Ctal THE BOEDER STAR. Lot Bit Ink Aataf Xh the early days ot Methodism in Scotland, a certain congregation, where there waa bat on rich man, desired to build a new chapel. A charch meeting was held. The old rich Scotchman rose and said: "Brethren, we dinna need a new chapel: I'll give 5 for repairs." Just then a bit of plaster tailing fro at the ceiling bit him on uw head. Looking up and seeing how bad it was, he said "Brethren, it 'a worse thoa I thoacht; I'll make it 50 pun." "Oh, Lord'exclaimed a devoted brother on a back seat, "hit 'im again There are many hnman tabernacles which are in sore need of radical building over, but we putter and fuss and repair in cpote without satisfactory results.

It is only when we are personally alarmed at the real danger that we act independently, and do the right thing. Then it is that we most keenly regret; because we did not sooner use oar judgment, follow the advice born of the experience of others and jump away from our perils. Thousands ot persons who wiQ read this paragraph are in abject misery to-day when they might be in a satisfactory condition. They are weak, lifeless, fuU of odd aches and pains, and every year they know they are getting wone, even though the best doctors are patching them in spots. The origin, of these aches and pains ia the kidneys and liver, and if they would build these ail over new with Warner's safe cure as millions have done, and cease investing their money in miserably unsuccessful patchwork, they would be well and happy and would bless the day when the Lord "hit 'em" and indicated the common-sense course for them to oursue.

London Preas. Katt, Baxwell spoke to him, shook hands and avowed his forgiveness of all wrong done or attempted. The executioner adjusted the death-cap, but as he was about to draw the bolt young Katt cried to bim to desist, as he could explain all. The old man's forgiving words had caused him to relent in his fell purpose, and he explained that the daughter was living, that he had.married and secluded her from the world, where she knew nothing of the prosecution of her father. That in reyenge for the slights that had, been put on him by the old gentleman he bad secreted the bloody bair and dress fragments in the cave and had himself given vent to the cries of distress that had so alarmed the neighbors and had been the original cause of directing the foul suspicion of murder against the father.

This surprising lan- fuage caused the executioner to stay is hand, but it was too late. When the the black cap was drawn from the head of the unfortunate old man he was found dead. Imagination had killed him. Katt was punished for his his unfortunate wife retired to a convent. The famous Webster-Parkman case has been fully recounted by the press.

It only remains, therefore, to call attention to one almost precisely similar in its main features, which was also tried in Boston, but in which the strong chain of circumstantial evidence was completely refuted by the skillful presentation of the case for the defense. The case was that of Leavitt Alley, who was tried in February, 1873, for the murder TRAVELING IN I70O. The Vehicle used hy the ColosVU COO Years ago. The Virginia planter of the richer sort, who was said to live with more show and luxury "than a country gentleman in England on the estate of three or four thousand pounds a a strong liking for the stately six-horse coach, with postilions; but it was not ontil 1720 that wheeled carriages were recognized in the legal price-list of the Virginia ferries, In the other colonies, also, the coach was valued as a sign ot official or family dignity, and some of the. richer Carolinians carried "their luxury so far as to have carriages, horses, coachmen, and all, imported from but in Carolina, and everywhere north of Virginia, the light open -'chair" or the covered chaise was generally preferred.

These were better suited to the roughness and sinuosity of the roads than the coach. The chaise was a kind of two-wheeled gig, having a top and drawn sometimes by one, and sometimes by two horses; the chair had two wheels, but no top; the sulky, which was much used, differed from the chair chiefly in having room for but one person. Ail these seem to have been hung on straps, or thorough-braces, instead of springs. Boston ladies in the middle of the eighteenth century took the air in chases or chairs, with negro drivers. Boston gentlemen also affected negro attendants when they drove their chairs, or rode on saddle-horses.

