The oath of the Christian takes
two forms. In England, Spain, Italy,
Austria and America, among other
places, it is taken on the Bible. The
English alone kiss the book. In
France and Belgium the Scotch
method of raising the hand is prac-
ticed.
Parsees sometimes give rise to
much nerrlexity in our courts.
They strongly object to being sworn
on the Bible, and claim the right to
make the oath as in their own coun-
try-namely, by holding the tail of
a COW. The COW being sacred anil
NAL in the eyes of the Parsee, he can
commit no sin while touching it. But
there is fortunately an alternative.
In the city of London courts, some
years ago, it being impractible to
procure a cow, a Parsee took sa-
cred relic out from his bosom, and,
holding it aloft, swore impressively,
"By God, and God Omniscient, annd
God Omnipresent, and God Almighty"
Mahometans are much opposed to
swearing. When they do swear it
lis very solemn ceremony, and is
performed by holding the Koran in

ABoLISHING THE OATH.
Many Modern Nations Are Doing
Away With the Form.

Many Modern Nations Are DoinJ
Away With the Form.
Is a man more likely to tell the
truth after he had raised his right
hand and sworn on the bible that he
will do so?
Modern nations are coming to
doubt this. In Germany oaths have
been abolished altogether. In Eng
land and Australia the solemn
affirmation has now as much force as
the most solemn oath. In France no
oath is required of members of the
legislature.
The taking of an oath is a very an
cient practice, and it has been fol-
lowed by the people of all countries.
The Modes and Persians swore. The
The Egyptians and Assyrians swore.
Christian and dagan savage and
never come when the oath will have
altogether died out of the world.
There is a great variety in the
method, but the object is always the
same, namely, to call down on ones
self the vengeance of God as the pen
atty of untruth.

Trains Nos. and 4, the Great
Northern flyer, are now drawn be-
tween Spokane and Leavenworth by
the new Rogers 10wheel passenger
engines, class 1850. The engines are
capable of drawing 10 cars over the
heaviest grades and of maintaining
passenger schedule. They are the
heaviest passenger engines in the
west. The total weight of the en-
gines is 100000 pounds. The diane

The tenders are huge steel structures
standing higher than box car. They
weigh 900 pounds and will carry
IL tons of coal and 5000 gallons of
water. The tremendous weight of
these tenders makes it practically i'm
possible for them to jump the track,
an accident frequently occurring
where the old fashioned light tenders
were used. There are four of these
engines which handle the flyer in and
out of Spokane.
| The Great Northern also has some
mammoth freight engines which haul

THE day wa when men of promi-
hence hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains true to-day
of most proprietary medicines. But Pc
runa has become SO justly famous, its
merits are known to SO many people of
high and low stations, that no one hesi-
tates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
tions are equally represented.
Adignified representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
E. G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. z. G.. Smith. pastoro Of the Presby-
terrain church of Greensboro, Ga, writes:
"Having used Peruna in my familyfor
some time it gives me pleasure to testify
to it's true worth.
"My little boy seven years of age had
been suffering for some time with ca
tarrh of the lower bowels. Other rem
edies had failed, but after taking two
bottles of Peruna the trouble almost en-
tirely disappeared. For this special
malady l consider it well nigh a specific.

Mr.. M. J. Rossman, a prominent mer-

letter to The Pe1una Medicine Co., of
Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows:
For a long time l was troubled with
catarrh of the kidneys and tried many

Peruna was recommended to me bv
several friends, and after using a few

looked for relief was found and Ism now
enjoying better health than 1 have for
years, and can heartily recommend
Peruna to all similarly afflicted. 1t is
certainly a grand medicine. ".--M. j.
