WIfty-two Miles Underground, and Full of Burning Brimstone. " Hell, or hades, or gehenna, or sheet, or the inferno, or whatever you want to call 4431100A9L,AttitnAtfrinflpu!LIC Jifty-two miles below the surface of t e earth at sea -level, and has the cubic con- tents of 542,900,000 miles." That is the statement mado yesterday by Rev. C. A. A. Taylor, D. D., educational and financial travelling agentfor the Florida African Methodist Episcopal Conferences, Indianapolis Freeman representative and general preacher. " I have come to this conclusion," he continued, " after a. most painstaking investigation into the most comprehensive literature of science, phil- osophy and theology ; of libraries in Paris, London, New York •and Boston, together with a minute investigation into the holy scriptures. I base my belief on the Scriptures.' In the first place, Christ always speaks of hell as being down and not up. Again, • it is often and everywhere spoken of in the Bible as being a lake of fire and brimstone, and if it is not, why should the Bible say it is ? You notice where the Bible says that when Christ was three days in hell he lifted up his eyes. How could he look up if he was not already down ? I get at my conclusion by estimating the increase of heat as we go downward,and have figured that at exactly fifty-two miles the het is just great enough to melt any known substance. Here the lake of fire and brim stone begins and extends through the whole interior. It was once completely filled with a molten mass, but God has put it into the heart of man and constrained him -to bring about the grand consummation. In obedience to God's mandate man is gradually emptying out this interior by sinking oil wells and coal mines. Besides this volcanoes are gradually preparing a place for the unregenerate who persist in disobeying divine law. The Holy Book says that at the coming of the judgment the, earth will be rolled together as a scroll and burned with an unquenchable fire. This means that the interior will be so emptied out that the crust will break in and the friction .caused by molecular disentegration will create the heat which will consume the world and leave only the lake of fire. The good will escape by being called to heaven. The Bible says the sun moves around the earth, and does•not say that the earth is round. For that reason I believe the earth to be flat, or at least not as round as the sci- entists believe it to be. I have about con- cluded that there are many suns and that we may have a new one every day. --Chi- cago Tribune. About the Sich-Ropm. • * 'Let in the sunshine. Banish all confusion. Cleanliness is the first rule. Make mustard plasters thin. Ask the doctor as to visitors. Don't ask questions of sick people. Wear a clean dress and a bright smile. Flowers are permissible, but never in profusion. Simple surprises are a pleasure to a con- valescent. Rheumatic patients should lie between woolen sheets. Eat a cracker or two before going into the room of contagion. A sandwich of minced raw beefsteak often tempts an invalid. - A mustard plaster mixed with the white of an egg will not blister. Watch the ventilation and guage the temperature by a thermometer. The sick chamber should be plainly fur- nished and no heavy hangings. The best night light is a candle, weighted with a nail, and made to float in a glass of water. All woollen or similar goods should be re- moved from the room where contagion is under treatment. Most Extraordinary Coincidence on Record. According to a little work on coincidence, Which has justdbeen issued, the following is quite the most extraordinary coincidence recorded: More than 200 years 'ago, on Dec. 5th, 1664, a boat crossing the Menai Strait, with 81 passengers sank. The only man who escaped death was a Mr. Hugh Williams. More than 100 years later, on Dec. 5th, 1780, another vessel with a large number of passengers sank under the same circum- stattees and in the same place. All the pas- sengers wore drowned except one (and the facts are proved to the hilt), a certain Hugh Williams. Again, on Dee. 5th, 1820, a boat laden with nearly 30 souls also sank in the same spot. The only escaping passenger was a Hugh Williams. These- coincidences are well known to Welsh antiquarians, and are all recorded by' good authorities. A prominent Brazilian in Paris is quoted as saying in reference to Dom Pedro : " We might all have loved h.im, for he was a good fellow, if only he had not conceived the strange fancy of wishing to govern us." Tin Czar has conferred on the Czarina the Marie cross of honor as a reward for her charitable „work. He is evidently a man who likes to have peace and 'quietness in his family.

