TO PREVENT CONSUMPTION.
Proper Regulations VIII Wipe Out
the Disease.

DIR. II. NJ. Biggs, in an article on
the prevention of consumption, in
the Forum, says:
As the tubercle bacilli do not null

cepting under artificial conditions,
and as 1t has been proved experiment.
ally that the disease is due to these
germs, it follows that when the dis
ease occurs 1t must be produced by
the same individual germs that have
been thrown of by some other hut
man being or animal suffering from
tuberculosis.
a vast amount of evidence can now
be adduced to show that consump-
ton Is comparatively rare among
those who live an outdoor life under
normal and healthy conditions. For
every 1000 deaths from all causes
lob farmers die of pulmonary tuber-
culosis, los fishermen, 12l gardeners,
122 agricultural laborers, 1G7 groccrs,
while among tailors the mortality
rises to 300, and among diapers to
3O1. Out Of every 1000 deaths among
printers and compovitors, 4Gl--or
nearly 80 per cent. Of all--result
from consumption.
The duties of State, municipal and
sanitary authorities in this matter
are clear and specific. Comprehen-

A Handy Pocket Telescope.

A very handy pocket telescope has
appeared, which closes up to the
thickness OF an inch, is no heavier
than an ordinary watch and can be
carried in the waistcoat pocket. 1t
Is said to possess the qualities OF a
good powerful field or opera glass. 1t
Is opened or closed by set Of alum
inium bars, with toothed gearing.
This gives an absolutely parallel mo.
tion, and the act of opening or clos
ing by means Of these bars is also the
means Of focusing. 1t is claimed
that this glass Is Of high power and
splendid definition, suitable for all
purposes, especially to military and

END OF TRUE RELIGION.

Religion is mans consciousness of
his place, duty and destiny in the uni
versal order; recognizing of what
sublime and glorious system he is
part, he has reverence-that supreme
grace of the noblest character. Recog-
nlzing human relations, so intimate and
so authoritive, he perceiyes and obeys
social duties. Recognizing the posi-
bilities of his own nature, he aspires
after the infinite life, prophesled in
enrapturing ideals. Religion is what
man becomes when, taking into his
own soul the truths of nature and feel
Ing their mysterious import and beauty,
he re-creates about himself divine
order, new harmonies and healthier
homes. Religion is what man becomes
when, feeling the sacredness of his
social relations and civic duties, he
honors them in all his conduct as
divinely obligatory. Religion is what
man becomes when he builds into life,
with the glow of mystic worship, the
transcendent ideal, born in the hours
of supreme inspiration.
Religion, as such, Is the outblossom
OF human nature IN its entirety. Author
of all litanies and bibles, architect of all
temples and catheGrals, sanctiier OF all
relics and shrines, organizer OF all
priesthoods and charities, lnspirer o
Handel and Mozart, revelator to Dante
and Milton, master of Angelo and
Raphael, religion is that supreme pro-
duct of human nature, which arise;
when man turns from SIN and sorrow
and ignorance, with profound earnest.

haye settled since the fall of 1898.
In September of that year Rev. N.
Burkart purchased farm OF one thou

orchards, for $4,000. On this estate,
which for $50 years rad been under
cultivation, forty slaves were emploYed
at the outbreak of the civil war. There
are now a large number of German
households settled there. Other Ger
mans have since bought 222 acres for

Swiss farmer acquired 100 acres for

remain with creative genius and eff.
cheney, because man himself remains.
Domes would rise in prouder majesties;
psalms of sublimer imagery would
break forth from the human heart, new
ministries of love, shaming the selfish
ness ofthe old, would work fresh won

Only those who are torgetful of
human nature fear for religion. The
retreat of texts and creeds into OBJ
scurity heralds the advance of the
spirit and the growth of religion. Man
discovers God, not simply as his nexl
neighbor, but as the Divine Immanence
and he finds the springs of progress in
his own being. What remains to the
growing soul is new creation, though
forms may fade and symbol vanish.
As long as this natural order, mex

ders, emblazoned with majesty, beauty
and mystery. shall last, and man con-
tinues a conscious part OF it, SO long
will reverence spring spontaneously in
the human heart, even if all priesthoods
cease; worship waits not for organ
tones leans not on altar ministry it is
the spark divine that the sunset glory,
the spripgtime beauty, the midnight
splendors, shall forever more strike out
of human nature. AS long as man
shall meet his brother man in misery
as long as children shall fill the home
with their eloquent pleas, so long will
sympathy glow and minister; SO long
will love work Its miracles of sweet
humanity.
AS long as hope shall continue
part of human nature, so long will man
seek the incorruptlble riches of the
spirit so long will he see athwart
his earthward pathway some CLEANS
from heavenly home. As we have
been told: Religion itself Is eternal
as the heavens" and this statement Is
true because religion is implicated IN
that heavenly order itself. Religion
alone grows not old; no touch of age
is on her blow; the vigor of eternal
youth is in her veins. Religion, the
immortal child, is the welcome guest of
all times and classes. Religious sentl.
ment is the one phase of human nature
that never becomes antique or abso-
lete.

AsI stand on the verge Of a mighty rock :,

Over rocks OF varied height.
The beauty OF this noble scene
No words could quite express,
While in splendor and in grandeur,
Our eyes have free access.

The great waves dashing high,
While the sprays in 1oaming sheets arise
To meet the angry sky.
As l listen to the rushing,
Sounds like thunder greet my ears
Maddening billows fall in torrents.
Ger the rocks, stand so near.
It's but sister to Niagara,
When Gilpin's Fails arise.
Not of such a large dimention,
But has its power we surmise,
Still we gaze in perfect wonder,
On the sight we call so grand
And admire its natural beauty
From the rocks whereon I stand.
How the waves come up to greet me-
Almost ddshing round my feet.
And again they seem enraged,
How against the rock they beat.
I've serenely viewed their waters,
In all their majesty.

Rocks gigantic gray and cold;

Yet some stand in living beauty
Clothed in robes so seldom seen.

Lizzie Peaks Murderer,

TRENTON, n. j., Aug. 2l.-It is said
that Wesley Warner, the murderer of
Lizzie Peak, will in all probability be
taken from the Mount Holly Jail next
month to Camden. and hanged there
on the sallows erected in the county
Jail. It's said that the Mount Holly
jail has no facilities for hanging a man
and no gallows. AS Camden county
has one man to hang in the near future,
with the possibility OF one or two 9TH
ers, it would be inconvenient to loan
the gallows to Burlington county at
this time. Wesley Warmers case being
a supreme court matter there can be no
legal hitch in having the prisoner taken
to Camden. Warner is under sentence
to hang on September 9TH.
