StOp-Read-Think!


Perhaps discuss the all-importaut question
of Temperance with its relationship to politics by
asking few pertinent questions:
l. Which of the political parties is the whisky
bosses afraid of
Which of the political parties has sold ont to the
whisky bosses?
g. Which party has assailed every law (before its
passage) looking toward restriction prohibition,
and after their passage aimed by the of money to

packed juries, bought judges-in word caused the
law to be null and void?
T. Which party is it which declares against the
Scott bill and constitution amendment, and favors
license?
8. What party would exchange votes with other
parties-they vote the amendment if in exchange
reformer would vote for their members Of the Legs-
lature, also judges of the supreme Court?
6. Suppose the amendment passes, and a Legisla-
ture Supreme Court be the of the
whisky power, of what avail will it be?
T. Would a whisky Legislature impose penalty
for the violation of the law and would Supreme
Court elected to declare unconstitutional the law,
fail so to do?
s. What hopes have from party whose leader
declares he does not want the vote of the man who
will vote for prohibition, and who declares himself
to be in favor of taxing churhes but having free
whisky?
g. Will not the loss equal the tin, when voter
votes for the amendment and then votes a party
ticket hopelessly?
10. With the amendment adopted a reform legisa-
ture, reform judiciary, will not our hopes be well
founded?
H. If the amendment fail, the Scott bill stand,
form legislature reform judiciary, is hope
less?

Lime Cartridges for Mining Coal.

According to the american Manu.
tact'o'er (Pittsburg, Pa, some exper-
iments have been made with cartridges
of condensed lime in mining coal at
the Eureka mine at Houtzdale. The
tests were successful in shattering the
coal, but better results would have
been reached if the coal had not been
too soft. 1t appears that the lime
charges must be compressed by
hydraulic or similar means under a
pressure Of forty tons on a cylinder
of two and a half inches, nearly
doubling the density of the lime.
Thus treated, and secured in hole
drilled in the coal, water is pumped to
the cartridge, reaching its entire
length, and the expansion effects an
enlargement of five times the original
bulk of the cartridge, necessarily Shat
tering the surrounding walls of coal
to that extent without an explosion.

WOMAN'S PROVINCE.
The Duties Of the Gentler Sex-HOw
Best Fulfilled.

What great task is assigned to
woman, its dignity cannot be elevated.
1t is not her province to make laws, to
lead armies, nor to be at the head Of
great enterprises, but to her is given
the power to form those by whom the
laws are made, to teach the leaders Of
mighty armies and the governors of
vast empires. She is required to
guard against having the slightest
faint of bodily infrmity touch the
frail creature, whose moral, in
tellectual and physical being is derived
from her. She must instill correct
principles, inculcate right doctrines,
and breathe into the soul of her off
spring those pure sentiments which
in time to come will be part of
themselves, and bless generations as
yet unborn. Yes, to woman is given
the blessed privilege of aiding the suf-
ferer in all the various stages of his
existence. She smiles serenely at the
christening, and weeps at the burial,
while she soothes the bereaved heart.
This is her province and duty. Yet
how can she fulfill her mission unless
she is possessed OF strong and heal
thy body? The preparation of DIR. S.
b. Hartman, and known as Peruna, is
just the thing for all persons suffering
from majority of the complaints in
cident to this climate. 1t is invalua-
BILE to women, and Mrs j. w. Rey-
nolds, Of New Lisbon, Columbiana
county, is a noted example of what
the medicine can do. She says she
had suffered for years with congestion
of the lungs, catarrh in the head, and
was troubled with a bad cough She
had tried a number of physicians, but
they all failed to cure her. She was
induced to try Peruna, and Immediate
ly a marked change took place. After
using one bottle her cough ceased, and
in a short time her other ailments
were cured. She is now completely
restored to health, and gives all the
credit to Peruna.

[Scientific Americana
Faith Remedies.

