A NEW ASPECT OF liEATH.
Charleston News and Courier.
Borne three or four months ago, there
died in Philadelphia the Rev. Dr. H. C.
Trumbull, who had been for nearly
thirty years the editor of the "Sunday
School Times." In all outward appear
ance there was little to distinguish his
funeral from those who are talcing
place every day; but that which made
it different from other occasions of the
kind was the conduct of those who
were present at the last services. In
describing it the Philadelphia Press re
marked editorially: "It is common to
say of an affecting occasion that 'there
was hardly a dry eye in the house.' In
this case the stereotyped phrase could
be changed to 'there was hardly a wet
eye in the house.' It was almost a
tearless funeral; not that Dr. Trumbull
was not loved, or that he will not be
deeply missed; few men had. won more
ardent affection than he, or made for
themselves a place in the lives of more
people. But the real greatness of this
departed man revealed itself in that
instinctive thought of all those at his
bier was one of rejoicing over his brave,
tender, fruitful life. He died a victor,
vindicating in the end of his career the
truths that he taught throughout its
length. Intense love facing a coffin
with jubilation in its heart, is nothing
less than a triumph of religion. The
eloquent lips of Dr. Trumbull in life
tlever preached a greater sermon than
was preached yesterday by his silent'
form."
Not more than a year snd a half ago,
an almost similar scene was witnessed
here at the funeral of a beloved minis
ter who had been a great sufferer from
a painful disease for some years before
his death. By his own desire the
whole service and the hymns sung on
the occasion contained nothing that
could give an impression of gloom and
sadness; everything expressed the f ul
ness of faith in the promises of Qod,
and the rejoicing of a pure spirit at its
release from suffering and at being at
last permitted to enter the presence of
its Saviour. There was, of course, the
deep ifrief of near relatives for the loss
of his beloved presence, and a feeling
01 loneliness in tne Hearts 01 tne con
gregation to whom he had so faithfully
ministered for many years; but above
all this the predominant note of the
service was that of joy and perfect
peace. The remarkable thing about
these two occasions was, that they were
so exceptional in character ; and yet, if
we sincerely feel that we profess to be
lieve, joy rather than grief should char
acterize many another funeral; whether
it be that of the aged Christian, wboee
life bas been a long period of consis
tent, loving service, or of the laborer in
the Lord's harvest, who rests upon his
sheaves, although bis work euded
while his life's sun was still high in the
heavens; or of a young person who bas
been called away before "the contagion
of the world's slow stain" has suited
the purity of the soul. The more beau
tiful, useful and perfect the life has
been, the more should we rejoice when
it is transferred from earth to that bet
ter world above.
While it is btikiatural that human
hearts should mourn the separation
from those they love, we cannot help
believing that another great element
in our grief is the vagueness of our
knowledge, and the weakness of our
faith concerning the life immortal. An
evidence of this is found in the eager
ness with which persons wh have re
cently gone through the deep waters
of affliction seize upon every word
which tends to confirm their hope of
meeting the lost friend again in a bet
ter world. To such as these a book
recently published by a well known
northern minister, setting forth the
reasonableness of our belief in the doc
trine of immortality should be a com
fort. He begins by saying that this
belief is not basad solely in science, nor j
in philosophy or in religion; but in all
three of these together. "It is a mis
take to stake the whole question on
any. one c these depqttments, exclu
sively, as all three are but co-ordinate
parts of truth, and one's nature craves
different confirmation in different
moods, at times seeking to satisfy the
intellect, at other times the heart, and
still, at other times, the conscience."
He then goes on to show the impoesi-
bility of proving that the soul is im
mortal through physical science, and
that the most we can do is to satisfy
qurselves with the fact that physical
science cannot disprove it, so that the
question is atiil open for investigation
by scientists. But, at the same time,
we have the consolation of knowing
that many other things of which we
have not the slightest doubt "such as
God, the soul, the moral sense, the
affections, the beautiful, the true and
t':ie good" cannot be proved by
science.
