—It is said that at no time during the past twenty years has it been so unsafe to travel in Turkey as during the present year.
—Ten thousand barrels of flour were recently sold in California to be sent to Cork, “the first large sale of the kind ever made here for that market.”
—Nearly $100,000 of silver coin has been distributed in Chicago, and there is such a call for it that the clerks in the sub-treasury weigh out the coin instead of counting it as at first.
—As might be expected in view of the near termination of his term of office, the President has vetoed the bill reducing the salary of the President of the United States from $50,000 to $25,000.
—Anna Besant, the English radical heroine, is circulating a petition to parliament praying that no further grants of money be made, under any circumstances, to the members of the royal family. It has received about 80,000 signatures.
Omaha, May 3.—A party of Black Hills miners just returned to Sioux City say there is no fodder for cattle or horses in that country, and that stock is dying off rapidly from starvation. The grass is not yet started, and in many places snow still covers the ground—to the depth of a foot in the vicinity of Custer City. This party counted the carcasses of 400 animals that had recently died of disease and starvation. Other places report numbers of miners ruined by an expedition to the Hills who have returned and are being fed and clothed by the liberality of their friends.
—All of the workmen employed in constructing the new railway tunnel near Heath, in South Wales, were buried by an explosion of powder which caused the roof to fall. Already thirteen dead bodies and a number of wounded have been found, and still the search continues.
—The House of Representatives has passed a bill for the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department. This will not be regarded as a rejection of the peace policy, but a condemnation of the theft and outrage which have seemed inseparable from the present administration.
—Senator Sargent’s speech on the Chinese question made a good deal of impression on Senators, and has since been the subject of frequent reference, especially his showing their corrupting influences upon the morals of the community, and that they do not come here for citizenship; but these impressions have been largely counteracted by reports by telegraph of the violent treatment of the ignorant Chinamen.
—Turkey is unable to quell the insurrection in Bosnia and Herzegovina. She threatened to arm the Mohammedan population whereupon the three European powers have intimated to the Porte that if a massacre should follow the arming, military expeditions, composed of Austrian and Russian troops, into Turkish territory, will certainly be undertaken. Montenegro has declared war against Turkey, and 7,000 Montenegrins have joined the insurgents.
—The new educational scheme of Japan provides for eight universities, thirty-two high schools, or academies, 256 grammar schools, and 5,500 primary schools. Thirty university students are to be sent abroad every year for professional research, the government allowing them $1,800 each per year, while 150 from the intermediate schools will be sent out for special study upon allowances of $1,000. The annual cost of education in the high schools has been fixed at $7.50 per head, and lower ones at $5.
—On Saturday, May 6, Leavenworth, Kansas, was visited by the most disastrous wind-storm ever known in that vicinity. It had been raining almost incessantly for sixty hours, and as the wind-storm struck the town, rain was coming down in torrents. At a few moments after three o’clock a sharp breeze came up from the east, which continued not over a minute; then there was a dead calm, and the rainfall ceased entirely. Then began to be heard the distant roaring of the coming tornado. In a moment the wind struck, and it seemed for a time that everything above ground was doomed to destruction. There was a terrific roaring of wind, which could not be likened to anything but itself. The creaking and groaning of trembling buildings, the crash of falling walls and flying timbers, made an exhibition of the fury of the elements which those who witnessed it will never desire to see repeated. The wind-cloud was funnel-shaped, with the small end down. It moved with an oscillating motion from west to east, scattering ruin in its pathway wherever it struck the earth. The roofs were blown off and warehouses damaged. The iron roof of the Union depot was blown off; and some thirty smaller buildings were unroofed or blown down. The loss to the city and county cannot be less than $150,000, and may reach $250,000.
The heavy rains seem to have visited a vast amount of territory. Dispatches from Kansas City, dated May 6, give account of unprecedented rainfall causing immense damage and delays to railroads. The Hannibal and St. Joseph road is blocked near Cameron, and breaks in the roads are being reported from other places.
