The lecture of the Rev. ]. Il. Nu-
gent, of Des Moines, at the Aberdeen
opera house, on the evening of the
18th inst, was listened to by a large
audience, and no gathering id Aber-
deem was ever more edited by lee
turer. Father Nugent is considered to
be one of the leading orators of the
West, and his discourse on "Philoso-
ply of Civilization" is one we'll calcu-
lated to show his splendid ability. He
spoke for over two hours, and the au-
dience went away feeling well satis-
fed. From Aberdeen, Father Nugent
proceeded to Butte City, Mont, where
he lectured on st. Patrick's Day.

Testing the Sermon,

The minister of a parish in a part Of
New England where doctrinal points
are considered of great Importance
says that his test Of a satisfactory SER
mon is the opposite of that which is
commonly applied.
my clerical friends in the city tell
me that SC long as their congregations
appear wide-awake and interested they
feel encouraged" he said to a visitor,
but with me it's different.
"Of course l wish to interest the con
gregation, but If l look over to Deacon
Drew's pew, and then to Deacon
Shows, and see them with their eyes
closed and heads nodding, 7 feel that
all is well. Just as surely as l dis

YOUTH AND GRABBED OLD AGE.
Young Men Who Would Not Allow
Themselves to Be Sque1ched.

Young Men Who would Not Allow
Themselves to Be Sque1ched.
Our respect for age dwells in us side
by side with enthusiasm for youth.
Nothing gives one more of a glow than
when a young man deservedly beats a
man Of an older generation. 1t is that
glow which has made a familiar quota
ton of Pitts famous retort to Walpole,
that crushing sentence beginning, 1.-The
atrocious crime of being a young man."
A judge named Robinson was noted
for his peevish, sneering manner.
Hoare, the Irish lawyer, was once ar
guing in a case before him. The Judge
was unusually stern, and finally reused
the young barrister by accusing him of
intending to bring the kings commits
sion into contempt.
mo, my lord" said Hoare; 81 have
read in a book that when a peasant,
during the troubles of Charles l.. found
the crown in a bush, he showed it all
reverence, In like manne l shall re
spect the kings commission, though J
find it on a bramble."
Robinson was reported to have riser
to his rank by the publication of some
slavish and scurrilous pamphlets. Once
in the days when Curran was poor and
unknown, struggling against great ad.
versity, he appeared before Robinson.
The judge tried to extinguish him
When Curran declared that he had con
suited all his law books, and could moi
find a case that did not support his
position, Robinson answered:
81 suspect your Jaw library is rather
contracted"
This brutal and unnecessary remark
stung Curran's pride and reused him
at once.
ut is true, my lord" he said, after ,
moments contemptuous silence, thai
l an poor, and the circumstance has
curtailed by library. My books are not
numerous, but they are select, and !
hope 1 have perused them well. l have
prepared myself for this high profese
sion rather by the study of a few good
books than by the composition of 0
great many bad ones"

Lion a Ely

The keeper of the carnivora house at
the Philadelphia zoo led the group of
visitors to the outdoor quarters of the
lions. Look at that fellow over there"
he said. ITS interesting to watch
him catching flies"
The lion lay beside a little puddle
that the tain of the night before had
made. He dipped his paw into the
sticky mud and then extended the
member and lay very quiet. The paw
served as a fly trap. Flies lighted ON
1t and stuck fast; buzz all they would
they could not get away. And the
lion, says the Philadelphia Record,
after a dozen or two were collected,
calmly crushed them and prepared his
paw again.
HE does that every day." the keeper

