 The Brahmans of India, says the Missionary Herald, are familiar with the scriptures if for no other reason than that they may oppose their teach ings.

 The one book that the student who wishes to do his best in literary art must steep his mind in is our English Bible. Says Leigh Hunt: ''We will venture to affirm that no one is master of the English language who is not well read in the Bible and sensible of it's pe- culiar excellepcies. It is the pure well of English. The taste which the Bible forms is not a taste for big words, but a taste for the simplest expression or the clearest medium of presenting ideas" This opinion has been confirmed in our day, by such writers as Cardinal New man, Fitz Edward Hall, J. R. Green, and by other masters and critics of the literary art.

BOGUS BALLOT REFORM.
The Scheme to Put Congressional Elec
 tions Under Federal Control.

The Scheme to Put Congressional Elec-
 tions Under Federal Control.
 There is little positive opposition in the Republican press to the scheme to put Congressional elections under con- trol of Federal officials. Here and there is some apprehension that it will prove an unpopular measure and hurt the party, but there is no vigorous dissent on the ground of principle. The Presi- dent paltered with the subject in his message without going out of his tenn porizing attitude toward most contro- verted measures. The object is, of course, to control the elections in the South. If all the officers who form the election and canvassing boards are the selection of the central Federal power and hold positions for long term of years at the will of the President, there would be irresistible temptations to abuse by zealous partisans, and the party in power would practice strange self-abnegatiOn and virtue if it did not avail itself of the machinery at it's dis posal to perpetuate it's power. The bill introduced in the Senate by Senator Sherman comprises the most odious features of the scheme, and will, per haps, be considerably modified before it comes up for action. While the ten- dency of the Republicans is toward this arbitrary and dangerous system, the Democrats, both South and North, are taking ground for the Australian ballot method. Recent interviews with the Governors of both the Yirginias, Ten nessee, Arkansas and other Democratic States show entire unanimity in favor of the reform, and they are believed to reflect the sentiments of their States. With the adoption of this, or it's essen. tial features, there is no excuse for the interference of the Federal authorities in the methods of voting in the States.

Microscopic research, however, has proved this to be fact, and the result of this discovery is that simple remedy has been formulated whereby Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness are permanently cured in from one to three simple applications made at home by the patient once in two weeks.
