IT Is ALSO STATED that another cause
for summoning Rev. DIR. McGlynn to
Rome, is the attitude which he has
maintained on the school question for
nearly twenty years, in opposition to
the wishes and teachings Of the Sow
ereign P0ntiff, and the recommended
ton of the whole Catholic episcopacy
of America. He has not only, it is re.
ported, refused to build parish school
when the matter was optional, but since
the Plenary Council of Baltimore de-
clared this duty to be incumbent upon
every pastor, has stood alone in oppos-
ing the injunction. Complaints were
sent to the Pope several years ago when
he first endorsed Henry Georges views,
but the matter was allowed to drop.
This old score will probably now have
to be settled in connection with the
new trouble.

where our church papers are neg
lected and where our books and period
icals are not read. The most prosper
Gus parishes, on the contrary, are those
where our literature receives a gener-
Gus upport-where the work of the
pastor in the pulpit is supplemented by
the weekly visits of the church journal,
with its messages of instruction, cheer
and sympathy from the fellow believ-
ers in all parts Of the land. The obser-
vations of our friend in regard to the
failure to maintain regular preaching in
the place of his residence are, in view
of all the facts, suggestive to say the
least. The condition of that parish
would not to-day be what it is had the
people given attention to the church
journal of their State, and been edu-
Gated by it into constant and inspiring
love for the church which it represent
ed.
We hope that our friends in other
places where the interest in our cause
is not vigorous, will act upon the hint
given in the remarks of our correspond
emit. The circulation of our church
papers is one of the very best remedies
to apply under such circumstances.
Let the pastor add ten or dozen sub
scriptions to the list of THE UNIvER-
sALIsT, and he will create new inter
est in his parish and pave the way to a
better appreciation of his work in all
departments. The beginning Of new
year is good time to start in on this
kind of parish enterprise. We hope
many of our pastors will profit by the
suggestion.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL HELPER.

Rev. g. l.. Demarest, ID. D., whose du-
ties as Secretary of the General Conven-
ton have increased to such an extent as
to require bis whole time, has on that ac-
count resigned his position as editor of
this periodical. Rev. Robert T. Polk has
been appointed as his successor. He
will give to the position industry, ability
and great faithfulness in the discharge
of his duties and prove worthy success
sor to DR. .Demarest. The following is a
communication from DR.. Demarest:
Thirteen years ago became the editor
of the Sunday School Helper. With the
exception of two years and eight months,
when other minds cared for it, remain
ed at that post until July last, making a
total service in that capacity of nearly
ten years. For the last seven months it
would have been impossible for me to
work out even single lesson, so greatly
has my work as Secretary of the Cen
eral Convention increased. The numbers
for July to December, 1886, were prepar-
by another hand.
1t now becomes necessary for me to
retire finally, with regret, from the posi-
ton Ihave SO long held, through the par
tiality of the Publishing House. The
work has been pleasant to me, even while
it has been exacting. 1t has been lib
eral education for me. i feel grateful to
very many Sunday-school workers for
expressions of their kind consideration,
and to the employees of the House for
much kindness and many favors.
commend my friend and successor,
Rev. Robert T. Polk, of Dorchester, to all
who use the Helper, as fully worthy Of
their most cordial welcome. He is not
new to the work. IT is he who has been
the editor de facto for the last six months
His work has been entirely satisfactory
so far as l have been able to learn upon
much inquiry. May he be as kindly and
favorably considered as it he's been my
good fortune to bel Success to him, to
the Helper, and to the House, and to the
Sunday schools OF our church!

SATURDAY. DECEMBER 10, 1885.

