any day you may be asked about indi-
Viduals of ancient times. Only today,
make inquiries about Herod Agrippa,
and I was the only one in the whole
building who could tell him when Agrip-
pa the First died. Suppose we had been
out to party and the question had
been asked you? can imagine how
small you would have felt"
But I can't" she quietly replied. Il

a few pointers AgriDpa, who was the
son Of Aristobulus and Berenice. and
grandson of Herod the Great, was edu-
Gated at Rome. He lived there in a
very extrava CANT style, giving splendid
entertainments, especially to the princes
of his imperial family, and scattering
his money laVishly in gifts to the free
men of the emperor. until his debts
rendered it unsafe for him to remain
longer in the city. He then took refuge
in Idumea. From this period almost to
the death OF Tiberius, he suffered a va
riety of nnisfortunes, but having formed
q friendship with Caligula, the latter,
on his accession to the throne, gave
him the tetrarchies of Abilene. Batanea,
Trachonitis and Auranftis. His gov
eminent was mild towards the Jews.
with whom he was remarkably popular;
but he severely prosecuted the Chris
tions. He caused James, the brother of
John. and the head of the church at
Jerusalem, to be beheaded, and Peter
to be thrown into prison. He died at
Caesarea, in Palestine. while celebrat-
ing games III honor of the emperor. in
The 18th year of his age, and the 44th
of the Christian era"

How Consumption Affects
the Lungs-BIood Wine
Makes Startling
Cures.

Do you know what an old, ragged
sponge looks like - habby, torn, with
out life or elasticity That's how a
human lung appears when consumption
has done its deadly work. Yet this ter
riblc disease is durable - if taken in
time. Read the following typical case,
that OF Miss Louise Clements, 90 Aiken
ST., Lowell, Mass:
Last winter / caught a cold which
settled on my lungs, and for weeks
was unable to get out of the house. As
spring drew near, the cold wore off, but
left me with a rasping cough, which
caused me the greatest alarm. Nothing
seemed to stop it; physicians told me
that had developed consumption, and
that they could do little for me except
to make my life easier, unless should
go to another climate. Twas very weak,
my skin feverish and my appetite abso-
lutely gone. A friend advised me to try
Blood Wine and from the very first it
helped me. My strength came back
slowly but surely began to enjoy my
food. Life became worth living, and
to-day am absolutely we'll"
Think of it-just a little cold and
cough at first, and then, first thing you
know, the vampire grip of tuberculosis
closed upon the victim. Better be
warned and take Blood Wine as soon as
you find yourself with cold, cough, or
the least bit run down and overtired.

Addresses Were Heard from Minis
ters in New York.
New York, May 4.-The opening ad-
dress before the American Bible
League to-day was by Rev. DR.. S. s.
Bowman of Newark, N. j., on The
Present Assault on the Bible" He de-
plored the disposition to find fault and
touched on secular criticism Of the
church. Secular editors" he said,
"are wonderful in their desire for har-
mony in the church, but it is safe to
say If they treated subjects like the
trusts and the tariff as they treat the
questions of the church they would
soon find themselves out of work"
Other speakers were Rev. Dr. David
J. Burreli of New York, Rev. DIR. r.
r. Booth, former moderator OF the
Presbyterian General Assembly, and
Bishop w T. Sabine of the Reformed
Episcopal Church.
An address by Prof. Howard Osgood,
d. D., of the Rochester Theological
Seminary was read by DR.. Gregory
Dr. Osgood recounted the points ad-
vanced by Bible critics Of to-day, and
showed them to be identical with those
id Paine's age OF Reason" published
in 1872. BY reference to the works of
Voltaire, Diderot and Paine, he showed
that the arguments of to-day advance

The Texas Authorities Have Estab-

Washington, May 4.-The only in
formation the Department of State has
touching the reported friction between
Mexico and the state of Texas over
the question of cattle quarantine is
contained in a short telegram from
United States Consul General Hanna
at Monterey, saying that Texas has
threatened a quarantine against Next
can cattle, that the Mexican cattle are
free from disease and that the pro-
posed action might lead to retalia-
ton.
The matter may involve an inter-
esting question as to the supremacy
of state and national quarantine laws.
The Department of Agriculture,
through the Bureau of Animal Indus
try, probably will take part in the
investigation likely TO be made.
