We offer no apology for devoting so much time
and attention to this much neglected class OF
diseases, believing that no condition of human
best services of the profession to which we be-
long, as many are innocent sufferers, and that
TO relieving the amicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less a
philanthrophist and a benefactort to his race
than the surgeon or physician who by close ap-
plication eXcels IN any other b anch of his pro-
fession. And, fortunately for humanity the day
Is dawning when the false philanthropy that
condemned the victims of folly or crime, like
the lepers under the Jewish law, TO die upcared
for, has passed away.

Persons on the outlook for odd things
III the way of foot gear have something
new in leather in what is called by the
trade kordofan. This is really horse hide,
a small part of the skin from the rump Of
each animal being available for the shoes.
1t is said to be pleasant to wear, and to
last forever or whereabouts. The supply
comes from the wild horses of South
America and from the zebra and quaggia
of Asia. The demand is not yet SO ex-
tensive as to threaten the determination

Ice Water in EraziI.

The use of ice water in this country is
universal, said an old doctor. but in
Rra2il it is but little used. It was
thought that a factory for producing arti
fetal ice would be very profitable there,
vEere the temperature is very high. An
English syndicate constructed the neces-
scry works, but found that the natives
would net touch ice water. Then. to
tempt their palates by creating an p
tito Tor it by constant use, the company
plGced free tanks of ice water upon the
street corners of the cities. 1t was a
novel plan, and the fruits of the invest
ment are being borne. The use of ice
water is increasing, but it is not yet a
universal beverage."-Chicago Herald.

How Men Die.

If we know all the methods of ap-
proaeh adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
Of the body suffices to enable it to op-
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of a Cough,
Cold or any trouble of the Throat or
Luugs, give that old and wellknown
remedy-Boschee's German Syrup, a
careful trial. 1t will prove what
thousands say OF it to be, the "bene:
factor of any home"

THE REVIVAL MEETINGS.

Ross opera house contained large
mixed assembly of church goers and
non church attendants on Sunday
afternoon and evening assembled to
listen to Messrs. Studd and Burke,
the revivslists, who are announced as
the forerunners OF the widely famed
Dwight L. Moody. The exercises on
both occasions commenced with q
half hours praise service, led by Mr..
Burke, assisted by a large choir of
home talent, Miss Nellie Flavel pre-
siding at the organ. Mr.. Burke is an
accomplished leader and has an ex-
cellent tenor voice; the beautiful solos
he rendered were listened to with wrapt
attention and had the occasion war
ranted it would have called forth
loud applause from the delighted au-
dience. The distinct enunciation and
manifest feeling displayed in the ut-
terance OF the words he sung was
equivalent to sermon. After prayer,
offered by one Of the local clergy, Mr..
Studd read a passage of scripture,
and after the singing of another
gospel song proceed to address those
present on the subject of salvation by
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Mr..
Studd makes no attempt at sensation
alism, but with calm earnestness and
evident heartfelt interest and sincerity
endeayors to strengthen the faith of
believers, and to urge them to show
their faith by their works; and then
by heart searching warnings and ap-
peals to the careless and Indifferent
as well as to pronounced unbelievers,
he strives hard but affectionately to
fasten upon their minds such impres.
sions as he hopes by the blessing of
God will lead them to repent of their
sins and seek for salvation. An after
meeting was held in the evening at
which many remained. At the close
OF the evening service, Mr.. Studd an
nounced the meeting on Monday eve.
n1ng would be held in Liberty Hall,
owing to the opera house being other
wise engaged. To-day there will be
meeting for bible reading, conduct
ed by Mr.. Studd at 8 o'clock in the
Baptist church, and a general meet
ing in the evening at the opera house
to be preceded by half hour song
service to commence at seven'o'clock.
