There is more catarrh in this section
OF the country than all othor diseases
put together, and until the last few wears
was supposed to be incurable. For q
great many years doctors pronounced il
local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced It
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

A Day With Spurgeon.

The Rev. T. L. Cuyler. D. D., writes as fol-
lows from across the water: During every
visit to London it has been my privilege to pass
Saturday afternoon with Mr.. Spurgeon. for
thar is his holiday. Accordingly, drove down
to his beautiful villa of "Westwood," near
Sydenham Crystal Palace. A "Damsel
Rhoda" at the porter's lodge operated the gate
and we passed up shaded avenue to the house.
1t is a spacious mansion, embosomed in foliage
and flowers and verdant lawns; and this lovely
home, with its surrounding drives, is his one
luxury and recreation. He attends no
dinner parties or iunketings of any kind,
joins in no public amusements, but gives him.
self entirely to his home. his books and his pull
pit. On Sunday mornings he drives in-six
miles-to his Tabernacle, breaches twice; he
conducts the church prayer meeting on Mon
day evenings. and lectures to two or three
thousand people on Thursday evening. He
gave us a very racy account of his last prayer
meeting, which in freedom of speech and fer
vency OF devotion would be a model for all our
prayer meetings; half dozen persons were
struggling at once to get the floor" and no
prayer lasted more than a minute.
We found Mr.. Spurgeon as stout, as genial
as unique and as merry,hearted as ever. He
took us out through his lovely garden and
lawn, and then through gate into his farm"
His own grounds cover II acres and he rents
20 acres more for farming purposes. His good
wife keeps dozen cows, and the proceeds of
her dairy support a city missionary We
strolled of into meadow where the mowers
were busy IN hay-making, and throwing our
selves down on pile of fragrant hay, we played
boy and told stories. 1t Jolly little 'panal-
lance" in which three denominations were
represented, and we should have been glad 20
have invited the Archbishop of Canterbury,
whose wooded park was in full sight of u.s. to
come over and join our symposium. As
looked at Mr.. Spurgeon, in his playful boyish-
ness, it was not easy to believe that our merry
champion was the most extraordinary preacher
of modern times-the wonderful herald of sal
walton. whose trumpets of truth are heard
throughout all lands.

A SNAKE STEALS A BOAT.
A Seven Foot Serpent Makes it Lively for
Toledo Fisherman.

n ToledO flsherman.
Toledo Commercially
Captain A. b. Couldwell. who is summering
at Edgewater, had an interesting and unusual
experience for this latitude with a snake at
Wigton's Point the other day. He was fishing
in the creek, and had occasion to go ashore,
and, after tying his small string of perch to the
stern of the boat, the Nellie c. he pulled her
upon the beach. Half an hour later he re-
turned, but just in time to see his priced boat
moving slowly toward the center of the stream.
Without a second thought he rushed into the
water, through the wild rice, and leaped into
the boat. The mystery which had shrouded
the affair was dissolved when he discovered
that monstrous snake had swallowed one of
the perch, and had towed the boat out. Could
well got little excited. He seized an unwieldy
punt pole, and, with well directed aim,
struck the snake across the back, which had
the effect of breaking the stringer but enraged
the snake. at whirled and started for the oc-
cupants of the boat with an open mouth" said
COuldwell, that would take in Ascent water
melon"
The other occupant of the boat, his young
daughter. became frightened, and thought of
all the wonderful pictures seen in show bills
where oxen are represented as being devoured
by these enormous reptiles. Couldwell took to
the oars: this gave the snake new courage and
he was soon alongside and forced an anchor
age COuldwell's good nature vanished, and
with the strength of q Kilrain he struck the
tage with well-aimed blows until he beheld his
adversary slain before him. 1t measured N
feet and was of a swamp species; dark, mar
row streak down the back from head to tail,
and yellow and red stripes around the body.
This species is seldom seen in this climate. Mr..

The Church and the Theafer.