In Chicago the storm was nearly as severe as at Leavenworth. The Michigan Southern depot was unroofed and six laborers working in the vicinity were more or less hurt, one seriously. The massive steeple of Grace Church, 175 feet high, fell, and crashing through the roof, penetrated to the aisle. The choir was practicing in the church at the time, but were not injured. The spire of the Wabash-avenue Methodist Church also broke off and fell into a lot adjoining. The massive fog-bell at the crib, together with the newly erected tower, was swept into the lake and entirely destroyed. The loss will probably be over $5,000. Hacks and carriages were wrecked in the streets and abandoned. Nearly fifty vehicles were seen on the south side, after the tornado had passed, all turned over, and some of them worthless on account of damage by the storm.

A SUNNY TEMPER
You gain nothing by fretting; you only waste your strength by it. Choose your work, plan as skillfully as you can, put your whole heart into what you are about to do, and leave the rest to a kind Providence that overlooks not a single one of us. Do you know how many years of your life and happiness are mortgaged by this habit of worrying? And after all, what does it accomplish? How does it help you on? How much strength does it bring to you in your labors and exertions? None, none whatever. A ruffled temper all the time throws to the surface the “mire and dirt” of the nature; it does not combine the best elements, and help them to work together to the best advantage, but only the worst, and gives them alone all the chance. A beautiful, sunny temper is no sign of weakness, as many suppose, but of strength and harmony of character. It shows that there is a power seated at the center of the being, that knows how to administer the government.
The Power of a Cheerful Temper
knows how to administer the government.
Lord Clarendon wrote of anger, that it is the most impotent passion that occupies the mind of man; it effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the man who is possessed by it more than any against whom it is directed. He knew the human heart. The worst of anger is, if you give the reins to it for once, it is still more difficult for you to keep them yourself the next time. But a cheerful temper is like the genial sun, in whose warm rays all men like to bask. The possessor of such may not, perhaps, make as many stare and tremble at his barbed phrases of satire or scorn, but he will certainly make more devoted and loving friends, and, what is more, be sure to keep them.
Wear Your Colors
Heaven help the man who imagines he can dodge enemies by trying to please everybody! If such an individual ever succeeded, we should be glad to know it. Wear your colors in spite of wind or weather, storm or sunshine.
Bathing.
By John Harvey Kellogg
THE utility of water for purposes of bathing is due to its two most prominent properties: 1. It is a fluid and is one of the best solvents known. 2. It will absorb more heat than any other substance, when equal weights are compared. In other words, the value of water when used in the form of the bath is due to its cleansing and cooling properties.
In order to secure the best results it is essential that pure, soft water should be employed. Rain water is generally the best, though this is unfit when allowed to become tainted by standing long. It should then be filtered. Hard water is injurious to the skin, and is almost useless as a cleansing agent on account of the oily secretions of the skin. Hard water may be rendered less harmful by prolonged boiling.
There is no advantage to be gained by the use of mineral waters, since they are only very strong solutions of sundry salts, alkalies, and other mineral poisons. The purer and softer the water the better.
Sponge Bath.—The sponge or hand bath is perhaps the simplest and most useful mode of applying water to the surface of the body. It can be employed by any one, requires no elaborate preparation, and can be administered under almost any circumstances. A great quantity of water is not required. A few quarts are a plenty, and a pint will answer admirably in an emergency. A soft sponge, or a linen or cotton cloth, and a soft towel or a cotton sheet, are the other requisites. The hand may be used instead of a sponge or cloth in applying the water.
The temperature of the room should be about 80 degrees, that of the water should be not more than 95 degrees, and 90 is generally better. Some people can bathe habitually in water of a cooler temperature without injury, but the plan is not a good one for most persons, and is sometimes productive of great injury.
Fever patients and weakly persons should be bathed with as little disturbance as possible. With some care on the part of the attendant, a patient may receive a sponge bath in bed with very little disturbance indeed. In such cases, great care should be taken to avoid chilling the patient by exposing too great a portion of the body at once.
The sponge bath is always useful in cases of fever, being one of the best known means for reducing the temperature. For purposes of personal cleanliness, it is absolutely indispensable. Persons in health should bathe at least once a week, even during the colder months. In the warm season a bath each day, or at least two or three times a week, is required to keep the skin free from impurities. When a bath is taken so infrequently as once a week, a little fine soap should be used to aid in removing foul matter from the skin.
