a Most Delicate Apparatus.

One Of the most delicate pieces of ap-
paratus is that used for counting the
number Of cells in the blood Medical
scholars tell us that in a minute drop OF
blood no larger than the head Of Il pin
there arc from three to four million OF
these rcd cells. In health there are a
certain number in a certain amount Of
blood; while i'm certain diseases, as anc.
mia, this number is greatly deficient,
causing pale checks, white lips, tranSpa-
rent cars and great debility. This deli
cate apparatus has proven over and ovcl
again that ScottS Emulsion increases
these red cOrpuSclcs faster than other
known preparations thus curing or pre-.
venting the many diseases and conditions
caused by thin, poor blood.

vol,aire's Phophesy.

The Atlanta Journal, of last Sun.
day, contained an editorial on tho
above subject which is indeed graft
tying to ail good people. Wo are
especially pleased to see that the
great secular papers of the country
are speaking out in no uncertain
tones in favor of Gods word. The
editorial in question is as follows :
About one hundred and fifty years
ago Voltaire predicted that by the
end of the ninctce"th century the
Bible would be forgotten.
Tho nineteenth century has only
| q little more than seven months left
and when we consider how the Bible
stands now we can understand what
sort of a man Voltaire was.
The Journal referred recontly to
the contention of an eminent educa-
tor that Bible reading was declining
in this country and that an alarming
ignorance of the Bible existed
among the rising generation, even
that part of it which enjoys the best
educational opportunities.
Tho New York Observer takes
square issue with this view, and says
of the Bible: at has never been
remembered more lovingly nor
studied more rcvcrcntly nor guarded
more carefully than it is today; it
has never been circulated more
widely nor has it welded 50 potent
an influence as in the century abo"t
to close. Instead Of being forgot
ten or out Of date, it has been and is
pre- e-cmincntly the book of the cen
tury."
The position Of tho Observer is
strongly supported by tho fact that
whereas at the beginning of this cen
tury there was not Bible society in
the world, now there are no less
than 73, and they have distributed
no less than 200,00O,000 copies Of
tho Bible. When we remember
that other publishers in all parts of
the world have printed many mil
lions of Bibles, it seems probable
that during this century no less than
500,000,000 copies of "thc book Of
books" have been circulated. The
Observer says that this enormous in
crease in the circulation Of the Bible
is due to the fact that cit deals with
the greatest of all subjects-those
which relate to God and to the
human soul and to mans eternal
destiny" And ono critic, however
brilliant, can uproot a single one of
its doctrines. ."-Grcenwood Journal.

The Song OF the Printer.
Pick an(, click

Pick and clicl,
Goes tho type in the stick,
AS tho printer stands ut his case;
The type at rapid pace;
And ono by ono as the letters go,
Words arc piled up steady and slow
Steady and slow,
But still they grow,
And words of fro thcy soon will glow;
Wonderful words, that without sound
Traverse tho earth to its utmost bound; !;
Words that shall make
The tyrant quake,
And tho fcttcrs of the oppressed shai
break.
Words that can crumblc an armys might
Or treble its strength in a righteous
fight;
Yet tho type they look but lcadcn an'
dumb,
AS he puts thom in place with finger ant
thumb;
But the printer smiles,
And his work bcguilcS
BY chanting song as the letters he piles
With pick and click,
Like the worlds chronomcter, tick tick
tick .
O, where is the man with such simpl,
tools
Can govern the world as | ?
With Il printing press, an iron stick,
And Il little lcadcn die,
Nifl, ~ nI ;,l. ,r
l support tho Right, and the Wrong at
tack.
Say, where is he, or who may he be,
That can rival the printer power
TO no monarch'S that live the wall doth
he give
Their sway lasts only an hour;
While the printer still grows, and no ono
knows
Whom his might shall cease to tower

Rev. Arthur Casey, of Oswcgo, Kan,
recently delivered a sermon from which
the following has been clipped:
"rhc worlds need is Christian mani-
ness. Knowing this shall no longer
ride on railroads for half fare; what is
good enough for you is good enough for
me. Please do not discount goods to
me because am preacher. ought to
pay my taxes, and my church should not

Four Courlship Sundays.

The four Sundays of November
are observed as fctc days in Holland.
They arc known by the curious
names Review, Decision, Purchase
and Possession and all refer to mat
rimonial affairs, November in IIol-
land being the month par excellence
devo' courtship and marriage,
probably because the agricultural
occupations of the year are over and
possibly because the grand lords of
creation from quite remote antiquity
have recognized the plcasantncss Of
having wives to cook and care for
them during the long winter
On Review Sunday everybody
goes to church, and after service
there is a church parade in every
village, when the youths and maidcns
gaze upon each other, but forbcar to
speak.
On Decision Sunday each bachelor
who is seeking a wife approaches the
maiden of his choice with ccrcmo-
Nous bow and from her manner of
responding Judges whether his adj
vanccs are acceptable. Purchase
Sunday the consent of the parents
is sought if the suit has prospcrcd
during the week. Not until losses
sion Sunday, however, do the twain
appear before the world as actual or
prospective brides and grooms.-
