The Ethiopisn Skin Changed.

The celebrated Interrogation of the
sacred writer, "Can the Ethiopian
change his skin?', can be truthfully an
swered in the affirmative-thati is, if
present prospects and recent accomplish
ments are criterion to what may be
expected in the near future. Several
years ago, in 1890 or 1891, one DIR. John
Edge of Reading, Pa, experimental in
skin grating science, using patches of
q negro's black skin to cover an ugly
wound Oh white mans leg. The ebon
hued patches set" all right and were
soon adhering as firmly as the adjoining
epidermis, but it was not many days be-
fore they began to fade, and by the time
the wound was completely healed were
as white as the cuticle which the injury
had removed from that portion Of q
mans anatomy This of itself was a
revelation to the scientists, who had, to
that date, contended that negro skin,
wherever transplan.ed would retain its
original color.
An ocular demonstration that the col
OfIuS MaltcI III ''e ueSlO oue4O'0 H9so
not rs permanent as had been supposed
caused radical change in scientific opin-
ion as to the cause of differeu nee in co. n
IN the different races and makes some OF
the statements i'll the medical and surgi-
cal textbooks sound somewhat strange
But the discovery was one of value to
science, even if it did disprove as much
as it proved. Lately vice versa skin
grafting experiment has been made in
Berlin Oh a negro who had his face and
neck badly scalded. Six square inches of
white skin have been transplal ted, and
the negro HOW has one-half of his face
white and the other black. The surgeons
in charge declared that if the patient
will submit they will give him a whole
face as white as that OF any German
maiden. Louis Republic.

pleasure, II sedi7iG how large pile you
can get, this always being poor because
as soon as a dollar comes in it is sent
cut to see if it can find another dollar,
so that it can carry it home on its back.
We have u contempt for all these things,
but there is al intelligent and noble
minded forecast which we love to see
in men who have families and kindred
depending upon them for the blessings
Of education and home. God sends US to
the insects for a lesson, which, while
they do not stint themselves i'll the

cast the future Go to the ant, thou
sluggard. Consider her ways, and be
wise, which, having no guide, overseer
or ruler, provideth her meat in the sum-

Now, there are two ways of laying up
money. Oneof these is TO pat it in stock
and deposit it in bank and invest it on
bond and mortgage. The other way to
lay up money is giving it away. He is
the safest who makes both of these in
vestments. There are in this house men
who if they lose every dollar they have
in the world would be millionaires for
eternity. They made the spiritual in
vestment. But the man who devotes
none of his gains to the cause of Christ
and looks only for his own comfort and
luxury is not safe, I care not how the
money is invested. He acts as the rose
if it should say: 60 will hold my breath
and none shall have a snatch Of fra
GRANGE from me until next week. Then
will set all the garden afloat with my
aroma " OF course the rose, refusing to
breathe, died. But above all, lay up
treasures in heaven. They never depre-
ciate in value. They never are at dis
count. They are always available. You
may feel safe now with your 81, 900 or
So, 600 or $40, 900 or 5000 income,
but what will such III income be worth
after you are dead: Others will get it.
Perhaps some of them will quarrel
about it before you are buried. They
will be so impatient to get hold Of the
will they Will think you should be
buried one day sooner than you are
buried. They will be right glad when
you are dead. They are only waiting for
YOU TO die. What then will all your
earthly accumulltions be worth? If you
gathered it all III your bosom and walk
ed up with ii to heavens gate, it would
not purchase your admission. Or if al
lowed to enter it could not buy you
crown Or Il robe, and the poorest saint
in heaven would look down at you and

Independent Order Of
ReeAabites
In NORTH AMERICA.
THE OBJECTS AND AIMS.
Information of Interest to Temper
ance Workers and Those Seeking
a Refuge From the Tempta-
tions of Strong Drink.
In NORTH AMERICA.

N1HE more important object of this
i Association is Mutual Benefit in
the exercises Of Temperance, Forti-
tude and Justice, securing to it's
membership sympathy and relief in
times of sickness and distress; and in
the event of death, the decent OBJ.
servance of the necessary funeral
obsequies; and is based upon and
seeks, the extension of the principles
of Total Abstinence from all intoxi-
eating drinks.
The Order has three subordinate
branches, viz
Primary Tents, composed of white
male persons between the ages of is
and So years of age, who believe in
the existence and omnipotence of
God and are willing to sign our pledge
of total abstinence, are eligible to
membership.
Persons over age may become hon.
orary members.
Female Tents, composed of white
females - years Of age and upwards,
Junior Branch of Boys from 10 to
16 years, and Juvenile Tents, for
Children of both sexes between the
ages of 5 and 16 years.
Each branch has service especially
adapted. 1t has been found that by
working in separate branches of the
organization, there is more freedom
of action than when all ages and
sexes are thrown together. Each
branch of the Order is represented in
the higher body, and fostering care
is exercised over all alike. Thus with
the men and women, girls and boys
all united under one head the I. 0.
of r. is as an irresistible army NOV
ing on to victory.
The Order has, and will continue
to prove blessing to our country,
not only in proving an asylum for the
reformed drunkard, but by inducing
the sober and religious part of the
community to unite in securing the
rising generation from the evils of
intemperance, and ultimately hand
down to generations yet unborn, the
benefits of sObriety.

"Rear Admiral Makaroff of the Rus

conspicuous figures of modern European
naval history. Although only Al years

during the last Tu1lIo- Russian war, was

portraits he resembles, was several times

Provision Fog the future.


We also learn from this story the pro-
priety of laying up for the future. Dur
ing the seven years Of plenty Joseph
prepared for the famine, and when it
came he had q crowded storehouse. The
life Of most men i'll Il worldly respect is
divided into years Of plenty and famine.
1t is seldom that any man passes
through life without at least seven years
of plenty. During those seven years
your business bears rich harvest. You
scarcely know where all the money
comes from, it comes so fast. Every
bargain you make seems to turn into
gold. You ccntract few bad debts. You
are astonished with large dividends.
You invest more and more capital You
wonder how men can be content with
small business, gathering in only
few hundred dollars while you reap
your thousands. Those are the seven
years of plenty. Now Joseph has time
to prepare for the threatened famine, for
to almost every man there do cone sev-
en- years of famine. You will be sick,
you will be unfortunate, you will be
defrauded, there will be hard times,
you will be disappointed, and if you
have no storehouse upon which to fall
back you may be famine struck. We
have no admiration for this denying
oneself all personal comfort and lux
uly for the nero pleasure Of boarding
up, this graeping, Grasping for the mere

whose statements you can verify any

cannot be the slightest shadow of

in this connection is that of Mrs. Jas.

in that community. About II months

pain in my back was SO bad, and there
was such a dragging feeling, that
could scarcely get around at all
could not do any work. and was scarce
ly every free from these terrible pains
in my back. A couple of months ago
my husband saw Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised, and we decided to try them,
although l am free to confess that we
did not have much faith that they
would help me. The result was de-
lightful surprise, however. They gave
me almost immediate relief and since
taking them l have not been troubled
at all. They did me more good than
all the other remedies had taken put
together l am glad to testify to the
virtues of Doan's Pills"
You'll find Doans Kidney Pills Just
as effective in your case if you are
troubled with lame back, backache, a
