Some Predictions.


The author Of the "Vision Of Piers
Plowman," work written in the reign
of Edward I'LL, predicted, with great
distinctness the fall Of the religious
houses in England. AS every one
knows, the event took place in the
reign Of Henry VIII, about 200 years
later.
Sir Walter Raleigh foresaw and pre-
dicted the spread Of nonconformity in
England. His weighty and memorable
words were: "Time will even bring it
to pass, If it be not resisted, that God
will be turned out Of churches into
barns and from thence again into the
fields and mountains and under hedges.
ALI order Of discipline and church gov
eminent will be left to newness Of
opinion and mems fancies and as many.
kinds Of religion spring up as there are
parish churches In England"
In work written 500 years before
the event took place Tacitus foresaw
and predicted the evils and disorders
which were so long to desolate Europe
on the fall Of the Roman empire. His
words are worthy Of repetition: when
the Romans shall be hunted out from
these countries which they have con-
Quered, what will then happen7 The
revolted people, freed from their mas
ter oppressor. will not be able to sub
sist without destroying their neighbors,
and the most cruel wars will exist
among all these nations"

Easy to Mix This

What will appear very interest.
ing to MANY people here is the ar
ticle taken from New York daily
paper, giving a simple prescription,
as form ulated by a noted authori-
ty, who claims that he has found a
positive remedy to cure almost any
case of backache or kidney or blad.
der arrangement, in the following
simple prescription, if taken before
the stage Of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla, three ounces. Shake we'll in
a bottle and take in teaspooOful
doses after each meal and again at
bedtime.
A well.know druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this
prescription, stated that the ingred-
tents are all harmless, and can be
obtained at small cost from any
good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up if asked
to do so. He further stated that
while this prescription is often pre-
scribed in rheumatic Affections
with splendid results, he could see
no reason why it would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and
urinary troubles and backache, as
it has a peculiar action upon the
kidney structure, cleasing these
most important organs and helping
them to sift and filter from the
blood the foul acids and waste mat
ter which cause sickness and suffer
ing. Those Of our readers who
suffer can make no mistake in giy.

MESSENGER.

Considerable excitement was cre-
ated here this week upon learning
tliatsgas had been struck on pro-.
perty Of the Alexander Mill& Sup
ply Co. Although the gas has
beer burning for several weeks
very few residents knew of it until
the fact was made public this week.
The we'll is little over thousand
feet deep. In boring "A fine stream
Of salt sulphur water was encoun-
tered. which resembles the water
found at Webster Springs. The
casing has all been pulled from the
well except about 300 feet This
has been so arranged that persons
wanting the water can get it in
unlimited quantities. Crowds Of
Marlinton people 20 to the well
daily and partake of its healing
waters. Mr.. Alexander is prepar-
ing to bore another well and see if
gas can be found III paying guam
titles. There is no doubt that it
can be found. as the gas escaping
from the we'll only thousand feet
in depth is sufii Gent to keep a jet
burning constantly.
Tom James (colored) aged 1902
years, was here this week looking
for his daughter. lie has lately
been visiting daughter in Char
lesion and purchased a ticket to
Marlinton instead Of Seebert where
his daughter, Lizzie Mann, lives.
He left the train here Saturday and
being blind and feeble he vas TAX

ties and kept at the Jail until his
daughter could be heard from.
She was at the exposition and upon
her return Tuesday the old man
was sent to her at Seebert. He
was born in 1905 aud belonged to
the family Of Judge Staples, al

he served as cook in an officers
mess in the Confederate army. He
has belonged to the Methodist
church for 60 years and never
drank a drop of liquor 10 his life.
he was lost in the west some years
ago and lived with an Indian tribe

When the door was broken down, Bur.
dett was found calmly. seated In. his
library, an infant son upon his knee,
whom he was teaching to read Magma
Charta.
William Pitt, perhaps the greatest Of
British orators, was, according to Graf
tan, IAN incompatible actor" Pitt
would seize upon every trffling occur
renee with the rapidity Of lightning
which could add force to his eloquence.
1t is related that on one occasion when
attacking Radical motion late at
night the lights of the house went out.
Pitt paused, and then In the darkness
his voice rang out:
100 on! If the constitution must be
wounded, let 1t receive it's mortal stab
now in this dark and midnight hourw
Action on the motion was postponed
and finally lost. One of Pitts oppo-
nents afterward said:
HE made us feel like conspirators
doing bloody deed simply by the lack
of candles and his marvellous voice."
Pitt was fully aware of the effect Of
this. He once solemnly began a speech
upon colonial reforms by the words,
Sugar, Mr.. Speaker when he was
interrupted by smothered laugh from
some Of the younger members.
He paused, glared from bench to
bench and then In a white heat Of fury
cried out Sugar! Sugar! sugarl
three times.
So powerful We're the tones Of the
orator that frightful silence followed.
He looked at the awestruck members
and said contemptuously, "Who laughs
at me and sugar nowT and went on
with his speech.
On another occasion, while hurting
contempt at Lord Efhngham. he sud-
denly appealed to figure In the tapes
try On the wall as IAN immortal ances-
tor Of this degenerate lord, indignant
at the disgrace of his race and coun-
try" So fine was the action, we are
told, that the house thrilled with ex-
element only remembering afterward
thot luc BIc0I ououc WuOSS WThIu
he deprecated was worked by a needle
upon the canvas.
The passion for acting could 60 no
further than In duke of the great
French house Of Rohan, who, being
told that he had only half an hour to
live, caused himself to be taken up,
dressed In court costume, with all his
orders and jewels, and seated In the
banqueting room, where he received
his friends with grace and dignity.
Finding himself growing blind, he rose,
exclaming, "Ah, the King is here" sa-
luted and fell dead.
Napoleon, according to his biogra-
piers, possessed dramatic talent Of no
low grade. Indeed, 1t has even been
asserted that he took lessons Of the
celebrated player Talma. At any rate,
the Corsican on no occasion lost sight
OF the dramatic possibilities Of word
or an action. How the devoted legions
must have thrilled when under the
shadow Of the pyramids he delivered
to them bis Soldiers, from these pyra-

Tea Chewing Habit.

II had an odd case Of tea chewing
the other day." said physician. 1.-THE
man was yellow and emaciated. he
had been chewing China tea for seven
years. He said that at first tea chew
ing had had q wonderfully stimulating
effect on him.
"I drank In those days. he admit
ted frankly, and sometimes I would
turn up at the shop after putting away
twenty or twenty-five beers, with only
three hours Of sleep to my credit. Nat
urally I'd feel seedy; but, sir, by chew
ing few mouthfuls Of tea I'd become
almost as alert and fresh as ever
again
"As the habit grew on the man,
though, its stimulating effect died. 1t
finally failed to stimulate him ct all,
but without 1t he was nervous, he got
headaches. and he had no appetite. OF
course advised him to abandon tea
chewing-to abandon 1t gradually.
What interested me in his case was
his claim that In tea shops-he worked
In a tea shop-the chewing Of the
leaves was fairly common thing
