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. Wildest Sought Entrance. Mrs. William Clow. living at a lum ber camp near Cedar, Mich., recently had an experience with a wildcat that she does not care to have repeated, Her husband was away from home on business and she was awakened during the nizlit br the screams of the animal. which was tryioglo break through the doors, railing to effect an entrance by that way it climbed to the roof, and for several hours made desperate efforts to tear the boards off and get into the room. It was nearly morning before the frensled beast went away.4 rare Hla mother ot Rheamatlem "My mother ha&been a sufferer for many years with rheumatism," says W. If; Howard, of Husband, Pa.

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. Parous Ksiorko Down l'onih.

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 man can wish for is a good, reliable sot of bowels. If yoa are not the happy possessor of snchn oatfltyon can greatly improve the efficiency of those yon have by the jndicions use of Cham berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.

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. noean't Henpei-t Old Ase, It's shameful when youth fails toshow proper respect for old aire, but just the contrary iu the case of Dr. King's New L,iie nils, iney cut on maladies no matter how severe aud irrespective of old aire.
