peied to Try the Remedy.
 About the beginning of this cen+urv a distinguished French philanthropist A, Joux, advised poor people to sleep as much as possible during the winter months, as only thus would they be able to live with any degree of com tort. This strange theory is now being tested by many persons in Russia, and, according to report which has been issued, their almost complete absti. oence from food has produced no harmful result, and even has from their standpoint proved highly benefi- cial. These people live at Pskow, a district south of St. Petersburg, and the reason why they have adopted the practice of sleeping during the winter months is because for the last few years their crops have been insufficient to provide them with the necessary of the district saw that starvation means of sustenance When the elders of the district saw that starvation stared the people in the face they ad- yised them to make their remaining stock of food last as long as possible, and to go to sleep during the winter. This suggestion was adopted. The members of each family stretch them selves on cots around the large stove and slumber day and night. Once in the twenty-four hours they get up and refresh themselves with a morsel of hard bread baked last autumn and a drink of water, after which they lie down again and snore calmly. Appar- ently some of the poorest inhabitants of Pskow have been in the habit of hi- bernating for some years, but the prac. tiee did not become general until re- gently, and 1t has now only attracted the attention of philanthropists and Of physicians. Medical men in St. Peters burg have decided to investigate the matter closely, as they are especially anxious to obtain answers to two ques- tions: First, does the temperature of persons who remain torpid and who sleep for whole months in this fashion undergo any change? And, second, in what other manner. if any, does this mode of living affect persons physical ly and mentally New York Herald.

sisted in the service by Father Guers-
tine, of Canal Fulton; Boeskin, of West
Brookfield and Treiber, of Canton. Rev.
Treiber preached an eloquent sermon,
taking mans relation to the church,
family and state as the foundation of
his discourse. He spoke Of the growing
tendency of the younger generation to
ignore the church and her teachings.
The lack of purity in the family relation
was vigorously attacked and the pre-
vailing craze for wealth at the sacrifice
of honesty and integrity was denounc-
ed in no uncertain terms. Fhe speaker,
after generalizing on the wants of the
world in the three relations named, said
that st. Anthony had all these virtues
in the highest degree being true to the
church, unsullied in purity and honor
and honest in his relations to society.
1t was a splendid address. Father
Treiber's reference to the dying man
who called him to his bedside and wish
ed to die a Catholic was listened to in
breathleSS silence.

UNCLE SILAS
WILL WITHDRAW
Captain C. C. Baker Will Lead
the Anti-Tayler Forces.
CAN DIVIDE COLUMBIANA.
That Is the Claim His Friends Make For
Him and 1t Is Also Asserted He
Will BE Stronger Than
williams In Stark.

It comes from what is considered re-
liable sources that the opposition to
Robert w. Tayler, for congress, has de-
cided that Silas Williams, of Alliance,
Is not the man to defeat the Lisbon Gus
todian of the morality of congress.
Williams has made g. canvass through
out the district and is said to be con-
vinced that lightning will not strike
him. He is prepared, therefore, to with
draw from the race. and it is said that
the announcement will be made tonight
1t is also declared that the mantel
of Uncle Silas will fall on the broad,
soldierly shoulders of Captain C. c.
Baker, of Alliance. Captain Bake: is
an aggressive man, popular with his
friends and acuuaintances and it is
claimed by his frie--ds that he will be
acceptable to the opposition to Tayler
in Columbiana county, a claim that
could not be successfully made for Will
liams, Capt. Baker is exp acted to draw
from the Tayler support in Columbiana
county and if he can divide the vote
there it is figured that the convention
will take that as an excuse for dumping
the present congressman.

Since neither Mr.. Whiting nor Mr..
Kuhns were under the plum tree when
it was given the Jolt that brought down

Kuhns said Monday morning that he
had not been n candidate in the true

"Mr. Whiting and Mr. Hay are both
good friends of mine and when they
were after the places on the board they
were in here one day and they assured
me If they were appointed that 1 would
be selected as secretary. 1 have never
asked for the place nor made any effort
to get it. OF course, just before the
