John Alexander Dowie, testifying in the hearing of the Zion City con troversy in Judge Landis' oourt at Chioago, on the afternoon of June 15, told of an instance when his body and soul becamo separate aud iu his spiritual being he distinctly saw his own dead body lying beneath a shroud. It occurred, he said, while he was fighting the liquor tr allie in Melbourne, and was regarded by him as a divine warning that he was about to die. At another time the witness asserted his spirit left his body and the angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary were present in the realm visited by his spirit. This narration of life and death was brought out by Attorney Newman during his cross-examination of Dowie. Following the vision, the witness oontined, two aoquaintainoes oame to him and told bim they had dreamed that he was to be assassi nated. Then, while alone in the tabernaole oame a voice warning him to "Arise and go." "I went," said Dowie, "and while on my way home I heard an explosion. The next day I found that my enemies had tried to kill me with dynamate. The baok of the tabernaole had been wrecked." Dowie denied in the course of the examination that he had ever repre sented himself as Elijah the Restorer, subsequently qualifying the state ment by saying that he told his peo ple that he "came in the spirit and power of Elijah." On September 18, 1904, he said, he proclaimed himself as the "First Apostle," but when pressed for an explanation as to how he reoeived the commission, he re plied : "I oan't tell you." Dowie declared that he had re ceived a direct command from God on an occasion when he held a meet ing of 4,000 persons who had been cured of disease. A voice repeated three times the words "Go forward." An Unexpected Question. Apropos of the discussions now on as to whether hell is a place of fire and brimstone, a state of mind or merely an idea, the following anec dote, for which strict originality is not claimed, was told by a layman : "A negro parson in Macon was ad dressing his congregation on the birth of man. In an eloquent and exegeti cal voice ho said : ? . " 'And de T.awd, He mr.de Adam out uv wot mud and sot him up agin a fiahplace to dry-' "A brother among the congrega tion arose and interrupted : " 'You jist Bed dis wuz de fust thing de Lawd made. Now, who made dat fiahplace ?' "The parson hesitated a minute and then cleared his voice : " 'Sit down, you fool nigger,' he said, 'sioh quostions as dem will up set any oistern of theology.'

POWER OF HER INFLUENCE. TC. A. Ridley, in The Golden Age.] In a mountainous country in Asia, lying on the western slope of a broad ridge, and almost surrounded by precipices of Limestone rook, is the anoient oity of Jerusalem. Through, out inspired writings this oity and its magnificent temple were typos of the Christian ohuroh. Long ago that oity fell, and yet it is the most inter esting phenomena in the world's his tory. When Rome, with its capitol, oolliseum and forum; Athens, with its Acropolis, bards and philosophers, are lost in oblivion ; Jerusalem, with its mounts, heroes and temple, will live ripe in the memory of mankind. Built, as it wan, among the tombs of the prophets, surrounded by hills where the world's battles were fought and the world's history made, having streets where angels walked, it is endeared to every heart. Jews from every quarter of the globe wander over its ruins until this day, and sit and muse and weep in the shadow of Mount Moriah. Chris tians from every land dig up the tombs of the prophets, weep on the brow of Calvary and praise God at the sepulchre, of the World's Re deemer. Indeed, Jerusalem is ar honored oity ! And while the same angel that once guarded it fron harm and danger has now turned and smitten it to the dust, the ohurot of which it and its temple wen types, lives on, and rising above al castes and creeds, has proclaimed life to a dead world. In the first place, I want to oon trust some of tbe religions of th? world with the religion of Jesu Christ. Let us note their rise oareer and fall. All the great veli gions of the past were upheld upoi the point of the sword. When Indi was supreme Brahma sat upon th throne of the world. When Indi lost the scepter an (Mt passed to th banks of the Nile, Isis and Osiris rt ceived the homage of mankinc Then Greece, with her valor, swer. the world, and Zeus put on the pui pie of authority. With tho wane < Greece's power came Rome's ii trepid sons, and the world tremble and shook beneath the heavy tram of their armed footsteps. Jove, wit mailed hand, grasped the thunde: bolts of heaven and hurled them i the face of a world. But howev< important these may have once a] peared, they,- like stars of the mon ing, have been swallowed up by