SPIRITUAL SIGHT.

To him who has faith all things
are possible.
Faith is that something in man
that transcends every form of limi-
tation and opens the mind to the
limitless powers of the soul.
1t is faith that emancipates the
person; it is faith that unfolds the
unbounded greatness of the soul; ii
is faith that removes the veil of mys-
terry and reveals to man that Won
Gerful world, that limitless world,
that divinely beautiful world that
is within.
Faith has been the hidden secret
of the great souls in every age;
faith has been the secret through
which all miracles have been
wrought faith has been the secret
through which the prophet gained
his wisdom and his powers; faith
has been the secret through which
the sons of glory gained their rare
and wonderful genius; faith has been
the secret through which everything
high, everything worthy and every
thing beautiful has been given to
the world.
1t is faith that the awakened
minds have eternally sought to find,
though not always knowing that the
hidden secret was faith, and faith
alone; and it is faith that Will
change the world, as the world
should be changed, when its inner
sanctuary has been entered by the
mind of man.
Faith is the hidden secret to
everything; the key that unlocks
every door that may exist IN the
universe; faith is the perfect way
to the inner world from which al
things proceed; faith is the roya
path to unbounded power. inn
measurable wisdom and llmltles'
love; faith is the gates ajar to thai
! kingdom which first must be sought
! if all other things are to be added
/ faith is the hidden secret TO ever!

ing to health officers and physicians
in general all over the State to
guard against possible outbreak
of smallpox. He especially en-
phasizes unusual care in eXamina-
ton of cases that might be suppos-
ed to be other diseases.
Eighty-four cases of smallpox in
a mild form are now existent in the
State. All are believed To have been
imported from other states. The two
latest reported were returned last
Friday from Moosic, Lackawanna
county
THE first symptoms of all these
cases" said DR.. Dixon Friday night,
very greatly resemble an ordinary
attack of la grippe. Because of this
resemblance physicians and others
are apt to be careless and infection
will thus be spread"

MARCH.

Cometh March, with wind and
rain,
Smashing on the window pane,
Little zephyrs here and there
Lifting roofs high in the air.
Blowing hats from A to D.
Raising thunder on the sea.
Filling all the air with dust,
On their mad boreal bust,
Now and then we hear the hum
OF the billiards. frolicsome,
As about the land they tack,
Giving early spring a whack;
Filling all the ways with snow.
Setting plumbers hearts aglow.
Raising thunder with the car
OF the trolleys near and far.
Now and then a robins peep
Tells us somewhere life is cheap.
And the rose gives us the laugh
At nine dollars and nalf,
For it knows that Casters moon
VIII be shining very soon
And amid this wintry scene
Cometh March the Seventeen.
Marvel month this month of
March,
Filling up our souls with starch;
Now a lion, now a lamb,
Now a blat, and now slam

Cigarette smoking is one of the
