Speaking of coffee a nurse of Wilkes

strong coffee myself and suffered great

place of ordinary coffee In two weeks,
after using Postum, l found l was
much benefited and finally my head
aches disappeared and also the indiges-

Naturally l have since used Postum
among my patients, and have noticed
marked benefit where coffee has been
left off and Postum used.
II observed a curious fact about Pos
tum used among mothers. 1t greatly
helps the flow of milk in cases where
coffee is inclined to dry it up, and
where tea causes nervousness.
II ind trouble in getting servants to
make Postum properly. They most al
ways serve 1t before it has been boiled
long enough. 1t should be boiled 10 or
20 minutes and served with cream,
when 1t is certainly a delicious bsv-
erage"

BELATED EXPOSES AT ZION.

one OF the features of the Zion City
eruption which does not seem to have
attracted so much attention as it de-
serves is the remarkable staleness of
the charges which the exposing parties
hurl at each other.
These charges are not doctrinaI nor
ecclesiastical but moral They are
not indictable but they are shameful.
They would be shameful in men and
women making no pretensions to pur-
lty OF life and are tenfold more so In
unose who can only express their
sense of superiority over the common
herd by saying that they are saved
Yet these disgraceful charges have
been kept a secret for years and do
not appear to have been divulged even
now through any horror of them but
for reasons of interest and conven-
fence
If sickness had not Frustrated the
leader and if the finances of Zion had
been honestly conducted Or had even
been in a prosperous condition with
out having been honestly conducted we
nave no reason to suppose that the dis
graceful things that are now proclaim
ed on the housetop would ever have
been known to the public or even to
the rank and file of the Christian Cath
Ole church. They are now made
known not on account of any detesta-
tlon OF them but as a means to an
end.
OF course, no one knows that the
whole truth has yet been told. If
the facts that have leaked out were
concealed for two or three years it IS
possible that many worse things are
still concealed and will not leak ont
Tor some time to come. Indeed. we
are not left to speculation on ynls sinh
Ject, for there have been numerous
threats made that if and if and if. then
the lid will be removed and all present
revelations eclipsed
The saddest thing about belated
exposes is that they are not confined
TO Zion but are the only kind of ex
poses that we ever see in human
aTalrs. We are being treated all the
tlme TO exposes in politics, in religion.
IN business and in society. Can any
one OF them be pointed out in which
shameful things are made public as
soon as they are discovered? The
main facts in the Beecher scandal were
known to a score of people for several
years before they were made public
and it took years of incubation TO
bring the great insurance mess to the
surface
1t must be confessed that religious
bodies are on a different footing in
this respect from Others Their very
object is the attainment of ideal
purity of life and the first essential
OF morality is transparent honesty
and sincerity. A person who sets out
TO be good and begins by pretending
to be good and lying about it is prob
ably the farthest off from goodness
of any living being.
If we were to attempt to frame an
apology for this sort of hypocrisy we
would say that it was due in its first
stages to charity. One of the prime
requisites of religious character is
the ability to believe all things and
hope all things concerning those who
have gone astray Or who have been
accused or suspected of going astray.
It appears at first to be meritorious
thing to forgive wrongs, to overlook
a great deal, to explain away much
and to hope that matters are not rs

Washington, May by vote Of
1873 to So the house decided to con
tinue the free distribution of garden
and flower seed. Many items in the
agricultural bill broadening the scope
of the BUREAU of chemistry DR..
Wiley's department, were eliminated,
particularly those relating to the
adulteration of food, contingent drugs
and beverages. Considerable prog
ress was made on the bill, after the
free seed proposition was out of the
way.

Guided extended discussion of the rail
road rate bill by Senator Daniel, an
explanation of the status of the APP
preparation for the relief of the earth
quake sufferers of California by Sena-
tor Allison. In his rate speech Sen
ator Daniel supported the right of con
gress to legislate SO as to fix rates

tions had been made aggregating

had really been expended by the sec
rotary of war before even the first ap-
preparation of $1,0O0,000 had been
made Unfortunately, ne went on, the
call for help had come in the last
quarter of the fiscal year, when the
appropriations for the purchase OF
supplies for the war department were
we'll nigh exhausted, rendering it
necessary to make prompt refund OF
the money used He added that only
$500 900 of the total sum appropriated
remains unexpended, but said that
every dollar would be used for the
benefit of the California people.

Washington, April 30-The senate
will begin voting on amendments to
the railroad rate bill May f. An
agreement to that effect was reached,
but it proved impossible to so extend
the understanding as to have it in
clude the fixing of a date for taking
the final vote on the bill as whole.
The decision to take up the rate bill
for amendments, under the 15-minute
rule means a final vote on the meas
ure at no distant day. Most of the
time of the senate was devoted to
listening to a speech by Senator
Clark of Arkansas, in which he
criticised the pending rate bill as
Intellectual to remedy existing condi-
tions. Senator Morgan introduced
bill providing that the canal to be con-
structed across the isthmus of Pana-
ma shall be with locks, through the
highlands and Culebra and Emperado,
for a distance of eight and a half
miles, to be connected with sea level
connections at each end by means of
locks to be located in the vicinity of
Obispo and Mira Flores. The plan
provides that the canal shall not be
less than IS feet above the sea level,
as shall be determined by the presi-
dent of the United States. The locks
shall be double or twin locks with
disable lengths of not less than 500
feet, and not less than 80 feet in
width, but the locks shall not be
placed in flights The bill was re-
ferred to the canal committee.
Immediately after the approval of
the journal, Mr. Olmsted of Penn
sylvania, in the house, presented
resolution of thanks on behalf of the
people of the United States to Gen
eral Horace Porter, late ambassador
to France, for his untiring efforts to
discover and disinter the body of Ad-
miral John Paul Jones. The reso1u-
ton was unanimously adopted. Eigh-
teen pages of the agricultural appro-
priation bill were considered and
perfected. vote is expected on
the amendment to insert an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the purchase
and distribution of rare and unusual
seeds"

