The sale OF Rpans Tabules Is

especially to the influential character
of the testimonials in the daily press,
and growing out Of these, through
the recommendation Of friend to

very general. When once they are

about the benefit she had received,

corner Of Prospect and Eric streets, and o
rush WAS made for the fire alarm box As
sometimes happens, the whereabouts OF
the key was not known, and for minute
or two there was a lot of wild anxiety run
ming to waste. All sorts of suggestions
were Offered, but nobody took advantage
OF them. Fortunately short policeman
came trcttins up and presently produced
his key. 1t was attached to a chain, and
the chain was attached-to him. 1t was a
short chain, and tie box was pretty high
up, and the key didn't come within six
inches of the keyhole. The short police
man pulled and tugged.

A moment later the door Of the box flew

The fact is, he didn't know anything
about it.

"will somebody kindly step around and

LENT.

The Holy Season Of Lent began on
"Wednesday of this week, Cash We'd
nesday) and continues until Easter
forty days, not counting Sundays.
From the testimary of irenaeLs a.
D. 115-19Ol and Tertuliian CA. ID. $50
2aO) We learn that it was one of the
earliest customs of the primitive
church. Until the Reformation the
practice was unusual.
At the very first, it seems, the fast
lasted only forty hours, referring to the
crucifixion and resurrection during
which Christ was under the power OF
death. But gradually it became forty
days, referring to the forty days fast
of Moses, Elijah and our Lord.
The fast consisted, in some places
and some times, in total abstinence
all days except Sundays, in other
places and at other times in absti-
nence FROM flesh and wine.
But generally the fast was marked
by the cessation of everything having
having festival cnara cter, such AZ
public games, theatrical shows &c.
Today the keeping of Lent is still a
practice of more than three-fourths OF
the Christians of the world. Greek,
Roman, Church of England Protestant
Episcopal, Lutheran and others.
1t is time of fasting, more or less
rigorous. With some 1t is strictly re-
quired, and most explicit directions
are given as to times and objects;
with others, enjoined, but times and
methods left to the individual con-
science. In all the churches that OBJ
serve Lent, increased opportunities
for public worship are offered, and
most earnest exhortations to increased
private devotion.
The directions to the faithful of the
Cardinal Archbishop OF Baltimore are
given in another column; as also the
schedule of Lent services at Emman-
mel Episcopal Church in Bel Air. Any
who happen to be in Baltimore at any
time during Lent will find the daily
Mroning service for men at the church
of the Messiah, Fayette and Gay
streets, from II 20 to l3.50 p. NJ, very
attractive and very helpful.
Lent is time of great spiritual privi-
lege 1t meets felt want of every
earnest soul. 1t gives Il solemn call to
repentance, service and self-denial.
Doubtless they who heed the call and
avail themselves heartily of the privi-
lege, will find themselves nearer in
heart and life to Him who in the
wilderness, after forty days of fasting,
was tempted of the Devil, but sinned
not.
Forty days and forty nights
Thou vast fasting in the wild:
Forty days and forty nights
Tempted and yet indebted.
e., Shall not we Thy sorrow share
And from earthly joys abstain,
Fasting with uncedsIng prayer,
Glad with Thee to suffer pain :"

His Rebuke,

Tho Rev. Mr.. Durwell, an old Methodist
minister Of Tennessee, went to Kentucky
in the year 1852 to visit u relative, the
Hon. William Bolton, and was invited to
hold family worship every evening during
his stay.
One day Judge Cone and his wife from
Nashville camo to pass the night Mr.
Bolton said to the old minister, rs he
brought out the Bible, that he would best
make the service short that evening, as the
judge was probably not accustomed to
such things.
Tho old man said, every well, very
well, " though he looked panied. IIo read
one or two verses and then knelt down.
80 Lord!' he prayed, Eve are very poor
and needy creatures and VIC know thou
art able and willing to supply all our
wants, but Cousin William says that
Judge Cone and his wife from Nashville,
who are with US, are not used TO family
worship, and however needy we are, there
is no time to spare in telling thee cur
wants. Amen"
The judge was greatly taken aback and
SO was his host. Between them they per
suaded Mr.. Durwell to continue his prayer,
which he did with great earnestness and
eloquence. Companion.

