MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD.
How Mental yagaries Are Awakened by
Suggestions.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
We all know how a little thing will
awaken memories long dormant and bring
before US scenes which We supposed had
been long since tucked away in some cor
ner of the brain to remain forever. Scien-
lists say that our thinking power is made
up of mass of gray matter, which re-
ceives impressions of happenings and
things. This is accepted as scientific
truth, and 1t is ridiculous sometimes how
the gray matter becomes tangled and
what tricks 1t plays us.
In Chicago there one young man who
wakes mellow if you produce a coarse
sponge before him. He says the scent of

his young ideas trained.
The scent OF the sponge as the BOYS and
girls washed their states for the morning

OF school, and now II never fails TO recall
that very important time in his life
The recollection is keen, and he grows
youthful as he talks Of IL.
The odor OF new paint is another aWak-
ener OF memories. IL recalls wildly a
certain day at home during a very happy
time of his life, and as the home folks
are now scattered over the country and
the young man is living in bachelor soli-

Autumn Waists.

From HaFDAFs BazaT.
A number of fancy waists are now being
turned out TO wear under the jacket with
what is called the correct tailor suit for
autumn wear. Indeed, the correct tailor
suit for autumn Is so essentially severe In

thing 10 have some sort OF fancy waist.
Indeed, many OF the tailor gowns have two
or three waists. There is a new material
for waists that bids fair 10 be exceeding

Oriental Diplomacy.

II was az the time OF the exhibition In
1851. A japanese embassy went 10 Paris
to treat for three free ports IN France In
return for which France was to have
three in japan The negotiations proved
short and amiable.

win choose afterward.'
The minister OF foreign AFFAIRS selected
Yokohama. Yeddo. and HsHgyang.
The embassy made no objection: they
simply smiled and went on their way.
Some tims aftsrward Japan sent word
that the three ports mentioned were
agreed 70. and in return Japan desired
Hayrs. Aarse.lles. and Southampton.
This last named gave the French officials

THEY ARE NOT FAIR!

The Anti-McLaurin newspapers snow
their inconsistency, and their unfair
+reatrnent of Senator McLaurin, by the
fact that all of them. when they take
notion to misrepresent and abuse him,
vii, start. and the others will fol-
low like pack OF hounds following the
lead dog when after something they
wish to destroy. When the Puerto
Rican bill was up in the United States
Senate. the Democrats made vigorous
6cht against the measure, and when
the vote came on, Senator's Tlllman
and McLaurin were recorded with their
party. But not one word has been men
toned of this vote by those newspapers
that are in the conspiracy to destroy
McLaurin. which directs special atten-
ton to this vote. Oh No. Had NC
Laurin voted the other way the con-
soirators would have directed attention
toitin great big "horse-headS, ana
columns of fvillifcation, and abuse would
have been been hurled at him. Now,
the people are not going to be deceived
bv the tactics OF McLaurin's enemies.
IF the Senator's vote on the Philippine
question was mistake they are not
going to damn him forever. We have
received letters from the Philippines
from one who is on the ground, and IN
a better position to know the situation
than those who are denounclng NC
Laurin. and these letters concur with
the position taken by Senator McLaurin
in his vote for the Paris treaty. They
saw that the conditions were such at
that time. and are so ~ present TO re-
quire just such action as was taken oy
the administration, and lad it not been
for the aid OF a few Democrats the
treaty would have been rejected, and a
fearful condition would have resulted.
What we started to show however,
was the systematic efforts on the part
OF McLaurin's enemies to conceal what
he does do that will meet with the peo-
pies approval, and to magnify, and
comfort into misrepresentation such
acts as they think will be disapproved
of. The record shows McLaurin to
have voted on every party measure
with his party, and it also shows that
he has had the manliness to be lnde-
pendent of all cliques or political
clans. This fight on McLaurin now,
would have been made on Senator Till
man, but those opposed to Tillman
know they stand no more chance to
defeat him, than does a cat IN an OIL
tank without claws, so they begin far
ahead blazing the way to McLaurln,
defeat, but two years is long way OF,
and the conspirators may be striking
at the base of tree which will come
down on themselves with destructive
force

The Resurrection.

For nearly 10 centuries the church
has been proclaiming the atonlng death
and triumphant resurrection of Jesus
as inconuestable and glorious facts.
Christ's resurrection was ''the inner
most shrine in the sanctuary Of his
mission, towards which he steadily
tended; it was also, at the same time,
the living cornerstone OF that church
which he had builded, which, as with
uplifted finger, ever pointed all men
heavenward.' A denial Of the resur-
rection involves denial of the atone
ment, and the complete failure Of
Christ's mission to the world.
Christ's rising again is the funda-
mental miracle of Christianity. With
it, Christianity must stand or fall. On
It, spiritual teaching IS based. From
it the most far-reaching inferences are
drawn.
In fact, Christianity is nothing else
but the fact and the doctrine, that
through the death Of Christ, the sins
OF the world were judged and expiated;
as through his resurrection spiritual
life AID glory restored to humanity"
St Paul says: "And if Christ be not
risen. then is our preaching vain and
YOUR faith is also vain. Yea, and we
are found false witnesses Of God: be-
cause we have testified Of God that he
raised up Christ =. anc If Christ
be not raised, your faith is vain: ye are
vet in your sins. Then they also which
are fallen asleep in Christ are perish
ed" The resurrection is the key
stone in the arch Of redemption.
Now, Christ's resurrection demands
and is capable Of the fullest historical
proof: and admits of the most incontro-
vertible arguments. So strong is the
proof of this fact, that when Gilbert
West, the infdel, took up the subject
with the purpose Of showing its falsity,
he was overwhelmed with the weight
OF evidence as to its truth, proclaiming
himself follower OF Christ; and leav-
inc US the result of his study in a very
valuable work, observations on the
resurrection Of Christ"
In addition to this external evidence,
the child of God has an inward exper
ience of the truth Of the resurrection
manifested in his heart and life, so that
