When disease has taken q strong hold
upon the system it needs n strong opponent
to drive it from the seat of its power.
Rheumatism and neuralgia are two most
stubborn and persistent diseases. But Ath-
lophoros, the conqueror of pain, has shown
itself more than a match for them. 1t has
never yet failed in its assault upon the cit
adel of the enemy, and it is radical and
effective in its treatment. Rev. DR.. S. S.
Dennen, pastor of the Third Street Con-
gressonal Church, New Haven, Conn, who
had suffered all that one could and live,
took his first dose on Friday. Sunday he
was in his pulpit. Monday he was well,
and has remained so ever since

Honor bright, now.
But to conclude:
The work on Ohio Levee Street, with
reference to which the resolution in ques.
ton was passed, was done under an ordi-
nance providing that it should be done at
general expense paid for out of the gem
eral fund. The work was done and the
owners of the property abutting the "im-
provement," many of whom regarded the
raising of the levee foot or more above
their front door-sills as an INJURY to theil
property, have hardly become reconciled tc
to the new condition, In the thought thai
their individual injury meant the public
benefit, when they are startled by a de-
mand from the City Council for the value
OF benefits resulting to them from the
said "improvementw Really now, is this
just exactly properi Not if we understand
the city charter right, which says, in sub.
stance, page 43, section 10, that when an
ordinance under which street or sidewalk
Improvements are made provided that such
Improvements shall be made by general
taxation, then such Improvements shall be
paid for out of the general fund.

Margie's Mission.
BY MARIE OLIVER.

Boston: ID. Lothrop & Co. Price 25
cents. This deeply interesting story, by
the author of "Sebs's Discipline and Ruby
Hamilton" forms the second issue in the
Young Folks Library Series, in honor ii
richly deserves. The plan of the publishers
ia to make this series model in every
thing that goes to constitute good books
interest, purity of tone, and direct pur-
pose to teach lessons OF truth, honor and
usefulness. These qualities give each sep
arate book claim upon the consideration
OF every parent who exercises judicious
care over the reading of his children. The
present volume may. well stand as rep
resentative OF the series in all these respects.
Margie is the youngest daughter of a coun.
try clergyman, and at the age of fourteen
is left without father or mother, but ia
cared for by kind friedds. She ia thought
full and sympathetic child, and anxious to
be of some use in the world. She often
wonders what her Emission" is to be, and
at last it is opened up to her. 1t is by no
means pleasant or romantic one, but she
bravely accepts it, and although her trials
are neither few nor light, its fruits are abun-
dant and permanent. We do not propose
to Interfere with the readers right to en-.
joy the story by describing its plot, but
simply give the authors motive, coupled
with an endorsement Of the book, not only
for its intrinsic value as story but as q
teacher of lessons which it behooves all
young people to learn.
COOKERY FOR BEGINNERS,
with Marion Marion Harland's name as au.
thor, needs no other indication of its char.
acter and genuine value. 1t has been
fault of previous books on Cookery that
they have taken for granted the possession
of certain degree of knowledge requisite
to their successful use, not always possess
ed. This book, while affording q range of
information unsurpassed by any other
book, and thus suited to the use of all, has
the advantage of being perfectly adapted
to the needs of the veriest tyros in cookery.

Professor Thomson, in recent lect-
ure, informed his audience that the
magnetic pole is now near Boothia
Felix, or more than l, 900 miles west OF
the geographical pole. In 1867 the
magnetic pole was due north, it having
been eastward before that year. Then
it began to move westward until 1916,
when the maximum was reached. This
is now being steadily diminished, and
in 1876 it will again point due north.
Professor Thomson says that the chan
ges which will have been observed not
only in the direction, but in the
strength of the earth's magnetism, will
show that the same causes which orig
inally magnetzed the earth are still at
work.

have for a long time felt that we
must look for simple and natural
explanation Of earthquakes. l never
felt much favor for the hypothesis, once
so popular, that earthquakes are due to
electrical disturbances, though they are
often attended by electrical or magnetic
phenomena. The latter should regard
as the effect rather than the cause of
the quaking. 1t is very probable the
earth is shrinking, and this contraction
has first tendency to consolidate and
then to wrinkle the crusts, as it were
Biologists tell us that the Atlantic
coast in these latitudes is slowly subsid-
ing. The same phenomenon has been
noticed elsewhere on the globe. Now
one can easily see that if the interior of
the earth is molten either in the mass,
or in separate masses divided by solidi-
fled matter, as is more probable, these
molten parts must be radiating heat
and consequently contracting all the
while. The globe will be growing
smaller all the while, and the outside
she'll or crust will get too large for the
kernel within, and must shrink, too
forced down by its weight At first
there would be condensation of mat
ter. Strains would be created, until
finally the shell would give way at some
weak point; there would be an upheayal
or wrinkling of the earth's crust or an
earthquake along the line of least resist
ance. Possibly the mountains were
formed in this way; and this hypothesis
furnishes a very acceptable explanation
of the faults and displacements of strata
which biologists have observed. In
fact, ! rather think that biologists have
used this hypothesis, but 1 have not the
data at hand to verify my impression.
A complicated theory, involving assures
in the earth's crust, cavities containing
molten matter, and sudden precipita-
ton of water into these cavities with
generation of steam under enormous
pressure, has also been advanced to ac-
count for earthquakes. But the idea
that earthquakes are simply the result
of the gradual contraction Of tho earth
that is going on all the while seems to
me both natural aud logical,
