f Text: '‘Anil the frogs came up and cov
ered the land of Egypt. And the magiciant
did so with their enchantments, and
brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt/
—Ex. viii., B, 7.
! There is almost a universal aversion to
frogs, ami yet with the Egyptian they were
honored, they wero sacred, and they were
objects of worship while alive, and after
death they were embalmed, and to-day their
remains may be found among the sepulchres
of Thebes. These creatures, so attractive
once to the Egyptians, at divine behest be
came obnoxious and loathsome, and they
went croaking and hopping and leaping into
the palace of the king, and into the bread
trays and the rouehes of the people, and oven
the ovens, which now are uplifted above the
earth and on the side of chimneys, but then
were small holes in tho earth, with sunken
pottery, wore filled with frogs when the
housekeepers came to look at them. If a man
sat down to eat a frog alighted on his plate.
If ho attempted to put on n shoe it was pre
occupied by a frog. If he attempted to put
his head upon a pillow it had been taken pos
session of by a frog.
Frogs high and low and everywhere; loath
some frogs, slimy frogs, besieging frogs, in-
inimrrablo frogs, great plague of frogs.
What made the matter worse tho magicians
said there was no miracle in this, and they
could by sleight of band produce the same
thing, and t'acy seemed to succeed, for by
sleight of hand wonders may bo wrought.
After Moses had thrown down his staff and
by miracle it became a serpent, and then he
took hold of it and by miracle it again be
came a staff, tho serpent charmers imitated
the same thing, and knowing that there wero
serpents in Egypt which by a peculiar pres
sure on tho neck would become as rigid as a
stick of wood, they seemed to change the ser
pent into tho staff, and then, throwing it
down, tho staff became the serpent.
So likewise these magicians tried to imi
tate the plague of frogs, and perhaps by
smell of food attracting a great number of
them to a certain point, or by shaking them
out from a hidden place, the magicians some
times seemed to accomplish the same mira
cle. While these magicians made the plague
worse, none of them tried to make it better.
“Frogs came up and covered the land of
Egypt, and the magicians did so with their
enchantment, and brought up frogs upon the
land of Egypt.”
Now that plague of frogs has come back
upon the earth. It is abroad to-day. It is
emitting this nation. It comes in the shape
of corrupt literature. These frogs hop into
tho store, the shop, the office, the banking
house, the factory—into tho home, into the
cellar, into the garret, on the drawing room
table, on the shelf of the library. While the
lad is reading tho bad bool: the teacher’s face
is turned tho other way. One of these frogs
hops upon the page. While the young woman
is reading the forbidden novelette after re
tiring at) night, reading by gaslight, one of
these frogs leaps upon the page. Indeed
they have liopped upon the new* stands of
tile country and the mails at the postoflice
shako out in tho letter trough hundreds of
them. Tho plague has taken at different
limes possession of this country. It is one of
the most loathsome, one of the mast fright
ful,one of the most ghastly of tho ten plagues
of our modern cities.
i There is a vast number of books and news,
papers printed and published which ought
never to see the light. They are filled with a
pestilence that makes tho land swelter with a
moral epidemic. The greatest blessing that
evef come to this nation is that of an ele
vated literature, and the greatest scourge
has been that of unclean literature. This
last has its victims in all occupations and
departments. It has helped to till Insane
asylums and penitentiaries and almshouses
and dens of shame. The bodies of this infec.
lion lie in the hospitals and in the graves,
while their souls are being tossed over into
a lost eternity, an avalanche of horror and
despair.
The London plague was nothing to it.
That counted its victims by thousands, but
this modern pest 1ms already shoveled its
millions into the charnel house of the morally
dead. The longest rail train that ever ran
over the Erie or Hudson tracks was not long
enough nor large enough to carry tho beast
liness and the putrefaction which have been
gathered up in bad books and newspapers of
this land in % tho last twenty years. The
