In the last census some of the larger
villages are reported by streets, so that
an accurate comparison between the ls!'2

results show an increase in the county OF

Just when the police will again take the

older officers think that a census taken at
this time would show population OF
about 2S0, 900.

thought nothing of it, but it increased IN
size rapidly, and soon broke through the
skin. and commenced to discharge. She
was put under treatment of the best physl-
clans, but they very soon found that tney
could do her no good and simply prescribed
autiseptics to keep the place clean. Both
her grandmother and aunt, by the way, had

fact, the doctors told me that they would
not attempt to save her; that she was IN
durable. Although the cancer had by this
time become deep seated, and her health
very low, had one OF the most noted spe-
ciaiists of New York to treat her. After
treating her awhile, this doctor admitted
that the case was hopeless and further
treatment useless. 1t is difficult to imagine
how respondent we all became, knowing
that she must die, and unable to give, her

eft her; after she, had taken a couple OF
bottles, the cancer began to heal, and aston

cured her entirely. You can probably bet

was, when / explain that the cancer had

Let us serve God in the sunshine,
while He makes the sun shine. We
shall then serve Him all the better in
the dark when He sends the darkness.
The darkness is sure to come. Only
let our light be Gods light, and our
darkness Gods darkness, and we shall
be safe at home when the great night
comes.-F. w, Faber.
