THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- SATURDAY MORNINGr, JULY 81, 189T.
!
! Kelisiods Neu)s
TTHE Florence Mission has at
last the prospect of a homo In
sight. Two lots have been pur
chased on Harrison avenue, and
It Is hoped that by November
the Mission will bo safely sheltered In
Us new quarters. As yet the building
fund Is not sulllclent for oven the mod
est structure for which plans have
been drawn, but It Is expected that the
people of Scranton, always so generous
In their gifts to worthy objects, will
come to the rescue with gifts for Its
completion. The property when ready
for occupancy will not cost more than
$6,000.
It has been tho source of much con
cern to the managers of this Institu
tion that the capable matron, MIbs
Carver, was obliged to resign because
ofNthe death of her mother, and for
some weeks the Mission has been with
out an authorized head. However, a
matron has at last been secured In the
person of Mrs. Thonan, of New York,
who, It Is hoped, will ably advance
thp good work. This lady has for some
time been connected with a similar In
stitution in Hartford, Conn.
The general conference of Christian
tlan workers began Its sessions In
Northfleld, Mass., this week to con
tinue until Aug. 16. Some of the great
est divines In this country and Europe
will address the meetings.
The encampment of the Young Men's
Christian association Is a unique and
delightful part of the Northfleld pro
gramme for early August. Hundreds
of young men will spend their vaca
tion In camp and the outdoor life
with the privilege of attending the
great meetings If they so desire will
bo among the pleasures of the occa
sion. Apart from the religious routine at
Northfleld the ordinary events of a day
are most Interesting. "Walking, swim
ming, riding, wheeling, tennis, base
ball, basket ball and other sports and
exercises are liberally Indulged In, and
each day has, besides, Its own specln'l
pleasures.
A remarkable feature of the student
conference this year was what was
known as "Tho Procession of the Na
tions." Every evening the students
gathered In the auditorium and list
ened to eloquent pleas from representa
tives of the nations of the earth. A
Chinese In full native, costume pleaded
for China. Japan was represented by
the president of a Japanese college and
s'everal consecrated students. Norway,
Germany, Holland, Switzerland, our
riatlve Indians, the negro race, Mexico,
Venezuela and Chill each was spoken
for by an earnest native. Then came
South Africa, Australia, Great Urltaln
and India. In addition to the coun
tries named above, there were dele
gates from Armenia, Burgaria, Ceylon,
Corea, Persia and Russia sixty, for
eign delegates In all.
Such scenes endear Northfleld to all
who visit It.
Carbondale Is to have a visit from
the well-known Welsh evangelist, Miss
Koslna Davis, who has been heard In
many of tho great pulpits of the old
country. She will begin a series of
meetings In Welsh settlement next
week, occupying the pulpit of the Car
bondale Baptist church tomorrow.
It Is said that If the Ocean Grove
Camp association makes an error at
this time In the selection of a suc
cessor to Dr. Stokes, Its good work Is
done and tho proud place It has at
tained will be lost. It will bo difficult
to find Just tho man for this position.
Arthur G. Lcacock sailed on July 14
for Germany, where ho will devote a
year to the study of philological arch
aeology, Mr. Leacock, who Is the son
of the Rev. J. C. Leacock, of Tunk
hannock. Pa., graduated from Syra
cuse university in 1S92. Afterward en
tering Harvard Postgraduate school,
he spent a year as professor of Greek
In Wesleyan academy at Wllbraham,
Mass. During the past spring he has
been teachlmr Latin and history at
Wesleyan university.
In the Jewish Chautauqua at Atlan
tic City the other afternoon a discus
sion took place In which one of thp
speakers stated that the religion of
the Jew3 was that of charity and
benevolence, while the Jew stands for
Justice and unerring principle. His re
ligion differed from other religions not
founded on unerring principle. At this
point he was Interrupted by the lead
enC who refused to allow the teachers
and scholars tp hear religions of other
nations disparaged.
BTrrgriarntoir h'ad'nn Innovation this
week In tfre shape of an auction sale
of children, which took place In tho
Salvation Army camp at Bennett park.
The mode of procedure -was to arrange
a number of children on the platform
while the ofllcers of the organization
bid 'gold, education, Influence, beauty,
fame, fasJiIon, etc., for the little ones.
Finally a young woman bid "Salva
tion" and the lot was struck off to her.

