THE CENTER OF THE WORLD.

Points ON the Earth's Surface Claimed TO
he the Termini of the Globes Axis
For several centuries different cities i'm
the Orient have contested with each other
Tor the honor of being recognized as the
mid spot of our planet. Quite recently a
London geographer issued an elaborate
work In which he tries to prove the British
metropolis to be the center Of the landed
hemispheres. Jerusalem and Delphi, not
outstanding the fact that neither of them
Is situated on the equator, have for ages
been the two great rivals in this mid spot
discussion. William Simpson, of the Lon
don Society for Exploring Palestine, tells
us that Herr Schick has sent home draw
ings of the Jerusalem center Of the world.
1t exists, of course, in the Greek Church of
the Holy Sepulcher, not in the Latin
church.
The spot is identified less by physical
science than by prophecy. 1t is written in
the Psalms, "God is my king of old, work.
ing salvation in the midst Of the earth"
This can only refer TO the scenes of the
passion and of the holy sepulcher, and the
midst of the earth must therefore be found
where the holy sepulcher is considered to
be by the Greeks. The belief that the cen.
ttr Is luere OF Whereabouts Is ancient, Tor
it occurs in a work by St. Ephrem, quoted
by John Gregory in reference to Noah's
prayer Here st. Ephrem says that Adam
was buried 'in the middle of the earth. 3"
Homer calls Clypso's Island "the navel of
the world, the center of all the seas" In
Kschylus a certain round stone in the
temple of Delphi is the navel" or center
of the earth, and here does Orestes take
refuge when pursued by the Eumenides
Pindar has anticipated Kschylus here,
and after an era Pausanius dixie Herr
Schick) had the pleasure of seeing the only
genuine central hub at Delphi at i,
made" he says, "of white stone, smooth
and polished, and is the middle point Of
the whole world" Delos, as well as
Delphi, claims TO be one of the sacred
/ places perforated by the earth's axle, and
probably other cities, in all ages, have
looked upon their sacred places as deserv.
ing Of the same distinction. There can be
no closer analogy, however, than that
which exists between the hall of stone in
the Church of the Holy Sepulcher at Jeru
salem and the round, white stone al

No one doubts that DIR. Sage's Catarrah

the disease be recent or of long standing,
because the makers of it clinch their faith
in it with $500 guarantee, which isn't a
mere newspaper guarantee, but con calP'
IN a moment. That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't cure you. The
re ason for their faith is this: Dr. Sage's
remedy has proved itself the right cure for
ninety-nine out of one hundred cases of Ca
tarrah in the Head, and the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association can afford to
take the risk of you being the one hun

The only question is-aie you willing to
make the test, If the makers are willing to
take rhe risk? If so the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist so cents and the trial
begins. If you're wanting the $500 you'll
get something better-a cure!

The third and last edition of THE
Crystal Slipper" is now on at the
Chicago Opera House. The great
extravaganza will be given only 8
weeks more. These will be the last
performances of the play in Chicago.
AS the entertainment now stands it IS
without precedent in the history of
western theatricals. From the rise
to the fall Of the curtain there is not
a dull moment to the audience. The
action goes along with wonderful
briskness; scene after scene is un-
folded, each revealing beauties that
are at once a delight to the eye and
a pleasure to the refined taste. The
great ballet also works like piece Of
mechanism, and the multitude of
Of curious and brilliant compositions
of color, together with the inspiring
music, alone draws a crowd nightly
to the Chicago Opera House. When
the spectacle is withdrawn atthe end
of the three weeks, this will make
two continuous runs in Chicago of
nearly IA weeks each. The first run
of the piece in Chicogo was thought
to be a most remarkable one, and
now that "The Crystal Slipper has
repeated this famous run, it throws
every other theatrical production
ever given in the West completely IN
