BLOOD POISON

Is very liable to follow contact OF the
hands Or face with what is known as
poison ivy, especially in hot weather or
if the body is perspiring freely. The
trouble may subside for time, only to
appear i'll aggravated form when oppor-
tunity offers. The great purifying pow
ere of Hoods Sarsaparilla thoroughly
eradicates every trace of poison from the
blood, as the cures it has accomplished
conclusively show. 1t also cures scrofula
salt rheum and all other affections aris-
ing from impure or poisoned blood.

On Sunduy morning, about 11:30, a
boy named Metzgar whose first name
could not be ascertained, was struck by
lightning and instantly killed at New
Munich. The boy who was about12
years OF age was herding cattle near the
New Munich mill, when the bolt struck
him on the top of the head, crushing
its way through the skull and coming
out below the chin. The boy presented
horrible appearance as he lay on the
ground after the electric fluid had finished
it's deadly work. The flesh was not
badly rnutilated but it was blackened by
the force OF the shock, and every thread
of clothing was torn from the body. His
clothes were scattered about and all
were found with the exception of one
boot which disappeared at effectually as
though the earth had opened up and
swallowed it. This would indicate that
the force of the shock was something
terrific. The boys parents live near
New Munich.-Times.

From the report of the japanese
Railway Bureau for the past year,
which has just appeared, it would
seem that, rapidly as it is progressing,
railway construction in that country
has to meet unusual difficulties, or
rather an unusual number of difficult
ties, owing to the physical geography
of Japan, One line of 205 miles in
length involves the construction of
ten tunnels, 10000 feet long, and the
bridging of IL rivers. One of these
has velocity in time of food of p
feet per second, and in another the
brick piers have to be sunk to depth
of so feet. A range at mountains is
crossed at hight of 146S feet. Part
of another line ascends to hight OF
3I44 feet, and during FIVE months of
the year work is rendered impossible
by the snow, and sometimes in the
summer months an epidemic of cholers
has the same effect Engineering.

SPIRITUALISM.

Prof. Huxley, in long article in
the Pail Mall Gazette, thoroughly ex-
poses the tricks of an American spir-
itualistlc medium. Following are the
closing paragraphs of the article:
When I am told that certain of my
contemporaries, justly esteemed in
science and literature, believe in spr-
itualism, can but reflect that certain
other persons OF that day, most I'M
questionably not in any respect less
worthy of consideration, believed in
witchcraft and demoniacal posses
sion. Kepler had faith in astrology;
Descartes made a pilgrimage to Lo-
retto; all the learning and acuteness
of Henry More did not prevent him
from enthusiastically backing anoth-
er very acute and accomplished per-
son; Granville, in his battle for the
truth of the silly story about the
'sDeamon of the Tedworth"--as silly
a story as any to be found in the rec
ords OF "spiritualism." If | decline
not only to believe in astrology on
the authority of Kepler: in the gen.
uineness of the Palestinian house
which flew to Loretto on that of Des-
cartes; in the Deamon OF Tedworth
on that of Glanvil and More; but
even to allow that the favorable opin-
ion of these eminent men makes out
prima facie case for these beliefs
it does not seem to me that am
wanting IN due respect to Messrs. A.,
b and e, who are surely not the su-
periors of Kepler, Descartes and
More, il, for the same reasons, / at
tach no greater weight on their au-
thority, in pari materia.
No one deserves much blame for
being deceived in these matters. We
are all intellectually handicapped in
youth by the incessant repetition OF
the stories about possession and witch
craft in both the Old and the New
Testaments. The majority of us are
taught nothing which will help us to
observe accurately and to interpret
observations with due caution. Very
few of us have the least conception
how much more difficult it is to make
: such observations and interpretation
Y in room full OF people, stirred BY
] the expectations of the marvellous
1 than in the calm seclusion of labo
A ratory or the solitude of tropica
s forest. And one who has not triet
o it cannot imagine the strain OF thu
d mind involved in sitting for an hou
b or two in dark room, on the watol
@ for the lodges of a wary "medium.
