Dangerous Bottle Cleaning.

1t is surprising, says Doctor F. Saw
yer, how many people persist in clean
ing bottles with shot after the frequent
cautious that have been given. Moth
ing cleans bottles so easily as a handfus
of shot, which can beshaken into, every
corner until the glsss fairly shines with
cleanliness; but the danger of lead pol
soning is great, even when the bottle
is rinsed out with clean water, end it Is
doubly dangerous when there is no
rinsing out at all, as is usually the case.
Clean sand Isl convenient and thorough
bottle cleanser, especially Us the parti-
cles of sand which adhere must be af-
terward washed out to complete the
process. When time is not en- object,
a bottle can be we'll cleansed by the aid
o. potato parings, but as they mist be
corked in and left to ferment, the plan
is not expeditions enough for gen.ral
use.-New York Dispatch

WHO WROTE THE DIBLE?

ga thought has often come home to ME.
II Holy Scripture be not the fruit Of Divine
wisdom, If it be not message to US from
above whence comes this wonderful Book !?
What account can we give Of 1t Can 1t
come from mans great enemy, the Devil
Is not every page Of 1t for the overthrow Of
his kingdom
Gould 1t have been written by wicked
men? Was there ever wicked man In the
world that did not hate the Bible, aud either
wish that it was false, or endeavor to prove
it SOP
"Could It have been written By good men
out of their hearts? But would good men
have taken Gods name in vain? And does
not every part Of 1t claim to be revelation
from God? Do we not find the words,
Thus saith the Lord continually occur
ring? And can we imagine godly men thus
to have forged the name of Jehovah ?
"Could it have been written by fanatics
and enthusiasts? Then where would have
been the calm, quiet aud devout tone that
prevades it Where would have been the
depth Of wisdom which exercises to this day
the earnest study of men Of the greatest in
tellect?
81 confess can see no way out Of this
difficulty for an believer. If there be dith-
cuties in the Bible-and no doubt many
such there are-it seems to me a far greater
difficulty to imagine any other source but q
Divine one from which it could have come.
1t seems to me to carry q Divine stamp upon
the face of it. 1t rebukes of falsehood and
every kind Of sin, its mighty encourage
ments to live holy and godly life the
power that is ever going forth with 1t to
raise the fallen aud the stall this tells me
that the Voice that spake it Is Divine,' in
fact, hearing out its own witness, that 1t

Have Snakes the Power Of Scents

In sensational story IN 9 recent
issue of 'The Idler" man, to cure his
wife of her fear Of snakes, places dead
python in his study. On entering the
room the wife is attacked by living
python, which unobserved, had On.
tered therein. In view Of discussion
that has arisen as to whether the ap
pearance of the second snake was 0
mere coincidence invented by the
author, or whether it was In keeping
with reptilian habits, the following In
cident may be of interest to your read
ers: ,... ...
T had brought home one evening
large but harmless snake which l had
killed while crossing che road about
half mile from my huts. On my ar.
rival the coolie cook at once said,
'tHim she-snske, sar! No good you
bring him hereby and by, to-mor.
row, next day, father snake; he come
here and stay. On the following after
noon q monkey, chained up outside the
hut into which had taken the dead
reptile, appeared very excited. I en-.
tered and found somewhat similarly
marked snake lying almost on the very
spot whereon ! had placed the slain one
the evening before. After fight and
struggle I killed the second reptile,
which proved to be q male of the same
species. Under ordinary circumstances
Ishould have regarded the appearance
of the male as curious coincidence;
but the prophecy of the cook, based
upon his traditional and practical
knowledge, testified to tho recognized
habit of snakes in thus following up
their mates. As I carried the slain
female on stick the whole way from
where had killed her to my home,
was anxious to find outb by what faculty,
whether by scent or otherwise, the
male had tracked her to my hut. The
coolie, however, was unable to give any
information on this point, nor could
he explain why the male had como to
the hut where the female had only been
momentarily placed, instead Of going
to the rubbish-heap few yards OIL
where she was buried.-London Spec

