scrofula

Any doctor will tell you that Professor Hare, of oe Medical College,

*hiladelphia, is one of the highest authorities in the world an the action of drugs. In his last work, speaking of the treatment of scrofula, he says:

‘It is hardly necessary to state that cod-liver eilisthe best remedy of all. The oil should

be given in emulsion, so prepared as to be palatabic.” He also says that the

hypophosphites should be combined with the oil. Scott’s Emulsion of cod- liver oil, with hypophos- phites, is precisely such a preparation.

DAILY STORY OF THE CROSS.

IT WAS HELD A SACRED SYMBOL LONG BEFORE THE CRUCIFIXION.

Revered by the Aborigines of America as Well as by the Most A'uctent Peoplé of the Old World---The Instrument of the Most Ignominious Death,

No symbol, either in art or in reli- gion, is so universal as the cross. It appears twice in our a'phabet, as the letter T and the letter X. It is worn by priests on their sacrificial robes, by distinguished laymen as a sign of dis- tinction on occasions of state, and by male and female nonentities as taste may direct. It is graven on eucharis- tic vessels, embroidered on altar cloths, and cut in relief on tombs and monu- Some of the greatest churches of Christendom are In European

ments. and cathedrals fashioned in its shape. countries it is common to see large crosses erected in public places. The famous Charing (chere reine) Cross, in London, derives its name from the fact that it was one ofthe places at whieh King Edward I, set up a cross to mark where the body of his Queen Eleanor rested during the progress of the funer- al cortege to Westminster.

Yet itis a mistake to suppose that the cross had only a Christian history.

It was used as a religious symbol by the aborigines of North and South Am- erica, as well as by the most ancient nations of the Old World. Prescott tells us that the Spaniards found the cross as an object of worship in the temples of Mexico. Researches in Central America and Peru prove that it was used in the same way by the in- habitants of those countries. Dr. Brin- ton, in ‘Myths of the New World,” in- forms us that the Indians regard the cross as a mystic emblem of the four cardinal] points of the compass.

The ancient Phoenicians, Persians, Assyrians and Brahmins looked upon the cross as a holy symbol, as is abundantly shown by the numerous hieroglyphics and other pictorial repre- sentations on their monumental re- mains. Osiris by the cross gave light eternal to the spirits of the just, be- neath the cross the Muysea mothers laid their babes, trusting by that sign to secure them from the power of evil spirits, and with that symbol to pro- tect them the Etruscans, the ancient people of Northern Italy, calmly laid them down to die.

The Thau of the Jews and the Tau of the Greeks, whence came the T of the Roman alphabet, were held to be not merely letters, but sacred symbols, on account of their being suggested by @ Cross.

Among the Scandinavians Thor was the thunder, and the hammer was his symbol. It was with this hammer that Thor crushed the head of the great Mitgard serpent; that he destroyed the giants; that he restored to life the dead goats, which ever after drew his car; that he consecrated the pyre of Baldur. This hammer was a cross. In Iceland the cross of Thor is still used asa magical sign in connection with storms of wind and rain. Longfellow tells us how King Olaf kept Christmas at Dorn- theim:—

O’er his drinking horn, the sign He made of the cross divine.

Ashe drank and muttered his prayers; But the Berserks evermore Made the sign of the hammer of Thor

Over theirs.

Neither King Olaf nor his Berserk- ers, nor, indeed, Longfeliow himself, seem to have realized that the two symbols were identical.

Comparative mythologists draw vari- ous deductions from these remarkable facts. Let us, howeyer, appeal to a man who is not only a comparative mythologist, but a Christian priest. “For my own part,” says the Rev. Baring Gould, “I see no difficulty in believing that the cross formed a por- tion of the primeval religicn, traces of which exist over the whole world, among every people; that trust in the cross was a part of the ancient faith which taught men to believe in a Trin- ity, in a war in heaven, a paradise from which man fell, a flood anda Babel, a faith which was deeply im- pressed with a conviction that a virgin should conceive and bear a son, that the dragon’s head should be bruised, and that through shedding of blood should come remission. The use of a cross as a symbol of life and regenera- tion through water is as widely spread over the world as the belief in the ark of Noah. Maybe the shadow of the cross was cast further back into the night of ages, and fell on a wider range of country than we are aware of.”