Bathing does not, as many people suppose, render a person more liable to colds than he would otherwise be, though a little extra clothing may sometimes be required immediately after bathing, especially if the bath has been taken at too high a temperature. Failure to wipe every portion of the body perfectly dry is one of the most common causes of taking cold after bathing. Frequent bathing is the best known preventive against taking cold.—J. H. KELLOGG, M. D., in Reformer.

To the might of the strong it addeth strength;
It freshens the heart, it brightens the sight;
'Tis like quaffing a goblet of morning light.”

THE KENTUCKY CONFERENCE has been postponed one week. Eld. Canright will attend the meeting, and it is expected that a State Conference will be organized, including, perhaps, the State of Tennessee.
THE MISSOURI CONFERENCE and the Mo. T. and M. Society will hold their first session in connection with the camp-meeting near Holden, Johnson Co., Mo., to be held June 1–5.
WISCONSIN.—There will be two camp-meetings in Wisconsin this year; one at Sparta, June 15–19; the other at Ripon, June 29 to July 3. The annual Conference and Tract Society meeting will be held at the Sparta Camp-meeting.
SABBATH-KEEPERS in the Southern States are requested to address Eld. D. M. Canright, at Elizabethtown, Hardin Co., Ky. He will spend several weeks in the Southern States, and wishes to hear from small bodies of Sabbath-keepers, in places where labor is needed, and from lone ones especially interested in the truth.
The Mexican Revolution.
The revolution headed by Diaz in Mexico, has progressed so far that about one-half of the Mexican States, measuring by population and influence, are favorable to him. What appeared to be nothing more than an outbreak of natural lawlessness and love of adventure, proves to be a force much more important. The liberal policy of the late President Juarez has been continued by his Secretary and successor, President Tejado. When Juarez came into power he found nearly a third of the entire wealth of the republic in the hands of the Roman church, the monasteries and prelates were on the way to the monopoly of the landed property and money of the realm. With a degree of boldness and statesmanship which had never been exhibited before in that country he seized the ill-gotten booty and sold it for the benefit of the public treasury, and suppressed the many rebellions instigated by the priests. No sooner was Juarez in his grave than the conspiracy was renewed, and the patience, secrecy and effectiveness with which the ecclesiastics have worked is now seen in a rebellion in which the conspirators are about an even match for the government. It is not improbable that they will be successful. If so the missionaries in that country will be in imminent danger. If the ecclesiastics again come into power, after their long exclusion from it, they will be too hungry and malignant to act with moderation. The reason that the magnitude of this rebellion has not been appreciated until recently, lies in part in the secrecy of the movements of the conspirators, and partly in the policy of President Tejado, who has suppressed all mention of it in the journals of the capital.—Interior.

European Press.
THE want of a press to be owned and controlled by S. D. Adventists in Switzerland, on which tracts in many languages may be printed and scattered by thousands through the different states of Europe, seems to be daily increasing; and we are glad that the prospect is that such a press will soon be running. From the Review and Herald we copy the following pledges:—
We the undersigned, regard it a great privilege to donate to the Lord, for the European press, under the care of our worthy missionary, Elder J. N. Andrews, One Hundred Dollars each, and invite ninety-one others to join us in raising $10,000.

Battle Creek.
The Review reports a good work going on in Battle Creek. Sabbath, April 28, nine candidates were examined, and received the ordinance of baptism. Eight of these were students from the college. In the forenoon of the same day Bro. John Fulton of Hutchinson, Minn., who has been attending the College, was set apart to the work of the gospel ministry. The ordination discourse was given by Eld. White. Prayer by Bro. Canright. Right hand of fellowship and charge by Eld. White.
San Jose, Cal.
By J. H. WAGGONER; John Norton Loughborough
Sabbath and First-day, May 6 and 7, we spent in San Jose. This church was in the most pressing need of help, yet it was not easy to labor for them as some, at least, did not feel the need of help, and we have learned that it is not well to urge to action any further or faster than a church will move unitedly, as there is danger of murmurers taking advantage of any disagreement to sow disaffection and discord.
