SCIENCE AHD AFTER LIFE. Coneervatloa mt Energy Demands Coattaaaaee af Semi. Dr, Gullie, of Michigan University. Our life is a constant growth of the human intellect, closely connectea with the development of the 'body. But we know that there la a continu- . . . - 1 1 M ! ous mtercnange oi ceiis, urcuyiug and forming, and yet, though the living tissues may In the course of time be entirely renewed, the individ ual continues to exist; it remains one and the same. But even the matter and energy which have been given off from the living body have not dis appeared; they are stillin existence, though disconnected from the Jife- giving principle. Should we not de mand that there should be a similar conservation for the invisible part of our life? I have not the power to describe what the life after death is; the intellect will not tell as. While I have to content myself with the assertion that mind la as in destructible as matter and energy, my firm belief in evolution and In an orderly plan of the universe leads me to doubt that there can be any retro gression in its "development. I be lieve my spirit will after death be more advanced in all its characteris tics of the human soul. - And thus I find no difficulty what ever in believing in a personality em bracing the whole universe and inti mately blended with the marveious ly intricate system of material bod ies, a personality different from ours, it is true, but since l form a part or it, one of the same nature as my own, only grander, wiser, more powerful and more just. In conclusion, let me say that the views here advanced were hot obtain ed by adherence to any theological or philosophical dogma, but were the result of a purely sclentmc searcn al ter a word picture which would sat isfy not only the intellect, but the hu man soul.

CURED BY TWO SETS OF CUTICURA REMEDIES Many people have tried so many remedies for eczema without being materially benefitted that they have come to the conclusion that there is no cure for this most distressing dis ease. That this conclusion is erroneous, and that Hobson's Eczema Ointment will effect a cure is shown by the following unsolicited testimonial of Mr. Venable Wilson,, who for many years was a citizen 'of Wades boro.. Mr. Wilson says: ; ' : "This is to certify that for nine years I suffered with eczema, and during that time tried numerous so called specfics for it, but without effect.

I went to see a great many pfaymicians, a matter which cost me a fortune, and after I notiosd that I did not get any relief that way, I went for three years to the hospital. But they were unable to help me there. I used all the medicines that I could see but became worse and worse. I had an in flammation which made me almost craey with pain. When I showed my foot to my friends they would get really fright ened. I did not know what to do. s I was so sick and had become so nervous that I positively lost all hope. "I had seen the advertisement of the tCuticura Remedies a sreat many times but could not make up my mind to buy them, fori had already used so many medicines. Finally I did decide to use the Cuticura Remedies and I tell you 'that I was never so pleased as when I - noticed that, after having used two set of Cuticum Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the entire inflamma tion had gone.

Last Tuesday afternoon about 3:10 o'clock a tremendona explosion waa heard, the concussion Bhaklng the largest buildings of the city and shat tering many window lights all over the city. Hiram Alexander, colored, was burning brush in a field a short dis tance from the powder magazine of the Yorke & Wadsworth Co., one and a half miles south of the city, and the grass caught fire In the old field and soon got beyond his control. The grass and brush being very dry, the flames soon swept down to the powder bouse. Onlya few people re alized the danger and they were pow erless to prevent the explosion which soon occurred. It was first reported that the boil er at the Cabarrus mill bad exploded and excitement ran high. In a few moments the streets were thronged with people, crowds flocking out of stores, offices, workshops and resi dences, to make their way to the mill to view the wreck of the disaster. In a short time the cause of the explo sion was determined and as the news spread over the city that it was not the boiler at the mill the people brathed a sigh of relief. Crowds hurried to the scene in car riages, automobiles, on horseback and on foot, and in a short time the whole hillside was covered with a multitude of people. The road lead ing out by the depot was lined with people and crowds were swarming out every street leading out of the city in that direction. It looked as If the inhabitants of the city were fleeing from nome terrible disaster. The powder house was constructed of brick and calvanized iron and when the explosion came small frag ments of these materials were scat tered in every dir. ction. It appear ed for a time as if it was raining small particles of. brick and sand, the depot, Cabarrus mill and other houses I near , being covered with small atoms. . Mr. W. H. Heglar, rural mail car rier on route 6, was passing the house a few seconds before the explosion. He was warned by Boms one of the danger and it is said that he broke theBpeed records of "Uncle Sam's fast est mail train. A numer of negroes on Silver Hill thought the tail of Halley's comet had struck the earth.