It is unnecessary to resort to some
collection of anecdotes relating to old
time superstitions to show how great
an influence faith or fancy may have
on the human mind, and act through
the mind on the body. The faith
cures which are portion Of our cur
rent news are supplemented by prac-
tices by sensible people which are
considered by them to be of such an
occult or doubtful nature as to be
concealed, usually, for fear of ridicule
1t is not uncommon now for persons
to wear around the neck a suspended
miniature sachet of silk containing
gum camphor as a defense against
fevers, measles and small pox. A
string of red coral beads, or in lieu
thereof bit of scarlet yarn about the
neck, is even now considered neCes-
sary protection of the infant from
various ills Some persons who are
periodically afflicted with rheumatism
carry either a small potato or a horse
chestnut as charm against the at
ack of the dreaded foe. This sort of
nonsense is not confined to the vulgar
or ignorant, for in at least two in
stances one was doctor of divinity
and the other a man of liberal educa-
ton and cosmopolitan experience.
The cure of warts has always been
associated, more or less, with the
occult or unknowable A pleasant
hammered young women who made
no pretensions to unusual skill and
medical knowledge. was for years the
resort Of all the wart-affiicted in the
town and vicinity. Speaking from
youthful memory, what she did was
to take the number of the warts
given her by the patient or an accom-
panying friend, and that was the sum
and substance of the prescription.
There are plenty of her patients, how
ever, who will swear that their visit
to the quiet little dressmaker was fol-
lowed by the rapid disappearance of
their warts. There are reasonable and
sensible men living who will aver
that they cured their warts by steal
ing. unobserved, a bit Of fresh meat,
rubbing it on the warts, and burying
it IL the ground. In cases of threat
Pned tetanuS, caused Dy 1OoG wound,
the drinking of water in which vine
gar-rusted nails have been stirred was
formerly adjudged to be specific,
and there are persons who will readily
give testimony to this effect. In this
case it is not impossible that the iron
tonic may have been advantageous.
1t may be difficult to draw the line
between the effect Of indictments on
the human system under certain
known laws and the mental influence
of belief and desire on the physical
body. Whether mental emotion or
intelligent faith does really affect the
animal portion of the human struc-
ture or not, it is curious fact that
education and culture do not eliminate
a belief in faith cures or remedies.

MY SUNBEAM.
BY MARY d. BRINE.

There are two sunbeams on the floor;
Two sunbeams fair to see;
And one belongs to skies above,
And one belongs to me.
My sunbeam lifts her tiny hands,
Her playfellow to grasp,
When 10, a shadow and the beam
Eludes my darling's clasp.
Yet once again it comes: and see,
1t lies now here, now there;
1t kisses baby's dimpled cheek,
And nestles in her hair;
Makes golden eve-y little curl
Upon the precious head,
TIL, like dream, again its light
From baby's side has fled.
Oh. wondering baby eyes, which weep
At shadows left b. hind.
Fear not. the cloud will lift. and you
The vanished beam shall find.
Look even now upon the wall
1t climbs. then tumbleS down
To shine at babv's feet ere it
Once more her head shall crown.
God grant dear little one, that Heaven
Its brightest beams may lay
Upon the naths your feet must tread
Throughout life's little day.
Full many a beam of pureSt gold
Your hands will strive to clasp;
Full many shadow stern will snatch
The sunbeam from your grasp.
But even ere you cease TO grieve,
Behold. the clouds roll by.
And where the shadow dwelt before
A hundred SUI beams lie.
Look always for the brightest spot,
AS you through life shall 20.
And Hone a. Faith shall fill your heart
With Heavens purest glow.

This is the way the Delaware Sig
nal says the saloon-business adds to
the material wealth and prosperity Of
the country.
"A soul burning forever in hell-frr,
a ruined family begging their bread
in the streets, furious hus band tear
ing the hair out of his wife head, or
a sullen sot slowly killing her by the
pangs of wounded affection and in
tolerable anxiety; a drunkard reeling
along the streets, knocking everybody
he meets into the gutter, and blowing
out the brains of the policeman who
attempts to arrest him."