1t is the duty of the clergy to give instruc-
tion to the public upon all questions of a moral
or religious character They are the accredited
exponents of the conduct of life. Yet, either
through carelessness or cowardice they habit
ually remember to forget" certain Questions
relating to practical ethics which vitality con-
cern their congregations and the entire com
munity.
One of these ignored issues is tffsof attend
ing the theater. 1t would be safe to say that
half OF the younger people in every congrega-
tion in this city are theater-goers. Many OF
these have been trained to believe this habit
pernicious. They go against their conscience
Meantime, throughout the community there is
marked revival of dramatic interest Actors
and actresses are no longer tabooed in the old
fashion. Tragedians like Booth and Irving are
received and honored everywhere.
Now, what is to be done in this matter? Is
the dramatic revival wrong? Are those church.
goers, who are also theater-goers inconsistent
Christians. worthy of disclplinef Surely the
clergy ought not to be dumb dogs afraid to
speak" In answer to such inquiries. II the
harm lies in the wrong time or the wrong de-
gree or the wrong place, are not the accepted
teachers of morals under obligation to declare
this? Guizot used to say that 1.-THE test of
civilization Is the ability to discriminate" Who
shall ciyilize the community up TO this point if
the clergy refuse to do so? When men and
women act against their conscience (even
against a mistaken conscience) the result is de-
moralizing. If the old prejudice against the
drama was mere prejudice; If the wrong in
this regard is one of indiscrimination and not
wrong per Sc; should not the clergy say SO
plainly, and thus remove the ban under which
consciences are hurt on the one hand and
whole profession is morally outlawed on the
other hand?
What has been said of the drama applies

the woman; "come along Cooney, and let us
enjoy life in comfort'for the future"
81 don't know" replied Cooney, ''but do
not think that it makes much difference what
kind of a house you live in as long as you are
happy and contented with yourself. And as
for fire. nobody can prevent il. Do your best to
stop it. say and for the rest trust to luck; that
is all believe in"
But Cooney's wife did not lstcn to her hus-
band; she thought she was smarter than all the
"You come along and will show you how we
shall get on now. Fire can't do any harm to
stone, and don't think we will have any more
'I don't know" said Cooney. quietly, ait
seems to me you are nowhere safe from the
demon of fire."
And he was right
No sooner had he and his wife reached the
first step of the front entrance when a stroke
of lightning descended upon the house. and in
a second the whole massive structure which
moment ago seemed to be strong enough to
Withstand an earthquake, had crumbled to
pieces, and not a whole stone was left upon the
ground.
For the third time the demon appeared and
looking at Cooney's wife, standing utterly
aghast and crestfaIlen beside her husband, he
said:
"Well now, you could not even keep the
stone house long enough to get inside and look
at it, before even that was destroyed. Don't
you think it is about time for you to acknowl-
edge that you nor any other mortal being can
rule the elemenTs?'
"Yes. 1 do acknowledge it" the woman said,
as meekly as q child, and looking;all the time as
forlorn as a duck among a lot of hens
well, then. hope you will not forget ever
to think so. Be patient and take misfortune
the best way you can. Your husband had no
more to do with the fact that the old wooden
shanty burned down than you had TO do with
the destruction of this building. Still you
thought you were SO much smarter, and
you defed even me, the demon of fire. But
there. be wiser in the future and remember
that though you may play with fortune you
can never defy it,"
With that sentence of wholesome admonition
TO the old coal carriers wife the demon of fire
disappeared once more. When Cooney and his
wife looked up from their astonishment> they
noticed their old shanty again in the same
place where it had been before.
Now come and let us 60 in and be thankful,
that we still have yet our dear old home" said
Cooney: let us be satisfied ard be careful of
what we have got. Be it ever so small and ever
so poor, believe that contented people can be
just as happy in a nutshell as q king in his
CASTLE"
81 think you are right" said his wife, land
believe me, will never again defy the demon
of fire.