DOCTORS IN CHINESE STORES.
The Fine Old Methods of the Celestis
EmDirc Applied Here

The Zine Old Methods of the Celestial
Empire Applied Here.
Nearly every Chinese mercantile store il
this country has attached to it Chimes,
doctor and Il pharmaceutical department.
In China every one chooses his own Occu
patton, and any person may assume thu
title of physician without having giveI
previous evidence of his professional com
potency. There are no medical colleges.
I'd no examination tests exist to worry
the minds of tho future practitioners. Ant
neither are diplomas asked for or granted
This unlimited liberty of selecting al
occupation has resulted in making the Chi
nese medical profession very large and
when the Chinese start a business Chi
2ese doctor is always included as one o.!
the partners, and he acts as physician ana
apothecary for the firm. In China Chinese
aEothecaricS, before they can carry Oh
their business, must pass an examination
and must exhibit u diploma from the OK
animation board. Medical study consists
in mechanically learning the old Chinese
medical works, and, when possible, tie
inherited knowledge of remedies all in ac
cordance with the Chinese maxim, The
older the better"
When physician has been unsuccessful,
ne retircs with the common Chinese adagr
that there is medicine for sickness, but
none for fate" Sometimes an invalid will

able medicines in quantity and variety bet
ter fitted for horse than man, for the
doctor reasons that out of great number
it is more likely that some will prove eli
cacious, and the more he gets paid for the
more he ought to administer. A decoc-
ton of kettleful of simples is drunk by
the sick man, and he gives up both work
ing and eating. If, however, at the expi-
ration of the time specified he is not cured,
he scolds his physician for an ignorant
charlatan who cheats him out of his money
and seeks another, with whom he makes
a similar bargain, and with probably sim.
liar results. The visits and examinations
Are very reasonable in price, varying in
amount from 10 cents to 81. The fee is
wrapped up in red paper and is called
golden thanks.-New York Sun.

INVESTIGATING THE MAINE DIS
ASTER.

The naval disaster at Havana is be-
ing officially investigated by our gov
eminent. Captain Sigsbee, who was
in command OF the Maine at the time
of the explosion, has entire charge of
the investigation. Until he has Off
cially reported to the administration
at Washington, the public generally
will withhold its opinion as to the
cause of this lamentable affair, which
cost our government the lives OF over
two hundred and fifty of her brave
and loyal sons, and three-million
dollar battieship.
Several of the incendiary New York
papers have been trying to intlame the
public mind by crying treachery, and
even going so far as to ascribe the ex-
plosion to Spanish intrigue. Such at
tempts to bring down the impending
thunder. cloud of war before anything
official and authentic has been as
certained, cannot be too strongly con-
demned. II, after thorough investiga-
ton, the source of this explosion is
determined, and is found to have come
from the source ascribed by these pre-
mature expressions of opinion, then
let retribution be swift and sure. The
national honor and patriotic senti-
Inent will demand nothing short of
declaration of war, but until definite
l. =. olE Io+ l.,
has the good of our nation at heart
trifle with this precarious and uncer-
tain situation. War is a terrible
calamity, and in these days of arbi
tration, there are few causes which
need such a drastic measure, but we
do not hesitate to assert that if the
Maine WAS blown up at the instance
and by the treachery of another ma
ton, then that nation should, when
these facts are known, be brought t.
immediate task at any cost. 1t would
be question of national honor,
question on which there would be no
place for arbitration or compromise.
1t is thus seen that the investigation
now in progress at Havana is of prime
Importance to our nation, and our
people are breathlessly awaiting the
report of Captain Sigsbee.
This brave officer, by his cool and
judicious report, sent to Washington
in the midst of the confusion and ter
ror of the moment, did much to keep
down excitement, and to bring about
a dispassionate and full examination
prior to any demonstrations or vio-
lence.

LET THE PEOPLE Pass UPON III

LET THE PEOPLE PASS UPON 1T
The present prohibitory law in Har.
ford county has been upon the statute
books for some fifteen years and more,
its efficacy has been thoroughly tested,
and the common verdict is that it has
wholly failed to accomplish the pur,
pose for which it was enacted. Even
its strongest advocates admit its fail
ure, for they have, after mature de
liberation. asked the Legislature to
amend it.
The bill which is now before the
Legislature, and which The -EgiS pub,
lished in full in last weeks issue-pro-
poses to submit, to vote of the PEG,
pie, the question whether we shall
have High License, or an extreme
Prohibition law. This the Legislature
should have no hesitation in passing.
1t is right which the people have
guaranteed to them, and especially,
as SO long a time has elapsed since the
passage of the present prohibition
act. The very organic law of the
State-the Constitution-must be re-
submitted every twenty years, and
the sense Of the people taken, whether
they want change therein. Surely
such demoralizing, debt-burdening,
imperative law, as the present one
has proven itself 10 be, should again
be passed upon by the people, after
its fifteen years of uselessness.
