The favorits sbeat" of the ghost Is
usually the spot where he died. Hence,
In order 10 keep him At least from tho
house, the Ksflirs carry q sick man
out Into the open air to die, and the
Maoris used tn remove the sick into
sheds. II q Kafar or Maori died DO

traces In Greece, Rome aud China OF
this custom of carrying dying psrsons

all precautions, mako his way back
from the grave, steps were taken 10

Thus, In some parts at Russia and
East Prussia an AK or lock In laid on

all the doors and windows are shut,
whereas, 30 long rs the holy is still In
the house, TAO windows (and aome-
times the desrs) are left constantly
open to allow the soul TO escape. In
some parts Of England every bolt and

Lesceide's business to pick up his hat

IN glancing hurricdly at tho improve
nents made in tho Town of Laurcns in
the way of buildings, during the past
year, we find that Mt least cighty-scven
dwellings, have been erected. Among
these we have elegant buildings of brick,
wood, and 20 ncrete, and many of them
IShrge, substantial buildings. In most
owns that are built up rapidly, the
Houses are poorly constructed and not
finished as they should be. Not so with
EUR own These houses are well built,
comfortable Vvcll-arrangcd, modern plan
md In most instances finished off by
being neatly painted.
In addition to this, thirteen store
rooms have either becn completed or
commcnccdduring tho past year. These
stores arc far superior to the average
houses in country town. Strangerssvho
come to Laurcns arc invariably sur
Iprised Mt tho appearance of our business

Our Sentiments.

At Waco, Texas, Senator Coke
used the following language, which
has the ring Of truth about it:
".Ah, my fellow-men, whenever
yOrf preachers go into politics,
why scOurge them back. [Cheers.
Our fOrefathers were driven to
this country seeking freedom of
conscience against the prosecutions
Of State religion, and shall we now
combine Church and State? God
forbid that we should. [Cries of
"No, no,"l The worse sign of the
times that L can perceive Is to be
found In the delivery Of stump
speeches on the holy Sabbath day
from Gods' pulpit. Loud cheers.(
Give us the Bible i'm Its purity, give
us the gospel as 1t came to us from
the inspired fathers of old Let 1t
be taught and proclaimed in our
Sunday schools and churches. Let
there bo sanctuaries where we can
go and enjoy peace and immunity
from the turmoils and strifes of the
world. Deplorable as has been the
use of liquor, the church run by the
State, or the State run by the
church, mas sized more blood, made
more widows and orphans, more
rags and tatters, more starvation
and want, more human woe and
misery forty times over, than all
the liquor ever distilled by man."
