At Congress Hali-The Lame Throw
Their Clutches Away.

The mysterious healing of the sick by the lay
ing on of the hands every morning, from 10 to IL

mt from his powerful magnetic touch. For the
past two mornings some of the most startling eff
fects have been produced by the laying on of
hands ever witnessed in the city of Portland
Yesterday morning an old gentleman, n years of
age, went upon the stage, who had been great
sufferer for the past nine years from Sciatca and
from rheumatism in his hips and legs. He was
so stiff and lame that ne could scarcely walk. In
less than five minutes from the time that DIR.
Smith commenced treating him he was walking
around the stage without the use of his cane. An
other old gentleman, who was suffering from the
same complaint, was treated by DIR. Smith. and
after receiving the treatment the old gentleman
Strengthened himself up and walked around the
stage thanking God and the doctor for the great
benefit he had received. He stated to the audi
ence that he felt like young man, and said he
had not felt so well in years. A lady went upon
the stage who suffered from deafness, and after
receiving one magnetic treatment she could hear
watch tick. A lady who suffered from catarrh
and dyspepsia received immediate relief. The

LETTING A CHURCH pseT.

How Mark Twain Once Worked the
"Conddential Subscription Plan.
'Did you hear how Mark Twain lifted a
church debtf
eNo; l didn't know that that was il his
line. When and how did he do itF
1T was at the time the Rev. T. X. Beecher
was building hs large church at Elmira,
where Mark was living at the time. He
wrote up the plan on which Beecher was do
ing it. a church in town on the Hudson
river had debt Of $4,000, and a treasurer
happened to come across the account Of
Marks. At the next meeting Of the church
board he told the brethren Of it, He said
there was no telling whether it was told fora
fact Or as joke, for he always thought
Mark was joking when he was telling tn,
truth, and serious when he was joking. At
any rate he thought it was worth trying. So
he sent ont letters to every member of the
church to send him by a certain date what he
or she thought was his or her portion OF the
debt, giving as the Lord had prospcred them,
no matter how much or how little. They
were asked to give not according as others
might give, but to leave the matter entirely
with their own conscience and with God
They werc not to communicate the amount
they gave to anybody, except the pastor
1.-THE result was astonishing. Persons that
never had given anything to the church re-
sponded promptly and generously Parties
that had always given grudgingly and mea-
gerly gave astonishly large sums. When the
date fixed for arrived, the whole amount
asked for was in the hands of the treasurer,
and no ono, except the treasurer, pastor and
donor knew what anybody had given. The
plan called tho confidential subscription
plan was based on the true law Of giving
and was a gratifying success. But it is not
known to this day whether Mark Twain was
in earnest OF joking when he wrote about
the debt raising. New York Press.

Malaria was comparatively unknown today
it is as common as any word in the English
language yet this word covers only the

cover what our grandfathers called bilious

arise from diseased condition Of the Liver

Bangala on board the people flock down to

Trick Of a nurmesc Contractor.

The aid Of the women of the country was
called into requisiton by sharp Burmese
contractor during the annexation of Upper

supplying the troops with certain articles Of
food procurable in the country during the
advance and occupation. Among the articles
TO be supplied daily by him was milk for the
mems breakfasts. On several occasions the
lacteal fluid was observed to have a very
peculiar appearance, being Of a hluish tiat
and much thinner than it ought to be, al
though the taste Of it was very sweet, A
board Of c-'cers was therefore appointed to
investigate the matter and report to the COM
