THE SEDAN CELEBRATIONS
u in Germany on tho twenty
fifth anniversary OF the victory Of Sedan.
The celebration reminded me Of the re.
iolciug with us after the surrender Of
Appomattox. Palaces and cottages,

A MODERN MIRACLE.
Mr.. DopOw told an Interesting story
Of a young girl he saw at LourdeS, who
had not been able to walk for six years
on account OF knee that was a mass
Of running sores. She was dipped In
the spring and the sores completely
healed and was able TO walk. Her
condition before and after was atteSted
to by n physician who dressed the knee
aud by a medical student.
He said In conclusion:
"rhe general cheertulnes and gaiety
Of nations made this trip one OF the
most agreeable OF my lie. Both in
England and on the continent there
was u general prosperity and abundance
unknown for years. Not only are tho
