From the 81, Johnsbury Republican,
Mr.. Blaine does not propose to crowd
himself upon the Republican party and
hence is not a candidate for the presidential
nomination in the common sense of the
word. But if the party wants Mr.. Blaine,
it seems to us beyond any reasonable doubt
he will obey its call. And the Republican
party does want Mr.. Blaine, and wants him
badly. We can make stronger fight with
Mr.. Blaine than with any other leader, and
with him we regard our success as assured.

How rare it is to see hale, hearty,
vigorous old mln like this, who Is ad-
vanced in years but is good for many years
more. Too often we see old men and aged
women weak, broken, sickly, constantly
suffering, miserable most of their time.
They look back upon their early years
with longing, and they look forward
with dread. And yet no matter how
much their constitutions may have been
impaired, there is no reason why they
should not live the rest of their days in
health and comparative strength. This
has been done by many in the past, and
is being done by more to-day. There is
a way for those who care to follow 1t.
Do you ask what this way is? We
answer, by the use of that great e-giver
and strength-imparter, Hunts Remedy.
1t is not only a tonic, but a food
for the life. 1t awakens to health
full action the sluggish liver, the
weakened kidneys, the poor circulation.
It makes the blood better and gives a
warm glow to the system. 1t has been
used for more than fifty years, and is I'M
questionably the best of all modern dis
coveries. Read what has been said in its
favor:
81 cheerfully recommend Hunts Rem
edy. 1t has almost raised the dead."-

Trincomalee, enormous specimens of edible
oysters were brought to the rest house. One
measured more than eleven inches in length

binary measurement is beaten by the oysters
OF Port Lincoln, in South Australia, which
are thellargest edible ones in the world.
They are as large as dinner plate and of
much the same shape. They are sometimes
more than foot across the shell, and the

Average Religion.

| The doctrine OF averages Is applied to a
great variety of things an average crop. both
in quality and quantity; average rainfall, heat
and cold; an average man, woman, child,
horse, and mule. 1t Is too often applied to
Christian character and life. We sometimes,
In thought at least, make 1t the standard of
conduct, with the comforting thought that
when we are remiss in one duty we will level
up by extra activity and goodness In another.
Thus, Sabbath piety Is made to offset lack of
service on other days: nay. even unchrlstian
conduct and sharp practices meantime.
Every one carries a pope under his hat, and
mentally subscribes to the dogma of merit
and supererogattOn, as part of his private
need. A well.to-do and thrifty farmer was
wonderfully pious and active on the Sabbath.
He was always and early at church, devout,
worker In the Sunday.schooI. turning the
day to the greatest possible account-piety.
wise. Here his godliness and zeal stopped.
1t was Sunday job. On Monday and
through the week, he said and did very UNI
christian things. His hired man, shrewd
observer and reader of character, called his
attention to the contrast between his Sunday
and weekday religion. He promptly replied
"Oh, nv religion averages well. My Sunday
piety levels up my secular conduct, and gives |
me fair average" Soon after he sent his |
man to fence off portion of field and let |
the cattle into 1t. He worked with post and |
rail far some>adays, when he reported the |
fence completed and the cattle let into the |
field. What was the farmers uncbristian |
rage and harsh language when he saw at |
every few rods a length of fence missing.
II is man reDlied: 1T Is good average fence"
" Average fence! What do you mean by an
average fence! Don't you see the cattle will |
come right through those open spacesg"
1.-THE fence averages well. Wherever have
left out length have doubled the next one,
SO IL averages we'll. All the rails and posts
nave been used.' Averages well!" shouted
the farmer; Il tell you the fence is good for
nothing you might as well have never made
it, 81 insist it Is a fair average; at airy rate,
II averages as well as your religion. The
double lengths make up for the wanting ones.
You put ia two lengths on Sunday, and leave
a gap all the rest OF the week. The devil
comes right through IT, Now, II we are
going to apply the doctrine of averages to
our Christian life, let US make II q high one.
Let us not use our extra piety of the Sabbath

juct on other DAYS. What we have done
will never level up what we have left undone.

Rains of Blood.

Showers of blood, though recorded in the
oden time. are now rare at this day.
In the year 1922 shower consisting OF
blood and dust fell over quite large per

In 1926 quantities of snow fell In Syria, and
when the rays Of the sun melted 1t 1t turned
into gore.
In the year 1851 Burgundy was startled by
the appearance of q shower which came
down 10 drops of blood.
Between the years 3l9 A. ID. and 1870 four.
teen different showers OF blood and other
substances mixed fell in Italy.
In the year 1850 Devonshire. England, wit
messed a phenomenon that caused great ex-
element. 1t was a shower Of drops OF blood.
In the year 1856 there was shower Of hail
stones In Wurtemburg. They fell to con-
siderable extent and contained blood In hol.
low cavities.
In 1851 a three days shower of blood fell
all over southern Europe. and In the same
year loaf, fresh from The oven, bled when
sliced at the table.
The last time that a CORY phenomenon Of

What an Egg is,

The white of an egg is almost pure albu'

richer part, albumen with particles OF oil and
a small amount of salts. Albumen exists In

parts to one thousand. To supply this albu-
men in the body 1t is necessary to use the
ailments that contain 1t. That group of food
of which eggs are first and foremost are
called albuminoids, and Characteristic com.
