The public debt of Russia is So 300, ooo,-
600; her gold reserve is about $500, 100000
and there is perhaps s340, 900 in gold
in circulation in the empire. M. dc White
said recently In a meeting of the council
of state: 1.-THE imposition of direct and
Indirect taxes upon population has
reached the last possible limit. To lay
any further burden upon the tax-paying
power will not only be fruitless Of results,
but can hardly be regarded as permissible
in the present economic condition Of the
country
Flogging is still allowed in English pris-
ons as a punishment for mutiny of vio-
lence, but recently published statistics
make it doubtful whether even in these
extreme cases corporal punishment serves
the purpose for which it is intended.

BABY IS BAROMETER,
ELECTRIFIED BY BOLT

West Chester, Pa Aug. 6.-An in
FAINT child of Thomas Parker of
Lenape was recently rendered uncon-
scious by an electric bolt which struck
near the house, and subsequently
turned black over the body. The
child was brought to the Chester
county hospital and recovered.
Since then, however, it has acted
as sure barometer for an approach
ing storm. Immediately preceding the
approach of thunderstorm the
child will turn purple about the
| mouth, while it's face becomes quite
dark and remains so until after the
storm passes. 1t is phenomenon
| that no one appears to understand.

ROCK HAS GOOD CROPS
Some Rust, but the Damage Is Con-
paratively Light.

Special to The Journal.
Luverne, Mimi, Aug. all the
oats in Rock county are in the shock.
Much Of the barley is stacked and
some threshing Is being done. Both
barley and oats are a splendid crop:
Some complaint has been heard of
black rust in wheat fields, but an ex-
haustive examine ton indicates that
the damage will be comparatively
light. About one-fourth of the wheat
fields in the county are affected and In
these the loss in yield will probably
be about rs per cent.

Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After
Ten Years Of Suffcrina.

II wish TO say a few words in praise
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Disrrhoea Remedy says Mrs Matte
Burge. of Martinsyille, Va. Il suffered
from chronic diarrhoea for ten years
and during that time tried various
medicines without obtaining any per-
manent relief. Last summer one of my
children was taken with cholera NOR

remedy. Only two doses were required
to give her entire relief. / then de-
cided to try the medicine myself, and
did not use all of one bottle before /
was well and / have never since been
troubled with that complaint. One can
not say too much in favor of that Won
derful medicine" This remedy is for

TRAGIC INSOMNIA
Murderou. Rage Caused by Lack of
Sleep Proves Fatal to Two
People.

A fearful tragedy recently occurred in
Philadelphia where a prominent chem
list shot both his wife and himself after
q desperate struggle. His physicians
are reported as saying that the terrible
affair was due to mental arrangement
caused by sleeplessness.
Many suffer from this cause without
knowing how to obtain relief, while
their condition daily grows more des-
perate. All such will read with inter-
est how Mr.. Thomas Hessian, of South
Hampton, n. H., finally succeeded in
Kidding himself of an attack of insom-
MIA which baffied the skill of his physi-
clan.
Mr.. Hessian is farmer and is in the
habit of retiring very early. 1t was in
April. 1903. that he found he could no
longer get the sleep that he needed to
ft him for his days duties.
Il would turn from one side to an
other in bed" says Mr., Hessian. but l
could not get over fifteen minutes
sleep before l was awake again. and
when I got up in the morning l was
more tired than when l went to bed at

said / had insomnia. He prescribed

shirtwaisted Mon in Church.

A dispatch from Newark n. j. stated
that a pastor In that city had devised a
novel method for assuring a steady at
tendance at his church during the hot
weather. The men in his flock will be
permitted to attend services minus
coats and vests while the women will
not be required to wear their hats.
This pastor believes that "a minister
cannot expect to impress congrega-
ton with spiritual truths when they
are suffering from bodily discomfort"
AS proof of his own independence he
adds: II have promised my congrega-
ton that I will attend the services
without wearing my hat. l think there
are scores of people who do not attend
church in summer who would do so if
they could come In comfort" Religion
is matter of the heart and of the head
of faith and reason-not of clothes.
There is no valid objection that can be
urged against people making them
selves comfortable in church. The man
who is thinking more of the present
discomforts of his body than Of the
possible future discomforts Of his soul
will probably derive little benefit from
church attendance. If q man can be
saved only In his shirt sleeves and
woman without her hat, there would
seem to be every justification for the
innovation which the Newark pastor
proposes to introduce. Let every
thing" wrote one of the apostles, "be
done decently and in order" Perhaps
he would have baked at shirtwaisted
men and hatless women in the holy
temple. He took his religion very ser
iously. however. and didn't shirk wor-
ship because of the state of the wealth
en- Modern religion is not wholly in
different to the thermometer.

The question. OF what practical
value to a preacher is a scientific study
of social problems? is almost like ask
| ing OF what practical value to car
penters would q knowledge of carpen-
tering be? A minister's profession Is
| to be acquainted with the business of
| the Kingdom of God, TO preach the
| saving doctrine of Christ about the
| kingdom, and to further the interests OF
/ the kingdom by taking leading and
exemplary part in putting its precepts,
| rules and maxims into practice. The
advantage of a study of social prob
| lens to preacher is that 1t brings him
| in touch with all that II was the chief
| aim of Christ to see transformed thru
| the fultiIlment of His CHIEF command
| ment Of love and service between man
and man. A Christian minister ought
| to know how to teach the way in which
| spiritual truth can find its material en-
bodment in home life, In business
methods and In commercial transac-
| tons: and also in national affairs and
! in international relations. He should
| not be the partisan of one class against
another class, of labor against capital.
or of capital against labor. but he
should bring home a sense of living re-
| sponsibility to individuals of all classes,
of their duty to carry out, in practice.
the principles of Christian ethics in all
the ordinary relations of their daily
| lives. This sense of personal obliga-
ton should be insisted upon in the
Christianization of business. Our
music, painting, architecture and liter
allure have all been largely Christian
lied; while manufacture and commerce
and industry in general are today more
pagan than Christian. II preacher
could demonstrate to the unbelieVing
world that the golden rule of the Cos
pei is practicable in business, he would
do more for the kingdom than If he
were to preach, with all the eloquence
OF a Chrysostom, about a spiritual life
that ignored our duties Of social SER