literature of a nation decides tho fate of a
nation. Good books, good morals. Bad
books, bad morals.
i I begin with the lowest of all tho litera
ture, that which does not even pretend to
be respectable—from cover to cover a blotch
of leprosy. There are many whose entire
business it is to dispose of that kind of lit.
erature. They display it before tho school,
boy on his way home. They got tho cata
logues of schools and colleges, taUb the
names and postoffice addresses, and send
their advertisements, and their circulars,
and their pamphlets, and their books to every
one of them.
In the possession of these dealers in bad
literature were found nine hundred thou
sand names and postoffice addresses, to
whom it was thought it might be profitable
to send these corrupt things. In the year
1873 there were one hundred and sixty-live
establishments engaged in publishing cheap,
corrupt literature. From one publishing
house there went out twenty different styles
of corrupt books. Although over thirty
ton.- of vile literature have been destroyed
|by the Society for the Suppression of Vice,
still there is enough of it left in this country
to bring down upon us the just auger of an
aroused God.
In tho year 1868 the evil had become so
great in this country that tho Congress of
the United States passed a law forbidding
the transmission of bad literature through
the United States mails, but there were
large loops in that law through which
criminals might crawl out, and the law was
a dead failure—that law of 1-86S. But in
1873 another law was passed by the Congress
of the United States against the transmission
of corrupt literature through tho mail: —a
grand law, a potent law, a Christian law—
and under that law multitudes of these
scoundrels have been arrested, their propert r
confiscated and they themselves thrown into
the penitentiaries, where they belonged.
Now, my friends, how are wa to war
against this corrupt literature, and how aro
the frogs of this Egyptian plague to bo
slain? First of all by the prompt and inex
orable execution of the law. Let all good
postmasters, and United States district at
torneys, and detectives, ami reformers con
cert in their action to stop this plague.
When Sir Rowland Hill spent his life in try
ing to secure cheap postage not only for
England, but for all the world, and to open
the blessing of the postoffice to all honest
business, and to all messages of charity,
and kindness, and affection, for all health
ful intercommunication, he did not mean to
make vice easy or to till the mail bags of the
United States with the scobs of such a
leprosy.
It ought not to bo in the power of over/
bad man who can raise a one-cont stamp for
a circular or a two-ccut stamp for a letter to
blast a man or destroy a home. Tho postal
service of this country must be clean, must
bo kept dean, and we must all understand
that the swift retributions of the United
States Government hover over every viola
tion of the letter box.
There are thousands of men and women in
this country, some for personal gain, some
through innate depravity, some through a
spirit of revenge, who wish to use tins great
avenue of convenience and intelligence for
purposes revengeful, salacious and diabolic.
Wake up the law. Wake up the penalties.
Let every court room on this subject be a
Sinai thunderous and afiame. L-1 the con
victed offenders be sent for the full term to
Sing Sing or Harrisburg.
lam not talking about what cannot be
done. I am talking now about what is being
done. A great many of the printing presses
that gave themselves entirely to the publica
tion of vile literature have been stopped or
have gono into business less obnoxious.
What has thrown off, what has kept off the
rail trains of this country for some time
back nearly all the leprous periodicals!
Those of iis who have been on the rail trains
have noticed a great change in tho last few
mouths and the last year or two. Why have
nearly all those vile periodicals been kept off
the rail trains for some time back? Who ef
fected it? These societies for the purification
How have to many of the news stands of
our great cities been purified? How basso
much of this Iniquity been balked? By
moral suasion? Oh, no. You might as well
go Into the jungle of the East Indies and pat
a cobra on the neck, and with profound ar
gument try to persuade it that it is morally
wrong to bite and to sting and to poison
anything. The only enswer to your argu

