What Theosophy Is. There are undoubtedly many of our readers who do not understand the true meaning of the word "Theosophy" as applied to the Theosophl cal Society. By request we publish below a few extracts from Dr. Allen Griffiths' lecture, de livered in Medford a few weeks ago: Theosophy is not new, but as old as man. and was taught bv all sages of the past, iucluding Krishna, Zoroaster, Buddha, Jesus, Plato, Bohme, Paracelsus, St. Martin ana Blavnlsky. All were initiates of the Mysteries, and in dif ferent times to different people the same basic truths of man, nature and IVity. All Bible :md philosophies of whatever time, when their inner meaning is understood, are identically the same. Our religions differences are superficial. 1 f we sought to discover the similarity that ex ists between our religions, instead of magnify ing the superficial differences, true brotherhood, progress and hitppiness would reign among men. One of the objects of the Tueosopliieal Society is to discover the similarity existing bo t ween" religions, demonstrate that all have the s ime source. t!;at men are brothers in truth, having the same origin, age. and possible des tiny a to their physical, mental and spiritual develonment. This knowledge has ever been t mght bv Adepts, by whom if was imparted to fhe race 'in the present and all last quarters of past centuries. The Theosophical tSoeiety is the organization chosen at this lime by which added knowledge is given to mankind, and similar bodies of men existed in the past, as a knowledge of history demonstrates. Cycles of activity and rest swav throughout Cosmos, and -.he last quarter of each century is a minor per iod of activity. It is the world's springtime, --hen seed is sown that in the remaining parts of the century shall grow and produce the har vest. The Theosophical Society was organized in N. Y. City, in lf75. It is legally chartered and has three objects. 1st. To form the nucleus of an universal nrotherhood without destinction of race, creed, ex or color. 2nd. To promote the study of Oriental liter lures, religions snd sciences, and demonstrate Vne importance of that study. :rd. To investigate unexplained laws of nature and latent powers in man. A maxim of Theosophy is: "Believe nothing on- authority, heresay, or because of source, but rigidly investigate before accepting or re jecting anything." Each individual s exper ience differs from that of every other. Truth is many sided, and each one's attitude relative to the one central truth also differs, hence there can be but one authority, and that is the indi vidual conception of truth itself. Therefore, is absolute toleration of the views of others insist ed upon by theosophists. Man is not an exception to the universal law of perodicity, but governed by it. His periods of activity are the manv earth lives he lives: his periods of rest, death or interims existing between earth lives. The Soul, the Thinker, of each man is eternal as to past as well as to fu 1 ire, though the personalities as separate earth lives are called, are only transient phases of the Thinker and perishable. The Thinker is one ani rrnnl. the oersonalities are many and transient. Like an actor, the Thinker plays many parts, and each earth life is a part played in the drama of existence for the purposes of evolution. In each life wisdom is invoiveu through experience which on death of the body is added to the store involved in all previous lives. The Soul, or Thinker, is possessed of in finite capacity for development, for it is for the essence and potentiality of its source and goal. Deity, the Absolute, and requires infinitudes wherein to satisfv that capacity. Tnis earth atfords vast opportunities for that process, but one earth life is inadequate wherein to etiect the end. Furthermore, earthly existence alone atfords opportunities for the Soul's develop ment in view of its present status ami re.juir ments. Therefore it repeatedly returns to earth, and will continue to do so until it has exhausted all earthly possibilities for advancmeut : then and not until then, will it rise to higher spheres to continue its increasing progress. There ars no tin&lities. and eternity is constituted of infinite opportunities forexpansisn of the Soul's innnite capacity. Each earth life is an advance upon all oast lives. There is no retrogression. On death of the body the Soul never enters an ani mal or any lower kingdom of nature, but rein carnates in another human body in an environ ment suited to its further growth. The body a and condition in which it shall reincarnate, are determined by its thought and action of past lives. This is the law of Karma, and explains apparently nnjust sufferings of many, and the seemingly unmerited happiness of others. The former in past lives violated law. and now suffer; the latter violated no law then and there, and are now happy as a natural consequence. Thought and action are causes generating corresponding effects, uoxn louse in are a part of the actor, and he cannot escape from himself. There is, therefore, no ecape from consequences of thought and action. In Good Condition Financially I !" MIMDC A TVT r Ml Ml TVinH NEWS OF THE W0RL& G. W. Lance, a Foots creek miner, was in Medford this week upon busi ness. Himself, brother and father are extensively engaged in mining in the Foots creek district and are right now making ready for an ex tensive winter run The gentle man reports the prospects never better thati right now, notwithstanding the fact that mining has been carried on extensively in that locality for many years. Jos. Chapman was in- from the Applegate mining district this week. He reports that Dave Fry, the prin ter, and himself are taking out cood wages in gold and the ground grow ing better with each day's work. They have but recently shifted their work to other parts of the claim, where water and gold are more plentiful. These gentlemen deserve all the success that can convenient ly come their way. Frank F. Wilkins, of the C'oeur d'Alene country, with a party of prospectors, has made a rich strike, so it is reported at the railroad pass, near the head waters of the left fork of Evans creek, this county. On the 10th of October they dis covered a large porphyry reef, some 75 to 100 feet in width, which, when they come to test it, it proved surprisingly rich, getting as high as $1 to $1.50 from a single morter full. They are very much -excited over tiieir fortunate find and are endeavoring to keep it shady. EKAPS OK lioI.O Dl'ST AND M ;iKTS. From the Dally Oregunlan. A handsome display of Oregon gold, amounting in value to about $10,000, was on exhibition yester day at the Portland Safety Deposit Company in the Chamber of Com merce building. It consists of coarse and fine dust, and nuggets, running in value up to $110. and is part of the clean-up of the Sterling Mining Company's mine in Jack son county, of which Yin Cook is president and Harrv Ankenv vice- president and superintendent. The mine is tituated about tight miles south of Jacksonville, in the gold belt which produced sev eral millions in early days, and has been worked for 17 years. The company runs two "giants" and has a claim on the bed of a prehis toric river. The bank worked this season was 70 feet deep, and there is pay ground on the claims to last for twenty years, i he largest nug get, worth $110, was taken from within a foot of the surface, and the next largest, nearly the same THE GIST OF THE WEEK'U HAPPEN INGS AS TOLD BY TELEGRAPH.