HE PROBABILITY INTIMATED in this
column a few weeks ago, in regard to
Rev. DR.. McGlynn, Of New York, and
his speeches in favor of Henry George,
during the mayoralty canvass in that
city, has come to pass. The eloquent
Roman Catholic orator has fallen under
the ban of his superior, and is ordered
to Rome to explain his utterances to
the Supreme PontIff. There are thou
sands of Roman Catholics all over the
land, not sympathizers with Henry
George or his opinions, who will not
relish this interference with the rights
Of an American citizen. Rev. DR.. Nc
Glynn has the same right to the ex-
preston of his political convictions that
any other citizen has, and Rome only
shows its uprepublican spirit once more
in calling him to account.

Our FRIEND of other years, Mr..
ROBERT MOORE, of Cincinnati, writes:
81 send you these lines to correct the
memorial notice by Br. Pember, who was
not made acquainted with all the facts

mother.

marine and locomotive engines from the

secutive terms, or six years.
The death of the wife occurred on
the 18th day of November, 1886, as stated
by Br. Pember, who officiated at the
funeral, and the closing lines of my I'M

"The service was very impressive, sew

"A Baptist bishop in Wisconsin took
occasion of an invitation to join with
the Methodists in Thanksgiving service

IT WILL BE OBSERVED by the article
in another column on this page, that
Rev. DR.. Demarest resigns the editorial
care of the Helper, and that Rev. Robert
T. Polk has been appointed as his sue
cessor. This change involves also a
new contributor to THE UNIvERsAL-
IsT. Rev. Mr.. Polk will hereafter pre-
pare the regular Sunday school lessons
for this paper. We welcome Br. Polk
in person to our columns. He has been
with us impersonally for some months,
having prepared the lessons since July.
That he will make his department val
liable to our readers we have the very
best of eyidence-his six months ex-
perieDce in the work. The Helper,
under Br. Folks care, will continue to
be valuable auxiliary of our Sunday
school work. He will prove faithful,
intelligent and industrious editor.

ABOUT RABIES.
Popular FalIacies Regarding This Terrible
AH1iction.

Addiction.
There is scarcely single point in con-
nection with the natural history of
rabies on which common opinion is not
at fault. The way in which it arises,
the season at which it is most prevalent,
the class of animals that are prone to it,
the period of its incubation, the symp-
toms by which it makes its presence
known-on these and many other points
the public hold false, and therefore dam
gerous, doctrines. 1t is impossible to
say dogmatically that rabies never orig
mates spontaneously, but nearly all the
facts point the other way, and it is, at
any rate, safe working assumption
that it is invariably the result of infec-
ton from pre-existing rabid animal.
Yet people believe that heat and hunger,
thirst and bad food, and half a dozen
other causes are sufficient in themselves
to send a dog mad. 1t is obvious that
widespread belief of that sort is not the
best ally to the systematic prevention
of the disease. Another vulgar error is
that rabies is most common during the
dog days, a belief which is apt to clap
muzzle on every dog during the heat of
summer, but to leave him free bite at
other seasons. Statistics show. however,
that rabies has not any very marked
preference for one month over the rest,
Or that if it is more common at one sea-
son than another it is the spring rather
than the summer that it affects. OF some
three thousand cases collected by Bouley
a little over twenty-seven per cent. oc-
Cured in the spring, this slightly in
creased prevalence being attributable to
the more angry rivalry and play of
natural weApons incident to that spring
philoprogenitiveness which survives to a
certain extent even in such tame pets as
the lady's lap dog and the laureate's
young man. Hydrophobia is, no
doubt, most prevalent in the SUMMER
fact which is partly traceable to the thin
ner and scantier clothing worn in warm
weather offering less efficient protec-
ton against rabid bite; while, owing
to the long incubation period of the
disease, the greater frequency OF
rabies in the spring naturally determines
a corresponding increase in the fire.
quency of hydrophobia in the summer.
1t is possible, too, that heat may have
some influence in fomenting that spurl-
Gus hydrOphODla or 1atal nefVe-denoiai-
ization which is engendered in unstable
minds by dread of the real disease
Another popular fallacy is that dogs
with now and then a cat) are the only
animals subject to rabies. The fact is
that almost any animal may, and proba-
bly, will, become rabid when bitten by
mad dog. Horses and cattle, sheep and
goats, foxes and wolves, badgers and
skunks, rabbits and fowls, may all have
rabies, and all communicate it to man.
though the rage to bite and the danger
of bite are much more marked in the
carnivora than in other animals. Cats
are less ready to bite than dogs. but
their bite is more fatal. The same is
true of wolves and skunks, the bite of
the latter having proved of recent years
very fatal in Texas. Saturday Rerseao

