GERMAN USE OF TURPENTINE-An ar
ricle in the t,geskrW for Ledger describes
DIR. Vliandt's successful use of oil of tur-
pentlne in the treatment and prophylaxis Of
diphtheria and kindred diseases. He states
that he has never seen any OF these diseases
spread from sick child to other members
of the family when this remedy was en-
ployed. His method is to pour from TWEEN
ty to forty drops of a mixture of equal part $
of turpentne and carholic acid into kettle
Of water, which is kept simnering over a
slow fire, 80 that the air of the sick room is
constantly impregnated with the odor OF
these two substances. A favorable influence
IS also exerted BY this means upon the ex.
udation in diphtheria, although it is not at
all curative of the disease.

Poetry.
Through the Cloud.
by SUSAN COOLIDGE.

ny SUSAN COOLIDGE.
The morning WAS chill and misty
And white and drifting veil
Hid all the mountain passes
And the elm-fringcd intervale.
We gazcd in puzzled wonder.
Aud looked 10 the left and the right.
For il seemed that some spell had seized the
world
And had changed it during the night
Wa there ever a mountain Wonder:
We asked, or pine-clad stream!
or red-gold trees in the hollow:
or were all these things a dream:
Then suddenly n We questioned
The mist turned thin aud blue.
And up in the far high heaven
mountain outline grew.
Like vision il CLEANED aud vanished.
But its bcckon was seen and caught.
And one peak after another
FLASHED out with the speed Of thought;
And the mist wrca,h> floatcd higher.
And drified of one by one.
And the wet. green autumn meadows
>hone out IN the yellow sun;
And the scarlet and dun Of the hii-dc-
Had borrowed frc>hrr hue.
And the purple gate Of the notch swung
wide.
And a pink cloud foaici through
And l thought of some heavy hearted ones

THE attitude of Secretary Whitney in
the matter of the Roach contract may be
stated ia brief to be: First, the contract
is null and void as declared by the
attorney-general; second, the contract
has been forfeited because the cruisers
have not been completed; third, by the
terms of the contract, which is void and
forfeited, the secretary has power to de-
clare the contract null; fourth, the
contract, which was irregularly executed
and is, therefore, void, and which is
forfeited because the stipulation as to
time was not observed and which the
secretary declares null on other grounds,
must be carried out at Roach's yards and
Roach's bondsmen held for any losses
that may accrue to the government in
carrying cut the terms of the null and
void contract. This may be reform, but
it looks like lunacy.

A m1Iksop is defined by an exchange

A mlIksop is defined by an exchange
as one who goes to school but learns
nothing. He is given expense We tuition
in dancing, music, languages, painting,
fencing, rowing and boxing; but he be.
comes expert in nothing except smoking
drinking, driving fairish horses and
attending dubious nightly gatherings of
sharper fellows with less money. He
becomes butt for ridcule among those
who wheedle his idle dollars away in
mild vice and he rapidly learns the ways
of depravity. His brain, dormant al
ways, goes firmly to sleep and takes on a
fxity of repose which is never to be
disturbed. His instincts become dictator
to his habits and his habits become his
memorable master.
WHAT WE ARE INDEBTED TO THE
SOUTH FoR.-There appears in our col
umns to day the advertisement of the
well-known (and universally used in the
southern states) Simmons Liver Regulator
Years ago it won its way into every
household of the south by pure, sterling
merit. 1t there takes the place of a
doctor and costly prescriptions. The

the north, and wherever used the demand
for it has steadily increased. 1t is a
family medicine, containing no dangerous
or deleterious qualities. but purely vege
table, and so gentle in its action that it
can be safely given TO any person, no
matter what age-the centenarian or the
growing youngster. Working people are
often in that miserable state of health
which really renders them unfir for labor;
but they haven't time to take medicine
and be sick. Simmons Liver Regulator
can be taken without causing any loss of
time, and the system will be built up
and inyigorated by it. The Regulator
promotes digestion, dissipates nasty sick
headache, and gives strong, full tone to
the system. In malarious climates it is
invaluable, both protecting attack from
the disease and expelling the poison after
it has entered the system. 1t has no
equal as a preparatory medicine, and
can be safely used when a doctor cannot
he called in. Persons of the very highest
character and emnence have given
Simmons Liver Regulator their cordial
and hearty endorsement.

Scenes at a Great campaigning In Ken-
lucky In 1899.
Two young men began the work in tho
summer of 1899. They were brothers.
preachers, and on their way across the
pine barrens to Ohio, but turned aside
to be present at a sacramental solemni-
ty on Red River. The people were
accustomed to gather at such times on
Friday, and by fasting, and praying.
and singing, and hearing sermon,
prepare themselves for the re-
ception of the sacrament OF
Sunday. At the Red River
meeting the brothers were asked to
preach, and one did SO with astonishing
fervor. AS he spoke the people were
deeply moved, tears ran streaming
down their faces, and one, a woman
far in the rear of the house, broke
through order and began to shout.
For two hours after the regular
preachers had gone the crowd fingered,
and were loath to depart. While they
tarried one of the brothers were irresist-
IDLY compelled to preach. He rose and
told them that he felt called to preach;
that he could not be silent. The words
which then fell from his lips aroused
the people before him to "pungent
sense of SIM" Again and again the
woman shouted, and would not be 81
lent. He started to 90 to her. The
crowd begged him to turn back
Something within him urged him on,
and he went through the house shout
ing and exhorting and praising God.
In a moment the floor to use his
own words, was covered with

mercy were terrible to hear. Some
found forgiveness, but many went away

Element along the Green River and the
Cumberland was full of religious fervor.
Men fitted their wagons with beds and
provisions, and travelled fifty miles to
camp upon the ground and hear him
preach. The idea was new, hundreds
adopted it, and camp-meetings began.
At the Cane Ridge meeting 20, 600 were
encamped. The excitement surpassed
anything that had been known. Men
who came to scott remained to preach,
All day and all night the crowd
swarmed to and fro from preacher to
preacher, singing, shouting, laughing,
now rushing off to listen to some new
exhorter who had climbed upon q
stump, now gathering around some I'M

guage, was spiritually slain" Soon
men and women fell in such numbers
that it became impossible for the multi
tude to move about without trampln2
them, and they were hurried to the
Westinghouse. At no time was the
floor less than half covered. Some lay
quiet, unable to move or speak. Some
talked, but could not move. Some
beat the floor with their heels. Some
shrieking in agony, bounded about, il
is said, like live fish out of water
Many laid down and rolled over fol-
hours at time. Others rushed wildly
over the stumps and benches, and then
plunged, shouting Lost! lostn' into