It was only natural that the early and mediaeval Christians, finding the cross a symbol of life among the nations of antiquity, should look euriously into the Old Testament to see whether there were not foreshadowings in it of “the wood whereby righteousness cometh.” Nor was their search un- rewarded. In Isaac bearing the wood of the sacrifice they saw prefigured both Christ and thecross. They saw the cross in Moses with arms expanded on the Mount, in the pole, with trans- verse bars, upon which was wreathed the brazen serpent, in the two sticks gathered by the widow of Sarepta. But plainest of all they read it in Ezek- iel, ix., 4, 6, “Go through the midst of the city. through the midst of Jerusa- lem, and set a mark upon the fore- heads of the men” that are to be saved from destruction by the sword. The word here rendered ‘“‘mark” is in the Vulgate ‘‘signa thau.” The Thau was the old Hebrew character, shaped like a cross which was regarded as the sign of life, felicity and safety.

Yet the cross was not always 8 sym- bol of honor. Among the Phoenicians and Syrians, and later among the Romans, it was a punishment inflicted on slaves, robbers. assassins anc rebels —among which lastJesus was reckoned, on account of his proclaiming himself

king, or Messiah. The person senten- ced to this punishment was stripped of his clothes, except a covering around the loins. Ina state of nudity he was beaten with whips. Such was the severity of this flagellation that num- bers died of it. Jesus was crowned with thorns, and was made the subject of mockery; but insults of this kind were not common. In this instance they were owing to the petulance of the Roman soldiers.

The criminal, having been beaten, was condemned to the further suffering of carrying the cross to the place of punishment, which was commonly 4 hill near the public highway, and out of the city. The place of crucifixion at Jerusalem wasa hill to the northwest of the city. The cross, otherwise the “post,” —the unpropitious or ominous treo—consisted of a piece of wood erected perpendicularly, and_ inter- sected by another one at right angles near the top. The crime for which the culprit suffered was inscribed on the transverse piece near the top of the perpendicular one. There is no men- tion made by the ancient writers of anything on which the feet of the cru- cified person rested. It is known, how- ever, that near the base of the perpen- dicular beam there projected a piece of wood on which he sat, and which an- swered as a support to the body—since the weight of the latter might have otherwise torn the hands by the nails driven through them.

The cross, when driven firmly in the ground, rarely exceeded 10 feet in height. The victim was elevated, and his hands were bound by a rope around the transverse beam and nailed through the palm. His feet were also nailed. He thus remained fastened until death ended his sufferings. While he exhib- ited any signs of life he was watched by guards; but they left him when it appeared that he was dead. If there was noprospect that the victim would die on the day of execution, the execu- tioners would hasten the end by kind- ling a fire at the foot of the cross, so asto suffocate him with smoke; or by letting loose upon him wild beasts; or occasionally, when in particular haste, by breaking his bones upon the cross with a mallet, as upon an anvil. It was at one time customary to offer the crim- inal, before the commencement of his sufferings, a medicated drink, com- pounded of wine and myrrh. The ob- ject of this was to produce intoxication, and thereby to lessen the suffering.

Crucifixion was not only the most ignominivus, but by far the most cruel, mode of punishment. The victim sometimes lived until the seventh day. The thieves who were executed at the same time with our Saviour were broken with mallets on the same day; and iu order to ascertain the condition of Jesus a lance was thrust in his side, but no signs of life appeared.

Cicero says the very name of the cross should be removed afar. ‘‘not only from the body, but from the thoughts, the eyes, the ears of Roman citizens, fer of all these things, not only the actual occurrence and endur- ance, but the very contingency and ex- pectation, nay, the mention itself, are unworthy of a Reman citizen anda free man.” Hence the force of St. Paul's frequent allusions to the humil- iatson which Christ endured when he suffered death upon the cross.

It was precisely this idea which made the early Christians seize upon the cross asthe emblem of their faith, that which had been the symbol of shame now became their glory. The instrument of Christ’s passion, by his death upon it, became hallowed for all time. The mediaeval Christians, desiring to see the cross identified still more closely with the Jewish Church, inserted a legend to supplement the Old Testament.

The story runs that Seth received from the angels three seeds of the for- bidden tree that he saw standing, though blasted, upon the spot where sin had been first committed. Taking the seeds away with him, he put them in the mouth of the dead Adam, and so buried them. The young trees that zrew from them, on the grave of Adam in Hebron, were carefully tended by Abraham, Moses and David. After they were removed to Jerusalem the Psalms were composed beneath them, and finally they slowly grew together and formed a single giant tree. This tree was felled by the order of Solo- mon,in order that it might be preserved forever asa beam inthe temple. The plan failed, however, for the carpenters round they could not manage the mighty beam.

