THE POSITIVE CURE. AsS&N
st. George and the Dragon.

1t is said that in lake near the city ol
Silene, in England, huge dragon dwelt,
whose Unsuitable NAV seemed satisfied
with nothing the people could give him
In their despair they cast lots to deter.
mine who among their dearest ones
should be flung to the beast, and the
lot fell to the Kings daughter. AS she
was going, like Jeptha's daughter, to
meet her terrible fate, she was met by
George of Cappadocia, who, after hear
ing he sad story, bade her fear not, and
making a sign of the crosshe bradished
his lance, attacked and transtixed the
dragon, and leading HIM into the city
heheaded him in the presence of all the
people. For this noble deed he became
the Patron Saint Of England. Many a
dragon in the form of disease, while
leading his victim to death, as sure as
that which would have befallen the
Kings daughter but for her timely res.
cue, has been demolished by the use of
S. S. S, and the victim restored to
health.

HELPFUL THOUGHTS
1t has been objected to the Gospel
that it was not possible that the In
Unite God. having created countless
worlds SO immense that this world -
but grain of sand to them, should
select this little obscure corner of the
universe as the place where His ONLY
Son should become flesh, live and dia
for the salvation of the minute inhab-
itants thereof. Even Christians feel tho
power of the difficulty. But note m
the opposite aspect of creation. The
microscope reveals thousands of livinGr
creatures perfectly formed and cared
for in a drop of water There are ono
hundred thousand million million miI-
lion atoms in a cubic inch of gas, each
one perfectly made. Now, if God il so
great that He can care for each OF
these, how much more will He care for
the immortal souls He has created? f2k
1t is altogether probable that the work
OF redemption for the universe is efonO
IN this world; that here is raging the
great battle between good and evil, for
all worlds and all times. But the maa-
nitude of the issue has nothing to do
with the size Of the battle field. Who
counts the inhabitants of Waterloo, or
Bunker Hill, or Sebastopol in order 70
learn what was done in those battle
fields9 (3) The sympathy and thought
OF a family always goes forth most
freely to the helpless, the sick, tho
ones. So it is in the great
family of God. All the good in tho
universe naturally turns to this lost
and sinful and sorrowing world.

sHOULD GIVE NAMES

The fluent and gifted lady who acted
as the instrument for the invisible lee
turer at the meeting of the Spiritual AL
lance Sunday night announced a rule
adopted by her that will add greatly to
the interest and value of tue psyche
Logical tests that usually conclude these
entertainments. This was to pay no
attention to the spirits that appeared to
her and failed to give her their names.
This was evidently new and unwel-
come requirement to the spirits; per-
haps modesty and timidity are more
pronounced with them than in the mum
dane life. At all events, of the dozen
or more that were seen by the seeress
hunting their friends in the audience,
all but two managed to slip past the
proper and decorous rule laid down.
Perhaps they noted that no one
had recognition for either of the two
the young man spirit, WILLIAM o.
JOHNSON. and the middle-aged lady with
gray hair, MARY ROGERS. They would
not, perhaps, be exposed to similar
modification. But the requirement
should be insisted upon as an evidence
of straight work by the medium and a
voucher for the spirits. Otherwise the
vagueness of the description pives the
incredulous a chance. 1t is not surpris-
ing that two, or even a dozen, spirits
should fail to find any acquaintance in
spiritual meeting. Still the earth rule
to announce the name of the visitor at
gatherings should evidently be observed
in these inter-world affairs, where the
personality is of the first moment.

THE CANTEEN SYSTEM.

A report has recently been made of
the operation of the canteen system in
the army by an officer deputized by
Secretary PROCTOR to make an investi-
CATION at the forts. 1t will be remem-
bered that the system has been furI-
ously assailed by class of people who
would have no frivolities and recrea-
tons disturb the soldiers in ascending to
their religious altitude. The canteen
is social provision not quite on the
7. NJ. G. A. plane. 1t provides attract
i've rooms at the military stations
where the soldiers can put in some of
their leisure playing billiards. pool and
other games. Popular reading is pro-
vided, and among the commissary stores
sold the boys is beer. This latter tie m
has melted much of the protestation.
The secretary has sought to meet it
by a showing by facts that it
is more wholesome method than the
old one, and as stringent as can be prof
itably enforced. In an army order he
says the sale of beer should be discour-
aged as much as possible, and only toll
Grated as an unavoidable evil, the SOL
diers demanding some stimulant. All
the accounts gathered show greater So
briefly, better behavior and other bene-
ncial effects of the system. There is
an increase of c0ntentment and good
fellowship among the men, and a de-
crease of the rudeness and turbulence
that invoke punishment.

THE CORRIDOR CORRAL.

e Senator nj. L. Mccormack, of Grand Forks
is one OF those wide awake, jovial men, SO
numerous in that breezy young common
wealth. He is a staunch Democrat, and
while not given to talking politics, never
allows an opportunity to pass unimproved OF
hammering little sound Democratic doc
trine intothGse of his friends who belong to
the opposition. A good illustration of the
Grand Forks statesman's qufckness to see
point and make the most of was given at the
Merchants yesterday afternoon. There was
quite crowd Of North Dakotans seated in
the lobby, listening to E. Ashly Mears presi-
dent Of the National Bank of North Da-
kota, at Fargo, dilate upon the great
crop raised in the new state this year.
! President Mears launched out with com
plete review of the wheat crop, which, he
said, would amount to nearly 0.000, 900 bush
els. The population of the state was brought
in by the Fargo banker. who proceeded to
show that the per capita amount of wealth
produced will be greater in North Dakota
this year than in most states of the Union.
h IF we could only consume the grass that
goes to waste in the state by feeding it to
cattle ana sheep this production could easily
be doubled" continued Mr.. Mears, enthusi-
asticaily
''That is true chimed in Senator McCor-
mack, with laugh, provided we can have
the Mckinley tariff law repealed so that we
can get something for our wool"
This was too much for Mr.. Mears, and, al
though he felt called upon as a good Repub-
lican to declare the new tariff is all right, he
did not make any explanation of the drop in
the price of American wool in the last year
ever since it has had the benefit of the in
creased tariff rate,