But in rural regions, from Pennsylvania northward, ladies took delight in driving about alone in open chair3, to the amazement of European travelers, who deemed that a paradise in which women could travel without protection. Philadelphians were fond of a long, light, covered wagon, with benches, which would carry a dozen persons in an excursion to the country. Sedan-chairs were occasionally used in the cities. The Dutch introduced sleighs into New York at a very early date; but sleighs for pleasure, though known in Boston about 1700, only came into general use in the northern provinces at a somewhat later period. The first stage wagon in the colonies was run from Trenton to New Brunswick, twice a week, during the summer of 1728.

It was a link in the tedious land and water journey from Philadelphia to New York, and travelers were promised that it would be fitted up with benches, and covered over, so that passengers may sit easy and dry.

The landlord of the inn, who was a desperate character. noticed that the first-named traveler carried a large Bum in cash, and resolved to gain possession of it if possible. In the middle of the night he crept into the bed-chamber where bis guests lay, and nnaing idem in a sound sleep be naa probably drusxed their wine for the oc casion he drew the sword of traveler number and with it slew the possessor of the coveted wealth, which he carried off, having first returned the bloody sword to the sheath of the inno cent sleeper. Xhe latter awofce before daylight, and failing to arouse his companion from what he conceived to be a remarkably profound slumber, went on nisway alone, anortly anerwaratne landlord crave the alarm of murder, the neighbors were aroused and pursuit of tne departed man was instituted, ae was soon overtaken, and the circum stances having been all related, and the bloody sword found on his person, be was DromDtlv taken to Rome and pros ecuted for the murder which he had not committed. A yen famous case of miscarriage of justice was that-ol Lie 15 run.

tie was valet to a lady of fashion named Lady Maze, who lived in Paris. Le Brun slept in a room connecting with the main hall of the house, and his mistress in a room on the second floor. It was his custom to take orders from her the last thing of night, and then, withdrawing with her maids from her bed-room, to leave the key of the room on a chair on the inside and close the door, which shut with a spring lock and could only be opened from the inside. On the night of the murder all went on as luual. Le Brun, after closing his lady's door, went down stairs and, according to his statement, sat down before the kitchen lire and fell asleep.

Upon awakening, after a period that he estimated at an hour, be went into the hall, and findinsr the street door open, locked it and retired. In the morning his mistress being much later in appearing than usual, Le Brun became alarmed- and sent for Lady Mazel's son, M. de Sa- voniere, wno said, sometning aoout nis fear of apoplexy. Le Brun said: "It must be something worse," and spoke of finding the street door open the nisrht before. He seemed very much excited, and when a locksmith had been sent for and the door of the lady's chamber broken open, he was the first to rush to the bed, and draw ing aside the curtains exclaimed: "Oh.

my lady is murdered!" Then running to" the wardrobe he lifted the strong box, and, finding it heavy, he added: bhe has not been robbed. How is this?" The body was covered with wounds, and the hands particularly, showing that a desperate struggle for me had taken place. Le urun was arrested and put to the torture to compel confession, the theory of the prosecut- lug umcers oem mat lie iiau jet iu accomplice during the night, who had Cerfonned the bloody deed, and then een as secretly let out. This theory was supported by the fact that when Le Brun was searched they found upon him a key, the wards of which had been enlarged by filling, and which was found to open the street door, the antechamber, and both doors in Lady Ma-zel's chamber. If Le Bran was innocent, why had he not used this key to make a way into the bedroom instead of sending for a locksmith to break a way in? The only defense was a straight denial of guilt supported by the long and faithful service of the accused man.

As has been stated, he was put to the torture, and this was done with such severity that he died in a few days from his injnries. Within a month after the real culprit, a discharged footman named Berry, was found and executed. One of the saddest cases on record is that of Eliza Fenning, a young and beautiful girl who unjustly suffered the extreme penalty under the old Draconian English law of 1815, for the offense of, as was alleged, administering poison with felonious intent. She was employed as a servant in the house of a family in Chancery lane, and one day the whole family, including herself, tell sick with symptoms of arsenical poisoning, investigation showed that some dumplings which she had made were strongly impregnated with arsenic, and she was arrested. The facts that she had eaten and suffered with the rest, and that she had made no attempt to remove the evidences of guilt, if guilt there had been, were not permitted to weigh at all in her favor.

