J-X KODP.RICK DIIIT SUPPLY OH Liberal Terms Zf Evlilonco Hint Ilcllcf In Damons l Vnnlxhlnir With Othor Superstitions The time-spirit has filched away from the minds of the most intelli gent believers of today the belief in an evil being, or ruler of the visible world, forever troubling men, es pecially the righteous, with cor poreal apparitions of himself. In stead of exorcising the mad, wc send them into asylums, where they are properly looked after, "in Great Britain, except in remote corners of Cornwall, of Ireland, and of the Scotch Highlands, and among Celts, one never hears of magical cures and incantations which will alleviate sickness and arrest bleeding. In the age of the Gospels, everyone, from the beggar in the streets to the emperor on the throne, believed in the existence of demons infesting men and animals, haunting trees and livers, oven in habiting statues as their tenements. It was only a question of which name was most potent in exorcism. In that age, as in the ages that followed, there was a background of dcmonological belief into which fitted the stories which are a stumbling-block to modern divines like Larrar and Ian Maclaren. In the age of the Reformation, this back ground of belief in evil spirits caus ing madness and sickness and bad weather was still intact, and enter ed as a factor into men's lives and conduct to a degree which only those can realize who will consult the literature of that age. Even T lldlnH aaalaj- Itlirnt rm k a n a a lmtisll , .... .. i of superstition, never questioned tho reality of the visits which the ...mm, ii, - devil paid him. With the disappearance from the minds of the cultivated of the be lief in Satan and his angels, a great part of the narrative of the New Testament has been left hanging in the air, and without any points of attachment in the minds of believ ers. On the one hand, our di vines are bound by a traditional revcrance for the letter of the Bible not to question openly any of its narratives. On the other hand, their views of man, of the universe, of Providence, and of the general course of history, of what is possible and probable, have undergone such a revolution that narratives like the temptation, the swine of Gadara, even the angelic apparitions "are mere stumbling-blocks. In the English church, moreover, their ordination vows and in the Non conformist congregationsthechapel deeds commit them to an outworn belief; and there is always a mi nority of obscurantists ready to hurl at them hard words like "skep tic," "rationalist," backslider," and "atheist," if they venture to speak out. Most of them, therefore, feel the ice so thin that they care fully avoid a discussion of miracles or of evil spirits. If they cannot avoid it, they mechanically restate standpoints which they have really overcome, repeating, parrot-like, formula. of another age. Small wonder that the English clergy are given up to petty quarrels about lights and incense, when they may not boldly grapple with the, great issues of belief, which yet are in everybody's mind. The result is that 'an ever-increasing number of laymen dispense with their minis trations, and leave a blank too of ten filled by weak women who want a priest assuming miraculous at tributes to direct their consciences. Nor is it in Anglo-Saxon and Teutonic communities alone that there has set in a decay of those dcmonological beliefs, which, alter it has gone certain way, can not but give an air of strangeness, un reality, and isolation to much of the New Testament. I have heard Italian monks ridicule their parish ioners for their belief in demons and admit that the priestly exor cisms by which the evil spirits were cast out were purely conventional. Notes.

Cape Town, March 26. Cecil Rhodes died peacefully at 5:57 p.m. He passed a fairly good night, and this morning his condition was re ported as unchanged. At noon his heart weakened, but later he rallied somewhat, and during the afternoon he slept. Toward even ing his breathing became labored and his strength failed rapidly. He was conscious until 5:55. when he muttered a few words and sank rapidly. The immediate cause of his death was two successive attacks of heart failure. At his bedside were Dr. Jameson, Dr. J. W. Smartt, the Commissioner of Public Works; Colonel Elmhurst Rhodes, director of signalling of the South African Field Eorcc, and Mr. Walton, a member of the Assembly of P,ort Elizabeth. Mr. Rhodes' last words were the names of his brother and sonic of the others present, which were meant to be good-bys. The only person who attended him during his illness who was not present at his deathbed was Dr. Stevenson. All the others, his "boys," and personal servants, were admitted at the last. The body will be taken to Groot Schuur, the residence of i ' the de- '"5" - " "Ka '-"i"- '""''' 011 a spscial train tomorrow. There it will probably lie in state for a day or two, and the public will be ad- mitted to view the remains. The features of the dead man are placid, and a death mask of them will be taken. Paris, March 27. Lord Rosebery I arrived in Paris this morning from , London. The Patrie says he made the following statement to a re- ( porter: ' "Mr. Chamberlain was only an I instrument in the hands of Rhodes. I Now that the latter has disap-1 pearcd, what will become of the member from Birmingham? Eng lish opinion has had enough of a policy based solely on force, which has only created for us enemies in Europe and cast us into a conflict in which thousands of our sons have perished. A ministerial crisis in England now would not be sur prising. Possibly, because of the coronation, King Edward will pre vent this by ending the war and directing English policy into new channels, more in conformity with justice and the rights of peoples." Rhodes' Will In London. London, March 28. The execu tors of the late Cecil Rhodes are Lord Rosebery, Earl Grey, Alfred Beit, a director of the British Char tered South Africa Company; Mr. Mitchell, B. A. Hawksley, counsel for the British Chartered South Africa Company, and Dr. Jameson. The original will of Mr. Rhodes is in Loudon and will be published shortly. After a slight hesitation at the opening of the Stock Exchange the tone of Kaffirs was distinctly firmer, showing that Rhodes' death had been discounted. a yamiaiii.k mi:ihcink.

Cramer, Esq., a well known watch maker, of Colombo, Ceylon. "It has been .some two years since the City Dispensary first called my attention to this valuable medicine and I have re peatedly used it and it has always been Deueuciai. it lias cured me quickly of all chest colds. It is especially effective for children and seldom takes more than one bottle to cure them of hoarseness. I have persuaded many to try this valuable medicine, and they arc all as well pleased as myself over the results." Eor sale by Ililo Drug Co.