PROF. COLES FOR AUGUST.
From Storms and Signs.
Earth Is now In the "House of For
tune," and opposed by the "House of
Death." Therefore while fortune Is
smiling on people In somo localities
others will be In riot, starvation and
death; for the good and the evil forces
are equally divided, this month, and
there will be a fierce struggle betw'een
thorn for supremacy. This same strug
gle for supiemacy will predominate In
the nnlmal and vegetable kingdom.
Disease epidemics, riots, wars and all
things evil may astonish the world.
Last month the evil forces overpowered
the good nnd kept prosperity from com
ing In. May God speed the day when
the present political paper panic shall
be crushed out of existence, and a new
declaration of business Independence
be proclaimed In America, that will
contain more God and less gold!
DISEASE GERMS COMING.
The earth will move Into a coloslc
belt In Its orbit, of extreme heat, spmo
time between the 1st and the 15th, nnd
cause a break in the gaseous matter
now passing over the sun and let down
the stale heat which will debilitate
man's physical nature to weakness.
Therefore, we warn mankind to pre
pare themselves to ward off tho typhoid
germs which will abound In animal
matter; as the air will be, we have
reasons to believe, highly charged with
deadly poisons! Mothers, be careful
what you feed your little ones and do
not give them Ice cold water to drlnkt
Where Is she, the mother, that would
flood the dry tea kettle at red heat
with cold water? An act which would
lie no more Inconsistent with the law
of nnture than the lining of tho heated
stomach of the child with lco cold
water, with the mercury up In the nine
ties. THE HIGH FLOOD DAYS.
The High Flood days, best days to
plnnt or harvest crops are the 5th, 6th,
7th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 11th, 15th, 16th,
20th, 21st. 22d, 23d, 24th and 25th. Tho
26th and 27th will be the time to kill
obnoxious plants; as the vital forces at
that time undergo a change, and lose
their grip on old mother earth. Pull
out plantain leaf, cut off Canada this
tles, briars, etc, Cut off tops and one
half Inch of root with n sharp hoe or
otherwise, and you will destroy their
growth. The Eth and 6th will bo the
best days to set out celery plants and
the 10th, 11th and 12th will be the next
best. Turnip seed should be sowed on
the 15th, 16th or 17th. The High Flood
days in rivers and streams good days
to catch llsh are the 5th, 6th, 7th,
10th, 11th. 12th, 23d, 24th and 25th. All
fish should be killed as soon as they
nro landed; never allow the flsh to die
from asphyxiation, ns It renders them
unfit for the table. See our Storm and
Sign calendar.
THE STORMS FOR AUGUST.
The extreme heat, destructive hall
storms, cloud bursts, vegetable mi
crobes, the comet, etc., came last month
as wo predicted. Now we warn you
all that there will 'be another break In
the sea of gaseous matter now passing
over the sun, some time between the
1st and 15th, and cause deadly heat, de
structive floods, unprecedented hail
storms, high gales, hurricanes, cy
clones, tidal waves, cloud bursts, etc.
Unless earthquakes are produced by
the strong magnetic currents now run
ning southward, the Atlantic coast will
be In danger of a tidal wave. A warm
wave of insufferable severity will strike
some sections and break the heat rec
ords, while a cool wave bordering on
frost and snow will visit others. Farm
ers living along rivers and streams may
suffer great loss this month, The lat
ter half of the month will bring strange
phenomena and earth disturbances or
phenomenal weather, as the sun will
be wholly enveloped In a sea of gaseous
matter and no man can foretell what
the result will be.

