A TERRIBLE PROPHECY.
The Red Sunsets Cyclones and
Earthquakes Foretelling
Coming Disaster —How
to Meet It.
The recent mysterious appearances
ollowinr sunset and preceding sunri-e
have attractel wide attention {ro:::
students from the skies, and the people
generally. During the days of recent
weeks the sun s-jenii to have be.?n ob
scured bv a thin vci of a dull leaden
hue which, as the sun receded toward
the horizon, became more luminous,
then yellow, then orange, then red;
and, as night settled down upon the
earth, a duli purple. At first it was
thought these appearances were ordi
nary sunset reflections of light but it is
now pretty certain that they are either
the misty substance of the tail of some
unseen comet, in which the earth is en
veloped, or a surrouuding stratum of
world dust or very small meteors.
Professor Brooks, of the Red House
Observatory, Phelps, X. \ ~ has turned
his telescope upon these objects and
discovered what he thinks are myriads
cf telescopic meteors. If it is unorgan
ized world du.-t, or decomposed vapors,
as the Democrat and Chronicle of Ro
chester, X. V., remarks: 'How is
this matter to be disposed of? Will it
settle and form a deposit upon the
earth, or remain a partial opaque shell
about the earth to cut off a portion of
the sun's light upon it ?"
Whatever the mystery is, there is no
denying that some very strange forces
are at work in the upper airs. The
terrible tornadoes and cyclones which
have swept our own country, and the
fearful volcanoes and earthquakes
which have destroyed so many cities
and thousands of people—the tidal
waves which myzteriousfy rise and fall
on coasts hitherto unvexed by them—
the tremendous activity which is evi
dent in the sun by the constant revela
tion oi enormous spots upon its surface
—all indicate unusual energy in the
heavenly bodies.
These circumstances recall Professor
Girimmer's prophecies that from 1881
to 1887, the passage of the five great
planets—Mars, Neptune, Jupiter,
Uranus and Saturn—around the sun
would produce strange and wonderful
phenomena, lie says: "The waters
of the earth will become more or less
poisonous. The air wiil be foul with
noisome odors. Ancient races will
disappear from the earth." He attempts
to prove bis prophecy by the fact that
in 1720, when Mars and Saturn made
their passage around the sun coinci
dentally, great destruction and mortali
ty visited all parts of the globe. He
also found the same results in previous
perehelion passages of the planets, and
argues that these circumstances always
produce epidemics and destructive dis
eases which will baffie the skill of the
most eminent physicians; that the poor
will die by thousands, the weak and in
temperate falling first, those whose
blood has been impoverished by excess
of work or dissipation next and only
those who are in comparative vigor
shall escape to enjoy the era of renew
ed activity and prosperity which will
follow the period of destruction.
Inasmuch as the entire world seems
subject to the sway of the heavenly
bodies no part ot the earth, he thinks,
can escape scouraging. ile even pre
dicts that America will lose over ten
millions of people; tliat farmers will he
stricken with fear and cease to till the
soil; that famine will make human
misery more wretched. That hundreds
will flee to overcrowded cities for aid
in vain. The sudden changes in ocean
currents, temperature and surroundings
will entirely transform the face of na
ture and climate of countries; that the
air will be so foul with malaria and
other noxious gases ; that those who
t-ut vive will lie troubled with disorders
of the digestive organs. That many
who escape other ills will bloat with
dropsy and suddenly pass away, while
others will grow thin anil drag out a
miserable existence in indescribable
agony for weeks. Neuralgic pains in
different parts of the body will tor
ment them. They will easily tire
and become despondent. A faint, hot
feeling will be succeeded by chilly sen
sations while hallucinations and dread
of impending ill will paralize all effort.
"The birds of the air, the beasts of the
field and even the fish of the sea will
become diseased, poisoning the air and
poisoning the waters of the globe."
We are told on the other hand that
those who shall pas-s through this
period of trial will Lave larger enjoy
ment of life and health. The earth
will yield more abundantly than ever
before. The animal kingdom will be
more prolific and life prolonged very
materially. This prolongation of life
will be owing to the healthy electric
and magnetic influences that will per
vade the atmosphere. It would per
haps seem that the present redness of
the sun, and the presence of a belt or
veil of rnosmic matter, justified, in a
measure, the prediction of Professor
Grimmer, but disturbing as his predic
tion may be we are told for our com
fort that th:: strong and pure blooded
need have little to fear in these calami
tics, th >se who are delicate or indis
posed should adopt means to keep the
system well supported and the blood
pure and that the most philosophical
and effective method of accomplishing
this is to keep the kidneys aud liver in
good condition. From the testimonials
of such men as Dr. J >io Lewis and Pro
fessor it- A. Uiinn, M. I)., Dean of trie
1 nited States Medical College, New
York, and thousands of influential non.
professional people, it seems alinos
certain tnat for this purpose there is no
preparation known to science equal to
Warner's Site Cure, better known as
Warner's .Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
This medicine has acquired the finest
reputation of' any preparation that was
ever put upon the market. It is a rad
ical blood purifier, which soothes and
heals all iiilhmed organs, strengthens
the nervous system washes out all evi
dences of decay, regulates digestion,
prevents mal-assimilation of food in a
philosophical aud rational manner, for
tiliea the sy.-tem against climatic
changes aud uiilarial influences aud the
destructive agencies which seem to be
BO abundant io tbese "evil days."
it is not our purpose to dispute the
correetue s of» Professor Orimmer's
prophi eics. As we have said, the
marked disturbances of the past few
years would se in to give a semblance
of verification of his theory. It is cer-
tain, as atcvo staled, that we are pass
ing through what may be regarded a~
a crucial period and it is the part of
wise men not to ignore, hut to lea:n to
fortify themselves against the } ostibil
itv of overcome by these evil.-.
It is & duty which each n:an oircs to
himself, and his fellows, to mitigate as
niii jL ss possiMc tne tuff ring human
ity and in BO way Letter CM he acecm
l lish this purpose than t) see to it that
ho, biusselr, is fortified by the best
known preparation in the strongest
p -ib!e minntr end that be exert
the i; flueocc of his own example up n
his fellows to the end that they, to >,
liiiy shbre with Lim immunity from
the" destructive influences which seek
his ruin.

