Great Revivals Of Religion Followed
by Great >Calamities and the Co. .e''
lamfties followed by Great
ReYIYaIs OF InldelitY.

The following somewhat remarkable
history is taken from the st Louis
Christian Advocate. The "speaker'' is
doubtless, the venerable DR. McAually,
the chief editor of the st. Louis Ad-
vOcate.
The remarks were first made in q
: s-rmon delivered in Centenary Church
early in 1861, and afterwards found
their way into the'paper.
The speaker remarked, that it SEEM
ed in thehistory of the past, great re-
vivals were followed by great calami-
ties, and the calamities by great re-
vival that commenced in 1855 or '56 in
Massachusetts, under thess labors of
such men as the great DR.. Edwards,
extended westward and southwark,
until it had gone to a greater or less
extent over all the colonies. Then
came the Revolutionary War, after
which infidellty spread over the coun-
try far and wide. 1t assumed philo-
sophical character, which was arrayed
against Christianity, and among
thinking men, led by such writers as
Gibbons, Hume, Shaftesbury, and
Bolingbroke in England, Voltaire and
D'Alembert and others in France, and
among the lower classes it was led by
Paine, Toland, and others.
III 1901 another great revival COM
menced, this time in the West. It
spread eastward and southwark, until
by 1910 or III it had pervaded the
country. Then came the war of 1872
Us. The shade of intidelity which
followed, and which was very extern
sive, was of a scientific character, as
the first had been philosophical. The
first geological survey made in this
country was in 1911, and soon after,
nearly every professed scientist found,
or thought he found, proofs of the
fallacies of the Bible.
Twice has this country been afflicted
by cholera as pestilence, affecting the
country to a large extent, and each
was preceded by great revival Of re-
ligion, and succeeded by great preva-
lence of infidelity, each time in new
and different form, such as "Higher-
Lawism," 'Free-Loveism," and
other pernicious doctrines. In 1858,
SO, and $50, there was another wide
spread revival, as most readers will
remember. and what followed Is also
bitterly remembered. The prediction
made as to events on the close Of the
war we leave the readers to Judge for
themselves. Infidelity abounds, and
if it does not come mainly accordi ng
to prediction made, whence does 1t.
come?

1t is not an easy thing for teacher
to impress his pupils with the beauty

hate is observed in the house. my

father was a leading man in the town,
one very much hearkened to by 9TH

At least one person in three between

ject to practical deafness. The great
majority Ofcases of deafness are here
ditary and due to the too close con-
sanguinity of the parents. Deafness
is more prevalent among men than
among women, because the former are
more exposed to the vicistitudes Of
climate. 1t is thought that telephones
tend to bring on deafness when one
ear is used to the exclusion OF the
other.

How a woman Lost Three Wishes.

Nearly every one knows the story Of
the woman who had three wishes grant
ed to her. and who, while thinking
whether she should desire to be EN-
press or queen, exclaimed involuntarily
on seeing fine bed of Goals in the fire
place before her, "How 1 wish had a
black pudding sizzling on those EN-
bers" and presto, the black pudding
was there. Vexed with herself for
losing one of her wishes, she was in no
mood to bear her husbands reproaches
"Animal that thou art!" she exclaim-
ed in anger. II wish it was on thy
nose!" and suddenly there it was, fixed
so firmly that their united efforts failed
to remove it. In vain the repentant
wife promised her good man all the
wealth and prosperity he could wish
for. what would life be to me2" he
sensibly remarked, with black pud-
ding on my nose" So nothing remain
ed to be done but to use up her last
wish in wishing it off.-New York
Tribune.

Lobsters, like crabs, have a way Of
shooting" their claws, as the opera
tion is termed. Slight provocation will
persuade them to drop their arms and
run away without them. 1t is said that
a loud noise or clap Of thunder will
produce this effect An instance is re-
corded of an amateur fisherman who
caught lot of Holsters, and in order
to keep them fresh tied them by their
claws and hung them by strings over
the side of a vessel. In the morning
only the claws remained attached to
the cords, the Holsters having dispensed
with them and disappeared. Lobster
meat is about six-tenths as nutritious
as beef 1t contains a remarkably large
percentage of phosphorus There is no
way in which that element, supposed to
be so important for nourishing the
brain, can be so readily assimilated as
in the shape of Holsters. Washington