Stephen Phillips Psychic Experience.
In a New York paper appears the re-
port of an interview which a CORE
spondent of that journal says he had
with Stephen Phillips while in London.
Mr.. Phillips and the interviewer had
lunch. 'I'Il tell you a strange thing
that happened to me once" said Mr..
Phillips, and he laid his knife down, as
though psychics and cheese would not
blend. my wife and l had taken a
little house for the season in Surrey.
Beerbohm Tree wanted me to go to
Marienbad with him In order to discuss
Herod, and | went. When l returned
my wife met me at the station and told
me that nothing ON earth would induce
her to live any longer in the Surrey
house. She had heard horrible noises,
and every night the wailing of a child
kept them all awake. II did not laugh
at her" Mr.. Phillips is reported to have
said, for these things do not appeal to
me, as they do to others, as ridiculous.
determined to investigate, and l wrote
to the late f. W. H. Myers. of the So.
ciety for Psychical Research. MI.
Myers sent a man down and gave US
particular instructions not to tell him
what we had heard or to give him any
clue whatever as to the kind Of noises
that had disturbed us. The man came
down, slept a night in the house, and re-
turned to London. We had no inter-
course with him at all. Later on Mr..
Myers wrote us hat after due investi-
CATION they had discovered that a child
had once been murdered In this particu-
lar house. I thought 1t, and still think
1t, remarkable, for 1t was the wailing of
a child that had annoyed US, and we
had not mentioned the fact to the inves-
tigator. That, l may say, is the only
psychic experience 1 ever had"

Plants Which Cough.

Man has not a monopoly on cough
ing. Before there was a vertebrate on
the earth, while man was in process of
evolution through the vegetable world,
Etada Tussien-that is what the bot
anists call him, while we know him as
the coughing bean"-coughed, and
blew dust out of his lungs. Recently
botanists have beer giving special at
tention to this bean, and tell interest
ing things about it. 1t Is a native of
warm and moist tropical countries,
and objects most emphatically to dust.
When dust settles on the breathing
pores In the leaves of the plant and
chokes them a gas accumulates inside,
nd when it gains sufficient pressure
there comes an explosion with a sound
eaxctly like coughing, and the dust is
blows from its Judgment. And, more
strange still. the plant gets red In the
face through the effort.-London Ex-

Hon. David Meekison is well known not
only in his own State but throughout
America. He was elected to the Fifty
fifth Congress by a very large majority,
and is the acknowledged leader of his party
in his section of the State.
Only one flaw married the. otherwise com
plete success of this rising statesman: Ca
tarrh, with its insidious approach and te-
nacious grasp, was his only ~unconquered
foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccess-
full warfare against this personal enemy.

In cases where bronchitis has become
chronic from want of proper treatment
In the earlier stages, there is nothing
SO good as DR.. August Koenig's Ham
burg Breast Tea, in conjunction with
which is strongly advised the use of st.
Jacobs Oil as an outward application
along the front of the throat, from
close up under the chin to well down to
the top of the chest; the n remedy as
sists the other, and as intended, they
work in complete unison. The wonder
full penetrating power of st. Jacobs
Oil enables it to reach the adhesion of
foreign matter which lines the bronchial
tubes and which makes breathing more
and more difficult. AS these adhesions
become inflamed and enlarged st. ia
cob's Oil causes such adhesions to
break away, making expectoration east
er and more free. DR.. August Koenig's
Hamburg Breast Tea, drank slowly and
very hot, soothes and heals the parts,
is comforting and quieting, stops the
cough and relieves the breathing. This
manner of treatment (and there is no
other two remedies hat will work to-
gether so successfully reaches, the
difficulty from the outside nd the in
side at the same time. st. jacobs
Oil reaches the roots of the adhesion,
and assists DR.. August Koenig's Ham
burg Breast Tea in clearing them; then
both remedies act in unison in healing
and curing. The above remarks apply
with equal force in cases of asthma,
Group, whooping cough, enlarged tom
sils and all bronchial affections. Every
family should have ST. Jacobs Oil and
DIR. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast
Tea always in the house in order that
they may be promptly used in the first
stages. Often the maladies develop
with wonderful rapidity, and compli-
cations TAKE place with equal sud
