nothing but anuthema and exposure,

up the empiricism. He will scattef
tho ambuscade. There arc people who
arc just ready to DO duped. They be-
lieve In ghosts; they saw one them
selves once. They heard something
strange in an uninhabited house. Co
ing along the road one night, some
thing approached them in white and
crossed the road. They would think
1t very disastrous to count the num-
Der of carriages at funeral. They
heard in q neigh boris house something
that portendsd death in the family.

bat fly into the room on a summer

left shoulder. They would not for the
world undertake any enterprise on
Friday, forgetful of the fact that If
they look over the calendar Of the
world they will see that Friday has
been the most fortunate day in all the
history of the world.
As near as can tell, looking over
the calendar of the worlds history,
moro grand, bright, beautiful things
have happened on Friday than any
other day Of the week. They would
not begin anything on Friday. They
would not for the world go bnck to
the house for anything after they had
once started. Such people are ready
to be duped. Ignorance comes along,
perhaps in the disguise of medical sci
ence, and carries them captive; for
there are always some men who have
found some strange and mysterious
weed in some strange place, and pluck
ed 1t in the moonshine, and then they
cover the board fences with the adver-
tisements of "elixir," and "panaceas,"
and Indian mixtures" and ''ineffable
cataplasms," and "unfailing disin.
and lightning salves," and
ointments,' enough tc
stun and scarify and poultice and kill
half the race. They are all ready to
be wrought upon by such impositions.

persons as l have been describing.
