FROM BAD TO WORSE.

The ordinary treatment of contagious
blood poisoning is to drive from the
system by introducing another. The
result, in most cases, has been that
which usally follows a leap from the
frylug>pan into the fire. To put it mild
ly, mercurial and other mineral poisonings
have disadvantages which are hardly less
serious tina contagious blood poison. In
either case the system is wrecked. and
yet there is no reason why humanity
should continue to suffer. 1t is the office
of S. S. S. to cure contagious blood poi
soning. For that disease the medinine
is surely specific. And it is also its
office to cure mercurial and other min
eral poisoning, In short. S, S. S. is the
great blood purifier. 1t destroys the
germs Of the contagious disease, and
cxpels from the system ali forms of min
eral poisoning. 1t restores health and
strength to the sugerer'

THE TELEPHONE.

We find the following interesting
letter from Judge Walter Clark to
the Starks7ille Miss Lire STOCK
Journal:

Congress would establish telephone

Commenting on Judge Clarke's
letter, the Journal says:
Suggestions prompted by sincere
desire to relieve in any measure the
hard lot of the average farmer OF to-
day and make smooth some of the
rough places Of his usually INFLOW

respondent, on page 4S4, makes a
suggestion in regard to the use of
the telephone in connection nth the

"Would it not relieve some of the

THE BONES OF COLUMBUS.
Resting In the Cathedral at Santo DomiI
go and Not In Havana

Resting In the Cathedral at santo Domin-
go and Not In Havana.
The bones of Christopher Columbus are
believed to be in the cathedral at Santo
Domingo. and not at Havana, MS supposed,
says the Baltimore American. Columbus
died in great obscurity May 20, 1906, and
his remains, first deposited in q vault in
the convent church of the Franciscans
were afte ward transferred, according to
his will, to Santo Domingo, and placed in n
closed vault in the cathedral. The remains
of his son and grandson were placed in two
CT, pts along side of his. and there remained
forgotten I'M til 1888, when, while some re-
pairs We're being made, there We're dicover-
ed como remains Ill a small uninscribed me-
tnllic case. This was supposed to contain
tho last remalns of Christopher Columbus.
After the Fra~nco-SpHnish war of 1875,
the French taking possession of Santo Do
mimgo, allowed the casket to be removed
on December 20, 1895, to Havana. In 1877
tho crypt containing the remains of Don
Luis. prandsono of Columbus, was discovered
at the cathedral, and, in order to set at rest
rumors as to the bones that had boon re-
moved eighty-two years before, a careful
investigation was made, and vet another
crypt WAS found, This new one contained
n metallic case with inscriptions outside
and inside the cover: Most illustrious
and renowned parsonage, Don Cristoval
Colon" and "Discoverer of America, first
admi' AL" ann elsewhere on the cnsket his
initials, &C. G. A." and a small silver plate
inscribed III. Christoval Colon.' The
Soanish authorities made an Investigation
and pronounced this find n fraud. claiming
that the real remains are at Havana.
Others. however, still believe they are at
Santo Domingo.

sympathy with his spirit of devotion.
Little less magical than the voice of
Whitefield, who in the pronunciation
of the word Mesopotamia brought
tears to the eyes of his audience, was
that of Spurgeon, which, as gentle
harp or laundering organ, awakens
in the hearts of the multitudes the
melody of angel choirs, or the terrible
sounds of the Judgment Day.
E1uency is a characteristic of Mr..
Surgeons preaching. His wordsf1ow
like water. His mind and heart seem
like a never-failing spring. He leaves
the impression of vast resources, of
great reserve power. Here literary
critics find fault with him, and say
that il he were to say the same
thoughts in half the words his SER
mons would be better models. His
rnlon could be condensed to advan-
tage. We must remember, however,
that the audience he addresses is a
vast gathering of the masses. and to
address such to the best advantage, it
is necessary to present the same truth
on one side and another; to state it
and restate it, to make it stick in the
heart. When we put the measure of
earthly greatness to the SER
mons, we find them inferior to
those of many preachers. They
have not the philosophical in
sight of Joseph Parker, nor the
literary finish of Phillips Brooks, nor
the poetic genius of Henry Ward
Beecher, nor the gorgeous rhetoric of
L. De Witt Talmage, nor the tower
ing eloquence of Bishop Simpson or
William Morley Punshon- But when
we measure them by the divine rule,
they are well near perfect. They n
simple, pointed. powerful presenta-
lions of gospel truth, that make good
people better, and bad people good.
They stir mems conscience and bring
them to God.-FerdinGnd c. IQlehGat,