publishers and warning to railroad compan
ies, and warning to conductors, and warn
ing to newsboys, to keep the infernal stuff

Many of the cities have successfully pro
hibited the most of that literature even from
going on tha news stands. Terror has seised
upon the publishers and the dealers in impure
literature, from the fact that over a thou
sand arrests have been made, and the aggre
gate time for which the convicted have been
sentenced to the prison is over one hundred
and ninety years, and from the fact that
about two millions of their circulars have
been destroyed, and the business is not as
profitable as it used to be.

dealers in impure literature is the clutch of
the police and the bean soup in a peniten

Another way in which we are to drive
that all the books and newspapers in our
families ought to be religious books and
newspapers, or that every song ought to ba
sung to the tune of “Old Hundred.” I have
no sympathy with the attempt to make the
young old. I would rather join in a crusade
to keep the young young. Boyhood and girl
hood must not be abbreviated. But there
are good books, good histories, good biogra
phies, good works of fiction, good books of
oil styles with which we ore to fill the minds
of the young, so that there will be no more
room for the useless and the vicious than
there is room for chaff in a bushel measure
which is already filled with Michigan
wheat.
Why are fifty per cent, of the criminals in
the jails and penitentiaries of the United
States to-day under twenty-one years of
age? Many of them under seventeen, under
sixteen, uud' r fifteen, under fourteen, under
thirteen. Walk along one o' the corridors
of the Tombs prison in New York and look
for yourselves. Bad books, bad newspapers
Ijewitohed them ns soon as they got out of
the cradle. Beware of all those stories
which end wrong. Beware of all those
books which make the road that ends in
jierdition seem to end in Faradise. Do not
glorify the dirk and the pistol. Do not call
tho desperado brave or the libertine gallant.
Teach our young people that if they go down
into the swamps and marshes to watch the
jack-o’-lontoms dance on the decay and
rottenness they will catch the malaria and
death.
“Oh,” says some one, “1 am a business
man, and I have no time to examine what
my children rend. T have no time to inspect
the books that come into my household.” If
your children were threatened with typhoid
fever, would you have time to go for the doc
tor? Would you have time to watch the
progress of tie disease? Would you have
time for the funeral? In the presence of my
Gcd I warn you of the fact that yonr chil
dren are threatened with moral and spirit
ual typhoid, and that unless the thing I):
stopped it will he to them funeral of Ixvly,
funeral of mind, funeral of soul. Three
funerals in one day.
My word is to this vast multitude of young
people: Do not touch, do not borrow, do
not buy a corrupt l>ook or n corrupt picture.
A book will decide a man's destiny for good
or for evil. The book you read yesterday
may have decided you for time and for eter
nity, or it may bo a I look that may come
into your possessions to-morrow.
A good book—who can exaggerate its
power? Benjamin Franklin said that his
reading of Cotton Mather’s “Essays to Do
Good” m chiMhood gave him holy aspira
tions for all the rest of his life. George Law
declared that a biography he read in child
hood gave him all his subsequent prosperi
ties. A clergyman, many years ago, passiup
to tho far west, stopped at a hotel. He saw
a woman copying something from Dodd
ridge’s “Rise and Frogress.” It seemed that-
she had borrowed the book, and there were
some tilings she wanted especially to re
member.
The clergyman had in his sachel a copy of
Doddridge's “Rise and Progress,” and so he
made her a present of it. Thirty years
passed on. 'i'he clergyman came that way,
and he asked wuere the woman was whom
ho had seen so long ago. “She lives yonder
in that beautiful house.” He went there and
said to her, “Do you remember me?” She
said, “No, I do not.” He said, “Do you re
member a man gave you Doddridge’s ‘Rise
and Progress’ thirty years ago?” “Oh, yes:
I remember. That book saved my sou). 1
loaned the book to all my neighbors, ami
they read it and they were converted to God,
and we had a revival of religion which swept
through tho whole community. We built a
church and called a pastor. You see that
spire yonder, don’t you? That charch
was built as tho result of that book you gave
me thirty years ago.” Oh, the power of a
good book! But, alas! for the influence of a
bad book.
John Angel James than whom England
never had a holier minister, stood in his pul
pit at Birmiugiiam and said: "Twenty-five
E ears ago a lad loaned to me an infamous

