There can be no question that faith
healing is fact. The brain is not
simply the organ of the mind, it is
also the chief center, or series OF CEN
ters, of the nervours system by which
the whole body is energized, and its
component parts with their several
functions are governed and regulated.
There is no miracle in healing by faith
whereas it would be u miracle II the
organism, being constituted as it Is,
and the laws of life such as they are,
faith healing did not under favorable
conditions occur. The fallacy OF those
who proclaim faith healing as religi-
GUS function lies in the fact that they
misunderstood and misinterpret their
own formula,
1t is the faith that heals, not the
hypothecated source, or object, of
faith outside the subject of faith. The
whole process is self-contained. Moth
ing is done for the believer; his act of
believing is the motor force of his cure.
We all remember the old trick of max
ing a man ill by perslstently telling
him he is ill until he believes it. The
contrary of this is making a man we'll
by inducing him to believe himself to
performed will be the precise number
of the persons who are capable OF being
thrown into a state OF mind and body
in which ''faith" denominates the or
ganic state. Pathologists will limit
the area of this process to the province
of functional disease; but we are not
sure that they are justified by sclen-
tific facts in making this limitation.
1t must not be forgotten that function
goes before organism IN development,
and that there are large classes OF
cases in which the disabilities OF a
diseased organ for fair performance
of its functions are mainly due to a
want of power or irregularity in action.
And it Is fact in pathology that II
the function of an organ be maintained
or restored, much of the destructive
metamorphosis due to proliferation OF
connective tissue, fatty deposit, or
even certain forms of atrophic change
in which the nuclei of cell-life are
rather denuded than destroyed, may
be arrested and to some extent, repair
ed. The Uis niedicdtriJ nature Is g.
very potent factor in amelioration OF
disease, if only it be allowed fair play.
An exercise of 'falth" as rule sus-
pends the operation of adverse int1u-
ences, and appeals strongly through
the consciousn ess to the inner and un-
deriving faculty of vital force. There
are many irtractable cases in every
practice which might be ''cured by
faith" 1t is well that these poor per-
sons should be benefited by some
means, it matters little what; and if
they can be ''healed be faith we ought
to be very glad, and thankful, too, for
the mistaken zeal. Of those who, be-
ING weak-minded themselves. make
dupes of other weakminded folk to
their advantage. This is blind lead
ing of the blind in which they do not
fall into the ditch, but, by happy
combination of circumstances, actually
escape danger and gain something to
boot.-LOnd0n Lancet.

"WaIking Typhoid"

A case of uncommon, but not un-
heard of, malady came under the
writer's notice recently. A young mar
ried man sent a note to his wife that
he was summond to neghboring
town on business and would be away
all night. AS this contingency frequet-
ly arose in his occupation nothing was
thought of the announcement until
the next day, when, he not having re-
turned inquiries were. instituted, but
no trace of his whereabouts could be
found. Five days later he was found
in a distant western city, over one
thousand miles from home, about to
take a train which would carry him
still further toward the Pacific coast.
He was brought home i'll, and suffered
course of typhoid fever from which
he recovered as well as ever HIS
physician diagnosed his case as walks
Ing typhoid, and the recital in detail
of his wanderings which he was able
later to perfectly recall, was terribly
suggestive. He had passed one entire
night walking up and down the sus-
pension bridge at Niagara Falls, I'M
der the impression that his wife was
to meet him there and would be fright
ened to find herself alone in such
place. Distressed at her failure to be
on hand, he started in pursuit OF her.
He stopped at various hotels and res
taurants boarded and left trains always
with definite purpose. Frequently
he came to his senses and knew that
he was far from home and travelling
under a delusion, but before he could
fully recover himself the halluciation
was strong upon him. 1t is possible
that many disappearances begin in
Just such a half-rational desire to
wander, with, however, not the same
fortunate ending.-New York Graphic.

Ocean Waves.

