Aunt Callsta changed the topic with a

The Largest Horse.

On Tuesday night last Otta Abrams
arrived here with a gray Nor
gan gelding, the property of A. D.
Berry, of Union, Ohio, that is something
remarkable in the way of horse flesh.
The animal is five years old, nineteen
and ee-fourths hands high, and pulls
the beam at 5000 pounds His hoofs are
eight inches in diameter, whiehis only
fair proportion of his body. He is in
fine condition, and Dir. Abrams is taking
him to St. Joseph, where he will be
placed on exhibition, and only stopped
here to give the horse a little rest so his
journey could be resumed. Mr.. Abrams
says he stopped at Ciillicothe, ILL.,, and
had his shoes pulled off, aud SO great
was the curiosity taat he sold the shoes
for one dollar each. Richmond NO

Eathing the Sick.

The administration of the bath to the
sick and paralyzed is often attended with
much difficulty, if not danger, and the
bath lift which has just been invented in
England is both welcome and bench
cent appliance. Its special purpose IS
o. to prevent the accidents which from
time to time occur during the bathing of
the helpless, and make the bathing of
the most debilitated patient by a single
nurse at once possible and safe; and ~
to better secure prolonged immersion, a
mode of treatment to which it is fire.
quently necessary to resort. The appa-
ratus consists of light, rigid frame,
supporting a strong net, and raised at
the end to fern a pillow. Placed on
this the patient is lowered into or raised
out Of the bath by rack and pinion ar
rangemeut controlled by handle. Nurses
and Others who have single handed at
tempted to lift a helpless person from
the bottom of bath will be able to ap-
preciate the usefulness of this contriv-
ance. The apparatus can be made to fit
any size or shape of bath, and can oe
fixed to an ordinary bath in few min
utes. 1t can be removed with the same
ease, so that in private house the bath
need not be monopolized by the invalid

The Bible and Modern Criticism

The Bible and Modern Criticisn'
The New York tribune apoI"gIzes
for taking up So much space by an
article giving some ofthe conclusions
of Modern Biblical criticism in re-
gard to the Bible. Continuing the
Tribune says: Nearly all the differ.
ences of opinion and the controversies
concerning doctrine, discipline and
worship that now disturb the
churches hinge around the questions
about the Bible which have been
raised by Biblical critics. And it is
not too much to say that in the con.
f1ict over these questions which is
now inevitable. and which in fact
has already begun, the whole future
of Christianity is involved.
The situation is very simple, and
can be explained in a very few words.
1t WAS clearly brought out in the dis.
cussion over the Rev. DR.. Heller
Newton few years ago. and Is now
q vital issue in the Presbyterian
church in the case of Professor
Briggs. 1t involves the nature.
character and authority of the Bible.
On the one side stand the tradition.
lists, who declare that the Bible just
AS we have it to-day il infallible. in.
Grant and inspired. not only for SUBJ
stance of relie ious doctrine, but as to
all matter of fact and detail contained
in It. 1t is, in a word, solid block
of inspiration. written by the finger
of God; and to question or even In.
vestigate any statement in it, as one
would question or investigate the
statement of human writing, is an
act of sacrilegious treason against
God.
On the other side stand the critics,
the most trustworthy of whom. he it
remembered, are in the churches.
They challenge tradition for its cree
dentials. They pass by the views of
fatible men in the present or the
past, and proceed to find out what
the Billie claims for itself. They try
10 get at its meaning and the nature
of ito authority by reconstructing as
