There is no medicine in the world which has gained such fame as ST. JACOBS OIL : this is, however, not in the least astonishing, when we oonsider its truly wonderful curative powers. Mr. F. Rodenberg, of Grandview, called at our office last week and related the following cir cumstance: "I suffered with Rheumatism for over six years; consulted many physicians and tried hundreds of remedies, but without avail Having seen ST. JACOBH OIL advertised in your paper, and heard of some most astonish ing cures, I sent to Rockport for a bottle of the aod used it according to directions. The relief I felt was almost 'electric.' I got better at onoe, and now there is not a trace of Rheu matism left la my body." > I A QUESTION of interest to Romau 1 Catholic fathers and mothers all over the ' country has just been brought to a sharply defined issue in Massachusetts. A number of I well-to-do Irish born citizens, of Cambridgeport, one of them an Alderman, have been sending their children to the public schools, alleging as a reason that the instruction given there is better than the parochial school affords. The priest of the parish has forbidden these persons to approach tne sacraments so long as they per sist in sending their children to the public schools; and it is now reported that the Arch bishop of Boston fully sustains him. At latest advice the recalcitrant parishioners were still holding out. BEFORE ordering your winter cloth ing call at J. & G. F. Keck's Merchant Tailor ing establishment. A GERMAN professor has, if we may credit the London Telegraph, after patient experiments with his nose, proved that organ to be the seat of his soul. "Mv researches," savs the professor, "have assured me that the seat of the immortal part of man is his nose. More than this, I can, by going into a room, tell at once by sniffing whether those who were last in it were sad or mirthful." This apostle of the human nose brings the great theory which he has developed from his diagnosis down to the practical matter of the nose as the of smell; and he shows how different odors pro duce different emotions and aspirations of the soul—impulses toward love, hate, laughter, grief, religion, trade, patriotism or 'dinner. Thus through the nose we may mould the character and reach the soul. The Professor has also constructed instruments for reg istering the wave-motion of smells on the nose or soul, and showed his audience, in a recent lecture, on the blackboard, the curves taken by the scent atoms when striking on the soul nerves. Finallv, he professes to have dis covered "a smefl-murdering essence, christened ozodone, with which I can soothe the angry man to mildness or infuriate a Quaker." WM. MARDORF is paying more for Beef Hides, Kips, Calf Skins, Sheep Pelts and Tallow than any Tanner or dealer in the county. ALMOST every day at this season of the year flocks of wild geese can be seen high in the air flying southward. These birds have about completed a long journey from the shores, perhaps, of the North Sea, and con tiguous marshes and inland plains where they have passed the summer, rearing their young in safety, undisturbed by man or beast, and going through their dreaded annual crisis of pin feather moulting, which deprives them every year for three weeks or more of their power to rise in the air. And this leads us to ponder upon the use and service which nature makes of these vast areas of land and watery waste in the circumpolar regions. It is certain that without some such nursery the countless flocks of water fowl that now delight mail as a hunter and as an epicure would cease to exist within the short span of a season or two. And then what shall we say of the action of this im mense expanse of frosty earth and chill water upon the atmosphere of the globe ? It comes down upon the incandescent regions of the equa tor purifying and preserving, just as a stream of cold air travels through a refrigerator over the perishable articles placed therein during the dog davs here. The x'reat silent moors ami rugged "mountains of the far north may be in deed unfit for the settlement of civilized hu manity, but they are indirectly perhaps ne cessary to the life and health of these settle ments in more favored lands to the southward.

