man; but Catherine Smith, who lives in a
side street, whose clothes are shabby,
whose manners are not good, and whose
people are not over nice, wants that edu-
cation which the state pays for, and the
preference should be given her. Let Mar0
Robinson's father pay for her education;
let him assist In supporting one Of the

never dreamed 1t would be a political one;
but then, l am one Of those who get up

preachers, feel what / say and 1t comes

OF the water, the laborer gets very little
hire. If you let in, under a low tariff the
manufactures Of those countries where the
working man has a hard life, a miserable
death, and a pauper's grave, you can ex-
pect low prices to prevail and low wages
as natural sequence The country is pros
porous when the prices in the markets are
reasonable and good money Is demanded
on good fabrics. The women who try for
suffrage would be doing more to help their
country If they would stop their scream
ing and spend their money, not at bar
gain counters, not at shops where goods
are undersold, but at those shops where
fair wages are paid, and a just price
is asked. The good laborer has right to
demand good pay.

bled with scrofulous swellngs, the late
deceased Sir Thomas Browne Of Nor
witch, being consulted about the same, his
majesty being then at Breda or Bruges,
ne advised the parents of the child to have
it carried over to the king (his own method

ed very strange at his advice, and utterly
denied 1t, saying the touch of the king
was of no greater efficacy than any other
mans. The mother of the child, adher-
ing to the doctors advice, studied all i'm
aginable means to have it over, and at
last prevailed with her husband to let il
change the air for three weeks or A
month; this being granted, the friends or
the child, that went with 1t, unknown to
the father, carried 1t to Breda, where
the king touched It, and she returned
home perfectly healed.
THE child being come to its fathers
house, and he finding so great an al

rived at this health. The friends thereof
assured him that If he would not be
angry with them they would relate the
whole truth; they having his promise for
the same, assured him they had the child
to be touched at Breda, whereby they
let him see the great benefit his child
received thereby. Hereupon the father
became so amazed that he threw off his
non-conformity and expressed his thanks
in this manner: Farewell to all dissent
ers, and to all non-conformists; If God
can put so much virtue into the kings
hand as to heal my child, I'll serve that
God and that king so long as / live

Thus you see not only the child's health
was restored, but the fathers religion
altered simply by the kings touch.

FAITH CURES.
Some Examples of Influence of the
Mind Upon the Body.
Megargee in the Philadelphia Times.

Megargee in the Philadelphia Times.
A recent talk on the subject Of so-cailed
faith cures has led to considerable cor.
respondence concerning them. In plain,
non-technical terms, the entire mystery is
explained by the fact that mental impress
sions have such a powerful and marvel
Gus effect upon the body that If a physi-
cally afflicted woman believes that she
will be cured through the efficacy of
prayer, in numerous instances the desired
result Is accomplished.
But bear in mind that the same end
can be attained with the same subject
by simply telling her that at a certain
moment prayers are being offered In her
behalf in a distant church, even though
no such event was taking place. So, you
see, 1t is the mental impression and not
the prayer that produces the effect. These
experiments succeed only with persons
of peculiarly impressionable DISPOSE
lions, and that is the reason why women
figure most frequently as the recovered
patients. Hundreds of authentic cases
could be cited in support of this position.
Nor is it even necessary that these work.

those who have been long accustomed to
explore diseases l leave the task of de-
veloping the principles on which this mys-
FERROUS restoration from the lowest de-
erepitude and bodily Indebtedness to a
state of perfect health has been accom-
plished. l well know that toothaches
headache, hiccoughs, etc, are often re-
moved by the sudden impression OF fear
and that they never return again. But
to see debilitated, equity frame instantly
restored to vigor; to see the whole sys-
tenn in moment, as II were, undergo a
perfect and entire change, and the most
inveterate and incurable disease radically
expelled, is surely different thing, and
must be acknowledged a very singular
and marvellous event. If an old man, Lam
gushing under disease and infirmlty
had died of mere fright. nobody would
have been surprised at It, but that he
should be absolutely cured and his con-
stitution renovated by it is a most ex~
traordinary fact, which, while l am COM
PEELED to believe by unexceptionable evil
dence, l am totally at a loss to account
for"

No, but it is a still stronger example OF
the power of mental impression. OF the

in either is to be benefited by the other ex-
ling himself forever, unless the feeling
between them makes the United States
too small to hold both of them at the same
time.
Mr.. Donaldson is a great believer in the
principle for which William Mckinley has
so long fought in public, and is an ardent
admirer of the republican candidate, as a
man. Being satisfied in his own mind that
the defeat of the great protectionist would
plunge the country into all sorts of trouble
and that business would promptly go to
the bow-wows. Mr. Donaldson announced
one night to a party of friends that if
silver won he did not want anything more
to do with such a country and such a
people. Somebody asked him If he was in
earnest, and Donaldson gravely ANNOUNCE
ed that if Bryan was elected he would pull
up stakes and make tracks for gold
standard country.
The only condition he made was that, in
the event of his party winning, some other
Milwaukee man should suffer expatriation
while he remained at home and enjoyed the
prosperity that was sure to follow Nc
Kinley's election.
Now, it was well known about town that
Burke was as rabid a silverite as Donald
son was a gold bug, and a self-appointed
committee, made up of prominent men of
both factions, notified him of the McKin-
lev mans defiance and he could not say
quickly enough that he accepted the chal-
lenge and would pay the penalty, should
he lose, though it entailed the loss of every
dollar he had in the world.
When the news got about town that
two men of means and position had made
such an extraordinary wager their ac-
ouaintances, who knew what one or the
other would have to sacrifice, declared
that they were blufflng, and that the
whole thing was a practical joke. This
got to the ears of Burke and Donaldson,
and in order to show that they were in
dead earnest they met at a prominent
club and drew up a paper setting forth
explicitly the conditions Of the bet.
Then the principals, accompanied by
big crowd of their friends, adjourned
to the Office Of prominent lawyer who.
when the signatures Of both men had
been affixed to the contract and duly wit
messed, placed upon it his notarial seal.
While each man was willing to sacrifice
everything and start for other shores
Just as soon as one or the other OF the
candidates was proved to have been
elected, their friends insisted on the time
of departure being extended. to enable
the loser to settle up his business affairs
and make the necessary arrangements
for his lifelong soJourn among strangers
In a strange land.
Recognizing the strength Of the argu-
ment, both men agreed that the defeated
one should take pains not TO be found
within the borders OF the United States
after the first day of January 1897.
Both men are now busy studying up
on geography and welcome all Informal
ton regarding the commercial opportu-
mites offered by any Inhabited section of
the globe, from the Transvaal to Van
Dieman's Land.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, Oct. 11.-Eighteen
months ago Jason L. Miller. aged 40,
chief telegraph operator for the Lehigh
Valley railroad in this city, suddenly dis
appeared. His wife gave him up for
dead. on Saturday Miller returned to the
city as suddenly as he had left. His wife
and two children were overjoyed.
He says that he was sandbagged one
night while on his way home. The next
thing he remembered was that he was
riding in freight car. What transpired
after that until about ten days ago is a
blank to him. On Oct. his senses return
ed to him. He was on board a British
ship. The sailors told him he was making
his fourth trip across the Atlantic ocean.
AS soon as the vessel reached port he
boarded train for Wilkesbarre, reaching
here yesterday morning. A physician who
examined Miller says he Is in good health,
but his case is considered remarkable
one.