Tbe Coat of Conaumptlorf.
"One of three of the deaths between
the ages of twenty-five and thirty-four
rears is due to consumption; one in
four between the ages of thirty five and
forty-four," says Eugene Wood in
Everybody's Magazine for May. "These
are the years wherein a worker is at his
best, when he repays to the community
what it has spent upon him in his nur
ture and upbringing. Count it as you
would count an investment. The aver
age man's earnings in the working pe
riod of his life are about $12,600. The
average earnings of a consumptive,
taking into the calculation the short
period when he earns full wages, the
period when he can work only part of
the time 'at what light tasks be can
find, and the still longer period when
all that he can do is gasp for breath, a
burden to his family, and more than
burden, a menace the average earn
ings of a man that dies of consumption
are no more than 14,075, a loss of 18,
525 on every man. By and large the
land we live in loses just so much on
every one that dies of this great plague
for I holcf that a woman is of equal
worth with a man. It is she that keeps
the home. It is estimates that in the
United States 160,000 die every year
of this disease along. Leaving out of
the calculation all that it costs for
medicines and nursing, counting only
the Joss of wages, we are out more than
a billion and a third of dollars every
year by the Great White Plague."
Plague of Haia.
Stermno, 111., April 80. Millions of
rata have suddenly made their appear
ance in Mercer, Rock Island and a por
tion of Wbitesile counties and are do
ing great damage to stock and grain
The rats attack bogs, biting them and
tearing their flesh, bringing on blood
poisoning. Hundreds of hogs have
been killed in this manner. The rats
aho kill pigs outright and endeavor to
eat them. Poison has been used and cats
by the hundreds have been imported
into the counties, but there is no abate
ment to tne plague. I he farmers are
greatly worried over the situation.
Big Rata Atiark Farmer.
Curtis Detter, a farmer of East Berlin,
Pa., had a narrow escape from death
in a desperate battle with barn rata
few days since.
He was engaged in tearing up the
floor in the entry of the barn, when h
unearthed a nest of large rats. The
animals attacked him. He succeeded in
killing about a dozen of the rats, but so
severely was he Kitten that it was with
difficulty he suweeded in making bis
way from the barn. Friends found
bim in an unconscious condition,
almost dead from loss of blood.

A Rochester
Band Beta
KeadT for
tbe millennium
un. .
New TorhHun.
Firm in the conviction that within a
year, or so Christ will again visit the
world, a band calling itself the Society of
unnstian rtretnrap nas reoeniyr uiaen
up its abode in Rochester, there to work
and watch and pray for the millen
nium.
There are seventy-two persons in tbe
band, comprising thirty-one families.
The Christian Brethren have been work
ing in the south .and west for several
years, although not very much has been
known about them in the east.
The originator and leader of the
Christian Brethren faith is Capt. J.. T
Nichols, who was born in Indiana in
1S44. He makes no pretence to divine
inspiration. He is tall and slender, and
has a kindly face, with a surprisingly
high forehead.
The brethren have not started their
campaign in Rochester yet. They are
waiting for the spring. Then they will
begin work. They propose to go up
and down the canal, from one end of
he State to the other, and sound the
warning to the people. New York city
will be visited, although Capt. Nichols
Beems to be a little timid about advanc
ing on wicked Gotham after the hippo
drome performance of Elijah Dowie.
Carpenters, masons, bricklayers and
other tradesmen are included in the
band, and they, will erect the buildings
needed for their accommodation. That
the brethren have money is shown by
the tact that they paid $7,000 for the
land and assumed a $4,500 mortgage.
The society is not organized on the
communistic principle. It said that
there is nothing in common among
them except ideas and religious work.
Each man has his own projierty and
his own bank account, earns his own
living and is obliged to rely upon him
self for a livelihood. Each family has
a room entirely to itself, and as far as
possible each family has a cook stove
and a complete housekeeping estab
lishment of its own.
