About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an at-
tac k of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. I gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but as
nothing gave relief, we sent lor a phy
sician and it was under his care for a
week. At this time the child had been
sick for about ten days and was having
about twenty-five operations of the
bowels every twelve hours, and we
were convinced that unless it soon ob
tained relief it would not live. Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was recommended, and 1 de
cided to try it. I soon noticed a
change for the better; by its continued
use a complete cure was brought about
and it is now perfectly healthy.—C. L,

‘ Will vou marry me, sweet maid?” he
said, ;

Alas for maiden, alas for Judge,
For old designer and wheat-field drudge, 1
Lord pity them both aud pity us all,
For Maud didn’t own the wheat at all.
And the Judge remarked when he learned !
the cheat;
“Don’t talk to me about dollar wheat!” !

was present, and papers of interest
were read by the vice-Presidents on

talk. The readings and talks were
interspersed with sweet songs. Mr.

BOOKS.-!HEIR VALUE,
Books, like men, are only useful as
they are valuable to make men better,
to instruct, to put one to thinking, to
awake reason, to excite to investigation,
to compare, to observe. We taste of
books just as vve do of men to whom
we are introduced. We soon see if vve
can learn anything from them, and it
their acquintanceship is worth culti
vating. So of books, for when vve
read a few pages vve soon see if vve can
become interested in the thoughts of
the author. The same holds good a-
to ministers, for a few sermons will
uive one an insight as to the mental
build of the speaker.
styi.es.
The Rev. Mr. Dry-as-Dust won
ders why people do not come to hear
him. He says: “I preach good or
thodox sermons. I preach the plain
truth of the Bible.” Yes, that is'all
so, but so dull, so dry, so cold, so tin-
animated. You do not excite an
emotion, or feeling, or thought in your
bearers.
Rev. Mr. Ranter is astonished that
the pews are empty, for says lie: “I
am full of zeal and feeling.” Yes,
says one: He is all noise and mouth,
but I do not get an idea from him.
Noise is not reason or persuasion.
The Rey. Mr. Original says: “1 do
not find ii difficult to fill my pews. I
find the people like new thoughts, new
ideas, and a pleasant and inviting way
to illustrate truth.'* That is so, for
thinking minds hunger tor new thought*
and are sick of old platitudes.
The Rev. Mr. Abuser Slang Flinger
fills tiie church for he knows people
enjoy racy talk and like to hear
others abused for their short-comings.
It does seem that human nature likes
to pull down some times. Rev. Siting
Flinger may or may not do good in
his way, but intelligent minds tire dis
gusted.
The Rev. Mr. Animation is at
tractive and throws life into his sub
ject and shows an earnestness which
will excite attention and produce
thought. So of all classes of public
speakers and lecturers. There must
be something in the style in which
anything is told, asp New York min
ister said who had a vacation for the
summer. Ilis last sermon in New York
was: “I will arise and go to my
Father.” He on a Sunday, unknown,
visited a country church. The text
was the same he had preached from.
But the way the country parson de
picted the son full of humiliation, re
pentance and sorrow, and the recep
tion with which his father met and
wept over him, moved many to tears.
The New York minister was him.-elf
moved, and when in talking of the ser
mon afterwards said: “There is h good
deal in the,way of telling a story to
make it impressive and lasting.”
BOOKS.
So of hooks which we uead. We
are impressed with the style of the
writer, the way he puts his thoughts
together, the language lie uses.
Whether he turns on full suu-light,
moon-light or star-light, or whether he
writes as if the mental heavens were
black with clouds. An intelligent
reader soon tastes of books, and he
will soon know if there is mental meat
in the hook worth eating or digesting.
It is not what a man reads which makes
him wise or learned, but what lie re
members and digests which make him
mentally lat and full.
SlIT THE HEARER.
There is a good deal in knowing just
how to feed one mentally. St. Paul
who no doubt was a close observer of
men, told some of his hearers, and no
doubt he took a true mental measure of
them, “1 have fed you with milk, and
not with meat; lor hitherto ye were
riot able to bear it, neither yet now are
ye able.” Which means do not under
take to give too rich or strong mental
food to weak minds, to understand that
which is above and beyond their com
prehension or education. River bouts
were never built lor ocean service, so
do not attempt an ocean passage. Feed
one. as they are able to digest.
Books to be interesting and instruc
tive should suit the mind ol the reader.
No sensible teacher or father would
put books into the hands of children
beyond their comprehension. The wav
to judge of
THE BRAIN DOWER
Of a man or child, is to see what they
can assimilate, use, digest and under,
stand, but not to repeat, tor a g<> • i
memory is only retailin ■ something
read. But real brain power is to think,
analyse, dissect ami assimilate, and
build upon and give to the world some
new thought.
VAI.UE OE BOOKS.
The real value of a book is to make
one think, not to read only. Like n,e
teachings of Jesus which were so plain,
pointed and instructive, we are in. i
the common people heard him gladly;
and it was for that reason, the priest*
feared hint, who did not make the pen-
pie think. Thought is the silent power
within us, it is the making of us.
When a book builds one up in thouglit,
inspires ooe, aids one, it is a good book
WAR NEVMMMARY.
Reports come from Maiila that a
sharp engagement occurred at Malate
on the night of July 31, The Spanish
attempted to surprise the American
lines but were driven back with heavy
loss. The Americans lost thirteen
men killed and forty-tour wounded. It
was expected that an immediate ad-
vnnee would be made on Manila.
Gen. Miles informs the war depart
ment that he has all the troops he
wants in Porto Rico, and no more
will he sent. him.
The war department officials are con
sidering the advisability of breaking up
the great concentration camps and
scattering the men.
Washington, Aug. 10.—Secretary
Day at 1 o’clock today made the fol
lowing statement to the Associated
Press:
“We have agreed upon a protocol
embodying the proposed terms for the
negotiation of a treaty of peace, includ
ing the evacuation of Cuba and Porto
Rico, .and it is expected this protocol
will be executed.”
It can he stated that the terms are
precisely those laid down by the presi-
dent in his original note about a week
ago.
It is believed that nothing but a few
formalities remain to be disposed ot to
secure the -fig-nature ol the protocol.
to him, and lie should hold on toil.
Merely to eat to feel full is not eating
t« a very good purpose, but to eat to
give health and strength is like read
ing a Imok to give mental strength to
think, teel and reason. Good books
are to the mind what sunshine is to
flowers, fruit and crops. Dryden said:
“Books are spectacles to read nature.”
\es. what one sees, feels, knows and
hears for all is nature.

When in few solid authors It may be found