Among the great disasters recorded
in history there have been few in
which earthquake and fire have coin
bined to destroy life and property as
in San Francisco. Volcanic eruptions
have been frequent Accomplishments
of earthquakes, and, as in the recent
catastrophe around Naples, have been
responsible for great destruction, but
there is no parallel to be found for
the calamity which descended upon
the city of the golden gate. There
nature worked with a vengeance,
first overthrowing the buildings and
then making futile the efforts of man
to subdue the flames which attacked
the ruined structures.
No portion of the globe, scientists
declare, is absolutely immune from
earthquakes, but there are circum-
scribed regions in which the surface is
liable to be shaken which are describ-
ed as earthquake areas" San Fran
cisco is situated within one of these
areas and has experienced numerous
shocks in the past sixty or seventy
years.

Warning is Unheeded.

The earthquake which devastated
Charleston, S. c., in September, 1896,
was preceded by minor tremors, to
which little attention was paid by the
inhabitants of the city The discur-
bance covered a tract of country ex-
tending from the Atlantic coast to the
Mississippi valley, and from Alabama
to Lake Michigan. The principal
shock lasted about one minute, and
other shocks followed at intervals with
gradually diminishing violence. A
large number of houses were thrown
down, and nearly every building in the
city was damaged, the loss being
estimated at millions of dollars. For
four days the population camped out,
afraid to risk their lives within walls
that might be shaken down.

100000 Die in Quake.

100000 Die in Quake.
Most disastrous of all earthquakes,
so far as authentic records show, was
that which occurred in Calabria, Italy,
in 1888, and which killed 100000 per.
sons. 1t originated in the center OF
the province, and extending to The
eastern coast of Sicily destroyed the
city of Messina, a tremendous tidal
wave engulfing the greater portion of
the city
Among the earthquakes of early
date in Italy was that of A. D. g.
which wrecked the cities of Pompeii
and Herculaneum, sixteen years before
they were buried under the lava and
ashes thrown out by Vesuvius. The
most notable earthquake in Italy in
the last century, preceding the one
which swept over the northern part
of the country in 1895 and caused
tremendous damage, took place il
1857 in the kingdom of Naples.
The earthquake which visited
Lisbon, Portugal, Nov. l, 1855, was
one of the most appalling and remark
able manifestations in the history OF
modern times. Sixty thousand lives
are believed to have been lost in six
minutes. 1t was All Saints day. and
the churches were filled with worship
ers, when the rumbling noise which
invariably precedes an earthquake was
heard. A few moments passed, and
then came a shock which threw down
the greater portion of the city before
the people had chance to escape
from the buildings. The sea retired
leaving the bar dry and then rushed
back in wave fifty feet high, engulf-
ing part of the city permanently to a
depth of 500 feet. The shock was
felt in the Alps and on the coast of
Sweden. The waves of the shock
reached as far north as Scotland.
South America Visited.
South America has been subjected
to many severe earthquakes The CITY
of Caracas, Venezuela, was destroyed
by three shocks within a minute n

obliterated by an earthquake in 1859
The city of Lima, Peru, and it's harbor.
Callao, were destroyed by an earth
quake, which occurred in 1868 on the
western coast the mountain region of
the Andes from Chile to Ecuador, a
distance of over ], 900 miles.
This earthquake leveled the cities
of Africa and Arequipa, Peru, to the
ground in a few minutes. Thousands
were killed and many other thousands
were left starving amid the ruins.
The city of Caloocha, in the Andes
of Ecuador, and it's inhabitants, were
literally swallowed up by a gaping
mouth opened by volcanic forces. and
a lake now covers the spot where the
city stood. The cities of Ibra and
Ottovalla shared the same fate, nor

Italy a Danger Spot.

Italy has for ages been peculiarly
subject to these seismic disturbances,
it's recent experience in connection
with the eruption of Vesuvius being
one of the escores occurring in the last
century. Japan, China, India and the
western coast of South America all
have been the scenes of appalling
earthquakes, hundreds of thousands OF
human beings losing their lives.
Compared with other countries the
United States has suffered but little
from earthquakes, the most notable
disturbances of the earth's surface
occurring in 1811-1812 near the head of
the Mississippi delta; in Inyo valley
California, in 1872, and at Charleston,
S. c., in 1886 The earthquake at
Charleston destroyed a large number
of buildings and killed twenty-seven
persons outright, others dying later
from injuries. Eight or ten villages
located in Inyo valley were destroyed
and one-tenth of the population was
killed. The New Madrid earthquake
of 18111812 affected a dozen or more
counties in southern Missouri and
northern Alabama
