HAVE WE NEIGHBORS ANY MORE?
What I most deplore in our modern
social life is a lack of the old-time
neighborliness. I remember well,
when the people in a little town were
almost like one family. If sickness
or trouble came to one home, there
were sympathizing neighbors to come
in with cheer and help. They would
quietly set the kitchen in order and
look after the children. They would
bring soups and home-made light bread
and nicely fried chicken; and relieve
the members of the family by minis
tering in the sick room.
Now, the doctors put their veto on
every one calling at a patient’s home.
No one must go in but the doctor and
the trained nurse. Neighbors lose in
terest and sympathy, often there is
hardly any notice taken of the friend’s
illness, until death is announced and
flowers are sent to deck the bier of
any one who maybe longed for them
in vain while he or she lay in bed
with only the hired nurse to perform
the little services that loving hands
would have liked to render.
These thoughts have come to me,
while I have been going about looking
after loved ones who are ill. All, lam
thankful to know, are better, except
my brother. His recovery is very
slow.
Another of the old time conditions
is passing away—the simple, con
tented life on the farm. Greed and
fashion, the desire to outshine, has
spread from the cities to the farms.
Old time simplicity and sociability
have gven place to artificial manners
and a rivalry among neighbors. Forty
or fifty years ago, the life of the coun
try people was sweet and simple and
contented. People worked bard, but
they had their relaxations, their social
visiting, picnics, camp meetings and
barbecues, their helpful acts and hear
ty charities, their undoubting Chris
tian faith and the love and tender re
gard of their children.
This is all changed. Maybe the
change will be for the best when
things are all settled and the transi
tion time is over. Maybe there will
open up a larger, more intellectual
and useful life for the dwellers in the
country. That this will come to pass
is the sincere prayer of
THE OLD WOMAN.

SCIENCE OR MIRACLE?
Dear Mother Meb:
Mr. H. M. Hower, is an engineer,
and the ideas he advances must be
both practical and scientific. Every
one knows more or less of musical vi
brations, over-tones, etc., from a' theo
retical standpoint; but these engineers
put their knowledge to a practical use
By tapping a rail they can tell from
the pitch, or timbre, or volume of
sound, whether or not it has any hid
den defects. Now, Mr. Hower, be
fore an audience of practical, scien
tific, twentieth century men, suggests
applying this test to an entire struc
ture. It will come as a novel idea to
the majority of us that sky-scrapers
have a key note. Yet, Mr. Hower

MIGHT BE DEAD TODAY.
Garden City, Kan. —In a letter from
Mrs. James Hamner, of this city, she
says, “I firmly believe that I would
not be alieve today, if it were not for
Cardui. I had been a sufferer from
womanly troubles all my life, until I
found that great remedy. I feel that
I can’t praise it too highly.” Are you
a woman, suffering from some of the
troubles, to which a woman is pecu
liarly liable? If so, why not try Car
dui, the woman’s tonic? You can rely
on Cardui. It is purely vegetable,
perfectly harmless, and acts gently
but surely, without bad after-effects.
’Twill help you. Ask your druggist,
says they have, and that each building
will give forth its own individual note.
The poet has told us that “in the mud
and scum of things, something always,
always sings.” And Mr. Alfred G. Ro
byn, the well known organist and com
poser says, “This is not fanciful —ev-
erything sings to the musician.”
But who would have thought of ap
plying the musical gamut to “catch the
safety song of the sky-scraper?” Mr.
Hower says there are, and will yet be
more marvellous things. You recall
the legend of the blind fiddler and the
bridge. There is one low note in the
biggest pipe organ in the country, in
one of Cincinnati’s music halls, which
the organist dares not sound. It is
the key-note of that building, and
when struck causes the building to
vibrate to an alarming extent, till it
seems as if the hall, like a bridge,
would shake itself to pieces and fall
with a crash. Practical engineers
concede the danger.
Two musicians of prominence, Wil
liam Carl and Theodore Bendix, assert
that E. Major is the dominant vibra
tory note of the Trinity building, and
that C Natural is the keynote of the
Metropolitan Tower —but as yet no in
strument has been invented for regis
tering notes in such magnified volume.
Mr. Hower anticipates the fulfilling
of this need, and the immediate scien
tific application of the theory he ad
vances; for, he says, that this is an
age of “Wonderful progress, a prog
ress that is accelerating, and that this
acceleration will continue,” etc.
What do the Householders think —
are we really progressing, or are we
just now catching up with past ages?
Was not this scientific principle under
stood, and applied by Joshua, in taking
the city of Jericho? “And it came .to
pass, when the people heard the sound
of the trumpet, and the people shouted
with a great shout, that the wall fell
down flat.” Do any of you suppose
that Joshua knew what would be the
result of striking the key note of the
walls of Jericho?
Perhaps, when we have progressed
still more, it will be scientifically clear
to us how and why Joshua could say.
“Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon;
and thou, Moon, in the valley of Aja-
Ion.”

AN ONLY DAUGHTER RELIEVED OF
CONSUMPTION
When death was hourly expected, all
remedies having failed, and Dr. H. James
was experimenting with the many herbs .of
Calcutta, he accidentally made a preparation
which cured his only child of Consumption.
His child is now in this country and enjoying
the best of health. He has proved to the
world that Consumption can be positively
and permanently cured. The doctor now
gives his recipe free, only asking two
2-cent stamps to pay expenses. This herb
also cures Night Sweats. Nausea at the
Stomach and will break up a fresh cold in
twenty-four hours. Address CRADDOCK &
CO., Philadelphia, Pa., naming this paper.