Clara Louise Kellogg is to re
ceive $12,000 for singinfr twenty nights

she is in love with Dr. Bull's Cough

out it, if she should be attacked sud
denly by hoarseness.

Rheumatic Syrup Co.:
Gents—l feel it my duty to let you
know how much I have been benefited
by the use of Rheumatic Syrup within
the last three weeks. I have 'ueen a
great sufferer for the last six years—
much of the time my limbs and hands
were so swollen that I was unable to
help myself or move without help. 1
have used many external applications
and liniments, which were warranted
to cure, and some of which did afford
temporary relief, but the pain soon re
turned, more acute and aggravating
than before. I am fully convinced
that, to effect a permanent and lasting
cure for rheumatism, t|ie liver and kid
neys niust be regulated. This the
Rheumatic Syrup has done forme, and
now I am as well as ever, and am in
debted to you for this valuable remeby,
which is sure to have the largest sale
of any medicine in the market, as soon
as its merits are known.
I am truly yours,
MRS. SABAII DENNIS.
—lf the price of overshoes comes
down can it be called a gum drop?
—Why suffer longer from dyspep
sia, indigestion, want of appetite, loss
of strength, lack of energy, malaria, in
termittent fevers, etc ? Brown's Iron
Bitters never fail to cure these diseases.
They act like a charm on the digestive
organs, removing all dyspeptic symp
toms, such as belching, heartburn, bil
liousness, etc. Remember it is the
only iron preparation that will not
blacken tho teeth or give headache,
ask your druggist concerning its mirit.
—A health journal advises, "Do not
lie on the left side." This is a very
proper admonition. If you are obliged
to lie, be careful and lie on the right
side. You will find it pays in the end.
Communion Wine.
Physicians have used Speer's Port
(Jtape Wine, of New Jersey, and, hav
ing applied to it the strictest test, pro
nounce it a pure wine, and recommeud
it to the aged and infirm, and for gen
eral use where wine is desirable, as the
most reliable of wiues to be bad It
received the highest award at the Cen
tennial Inhibition. Mr. Speer also
preserves the grape juice fresh and
sweet just as it runs from the pre.-s,
not by the use of spirits, but by ex
tracting the fermenting principle from
the ripe grapes when mushed. For

"Twenty years, I ."aid. I'n to the time I
mentioned I ha I suff re l from divased liver
for twenty years," said Mr. T. S. llaueock, of
Richmond, Va, half sadiv, as though thinking
of that dilapidated section of his life. "At

to omit the liver from the human anatomy."
"Bad enough twenty years of that sort of
thing," responded u listener. "What wa* the
upshot ot it?"
"The upshot was that some time ago I went
down to Scott's drug store in this city, and
bought one of Benson's Capciue Porous Pla -

liA/'S SOAP is used, no unpleasant and sickening odors to fill
your Louses, no laborious rubbing on the -yash-1 oard, while the
washing can be done in one-half the time necessary by following the old
worn-out method.
MADAM —for it is to the ladies Ave desire to speak more especially
—you are the interested person in this matter, you it is that suffers the
ills arising from the wasu-tub and its heavy cares ; you it is to whom
the perplexities and responsibilities of the household rightfully belong,
anu you it is that should interest yourself in a trial of the qualities of this
soap. Uiat has always proven itself to be a boon of salvation
TO SUFFERING HUMANITY.
We do not come to you with a plausible story calculated to have
you try it, simply for the amount of money such a sale would bring us ;
we do not come you as irresponsible parties, who have no reputation
to suffer calumny, but we do present to you this brand of soap upon an
absolute guarantee and recommendation of a w U-known industrial
establishment of Philadelphia, of sixteen years' existence. Do you sup
pose for a moment it would compensate us to make false statements to
you and ruin our well-earned reputation? No, dear reader; what wc
say about DAY'S SOAP is the truth, and it is sustained by the evidences !
of thousands ot housewives from all over the country, besides which we
stand ready to endorse it all with ready cash.

remember —If you don't intend to follow the directions i
do not trv the soap at all, for unless you do this you will be disap- j
pointed, and then you will scold us and yourself as well.
The cost of one cake will convince you that it is the best ant?, j
ch .' tp' .t soap offered you, while the smiles that will encircle your brow
will do justice to a golden sunset.
Ask your grocer for it. and do not allow him to put you off with
anything else for a substitute, for every dealer c«ui obtain it, and should
he refuse you send direct to