And hard times wero here, and life he

It was wretched to think that tho girl of

JA an
HE weather tho past fortnight
has not been such as to en
courage anything but grass
nd cows. Those people who
were fortunate enough to be at
horn?, thanked their lucky stars that
they wero not at some resort where
the rooms wero scarcely designed for
continuous occupancy, unrelieved by
out door diversions. Many who wero
by tho" seashore, particularly along the
Jersey coast, hastily scurried home,
more or 'ess changed ns to features
and feelings by the ravages of mos
quitoes. These Insects seemed to bo
making a record at the resorts during
the wet weather. One Scrantonlan re
turned from Atlantic City the other
day and told of his experience one rainy
afternoon when ho started out with
,an umbrella for a walk. He had not
'gone far, however, when he decided to
Hpc for refutro to the hotel ns under
his lifted umbrella such swarms of
mosquitoes gathered, to keep out of the
heavy rain, that his condition was
simply unendurable. A lady who was
Intending to spend some time on the
Jersey coast returned one day this
week nearly 111 from effects of mosqui
to bites, and thus again is evidence
noted that Scranton is a reasonably
good spot for an abode.
The fact that so manv people aro
away and are likely to be absent for
the coming month has Influenced tho
decision to postpone the August events
at the Country club until later, when
many Interesting affairs will make the
autumnal season a gay one. The open
tournament, scheduled for August 11,
has been postponed until September 23
and the links will probably bo occu
pied for the next few weeks only In
ptactlce and Impromptu games.
The Crystal Lake Golf club may have
an open tournament within a fortnight
If tho rain stops In that time, when a
large number of Scruntonlans will be
entertained at Fern Hall with a dance
following tho -afternoon game.
Tho rain of the week has Inter
fered with golf, driving parties, porch
parties and every other form of amuse
ment planned by the stay-at-homes
and their guests. The driving contest
at the Country club last Saturday was
spoiled by the unpleasant weather and
the ladles' handicap scheduled for to
day has been postponed until Septem
ber 18.
The opening of the links at Crystal
lake was postponed from last week,
but as the tees are decidedly soaked
and the holes are so full of water as
to leave little room for a ball, the event
of that delightful resort will not take
place today. Many Phlladelphlans are
Interested In these Units and mucn
pleasure Is anticipated from their use
this season.
The Glenburn course on the country
place of Frank H. Jermyn will prob
ably be opened on Tuesday by the sub
urban residents In that vicinity, Messrs.
Henry Belln, Jr., F. H. and E. B. Jer
myn, A. H. Storrs, G. W. S. Fuller, J.
A. Linen and others. At present the
course consists of but five holes.
Golf Is now recommended by all the
society doctors for making the eyes
clear and preserving a good figure.
One of the rules given by a Country
club golfrr, (not originally she says),
Is that one should think of thirty-six
different things before making a stroke;
that at least this is the exact number
of cautions which have been painstak
ing pouted into her intellect by vari
ous experts In tho game.
Soma ere who has suffered from ex
perience in a "cuppy lie" says that the
game of golf consists in "putting little
balls Into little holes with instruments
very ill adf.ptad to the purpose."

"Essays on Social Topics" by Lady
Cook, formerly Tennesso Claflln, Is tho
tltlo of a modest volume in luild crimson
cover, which Is Issued by tho Roxhurgho
press, London. Americans are already
familiar with the tenor of Lady Cook's
writings on social topics. She Is a re
former who writes at high tension and
with much of tho manner of hysteria.
Her hobby Is that society Is not taking
tho proper care of the relations between
the sexes; that women aro held to a
sterner code for physical frailties and
social errors than men; that mothers
don't Instruct their (laughters ns they
should In tho physiology and hygiene of
womanhood and that scientific principles
and treatment should bo applied to the
question of raco perpetuation so that
unclean men may bo prevented from be
coming fathers. Tho zeal of this reform

Today with lactated food, better at
tention to proper sleep and clothing,
and more rareful bathing, there aro
few babies born that cannot be reared
Into sturdy manhood nnd womanhood.
The great scourg of Infant lives Is
cholera Infantum diarrhoea, nnd con
vulsions. All these disorders arlso
from excessive Irritation of the Intes
tinal tract and th loss of strength
thut fellows diarrhoea.
Heat is but a predisposing cause of
all these wcakenlns diseases. With
proper food, and then? Is nothing so
absolutely good as lactated food, all
those dangers may he avoided. Statis
tics show thnt babies thrlvo best on
lactated food. It Is wntth more as a
preventive of cholera infantum than
all the medicines ever made.
Drooping, listless children fed on lac
tated food soon show every sign of bet
ter ncurlshed bodies; they eat mora
heartily, sh'ep with few wakings, play
with more interest, and look better.
Infants that nro "run-down" by tho
effects of hot we.Uh"r at once begin to
"mend" when fed with lactated food.
Little ones who nii nervous and fret
ful under the heat of the summer sun,
and ate with difficulty persuaded to
take other food, eat lactated food with
evident relish.
