One of the latest postoffice
frauds now being investigated by
the postoffice authorities at Wash
ington, is that a doctor who ad-
vertised to cure deafness for $3.50
without fail. To those who sent
the required amount the doctor
forwarded 1900 pills, with direc-
tions to take one each day, and on
no account to miss a day, or the
charm would be broken and it
would DE Necessary to start all
over again. AS TO the truth of
this claim can not be put to the
test until the end of about five
and a half years, the authorities
are puzzled as to what course to
take.

Texas is III the midst of a gem
uine oil boom. Oil companirs are
springing up like mushrooms, and
shares are being purchased by
people in all walks of life. Each
shareholder sees, with his minds

try where oil has been found real

ating, some owners pntting fabu-

Immortality.

Two striking proofs that the
mind is immaterial aud therefore
should survive the shock of the
dissolution of the body, were re-
Gently recorded in the newspapers.
In New York q believe) a woman
had such a strong premonition of
an impending calamity that she
thought would happen in her fam
lily during particular night,
that she decided not to retire, but
would spend the night in watch
ing. Towards dawn, however, she
fell asleep while sitting on the
bedside Of her child. She was
awakened by burglars in the room.
and in the commotion produced
by her screams her husband and
child were killed by the burglars.
Another woman, singer in
choir, suddenly burst into tears
while singing III church, and upon
being escorted to the church par
Tor, she declared that something
awful had just happened. A lit
tie while afterwards she received a
telegram informing her that her
sister had just died.
Such incidents as these are by
no means rare. The Society Of
Psychological Research, of Lon
don, has published volumes of ac-
counts of experiences, as wonder
full as and even more so than
these. If thought is, as the ma
terlalists claim, only the result Of
the chemical changes going on III
the brain, these results should bel
confined to that specific BRAIN.
The molecules of one mans brain
ought not, under this supposition,
to effect the operation of the MOLE
cules composing the brain of an
other. The phenomena mentions
ed above can be explained onlv
upon the hypothesis that the
mind is immaterial, that it is the
EGO, the power that loves and
hates and reasons and controls the
bodily actions.

A MELANGE OF
LIVE TOPICS
Penned for Journal Readers
by a Local Scribe.


DR.. Charles A. Briggs, who was
deposed from the ministry of the
Presbyterian church. for teaching
that the Bible contains MANY err
rors and who was subsequently, re-
ceived into the ministry of the
Episcopal church rotwithstand-
ing mis- heterodox views, is now
creating trouble in the latter
church by his attacks upon the
Lambeth Propositions. " He IN
Inmates that the Propositions "do
not exactly tally with orthodoxy
and that the church cannot eff
fectually lead a movement for
unity until 1t has learned much
more of the truth than it possess
es Mt the present time.
DR.. Briggs, as an authority on
orthodoxy, is indeed the refine
ment of sarcasm, There can be
no doubt that the Episcopal
church has greatly injured itself
by making DR.. Briggs a teacher
and expounder of its beliefs. For
this act Bishop Potter, of New
York, IS responsible, he having
received DR.. Briggs over the pro-
tests of large and influential ell
ement of the church in New York.
Bishop Potter himself wrote in
defense of the critics of the Bible
crediting them with having sep
arated the chaff from the wheat. "
Potter, it will be remembered,
some time ago came out in the
papers expressing himself in favor
of the dram shop as the ''poor
mans club"
Christianity is fast arraying
itself into two distinct and OPP
posing parties, the evangelicals
or those who believe that grace is
derived through heart changes
and is therefore intrinsic, and the
ritualists who stress external
agencies as the channels through
which regeneration is conveyed.
The rationalistic type of so-called
christianity represented by Briggs
will ultimately adopt either of the
above schools of thought or find
its way into the ranks of infidelity.

don the evangelicals and ritual
lists almost caused a riot in the
church where the ceremonies took
place because the former were so
strenuously opposed to the bishop
elect on account of his high
church views. Twenty policemen
were necessary to escort the bish-
op home in order to protect him
from a mob who wished to do vio-
lence to him.

Gypsies In Hungary.


Gypsies being wanderers on the
face of the earth, they have no fa-
therland, but if there is one country
more than another where they feel
at home and in which they have
been fairly treated on the whole
that country is Hungary. Two
things have brought the two folk
together. The gypsies are born mu-
sicians, and the Magyars are born
dancers. For some reason or other
the Magyar thinks fddling is be-
meath him. The gypsy is quite con-
tent that it should be so, for no in
strument save the bagpipes can sup
ply the wild dance music which the
Hungarian loves so well as the vio-
lin can. Gypsy bands are thus in
great demand in Hungarian towns,
and many of the players make lot
of money. Let a gypsy band but
strike up gay tune, and in a few
minutes men and women will be
seen dancing like mad, some of
them during the fury of the mo-
ment lavishing money upon the mu-
sicians. 1t is "the thing" even for
peasants to hire gypsy band for
their private iunketings, and it is
said that Hungarian mobiles have
ruined themselves largely because Of
the sums of money they have spent
upon orchestras of gypsies.

into heaps and then rolling it into
balls. We supposed this to be
freak simply, and, though we watch
ed her scuttling and scrambling in
the soft drift, we supposed that the
next snowfall would find her forget
full or Indifferent. But, to our sur
prise, at the next storm of the kind
we found her at still more animat-
ed game. Standing near a fences
with cleaning eyes and waving tail,
she watched the flakes fall. Finding
that they fell from height, she
stood upon her toes and, holding up
her paws eagerly, looked into them,
tossing up the supposed contents.
Her excitement increased each mo-
ment, and, hoping to bring herself
nearer to the sourse of the fairy.
feathery things, she mounted flow
er box, and, rearing her little 1.-THE
body, she continued to catch and
toss, catch and toss, until she grew
wild with excitement Then, leap
ing down to the walk, she once more
gathered and rolled the woolly stuff
into balls, scattering them hither
and thither, every line of her body
expressing the most perfect, gracious
action. This is surely an exception
al case, knowing, as we do, that TIE
feline race has decided antipathy
to getting its feet and paws wet.
