The Teachers Lantern.

The cruciied rerpent is the most strik- ing type of the Old Testament. It had the form of that which destroyed Israel yet was the very means of salvation. So Jesus had the likeness of sinful flesh with out having sin. It must needs be lifted up. So must the Son of Man be. It. re- quired faith to look at the serpent. It takes the same to look at the Savior. The cure is instantaneous In both in- stances.
 Sin Is poison It sets one on fire of hell. It produces a raging thirst. It blinds deafens. burns. kills and damns Might as well talk of educating the venom of an asp out of a man aS to talk of refining and cutlturing sin out of the sinner. It requires a supernatural anti dote.
 A heather poet. Lucan. in Pharsalia gives a vivid picture of the effects of poison on the physical nature. All un- willingly he gives a striking portraiture of sins deadly dealing with the soul; Aulus, a noble youth of Tyrrhene blood Who bore the standard of dipsas trod, Backward the wrathful serpent bent her
 head.
 And. fell with rage, the unheeded wrong
 repaid
 Scarce did some little mark of hurt re-
 main,
 And scarce he found some little sense
 of pain;
 Nor could he yet the danger doubt, nor
 fear
 That death. with all it's terrors threat
 ened there,- When To! unseen, the secret venom
 spread,
 And every nobler part at once invades; Swift flames consume the marrow and
 the brain, And the scorched entrails rage with burn
 ing pain.

A Northern View.

New Bedford (Mass.) Standard.
 Some of the Southern newspapers are sarcastic over the New England con science in the matter of child labor in cotton mills. as well as in the matter of mob law. To an extent their irony Is tustifable and well directed. If they would only remember that whatever they may find in criticism of the attitude of interested Northern stockholders in the Southern mills toward this question, their own duty is not unchanged perhaps they would exhibit better judgment. It is true, moreover, that while 1t is perfectly easy to pick out at the North apologists and defenders of child labor in cotton mills. the overwhelming sentiment Is em phatically against it. If Northern man. ufacturers are quick to avail themselves of the opportunity which is left to them bv the people and the legislators of the South to employ the child in the mill the Northern people, as rule, have neither palliation nor defense for the op- eration Very few of Us believe in 1t; we will not have it at home and we would be glad to see the South put upon the practice the seal of disapprobation to such an extent that no Northern man could make cent of money out of the abuse If the Southern newspapers will be exact and individual in their sarcasrfis. and will say precisely whom they mean. as well as what they mean. we have no doubt that they will find plenty of en- dorsement in the North.

 It makes all the difference in the world which way we are headed, how we mind the road. A regiment charging the enemy Tn our late war was suddenly ordered to retreat. The men came back, their mouths full of curses against the road, the roughness of which they had scarce ly noticed while they were charging the enemy. Sand-storms. rocks, and drouth were nothing as long as Israel was fac Ing toward Canaan. But when the order came to about face the people were much discouraged because of the way. Jesus sets to the seal of authenticity upon thlS weird circumstances of Bible history. He gives luminous comment ary upon it. He aftlrms himself the anti tyne of this type. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have eternal life"

TEXAS QUICKSILVER.
Dr. Phillips Discovery Likely to
 Develop into a Rich Find.


 Develop into a Rich Find. Austin CTexasl Special to N. Y. Com
 mercial Advertiser.
 The discovery of number of veins of quicksilver of great richness in the mountains of Brewster County. bordering on the Rio Grande. by Dr. w. B. Uhl- lips, Director of the Texas Geological Survey. has caused much excitement throughout the southwestern part of the State, and many prospectors are rushing into the new district and are filing claims.
 The scene of the new discoveries is sit uated about 100 miles east of the exist ing quicksilver field in BPewster County. Dr. Phillips left Austin several weeks ago to make mineral survey of Brew ster County. He is an expert on mineral formations and it is his opinion that the new quicksilver field will assume great importance, as the mineral is found in true veins, the formation being alike to that of the New Almaden district in Santa Clara County, Cal. The mineral bearing district to all appearances covers a wide al "a.

THE BLOODY TURK
 AT WORK AGAIN
The Massacre of Christians
 Has Been Resumed
The Macedonian Committee Will Apply to the European States for Protection-Many Christian Will lages Already Destroyed.

Sofia, Bulgaria, October 15.-A re- pert has been received here from the frontier in the vicinity of Bubnitza, that six hundred women and children fled into Bulgaria to escape Turkish troops. They report the destruction of the Christian villages O. Stamer Dren- ovo, Serbinovo and Prime, and that the village Oranovo had been burned and it's inhabitants massacred.
 This information led to an agreement between the two Macedonian commit tees and M. Zontcheff's committee. They jointly decided today to call a mass meeting on October 19 of the rep resentatives of the provincial Mace donian societies and to send telegrams to the capital of Europe praying the European states to protect the Christ ians of Macedonia against Turkish atrocities. The Macedonian chiefs have addressed an appeal to the Bulgarian press and to continental societies for assistance for the refugees.