The society has strict rules concern
ing the manner in which its members
shall live. They may not use in any
form tea, coffee, lard, pork, pie, cake,
tobacco or liquor. Some of these
things are forbidden because they are
considered unhealthful, others because
they are luxuries and others because
they are sinful.
They kill their own beef and mutton
and dress it, beeause they say that then
they know it is clean. They never buy
meat at a market.
The exact date of the beginning of
the millennium is put at 1941. They
say that it will take Christ forty years
to subdue the rebellious and wicked
kingdoms of the earth, so that accord
ing to their calculations the Ixrd
now apparently over due.
But Capt. Nichols has discovered that
in reality the world is now living in
1897 and that the present calendar
seven years ahead of the true date. He
therefore says that the millennium will
begin in 1043 by the present calendar,
although 1918 will in reality be only
the year 1941.
Capt. Nichols establishes the date of
the millennium by the Bible. In the
first place, the words-of the Bible, "A
day with the Lord is as a thousand
years, are pointed out. Ine next re-
ference is made to the commandment,
Six days shalt thou labor, and the
seventh," etc.
The millennium, argue the Christian
Brethren, is to come with the first Sun
day on'God's calendar after His crea
tion of man. The problem, then, is to
figure out the exact time that has
elapsed since the creation of man to
tbe present day.
Capt. Nichols hs taaen the account
of "Abraham begat Isaac" straight
down through the whole narrative. He
has figured ouj tbe time that has
elapsed from the statement made of
the duration of the lives of these men.

EXTRACTS PROM OEM. GOBUON'S
GREAT SPEECH. "
Sunny South.
This extract from General John B.
Gordon's great lecture on'yThe Last
Days of the Confederacy" is character
istic of the eloquence which has
charmed enthusiastic multitudes in both
sections of the country and the tribute
which the soldier-statesman pays to
General Lee is in every respect worthy
of l)is illustrious chieftain:
"There stood Lee as a mark of .re
spect to Grant in his best uniform,
unbent by misfortune, sustaining by
his example the spirits of his defeated
comrades and illustrating in his calm
and lofty bearing the noble adage
which he afterwards announced that
'human virtue should be equal to hu
man calamity.' I had him seen before in
defeat as well as in the hour of triumph
with the exultant shouts of his victo
rious legions ringing in his ears. I was
familiar with the spirit of self-abnegation
with which he had severed bis al
legiance to the general government and
resolved like old John Adams, that,
'sink or swim, live or die, survive or
perish,' he would cast his fortunes with
those of bis people. I had learned long
and intimate association with him that
unlike Ceasar and Alexander and Bon
aparte, tne goal of bis ambition was
not glory, but duty, and duty only;
that it was true of him as ol few men
who have ever lived that distance in
his case did not lend enchantment, and
that the nearer he was approached the
greater and grander he grew. And
now, self-poised and modest, bearing
on bis heart a mountain load of woe,
with the light of an unclouded con
ecience upon his majestic brow, with
an innate dignity and nobility of spirit
rarely equaled and never excelled, this
central figure of the confederate cause
rose in this hour of supremest trial to
the acme of the morally sublime."
Another paragraph from this same
address voices General Gordon's elo
quent tribute to the private soldier's on
both sides of the struggle:
"My countrymen I must be par-
doned for snyiog that when I recall the
uncompromising spirit, the unbought
and poorly paid patriotism of those
grand men, the Auierican volunteers,
who had no hopes of personal honors,
no stripes on their coats, nor stars on
their collars, who wore the knajisacks,
trudged in the mud, leaving the im
print of their feet in their own blood
on Virginia's snows; when I recall those
men who stood in the fore-front of the
battle, fired the muskets, won the vie-
lories and made the generals, I would
gladly write their names in characters
of blazing stars that could never grow
dim .... My brother Americans, all
the ages have claimed chivalry . and
courage; but I stand here tonight with
the fear of God upon me, measuring
my every word, and throw down the
challenge to all history: I challenge
the proud phalanxes of Cyrus and Alex
ander, the Tenth Legion of Caesar, the
Old Guard of Napoleon or the heroic
Highlanders of Scotland to furnish a
parallel to that heroism, devotion and
self-sacrifice exhibited by those Ameri
can boys in blue and gray from 18GJ. to
1865."