ORIGIN, OF TUE "GRIP." A'. Disease That is Still a Great Mystery. " TEM NEW A OQTT A TWP 11/4TCIP this malier), the famishing people fast poison themselves or die. In the village of Ishaky, during divine service, a woman suddenlycried out in a most piteous manner : "0, God, I promise , to light a candle at your altar if only you'll I give me a bit of bread as big as iny finger, for I've eaten nothing for five days." An- other woman, unable to say even this much, fell down exhausted from the effects of an involuntary fast of the same duration. A well-known 'pariah priest, F. Philimonoff, describing the scenes that meet his eyes daily, says : " Many of my parishioners have had no bread for two or three weeks, and are sustaining life as best they may on grass and the foilage of trees." He found children unable to stand on their legs who, on inquiry, proved to be dying of hunger, and to whom he proceeded to administer the last sacraments of his church. In the room in which they were lying he discovered some packets of a powder employed as flour to bake bread of, which, on examination, proved to be the powdered leaves of lime trees, and on this the head of the family had been living for one month. " During the space of two days I adfinnistered the last sacraments to 16 persons dying of hunger." Harrowing though this tale sounds to foreign ears, it is no very unusual thing in Russia, where sometimes whole villages lie perishing of want, without a soul to comfort them on their deathbeds. An official state- ment has,jest been made public to the effect that the entire population of a village (Beohasky district) were accidentally dis- covered to be so enfeebled by hunger that they were actually dying, and not one even of the males could stand on his feet. —Fort- nightly Review. When the Czar Goes a -Journeying. The following -satirical production, pur- porting to show how the Russian court travels, appears ;n the German papers in the form of a letter from O. Russian court functionary to his friend in Berlin : " Dear Friend—The following may serve you as an exact information. It is quite uncertain when we leave Copenhagen. In any case this afternoon at 7 o'clock—it may be also early the day after to -morrow ; but quite certain to -Morrow at noon. • We shall, of course, choose the sea journey, for the land journey suits us much better. For this reason it is not yet decided which we shall prefer. I think we shall go by sea as well as by land. When we leave the steamer we get into the train—that is to say, on to another steamer—I mean a steamship on rails, or rather an express train in the water.We are mainly afraid of sea -sickness, therefore we remain as long as possible on the ocean For, after all, one travels best on terra firma : therefore the sea journey is as good as settled. We travel via. Berlin, where you may await me at the station; but you can save yourself the trouble, as we shall not touch Berlin under any consideration. We shall travel via Stettin. When I say Stet- tin I mean Dantzig. What's the good of our going to Dautzig ? Naturally we shall go direct from Copenhagen per ship to Konigs- berg. Therefore au revoir the day after to- morrow in Berlin. We leave here in a week ; where we shall go is still quite undecided." Two Good Ways or owning Bananas. Have you ever eaten cooked bananas ? Here is a way of preparing them which may not have been known to you : Place eight bananas, peeled (not over -ripe), in a silver or enamelled pan, and pour over them half a pint of good claret or burgundy, with three ounces of sifted sugar and the juice of half a lemon. Stew very gently for twenty or twenty-five minutes. Serve cold, with whipped cream. Another way of cooking bananas is the following: Six bananas, one well -beaten egg, four dessertspoonfuls of flour and two dessertspoonfuls of 'sugar. Mash the fruit into a pulp' with a fork, add the other ingre- dients, beat up well, drop half a dessert- spoonful at a time into boiling -fat, turn as soon as set and keep turning until fried a nice brown. Can be eaten either hot or cold, but are rather rich hot—New York Commercial Advertiser. She was Not His Wife. The Master in Chambers has settled, so far as he is concerned, the dispute between the administrators of the late Joseph Leah and Miss Roddy, the young lady to whom Leah was engaged at the time of his death, by directing that the $1,000 in the hands of the Home Circle Society be paid to the ad- ministrator. It will be remembered that the benefit certificate was drawn up in favor of and payable to Leah's wife, but he died unmarried. Miss Roddy had the certificate and Leah had told the authorities of the order that the certificate was for her, and the name of wife was inserted, as he. ex- pected to be married- shortly. The master holds that the administrator is entitled to the money, no one being in existence who answers the description of wife. Miss Roddy will appeal from this decision. , - —A New Haven man has worn the same coat for 35 years. —The " 400 " in Paris, Mo., is composed mostly of Virginians. — What a young man who has a best girl wants is to hold his own. —England has 9,000 mounted yeomanry, costing 450,000 per year. —Whittier wrote his first published poem when he was 17 years old. — The municipal reapers aro hard at work.