In his account of the case Sir Samuel Romilly says: 'The Recorder appeared to have conceived a strong prejudice against the prisoner; in summing up the evidence he made some very unjust and unfounded observations to her disadvantage, and she was convicted." Petitions for commutation of the sentence were signed by thousands and presented to the Crown, but all in vain. She died on the scaffold between two hardened criminals, her last words to the prison clergyman being: "Before the just and Almighty God, and by the faith of the holy sacrament that I have received, I am innocent of the offense of which I am charged." As she stood clothed in white before the people, with the guilty ruffians for companions, the voice of the multitude was hushed, all eyes were dim with tears and every voice prayed for her. Said a bystander: "As all three stood under the beam, beneath the sun she looked serene as an angel." Then came the awful discovery. It was shown within a few days after the execution that the crime had been committed by a maniac member of her employer's family, who, conscious of his murderous tendencies, had begged, begged in agony, to be put under restraint before he committed some mortal mischief. It was also shown that the fact was known to her employer and the Recorder at the time of the trial, but that the brutal Judge refused to allow it to come up in evidence.

Here it was because all the circumstances of the case were not permitted to be presented to the jury that the judicial murder was perpetrated. Phillips, in his "Famous Cases," relates several remarkable instances in which circumstances were invented or contrived so as to throw suspicion on the wrong person and bring about his death while the guilty went free. The Baxwell case is, perhaps, the most remarkable of all. and the relation of it here will also serve to dispel the idea that in order to trial of a murder case, it is necessary always first to show the corpse or as some, ignorantly misusing the law phrase, term it, the corpus delicti. The affair happened in 1841 at Gibraltar, where one James Baxwell, a wealthy merchant, was residing with his daughter.

The girl loved and was beloved by one William Katt, but the father opposed the union fiercely on religious grounds, he being a Catholic and Katt a Lutheran. This Ted to repeated quarrels between father and daughter, and the former was heard to declare that be would sooner kill the girl than that she should marry the man of her choice. Two days later distressing cries were heard proceeding from a deep cave adjoining the merchant's bouse, the cries gradually dying away into sobs and finally f-ilence. The girl was missing from that time, and as the father, when interrogated, angrily disclaimed any knowledge of her whereabouts, suspicion was aroused and a search instituted. In the cave were found a blood-stained poition of the daughter's dress and a small lock of hair resembling with blood.

Upon these facts the father was accused, tried, found guilty and sentenced to death, At the taffojil, where stood Style and Fabrics That Fleas Eastern Women. Canvas and lace woven stuffs are all the rage. Tucked skirts are much worn here and in Europe. Jersey webbing cloth is used for many bathing suits. i Bathing suits grow more fanciful from season to season.

Tinsel cord is to take the place of tinsel braid in dress and military next all. Fancy red bathing suits brought from Paris are occasionally seen on our beaches.

Red and blue remain the favorite col ors for combination in seaside wraps and frocks for ordinary wear along the Color on the edge is considered the proper and desirable thing in percale, linen or lawn collars and cuffs for traveling wear. Some ladies prefer a red silk bandana kerchief or one of plain Turkey red cotton to any other covering for her head when bathing. Sashes of moire, surah and all sorts of soft, crapy silken and woolen stuffs are in high favor, and are worn in al most every style preferred.

Colored and white lawn collars. pleated and soft laundried, not stiff with starch, are taking the place of white linen bands for traveling and morning wear. The latest fancy in head ornamentation is to put pendant strands of copper or lead beads or procelain imitations of the aame on red serge and red flannel jack' ets for seaside wear. Baby waists gathered on to yokes and belts at the waist line, worn with full gathered or pleated skirts, which may be tucked and trimmed with embroidery, but not flounced, are the features of the little girls dresses. American bathing suits are very plain blouses with medium length skim and half-long trousers; dark blue and gray are preferred colors, with white or red braid trimming.