At the quarterly meeting, in Roseburg last week. $21.5.43 in bills were passed upon, making the total expenditures for September. $976.71. This includes the travel ing expenses of the committee to and from Roseburg. There are now 62 inmates of the home. By virtue of United States statue providing for the maintenance of veterans kept in a home provided by the state, about 50 of these are entitled to $100 per annum. The expense go far has been kept within the $1000 per month appropriation, and the committee expects to preserve unused the government funds to the end of the year. This will leave a stipend of about $oOOU, with which a hospital for the home will probably be built.'' Josephine Ought to Thrive, Financially From the Grants Pass Courier L. Zeigler, who beat his wite a few weeks ago and was fined $50, repeated the act last week and cheerfully paid $100 more to the county treasurer. The family left for Roseburg last week, hoping evi dently to find some bourne where family quarrels don't come so high as in Grants Pass. When the officer went to arrest Zeigler the second time, Mrs. '.. remonstrated and said: "It's nobody's buisness if me and my old man fall out." It is said the money paid for the fines belonged to his wife. The pair have seven children. Team and Giant Powder Took a Drop. and wanted to see some of the gold, and to gratify them the display was made. Of course they do not tell how much their clean-up amounted to, but they say it was very satisfactory, and it is rumored that some 500 ounces were sent to the mint a short time since. There was a crowd around the window all day long, and many said the sight put them in mind of the palmy days of gold mining in Oregon, "the days of old, the days of gold, the days of '49," and the spring of '50 or thereabouts. WASHINGTON NOTES. From the Kirby Union. Last Thursday as the freight team on the Crescent City road was fAmin over the mountain, one of the horses became frightened and throwed the whole outfit over the o-raflp. The waeon was loaded with freight and giant powder there being 1000 pounds of giant powder on the wagon. The powder fell about GO feet and smashed the boxes all to pieces, but did not explode. It was a very lucky acci dent for it is a mystery that the powder did not explode. One of the horses was killed. Interacting Item Picked Out from II Daily DUpateka.

State Veterinarian Scott of Wiscon sin has discovered that under the vel low blossoms of the golden rod flower there lurks the germs of the most dan gerous disease to horses which has ever j been discovered. Like consumption it is incurable and it affects the animal in much the same way as that disease eats away the life of a man. The horses which eat the tempting plant go into a gradual decline, the blood is destroyed, the tissues wast away and ths animals die in from three weeks to as many months. Thousands of horses have per ished in the pinewood regions of Michi gan, Minnesota and Wisconsin from the disease. Mrs. John A. Grover died recently at Laramie, Wyo., of starvation. She bad taken no nourishment except a little milk for over two months. From 200 ponnds in weight she wasted away to 75 pounds. A peculiar circumstance was that the alimentary canal failed ab solutely to perform its function for sev eral weeks prior to her death. Physi cians offer explanations that some brain disorder interfered with the natural processes of the IkmIv. She lost her power of speech and apparently felt no pain from her disorder. Mrs. Grover was a half-sister of Mrs. Davids. Terry, who as Sarah Alt hen Hill became cele brated through a marriage contract in , California with Senator Sharon. POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

Ever pince Prof. Koch startled the world by promising to cure consrimption with the Koch lymph and his complete failure to do ?i, the people have been looking for some discovery which would prove an absolute, certain cure for that dread disease. Over a quarter of a century ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, put in a claim for a medicine, which he had discovered and used, in his extensive practice, that would cure ninety-eight per cent, of all cases of consumption when taken in all its early stages. Time has proved that his assertion was based on facts gained from experience. His "Golden Medical Discovery " has cured many thousand people in all parts of thr world, and Dr. Pierce invites all interested to send to him for a free book which gives the names, addresses and photographs of many prominent people who have willingly testified to the marvelous curative proper tics of his "Golden Medical Discovery." He has also written a Book of 160 pages on "Diseases of the Respiratory Organs, ' ' which treats of all Throat, Bronchial and Lung diseases, also Asthma and Catarrh, that will be mailed by the World's Dispensary Med ical Association of Buffalo, N. Y., on receipt of six cents in stamps, to pay postage. Consumption, as most everybody knows, is first manifested by feeble vitality, loss of strength, emaciation : then local symp toms soon develop, as tough, difficult breathing, or bleeding from lungs, when investigation proves that tubercular de posits have formed in the lungs. It is earnestly advised that the "Discovery" be taken early and the latter stages of the disease can thereby be easily avoided. To build up solid jffeii and strength after the grip, pneumonia, ("lung fever"), ex hausting fevers, and other prostrating dis eases, it nas no equal, it ooes not mate fat like cod liver oil and its nasty coin pounds, but, solid, uholesome JUsh.
