1T CURED HER.
Five Minutes of silent Prayer From Con-
gregation.


A singular case of recovery from
hopeless illness through the medium of
prayer has excited large amount of
public interest at Piedmont, w. Va.
For many months Miss Alice b. Schaf-
fer of Mount Storm was in q Philadel-
phia hospital suffering from almost to-
tai paralysis, being unable to rise from
bed or talk above whisper. Oct. 8 she
was brought home, as medical relief
was hopeless and she had expressed a
wish TO die at home.
After she had been at home for two
weeks Rev. 9. Fl. Koch, Methodist
evangelist from Ohio, began a series Of
meetings at Mount Storm, and, hearing
of Miss Schaffers case, mentioned it
from the pulpit and asked the silent
prayers of the congregation for five min
utes for her relief. Miss Schaffer's sis
ter was at church, and OH going home
asked the invalid how she felt. She
said she began to feel better ut 0
O'Clock and at her own suggestion got
out of bed without assistance.
She is now in perfect health and does

THE END OF MANKIND.
Scientists Who Believe That the Human
Race viii Shrink Away.

Scientists Who Believe That the Human
Race viii Shrink Away.
There is q whole school of European
scientists who believe that this world
will "come TO an end," as far as man
kind are concerned, at about the year
1000 a. D., by the human race degen-
Grating until they finally disappear from
the face of the globe. French. English
and German statisticians Of this school
have been studying the military and
other record for proof of their unique
theories, and if their published accounts
are reliable they have been surprisingly
successful.
The records used by both the German
and the FrenChman extend back nearly
400 years. From these it is learned that
the average height Of continental Eu-
ropeans in 1910 was feet inches. In
1890 they had degenerated until the
average was only 8 feet G inches and 30
years later, in 1920, it was only fees
inches. At the present time it is only
8 feet 3 q inches. 1t is an easy matter
for expert statisticians to deduce from
the above figures facts that will prove
regular and very rapid decline in human
stature. Figuring in an opposite direc-
ton, it is shown that the men of 5000
years ago were giants, whose average
height was 16 feet and inches Com
ing down to our era it is shown that the
average height Of man was 8 feet, and
that in the fifth century there were more
men that were over 2 feet high than
were less than 6.
But the most astonishing results of
this scientific story Of degeneration
come from the application of this law
of gradual diminution to the future. 1t
is shown that by the end of the year
$500 A. d. the stature Of the average
man will be rednced to 10 inches, and
that within less than 800 years from
that date, or, say, about the year 1000.
mankind will have utterly disappeared
from the globe. Louis Republic.

When group of enthusiastic and

bridge to span the North river, the idea
was scoffed at as impossible Of achieve
ment and absurd. individuals had long
talked OF such an undertaking, but they

True, the East river had been bridped.
but in that success the limit Of engi-

new bridge could not be built unless
by the aid OF genii such as shine in the
pages Of the Arabian Nights. " Yet
the group of projectors went earnestly
on. They had faith in American genius
and did not need Arabian genii. 1t did
not trouble them that they were charged
with dreaming dreams and seeing vi
sions. They consulted with engineers,
had plans carefully drawn and six
years ago made their first formal efforts
toward their great end. Their plans
were for the building of cantalever

1T WAS GOOD WHISKY.
hut Blackburn aud Carlisle Proved They
Were Judges of Flavor.


Were judges of Flavor.
Joe @. S. Blackburn and John q. Car
iisle were some years ago visiting q
common friend at his summer residence.
The host had some old Kentucky whisky
Of which he was very proud, and this
was, in his estimation, the richest treat
he could offer the Kcntuckians. 1t lay in
his cellars in the original package. and
as the Kentuckians had about finished
the pint which had just been drawn OFF
he took occasion TO say that the whisky
was - years old.
"No, "said Mr.. Carlisle; that's very
good whisky, but it's only II years
old. -
Mr.. Blackburn said, That's right,
John, and it came from Bourbon coan-
~, in my old district. {"
The host agreed that it was Bourbon
county whisky, but maintained that ii
was 10 years old and asked his visitors
for candid opinion Of its merits.
Blackburn tried another glass and SAID,
Il have only one fault to find, and that
is a slight flavor Of rusty metal. " Car
Isle filed again and said that. so far as
he was concerned, he was unable to de-
tect any flavor of metal, but that it did
taste little leathery.
This criticism rather wrought on the
feelings of their host, who declared that
it was impossible that either leather or
metal could have come in contact with
the goods, as they were still in the
wood, and, as for the age, he would
take them into the cellar, where they
could satisfy themselves on that score.
Into the cellar they went, and the seals
showed that Mr.. Carlisles estimate Of
their age was correct. This the host con-
fessed after an examination, but he re-
fused to admit that there was any off
flavor to his pet brand. The Kentuckians
tasted again and were more firmly set
in their opinions than before. Finally
the host undertook to have the entire
package decanted off to settle the dis
pute, and when the last dregs were
reached an old fashioned carpet tack,
with leather washer, was found in the
bottom of the barrel. That of course
ended the discussion, and the host has
never since disputed the word of Ken
tuckian when he was talking about
whisky. Tribune.