Benedictine monastery, where he was
taught meteoTology and lingual sci
ences. In the latter branch of educa-
tion he is master of Latin, Greek,
French, English, Spanish, italian, Ara
bic, Hebrew, 4Sanscrit and Chinese.
After leaving the monastic school he
entered the University of Gratz, in
order to study theology and languages.
But his drift was to meteorology and
literature, and he began the publica-
tion in Grstz of popular astronomi-
cal paper, called Sirius" In 1864 he
accepted position as professor in the
Handels-Academie at Gratz. In 1850
he went to the Univerity at Prague to
study astronomy, working industrious.
ly at the observatory there and still
editing the Sirius. He then began his
studies on the influence of the moon on
the fluid mass of the earth's interior,
and came gradually to the construction
of his theory of "criticals days"
At first his prophecies were not alto
gether successful on account Of the lack
Of statistical material on which to
work. Since then, however, he has
had the assistance of many hundreds
of observers, who have enabled him to
follow the course of every great seismic
convulsion in every part OF the world,
In 1877 he visited Peru and other parts
of South America, crossing the Andes
and studying earthquakes and meteo-
rology. The result of his travels was
o book entitled 'In the Land OF In
cas-" he returned home by way Of
San Francisco and New York.
Returning to Styria, be married.
Then he went to live in Leipsic, then
in Berlin, but Is now in Vienna. His
reputation as an earthquake prophet,
which began in 1870, was greatly
strengthened in 1880 in Agrsm. The
city had had a visitation of earth
quakes, which seemed as if they would
never come to an end. In order to
calm the panic among the people, the
city authorities asked Professor Falb
to come from Vienna to give series
of lectures.
He gave the people comforting ss.
sursnces, but told them there was one
critical day yet to be passed, namely
December 16, when there would be q
violent shock, though it would not be
as bad as some that had preceded it.
December 16 passed, and no shock, but
exactly at midnight his prophecy was
fulfilled, and he himself was almost
thrown out of bed His fame then
spread all over Austria, Germany and
the world. He is scientist whose
prophecies command serious scientific
attention. New York Recorder.

WHAT physicians do not know
about the bodies of those on whom
they practice their art is shown In
the death of Colonel Elliot F. Shep-
ard. Both ether and Colonel Shepard
were presumably we'll known to the
doctors, but the effect Of combining
them was a surprise Much OF the
practice OF medicine is cropping in
the dark. The processes OF the body
in health and disease are largely hid
den from observa tion, and the doctor
has to guess at what Is going on in
side, and to guess again In regard to
what will he the effect of pouring In
drugs. The science Of medicine has
made many advances in the present
century and even in the past ten or
twenty years. But the main ad-
vance has been in surgery and In the
prevention of disease. 1t is natural
to suppose that the greatest progress
must be made along the latter line.
The wisest may not know what a
disease Or drug may do to a man
when 1t gets inside Of him, but when
it is discovered how a disease is
caused it does not need more than
good common sense to explain to this
man that it is best for him to keep
aWay from 1t.

A STATES EXPERIMENT.

South Carolina is to try an experiment In the
State regulation of the liquor traffic. Under
what is knownas theEvans Dispensary Bill.
which was passed by the Legislature at its
recent session, the State is to control all sales
of liquor. It Is an adaptation Of the Gothen-
burg system, which has been In use In Sweden
and Norway for some years. Under 1t IL
censes are granted to companies to sell spirit
GUS liquors under certain limitations. These
companies are to receive six per cent. for
capital invested, and to turn all profits In ex-
cess Of this amount over to the State. Each
company mas q monopoly of its business In Its
particular locality. Beer and wines are ex-
cepted from the provisions Of the system but
In South Carolina these are included, and
hereafter there can be no legal saloons In the
State except those controlled by the State
authorities. The Legislature has appzopria-
ted csc, 900 as capital to start the business,
and Governor Tillman proposes to buy stock
OF liquors with this money and on the credit
OF the State. The purpose OF the law Is to
insure, We suppose, that good liquors shall
be sold, that they shall be sold only to
persons entitled to receive them, and that all
the conditions CT restrictions shall be
properly observed. Whatever profit
there may be in the sale will go
to the State and not to individuals. The rea-
son that the liquor traffic has become 80 great

it. II 1t should cease to be profitable, men
now engaged In It would go into other lines
OF business. They do not sell Hqtor because
they want to debsuch their fellow-men, but
because they want to make money and as a
general thing they are willing to do anything
to increase their profits. They become
hardened to evidences of suffering and deg
radiation and ruin, regarding these ss incl
dental to the business. Their one purpose Is
to make money. If the possibility Of profit
were no longer before them they would cease
to be liquor dealers. We shall wait with in
terest to see how the South Carolina law
operates. There seems to be no question OF
It's constitutionality, as the lawyers who have
been consulted by the liquor dealers advise
them to run no risk, but to close their places