utes, and then I had to give it back, bytthat
book lias haunted me like a specter ever
since. I have in agony of soul, on my knees
before God, prayed that he would obliterate
from my soul the memory of it, but I shall
carry the damage of it until the day of my
death.” The assassin of Sir William Rus
sell declared that he got the inspiration tot
his crime by reading what was tnen a new
and popular novel, "Jack Sheppard.”
Homer’s “Iliad" made Alexander the war
rior. Alexander said so. The story of
Alexander male Julius Csesar and Charles
XII. both men of blood. Have you in yout
S ocket, or in your trunk, or in your desk ar
usiuess a bad book, a bad picture, a bad
pamphlet? In God’s name I warn you to de
stroy it.
Another way in whicli we shall fight back
this corrupt literature and kill the frogs of
Egypt is by rolling over them the Christian
printing press, which shall give plenty of
healthful reading to all adults. All those
men and women are reading men and wo
men. What are you reading? Abstain from
all those books' which, while they had some
good things about them, bad also an admix
ture of evil. You have read books that had
two elements in them—the good and the bad.
Which stack to you? The bad! The heart
r of most people is like a sieve, which lets the
small particles of gold fall through, but
keeps the great cinders. Once in a while
there is a mind like a loadstone, which,
plunged amid steel and brass filings, gathers
up the steel and repels the brass. But it is
generally the opposite. If you attempt to
plunge through a fence of burrs to get one
blackberry, you will get more burrs than
blackberries.
You cannot afford to read a bad book,
however good you ore. You say, “The in
fluence is insignificant.” I tell you that the
scratch of n pin has sometimes produced lock
jaw-. Alas, if through curiosity, as many do,
you p;y into an evil book, your curiosity is
as dangerous as that of the man who would
take a torch into a gunpowder mill merely
to soo whether it would really blow up or
not. In a menagerie a man put his arm
through the bars of a black leopard’s cage.
Theanimal’s hide looked so sleek and bright
and beautiful. Ho just stroked it once. The
monster seized him, and he drew forth a hand
torn and mangled and bleeding.
Oh, touch not tho evil even with the faint
est stroke! Though it may bo glossy and
beautiful, touch it not lest you pull forth
your soul torn and bleeding under the clutch
of tho black leopard. “But,” you say, “how
can I find out whether a book is good or bad
without reading it?” There is always some
thing suspicious about e bad book. I never
knew an exception—something suspicious in
tho index or style of illustration. This ven
omous reptile almost always carries a warn
ing rattle.
The clock strikes midnight. A fair form
bends over a romance. The eyes flash
fire. Tho breath is quick and irregular.
Occasionally the color dashes to tho cheek,
and then dies out. The hands tremble as
though a guardian spirit were trying to
shako the deadly book out of tho grasp. Hot
tears fall. I-he laughs with a shrill voice
that drops dead at Hs own sound. The
sweat on her brow is the spray dashed up
from the river of death. The clock strikes
four, an 1 the rosy dawn soon after begins to
look through tho lattice upon the pale form
that looks like a detained specter of the
night. Soon in a madhousesho will mistake
her ringlets for curling serpeants, and thrust
her white hand through the bars of tho
prison, and smite her head, rubbing it back
as though to push the scalp from the skull
shrieking: “My brain! my brain!’’ Oh]
stand off from that! Why will you g«
sounding your way amid the reefs and warn
ing buoys, when there Is such a vast ocean
in which you may voyage, all sail set?
We see so many books we do not under
stand wbat a book is. Stand it on end.
