about the decline of eloquence in the
United States Senate and House of

speakers has not really passed.
Senator Hoar's great ani-expan-'sion

If the battle of today go against it, I

Mr. Charles Dudley .Warner, presi
dent of the Social Science Association,
which. was in session in Washington
last week, and whom the Norfolk
Landmark regards as one of the moat
gifted American men of letters, said
oi the race conditions :
"We face a grave national situation.
It cannot be successfully dealt with
ssntimentally. It should be faced
with knowledge and candor. We must
admit our mistakes, both social and
political, and set about the solution ol
our problem with intelligent resolu
tion and a large charity. It is not
bimply a Southern question. It is a
Northern question as veil. For the
truth of this I have only to appeal to
the Northern communities in any
considerable numbers."
With regard to the effect of the
franchise upon the colored population,
the distinguished speaker was no lass
reasonable in his opinions. Touching
upon the conditions that followed the
gift of the ballot to the negro ar. the
close oi the Civil War, Mr. Warner
said :
"ibis sudden transition and shifting
of power was resented at the South,
resisted at first, and finally it has been
general! y evaded. This was due to a
variety of reasons o.r prejudices, not
all of them creditable to a generous
desire for the universal elevation of
mankind, but one of them the histor
ian will judge adquate to produce the
result. Indeed it. might have been
foreseen from . the beginning. This
reconstruction measure was an at
tempt to put the superior part of the
community under the control of the
interior, these-parts separated by all
the prejudices of race, and by traditions
of mastership on one Fide and of ser
vitude on the other. I venture to say
that it was an experiment that would
iiave failed in any community in the

Everyday strengthens the belief of emi
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of onr diseases.
Twenty-fire years ago this theory was used
as a. basis for the formula of Browns' Iron

by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.

THE BIBLE NEGLECTED.
WHY SUCH IGNORANCE?
Family Prayers are Left Off.
Atlanta Journal.
.Is the Bible read less by the people
of this country than it formerly was?
This question would be answered in
the affirmative by most persons who
have investigated the subject.
Rev. D. C. F. Thwing, lu the last
nmber of the Century Magazine, has
an article which indicates an amazing
ignorance of the Bible among the ris
ing generation, even that part of it
which enjoys the "be3t educational ad
vantages. Dr. Thwing gives the result of a
test examination as to the Bible know
ledge of the boys in the Ohio univer
sity and girls in the eastern colleges.
Twenty-two passages containing sim
ple Bible allusions were selected from
Tennyson's poems and a freshman class
of 34 men and a like class of 51 women
were asked to explain them. The men,
were from northern Ohio, central New
York and western Pennsylvania ; the
women from New England. They
were representatives of families in the
enjoyment of average incomes and had ;
had opportunities above the average.
With one exception all had ecclesiasti
cal connections. Yet the men answer
ed but 43 per cent of the questions cor- j
rectly and the women but 49 per cent.
Only one-a young woman-answered all
the questions correctly.
Of the 85 students only 20 knew any j
thing about the "crown of thorns ;"
40 knew nothing about Cain, Esau,
Ruth or Joseph of Arimathea ; 30 could
not explain a simple allusion to the
striking ot the rock for water and an
equal number were ignorant of Jacob's
wrestling with the angel. As many as
75 "gave it up" when asked to explain
an allusion to Hezek'ah.
The girls did a little better than the
boys, but they were still wofully ignor
ant of some of the best known charac
ters and stories of the Bible.
Dr. Thwing considers the young peo
ple whom he examined fairly represen
tative of their generation so for as their
Bible knowledge is concerned.
Why is there less knowledge of the
Bible among the people than there
once was ?
Dr. Thwing cays :
"The world has become a world of
boots, a world of magazines and a
world of newspapers."
Many persons under 60 years of age
can recall a time when the Bible, "Pil
grim's Progress" and Fox's "Christain
Martyrs" constituted 50 percent, of the
family library.
The decline of family prayers is one
of the chief reasons for the present ig
norance of the Bible among the young,'
and the Sunday school has not taken
the place of home instruction in the
Bible.

CATARRH CAN BE CURED BY
Johnston's Sarsaparilla
QUART BOTTLES.
"DANGER IN THE EARTH AND AIR; DANGER EVERYWHERE.'
i A Wise and Venerable Doctor Talks about Advanced Science.
In a leading. hotel, in a great city, a famous and aged physician was conver.
fng. Listening to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group of well
dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men and commei-cial travelers.
My firm belief, is " that medical science is certain yet to show that all dis
eases without exception are caused by invisible germs which areliving organ
isms. Here is the germ of that terrible disease diphtheria. Here is the bacillus
of typhoid fever; and here is the still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which
causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption. This of that very
common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh."
"I wish, Doctor," said the traveling man, "that you would tell ns about
catarrh. I have had it for years, and I am thoroughly discouraged.'
The Doctor answered. "Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid
fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood
and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and most disgusting
disease is especially prevalent in the United States and it is rare to meet one
who is not, or has not been troubled more or less with it. How often is he or
she obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves
of may intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca
tarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome both to
himself and his friends.
"I believe," continued this great physician, "that the true way to heal ca
tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by powerful alteratives
which act as blood purifiers." '.''
Betsy A. Marett, of Manistee, Manistee Co., Mich., writes:
Dear Sirs : For ten years I was a sufferer from general debility and chronic
catarrh. My face was pale as death. I was weak and short of breath. I could
hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My
hands and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up
in the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again. I had
awful pains in the small of my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredness.
My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn't go half a dozen
steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to have
a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doc
tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given up all hope of ever get
ting well. I tried the best physicians in the state, but failed to g;ct any relief,.
My husband got me a bottle of Johnston's Sarsaparilla. I took it, and then I
bought another. When these had been used, I was somewhat improved in
health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger; my sleep was re
freshing, and it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. I
kept on taking it, and now consider myself a well and rugged woman. I work
all the time, and am happy. I am positive that the Sarsaparilla saved my life.
The sick headaches I have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my ca
tarrh has almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston's
Sarsaparilla has done for me. I recommend all women who have sick head
aches to use your Sarsaparilla. - -

"Would you tane ihe last cent, a ni:n

"I call to witness, gentlemen," said
Beau, and reaching into his pocket he