most abundantly. Travellers assert that
the powers of endurance given by it are
simply wonderful; that with its help the
Peruvian Indians can perform the most
wearisome Journeys or the most difficult
tasks without apparent WEAKNESS,
though eating but little food and often
going for thirty hours without sleep.
Extracts and tinctures made from this
plant have been used to a consid-
cradle extent during the past ten
years by physicians in Europe
and this country, who find its tonic eff
feet useful, but not as noticeable as that
manifested in the native home of the
plant. The uses of the alkaloid, how
ever, are likely to prove far more inn
portant to medicine than the tonic
applications of the tincture. This is
obtained in the form of colorless,
transparent prisms without odor and
bitterness. About two years ago a
German physician called attention to
the fact that solution of cocaine in
hydrochloric acid possesses remarkable
properties as local an9sthetic. 1t
was first tried for this purpose in
ophthalmic surgery, and found most
successful. If few drops of the So
luton are instilled into the eye, the
delicate nerves of sensation become in
few moments quite paralyzed, so that
the most delicate operations may be
performed without discomfort to the
patient. Its use since this discovery
has become quite widely extended, and
it is applied in diseases of the ear
and throat. and also in the re-
moval of tumors, and similar sur
gical cases. AS there are often
cases where the administration of chlor-
oform and ether is attended with serious
peril to the life of the patient, the dis
covery of this thoroughly safe anasthetic
is of great value to medicine, the only
drawback to its general use being the
fact that it is very expensive, and is
therefore frequently adulterated. Though
this is the most important application of
this alkaloid, it has also of late been
found valuable for other uses. 1t has
been found to have much healing prop
erty when applied to ulcers and diseased
membranes, as those of nasal passages
in catarrh. 1t has also been used, in
dilute form, as an internal remedy in
cases attended with severe pain, as acute
neuralgia. But though it is a powerful
sedative, its use in this manner is to be
deprecated, because attended with seri-
Gus danger unless administered with the
utmost precaution, under the direction
of a competent physician. Chicago

A NEW SCREW-DRIVER.
An Invention Which Will Materially As.
sist the Missionaries.

An Invention Which Will Materially As.
sist the Missionaries.
There is always something new in the
world. One of the latest new things is
screw-driver. Years ago a wise man
said there were two things which even
a Yankee could not improve upon, and
they were a screw-driver and woman.
But the Yankee has knocked the wise
mans prophecy higher than Gilderoy SO
far as the screw-driver part of the
proposition is concerned. With the old
time screw-driver you felt around and
steadied yourself about five minutes and
found something to brace against while
trying to get the drivers blade in the
notch of the screw. Then you smiled
and gave twist or two, when slip
went the tool, and your knuckles col
lided with the screws head.
In three or four minutes you
succeeded in readjusting the implement,
gave another twist or two to the handle,
became over-confident, worked too
eagerly and bent the screw out of posi-
ton. After one or two more trials you
got mad, flung the screw-driver into the
coal-hod and took the hammer and
pounded the blank thing in. But with
the new screw-driver you do not do it
that way. You put the blade of the
driver in its proper place, steady YOUR
self, and press down. The pressure on
the handle revolves the driver, and the
first thing you know the screw is home,
and you are surprised to find it there
without one break or a single crossword.
A mechanical rig in the handle of the
tool revolves the blade of the driver by
pressure, and it can't get out of order.

that cling to the old ways. He has &C