" TO BLOW UP LEE STATUE. Youth's Companion. Under tha rule of the Puritans in former days, pleasure was frowned upon as a snare of evil, and the world was called upon to eschew it under pain of spiritual condemnation. To day the Puritans have passed, but another band of mentors has arisen, still warning the nations against many things, but this time under threat of temporal punishment. These are the preachers of sanita tion and preventive medicine, who would nave men walk the narrow path of hygienic righteousness. These are even harder masters than their spiritual forbears, for they will not let us be dirty, they will not let us eat too much, they will not let us live in stuffy houses, with doors and win dows doubly sealed against a trickle of fresh air. and now they are even lifting their voices against the world- old custom of kissing. The worst of it is, they are right, at least in a general way; for kissing, in its modern promiscuity, is pernic ious, and should be condemned as dangerous. The custom probably had its origin not in affection, but in suspicion. In primitive times, when the' sense of smell was perhaps more acute than that of sight, bringing the faces to gether was a means of Identification, and distinguishing friend from foe. We have now other better developed senses, psychic and physical, which tell us of friendship, and kissing has become a mark of affection rather than a test of it. It is not against this that the by glenist the sensible one protests, but against the meaningless and dan gerou3 habit of pecking at the lips of every one, especially of the defence' less infant It is really an affront for a stranger, or even an. ordinary ac quaintance, to kiss a baby on the lips, and the act should be resented. . Kissing among members of the family is bygienically permissible, fortunately. It is, of course, through the transmission of bacteria that kiss ing Is harmful. But each family has its own domesticated bacteria, as it were, of the same species as those in habiting other people, but somewhat by constant interchange. Against these each member of the family in measure is immune. They are like an ill-natured pet dog that respects the members of the familv with r which he lives, and will not bite them, but snaps and snarls at stran gers. ivissmg snouia, therefore, ne a tamiiy greeting; tor Btangers or ordinary friends the hand shake suf fices. Above all the baby's lips should be sacred.

"It's astonishing,' the old settler in the little town was saying, "how real estate has advanced in this town since I came here, away back in the sixties. The corner lot this building is on, for instance, sold once for four hundred and fifty dollars." What Is it worth now?" asked the stranger. "Five thousand." "Well, you baa a chance to get rich by investing in land yourself. I eoppose you bought some real estate?" - 44 Yes, I bought one lot just one." "That has Increased in valus, hasn't it?" "Yes; over six hundred per cent" "That was a good Investment." "Not so awfully good, mister," said the old settler, goomily. "I paid ten dollars for It, and it's worth seventy-five now, but it's in the cem etery. The way I figure It, I've lost a heap of money by not dying forty years ago." That la tha Plet Repertetl Aaasj-aseme- f frm New Vark.. Washington, April 13. Warning waa received in Washington today ot a plot formed in New York to blow up with dynamite the statue of Gen. llobt. E. Lee, placed in statuary hall at the United States Capitol by the State of Virginia. The staue repre sents General Lee in the Confederate uniform in which he served. There have been protests from some Grand Army of the Republic and other Un ion organizations against the statue, and Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, has made several speeches protesting against its presence. Secret service men and the Capitol and Washington police were at once notified of the letter, which purport ed to have been written by a man who overheard the discussion of the details of the plot in a saloon in Cort land t, street New York. The police were not disposed to regard the threat seriously. Signing himself "A Law-Abiding Citizen of New York," the writer of the letter stated that he overheard the conversation in the saloon, where six or eight men were discussing the matter. Four of the men were to go to Washington to blow up the statue, according to their plans. They were to get $200 each and their expenses, they said. "I warn you for fear Mme inno cent person may be killal," says the letter, which gives as a reason for further lack of details that the in formant was about to take a train for Chicago to see his mother, who is ill." General Lee's statue has never been accepted by Congress; though this is not necessary. The 6tatue was placed in Statuary Hall by the Lee Statute Commission, which later met and de cided not to press for its formal ac ceptance. Its presence has been dis cussed informally by Congress, and Senator Heyburn made a long speech in the Senate upon it, in, which he stirred the Southerners to a point which made it difficult for their lead ers to restrain them. A few Grand Army of the Republic men resent the placing of the Confederate uniform there, and Senators and Representa tives have done all in their power to avoid arousing sectional feeling. In his farewell speech Sena tor Gordon, of Mississippi, deplored the agitation, invited Senator Hey burn to Mississippi that he might overcome his prejudice and eulogized the Confederate General. When he finished Senator Heyburn went over to shake hands with the Southerner. Resolutions were received in the Senate today, through Senator Lodge, from the Department of Massachu setts, Grand Army of tha Republic, adopted in Faneull Hall, protesting against the acceptance of the statue. They were, in part: "Vherea8, while we may honor the purity of his character, his mili tary ability, his devotion to a cause that he assumed to be right, and his promptness in accepting the issues of the war, we believe that this presen tation on the part of Virginia vwas ill-advied, leading naturally and in evitably to a revival of the buried animosities of the war; and, 44 Whereas, we would grant that the placing of cuch a statue in the Capitol at Richmond" or anywhere within the borders of the State that he loved and honored more than he loved and honored the nation that he sought to destroy would be natural and defensible; and, "Whereas, a nation's memorial should be national and not sectional, conservative and not destructive, giving the world, and especially the rising generation of Americans and to generations yet unborn, not dis torted views of history, the views of a faction, but rather the generally ac cepted sentiments of all genuine Americans, North and South, East and Wt st; therefore, be it "Resolved, That the Department of Massachusetts, Grand Army of the Republic, in convention assem bled, most courteously and earnestly requests the state of Virginia to with draw this statue from from the Fed eral Capitol, and most respectfully pe titions the Congress of the- Uni States to remove the same, if the moval should not be ordered by the donors of the statue."