The queee kept her bed • for six daft- The name given by the court to the disease, which from the details givei is easily recognizable as one of the same c ass as that.from which humanity has la v suffered, was " The new acquaintance."' Since that day the disease has often visited mankind, the latest violent outbreak havin occurred about forty years ago. During a this time singularly little see,ms to hav been learned about it. Nelesithstandin the great improvement which has take place in scientific observation and in statis tical facilities, the chief mysteries of th disease remain as much mysteries as ever The microbe, if it be a microbe that doe the mischief, is undiscovered, nor has th problem of the method of propagation bee luny solved: Upon the latter point, however, that o the method of propagation the recent officia report of the British Government present some important information. It is tru that the report, the chief points of whic are given in the Practiliongr„ mainly con cerns the epidemic of 1g89-90, and does no cov er that of the earlypart of the presen year, in which the Mortality was higher and in which the contagion was more rapi than in that of the year previous. But th method of propagation was no doubt muc the same in the two years, and the conelu sions which the repot t establishes will prob ably not be invalidated by later investiga tions. The enquiry was entrusted to Dr Franklin Parsons, who has sought informa tion in every quarter of the globe. The facts which the report has got to gether seem toshowthat the disease is carried by contagion from person to person and i not carried in the atmosphere.. This opieion is expressed very decidedly by Dr. Parsons and other experts and is deduced frotn a variety of facts: The general course of the disease has been, in the northern hernia - 'there, from east to west, and, therefore, in a direetion contrary to the prevailing sur- face winds. It has followed the lines of human intercourse,' striking the cities first and the provincial towns and rural districts later. It seems also to be pretty well estab- lished that thedisease does not travel faster than humanbeings or than letters can travel. The fact also that the disease has prevailed independently of weather or climate seems to point to the probability that it is not of atmospheric origin. It has appeared m all seatons, existing simultaneously in the northern and southern hemispheres—that is, at opposite seasons of the year. It has flourished under all kinds of conditions of heat and cold, dryness- and moisture, in Russia and in India, in Great Britain and in the dry air of Egypt. In Spain it was ushered in by a month of cold, dry weather, ,andin New York by the moistest and mad- e, est season on record. It is, of ' 'course, well known that the dis- ease as spread rapidly to the various members of households into which it has been introduced. It accords with the theory of infection, also, that the disease has usually attacked the persons liable to infection. Thus, husbands who go to town daily to business have been attacked be- fore their wives. It is claimed, further, that persons living out of the way of infec- tion have, as a rule, escaped influenza. The persons so favored would be deep-sea: fishermen, lighthouse keepers and the ike. Dr. Parsons has made many inquiries among these classes of persons and the replies have shown that they have usually been exempt. The fact that the disease has often broken out on shipboard in mid - ocean seems to point to a 'different ex- planation of its origin, but it is said that it, no case has it appeared upon a vessel which had been so long at sea -as to preclude the Possibility of the infection havng been brought from shore. Dr. 'Richard Sisley,, in his new book on "Epidemic Influenza, ' very strongly expresses the same view, that the disease is almost entirely propagated by infection. The British official report also discusses the question of the origin of the present outbreak, giving an account of the " fog fever " of 1885 in Australia, the dengue in the Levant and the antecedent horse dis: ease, and the Chinese floods of 1888 and 1889. It is pretty clear, however, that all that is known definitely of the history of the epidemic called the " grip " is that it, first broke out in the early summer of 1889 in Bokara, and in Russia in the autumn of the same year. With regard to infection from animals, it seems pretty clear that the disease may be communicated from animals to men and frotn men to animals. There appears to have been sbme epidemics of influenza among animals, particularly among dogs, in 1889 In the spring of the present year Dr. Sisley saw many cats suffering from influenza in Lem - don. He, however, made inquiries 'in the zoological gardens and learned that there had been no unusual mortality among ani- mals during the three epidemics of 1889, 1890 and 1891. There it a practical. sequel to the recognition 'of the contagious charac er of influenza. Dr. Sisley proposes that he notification of influenza should be made ompulsory by Parliament. The English ocal authorities already have the power to ecide upon the infectious character of any isease, and to apply to it the provisions of he Contagious Disease Act. But it is now proposed that influenza shell be classed by Parliament with diphtheria, smallpox and ther such maladies, and that the local uthorities be required to treat it in a sim• lar manner. —Nein York Times.

