CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. Another tire Sacrificed in Toronto to The Fad. A child has died in Toronto under the treatment known as Christian science. At her evidence at the inquest the mother said the only treatment Mrs. Beer used was the mental treatment. She held out to the people that God sent no sickness ; that people merely believed that they were sink. Her. treatment was a silent one, and she gave no medicines. The Truth, according to her, did everything. Her method was to talk kindly to the deceased. She would say: "Percy Beck, you have no mea- sles; you aro a child of God and can- not he sink." She would then, in sil- ence and with closed eyes, give him treatment. The child always seemed better after a treatment. Her charges werea dollar par treatment. Some- times, to those in poor circumstances, she ohargged leas. If witness sent word to Mrs. Beer telling her how the child was she would treat him when ti she was absent from him, and witness could at once notice the difference in his condition. The attitude which leads to the adop- tion of these methods is supposed to be one of faith. _ But it is difficult to understand why a lack of faith should be inferred from the use of medioines and other human aids any more than from the use of seeds, ploughs and reapers in farming, or compass, rudder and ohart in navigating the sea. A Lister or a Pasteur exhibits faith in its highest form as he patiently makes his experiment, in confidence that the physical laws under which he works are unvarying and exact and therefore trustworthy.It is this faith that has made possibe the marvellous progress of medical science in the alleviation of suffering and the prevention and cure of diseases, and we might as well show our faith by abutting out the light of day as by shutting out the light that has been shed on the causes and treat- ment of disease by patient investiga- tion. It is deplorable that human life should be sacrificed to a notion which is no more Christian than it is scien- tific. Faith in an overruling Provi- dence is not weakened but strengthened by the knowledge that Providence works by fixed and intelligible laws, not by fits and starts. i n tkeless Powder. A despatch from Ottawa says:—The English manufacturers of explosives are at the present moment urging upon the Department of Militia the merits of their various products. The introduc- tion of the Lee-Metford rifles means the adoption, though perhaps to a limit- ed extent, of smokeless powder. For the Imperial army kordite has been adopted, but there are other competi- tors in the field.

All went well for a time. His al- lowance was always ready for him when it was due, and the business con- tinued to prosper. After a while he began to notice that theydidn't ask for his advice, and his sensitive nature led him to believe that it was not wanted. This idea was strengthened by a little incident that took place the following. year. The men were planting barley in one of the fields, when - he ventured to suggest that it would likely do better if sown with oats. In a moment his youngest son, who was superintending tbe work, told him, rather impudently, that he knew what he was doing. ' This uncalled-for and undutiful re- buff fanned the old man's idea into a fact. He was certain now that his ad- vice was not wanted, and he fancied that he was in the way. On the day that his eldest grandson would attain his majority there was to be a family gathering, and he was in- vited, but his injured feelings made him want to be absent. He was having awalk the day after he received the invitation when he met one of his old friends, and in convemsa- tio told him how he felt. , Ah, Withsea," replied his friend, " you shouldn't have signed the paper, and then this wouldn't have happened.' I know that, Gillott," he answered; "but I never thought that it would come to this." Perhaps not,; but you can't trust your own children nowadays; they be so well educated." " What has education got to do with this, Gillott 9" he enquired, as if in a mist of thought. ht. " Why, verthin•far boys get so much schooling now that he can scheme to rob you under your very nose, if you don't keep both eyes open."

"And so I will," he answered with emphasis. "But, stop a minute, Withsea. I have an idea that will change their be- haviour if you do as I tell you." • And what's that i" he inquired anx- iouslyy. Why, here's a bag with some money in it, say :2200. You take it with you when you go to the party and say nothing to no one," All right, Gillott, I will; but what am 1 to do with it then?" " Wait and see, old fellow," be an- swered cheerily. " I know, and we'll do the trick between us.' "Very well," replied Withsea. "You're a good schemer, Gillett, if you didn't have much schooling." , Never mind the schooling. Good morning," and off he went about his own business. The day for tbe family party arrived, and Robert Witham was there, with his bag of money, wondering what Gil- lott's scheme was. They were all seat- ed at the table, and in the middle of the meal there was a loud rap at the front door. I wonder who's there," said the wife of the elder son, in surprise. " I don't know," replied her husband, but hearing the maid go along the pas- sage he said, 'Sarah has gone to see, and we shall soon know." In a minute or two Sarah came back, and said, " Arr. Gillett wishes to see Mr. Robert Witbsea, and is waiting in the sitting -room." The old man got up from the table in order to answer tbe summons of his friend, and returned in a few minutes. As he took his place again one of the women said:— I wonder what was the business that caused lir. Gillett to come and disturb father f" ' Oh, nothing much," he said with a smile. "But, father," she said, "I know it is something interesting, for it makes you smile, so.

' And came in vain, I suppose C" she asked. 01, no," be replied. "I happened to have it with me, and so I lot him have it.'

The Bane. of Minims of Lives ITS CA S '1/ 'Sick Headache is a malady which ;makes its appearance moat frequently in women. • The attaok often begins in the morning, upon awakening, after a night of restlessness or heavy sleep ; though it is especially wont to occur in connection with emotional disturbances, such as excitement, fright or mental strain. The pain is usually localized, being in one or the other, more frequently the left side of the head. It is generally accompanied by great disturbance of the stomach, when light pains the eyes; noises otherwise unnoticed inflict punishment; odors excite nausea. From the fact that people with strong nerves annoyer troubled with Side Headache, it is generally conceded by the most eminent phy- sicians that it is dependent upon weak nerves or nervous debility, and can only be permanently cured by etrongthening the nervous system. The Groat South American Nor - vine Tonic is the only remedy manu- factured which is prepared especially and expressly for the nerves. It acts directly on the nerve centres at the base of the brain, corroding any derangement there may be, greatly increasing the supply of :MVO= energy or nerve force, giving great tone to the whole body, and thereby enabling a system- subject to Siok Headache to withstand future attacks. It gives relief in one day and speedily effects a permanent cure. Mrs. Isabella B. Graham, of Friendewood, Indiana, writes: "For a number of years I have suffered intensely with Nervous and Siok Headache; had hot flashes, was sleepless and became despondent. Dr. Faris, of Bloomington, Indiana, spoke so highly of South American Nervine that I was induced to buy a bottle. That purchase led to a few. others, and now I sleep soundly, feel buoyant, strong and vigorous. I would not be back in the condition I was in when I began taking this medicine, for any sum you could name." Mrs. J. H. Prouty, of La Grange, Indiana, writes: "Your South Amer - loan Nervine worked a marvellous mire with me last year, I began taking it last April about the 20th.
