John Wesley on sDemoniacal Possession.
In England the same warfare went on.
John Locke. had asserted the truth, but
/ the theological view continued to control
public opinion. Most prominent among
those who exercised great power against
the truth was John Wesley, and the
greatness and beauty Of his: character
Smede his influence in this respect all the
NOR oIsn,,sfQr rtunate. The same seryitude
to the,mere letter Of scripture which led
! him to declare that .s'to give mp witch
craft Is to give UP t6eS Bible and to take
ground against the fundamental truths
of theology, controlled him in regard to
insanity. He insisted, the authority
OF the Old Testament, that bodily diseases
are sometimes caused by devils, and upon
the authority of the New Testament, that
the gods Of the heathen were demons; he
believed that dreams, while in some cases
caused BY bodily conditions and passions,
are shown by scripture to be also caused
by occult powers Of evil; he cites ply
Ssician to prove that "most 1unatics are
really demoniacs." !"
In hist great sermon on "Evil Angels, :"
he dwells upon this point especially; re-
ssists the idea that Possession" may be
epilepsy, even though ordinary symp-
toms Of epilepsy be present; protests
against giving up to infdels such proofs
OF an invisible world as are to be found
in diabolic possession" and evidently be-
lieves that some who have been made
hysterical by his own preaching are
possessed Of Satan" On all this, and
much moro to the same effect, be In
sisted with all the power given to him
by bis deep religious nature, his wonder
full familiarity with the Scriptures, his
natural acumen, and his eloquence.
But here, too, science continued its
work. The old belief was steadily un-
dermined, ON atmosphere favorable to
The truth became more and more de-
Yeloped, and the act Of parliament in
s1785, which banished the crime Of witch
craft from the statute book, was the be-
ginning Of the end.-Andrew d. White

WHY TITS COLD ON THE MOUNT
AIMS.

Go into a greenhouse on s1nshiny
day, and we find the temperature there
much hotter there than outside. The
glass will allow the hot sunbeams to en-
ter, but it refuses to let them out again
with equal freedom, and consequently
the temperature rises. Our whole earth
is in this way to be ikened to green
house, only, instead of the panes Of
glass, we are enveloped by an enormous
coating of atmosphere. When we are
on the earth's surface we are, as it were,
inside the greenhouse, and we benefit
by the interposition of the atmosphere;
but when we begin to climb very high
mountains we gradually get through
the atmosphere and then we suffer from
the cold. If we could imagine the
earth to be stripped of its coat of air,
then eternal frost would reign over the
whole earth as we'll as on top of the
mountains.-The Story of the Heav-
ems

GETTING EYEN.

When the "Tin Soldier" was done in
Chicago for the first time I played the
plumber. Eugene Field was present
and seemed to enjoy the performance
immensely. Next day he gave the
piece q very fattering criticism, and
said that all the people played their
parts we'll with single exception. The
actor who played the plumber seemed
to have no conception of what the au-
thor intended. I had to good naturally
take the general laugh at my expense
and foot up the bill for numerous
Smiles" whose combined frequency
was sufficient to make very respectable
laugh. I determined to get back at
Field. He is as well known and as ia
miliar figure in Chicago as Col. Och
iltree is in New York. On the follow
ing evening I had him occupy box at
the theater. In one Of my scenes I took
a copy of the Neaos, and advanced to
the front, pretended to read. "Geh.
Fields Sharps and flats, said, as If
just coming to the column of his bright
explorations. Then, with a broad
smile, I apparently continued reading.
After while the smile gradually faded,
and was succeeded by an expression OF
positive pain. The paper was thrown
to the floor, and, with very aired ex-
preston, I threw back the lapel of my
coat and rang chestnut bell. The
chestnut bell was something new in
Chicago then, and the little piece OF
business went tremendously. Fields
box was SO situated that he could not
withdraw from the view of the house,
and he had to take the laugh like good
fellow. The @Tin Soldier" has made on
an average of 1924, 900 season. Chas.

HOW THE ARABS MAKE TEA.

