Miss Winters Pasted For Three Weeks
 After a Dream.
 Miss Mary Winters of Orangeville, Pa, on the Ohio border line, has slept for two weeks. She is lying on couch ill her home as though dead, but her breathing is regular, and the physicians from the surrounding cities are puzzled.
 Miss Winters has lived alone since her mother died, some years ago. and six weeks ago she dreamed that she saw the Lord and he beckonsd her to fol- low him and told her that she must prepare herself for death. The next morning she told Der friends that she would not eat another morsel of food. For three weeks she did not take any nouTishment, and though the most deli cate morsels were placed before her she would touch nothing, saying 1t was against the will of the Lord,
 When she sank into her long sleep, physicians were called in, but tkeit efforts have not been successful, and the woman IS slowly sinking. Electric bat teries placed to her feet, with strong current, did not rouse her, though the shock produced quiyer through her body
 At first it was thought she was dead and an undertaken was sent for, but when he reached the house he refused to prepare the body, as he said she was not dead. New York World.

Tie Germs of Consumption.

Dr. R. l.. Watkins of New York claims to have discovered the indus or nest wherein the germ of consumption is nourished. Instead of waiting for the destroying disease to develop he says physicians may now detect the soil fa- yorable to its growth. By eliminating this condition the disease may be cured practically before its inception For years Dr. Watkins has been working with drops of blood taken from various persons to see whether or not the blood has story to tell long ill advance of the appearance of disease He has been able to anticipate by one year the de- velopment of apoplexy, rheumatism, paralysis and cancer hy the pathogno monie condition of the blood
 Women and Religious Work.
 The Protestant deaconess institutions in Germany have paved tho way tef an independent position and suitable work for unmarried women The black dress with the white cape gives her q safe en- try into all houses, and we cannot but regret that the number of ladies is not larger who seek this useful occupation. But it has also given general impulse to the work of women in all the branches of home missions.
 This brings us to another point-the position of women in religious work Women pastors and preachers are recog. nized ill America as all order already existing. In Germany we are only in the beginning, but this beginning is made. The speaking of women ill public was formerly rendered quite impossible. At first it was allowed i'll smaller circles of women. Now lady, Mrs. Guauck, who is one of the German representa- tiyes of tho rights of women, was re- quested to give an address at the evaE. gelical social congress at Erfnrt last year, and she met with universal ap- plause. We begin to hear HOW that women may make public addresses without losing that true delicacy which we should not care 10 miss. In our prayer meetings women begin to take an active part. We even find that these meetings only become more lively and interesting when women join i'll the exercises. Count Bernstortf i'll Exam- iner

how two buck Indians of the northwest
ern coast tribes went into Il bears den
and, by the light of torch, killed IL big

a young law student got sight of the
bear one day while he was still hunt

hunter alarmed the bear, and it ran to
II 1000 foot cliff and took refuge in IL
hole there. The student climbed ND 100
yards on the face of the cliff and started
rocks down about the hole, thinking to
drive the bear out, but the bear would
not start Then he went to Il nearby III
dian camp and got Trinity Dick and IL
Pitt river Indian, who said they would
go with the man after the bear if he
would let them take the rifle. The stu
dent let Trinity Dick take the rifle and
borrowed another for the Pitt river In
dian.

Davis, while the Indians went into the
cave with II torch. l listened for n long
time, then l heard the dull boom of two
guns away back i'll the cave somewhere.
Their all WAS still again for some time.
After Il bit Trinity Dick came out and

bear. which was already loosing Its hide
n the knife point of the Pitt river In
dian.
The cave was deep. with many arms.
The Indians had followed the main
cave, disputing with each other US to
who should go first. Trinity Dick, being
the eldest, got the place of honor while
the other followed, holding the torch
high aloft. The bear was not in the
main cave. and they Went to the end
without coming upon it, On their way
out. however, the men were confronted
by the bear ut L distance of 20 feet.
Trinity Dick told his companion to hold
the torch steady so that the sights could
be seen plainly. When the shot was
fired the bear pitched forward and
then second bullet was fired into it.
The Indians then turned and ram load
