Buried and Resurrected.


Buried and Resurrected.
81 saw that man buried forty
years ago."
The remark was made by Ser
geant Outright few days since,
and as he spoke he pointed to
sturdy-looking man of middle age
who was walking down the street.
"How was that, sergeant"
"Well, it is a curious story. On
farm adjoining the one on which
| was born lived old Uncle Billy
Christian, a good man and true as
ever lived. Uncle Billy had son
who was a good deal older than
myslef. This young man was un-
fortunately afflicted with acute in
f1ammatory rheumatism. All over
his body his flesh was just like
boil, and he suffered agonies and
tortures untold.
"Old Uncle Billy owned woman
called Aunt Betty, who was famous
all over the community as weaver.
One day l was sent over there to
get some weaving that she had done
for our family, and while there I
saw young Christian buried.
"Somebody told the family that
if they would dig a hole and bury
young Christian in the earth for
forty-eight hours, first putting Oh
him mixture of turpentine and
other homely medicines, it would
cure him.
Like anybody else they decided
to try the remedy as sort Of last re-
sort, and they went to work to carry
out the heroic treatment precribed.
"Well, sir, when | got there they
had dug the hole and placed the
poor fellow in it, all but his head,
which was not affected, and after
packing the dirt around him they
remained to watch the effects of
the cure.
"He endured the confinement for
the prescribed period, although suf-
fering intensely during the whole
time, and when they took him out
he hardly looked like the same man.
But from that day forward he began
to improve. The rheumatic atfec-
ton disappeared, he began to fatten
up, and finally became as sound
and hearty as any man in the COM
munity."
Sand that is the MANI"
"That is he. Years have passed
since then, and Christian lives to-
day, a striking testimonial of the
efficacy of the burial treatment in
cases of inhammatory rheumatism.

What is Meant by Nationalism?
Nationalism is another name for
Socialism. 1t is scheme of gov
ernment devised unintentionally, as
we understand, by Mr.. Bellamy OF
Boston. Everything is to belong
to the nation; the nation cares for
everybody. Until person is twen-
ty-one he studies, plays; at twenty
one he enters preparatory course
of training, to cnntinue until he's
twenty-five. During those four
years he decides what he likes best
to do, and from twenty-five to forty
five years he does that-or else he
doesn't. AS the nation is bound to
keep him, he need not work if he
does not care to do go. At forty
five he stops working, if he's been
worker. It's a lovely idea-cows
that give only cream, calves that
are all sweetbreads; nothing but
saddle rock oysters, real ones, too;
but like the sailors paradise, wheth-
er 'the rivers are Of rum and the
mountains sugar." it isn't real, it
isn't practical or practicable. Read
Looking Backward" if you want
to; you'll be interested, undoubt-
edly; then think it over, and you'll
find from the name of the book on
the first page to the last page that
everything in it is awry.-N. Y. Sun.