The results of series of observa-
tions carried out by the Hydrographi-
cal Bureau at Washington, in order to
determine the length, depth and dura-
ton of ocean waves, have been pub
lished. The largest wave observed is
said to have had length of half a
mile, and to have spent itself in %
seconds. During storms in the North
Atlantic waves sometimes extend to a
length of 500 and 600 feet, and last
from 10 to II seconds. The most care
full measurements of the heights of
waves give from A to 4S feet as an
extreme limit. The average height of
great waves is about 80 feet. These
measurements refer to ordinary ma
rine action. and do not relate to earth
quake action or other exceptional
AGENCIES.

Horrible Cruelty.

Horrible cruelty to animals is COM
mon in Naples. Old horses, young
kids and lambs, all dogs, cats and rats,
are skinned alive, because the skin
when removed from the living creature
is considered more supple, and sells
for a somewhat higher price. Dogs
are seized by legalized municiple dog
stealers twice day; are thrust pell-
NELL into court; kept two days with
out food, and then, half-stunned with
stick, and while living, tiayed from
head to tail. Horses in the knackers'
yards there are allowed to drop from
hunger, as being less trouble than kill
ing them, and, when utterly exhaust
ed, are nailed on planks and fayed.

Arresting a Dummy.

When boy gets so mean that he
will play joke on poor policeman,
he should be shut up in the calaboose,
and kept in durance vile till he repents.
A young man, the other evening,
stuffed an old suit of clothes with
small beer keg and some straw, and
left the figure on the back steps of
Felsenheld's store. In the evening
watchman Drake came around trying
the back doors, when he discovered
the straw man sleeping off drunken
stupor on the steps. He told the fell
low to get up. The stuffed individual
failed to answer. Drake shouted to
HIM but still there was no reply. The
officer then punched the man in the
ribs with his cane. The hard stomach
of the drunkard aroused brakes sus-
picion, and he soon discovered the
joke. The bad young man here ap-
peared from behind box, and the
policeman gave him cigar to smoke.
Drake then started away. He met
policeman Long and Walker on cor
ner. He told them there was drunk
en- man on the back steps OF Felsen-
held's store, and requested them to 60
around and jug him. He excused
himself from assisting in the job, by
saying he had not yet made his
rounds.
The two officers went to the locality
at the back of the store. They told
the man to get up. He never moved.
They asked him what he was doing
there. No answer. Walker put out
his cane and gave the man punch in
the ribs. The end of his cane entered
the bung-hole of the keg, and Walkers
hair stood on end, as he thought he
had run the fellow through. Long
stopped down, and taking the dummy
by the arm asked him if he was hurt.
The officer noticed, by the DIM light,
that the straw was protruding from
the hole in its coat, and he turned to
Walker and told him they were sold.
Just then a low, harsh chuckle was
heard behind the boxes, and the young
man stepped out to receive his cigars.
The two policemen then went and
found officer John Kelley. That in
dividual, with visions of an arrest in
his mind, hastened to the locality OF
the dummy.
"Young mon, aruse yourseluf," he
said in gruff voice.
The young man lay there, all un-
needing of what was said unto him.
Coon! COON! wake kup thor.
Whot is voor name an whor are yoo

No answer.
"Will yoo stir yourseluf, sor. Yoo
are dronk, mon"
The individual addressed did not
deign to reply. :,

quoth Kelley, and he took the figure
by the arm and gave it a jerk. 1t
rolled off the steps and lit with dull
thud on the ground below.
The young man behind the boxes
stepped out and said:
.'Ah, ha! l saw you do that. You
have killed the fellow.
mot by dom sight" cried Kelley
in CONSERVATION. 1.-The drunken
brute drew a razor on me furst."
When the officer descended the
steps, and saw the old suit of clothes
with the beer keg and straw protrud-
ing, he said to the young man:
"Don't ye tell soel of this. I'll
make it all roight wild ye the next
tonne 1 COON arouend. "-Aurora

Chase and Greeley in Difficulty.

