Vitality of Hebrews.

If the future population OF the earth
is to be estimated on the basis of race
vitality, then there is no question but
that the Hebrews will yet be in the
majority. Statistics show that the
average longevity of the Hebrew race
is greater than that Of any other. Their
numbers must therefore be increasing
relatively to every race, and they GER
tainly are. Whether it is due to the
sanitary measures enjoined by their re-
ligion or because of native vitality Is
for students of sociology to decide, but
the fact still remains. Yet numbers
are not always to control the destiny
Of the race. and it is to be supposed
that fraternity and good sense are slow
ly wiping out race distinctions.-Bos-

WHEN THE EARTH QUIvERED.
Scene at Camp Meeting During the
Charleston Eartkqunhe.


Charleston EartLquake
There is something very uncanny
about an earthquake Shock" said a gen.
tleman yesterday. THE sensation" he
continued, caused by the -quivering
and rocking of the earth thrills every
fiber in a person with awe. l saw this
forcibly illustrated at the time Charles
ton was wrecked. That earthquake
shock was perceptible throughout Geor-
gia, being especially noticeable in the
middle part of the State.
THE night of the earthquake there
was Methodist camp meeting in pro-
gresS at Bluff Springs, near Zebulon.
There was great crowd at the meet
ing, and the people didn't seem to be
in a very religious frame Of mind to
me. The preacher delivered an elo-
quent sermon on death and the judg-
ment, and at its close mourners were
invited to the altar. But the people
didn't take kindly to the invitation,
and only three or four went up to be
prayed for. The minister begged the
people to come forward, but his ap-
peals fell on deaf ears. Back some
distance from the stand the young peo-
pie were chatting as unconcernedly as
if the issues of time and eternity had
not been presented to them.
1.-THE minister seemed to be dlscour-
aged by the GOODNESS of his hearers,
and was on the point Of closing the
service. But just as he was about to
say let US pray the first slight shock
was felt. In an instant everybody un-
der that stand became as still as death
itself. Faces blanched and eyes were
opened wide in terror. No one at first
seemed to realize what had caused
the earth to rock as if in a spasm.
With the coming of the next shock,
however, some realized what it meant,
and the cry of Earthquake was heard.
Hardly had the dread word been
uttered when there was a rush for the
mournerS' bench. 1 never saw such a
stampede in my life. In less time
than it takes to write the altar was
surrounded by hundreds who were
dazed by terror and crying on the Lord
for mercy. A third shock came while
those frightened people were at the
altar, and it came near throwing some
of them into commissions.
1.-THE minister was the only one who
seemed not to be frightened, and he
began praying in tones that had 6
quieting effect on the people. But il
was hours before calm was restored
and fear banished. The quivering Of
the earth had something so uncanny
about it that the people were ready
to believe that the end of time wa!
at hand.

Rebson's Choice.

How many of us who use or hear the
familiar expression, 1T was HObson's
choice" are acquainted with the real
sort of selection that Tobias Hobson
offered his guests? This is the genuine
version of the tale: The said Tobias
Hobson was a Cambridge innkeeper,
with 40 horses in his stables, some bet
ter, of course, than others. When a
traveller came to request a mount, he
was obliged to take the steed that
stood nearest the door, although there
were so many others advertised as for
hire. If the traveller objected to that
mount, all he could do was to wait IN
til some other traveller had come for
one and so removed this and left its
next door neighbor nearest the stable
door,

SINKING SPELLS
ALARMING SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN
A SWORN STATEMENT
Mrs. w t. Clark of Rome, N. ", Tells Why
She Is Now Recommending Well
known Remedy to Her Friends

Indigestion and stomach trouble
have many results that are not al
ways readily traced to their real cause.
Sometimes the kidneys are apparently
affected but more often an irregularity
of the hearts action produces a far
more alarming symptom. The cause
is easily explained and is removed
when the stomach trouble is cured.
A case in point is that of Mrs. w. T.
Clark, of 318 West Thomas street,
Rome, N. Y. She says:
ITO begin with, l had gastritis,
which brought on sinking spells for
about an hour every morning. l was
very weak and nervous and finally was
compelled to take to my bed. My
illness began in the spring of 1897,
and continued for about four months
For about half this time l was con-
fined to my bed. 1 suffered greatly
from the stomach trouble and nerv-

was the sinking feeling at the heart.

pills very highly, I decided to give
them a trial. 1 bought one box and

THE DEER'S HORNS.
They Present all the Phenomena of
Animal and Vegetable Growth.


Why and how is the deer so peculiar
" unlike any other of the bovine race,
The horn differing so materially from
all the horned cattle in its composition,
growth. maturity and decline? 1t pre-
seuts all the phenomena of animal and
vegetable growth. 1t sprouts from the
brain without any prolongation of the
frontal bone. 1t rises and breaks
through the sinews and takes root on
the bore. growing the same as a vege-
table. Ii is nourished by and secretes
albumcn upon the surface and diSDoses
of the fibrine the same as an animal.
1t is clothed with skin and hairy
coat very different from that on the
rest of the body. This covering and
hair possess a property unknown in
other animal bodies-that of being a
wounded. 1t carries marks of the age
on the buck by putting out an extra
branch each year, which shows an ad-
ditional power each year to produce
them. And this power does not exist
in the female. So this difference Is
more distinctly marked than in any
other class of animals Again. the horn
possesses properties unknown in any
other animal matter 1t is entirely in
odorous. capable of resisting putrefac
ton and almost impervious to the eff
fects of the atmosphere.
And still water at 800 degrees +. will
dissolve these horns readily, even
| though they are not soluble in alcohol
and resist the action of acids and aka
lies. 1t is the only vegeto animal sub
stance that we know of that does not
perpetuate itself by procreation.
The male AMI the female are sustain
ed by the same nutrition and elements,
and the male only produces horns. This
phenomenon is quite as much of curl
osity rs the absence of the horn in the
buck after shedding.