The mistress Of the tent, placing a
large kettle on the fire, wiped it care
fully with horses tail, filed it with
water, and threw in some coarse tea and
little salt. When this was near the
point of boiling she tossed the tea about
with brass ladle until the liquor be-
came very brown, and then it was
poured off into another vessel. Cleans
ing the kettle as before, the woman set
it again ON the fire in order to fry paste
Of meal and fresh butter. Upon this
the tea and some thick cream was then
poured, the ladle put in requisition
again, and after time the whole taken
off the fire and set aside to cool. Half
pint wooden mugs were handed around
and the tea ladled into them, this tea
forming meat and drink and satisfying
both hunger and thirst. However
made, tea is blessed invention for the
weary traveller. Eastern Trauels.

sELF-MADE MEN OF NoRwAK.

do not believe there is another peas
antry for whom progress is easier. It
is, at any rate, certain that no other
country possesses SO many men in Of
fetal positions-doctors, clergymen, en-
gineers, teachers, merchants-who are
peasant-born, often even from the tenant
and working classes; and that no other
country has SO many eminent poets,
artists, men of science, and statesmen
who have also risen from the peasantry.
I do not think / can better illustrate
my assertion than by mentioning a few
who yesterday were peasants and who
to-day are leading men in the country.
These men are in every point abreast
of the age, whether they have received
their education at school and university,
OR whether they, as self-made men,
have travelled far more thorny path to
knowledge and position in life than the
ordinary one.
Norway is not the only country where
the clergy are recruited SO largely from
the ranks of the peasantry. But I ought
to explain that in Norway no one can
be ordained before he has taken his de-
grees at the university like other officials,
and no one can be appointed to bish-
opric unless he has taken degrees with
honors. 1t is therefore all the more re-
markable that several of our bishops
have been peasants. Of these I will
mention Bishop Jorgan Moe, also we'll
known as hymn writer; and of clergy
man, Landstad, who likewise is a hymn
writer. Skrevsrud is one of the great
est missionaries of our time; in conjunc-
ton with Danish friend he has con-
verified the Santals, one of the aboriginal
races of India. He is linguistic genius;
not only has he formed grammar Of
the language of this ancient people, but
he himself speaks twelve languages.
War Aasen is our greatest linguist, and
as such widely known; he was also a
peasant. Yinie is great lyrical poet;
many of his songs have been set to
music by our celebrated composer Ed
yard Grieg. Arne Garborg is one of
our rising authors, and a witty con-
troversialist, also peasant-born. Skreds-
Wig, whose name as a painter is known
far beyond the borders of Norway, is
the son Of a workingman. The father
of the Norwegian school of painting,
Dahl, was peasant boy from the west
coast A number of our best painters
and nearly all our sculptors are Of the
peasantry. Rjorasstjerae Bjormson,

APPRECIATED BIZ ROTH.

Not long ago Senator Blackburn
went out to Western Texas on q pleasure
excursion, and en- route took in the In
dian Territory. He was so pleased
with its green b1ue-grassy appearance
that he concluded to make horseback
journey through part of it. One day,
when he was riding alone, taking in all
the glories of the great pasture land, ne
was overtaken by well-mounted,
well-armed, and well-dressed redskin,
who spoke little English.

mediately produced it. Ina little time
the aboriginal wanted second drink,
and finally the whole flask; but after
giving him two small "jiggers" the civ
ilities were brought to an end.
That evening when the Senator was
in the public room of the hotel at the
little Texas town, he told the circum-
stance of having met the Indian, and
said:

Clock G0lgs and Bells

One of the most interesting parts Of a
clock is its striking work, some clocks
striking hours, half hours, and quarters
others, like many of the fashionable,
tall clocks, striking the hours on a
deep-toned gong. and Ginning quarter
hours in exact limitations Of the chimes
of celebrated cathedrals. The bell is
an important part of the striking appar-
atus. In domestic clocks small saucer
shaped bell or little gong of beaten
metal answers, but when cathedral
clock is to send its sound over wide
circuit, the case is very different.
A gong of heated metal may be made
to yield as deep, and, to a passer-by, as
loud tone. though it weigh but a
score OF two Of pounds, as bell of ten
tons, but the gong will not be heard
300 yards off, while the peal of the bell
travel four or five miles. The hour-bell
of st. Paul's Cathedral is often heard
at night at Windsor Castle, nearly
twenty miles off, yet it weighs but five
and one quarter tons, while that at
Notre Dame, Paris, weighs over twelve
tons, and that at Novgorod thirty-one
tons. and at Pekin fifty-three tons, and
the great bell at Moscow, broken in
1877, weighed 1913 tons.
