The Absence of II,

II there is any truth in the saying
that happiness is the absence of all
pain, mental and physical. the enjoy
ment of 1t can only be found In hea-
ven. But so far as the physical Is con-
cerned. II is within easy reach: at
least measurably SO. as far as cure will
go. The sum OF human misery in this
line is made up OF greater or less de-
grees of physical suffering. The minor
aches and pains which afilict mankind
are easy to reach and as easily cured
There are none in the whole category
which, II taken In time, cannot be
cured. They must in some form af-
flict the nerves, the bones, the muscles
and joints OF the human body. They
are all more or less hurtful and waste
full to the system. st. Jacobs OIL Is
made to cure them. to search out hid
den pain spots. and to cure promptly
in true remedial and lasting way.
Very. very many have not known hap
piness for years till they used 1t. and
very many are putting OF cure and
happiness because they don't use 1t.

DR.. KANCHESTER'S SERMON
Delivered at the Mckinley Funeral
in Canton.
A SWEET AND TENDER STORY.

How the Dead Statesman Became
a Christisn-The Worlds Grief Over
Our Nations Loss.

The following is the full text OF the
sermon OF DR.. c. Il. Manchester at the
Mckinley funeral in Canton Thursday:
Our President Is dead. 1.-THE silver cord
is loosed, the golden bowl Is broken. the
pitcher is broken at the fountain. the
wheel broken at the cistern, the mourn
ers go about the streets "One voice Is
heard-a wall OF sorrow from all the land.
for the beauty of Israel Is slain upon tho
high places. How are the mighty fallen!
! am distressed for thee. my brother.
Very pleasant hast thou been unto me"
Our President is dead. We can hardly
believe It. We had hoped and prayed,
and 1t seemed that our hopes were to be
realized and our prayers answered. when
the emotion of joy was changed to one
OF grave apprehension Still we waited.
for We said. 1T may be that God will be
gracious and merciful unto us" 1t
seemed to us that 1t must be hts Will to
spare the life OF one 30 well beloved and
so much needed. Thus. alternating be-
tween hope and fear. the weary hours
passed on. Then came the tidings OF n
defeated science. of the failure Of love
and prayer to hold Its object TO the
earth. We seemed to hear the fafntly
muttered words: Goodbye all. goodbye.

y ANTIQUITY OF MAN.

FROM review in Science of the
third edition of De Mortillets great
work on prehistoric times the following
IS condensed. Twelve chapters are de-
voted to the question of Tertiary man.
IL Is concluded that while man did not
exist during this period, precursors of
man more intelligent than any of the
living anthrOpids did exist
PithecanthrODus erectus is consider.
ed as the immediate precursor of man.
The taieveras skull is rejected. The
PaIeolithic period is considered as cor
responding to the early uuaternarv
and 222,OO0 years is assigned as the
length of this period. Add to this num-
Der 1900 years for The Protohistoric
and Neolthic periods and 5000 years
more for the historic period and we
have 23S.G00 years. which is. accordinp
to the authors. a moderate estimate OF
mans antiquity.
