Good Advice in a Nutshell.

There are four organs in the human body
which are vital in their functions and deli
cate in their structure, and which give us an
immense amount of trouble. These are the
Heart Stomach, Kidneys and Liver. If they
give us trouble it is because we neglect or
abuse them, and of course we must take the
consequences. The diseases of these organs
are very numerous and often dangerous.
Luckily we now have remedy which has
proved Just the thing for this class of dis
eases. 1t is Pe-ru.na, purely vegetable
compound, that strikes right at the root of
the whole trouble. This preparation was
used by DR.. Hartman most successfully in
his general practice for years before it was
placed before the general public; and it was
its remarkable success in his private prac.

A Rap at Judges and Lawyers.

The Gallatin Examiner thus de-
livers Il well deserved rebuke upon
the manner in which many of our
courts are conducted:
"There is a general laxity upon
the bench in Tennessee in its failure
to enforce proper order in court and
too free swing allowed to attorneys
in tie examination of witnesses.
They are too often permitted, without
the least correction, to brow-beat and
confuse and entangle honest witness
es, who are only striving to tell the
whole truth, and that brow>beating
is often done in the interest of clients
who are rascally felons. Good, staid
citizens, unaccustomed to appearance
before court, become embarrassed
under the gaze of a crowd, and the
sharp and often insulting questions Of
a lawyer, bent on breaking the force
of, his truthful testimony, commit
blunders which are seized upon and
tortured into direct impeachment of
the honest witness. Judges upon the
bench become parties to such out
RACES upon the rights of witnesses,
we suppose out of courtesy to the
profession but they are themselves
unworthy of their high position. The
court house should in fact be the
temple of justice and not of wrong
doing-not as it is, yearly losing the
respect and confidence of the people"

The Future of Palestine.
New York Evangelist.


Among those who watch "the
signs of the times" from various
viewpoints, the religious future of
Palestine naturally becomes matter
of increasing interest. Will it be
Mohammedan or Christian? If Chris
tian, will it be Protestant, Greek, or
Roman Catholic? A glance at its
present condition may prove inter-
esting, though failing to warrant any
reply to these questions. While Pro-

and establishing schools, pilgrim
houses, and converts throughout the
country, and her missionaries boast
that within less than score of years
Professionalism will have little or no
foothOld in Palestine. The Greek
Church, sure of a liberal financial
support from the Russian govern
ment, with zeal which Protestants
can but take knowledge Of, erects its
churches and affiliated institutions,
and is evidently making preparation
for a permanent dominating infiu-
stay in Palestine, and, if possible, a
ence over its affairs.
And it would be hardly prudent to
positively deny that the Greek
Church may succeed with Russian
influence, and perhaps Russian
army behind her or before her-and
if need be, both behind and before

WELDING BY ELECTRICITY.

Valuable Invention About to bo Brought

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-A manufacturing

This process of welding, invented by
Professor Ellhu Thomson, has been so
far developed as to produce the most
satisfactory results. The principle in
volve1 is that of causing currents Of
electricity to pass through the abutting
ends of the pieces of metal which are to
be welded BY this means heat is gene
rated at the point of contact and me-
chanical agencies are supplied to force
the parts together. With this process
and proper apparatus for the work it is
possible to not only weld iron and steel,
but also to weld metals, which so far
have not been successfully united.
Pieces of such metals and alloys as
wrought iron, copper, silver, brass, lead,
tin, aluminium, and even cast iron are
not only welded but the different metals
can be welded together. The tensile
strength of the weld as demonstrated by
mechanical tests has proved salts
