conduct of their party had been so
horrible that they could not afford to
shoulder the responsibility of endors-
ing such a state of affairs. The party
was and is placed upon record in Ohio
as a forger, and to avoid endorsing
this, the representatives lit cut. These
Democrats also swore to obey the Con-
stitution of the State, and when their
party required them to attempt to de-
feat legal election by throwing out
duly elected men and putting in the
defeated candidates, they kicked. The
runaway Senators are better than
their party. Myers told them to go

There are many ways of economic
ing in this prohigate world of ours,
and it is often deemed necessary on
the part Of humankind to draw in on
the expenditures, In order to make
both ends meet This is especially
true sometimes in church matters 1t
is, in fact, often the case that some
religious communities will risk being
called mean, in the matter of support
ing the gospel agencies. But we be-
Heve the brightest piece Of economy
we have heard of is that told by our
young friend Evan Lewis, of the expe-
rience of an old preacher he knew of
years ago. This minister had been
shabbily treated, and poorly paid. in a
neighborhood in which he had been
riding circuit for long time, and
when he went to another charge, gave
a glowing description of his treatment
on the former circuit. It was custom
ary then, as now, for some family to
enjoy the great honor Of entertaining
the preacher, on his periodical visit.
In the community the neighbors
banded together, took up collection,
and purchased large soup-bone, cost
ing perhaps fifteen cents. When the
preacher came around, the soup-bone
was boiled with much show of hospi-
tality, and sumptuous meal prepared.
On the next visit, the preacher had
soup at another house, and found that
the same bone had been passed along.
And thus it went around-the family
that was to have the preacher would
go after the soup-bone, and the one
bone actually lasted longer on the dis
trict than the preacher did. The
preacher never forgot that old soup
bone, and gave the district the name
of the ''soup-bone district" And it is
fact that there are good many
soup-bone Christians still living in the
world. lie there is any good to be
gotten out of the minister's labors
they are willing to appropriate it to
their own use, but only aim to toss
him bone in return.

Electrical Cremation.

An electrical crematory is said to
have been devised by a process described
as follows: The body, being shroudcd
in sheets made Of asbestos, is laid upon
q frame composed of friedrich, while
at the head and foot + large copper
plates, to which the leads from special
reconstructed dynamoso of large electro
motive force are attached. The body
apparently occupies the position Of the
tilament in an incandescent lamp, and,
upon the current being passed through
it, would be instantly carbonized;
while, as the air w%ouldhave free access
to it, the process of destruction, or
rather decomposition, would be inn
mediate. The process appears to have
the recommendation of great rapidity
of action, and freedom from many of
the objections to cremation in the ordi-
nary way, and admits Of several little
improvements upon all recognized
forms of burial.-DetroI Free Press.

A CHINESE CLAIM.
Ancient Books Relating to tho Alleged
Discovery of America by Fu-Sane.

DAoSoSSTS VI fAHtlcFlCN Nv FusSAnSs
An ingenious argument has recently
been published urging the claims of
the Chinese to be the discoveries of
America. The books of ancient Chinese
historians are now in existence which
describe a country called Fu-Sang,
visited by Buddhist priests about A. D.
500.
The accounts of the people, products,
etc, OF this flowery land show it to be
Mexico. The same voyagers brought
home reports of a fog-boum country
which, SO it is supposed, was Alaska.
Maps exist in China over a thousand
years old in which the coast-line of
America from California to Alaska is
vaguely indicated.
De Guignes holds that America was
first pcopled, ages before the visit of
the Buddhist priests, by Arc;nris, who
passed across TO Alaska by boats, or on
the ice, during long winters. AS IL
proof of the ready communication be-
tween the two continents, he cites an
account from Charlevoir of the mission
airy Pcre Grellon, who preached in the
wilderness of the Northwest and was
afterwards sent to Tartary. There he
met a Huron woman whom he had
known in Canada. She was Il slave to
Cinnamon who had brought her across
Behring Straits.
Every school-boy is now familiar
with the proofs that Erik the Red
crossed from Iceland to Greenland, in
A. d. 9S6, and that Left, one of his
comrades, visited the Southern coasts.
The old dispute among school-boys
as to the relative honors due to Column
bus and Vespucius are mild. compared
to the fierce battle of antiquarians con-
corning the claims of these ancient
voyagers.
After all, it concerns us much less to
determine whether a Chinaman. an
Italian, or a Scandinavian first discov-
cred America, than to know how the
Cinnamon, Swcdes, Italians and An.
glo Saxons who arc in it now will con.
duct themselves.
Men of every ice have met here in
the sight of the world to decide whether
men, disregarding all distinctions Of
rank. of wealth and even of education.
can govern themselves by common
sense, truth, moderation and religion
or whether they will become slaves tc