Can Leprosy Re Cared
Charlotte Observer. .
In a lecture delivered at New Orleans
Saturday, Dr. Isadora Dyer, physician
of the Lepers' Home of Louisiana, and
probably the most distinguished expert
on this disease in this country, after
saying that there were 3,000,000 lepers
in existence or one to every 500 living
persons announced that in the last
two years the problem of curing this
dread disease had been solved. In ten
years, Dr. Dyer said that he and his
assistants bad succeeded in removing
every trace of the disease in twelve
lepers. In the pait two years, since
latter part of 1902, every case at tne
Louisiana Leper Home, except those in
the very last stages of the disease, had
been improved materially, and in three
cases tbe lepers are almost well, and
it will be possible to discharge them
within a comparatively short time
Thus it seems that modern science is
about to overcome one of the most re-
pulaiv afflictions knoftn to humanrtv,
ana one that has always carried with it
the incurable stamp. Such a triumph
ot medical skill gives hope that ere
long the disease of tuberculosis may be
successfully mastered. Many discov
eries in regard to it have been made,
and doubtless nuniemi lives pri
longed, but it is still popularly regarded
as the wont enemy to mankind.
One of the greatest blearing a modest

HOJIE WEATHER WINDOW.
St. Louis ilaaiublio.
For once the government has tesued
La bulletin that is interesting reading
and upon the most tiresome of subjects
the weather. It is issued by the de
partment of agriculture and its author
is l-.uward a. Grnott, professor of
meteorology It "is made interesting
by quotations from Pliny, the Bible,
Indian legends and folklore.
The bulletin says that the wenther o'
the world is governed by different con
ditions, but in-this country, generallj
speaking, a steady south to east wind
will bring rain within 3(3 hours. T
tell whether it is a rain cloud the pro
fessor quotes from Lukexii, 54: "Wher
ye see a cloud rise out of the west
straightway ye say there cometh s
shower; and so it is." Birds fly'high
when the barometer is high, and low
when the barometer is low, hence the
frequently misquoted prediction:
"Everything is lovely and the goofr
honks high." Before rain tobacco be
comes moist, salt increases its weight,
cordage tightens, flies sting, doors and
windows become hard to shut, red hair
urls, lamp wicks crackle, candies burn
dim and soot falls down.
Cuts are weather prophets. When a
cat washes herself good weather can be
expected, and bad weather when she
licks her coat against the grain or
washes herself over the ears or sits with
tier tan to tne tire, "it the cock goes
crowing to be bed, he'll certainly rise
with a watery head," is another quota
tion. When fish bite readily and swim
near the surface rain may be expected
with certainty; The lioe is never c auglit
in a shower, and the professor quotes :
'When hees to distance wing tholr flight
Days are warm and skies are bright;
Ilut when their flight ends nt-ar at home
Stormy weather Is sure to come."
Plants, says this expert, are subject
to weather conditions and are safe
prophets. The odor of llowers is strong
est before a shower, Cottonwood and
aspen trees turn up their leaves before
rain and those of the sugar maple turn
down. A Zuni proverb is: 'When
the sun sets unhappily then will the
morning be angry with wind, storm
and sand." If the sun before setting
appearB diffuse and of a lirillKnt white
it foretells a storm, but if it sets in
sky slightly purple, the atmosphere
near the zenith being of a blight blue
we may rely on fair weather. This
real weather wisdom.