There are few more subtle refine ments of law than that which makes of the corporation "Ad artificial be ing, invisible, intangible, and exist ing only In contemplation of law." In a case decided recently in West Virginia, the defendant bad sold the plaintiff a small bulldlng-lot, one of a group which he owned. The sale had been made with a stipulation that no land In the division should be sold to a colored person, so the buyer was highly incensed when shortly af terward the remaining lots were all sold to a corporation made up en tirely of negroes. A suit for breach of condition was brought Immediately, but the de fendant justified his action on the ground that the land had not been sold to a colored person, but to a corporation. His opponent, however, replied I AN INDIAN MEDICINE WHEEL. Leeile.s Weekly. An interesting relic of a prehistoric people has just been discoveaed in the Big Horn Mountains, in Wyoming, by mining prospectors. It is known as the "medicine wheel," i3 looked upon by the Indians as sacred, and is held In veneration by all the tribes of the central mountainous country. The "medicine wheel" is a giant stone wheel built on tne flat top of Medicine Mountain. Laid out sym metrically, it is built of great granite boulders placed so as to form a per fect wheel, with spokes 150 feet long. At the centre is a great rocky hub. For a long time the whites have known that somewhere on Medicine Mountain the Indians had a sacrcd altar of some kind, but it has been guarded so zealously that no white man ever knew the- character or the ,ru ".u.JJ"'3L.w.r """U, location of the place.

A doctor's first question when con sulted by a patient is, "Are your bowels regular?" He knows 98 per cent of Illness is attended with inact ive bowels and torpid liver. The con dition poisons the system with waste matter and causes accumulation of gasses which must be removed through the bowels before health can be restored. Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics may be truly likened to dynamite Through their harsh, irritating ac tion they force a passage through the bowels, causing pain and damage to the delicate intestinal structure which weakens the whole system, and at best only produces temporary relief. The repeated use of such treatments causes chronic irritation of the stom ach and bowels, dries and hardens their tissues, deadens their nerves, stiffens their muscles and generally brings about an injurious habit which somttimes has almost, if not fatal re sults.

The identity of the builders of the 'medicine wheel" is as unknown to the Indians as to the whites. The only tradition possessed by the In dians concerning the wbeel is that it was built by the gods themselves and s to remain a sacred object to the end of the world. Medicine Mountain was so named by the Indians for the reason that it was to its rocky slopes that the Indians went for the "medi cine" or charm wtich wa3 to pro tect them through lite. It has long been known among the Indians as the home of the Great Spirit, and for generations these Indians have camped around the great wheel while engaged in the mystic rites and cere monies of making Indian ''medi cine."
