the road about half way between Orange

human bones that have been lying there ex-
posed to the elements for many years. The
fact Of their being there was well known TO
the early settlers. as well as the one who
left them there to bleach. About twenty
years ago one who can be called Brown,
living in Orange county, stole lot OF hogs.
To get rid Of the main witness against him,
boy about II years old, he went to the
home of the boy one night, and, putting his
hand through a chink in the logs, felt of
the heads of the sleeping children
until he found the right one. and
then blew his head open with a
shotgun. He was captured but while
awaiting trial escaped and came 20 this
county. where he was followed by the boys
father and a friend, who overlook him near
the Clifton settlement and started back TO
Orange county with him, but in the night
he gave them the slip and was not found
until the afternoon next day, when he was
discovered near this bay head. 1t is not
definitely known how he met his death, but
the friend said that the father ordered him
TO surrender, and when he did not, but
started to run, he was shot down and his
body hid in the bushes. No investigation
was made, but retributative justice finally
overlook the murderer, as he died by the
hands of an assassin few years ago. The

thinking the day of judgment was at hand.

Jewish scholars of modern times have
not neglected the subject, and in the dis
cussions which have been published from
time to time opinions seem to be evenly
divided. If there be any preponderance
of authority in any direction it is GER
tainly not against cremation. The cues
ton of Immortality has clearly no right
to be introduced into the discussion.
Whether the body slowly crumble away
into dust or be more quickly resolved BY
quicklime, as was frequently the case in
the days of body snatchers, or be almost
simultaneously turned into ashes, is
clearly a matter of degree. The real
question Is as to our feelings with regard
to the various methods. The practice of
thousands of years has mitigated the hor-
rors of interment, while the novelty of
cremation gives a shock to the feelings
at the suddenness of thus resolving u
bodies n their primordial elements.
nat is a matter of feeling, not of
religion. AT the same time a matter of
feeling is so far a matter of religion that
1t Is irreligious to hurt any ones feelings
unnecessarily. If science declares en-
phatically in favor of cremation, we shall
learn to resign ourselves to it. Whether
the dust returns to earth by slow decay
or by the speedy action of fire is not of
momen from a religious point of view,
provided we are convinced that the
Esprit returns unto God who gave it,

Something About Hydrophobia.

We warn u readers that they need
never expect to cure'a patient supposed
to have hydrophobia, if they watch him
very closely, expose him at a public clinic,
offer him water, inject morphine and
choral into him, and, above all, if they
add the administration of curare to these
measures. A careful study of the litera-
ture of hydrophobia shows that morphia,
choral and curare-drugs recommended
in most of the books-are useless and
probably dangerous, given, as they usu-
ally are, in cases called hydrophobia. Let
our readers take note that ~hydrophobia
does not seem able to bear the face of
skepticism; that it disappears where it is
not talked about; that it flourishes where
1t is cultivated, as in France, and does not
exist among savages and unenlightened
people. And let them sift carefully any
case which seems like hydrophobia, as to
its history and symptoms; let them
eschew violence of act or of medication
/ n treating it, and see what the result
will be.-Philadelphia Medical and Sur
gical Record.

Two Ways. Choose Which.

There are two usual ways of doing what
nature sometimes does incompletely,
namely, to relieve the bowels. One is to
swallow a drastic purgative which evacu-
ates profusely, abruptly and with pain,
the other is to take Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the effect of which is not violent,
but sufficiently thorough, and which does
not grippe the intestines. If the
first is selected, the person en-
ploying it need not expect perma-
nent benefit, and he cannot hope
to escape the debilitatlng reaction which
leaves the organs as bad or worse off than
before. If, on the other hand, he resorts
to the Bitters, he can rely upon the re-
storation of a regular habit of body, con-
sequent upon a renewal of a healthful
tone in the intestinal canal. Besides
beautifully relaxing the bowels, the Bit
tiers arouses a dormant liver, imparts a
beneficial impetus to the action of the
kidneys, and counteracts the early twinges
of rheumatism, a tendency to govt, and
malaria in all its forms.
