OF Christian charity, that almost coin.
cldent with the organization OF our So

requirements Of the society, she be-
came and remained one Of its most
cherished and jealous members.
In her death we recognize the depart-
ure OF one whose place among US can-
not easily be filled and whose deceass
entails q heavy loss not only upon IS,
but upon the members Of her devoted
family and a large circle OF Borrowing
friends. -

The Rocking Chair Shine.

"Weayer's thumb" and "house-
maids knee" are quite familiar
terms, especially to those who are
fond of pursuing journals, medical
and hygienic, but the "rocking
chair spine" is less talked of pos
sibly because it is one of the pos
sessions of those dwelling in more
affiuent circles, and is what may be
classed among the luxuries in the
way of disease.
But it is none the less clearly
defined i'll, and one that often leads
to consequences more serious than
its primary condition might sug-
gest.

Democratic and Republican parties
played and always kept to the front.
A great number of voters in both
parties being greatly dissatisfied
with the deplorable conditions
brought on by the two administra-
tons, rebelled and nominated
Weaver. But they made a great
mistake by bringing in too many
issues. Had they taken up and
discussed only the financial ques-
ton, General Weaver would have
probably been elected President
as it would have awakened an i'm
menseenthusiasm among the people.
But the Money Kings of Europe had
determined upon the election of Cleve-
land, and the well-paid wire workers and
politicians carried out their decree.
Cleveland won and was inaugurated
President on March 4, 1898. He eontiu-
ued to array himself against silver, United
States notes, and treasury notes, deter
mined ON their destruction as legal money
and that national bank notes, based upon,
and with gold, be made sole legal money
of the people.
The shipments of gold continued and
the hard times increased. From July I,
1892, toJuly I, 1898, $685. 1853 net of
gold YVES exported; about $I.25 per capita
of the circulation thus sent out of the
country and taken from the debt paying

Incidence and love of ease are
the melting causes of this affection
and genuine spinal disease has in
many instances been it's unfortunate
climax.
Strict hygienists and health
culturists tell us that the rocking
chair is an unmixed evil. 1t per
petually changes the equilibrium
of the body and agitates the circula-
ton. 1t Injuries the eyes, as it con-
tinually changes the focus of what
ever one may be looking at. 1t so
disturbs the brain that physicians
have forbidden mothers and nurses
to rock delicate babies.
1t will thus be seen that the
rocking chair begins its deadly
mission very early in the lives of
its victims, and it is equally true
that they are very likely to keep
up the mischief until they are
ready to make their final exodus
and slip from the rocking chair into
the grave.
The symptoms that first attract
attention are a soreness and sensi-
tiveness of the spine, usually that
portion near or below the waist, and
sometimes extending to the lower
edges of the shoulder blades. There
may be more or less Indigestion
accompanying it, and headaches
are not infrequent.
The trouble arises from an i'm
proper position in sitting. Instead
of keeping the spinal column in a
perpendicular position, the lower
part is bent forward, as one lounges
in a chair with a soft cushion. The
strain on one side of the spine
caused by its curved shape after a
time produces irritation, and if
long continued, inflammation of
serious character ensues. While
there may not be fatal consequences,
there surely is much inconvenience
and discomfort attending a weak or
irritable state of the spinal column.
Good health cannot exist with such
a condition of affairs, neither can
good spirits dwell in such body.
Persons who experience a sense of
weakness or WEAKNESS, or a dull
ache in the back, will do well to
take thought ifthey may have been
too devoted to the rocking chair
and its luxurious cushions.
1t is by physicians declared to be
much better to rest either sitting
upright or in recumbent position,
rather than the lounging, half
doubled up attitude that rocking
chair devotees ordinarily assue.
But the wide, welcoming arms of an
easy chair are so alluring that it
takes Spartan courage to give up
such a delicious luxury.-New
York Ledger.
