Miss Laura c. Strider, who has recently
returned from missionary work in Japan,
gave an interesting talk in the NJ. E. Church,
South, on Sunday night last to a crowded
audience. She spoke of japanese life, Gus
toms aud characteristics; of the pleasures,
trials and labors of the missionary from the
time Of bis landing until, after many diff
culties and delays, he obtains residence
passport and goes into the interior to work
among the natives; of the encouragement
in acquiring the language, and how even
that is oyerruled for good, because the long
months spent in that study are also used in
gaining an insight into the peculiarities Of
the natives, which prevents many serious
mistakes All this and much more of In
terest was presented to the attentive crowd,
and at the close some japanese coins and
other curiosities were exhibited, which were
especially attractive to the children.

"soIENoE OF THE SOUL"

"Science of the Soul" is the title of a
new book by Loren Albert Sherman,
editor Of the Port Huron. Mich, Times,
which will be issued some time next
month and which is certain to attract
wide attention. From the advanced
sheets furnished US the following ex-
planation Of certain mental experiences
which many persons have felt will give
some idea of the author'G treatment of
the subject:
"For example. person views some
striking scene, or passes through some
experience and Immediately the impress.
sion is felt that exactly the same scene
has been viewed before, or the same
circumstances have occurred. Osher
experiences Of like character are that
one is suddenly transported to some
other place than that where the physi-
cal body is; and, still another, that tho
individuality has been changed for
moment. Such experiences have been
frequently spoken of as "recollections
OF previous life" The true explana-
tiOu 10 tuSg VIC soul ACGS independently
for an instant, ana brings its observa-
tions to the comprehension of the
physical consciousness. When there is
the impression that scene has been
viewed before under exactly the came
circumstances. the soul goes out in ad-
vance Of the body and perceives it; and
when the same scene Ia perceived by the
physical senses, the physical mind calls
up from the soul the memory of that
which it had first perceived
"And in cases where there is the inn
preston Of being in some other place
than that whore the physical body
actually is, or Of being some other in
dividuality, the physical consciousness
is for an instant turned aside, and the
soul views other scenes. or comprehends
its own individuality, independently Of
It's relationship to the body. When the
operation of the soul through the
physical organism is resumed and ply
steal consciousness returns, there is
recollection OF the experience, but
without mprohension of It's char
acter."

THE comparatively cool weather of
Sunday and the rain of yesterday filed
much felt want in this locality, and
carried rest and comfort to many weary
minds and frames. The warm weather
began early last week in the West,
where the therm ometer got to nearly
100 degrees and the heat in it's march
towards the Atlantic seemed to gather
strength as it advanced. The dry
weather In this section has done con-
siderable damage to late crops, while
the dust in the city and along the
country roads added greatly to the gen
ersl discomfort. On the whole. however,
the year has been ON exceedingly fruit
full one In this section with everything
grown by the farmer, excepting peaches
snd pears, abundant and cheap. The
melon crop has been an exceptionally
large one, and while beef WAS esrly in
the year scsrce and high. the number
and cheapness OF chickens made ample
compensation for all deficiencies in this
respect. indeed, there never was in
the history OF Roanoke such year for
chickens. Everybody has had all the
chicken he or she could eat,and no one,
as far as heard from, has complained Of
surfeis, thie being species OF diet Of
which people seldom grow weary. With
beef from 1875 to Gcents per pound and
good sized chickens from 10 TO 90 cents
apiece, the average householder and
boarder as between the two will say
chicken every time.
