Baptist church last Sabbath evening where of an unusual order, and attracted a large number who are not regular attendants. Miss Isabelle Craw- ford, who has spent a number of years as a missionary to the Kiowa Indians in Oklahoma U. S., was present, and upon the special invi- tation of Pastor Hagen related, in part, the history of her work, At the outset of her labors there were no Christians among tle Indians at her station, but vow there is an organized Baptist church there with a hundred members. They have a very comfortable and com- modious meeting-house which the Indians have built at their own expense, ~~ Miss Crawford is an original and exceptionally interest- ing speaker, aud held the closest {attention of her audience from be- {ginning to the end of her address Jwhich lasted an hour. - Sensation in Lindsay ~The people of Lindsay and vicin- ity have been greatly exercised dut- ing the past week on account of the arrest of a number of well-known residents who have 'been' charged with isstiing counterfeit batik bills, For some reason Lindsay seems to be'regarded as a favorable base of operations by those engaged in the manufacture of "green goods', A number of years ago a certain house on Durliam St. , on the out- skirts of the town, was made the They do not realize that the back is the mainspring of 'woman's organism, and quickly indicates by aching a dis- easad condition of the female organs or kidneys, and that the aches and pains will continde until the eause'is removed.

A North Atlantic Curiosity. "In the midst of the north Atlantic there is an enormous fleld of floating seaweed which kept its place presum- ably for centuries,' said an old sea captain. . "It occupies an immense eddy about the fifty-sixth degree of west longitude and between the twen- ty-second and twenty-eighth degrees of north latitude. There is a great differ- ence of opinion regarding the origin of this floating mass. Some believe it to be detached from rocks at a cousidera- ble depth. in the latitude where it flonts. Others suppose it to come from the shores of the northern seas, having been detached from the rocks by the violence of the winds. Some again im- agine that it comes from the rocky shores of Florida and Mexico, while many others agree with me in believ- Ing that it hag never had any other than "its present place of abode. No oue has ever seen it attached to rocks, nor have roots ever been discovered belonging to it." * What a Man's Beard Tells.
