Members cf New Sect 8uddenly En dowed With Ability to Speak Chi nese and Greek. Power to heal the sick, to prophesy, and tho gift of tongues like that which enabled the first apostles to preach the gospel in strange lands, are all claimed by the members of the Church of the Full Gospel, a new religious sect which In the past three years has sprung up In Colorado and grown with remarkable rapidity. In an old church on the corner of Nineteenth and Welton street, the congregation in Denver, which now numbers 800, holds Its meetings on Sunday for regular service. Every Wednesday afternoon a meeting Is held at which It Is claimed the power of Divine healing has been again and again manifested. The Rev. G. F. Fink Is founder of the new sect. The pastor of the Denver congregation Is the Rev. S. A. Brelesford. Fifteen young men are now preparing them selves to become missionaries In for eign fields. Most of them understand no foreign language, but they will leave In the faith that this difficulty will bo overcome through divine aid. The claim is made that In the pres ence of many people members of the church have already been gifted with tongues they never heard before. Ethel Brelesford, the 12-year-old daughter of Pastor Brelesford, is said to have recently Bpokcn in Chinese. James Dlltz, assistant roadmaster of the Rock Island, recently resigned to become a missionary. He, too they say, can speak Chinese.

Truly ingenious is the device which cleans the pipe lines that carry crude petroleum. As the oil passes through the conduits paraffin incrusts the sides of the pipes, and proves a ser ious hindrance to the free passage of the oil. The device used to remedy this evil is a knife about two feet In length, with a sharp edge, con structed like the thread of a screw; indeed the knife resembles a huge, headless screw. It Is slightly small er than the pipe through which it is to pass. When the crust of paraffin renders a cleansing necessary, this Instrument is inserted in the pipe. The pressure of the stream of oil drives it forward, revolving rapidly as It hurries along, and scrapes the channels clean, finally dropping into the receiving tank. Tells Their Trade. Nearly every trade has its peculiar malady. Blacksmiths are liable to paralysis of the right side, due to the shock of hammering with the sledge, and thay are also liable to weak eyes, caused by the glare of the forge. Carpenters are liable to varicose veins, because they stand so much, while continuous sawing tends to in jure the artery that carries the blood from the heart to the right arm. Bakers and miners, the one through the white dust of flour and the other through the black dust of coal, get weak lungs. Miners get weak eyes, too, from working so much in the dark. How's This?

HOLIDAY TRADE HAS CALL Steady Gain, In Distribution of Winter Goods Supply of Labor Still Inadequate. R. G. Dun & Co.'s ''Weekly Review of Trade" snys: "Holiday trado monopolizes atten tion, although there Is a steadj' gain In distribution of winter goods as the temperature becomes more season able. Some Irregularity is still noted in collections, attributed to high money rates or failure to market the crops. This would make the one ad verse feature of the commercial sit uation Indirectly due to these throe most striking evidences of prosperity, scarcity of men, money and railway facilities. "The Inadequate supply of labor Is attested by numerous Increases In wages at textilo mills and in mnny other occupations; the financial sit uation is shown by the heavy deficit of the associated banks and tho sixth measure of relief this year by the sec retary of tho treasury, and complaints about freight blockades are numerous, one shipper at the SMth stating that hundreds of tons of pig iron have not yet started, although the cars were londed In October. 'There is little ldlo machinery at leading manufacturing plants, tho ur gency for quick delivery being most noticeable at steel and cotton mills, and all are well engaged. ''A few quotations for iron advanc ed during the last 'week, notably Bessemer Iron and light rails, but in most sections of the market there was stability, and purchasers of pig Iron for delivery during the last half of 1907 were reluctant to contract at present prices. 'High prices were fully maintained, the only element of weakness being supplied by country hides, on which concessions are obtainable because de mand is confined to tanners of upper leather. Leather is strong, especial ly sole, and much quiet absorption of hemlock and union sole is attributed to expectation of another advance. ''At the exchanges dealing In the leading farm staples the only Im portant influence of tho week was sup plied by the official reports." MARKETS. PITTSBURO.

The Evils of Constipation ar many; in fact, almost every serious illness has its origin in constipation, and some medicines, instend of preventing con, stipation, add to it. This la true of most cathartics, which, when lirnt used, have a beneficial effect, but the dose has to be continually increased, and before long the remedy ceases to have the slightest effect. There is one preparation, however, that can be relied upon to produce the same results with the same dose, even after fifty years' daily use, and this is Brand reth's Pills, which has a record of over 100 year oa the standard remedy for con stipation and all troubles arising from an impure state of the blood. Brandreth'a Pills are the same fine lax stive tonio pill your grandparents used and can be found in every drug and medi cine store, either plain or sngar-coated. Japan Growls at New Women. The girl who is the product of the female education of the present day does not make a suitable wife for ordinary Japanese by any means. She learns much at school that is of no use to her in after life and she is too often made - conceited - by the smattering of knowledge she posses sea and is apt to put on airs. There is a great lack of practicality about the Instruction given to young girls at most modern schools. Some of the girls from these schools may suit the tastes of officials, but the ma jority of them are shunned by marry ing men for the reason given above. Rlkuge Zasshi.