Serge flannel is the material. Undressed kids or Suede gloves in tan shades remain the favorite wear for dressy toilets, but fine silk gloves in tan shades are also worn with such dresses, while fine lisle thread gloves arc considered the correet wear with wash fabric frocks, no matter how handsome the make and material. Philadelphia Frets. SHEER WOOL FABRICS. The Fashionable Tend'-nctes Toward Veilings and Mohair Dresses.

The sheer wool fabrics known as veiling now come in qualities to suit all purses; those at fifty cents to seventy-five cents a yard are double width, and only eight yards are required to make simple and graceful dresses. Lavender, pale blue, rose and cream white are the choicest colors for these dresses, and a pretty fancy is to trim them with many rows of the white satiQ ribbons that are now sold by the piece at very low prices. These white rows or bands are used as borders, and are very effective on light blue, pearl, or white veilings. The skirt may have a pleating at the foot with three or four rows of the ribbon upon it, but plain fckirts'are used also with satin ribbon borders; these are simply straight breadths sewed to a foundation skirt just high enough for the top to bo concealed by the long drapery. This drapery is also a straight piece, taken the length of the fabric, without scams, caught up on the left side to the hip, or left open on that side (and trimmed up with rows of ribbon.) White veiling, bordered with stripes of navy blue, of dark red, or of golden brown woven near one selvedge, is made up in this way for country toilettes for midsummer.

Among other inexpensive fabrics are the white mohairs with small figures of olive green, dull red, or blue, sold foi fifty or sixty cents a yard. The white and olive patterns are made up with a vest and skirt panel of olive velvet, and there may be folds of white mohair arranged in clusters across the velvet-For other mohair dresses rhere are pleated kilt skirts with crossed scarfs at the top, long poiated back drapery, and a plain basque, without trimming. The Pompadour colors of pink with blue are seen on these mohairs, while others have dark green and red figures, and are then combined with changeable red and green snrah. Pearl-colored mobair is prettily made up with a pleated vest of white canvas, and canvas facing on the front and sides of the lower skirt. Harper'' a Bazar.

Sowing Salt With Grain. I sowed the salt when the wheat was from six to eight inches high. Among the marked results was a strong and vigorous growth of the plant, causing the wheat to head a week earlier. The straw standi up straight and stiff and does not crinkle down, thereby enabling us to cut the last one hundred acres as clean as the first- Th wheat gives a plump, heavy berry and yields from three to five bushels more per acre than if sowed without salt, and is uniformly of a better grade, last year testing sixty-three pounds per bushel. When I first began to sow salt 1 left strips across the field to test the difference.

These strips were very noticeable all summer, as the wheat did not grow nearly as tall and thick as where the sa't was sowed, and even after the whsat was cut I could see a difference in the stubble, the strips being crinkled and of not so bright color. These fields when sowed to clover yielded tremendous crops, which show the benefit of salt on grasn lands. I have never tried it on oats, but would not raise a crop without salt. Cor. Concord (X.

II.) PcopU. The Stables in Summer. With summer stables the great fact seems to be in the matter of ventilation, and the close barn in the morning is often filled with the fumes of pungent ammonia and the odors of the floor. Horses and cattle are not near so liable to be frozen in the winter as they are ot being stifled with fonl air in the Bummer." There are many farmers who krep stables scrupBlously clean at i.11 seasons, and others make spasmodic efforts to do so by using grat quantities of lime, plaster and like material to absorb and "kill" bad smells. Of all material dry sand or dust is best, as tb5 caustic properties of lime are absent and there can be no possible damage done to the fiesh of the animals.

MIND-CURES. A Medical Authority's Opinion of the Sew Fangled Curative Process. Boston has come to the conclusion that "as man thinketh, so is he." If he thinks he is sick he is sick, very sick. The cure for this is to think he is well, and, presto, he is well. This, as far as we can find out, is the suit- and substance of the mind cure.

