not even suspect that
he was subject to them. He fulfilled
all the duties of life in correct and
exemplary manner. No doctor could
have certified to his being insane. Yet
assuredly he was on the "borderland"
of insanity.-St. James Gazette.
