The ThrOes ola Dying Century

"And ye shall hear of wars and
rumours of wars; see that We be not
troubled; for all these things must
come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against
nation and kingdom against king
dom.
There is pretty well established
theory that events eliminate at the
close of each century by a sort of
natural process. Thus it was in the
closing years of the seventeenth that
those beginning in England with the
quarrel between the people and the
crown ended with the call of William
and Mary to the throne, and the
settlement of English liberty upon a
popular basis. 1t was in the last
quarter of the eighteenth that the
independence Of the United States
was won. In the last decade of it
was the French Revolution, which
changed the face of Europe. Will
liam and Mary were called by the
estates Of the realm in 1859. The
government of the United States I'M
der the constitution went into opera
tion in 1889. In that same 1889
the states general of France met and
made the tennis court of Versailles
forever memorable.
How about the nineteenth cent?.
ry?" That is a big question. Con
slider the changes wrought in the
country by the civil war and the ad-
vance of knowledge, and with them
the changes wrought in the old world
by similar means since the century
was young. Things everywhere are
at odds and evens as result of
those changes, as result of the cul
mination of events. Other AMI
mightier changes are impending
Things cannot continue as they are
says the Pittsburg Times. An ad
justment of them by some means
there must be. Hence the wars and
rumors of wars, and the news of ma.
tion rising against nation. Cuba in
revolt against Spain; the United
States threatening England; Russia
threatening British interests in the
Orient, and the gathering of war
ships there, while European states
men ponder the possibility of a col
lision between those powers which
will involve the rest, as well as
China and Japan. 1t is fin de
steele, and therefore tronbled time
The individual at the beginning
of year maps out what he will do
in the course of il. At the begin
ming of a century nations map out
what they will do in the course OF
it. So the closing of century is
marked by eagerness, unrest, the ty-
ranny of purpose long pursued, and
apparently about to be accomplish
ed. This has been century of turn
ing and overturning, of lofty aspira-
tions, of passionate devotion to
ideals. These have not yet become
real, and unnumbere voices from
the past cry out to press on, for time
is flying, events eliminating with the
years of the dying century.
Listen, therefore, and We shall
hear of wars and rumors of wars
look, and We shall see nation rising
against nation, for the end of the
century with its crises draws nigh.

The French say sit is the impossi-
bic that happens This has proved
to be the case with the Mount Leba-
non Shakers. The whole scientific
world has been laboring to cure dys-
pepsia, but every effort seemed tC
meet with defeat. The suffering from
stomach troubles has become almost
universal. Multitudes have no desire
for food and that which they do eat
causes them pain and distress. Sleep
less nights are the rule and not the
exception, and thousands of sufferers
have become discouraged.
