We learn that C. Godfrey Gumpel, aa Eagli?-h scientist, bas spent 27 years io ftudyiog tbe effects of cale opoc tbe body, aod is ?boot to publish a book which he thinks will be revolutionary. He attributes diptberia, apoplexy and varions other diseases to a deficiency of common salt in the system We ara inclined to think that Profes? sor Grnmpel is on the right line and, if bis book oan be obtained on rbis side of tbe water, it should be widely read. V? e caooot expertly speak as the pre veotion of the diseases mentioned, but be may b* right. We do know that, so far an our individual experience is cooeeroed, salt is at once the cheapest aod most benignant preservation of health No headache or neuralgia or congestion oan get lodgement of any duration wheo salt and water are pro curable before breakfast. Other people may be differently constituted AD oid friend of ours. 80 years of age, a mar? ve! of brightness io braio and vigor of body, for his years, ascribed his gocd condition to tbe judicious use of salt. The Hindoos say that their freedom from throat disease comes from saline gargles daily A Hindoo mother teach? es her infant this habit and sees that it is praoticed We are anxious to see Profes>o Grumpefs book aod compare oor experience with bis. Salt is one ot the greatest - blessings wheo used with freedom and discretion, and this was pointed ont vears ago by the late emi nent Dr. L A. Dogas -Augusta Gbroniole A Clever Trick. It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it. Anybody can try it who has Lame Buck and Weak Kidneys, Malaria or nervous troubles.

We clip the following from "Bro. Erwin's Letter" which describes the First General Council of the Fire Baptized Holiness Association which met in Anderson, S 0- The clip? ping is from the Way of Faith, pub? lished in Columbia, S. C., and is as follows : .'The congregations were large and the order perfect I have never seeu it better We had "music and dancing/' shouts and screams of vic tory, hot thunderbolts and slant lightning, billows of white fire, and devil shaking dynamite We used Bro. Stevens' "Blood and Fire ?oags/' the nrst editiou of which has just been issued. It ia the song book of the Fire Baptized Holiness Move? ment " It needs enlarging and im proving, and there ought to be a music edition. But this we he pe to have by another year." We confess to wonder and amaze ment at the language used and also at the character of the perfect order referred to. The convention most have been breathless We have been trying to imagine the character of this wonderful order We have com bined in our imagination the elements of a national political convention at the moment of nomination, the dyna mite cruiser Vesuvius in action, Pickett's charge at Gettysburg, a midnight ball room and a storm at sea, but we fear that the entire cora bination does not give us an ade quate conception of this convention as graphically described in the above dipping If Bro Stevens' "Fire and Blood Songs" have such an ap palling effect without rau9ic, what will they do next year when the music is added ?
