Religion and Possum. i i An incident told by the Rev. V. B. ! Carroll in the Homiletic Review makes apparent the necessity in this ! transitory period of getting the Negro inwardly right in order that his 1 relations to society may be right. "We were driving out one Sunday i from Decatur, when we came upon a i negro with a club in his hand and a j freshly killed 'possum on his shoulder. We stopped to examine his prize, and the Colonel said: " 4Mv friend, do vou know it is Sunday?' " 'Sartin, boss.' 44'Are you not a religions man?' 44 4I are. Tze jist on my way home from church.' 44 'And what sort of religion have you that permits you to go hunting on Sunda}?' "'Religion, religion?' queried the man as he held the 'possum up with | one hand and scratched his head with the other. " 'Does you 'spect any black man in Alabama is gwine to tie hisself up to any religion dat 'lows a possum to walk right across de road ahead of him and git away fret? No, sab! A religion what won't bend a little when a fat possum j heads you off, couldn't be 'stablished round about here by all de preachers in de universe. Bismark's Iron Nerve.

An American who detests sight seeing upon principle, loafed for six weeks at Sorrento without stirring in the direction of places most traveleis would have thought it criminal to omit. His only dread was the cross questioning of kind friends when he got home. To confess that he had deliberately staid away from all thofe celebated points of interest, would bring down no end of scorn and denunciation upon him. But sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, and the American resolved to trust to in% > m i spiration to get him out oi sucn scrapes. The first person he met after leaving Sorrento was an American woman on the train, and the first thing she wanted to know was if he climb Vesuvius. UI did,1' said the American without a quiver. "Ob, tell me about it," cried the woman. "How interesting it must have been. My husband never would let me go up; but I'd just love to hear your experience.'' The American, having heard th9 whole story many, many times, plunged into it with much detail. He described the long drive from Naples to the foot of the mountain and the steepness of the inclined railway, and the way the women in the lb Baking Powder PURE lelicious and wholesome OWOCW CO., hEW YORK. perty sqieiled and all the rest of it. From time to time the woman interrupted with some searching question; but so well did he know his lines that never once did she catch him napping. At last, after a realistic account of how, after leaving the train, he had plunged bis way on foot through the hot, powdery lava to the craters very edge, the American paused for breath. "And what," asked the woman, "were your sensations as you gazed down the firey pit?" "Madam," said the American, "I thought of the fate that awaited all liars." His Life Was Saved. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of Ilannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: "I was taken with typhoid fever that ran into pneumonia. My lungs became hardened. I was so weak I couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon die of consumption, when I heard of Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle gave great relief. I continued to use it, and now am well and strong. I can't say too much in its praise."

"War with raw recruits in the beginning is likely to lead to many amusing experiences," said the old army officer who saw Berviee in Cuba. "Now, you couldn't ask for better soldiers than we had in Cuba; but a large number of them were new to the business, and had much to learn, and, much to their credit, it can be said that they soon learned it. "I had occasion to leave our lines one night soon after we arrived in Cuba, and upon my return it sud denly struck me that I had forgotten the countersign. I puzzled over it for sometime; but for the life of me I couldn't recall the word that had been given out. While I was think ing it over I heard the command: "Halt! Who comes there?1 " 'Friend,' I answered, thinking that the countersign would come to me in a moment. " 'Advance,' friend, and give the countersign,' said the sentry. "As the countersign had slipped from me completely, I walked up to him and said, sharply: " 'Call the corporal of the guird?' " 'Gosh,' answered the sentry, 'I knew it was something like that; but I'm derned if I hadn't forgotten it! Mosey on!' "I moseyed on. But I took the trouble to look up the corporal of the guard and have him give the sentry further instructions regarding the duties of a sentry."

From tlis American Journal of Health, 2T@w York. Proprietary Remedies from the View Point of Modern Medical Science. By James R. Thompson, M. D. The time is past when members of the medical fraternity, who would t speak with authority on matters pertianing to their profession, can deny that curative agents of real efScic&cy are to be found among proprietary remedies. Physicians belonging to what may be most aptly termed the "old fogy type" have been repeatedly chagrined at viewing the wonderful cures effected by a proprietary medicine, after they had, in sweeping terms, denounced the use of all specifics of the class under discus cussion a9 fraught with the gravest menances to physical welfare. As a natural consequence of this fact the number of those among the medical profession who still administer universal and unqualified condemnation to proprietary remedies as a class is very small and is constantly on the wane, both as regards numerical strength and in respect to character and ability. The Journal of Health in this matter, as in all others which belong to the field it occupies, has always endeavored to bring its views into complete harmony with the facts that presented themselves to its judgment; and it has never attempted to warp facts in such a way ss to make them fit into its preconceived views. For while the former spirit is indicative of an enlightened and reasoning progress, the latter is an unmistakable sign of intellectual stagnancy. Applying these remarks to the subject of proprietary medicines, we would indicate our attitude in this regard about as follows: While dealing out to the impostures so extensively prevalent in this line the most unequivocal and outspoken censure, we do not hesitate to bestow words of commendation on such specifics as have shown by actual trial before our hygienic staff that there are remedies of undoubted therapeutic virtue. A medicine which has fulfilled our most exacting demands in this respect, and one which therefore we feel justified in recommending to our readers, is uLife for the Liver and Kidneys/' offered by the Life Medicine Company of Spartanburg, South Carolina. It has demonstrated to us, so conclusively a9 to leave no room for doubt even on the part of the most skeptical, that it is a thorough curative agent in all cases of dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation, biliousness, Bright's disease, dropsy, gravel, rheumatism and all disorders arising from a diseased condition of the liver, kidneys and urinary organs. In order to show how completely free from every non judicial consideration our investigations are, we shall indicate briefly the manner in which the examination of the remedy under discussion was conducted. A representative was sent from our office to collect testimony in regard to "Life for the Liver and Kidneys." He was himself an entirely disinterested party, and the inquiry which he pursued was conducted in such a secret manner that no one commercially connected with the article in question had any means of knowing that its merits were being made the subject of investigation by a hygienic authority. Those who had used the remedy for the maladies in which it claims to bring relief were interrogated in regard to the effect it had exercised in their own cases. The answers which were received were characteiized by an astonishing unanimity. Every person who was visited and questioned with respect to "Life for the Liver and Kidneys" replied that he had found in it a most efficacious cure. This fact was ascertained to be true not only in cases of ordinary severity, but even in those instances which had successfully withstood the skill of physicians 1' ? ? nf as wen as lue uuisutc pucts vi other proprietary remedies. Having prosecuted our examination of the medicine in question in a manner that could not fail to detect any harmful attributes that might belong to it?for our examination extended to all classes and to almost all ages?we feel that a simple regard for the precepts of equity, as well as the health demands of our readers, calls for au editorial recognition of the genuine therapeutic virtues of ''Life for the Liver ar,d Kidneys.'"?American Journal of Health, February 10th, 1900.