New York need not be jealous that Boston discovered this wonderful thing. New York is given over to money-making irretrievably, it is to be feared; while Boston is given over to physics, including alj the phases of thought, transference, mind reading, and tfte like. What wonder that metaphysical medicine makes a stride in this hothouse air? Pagan Boston and it is now fashionable to be a pagan in Boston indorses as heartily "the mind cure" as a portion of Christian Boston supports the faith cure. In Boston classes are formed and educated in the mind cure. To practice it one must be truly higli-minded and free from all moral taint.

A tract written by one of the busiest of the practitioners of this kind of healing art is before'us, in which is epitomized in a remarkable manner the method of the mind cure: 'It is in the realization of the absoluteness of the Real and ephemeral nature of the Unreal that we do our work." Again we quote, for it is by using the words of the exponents of the theory that one can acquit himself of accusations of exaggeration and misrepresentations. "In the case of a cold sore on the lip, one must separate the natural thought from the spiritunj, not necessarily in these words, but in some way to make the distinction marked between the Real and the Unreal, the free and universal mind and that which is trammeled and entangled in the yoke of bondage. The natural mind will bring the thought of throbbing and beating that inflammation asserts itself with; the cause will come also as cold. The spiritual mind will bring the thought, What is there in my lip to have in tl animation One must realize there is nothing there but life. All life flows from the infinite fountain of life, is perfect, and not subject to atmospheric changes; therefore the lip cannot have inflammation.

One must realize that it cannot exist if not nourished. Now, being a free agent of one's will, he chooses the free, real perfect mind, and says to the other thought, I have no sympathy with you, I do not desire you, you cannot assert yourself to my mind; for I am the recipient of infinite intelligence, and know you are only an appearance, have no reality in you; for if you were real you would be eternal and never You become separated from it, and mind, which is infinite, controls all thing."

A Fair Income, Outside the House of Commons, most persons are of opinion that 700,000 per annum is quite enough for the maintenance of the royal family, and that this amount ought not to be increased. Why, then, is this opinion so little represented inside? Because M. are human, and their wives are also human.

An M. P. who votes against a royal grant has an uncomfortable feeling that he is, perhaps, damaging his social position of that of Mrs. M. p.

Why sensible people out of the Hotue of Commons are opposed to the increase of these grants is, because the 700,000 per annum now allotted to the royal family is not spent, and the civil list was never intended to enable its recipients to lay by private fortunes. If they can do this, it is obvious that they have the means to provide I or their children. craves Trut nra ana f-ropnotora. COLUMBUS, KANSAS. BESSIE AT CHURCH.

AUUn lirainurd, in Greenfield Oazrtte. JUDICIAL ERRORS, A Chapter on the Value of Circumstantial Evidence. There is a common but most unreasoning feeling in the public mind that circumstantial evidence is the least trustworthy of all on which to base the conviction of one accused of crime. So strong is this prejudice that many skillful advocates make successful use of it in their arguments for the defense, and actually succeed in compelling juries to return verdicts contrary to their own settled convictions, lest they should be misled by circumstantial evidence. But the actual fact is that a very large majority of convictions necessarily result from circumstantial evidence; and while somo errors have arisen, their number Is so small in proportion to the vast mass of just verdicts, that they are hardly worthy of consideration, except as parts of the history of the curiosities of law, or as warnings for the cautious use of all classes of testimony in reaching a conclusion.

In order to get a clear understanding of the subject in discussion it is necessary first to start with something like a definition of what is meant by circumstantial evidence. After that, the cases noted below will supply the argument. most lucid statement of the point is briefly made in "Ram on Facts," a book well known to law students, and one which is written in a clear and entertaining style that would make it as acceptable to the ordinary reader as the latest novel, were it not that the forbidding sheep-skin binding and the name 'Law-book" prevents any but professional men looking within its covers. For that matter, thero is much entertainment, as well as instruction, to be found in the pages of every well-written legal text-book; but the general public seems bent on shutting its eyes to the fact. This probably is fortunate for the lawyers.

