hesitated, then determined to tell his story.
1t might as we'll be done now; it would

Among other unpleasant forecasts the
seeress is alleged to have informed Mrs.
Stroner whom she knew to be possessed OF
some fortune, that her son would never
come to see her after she was dead. which
so wrought up on the sensitive pride of the
one about to die that she Immediately de-

YAoU1s SENT TO YUcATAN.
Captured Indians Sent to a Place OF
Deadly Climate.

MEXICO CITY, Mexico, August 1O.-Let-
ters from Guayamas announce that 400
Yaqui Indians, prisoners. are on their way
to the hot lands of Yucatan. where they
will be kept in captivity for the remainder
of their lives. More than 5000 Yaquis have
been killed in battle or captured and de-
ported to Yucatan in the last five years,
but the remnant of the once powerful tribe
keep up the war against federal authority.
Among the prisoners deported are many
women and children. All are made to work
upon the henequin plantations. The change
of climate from the high mountains of the
north to the low tropical lands of the south
soon has a fatal effect upon most Of the
prisoners.

Paul in l Corinthians, xii, now found in the
church?
Answer. The apostle distinctly foretells
the discontinuance of these gifts q Cor.
kits, and gives the reason. The church.
he says would come into more developed
condition in which these gifts would no
longer be needed, when a higher. nobler and
more certain manifestation of the spirit
would salty Gods people. Then the New
Testament had not been written. Now the
wonderful truths recorded are adequate to
all the relations and duties of life Even
in the apostles time the gifts of healing
and of tongues were considered to be in
ferior to the principle of love dominating
the heart and life q Cor. xii:3D, as out
lined in the thirteenth chapter. Why do so
many imagine that believers of this age
should be like those Of any former age?
Why is 1t not understood that the religious
life of the people is progressive, taking on
new expressions continuously? The char
acteristics of any past time may not be ex-
pected or desired in our time.

Sightseers in Washington as we'll
as resid ents, are greatly interested in
the freakish plant now on exhibition
at the Government Botanical gardens.
This strange specimen of the bot
anical world is popularity called the
"mother-in-law plants because it is
so closely related to the venerable
mother-in-law joke. It is the only
plant of its kind fourishing in the
United States and was originally
brought to this country from South
America by Prussian traveller who
discovered the peculiar properties of
the bush by biting into its large
stock, the result being that he was
deprived of his power OF speech for
about week.
The sap of the plant causes the
tender nerves of the tongue to become
swollen and produces temporary loss
of speech. So far, but one visitor to
the Government garden has been
willing to try the experiment. This
was a woman, the wife of a former
official who doubted that
the plant contained the power to |
silence the tongue. She bit into a |
piece OF the trunk and as result,
her mouth and throat required |
attention for several days.

caused in official circles over the an
nouncement that the President had
decided to make at the opening OF
congress, all cabinet changes neces-
sary incident to filling the vacancy
on the supreme court bench by the
of Attorney General
Moody. The plan to have these
changes MADE now, instead OF at the

part of the president to have as many

may be in his new Office to look after
