Christian Science, so called, has re
cently met with an unfortunate ex
perience in Chicago *n an experiment
on sick horse.
Air.Ed ward A. Kimball owned a
beautiful horse to which lie was
h I most as sincerely attached as he
was to the Christian Science fad.
The horse fell sick, and the anxious
owner had an excellent opportunity
for t. sting the virtue of “science” on
the animal, and being a man of great
faith in Ins beloved colt, he quickly
determined to cure him on strictly
Christian Science principles. He
plausibly argued that what was good
for him as a man must be good foi>
his horse.
His first step, therefore, was to
gize for it, blit if the doctor makes a
mistake he buries it. If we make
one there is a lawsuit, tall swearing
and a smell of sulphur, but if the
doctor makes one there is a funeral,
cut flowers and a smell of varnish.
If it doctor goes to see another mail’s
wife he will charge the man for
his visit. If the editor calls on an
other man’s wife he gets a charge of
buckshot.
The editor works to keep from
starving, while the doctor works lo
w;ird off the.gout, yflie editor helps
men to live better, and the doctor
assists them to die easy. The doc
tor pv.Ils a sick man’s leg, the editor
is glad if he can even collect his hill
at all. Revenue only? We are liv
ing for tun and to spite the doctors.

Dr. Parkhnrst, after spending a
few hours in Atlanta and flying
across to Tt.skeegee in a palace car,
proceeded to giye the results of his
observation and study of the race
problem and Southern conditions to
Ins New York audience. He thought
he was fully equipped with informa
tion that would bring about a solu
non of these things that gave him
and Ins “educational party” so much
concern. lie forgot, however, the
fact that he has been a resident of
the great city of New York so long
and lias not yet been able to effect
any solution of the miserable wretch-
keep away from the stable any vei-Lj^ po , my aiK , dearadaUon ex .
entiary surgeon or other persou who
would offer to cure his horse with I
with medicine or otherwise. “Throw j
physic to the dogs,” is a Christian
Science maxim, for it is neitbe* fit
for man nor beast. This Mr. Kim-1
ball accepted, as do all faithful fol
lowers of their fad. He knew the
horse was only sick "in his mind,”
because no horse or man was ever
or could lie sick except in Ins imag
ination. The only thing needed to
make the horse perfectly sound in
mind aud limb was to free him from
isiiug under his vision or to propose
a practical remedy for them. Might
I not a trip through the slums of his
I own city by some of oar benighted
natives effect as good opportunity
1 for practical results as that of the
. “educational party” through the
!south ?