When they raised it to its intended position they found it too long; then they sawed it and it proved too short; they spliced it, but to no purpose, they could not make it fit. This was taken as asign that it was intended for some other purpose, and they laid it aside in the Temple. On one occasion it was improperly made use of asa seat by a woman named Maximella, and she was at once enveloped in flames. She in- voked the aid of Christ, and was driven from the city and stoned todeath. In thecourse of its eventful history the beam became a bridge over Cedron,and, being then thrown into the stream of Bethesda, it gave to the waters heal- ing virtues. Finally from it was made the cross of Christ; after the crucifixion it was buried in Calvary, and exhumed three centuries later by the Empress Helena, the mother of Constantine, who was miraculously directed to the spot whers it lay.

NEW YORK’S WORKING HOURS.

They Seem to be Shert, But Heatly They Are Long.

No feature of city life strikes the coun- try visitor to this town more forcibly than the hour at which the rea! business of the day is begun. Justice Keogh, of the Supreme Court, wanted to begin pro- ceedings on the criminal bench in this city at 8.30, and the suggestion brought out a strong protest. Justice Keogh has been accustomed toe sit in rural districts. People in the country go to bed carly, and are apt to consider 10 o'clock in the forenoon a lazy hour to begin work. The lawyers, bankers, brokers and men whoge offices are in the lower part of the city don’t, asarule, get down to their work much before 10 o'clock, and at 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon they are on thelr way up town again. But these hours by no means represent their actual working time.

Life in New York is much more com- plex than it isin a small town. The law- yer, whose office hours are perhaps not more than six at the most may be sucha busy man that be has less time to him- self than the countryman who gets up at daybroak and works until dark. Many New York lawyers have large law librar- jes at their homes, and there they do the work that tells in court. Such men as Joseph H. Choate, Elihu Root, Edward Lauterbach, and a score of others who can be found in their offices only during comparatively short hours are busy at all times. Not long ago the writer had occa- sion to call on Mr. Root late in the even- ing. He found him up to his elbows in law papers that pertained to a case which was soon to be tried. Mr. Root had at- tended a public dinner and then returned to his library to go to work again. But the man from the country who knows that the office hours of such men as Mr. Root are short jumps at the conclusion that their hours of labor are equally short.—New York Sun.

ASLEEP ON THE WATER.

The Fur-Wearing Seal Makes a Cradle of the Ocean Billows.

Writing of the habits of the fur seal, a naturalist tells how luxuriously these creatures take their naps in the billows of the sea. ‘Lhe thick layer of blubber and the coats of soft fur in which theso seals are enveloped enable them to sleep with comfort on the hard ledges of the shore, and it makes thsm seem all the greater favorites of Nature that she takes them to her bosom in the yielding waves of the sea.

As they rest on the water, they seem to sleep as sound and as cornfortably, bedded on the waves or rolled by the swell, as they do on the land.

They lie on their backs, fold the fore- dippers down across the chest, and torn the hind ones up and over, so that the tips rest on their necks and chins, thus exposing only the nose and the heels of the hind flipper above water, nothing else being seen.

In this position, unless it happens to be very rough, the seal goes to sleep, as did the subject of that memorable song, who was ‘‘rocked jn the cradle of the

Inequality in Eyes.

you are either left eyed or right eyed, unless you are the one person out of every fifteen who has eyes of equal strength, You also belongto the small minority of one out of every ten persons if your left eye is stronger than your right. Asarule, just as people are right handed, they are right eyed. This is prob- ably due to the generally greater use of the organs of the right side of the body, as, for example, a gunner, using his right arm and shoulder, uses his right eye, thereby strengthening it with exercise. Old sea captains, after long use of the telescope, find their right eye much stronger than the left. This law is con- firmed by the experienca of aurists. Ifa person who has ears of equal hearing power has cause to use one ear more than then other for a long period, the ear brought into requisition is found to be much strengthened, and the ear which is not used loses its hearing in a correspond- ing degree.

Letter Writing.

Children should early be taught the art of letter writing, and not only to express their thoughts, but to become experts in the art so that every sentence tells its own story Ifevery mother would look over the letters of her children before al- lowing them to go to the mail correct mistakes in grammar, spelling and punc- tuation, and often suggesting a different wording for phrases, a good work will ba accomplished for the children. The habit of correcting expressions upon paper has influence upon Stvle.