Measure it—the height 6f it, the depth of it]
tlie length of it, the breadth of it You can
not dolt. Examine the paper and estimate
the progress made from the time of the im
pressions on clay, and then on the bark of
trees, and from the bark of trees to papyrus,
and from papyrus to the hide of wild beasts,
and from the hide of wild beasts on down
until the miracles of our modern paper man
ufactories, and then see the paper, white and
pure as an infant's soul, waitingfor God’s in
scription.
A book! Examine the type of it Examine
the printing of it. and see the progress from
the time when Solon’s laws were written on
oak planks, and Heeiod’s poems were written
on tables of lead,and the Sioiatic commands
were written on tables of stone, on down to
Hoe’s perfecting printing press
I A book! It took all the universities of the
past, all the martyr fires, all the civilisations,
all the battles, all the victories, all the de
feats, all the glooms, all the brightness, all
the centuries to make It possible.
A book! It is tye choausof all ages; it is
the drawing room In wbidh kings and queens
and orators and poets and historians come
out to greet you. • If I worshiped anything
on earth I would worship that. If I burned
incense to any idol I would build an altar to
that. Thank God for good books, healthful
books, inspiring books, ChristUn books,
books of men, books of women. Book of God.
It is with these good books that we are to
overcome corrupt literature. Upon the frogs
swoop with these eagles. I depend much for
the overthrow of iniquitous literature upon
the mortality of books. Even good books
have a hard struggle to live.
Folybius wrote forty books; only five of
them left. Thirty books of Tacitus have
perished. Twenty books of Pliny hare per
ished, Livy wrote one hundred and forty
books; only thirty-five of them remain.
JEschylus wrote one hundred dramas; only
seven remain. Euripides wrote over a hun
dred; only nineteen remain. Vatro wrote
the biographies of over seven hundred great
Romans. All that wealth of biography has
perished. If good and valuable books nave
such a struggle to live, whafc must be the
fate of those that are diseased and corrupt
snd blasted at the very start I They will die
as the frogs when the Lord turned back the
plague. The work of Christianization will
go on until there will bo nothing left but
good books, and they will take the supremacy
of the world. May you and I live to see the
Illustrious day!
Against every bad pamphlet send a good
pamphlet; against every uuolean picture send
an innocent picture; against every scur
rilous song send a Christian song; against
every had book send a good book; ana then
it will be as it was in ancient Toledo, where
tho Toletum missals wero kept by the saints
in six churches, and the sacrilegious Romans
demanded that those missals tie destroyed,
and that the Co-nan missals be sulistituted;
mid the war came on, and I am glad to say
that the whole matter having been referred
to champions, the champion of the Toletum
missals with one blow brought down the
champion of the Roman missals.
Bo it will be in our day. The good litera
ture, the Christian literature, in its cham
pionship for Cod, and the truth, will bring
down tho evil literature in its championship
for the devil. I feel tingling to the tips of
my fingers and through all the nerves of my
11sly, and all the depths of my soul, the
certainty of our triumph. Cheer up, oh,
men and women who arc toiling for the
purification of society! Toil with your faces
in the sunlight. “If God be for us, who,
who can be against us?”
liady Hester Stanho)iu was the daughter
of the third Earl of Stanhope, and after her
nearest friends had died she went to the far
east, took possession of a deserted convent,
threw up fortresses amid the mountains of

