There has been an example in Man
chester, England, recently of the folly
of parents exposing their children to
disease with the idea that they must
have it at one time or another, and that
ks they must have it the trouble may as
we'll be over with. Some Manchester
mothers had this notion in regard to
measles, with the result that in two
weeks forty-four children died. The
mothers deliberately placed their
children in the way of taking the di-
sease. The large mortality vas prob
ably due to the fact that la grippe was
prevalent at the time. 1t is the very
acme of unwisdom to expose a child to
any disease.

The Boston papers, notably the Globe,
ere trying to "boom New England" 1t
Il a hopeless task. The deserted re-
gions Of New England are rich in his
toric associations and in patriotic mem
6ries, but in little else. A race such as
the puritan fathers could live in a ster.
lie and inclement country and derive a
certain stern enjoyment from the very
hardsh1ps of their existence. Bayard
Taylor, once writing from a cold north
ern land, said of the inhabitants: They
may forgive their ancestors for settling
here, but ! never can" The sons of the
puritans will never forgive their long
visaged ancestors for settling in New
England. They have done the only
sensible thing under the circumstances
left for more productive and genia'
regions.

Dr. Hovey,. Essay on nrtracle..

DR.. HOvey's Essay ON Miracles.
By invitation Rev. 81. G. Hovey, D. D,
of Bridgeport, addressed the United Min.
isters' meeting yesterday, giving some
striking and original ideas as to the ma
ture and continuance of miracles. He
claimed that the word rendered miracle
in the scriptures might, in almost every
instance. be more appropriately translated
'tsigns" or power" as it has been done in
the new version. Most people think that
the main feature Of miracle is the won
derful. Hence when any miracle is ex-
planned it loses interest and value for them.
A rapid review followed of the principle
miracle of the old testament and the new,
showing that they were hardly more won
| derful than great many other thin gs
that are never regarded as special signs
| from God. 1t was affirmed that the ele-
ment of strangeness has value in miracle,
| only as it serves to fix attention on messages
coming from above. The object of those
dynamic exhibitions known as the plaques
| of Egypt was not to amaze the people, but
to establish the divine authority and de-
| liver the chosen people of Israel. Jesus,
after giving a list of some of his works,
such as healing the sick, cleansing lepers,
casting out demons, etc, capped the climax
by saying t"To the poor the gospel is
| preached" as if that were a sign more con-
vincing than all the rest. In the same way
the prophet Isaiah predicts that "instead
of the thorn shall come up the fir tree and
instead of the briar shall come up the
myrtle, meaning that rough and cruel ma
lures shall be made gentle and merciful by
divine grace; and this, he says, shall be
ian everlasting sign (miracle) that shall
| not be cut off,"
The current notion that miracle is q
violation of the laws of nature has no
warrant. Hume and his class hold that
| these laws are entities, the sole causes at
| work; and Christians often speak of them
as second causes. 1t is better to define
laws of nature as simply Gods ways OF
acting These ways are for good reasons
uniform, but not fixed and memorable.
Under changing conditions the divine
energy may be displayed in different
ways The extraordinary ways are
miraculous, the common ones are merely
providential. And what was at first
miraculous, may at later day become
providential-of which the rainbow is ar
example. Every genuine miracle mus
stand the test of daylight and publicity. L
must be readily seen, well attested and un
mistakable, or else we are justified in de
nying that it can be sign from God t.
man. What are usually styled "moder1
miracles will not bear these tests, but VI
need not deny the possible continuance o
miraculous gifts. We only claim that il
this enlightened age there does not seem t.
be the need of those mysterious and pecu
liar signs that were called for in Garlic
and barbaric times. Enough for us tina
whenever the Lord calls anyone to do
special work he will give him full equip
ment, including all desirable answers t.
prayer and whatever "signs" may really b
necessary under the circumstances.

QUEEN VICTORIA.
What She Drinks and Why the
Court Physician Recon-
mnnHnH IT,

The London World has been making an inves-
tigation of what the Queen drinks, and has as
certained definitely that. upon the advice of Sir
William Jenner, she drinks whisky diluted in
water. This is for the purpose of retaining her
vigor, renewing her strength and prolonging her
life. The whisky which she drinks is obtained
from the distillery on her own Balmoral estate
and, Of course, is perfectly pure mus tne
World offers valuable suggestion TINS
fact: England's sovereign drinks whisky under
the recommendation of the court physician, ana
on account of its medicinal properties, and: she
drinks it absolutely pure, having it distilled upon
her own estate. These facts prove two things:
First, that all modern medical science demon
strates the superior value Of whisky for sustain
ing the health and prolonging the life, and, sec
ond, that it must be absolutely pure The lead
ing American physicians and chemists have in.
dorsed these views constantly, and emphasized
the necessity of having whisky that is absolutely
pure The best medical and chemical talent in
America has shown conclusively that no whisky
known in the market is SO pure as Duffy's Malt
It is wholly free from fusil oil, it is unlike all
other so-called whiskies, and it Is doing great
things for the health of the community. So true
is this that while many temperance people de-
nounce WHISTLES and liquors in general, they &C.
knowledge the superior merit of Duffy Malt, and
use it incidentally continually. Great care
should be exercised, however, to secure no other
no matter how hard dealer may seek to sell
you something else.

Mrs. B. G.. Lake for the relief commit
tee for the aid of the sick poor made re-
port that during the year the sum of
81 ,O94.8 2 had been paid out in relieving
the wants of the sick poor.
The employment bureau reported that
during the year the sum of $312.66 had
been received from sale of articles, chiefly
of needle work. This is less than one
half the payments for the bureau, which
amounted to $731.24. At the headquar-
tiers of the society in Park streat, needle
work is put out to poor people who need
employment. The receipts were $707.O9
and the expenditures were $691.70, leav-
ing $3.50 on hand.
The report of the treasurer Of the Daw-
son bread fund showed that about 200
loaves of bread had been given the past
year from the product of this fund Sew
eral years ago Henry s. Dawson of this
city gave 81 900 to the town of New Ha-
ven, the income to be used in purchasing
bread for the deserving poor. The in
come, which is fifty dollars per year, is
turned over to the United Workers to
disburse every year. Bread is bought at
the rate of about five cents per loaf, and
the fifty dollars buy about 200 loaves.
Miss Adelaide Morse, for the boys club,
reported very successful condition. For
this work $5Q7. 90 was expended last year.
The club meets in factory in Park street,
where the society headquarters are To-
Gated. Austin Potter has charge of the
club, and his excellent work is of great
value among several hundred boys. A
class of instruction in carpenters work is
a very profitable feature of the work
among boys.
Report was made of the prospect of a
new home for the society to be provided
during the coming year. A committee on
subscriptions have set out with the pur-
pose of raising $15, 900 for a building fund
by the coming spring. The society feels
greatly encouraged over the prospect of
having suitable rooms, as they are conf
dent that their work will thus receive q
great impetus.
It was voted to authorize Henry G.
White to sell to the city the society's
property on Orange street in the rear Of
City hall.
