A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

It is interesting to note that for tunes are frequently made by the in- ventiun of articles of minor impor- tance. Many of the most popular de- vices are those designed to benefit the people and meet popular conditions, and one of the most interesting of these that has ever been invented IS the Dr White Electric comb, patented January l, 1899. These wonderful combs positively cure dandruff, hair falling out, sick and nervous head aches, and when used with pr Whites Electric hair brush are positive guar anteed to make straight hair curly in 25 days time. Thousands of these electric combs have been sold in vari- ous cities of the Union, and the de- mand is constantly increasing: Our agents are rapidly becoming rich sell ing these combs. They positively sell S5c: ladies' 5Oc-(half price while we are introducing them). The pr White Electric Comb Co.,, Decatur, Ill. x

SOCIAL TOPICS.
SCIENTIFIC REL1aION.-BY o. O.
 WRIGHT.

Let us reflect upon the natural so- cial relations: We must live here together. We are dependent upon each other. We cannot be prosperous alone. We need sympathy and help. Our mutual welfare in all things de- mands that we shall cooperate for our greatest good.
 In view of these simple facts is there any better system of social science than that which is taught us in the New Testament? Is there any other religion which can do so much for the social nature? Is there any system of philosophy, or theory of life which has ever done so much to purity, regulate tions? ..-.-........,.... -y... ...-....
 The same is true when we look at the larger, wider relations of men, in matters of state. Society cannot exist without laws and government. This is one of the simple facts of human ex- perience. How can men live together except as they are agreed to abide by certain principles and rules of con- duct?
 The social nature must be regulated by the moral law. Men must treat each other fairly. Mutual rights and duties must be respected everywhere. In the nature of the case the political and religious interests of society are closely related, and, indeed, are of com mon origin. Heather religions rule in heathen cities, and the Christian re- ligion rules in Christian cities. And we can clearly trace the differences everywhere between the conditions of the people who are under the govern ment of Christian statesmanship, and those who are under other systems of religion. Refer it all to civilization if you will, and even so shall we not claim the superiority of our own Chris pose of Christ is surely in it all, wheth- CT we recognize it as such or not.
 We may go on and apply the same test to the mental and moral condi- tions of society. Christian literature is what it is because the mind and spirit of the Master of men pervade and dominate it's ideals, ethics, and practical examples of conduct and character. The intellectual power of the Christian, other things being equal, must illustrate the fact that the Gospel of Christ stands for the highest attainmentS of the mind and imagination. Christendom leads the world, in thought, reason, invention, In science, ana ln US CreaClVe power or poetic expression. The religion of Christ inspires men everywhere with the noblest ideals and standards; and strengthens all the human powers for the most persistent and heroic conduct and endeavor.
 Looking simply at the facts in the case, as they may be seen in the actual experience of mankind; without any reference to God, or any future life; from a purely scientific point of view; I would urge people to attend church, and be true followers of Jesus Christ; for His Gospel is the highest, purest, sweetest wisdom there is in this world, whatever there may be for us in the hereafter. True religion is the science of right living. To love God supreme ly, with all our powers, is our highest attainment, and chiefeSt good.

Lightning played some queer freaks at Capt A. W. Peck's in the hard shower of last week Monday. A ball of fire broke at MT Peck's feet as he stood near his telephone, and he fell. AS MT Peck and Rev MT Booth were passing from one room to another a flash prOstrated them to the floor and fire seemed to be all about. them, but they got right up, and felt no bad ef- fects. Two boys were sitting on 8 lounge in the kitchen. Lightning came in the door, tearing 8 splinter from the screen door and splitting the handle of an umbrella which hung over their heads, and they felt no ef fects of the lightning. Lightning also tore off the cOrnice to the piazza roof, lifting the tin from the roof, and tore down the telephone wire. It also went into a room over the kitchen and splintered one post to the bedstead, throwing out the castor. In several places 1t looks as if the paper on the walls had been picked of. The re- markable thing of all seems that no fire was started and not one of the occupants of the house felt any bad effects from the lightning.
