‘ALL NATIONS WITNESSES.”
The Wonderful Mistakes of Selentists
and Edneators.
“Prove all things” seems to be the
£uiding maxim of the people of this
age,
This would be all right, were it not
for the “know-alls’” in every commu-
nity, who are sure that every imtro-
ducer of a pew idea isa ‘‘crank,’”’ and
Lhat every new invention 1s ‘‘utterly
impracticable,”
Tue astorishing fact 1s that in this
class educated men and sclentists are
lound. In the days of George Stephien-
son, the perfector of the locomotive
engine, the scientists proved conclu-
sively that a railway train could never
be driven by steam-power successfully
without peril; but the rushing express
trains all over the world show Low
mistaken they were. There went up a
guffaw of laughter at Professor Morse s
proposition to make the lightning ef
heaven his errand boy, and it was
proved conclusively that the thing
could never be done; but now all the
news of the wide world by Associated
Press, put in your hands every morning
and night, bas made all nations wit.
nesses,
Rev. Lr. Talmage in one of his ser-
mons says: **If ten men should come to
you when you are sick with appalling
sickness, and say they had the same
sickness and took a certain medicine and
it cured them, you would probably take
it. Now, suppose ten other men should
come up and say, **We don’t believe
that there is anything In that medi-
cine.” ‘“*Well, ’ 1 say, *‘have you tried
it?” “No, I never tried it; but I don’t
believe there is anything im it.” Of
course you discredit their testimony.
The sceplic may come and say *“There
is no power in your religion.” “Have
you ever tried it?" **No, no.” “Then
avaunt!” “Let me take the testimony
of the millions of souls that have been
converted to God, an! comforted in
trial, and solaced in the last hour, We
will take their testimony as they cry
“We are witnesses!”
The proprietors of Warner's safe
cure have received over 10,000 volun-
tary testimonials to the efficacy of that
medicine. These have come from al-
most every civilized country, and they
may fairly claim *“it has made all na-
tions witnesses,’
The evidence comes from all classes,
The highest medical authorities, like
Dr. Robson late surgeon in the English
navy and Dr. Wilson, editor of
“Health,” of London, Eng.; and
clergymen of the highest reputation
like Rev. Dr. Rankin, ex-chaplain of
the U. 8. Senate, and Dr. Kendrick of
the Rochester University, one of the in-
ternational revisers of the new testa-
ment, are among the published wit-
nesses,
been and are being published. They
can be easly verified. A standing offer
of $5,000 for proof that any one of
them is not frue, so far as the proprie-
tors know, is a fair guarantee of their
genuineness,
If aman is suffering from any cne
of the ailments, of which there are so
many, growing out of kidney derange-
ment, 15 it nol more than foolish for
i
i

when thousands testify they have been
cured by It?
Think of it!
The men who refuse to believe that
anything can be valuable because it is
in conflict with old Ideas and methods
are the men who *‘get left” in this
world and go before their time to try
another
FARM NOTES,
IT 1s important now te ses that good
drainages is provided, especially with
newly sel trees or plants, It will not
answer to allow the water to stand
around the roots to freeze and thaw,
If a good tile drain should be laid be-
tween each row of fruit trees, this, of
course, would be the best. But where
this cannot be done good surface drain-
age can be made to answer, provided
care be taken to do the work properly.
See that whatever material may be
used wili be spread evenly between the
rows,
IX window gardening it should be
remembered that we have all degrees
of temperature at command, from
Treezing to torrid, Shelves or brackets
at different heighta should be provided
to meet the requirements of heat
needed by different plants, Coleus on
the window-sill will drop its leaves and
80 to pieces; on the top shelf it will
make luxuriant growth. Other in-
stances might be given, but care, watch
fulness and a little experimenting will
soon show the window gardener where
each specimen will do best,

“KNOWLEDGE is power,” said the
lecturer, and then he went on to expa-
tiate upon the truth of his proposition.
He had been speaking half an hour,
when he was suddenly pulled up by a
dirty-faced man in the corner, with the
remark, ‘I say, mister, p'raps knowl-
edge is power, but 1’'m somehow re-
minded of what I read in my boy's
school-book last night, that whal’s
gained in power 18 lost in time.”! The
lecturer came to a sudden conclusion.
“You'rtr have $o let me have some
money next week," she sald to her hus-
band after dinner.” *“‘What for?”
“Oh, I've got to get a lot of things.”
“Why, you don’t need anything. It's
only two days since—-'"" *‘Yes, but
the dry goods stores are failing, and
they'll be selling everything at a sacri-
fice, and things will be dirt cheap.”
**But you don’t need them.’ **That
doesn’t make any difference,”

How many of these calendats do you

“The exact number of Household Calen-

you will find that that odd hundred thou.

Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co. have taken an.
other new departure in 1888, and have
issued Hood's Office Calendar, magnificent

any one, The boy ia young yet and
may reform.” “No, he never will”
“But you mustn't be 20 severe on him,
If you would try you might possibly help |
him to be something better.” “I shall |
never try. If he should coms into my |
church I would consider it my duty to |
order him out,”’ “Don't talk that way! |
What bas he done to cause you to have |
such unchristian feelings against him?’ |
“What has he done? Well, he’s done |
enough. He's got a trick of making a |
volse like two dogs fighting, and for |
the last two Babbaths he’s got under |