Among the -good zesolutions-that are-foria- ing in the minds of many people as the present year draws to a close, says the Boston Globe,' is the resolution to begin with 1892 and lay tip iiitiliahibg foil' a reitef day. A writer who has been strolling aroundew York gives some interesting fac among the old savings banks �I touching the power of mra money to accute- e New eel atistehe mottesteleut peudent Bend_ ntlr reliable paid oy savinge 'banks the depositors. The laborer is, after all, the heaviest capitalist in society, although ho does not manipulate the funds which 'he saves, like the capitalist proper single savings bank in New York has on deposit 7,191,052, mostly the savings a labor. That this is the case is indicated by the fact tbat it has 107,440 depositors. Compound interest is a powerful accumulator. Taking even the modest rate of 4 per cent. interest on de- posits, and probably no institution on earth could exist for a century paying comptund interest all the while, 11 any considerable number of depositors and their heirs should leave their deposits un touched. it is for this reason that savings banks prudently stipulate that no depositi left untouched for 20 years shall draw inter- est after that time. In this fact lies con- cealed a great lesson in self-denial. A man in Dutehess county, New York, upon the birth of his baby boy, went and put $100 in a New York savings bank, entailing princi- pal and interest until the child was 21. The bank book was lost and the matter almost forgotten until recently, when, upon prov- ing his claim, he received from the bank over $2 000. An old Irish woman recently went to the Bowery bank to drat, out $5 which she had placed on deposit 25 years ago, quite unconscious of the power of compound interest, and created a f 1 e h 12 12 h ; very amusing scene when the cashier in- sisted upon paying her $200. For the _ average laboring man' the task of saving ia •not an easy one. But every savings battle - that offers compound interest offers a square winning game to whoever has the nerve to practice self denial and keep any con- siderable sum undisturbed for a number 01 g years. t t c 1 d d 0 a a f 13 w h 12 RICE AT WEDDINGS. The Gauntlet the Bride and Groom Have to Bun.. I wish a few heavy swells would set their faces against the hideous rice scuffle de rigueuer at the close of wedding receptions. The custom of throwing rice at departing lovers comes to us from the East, where rice is a sign of plenty and prosperity. This emblematic idea is lost, and" instead of a few grains softly falle ing, we pelt and smother and bombard one bridea, with thorough brutality, -and finally the practice has degeperated into a senseleaS and unseemly fight. Formerly the , "going off," with -the pretty traveling toilet, tha handshakings, friendly speeches and fare- well kisses was a trying epilogue to a trying drama. Now this episode is a thing of the past. When the bride emerges, ready th start on life's journey, her heart must fan at the thought ,of the ordeal in, prospect. She says her principal adieus in private, for the guests, like ravening wolves, await 'her below. A serried phalanx blocks the halls„ lines the staircase and extends in masses to the door of the carriage. Flushed and excited faces are turned, toward the victims, and every strong right hand is clenched. The bridegroom, white, determined and awkward, joins his wife,, and they make a desperate rush. But it is of no avail. The upheaving hordes, cleat upon them ; the stinging grain is hurled in their smarting faces, trickles down their backs, gets into their mouths, and up their sleeves. Farewells are impossible, and me one gets a glimpse of the faultless costume evolved with such talent and time. With the imeinet of self-preservation, the bride defends herself. as hest she can, and the couple literally fight their way, breathless and dishevelled. With a supreme effort they gain the door, bolt like rabbits inth the brougham, and the couple, who have earned a little spoony peace, are forced to travel and make love with a pound of rice in the small of their backs. —London World. Scotsmen as Foreigners in England. In the eye of English law, a Scotsman, domiciled in England, is a foreigner. That is the decision of the Lord ChiefJustice and Mr. Justice Wright. Also, it appears from the judgment in Grant vs. Anderson that a Scotsman does not acquire a domicile in England by having a business representae tive and a warehouse in London: In effect, therefore, a Scotsman is, as one of the coun- sel in the d ase pointed out, even more of a foreigner in England than a Frenchman is, sisters he has more protection against being' sued outside the Jurisdiction of his own courts.