THE sudden and complete destruc- i tion of a large building in Kansas City with i the loss of several lives, is believed to afford Another instance of dust explosion. No other , explanation appears tenable, judging from the , particulars of the disaster as furnished by the | press. There was no boiler explosion, and had j there been, the disaster would have presented ( different characteristics from those which actu- ] ally marked it. Four brick three-story build- | ings suddenly col lapsed with a loud report, and ( were immediately enveloped in flames. No boiler explosion could have thrown down all 1 these buildings at once and set them nil on fire j in an instant. The belief is that the buildings, which were occupied by an extensive cracker and candv works, had become filled with flour dust; that this dust became ignited in some j manner not known, and which probably will \ never be satisfactorily explained; and that the ' dust-charged air of all the buildings took fire simultaneously, leveled the walls by the explosion, and then set everything combustible in flames. When the disastrous explosion and ; destruction of the Minnesota mills occurred, the , theory of dust ignition and explosion was first broacned, and was received with incredulity. There happened to be no other possible way of accounting for the disaster, and those concerned were induced to make thorough investigation into the possibility of such ignition and explo sion. Before the question had l>een completely settled another explosion without apparent cauise took place in the East, ami the investiga tion into this case furnished additional evidence in support of the dust explosion theory. The destruction of a starch factory left no doubt remaining, and now it is an established fact that air charged with fine flour dust is highly inflammible; that it may even take fire from the electricity generated by the belts of the machinery; and that the resulting explosion is of terrifically destructive force. Whilst this discovery explains many disastrous explosions and fi/es that had previously been mysterious, it warns all those who are engaged in the man ufacture or manipulation of flour, of hitherto unsuspected periU in their business.

This is the title of a new book by L. T. Rhm- LAP, and contains a lull description of GEN. Grant's Tour. After an absence of over two years, the General has returned to our shores. During this period he has visited every Euro pean capital, and has seen with his own eyes the people of every nation. Everywhere, in England, Ireland and Scotland; in France, Germanv, Italy and Austria; in Switzerland, as in Denmark, Russia and Egypt, India, Siam, China and Japan, he has been welcomed by rulers and people alike, in a manner and splendor and fervor of hospitalititv which have been rightly felt by the mass of the American people as not merely a compliment to the Gen eral and Ex-Pre-sidcnt, but as a gratifying evi dence of good will toward us as a people. The author's graphic pen-pictures of the places visited—receptions, banquets, dinners and invited guests—will prove of intense inter est to evejy reader. The addresses of welcome and Gen. Grant's replies are given in full ; and these in themselves are worth more than the price of the book. We earnestly advise every one to buy this book and read it. It is nicely bound in cloth, printed on heavy paper, and illustrated with twenty fine engravings, printed from stone, and contains about 400 octavo pages. Price $1.50.

His gun was loaded with buckshot. —Joseph Zengerle, of Gerniania, Pa., tried one barrel of a double-barrelled gun, and with out testing the other barrel gave the gun to a lit tle boy to play with. The bov pointed it at Zen gerle, snapped the trigger of the empty barrel, then the other one. The charge of fine shot lodged in the victim's abdomen, and in two hours Mr. Zengerle was a dead man. This death was due to a violation of a gunning rule which is imperative und absolute, namely, "Never under any circumstances, whatever, point a gun at a human being."

Mrs. Julia McNair Wright's new book, just published by J. C. MCCI UDY & Co., of Philadelphia, has received the warmest commendations from the Press and Clergy in all sections of the country. The following extracts clearly indicate that it is a work of sterling merit. The Christian Advocate sayt: —A book of more practical utility will seldom, if ever, be found outside of inspiration. The Presbyterian nay* .-—The prevailing fea ture of the book is its good sense, ami when we say this of such a book we pay it the highest compliment we can imagine. It is true every where to the Evangelical faith. The Journal ana Metnenger, Cincinnati, 0., says; —We believe that it would be of unspeak able benefit to every family in our land could it be read not onlv by fathers and mothers, but by sons and daughters as they arc growing up, Its healthy tone, its common sense and truth fulness coiumenu it, and can but reuder it of the highest value. The New York School Journal says:— ln this work we have all the lights and shadows that go to make up the picture of a real home. It imparts instruction in the whole range of domestic government in the most pleasing and effective manner. The Ho. Republican says: —This is essen tially a home book. It must have been dic tated by a heart that has been baptized in the beauty of the holiness of home. » » » » The sentiment of the book is lofty while the style is natural, cheerful, easy anil fluent, and the pages are so many bright pictures of domes tic quiet and comfort. Ilrv. Dr. March s tj/.i It is s> well written that it cannot fail to be read, and it cannot be read without bringing sweetness and light into somebody's home. From the above, it will be seen that this is a sensible, beautiful, und extremity valwtb/e book. Its sphere is wide as tile world itself and it will exert a powerful influence for good in every home into which it enters. Agents for its sale are wanted everywhere.
