Mcconnell Discovery in Vital Force Believed to
Be an Epoch-making Discovery that
Means NeW Era.
To Control the Amount of Vital Force Means Health and Longer
Life for the Race.

Three centuries back we knew nothing
Of the laws Of the mechanical forces.
Consequently all modern inventions OF
steam and electricity were impossible
Science knows nothing now Of the laws
of the life forces. II We understood their
laws We could do many things with life
now considered impossible
Mr.. McCOnneHs Investigations into the
laws pf the life forces prove that they
can be increased and regulated as well as
the mechanical forces. This means that
any invalid may cure himself by learning
TO increase his vital force regardless Of
what ails him. as all diseases come from
weakened vitality. II means that an Old
person may reinvigOrate himself the same
way. as age-feebleness Is but the gradual
weakening OF the vital force.

with the city OF Washington during the
civil war times as Mr.. William O. Stod-
dard- As Is well known, Mr. Stoddard
was one Of President Lincoln's private
secretaries during the war and his name

word throughout the country as a writer
of juyepile books. Mr.. Stoddard Is at

TO Washington at this time is the first
that he has taken since President Cleve-
lands last administration.
1t is interesting to note in this con-

An Old Bible Box With Stand.

measure, as rule, from two feet six
inches to two feet nine inches, or
three feet, and it may be taken as a
characteristic of the Bible box proper
that it has no drawers or fittings of
any kind, while the box intended to
hold small articles of value is often
furnished with little shelves, trays,
drawers or pigeon-holes.
Others, again, still more rare, are
set upon a stand of their own, an ex-
ample of this being the box in illus
tration No. 2, which is mounted upon
high oak stand with turned baluster
legs. A particularly fine Bible box OF
the early part of the seventeenth CEN
fury has a very deep-cut carving on
the sides, embodying the favorite de-
vice of the Tudor rose, the vine, and
the daisy, the latter ornament owing
it's origin as an emblem in English dec
orativ art probably to an allusion to
the name Of Marguerite of Anjou,
queen Of Henry VII. 1t is a particu.
larly rare and fine specimen, forming
in itself an extremely decorative piece
of furniture. -,

In the Age of OAK" when furniture
was scarce and books scarcer, the
family Bible more often than not rep
resented the entire library OF the
household, besides serving to contain
the record of it's domestic happenings.
It was among the most valued pos
sessions bequeathed from. father to
son, together with the bed and it's
furnishings and the other household
treasures so carefully enumerated in
the wills and inventories of the time.
But few houses could boast of study,
though here and there a Study existed

Wressil Castle, Yorkshire, of which
Miss Esther Singleton, in her French
and English Furniture" quotes Le-
lands quaint descriptions: "A closet
in the middle of eight squares lattised
about, and at the top of every square
was a deske lodged to fit bookes on
and cofers within them, and these
seemed as Joined hard to the top of
this closett; and yet by pulling, one
or all would come down brlste high in
rabattes, and serve for deskes to lay

there being indeed but little need for
them, and so the sacred folio was gen.
orally provided with a shrine of it's

the chest or table of similar material
and decoration. The seventeenth cen
tury was the period in which these
Bible boxes were most numerously
produced, though they were in use
from the time Of the Reformation I'M
til we'll into the eighteenth century. It
is by no means rare to meet with
them nowadays in old furniture shops
and galleries, and from the decora-
tive as we'll as the unitarian point
OF view, they are distinctly desirable
acquisitions; though note of warn
ing may well be given as to avoiding
the limitations which are all too easy
to come by. That all the Bible boxes,
so-called, were actually and exclusive
ly used for this purpose is doubtful;
probably many did duty as receptacles
for the smaller valuables, personal or
naments and such like which needed
safer keeping than that of the large
chests and Golfers in which clothes
and hangings were slowed away:
sometimes, also, they may have been
used for the preservation of deeds and
papers, though these generally found
a place in specially made iron-bound

Mr.. NJ. V. McInnes, Detroit, Michigan:
Dear Sir and Friend-It will be four
years next May since I came to Odds,
and have lived here ever since.
Since I came here wheat has run
from rs to IS blu. per acre, oats from
65 to 115, that I know of. I raised
that last year, 115 bu. to the acre of
the finest oats l ever saw, and oats
that I sowed 31st day, of May this
year went 721& to the acre and weigh
ed IL lbs. to the bushel. My barley
went 40 bu. last year and so this year,
and was not sown until the latter part
of May. had acres of potatoes this
year and sold 700 bushels and put 275
bu. in the cellar, and no bugs to pick.
We have a fine Government Cream
cry at Odds. Our COWS made 81 per
head and I didn't feed any grain;
only prairie hay, so you see we are do
ing we'll. We have the patent for
our homestead now and am very
thankful that we came to Alberta.
We have made a little over $1,000
each year besides making our living.
would not 60 back to Michigan to
live for anything. If had my choice
of a ticket to Odds or 40-acre farm
in Michigan / would take the ticket
and in two years l could buy any of
them 40-acre farms. This is the coun-
try for a poor man, as we'll as man

prosperity, I remain yours truly,
