THE latest faith-cure is reported from Provi-
dence. r. 1. So it appears that there is still
abiding faith in Providence. Mrs. Henry Ide,
who for nearly twenty years had been an invalid
from spinal disease and sciatica, and for seven
teen years had been unable to walk, claims to
have been cured by faith in prayer. The Rev. A.
A. Cleveland. "faIth" minister, and his wife
prayed with Mrs. Tde aud Amounted her with
consecrated oil about three weeks ago. She says
that she at once began to feel stronger, and at
$50 O'Clock the next morning she got up and
was able to walk, and has been able to walk ever
since. 1t is not necessary to doubt the state
ment here made. But that it was cure effected
through superhuman miraculous agencies Is
by no means certain. The writer knew a lady
who was afflicted, apparently, exactly as was
Mrs. Ide, and like her for a num-
Der of years unable to leave her bed.
While reading of faith-cures, few years ago,
she became convinced that she, TOO, could be
cured by that means. In a few days she was
out of bed, and in due course of time appeared
at church, where she was profuse in her thanks
for her wonderful deliverance through prayer.
But it was not very long until she partially re-
lapsed, and less than one year ago she died Of
the malady of which she was "cured," though
it did not appear at any time that she had back
slddcn. Such instances are calculated to create,
or rather to strengthen, the belief that the
alleged faith cures are the result of a sudden
arousng of dormant energies and nervous force
rather than the interposition of superhuman
aCeneles

CAsABIANCA is dead, but juvenile heroism is
not dead. In the recent panic in a New York
school upon the appearance of ''snake-feeder"
an eight-year-old boy did as much as any to-
ward restoring order and preventing stampede,
that would almost inevitably have resulted in
the death of some of the frightened children.
When little boy in the class about his own age
attempted to scramble though a window and
throw himself to the sidewalk, Freddie Schultz
for that is the herO's name, pulled him back by
the legs and threatened to "break his neck" If he
tried the same thing again. Being interviewed,
the little fellow said:
"There big sting bee came in and fright
ened u little girl next me- and she hOllered, '0h!
ohp and then other boys and girls cried, Ohi oh!'
and Fire! Then they began to run for the doors
and windows, and / shouted to them that they
were lot of fools. L caught one boy going out
of the window and made him sit down quiet,
and after that they all sat down quiet"
A handsome gold medal has been presented him,
bearing the inscription: ITO Frederick Schultz,
eight years old, for courage and presence of
mind at grammar school No. 25, June 8, 1888"
1t is said that little girl about the same age,
by like GOODNESS and courage kept her mates
in the girls room from breaking away panic.
Her name is Jennie Beck, and it is to be regret
ted that she was not rewarded in like manner
with the boy.

The hanging In front has small square

A New PI.. 10 W.rl County Roads.

A bill Of great interest to farneu is

known. the pressnt statute requires
every citizen 70 get out his shovel and

ilsgs OF working out his road tar in
the same way. This bill introduced
by Mr.. McGsvrsn, Of Harrison county.
abolishss the old statue labor systsm,
aud requires in its stead direct pay
ment in money and the expenditure Of
the money upon the roads. Ii does
away with the small district supervi-
sorship plan, reduces the nunfer Of
supervisors from fifteen and twenty in
q township to two, and places the full
control Of the roads in the hands OF
the township trustees. who shall direct
the supervisors % TO time and place of
making repairs. The road tax is to
be paid into the county treasury, thence
back to the township, and paid out for
labor on orders of the supervisor. The
opinion of the farmers generally seems
to think that it will cause road work
to be more systematically and COM
pletely performed, and that it will
tend to equslize the cost to greater
extent, and cause many to pay who
have heretofore escaped both taxation
and labor.

A resident Of one OF oar large VII
laess, Who had come into possession
ola fne lot witch he wished 70 plant,
but who had had little experiences With
tree culture, called on . neigboring
nursery-man to make pafchsses. he
wanted nothing bui large trees-two
inches in diameter, II be could find
them, and ten feet high. BE cared
much less for the kind than for the
sise--snything which was gigantic,
early or late, fruit or ornamental, was
eagerly taken. The nursery-nan
frankly gave his opinion that trees Of
moderate size would be better; but
the purchaser quickly replied, "I want
big trees now--I may not live for the
small oaes to grow up" He. carried
of large load Of monsters. In a
few years he came again. to make ad-
ditionsl purchases The nursery man
remarked, II suppose you want sll the
largest trees you can get-I think l
can supply you." "Nol no." exclaimed
the purchaser, ave had enough Of
big treesi No moro for me! Those
got OF you have scarcely grown any
since, and the smaller ones have over
taken them, and they are ever SO much
handsomer and more thrifty;-glve
me small, vigorous trees" This incl
dent tells the whole story, and should
be remembered by every inexperien-
ced planter. Many years ago, Sir
Henry Stewart made plantation OF
large thees in the moist climate OF
Scotland, but they made little growth
and had q sickly appearance. 1t was
then that Loudon, with his long and
extensive experience as . landscape
gardener, offered to make a public test
with any one who would, try large
trees, he himself plsnting small and
thrifty ones with full roots, in rich,
deeply trenched, and well cultivated
ground, with the confident assurance
that in a given number of years be
would show trees not only larger, but
lmmeasurably finer in appearance
