Faith Healing.

Rev. DR.. J. NJ. Buckley contributes
to the Century a very entertaining as
we'll as exhaustive article on this sub
iect. His studies and personal investi-
cations of occult phenomena have been
known for many years. These make
him singularly able in grouping facts
and obtaining conclusions which might
be beyond the reach of ordinary
observers and students. His interviews
with the miracle-working quacks, Drs.
Newton and Bryant, are thoroughly
characteristic of this class of operators.
DR.. Buckley's conclusions accord
with the intelligent judgment of the
Christian community. They are in
some respects more favorable to the
genuineness of the claims of the Faith
Healers than is common among those
who do not sympathize with their
teaching and methods. But his analysis
results in a satisfactory explanation OF
of all that is presented to the world as
miraculous at Roman Catholic shrines
and Protestant prayer meetings.
In all cases of illness of every kind
where the cure is mainly dependent OF
the action of the will or spirit, the
operation of powerful faith will sup
ply a force which is not only essentia
but efectual. These cases are more
numerous than we think, and without
special impulses they are usually hope
less cases. 1t is a popular delusior
that such cases are merely nervous, o.
rather the uninstructed know very lit
tie about the nature and extent of tn,
sphere called nervous. DR.. Buckle,
calls the formula in its lowest form
concentrated attention" +" to which j
added reverence and confident expeC
fancy. and in these he finds all. tn
requisites for all modern miracles.

ly offered in ignorance, namely: We
are throwing away our votes when we
vote for candidates whom we know
cannot be elected. This f1imsy excuse
ought to have made its author ashamed
to repeat it long ago. Suppose we do
not hope to elect the present reform
candidates of a recently organized re-
form party, would that prove it un-
wise to vote for them? Do Republi-
cans of to-day think it was unwise for
Sumner, Wilson, Geddings, Chase and
many other honored names to vote
for VanBuren and Adams in 1848, for
Hale and Julian in 1852, or for Free
mont in 1856? None of these were
elected, and it is equally true that
Abraham Lincoln would not have
been elected in 1860 had it not been for
the party organization and the hard
toll of the faithful few of former years.
Let it be remembered that the
American voter never throws away his
vote so long as he casts it for the prin-
ciple of right, and when he fails to do
this he not only throws away his vote
but loses his manhood in the act. Let
us always vote for God, home and
country, and let us each recognize the
fact that we are American voters and
proud of our rights guaranteed us by
the privilege of our elective franchise
and let our solitary vote, standing
alone to represent a principle, be the
proudest act of our lives.

California Wheat.

The wheat harvest in California be-
gan on the last week in May, and will
not be ended before the middle of this
month. The San Francisco Bulletin,
after giving widely varying estimates
of the probable yield, says:
1--WE are disposed to believe in crop
of 100000 tons, but we can readily
find others who are equally we'll posted
who will raise that figure from $4,000
to 25O,OOO TONS"
California, then, is to send to market
an immense crop of wheat. The other
wheat growing sections promise at
least fair yield. There is a general
feeling through the country that there
is to be revival of business this fall,
the signs of which are to be found, it is
thought, in the improvement in iron.
The economy which has been exer-
cised of late years leads inevitably to a
brisk demand for staple articles in the
near future, if there shall be the ability
to pay for them, and with good harvests
the farmers will have abundant means
to purchase and pay.

The popular idea that hog cannot
hurt itself by Over-feeding is erroneous.
Even in fattening, it is better to give
only what can be eaten up clean at one
time and at regular intervals. If the
feeding occurs at stated times each day,
the hogs lie down and sleep in the in
tervals, and this will fatten them faster
and be more healthful than keeping
food before the animals all the time. A
mass of partially-eaten food left in his
trough is distasteful, even to the hog,
and makes him eat less in quality and
with less relish than he otherwise
would Exchange.

A man whose early opportunities for
learning were few and far between, re-
ceived a letter the other day from a
young college student wherein he spoke
of the Lares and Penates of the house

classical allusion for some time, and
could make nothing out of it, but
finally burst forth as follows: "What

Natural Gas Versus Coal.

The use of natural gas in the manu-
factories of Pittsburg has done away
with the consumption of 1S9, $50 bushels
of coal day. In 25O working days,
which is considered year by manufac-
turers, the whole amount of coal dis
placed would run up to Al, ,45O, 900
bushels, Calculating 100 bushels TO be

Mr.. Disraeli appealed to the 0Oun-
try in 1868 and was defeated with
terrible slaughter. Mr.. Gladstone met
with the same experience in 1874 after
six years of extraordinary legislative
activity. Lord Beaconsfeld was con-
fident of success in 1880 when Parlia-
ment was dissolved, but the country
repudiated his policy. Lord Salisbury
had no better luck last year; and now
Mr.. Gladstone has made his second
unsuccessful appeal to the constituent
cies as Prime Minister. Not once in
twenty years has the Government Of

election. No wonder that a ministry

with "round turn" Otherwise the
chances are best in those occupations
not requiring the use of tools or ma
terials, and with the exception of writ
ing exacting, no years of training for
hand skill. Therefore, as much skill
coupled with learning can be found in
them as out of them, and for that rea-
son they should have the first trial
with boys who have scored high in ad-
vanced school studies, because those
studies conform to the purpose for
which they were instituted and end by
the pOssessor's material advancement.
And certainly this should be preferred
to cOnsigning boy not only to years
of drudgery but to oblivion, as can be
done by placing him with any one of
the hand or producing trades. And
then as to pay, the scope of none of
these hand trades permits of salaries
being paid ranging from 50 900 to 50, 600
per year as is paid in the producing
callings, although the fact intrudes it.
