A Medicines Remarkable Efficacv

That well known religious journal,
The Modern Church, gives an amusing
account of the way in which some
heather were brought to see the error of
their ways. A female missionary, while
travelling in Burmah, stopped at vii
lage where cholera was raging. Having
with her quantity of famous pain
killer, she went from house to house ad-
ministering the remedy to the invalids,
and left number of bottles to be used
after she had gone. Returning to the
village some months after, the mission
airy was met by the head man of the
community, who cheered and delighted
her by this intelligence: Teacher, we
have come over to your side. The medi-
cine did us SO much good that we have
accepted your God" Overjoyed at this
news she was conducted to the house of
her informant, who, opening a room.
showed her the pain killer bottles SOL

a man whose check is good for a million

the sensation. Consequently there was
little intervention with the ebb and flow
of the human tide. After the capitalists
had learned that Sage was but slightly

back to their offices and then laughed at

The world of thirty-three years ago
was world that many people still alive
and not yet past middle age knew very
well. But for all that it was a different
world in many respects to that of this day.
The kingdom of Italy was yet to be, and
the winds of peace had hardly dispelled
the smoke of the terrible Crimean war.
Napoleon held France dazzled and in
political bondage. The United States
were unknowingly almost on the brink
of that pit of flame and death that was
to blaze SO fiercely through years of civil
strife. India was the absorbing topic
among English statesmen. The railway,
the magnetic telegraph" and the steam
ship were the partially solved problems
engrossing the attention of science, and
some "mad geniuses" prophesied that
within a generation electricity and steam
would srevolutionize the daily conduct
and experience of human life.

BILE throes. Volcanic forces were at
work. The result no one could fore
shadow, but the presage made people
wonderfully emotional and almost hys-
terical. Surrounded by these remarka-
bic influences, Cyrus w. Field pushed to
completion an enterprise in consonance
with the spirit of the hour. When in the
fall of 1868 the Atlantic cable was laid
and the first message flashed beneath the
depths of ocean from continent to CONT
nent, Europe and America, waiting for
something to explode over, "went wild"
regarding the achievement. The queen
of Great Britain, the emperor Of France
and other potentates telegraphed con-
CALCULATIONS. Public rejoicings on mag
nifcent scale rendered gay the streets of
London and Paris. New York was COR
geous with daylight professions and
evening fireworks. Mayor Tiemann
presented Mr.. Field with gold box
on behalf of the city, and the illus
trated as well as the daily papers sang
the cable layers praises until it seemed
that the English language could afford
no additional epithet of Qualification.
The poets took a hand, and John G.
Sake wrote that clever ballad, still famil-
lar to many, which ends:
And may we honor ever moro
The manly, bold and stable,
And tell our sons, to make them bravo,
How Cyrus laid the cable.
This, it might be said, all happened
one day. The next, or, to be strictly
accurate, a few weeks later, the cable
broke, and the people veered from hys-
terical applause to hysterical abuse.
Columns that had teemed with lauda-
tons of Field brimmed with venomous
denunciations. Then came other reasons
for excitement, and then the war, which
acted something like a moral thunder
shower. Through it all Mr.. Field bore
himself like typical American-one of
those "who never give up and don't
know when they're whipped" The re-
suit was that in 1867 he made cable COM
munication success, and now the whole
earth is bound together by these slender
electric threads that bring mind close to
mind.
1t is sad to think that while messages
are flashing hither and thither from the
uttermost parts of the earth the man
who bestowed this boon upon his fellows
lies i'll and bankrupt, his wife dead, his
favorite son a restrained lunatic, who
would be in prison for business frauds
were he not mad, and the whole fabric
of life's endeavor slipping away toward
a gulf of sorrow and despair. And Mr..
Daniel F. Tiemann, the New York mayor
who presided at the Field festivities in
1858, he, too, has fallen on evil times,
for the officers of the law practically
"threw him OUT of his lifelong home
the other day. The property was want
ed, ostensibly, for street improvements.