more glorious sun. If you woul find most of man's religions and mo of his gods, you must go through tl dark and dismal cemetery of tl past. India's temple, Brahma tl golden, the scowl of Typhon and tl dead Osirus have all faded away ai left their thrones desolate. Tho sun rises as of old and I smiles kiss the cold lips of Memno but Memnon opens not her mout The Egyptian mummies are st waiting for the resurrect iou proi ised by the priest, while the trat lions of this curious people a wrapped in a language now lost a dead. The sacred fires of the Azt? and Persians have died away 1 neath tho ashes of the past and t lu ia uo one to rekindle the holy flan The hoop of Orpheus still hang- up tbe willow and the drained cup Bacchus is dusty and dry. Hush forever are the thunders of Jupit lost are the songs of the sirens a over the anoient religions of earth thrown the mantle of oblivion. One by one the myths have fad from the heavens, one by one 1 phantom host has disappeared, a one by one facts, truths and roalit have taken their plaoes. In t march of human history every r gion whose traditions wert entwu With exploits of martial valor m give way to that religion of pea of progress, of eduoation, of unsell love. Under the influence of t religion man is tearing away fr traditions, ceasing to bow to mandates of superstition and ige ance and is beginning to stand ei in the groat empire of thought. / I hail the ohange with gladness, seo no reason why the dead ha of fallen sires should reach through the moss of oenturies : hold baok their feeble progeny, would be better for philosophers, stead of looking back through gt logioal vistas to seo what apes have been, to look down the mt of ages and see what gods we shall be. Slowly, bat surely, the church has broken down the barriers between man and man, aud to-day pleads as never before for the Fatherhood of Qod, the brotherhood of man and the sisterhood of nations. It is the doctrine of that Man who sat upon the mount and preaohed that im mortal sermon. His point of vision was so lofty that the boundary linea of nations were lost, and seemed but narrow streets in tho same oity. It is the church's business to diffuse this religion Among thc peoples o? the earth. Will she do it ? We an swer yes. For behind her efforts is the power of him who freed the shackled demoniac and turned the fishes into the nets of the discour aged fishermen, the power of him who owns all the olive groves and harvest fields that ever shook their glittering gold over the hills ol Palestine; the power of him who owns all the suns, and moons, and stars and galaxies that ever sparkled in firmamental space, and failure ie impossible. THK rOWEB OF HER INFLUENCE. In all times, in all climes and among all nations wherever the church has raised a steeple or built an altar, civilization has been ad vanced, woman restored to her true position, wrongs righted, suffering alleviated and man brought into oloser touch with God.

Voltaire sowed the dragon's teett from which sprang the fiends of t French Revolution. Franoe abolished the Sabbath, declared the Bible wat a fable, enthroned a courtesan as thc "Goddess of Benson," and proclaimed the banishment of God from the universe. Then it was that three handred butchers raised their battle axes and Paris fell-the bloodiest page in the book of time. But when the crimson crown] was struck from the head of anarchy the white hands of the Christian religion were on the field to wreathe with peace France's bleeding brow. Human systems fail, but not so with the church. Its cen tral thought is Jesus Christ, destined to rule and reign forever. He was oradied once in a manger, but now His army dead, numbers more people than were ever upon earth at 'one time, and His army living, is the one invincible power of earth. When Judah refused to accept His religion, Judah beoame a by-word among the nations of the earth and a wanderer forever. When Rome laid her mailed hand upon it her legions went down in blood, and it rose in strengh and beauty. . . . It was driven away to the hills and hollows. It cowered in caves. It smiled beneath the ax and spear. It slew the viper envy and brought the barbarian to his knees. It stayed the red hands of revenge. When it whispered peace grim war laid aside his plume. It brightened the face of grief, sancti fied despair and touobed with glory the very gloom of the grave. It kissed away the tears from the fair face of Italy and wreathed with love the swarthy brow of Spain. It lifted Germany from gloom to gleam and tamed the Russian bear. It gave new life to England's withered rose and glorified old Scotland's honored this tle. It waked dear Erin's heart to holier time, but hung all the glory on the Cross of Christ.

