ECal sea Serperts.

In New Caledonia sea serpents are
frequently seen and sometimes cap
turcd. They are curious creatures,
lho head being very small and
scarcely distinguishah!e from the
body and the tail being formed like
an oar. In length they are generally
be,w three and four feet. In the
jaws there are tiny gland contain
ing poison, but as the mouth is very
small it is difficult for them to bite,
and the natives handle them fear
lessly. NJ. kermogant, European
traveller, recently witnessed an ex-
pertinent at Noumea which shows
that under certain conditions the
sea serpent can do deadly work. A
rat was caught in trap, and its
tongue was grasped by a pair OF
pinchers and placed in the mouth OF
D sea serpent. The serpent immedi-
ately bit it, and the rat died i'll four
minutes

Teachings Of Christian Science
and It's Growth in St. Paul

The Christian Science movement in
st. Paul, which now has two churches
and a large number of students, had it's
origin in st. Paul about ten years ago.
1t was known as the Christian Science
society at first, but in 1897 it became
the Christian science church, the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, then being
established.
1t held services in the Ryan Annex,
on Robert street. Later more comfort
able quarters were found in the Rau-
denbuSh hall, which at present affords
the church home for this branch. In
1901, believing that the prosperity Of
the cause would be increased thereby,
a second church was incorporated,
known as Second Church of Christ,
Scientist, with a membership of TWEEN
~, and the church property at Holly
avenue and st. Adams street, known
as the Oxford M. E. church, was pur-
chased from the Goodyear Rubber COM
pany, into whose hads it had fallen
through foreclosure of a mortgage, for
$4,000. The first payment of $1,000 was
made in September of that year, soon
after the church was organized.
This church now has a membership
OF thirty-fve, and an average Sunday
attendance of about 125. That of First
church is considerably larger.
AS an auxiliary to the church work
each church has reading room, where
the Christian Science literature is fer
sale and where anyone desiring to
make inquiries about Christian Sci
ence may do SO, and also read the lit
erature. The reading room of First

In regard to the claims Of Christian
Science, the test book saws: 7 have

d1ately witness the full fruitage OF
christian Science, or that sin, disease
and death would not continue for an

ence, ethics and temperance have re-

such are the present fruits. what NAV
not the harvest be when this science
is more generally understood?
In this city there are q number OF
practicing students of Christian Sci
ence, as shown i'll the columns Of the
christian Science Journal, published in
Boston. This monthly publication with
the Weekly Christian Science Sentinel
are the only legitimate organs of this
denomination.
There is q board of lectureship I'M

men and women qualified to speak up
on Christian Science. The churches

tan Science has brought them out of
not only bodily sickness, but despair,
anxiety distress and other mental
troubles. Many have been healed
through reading the text book, Sci
ence and Health With Key to the
Scriptures by Mary Baker G. Eddy.
Ihls book, copyrighted in 1875, has
now passed through more than 26O
EDITIONS of 1000 copies each, which
shows what a demand there is for it.

Thirteen Lepers Live in
the State Of Minnesota

Minnesota has within her borders
more lepers than any other state in the
Union, according to the number of pop
ulatlon. That this should be 50, not
withstanding the fact that Minnesota
is generally conceded to be the health
lest state in the Union, is not a matter
for such great surprise when one con-
siders the number of immigrants who
have for years been peopling her fertile
prairies. -
In the days Of old there were three
kinds of leprosy@ acknowledged by the
physicians of that, time-the Elephan-
tlasis, Graecorum of the Norwegians;
the Leontiasis Of the ancient Greeks,
and the Zaraath OF the Jews. This dis
ease was unknown among the Hebrew
people before their Punishment into
Egypt, and had peen unknown in Pal
eStine before the return Of the chosen
people there; so it is safe reasoning to
conclude that it was contracted by
them during their sOjourn upon the
banks of the Nile. 1t is also now cen
ceded that it was from Palestine
brought to Greece by Jewish traders,
and that the leprosy of the two coun-
tries are identical. This was termed
Leontiasis by the Greeks because of the
leOnine appearance given to the face
by the ravages of the disease.
The first traces Of this disease found
IN Europe west OF Greece were 0lSCOV
cred in the eighth century, when the
returning crusaders brought it back
with them from the Holy Land. Today
it is found in plentyin Norway, Swe-
den and Denmark IN the north, and
along the shores Of the Mediterranean
to the south. 1t is found in the West
indies, in the islands OF the Pacific
ocean, in Madeira and i'll many parts
of South Americas IN North America
it isvconfined to tFeA following places,
given in the order asto its prominence,
Mexico, British Columbia, California,
Minnesota, New Brunswick and Louisi-
ana. Only two Iazarettos are within
the borders of the American continent
both in Canada. One in New Bruins
wick and one in the Pacific ocean about
seven miles from the. British Columbia
coast. Ia
The first lazaretto to be established in
America was in New Brunswick; it is
situated on the island of Sheldrake in
the Miramichi river.

What 1t Teaches.
In speaking of Christian Science.
Mr.. Van Meter, of the Second church,
said:
TT is the science of the relationship
that exists between God and His unit
verse, including man, and therefore
should be the most absorbing etudy
that can be INDUCED in. The Chris
tan Sctentiet believes that all the er-
ror in the world is the fruit of the be-
lief in more than one God more than
one power, hence in order t. abolish
1t, the Omntpctence Of God must be
understood and necessarily declared.

WORTH KNOWING
At This Season of the Year.

Any cough accompanied by expectora-
ton which lasts over three or four days,
requires attention and treatment; this
does not mean a visit to the hospital, nor
to your physician nor wholesale drugging
with patent medicines; but it means that

to run it's course and 1t is only the eXer-
else of common every day caution to cure
a cold as quickly as possible, not so much
for what it is at the moment, but what
it may become if neglected.
Perhaps no remedy is so safe, reliable
and convenient to stop cold or obstinate
cough as Stuart'S Catarrh Tablets.
The extract of blood root contained in
them. combined with the red gum of the
Eucalyptus tree seem to put the mucous
membrane of the nose, mouth and throat
in condition to throw off the germs of
catarrh, bronchitis and consumption, and
as they are taken internally they seem to
equalize the circulation and place the
body in that condition of health which

A person in perfect health rarely
catches cold, and if he does, throws it off
in a day or two, but: where the cold
hangs on, stopping up the nostrils, irrita-

moving cough, it is evident that the sys-
tenn for some reason IS unable to throw
off the disease germs which cause the
trouble; a little assistance is necessary
and this is best given by the use of some
harmless germ destroying antiseptic like
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, which are also