tho wretched, and the sick who would come
in. She made her castle a home for the un
fortunate. She was a devout Christian
woman. She was waiting for tho coming of
the Lord. She expected that the Lord would
descend in person, and she thought upon it
until it was too much for her reason. In the
magnificent stables of her palace she had two
horses groomed and bridled and saddled and
caparisoned and all ready for the day in
which her Lord should descend, and be on
one of I hem and she on the other should start

It was a fanaticism and a delusion; but there

WESLEY’S CENTEHABL
Ono Hundredth Anniversary of
the Founder of Methodism.
NEWS AND NOWES FOR WOMEN.
A Statue to the Theologian Un
veiled in London, England.
JOBIt WEPI.KY.
TTie centenary of John Wesley’s death was
celebrated with appropriate ceremonies by
Methodist churches generally throughout
Europe and America, and the life and work
Of the apostle of Methodism were eulogized
by the ministers in their sermons.
In London, England, a statue erected in
his honor was unveiled, in the presence of
■ large number of people, in front of the City
Road Chapel, the headquarters of the
Wesleyans. Tho Rev. Frederick William
Farrar, Archdeacon of Westminster, took
e rt in the ceremonies attending the unveil-
C °f the statue, and afterward, with Sir
Robert N. Fowler, one of the members of
Parliament for London City, addressed
• meeting in the City Road Chapel, ex
tolling the virtues of Wesley. Arch
deacon Farrar delivered a long and elo
quent eulogy of John Wesley, in the course
of which he said that he regretted, as a
Churchman, that the Church, 100 years ago,
hod not the wisdom to assimilate with the
mighty enthusiasm which gave momentum
to the Wesleyan movement. It seemed,
■aid the Archdeacon, shocking and dis
graceful in Christians, bound by a com
mon Christianity, to treat each other with
mutual coldness. John Wesley himself, he
added, set an example of splendid tolerance.
The Archdeaoon, in conclusion,reminded tha
congregation of tho words of William Penn,
that the humble, meek, merciful and just are
all of one religion, and will so recognize one
another when in another world, with tha
mask off.
In New York City a number of clergy,
men connected with the Methodist churches

o’clock, the hour that John Wesley expired.
Rev. Dr. John Atkinson, of Jersey City, de

George Lansing Taylor read a poem on tha
death of Wesley. Rev. Dr. Edwin Wilson,
of tho Reformed Episcopal Church, pre
sented an autograph letter written by tha
reformer in 177U.
In Boston, Mass., services in commemora
tion of the one hundredth anniversary of tha
famous theologian and revivalist' were

preachers’ meeting. Rev. W. N. Brodbeck,
D. D., presiding. After devotional exercises
Rev. H. C. Sheldon, D. D., of the Boston
University School of Theology, and Dr.
Daniel Steele addressed the gathering on
Wesley’s life and work.
In Philadelphia, Penn., the 100th anniver
sary was celebrated by an experience meet
ing of the Methodist ministers of the city.
There were a large number of ministers and
laymen present at tho meeting, and the
anniversary of the death of the great founder
of their church was marked by most interest
ing services.
John Wesley’s Career.
John Wesley, the founder of the Metho
dist Church, was born at Epsworth, in Eng
land, June 17, 1703; graduated at Oxford
with distinction; became a deacon in
ITSO, a Fellow of Lincoln’s College in
1728, and was ordained a priest of the Church
of England in 1728. He became deeply im
pressed with the necessity for changes and
reforms in religious limiters, and at Ox
ford associated with his brother and
others who from their devotion were termed
In derision, “Methodists” and the “Godly
Club.” John Wesley adopted habits of great
austerity, and studie I and fasted to such an
extent that he seriously injure! his heait’i.
In 1785 he went with liin brother, Charles
Wesley, to Georgia as a missionary to the
Indians. During the voyage ho became ac
quainted with a number of Moravians
with whom he subsequently co
operated. Returning to Europe, he
visited Count Zinzenuorf at Herrnhut in
1788, but, owing to some difference, sepa
rated from the Moravians in 1740. Prior to
this he bad commenced preaching in ilia
r n air, and at Bristol, England, bad laid
foundation of the Methodist Church.

WISE WORDS.
Nature never pretends.
Time stands very close to eternity.
The sun is always shining somewhere.
Ho who does nothing is very near do
ing ill
Pride can come nearer making a per
son a fool than a wise man.
Next to the virtue, the fun in this
world is what wc least can spare.
Great hearts alone unarjstaud how
much glory there is in being ood.
Men show their chnrac in nothing
more clearly than by wha they think
laughable.
Above all things always speak the
truth; your word must bo your bond
through life.
Next to laziness the hardest thing on
earth to resist is the impulse to takes
sides in a fight.
We swallow at one mouthful the lie
that flatters, aud drink drop by drop the
truth that is bitter.
Whatever else may be wrong, it must
be right to bo pure, just and tender,
merciful and honest.
Let your alms-giving be anonymous.
It has the double advantage of suppress
ing at the same time ingratitude uud
abuse.