For want of timely administration of discipline much has been lost in Santa Clara and San Jose. The sooner a check is put upon disorganizing elements the better for the peace of the church and the prosperity of the cause. In Santa Clara, as in Sonoma county, we have had most convincing evidence that it is unwise to let individuals bear responsibilities in this cause who are not thoroughly converted to the present truth nor in union with our work. It is a saddening thought that people will profess the present truth and even occupy important positions among us who are so destitute of moral honor and love of the truth as to abuse the confidence of the church, and use the influence conferred upon them to stab the cause and its friends.
But our labor was not in vain. The following resolutions, offered by Bro. Stevenson at our last meeting, speak, we think, the real feelings of their hearts:—
Resolved, That we feel under lasting obligations to Elds. Waggoner and Loughborough for their timely visit to this church, and gratefully accept the advice and counsel and reproof which they have so generously and kindly given us. While in individual cases the reproof has been sharp, yet we are satisfied that it is given in a true Christian spirit, and we hereby declare that we will profit by the advice given, and aid and assist by our labors and sympathies in the promotion of the cause of present truth on this coast and the advancement of the third angel's message throughout the world.
Resolved, That this resolution be entered in the minutes of this church and published in the SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
These resolutions were passed unanimously, and we left them with the firm assurance that their interest in the cause had been quickened by our visit, and that they feel and realize more than ever before the necessity of perfect union and hearty co-operation in our work.

The Sabbath Was Made for Man
“The Sabbath was made for man.” It knows nothing of nations or classes of men; for it existed before any such divisions were known—thousands of years before a Jew existed. To stigmatize it as “Jewish” is in contradiction of the words of the Lord Jesus, above quoted.
Silent Preachers.
By M. W.
A FRIEND in Madison, Wisconsin, writes as follows:
“I am a new subscriber to your paper, and have become very much interested in it and the cause it advocates. Madison is a town of about 10,000 inhabitants, and I do not suppose there are ten persons here who believe we are living in the last days, and I know of but one Sabbath-keeper, and that is myself. I do wish that the truth might be preached to these people. Can there not be some effort made in that direction? I feel as if I ought to do something, so have made up my mind to order five copies of your paper to distribute here.”
This is a very commendable course to take. We much deplore that there are not in our ranks preachers sufficient to send into all such fields to present the truth to the people; but these we have not at present. We would, however, say to all who have made similar requests for labor, that we have in this city a good supply of “silent preachers,” which we can send at any time, to any address, and which will, if judiciously distributed, do even more towards creating an interest in the truths we hold than the living preacher could do by giving a few short lectures.
As has been previously stated, we are giving in the SIGNS, from week to week, a regular “Course of Lectures,” which takes up point after point of our faith in the order usually followed by our ministers in new fields. This makes it just the paper to place in the hands of those who are not acquainted with our views. Try it brethren, as this sister has done, and let these silent preachers prepare the way for the living preacher. M. W.
Are You Converted?
READER, there is a great question before your eyes. Try to answer it. The Bible says that without conversion there can be no salvation. Now are you converted?
You attend church perhaps. You go to the Lord’s table. You like good people. You can distinguish between good preaching and bad. You think Popery false, and oppose it warmly. You think Protestantism true, and support it cordially. You subscribe to religious societies. You attend religious meetings. You sometimes read religious books. It is well; it is very well. It is good; it is all very good. It is more than can be said of many. But still this is not a straightforward answer to my question, Are you converted, or unconverted?
Have you been born again? Are you a new creature? Have you put off the old man, and put on the new? Have you ever felt your sins and repented of them? Are you looking simply to Christ for pardon and life eternal? Do you love Christ? Do you serve Christ? Do you loathe heart sins, and fight against them? Do you long for perfect holiness, and follow hard after it? Have you come out from the world? Do you delight in the Bible? Do you wrestle in prayer? Do you love Christ’s people? Do you try to do good to the world? Are you vile in your own eyes, and willing to take the lowest place? Are you a Christian in business and on week days, and by your own fire-side? Oh, think on these things, and then perhaps you will be better able to tell the state of your soul.
Reader, turn not away from this question, however unpleasant it may be. Answer it, though it may prove you in the wrong and expose your fearful danger. Rest not, till you know how it is between you and God. Better a thousand times find out that you are in an evil case, and repent betimes, than live on in uncertainty and be lost eternally. Are you converted?—N. Y. Witness.