RELIEF PROMISED BALD-HEADED MEN AND HELPLESS IN GENERAL. The fly is doomed ; the fiat has gone forth, aud its 'days are num bered. Doctors have recognized the faot that the house fly is not only a nuisance, but SIBO a real danger, be cause it is the bearer of microbes and nastiness of all kinds. Fired with the spirit of enterprise, and wishing to do good to humanity at large, the Matin, of Paris, recently offered a prize to the discoverer of the. most praotioal and efficacious means of destroying those inseet pests, and thus eliminating one great source of the spread of epidemics. A pamphlet entitled (<Delenda| Musca" has oarried off the prize. According to tho writer of this essay, very fow people are aware that, the domestic fly lays its eggs in cesspools, drains, liquid manure and dung heaps of all kinds. In these delectable media the Musca domes tioa deposits oblong eggs, which are opened by the detachment of a nar row longitudinal band or strip muoh in the same way as the blade of a knife is opened. The larvro grow with surprising rapidity, at taining their full size, in summer, in eight days' time. One fly may give birth to millions of others, as it breeds continuously for several con secutive months (usually from May to October). Assuming that one specimen lays 200 eggs (containing! an equal number of males and females) then, as will be seen from an easy calculation, in six months* time one hundred thousand million flies will be brought into the world to tease bald-headed men and the helpless in general. After showing that it is useless to attack the full grown insect, the author seeks some means of destroying it while it is in the period covered by the laying of the egg to the formation of the pupa -just when the insect is most vul nerable, and is found collected to gei'uer in more or less considerable quantities. The greatest points of attention to this end are cesspools, muck heaps, drains, manure heaps, and the like. Arsenic and arsenical compounds should not be used for the destruction of flies' eggs and larva; in open cesspools in country' districts, whore-too often, unfortu nately-they aro in underground or other communication with wells, watercourses, and springs, which might thus get poisoned. Recourse should be taken to some substance which not only dissolves in tho liquid contained in the drain, but which will penetrate right into the heart of solid matter. This substance must be of a nature to withstand fermen tation and all transformations expe rienced by tho solids oontained in the cesspool, as they are always, in such media, of ammoniacal and re? ductive nature. These reaotions show that it is useless to employ sul phate of iron, sulphate of oopper, etc., for although in the beginning these met jillie salts might have some effect, they would subsequently bo oome changed by fermentative influ ences and lose their efficacy. The first trials made showed that ordi nary soda, mixed with ordinary chlo ride of Kino (in the proportion of five kilogrammes of eaob to overy cubio PERIODS ng to the woman who suf s.

This prooesB could, if necessary, be used for stationary, hermetically closed cesspools, but it would not do for movable closets, sewage tanks or open crains. Petroleum was then, tried by the author of the pamphlet in question, in the proportion of one liter to every superficial meter, but in a short space of time-due proba bly to the slight rise in temperature,, caused by fermentative processes j the petroleum disappeared. Thia was verified by putting a stick into the cesspool. If petroleum had still ?been present, it would have left traces thereon. Coal tar was then tried with much better results, al though they were still not all that could be desired. The most satis factory results were secured with raw petroleum or raw schist oil (residue of distillation). Two liters per superficial meter were mixed with water, the whole being well stirred up with a piece of wood. This, on being poured into a drain or closet, will form a stratum, of oil, which will destroy all the larva), while, even should Hies not be pre vented from entering the drain, at least all the eggs they may. deposit will be prevented from hatching. This oil is sufficiently consistent and tenacious to adhere to tho walls of drains, to form a coating over solids, and remain attaohed thoued o for a long time. This protective layer of oil also facilitates tho development of anaerobio bacteria which causo the rapid liquefaction of solids, thus ren dering them quite unsuitable as a breeding ground for Diptera. In the case of manure heaps this oil may be mixed with earth, lime, and fossil phosphates, in which state it is sprin kled (preferably in the spring) over all sources likely to tempt young couples of tho Diptera family to start housekeeping and the rearing of a family.-Scientific American. try **\ (Qi 1" C3 S-S T J? | m Bean tho ?* The Kind You Haw Always BougW Ohio's Democratic Governor Dead. John M. Pattison, Governor of Ohio, who died at his home in Cin cinnati, on June 18, was born in Cler mont county, Ohio, on June 13, 1847, retaining his home there dur: ing his entire life. For the last fif teen years he had been president of the Union Central Life Insurance Company. As a Demooratio loader in the State Senate he supported leg islation for a more stringent observ ance of the Sabbath. His position on this subject was well known when he got the Demooratio nomina tion for Governor one year ago, and it was because of this that the Anti Saloon League gave him its sup port. He was a lifo-long member of the Methodist Episoopal church, and was a trust.ee as well as an alumnus of tho Ohio Wesleyan University.