once a minute, one once an hour, one
once a week, one once a month and one
once a year. It shows Hie moon’s age,
rising and setting of the sun, the time
of high and low tide, besides showing
half ebb and half flood. A curious de
vice represents the water, showing ships
at high-water tide as it they were in
motion; and, as it recedes, leaves them
high and dry on the sands. The clock
shows the hour of tho day, the day of
the week, the day of the month and the
month of the year. The mechanism is
so arranged as to make its own pro
visions for long and short mouths. It
also shows the signs of the zodiac and
difference betweeu sun and railroad time
for every day in the year.—Boston Tran-
tsript.

Let’s reason together.
Here’s a firm, one of the
largest the country over, the
world over; it has grown, step
by step, through the years to
greatness—and it sells patent
medicines!—ugh !
“ That’s enough ! ’’—
Wait a little—
This firm pays the news
papers good money (expen
sive work, this advertising !)
to tell the people that they
have faith in what they sell,
so much faith that if they can’t
benefit or cure they don’t want
your money. Their guarantee
is not indefinite and relative,
but definite and absolute—if
the medicine doesn’t help,
your money is “ou call."
Suppose every sick man
and every feeble woman tried
these medicines and found
them worthless, who would be
the loser, you or they ?
The medicines are Doctor
Pierce’s "Golden Medical Dis
covery,” for blood diseases,
and his “ Favorite Prescrip

Curative Use of Cbarceal.
The Boston Journal of Commerce dis
courses thus on the uses of charcoal:
Besides being valuable as fuel, it has
other uses which make it one of the
most serviceable ot articles. When laid
flat, while cold, on a burn, it‘causes the
pain to abate; by leaving it on for an
hour, the burn seems almost healed
when the wound is superficial. Tainted
meat surrounded with it is sweetened.
Strewn over heaps of decomposed pelts
or over dead animals, charcoal prevents
unpleasant odors. Foul water is purified
by it. It is a great disinfectant, and
sw-cetens offensive air if placed in shal
low trays arouud apartments. It is so
very porous that it absorbs aud condenses
gases rapidly. One cubic inch of fresh
charcoal will absorb nearly ono hundred
inches of gaseous ammonia. Charcoal
forms au excellent poultice for malignant
wounds aud sores. In cases of what is
called proud liesh it is invaluable. It gives
no disagreeable odor, corrodes no metal,
hurts no texture, injures no color, is a
simple and safe sweetener and disinfec
tant. A leaspooufu! of charcoal in half
a glass of water often relieves sick head
ache. It absorbs the gases ami relieves
the distended stomach, pressing against
tho nerves which extend from the stom
ach to the head.
A Italn of Manna.
Tho sudden appearance upon the
ground of a considerable supply of an
edible substance astonished certain peo
ple of Asiatic Turkey one day last August.
It came during a heavy fall of rain be
tween Merdin and Diarbckir, and covered
a circular area some six or eight miles in
circumference. Some of it was gathered
up aud made into bread, which was of
good tasto and very digestible. Speci
mens of the substance have since been
submitted to botanists, who find that it
is in form of small grains, yellow outside
and white and mealy inside, and that it
is a lichen known to occur in some of the
arid regions of Western Asia. It is sup
posed that the grains were drawn up in
a water spout and transported by the
wind at a considerable height in the at
mosphere. A French traveler has re
ported that a similar fall of this lichen
occurred in many parts of Persia in 1828,
when it covered the ground to the depth
of nearly an inch, aud was eaten by ani
mals and collected by tho inhabitants.
Many other falls aro said to have been
mentioned.—Trenton (N. J.) American.

J. C. Davis, Rector of St. James’

“My son has been badly afflicted

severe, deep-seated coughs like this
are as severe tests as a remedy cau

Many others afflicted as this lad
was, will do well to make a note of