When Greeley and Chase went down
to Richmond upon the indictment of
Mr.. Davis, Chase said: What do you
mean to do, Mr.. Underworld" II
mean to try and hang jeff Davis" was
the reply. "Is it possible" said Chase,
.tnat you, a Judge, will give your
opinion in advance of trialp This will
not do. The counsel for JEFF DAVIS
will produce my proclamation and
messages to the Ohio legislature, and
prove that demanded the separation
of this country, and the first thing we
shall know will be that l shall be con-
victed and Jefferson Davis will 90 free.
l can not try him now. 1t is already
the middle of May, and the cholera Is
in the country; it will be in Richmond
by July, and it is too hot. y So he put
it off till November "Then, said
he, 'the supreme court meets here in
Decemb ber; l can not try HIM now.
November is too cold" 1t was very
evident that Mr.. Chase did not want to
try him at all.
Mr.. Greeley also told Judge Under
wood that jeff Davis could not be con-
victed of treason by a jury. He had
in The New York Tribune denounced
the stars and stripes as ''haunting
lie," to be torn down; he had approved
the proposition of Gen. Banks to "iet
the union slide" and when John
Brown had invaded Virginia he had
proposed to 'slet the south 90 in
peace" He felt that he would be wit
ness against the conviction of Davis
for treason, and he urged his liberia
ton on bail, promising to head the list
of sureties. This he did, although
there was no lack of responsible Vir-
ginians ready and willing to sign the
bail-bond of their deposed leader

Care Of the Hair.

advises instead thorough brushing. This pro-
notes circulation, removes scurf, and is in all
respects better than water.
Cutting the hair does not as commonly
thought, promote its growth. Most of the spe-
ciScs recommended for badness, not excepting
petroleum, are mere stimulants, and are seldom
or never permanently successful Some of them
give rise to congestion of the scalp. When a
stmulant is desirable, amonia is the best. 1t is
SAFE
For falling out of the hair, DIR. Wilson pre-
seribes lotion composed of water of ammonia,
almond oil and cbloroform one part each, diluted
with five parts alcohol, or spirits of rosemary.
the whole made fragrant with a drachm of oil Of
lemon. Dab it on the skin, after thorough fric-
ton with the hair brush. 1t may be used spar
ingly or abundantly, daily or otherwise.
For cooling lotion, one made of two drachms
of borax and glycerine to eight ounces of distilled
water is effective allaying dryness, subduing ir-
ritability and removing scurf
Both badness and grayness depend on defect

alike. What is needed is moderate stimulation,
without any irritation. The following is good:

day, q lniment of camphor, ammonia chloro-
form and aconite, equal parts each The friction

tage of the heat Of the earth. by having
q coop on hillside, or banked up below freezing
depth on three sides. The fourth side should
face to the south and be nearly all glass, that
every portion of tho floor will get the direct
cast upon it, for light is necessary as heat in
fact, the rays of the sun through glass will mod
crate the temperature of a poultry house con-
sderably, when the thermometer is way below
zero outside In the effort to make house for
fowls warm, care must be taken not to stop up
all openings and stop ventilation. Next of i'm
portance, fowls should have something to do to
be kept active, and this can be accomplished
by having plenty of dry dust for them
to walow in. Another thing is to feed
their grain in this dust, straw or other
rubbish, making them scratch, when in the
field for what they get, which will keep the heat
of their bodies up, and keep them in healthy
state As to feed, see that the fowls have gravel
that is not frozen fast. Lime stone pounded up is
the best Give them all the egg-shells, baked
that the kitchen breaks, also bones, burned just
enough to pound up. Feed the offal from the
table in morning, and if not enough, add 80 it
bran or ground oats, all seasoned with pepper,
ginger, onions and the like. Keep by them green
food and meat Wheat rye, buckwheat, oats and
barley, with frequent changes from one to
the other, should be given. Corn has the least
egg producing qualities of any grain, and should
only be fed, if at all, the last Thug in the day,
during cold weather. OF all things named. bran
contains most that goes to make up eggs, but on
account OF its facilitating effect fowls it will
not do for the main food. A short rule is to feed
a little of everything fowls will eat The past
year eggs have ranged higher in price than ever.
and, of course are highest in winter, and with
some attention. as here indicated, and enough
fowls to look to, there is no reason why the
farmer cannot take advantage of this branch and
make it one of his leading incomes.