BORROWING BRITISH
 MILITARY METHODS
An English Squad Coming to Show
 the Americans How.

London, October 15.@General Young has secured the consent of Earl Rob- erts and Lord Frederick to a plan to send dozen of the best British non- commissioned officers to America Tn order that they may give an exposition .uI then sy,nlnasric training as aR eX- ample of that which is now carried out in the British service. The war office will pay the expenses of the British soldiers. General Young hopes to be able to get the war department at Washington to send a dozen American non-commissioned officers to England so that they may investigate the de- velopments of the setting-up drill in it's nn-to-date form as it is practiced in this country.
 General Young said to a representa- tiv" of the Associated Press:
 "The gymnastic exhibition we saw at Aldershot beats anything we have in the wax of smartness. The men who took part in it were non-commissioned officers qualifying as gynnastic ip- structors. It was the finest thing have ever seen in that line, and I feel sure that an interchange of experiences in that branch of military training will be of mutual benefit to both countries. Earl Roberts received my suggestion with regard to the British soldiers go- ing to the United States and picked out a team to go with the greatest en- thusiasm.
 General Corbin said his experiences of the British army so far led him to think there was little difference be- tween the American and British ser vice. Tn the administration of such a place as Aldershot I found every thing much as I would at, say. Fort Leavenworth; but the personnel of the enlisted men is vastly different. The men in the British ranks cannot begin to compare from the point of view ol brains. education and initiative wlth the men who compose Americas non commissioned army"

COFFEE VICE.
fields Fast Until You Get Knock
 Down.

"I had used coffee moderately up to six years ago." writes a lady from Piney Creek Md, when l was seized with an attack of nervous prostration, and was forbidden coffee by my physi- elan. I was constantly under treat ment for nearly three years. After my recovery, I once took a cup of coffee, and it made me so sick l did not want any more.
 After the nervous prostration, my stomach was very weak, so that I had to be careful with my appetite As soon as I would eat certain things, I would have an attack of stomach trou- ble sometimes lasting several weeks. so when I was attacked by erysipelas two years ago, my stomach was i'm mediately out of order.
 ''I kept getting worse until nothing would stay on my stomach, not even rice, water or milk and I was so weak I had tc be fed with spoon. I had a craving for something like coffee, but that was impossible. so Father went to town and got some Postum Food Coffee and when he asked the doctor if might have it, he quickly answered, Yes Mother made it exactly as di-
 
 and it was delicious. satisfied every craving, and best of all, stayed on my stomach without distress, giving com fort instead. For several days I lived on Postum. gradually increasing the amount I took until I could drink d cupful. Then I begin to take solid food with it, and SO got well and strong again. I now use it constantly. and I am entirely free from stomach trou- ble.
 Father and Mother both use it. Coffee made Mamma nervous and dis agreed with her stomach SO that she would taste it for hours after drinking. Father had stomach trouble for six years. and used to be deprived of vari- ous articles of food on account of it. Now he can eat anything since he quit coffee and uses Postum. Father says that it is better than Mocha or i Java" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

NEARER THAN IT SEEMED.
The Day Conference Did Not Promise
 an Early Agreement

Washington, October 15.-The pro- longed anthracite coal strike, while not yet practically settled, some progress was made today, and while there re- main certain obstacles to be removed, these, in the language of Secretary Root, it is believed can be solved and termination of the strike finally se- cured. The principal of these obstacles was the composition of the proposed commission or board to arbitrate the differences between the miners and op- orators. Mir Mitchell indicated formal ly today to President Roosevelt that the mine workers union dissents from the restriction placed by the operators on the choice of the proposed arbitra- ton tribunal, and desires the president to have an absolutely free hand in the selection of the members of the com mission to be charged with the adjust ment of future relations between em- ployers and employees.
 He laid special stress in stating his objections on the proposition that one of the commission should be a judge from eastern Pennsylvania. He was very insistent on some of his objections which he voiced in what might be termed counter proposition to that of the operators. After the president and the head of the miners union had exchanged views freely and gone over the counter proposition of MT. Mitchell a call was sent out by President Nit ohell for joint meeting tomorrow of the executive boards of the mine work CTS union for the three anthracite dis tricts of Pennsylvania. At this meet ing 1t is believed an agreement will be reached on the statement to be official ly promulgated by the miners union ir