Kara says: "These facts (the testimony,) ranged in their proper places, as time and other incidents require, form a story. Often there is evidence of every part of the story; to complete the tale there is not wanting direct evidence of any fact. In other cases the facts proved by direct evidence form an incomplete story; the chain of facts composing it is imperfect; to complete the chain there is wanting evidence of some link in it. In a case of this sort the missing fact can sometimes jbe supplied by the facts proved by direct evidence; from these facts the one missing may be inferred. The circumstances proved by the direct evidence supply the inference; they are thus themselves evidence, although not direct, of the fact wanting; nna they, united with the inference, constitute what is called circumstantial evidence.

To draw the inference is the provinco of the It would be dillicult to lind anywhere, or for the most accurate thinker and writer to phrase anew, a more perfect definition of what is meant by the legal phrase circumstantial evidence. Take the Maxwcll-Preller case for instance, and see how the definition applies. In order to do this we must suppose that Maxwell is here and upon his trial; that the body found at tho Southern Hotel has been fully and completely identified as that of Prcller; that Trailer was murdered; that Maxwell was the last man known to be in his company when he was alive; that Maxwell, in his flight, csrricd away valuable personal property known to hare belonged to Freller, and that the amount of the valuables so carried off would, in consideration of the proven action and character of the accused, have furnished a probable motive for the commission of the crime. All these points, except the last, which, as is the case in judging all human motives must be matter of inference, are subject to direct proof or disproof. If proven beyond a doubt, then the inference will be irresistible that Maxwell committed the murder, and all taken together, the direct testimony and the final inference on which all will hinge, will comprise one mass of circumstantial evidence.

This particular case is referred to, not for the Y.urPose pro-judging Maxwell, but simply to illustrate tho subject under consideration with a story that is now exciting popular attention the world over. Yet, thongb. circumstantial evidence holds this high rank in the estimation of lawyers, the books are full of cases in which the strongest of such evidence has proved the most misleading and has brought upon innocent heads the penalty of crime. Cicero relates a 'remarkable case in pint: A nfan going to market with a Bora of money in his possession was overtaken. by another, a stran-per to him.

The two fell into conver-eatioB, and a mutual Jikln Laving No Cholera Where There was Copper. "There was a curious feature of the outbreak of cholera in 1849 that has not been referred to in recent years," a physician said yesterday. "It was observed that no workmen engaged in copper mines or in manufacturing any sort of article out of copper, or in handling copper ore was afflicted with cholera. M. Andrand demonstrated that there was much less electricity in the air in those parts of Paris where the cholera raged most fcarfullv than in the other parts of the city.

The two discoveries were put together, and it was inferred that the galvanic action generated by the copper acted as a preventative. It may be that the copper absorbed into the system of the work men served as an antidote. At any rate, the action of copper in alleviating some Kind or cramps is wetl Known, and there will be no harm in wearing strips of clean copper or of copper and zinc next to the body, as has been recommended by the English phvsi-Cian."

Speaking of the similarity between it and the Webster case, Phillips says: "There is at many points a wonderful parallelism in tne two trials.

The victims were both men of wealth and of strikingly similar habits; both were hard creditors, and the incentive alleged in each case was the inability of the murderer to meet a certain payment." Some workmen near the Cambridsre Gasworks discover ed two barrels containing the mutilated body floating in the Charles River. They were packed with horse manure and shavings, and in one oi tne oarreis was found a piece of brown paper with the name of M. Schouler, a billiard-table manufacturer, on it. It was then learned that Leavitt Alley, a teamster, was in the habit of removing Schouler's shavings to his stable. The stable was examined, and it was found that a dry manure heap had been recently disturb ed, while spots of blood were found on the boards near by.

It was then tihown that Alley had staited on the morninsr previous to finding the remains from his stable with a load of four barrels, two of then heavy, only two of which could afterwards be accounted for, while one witness also testified that he had seen a man (strongly resembling Alley upon the milldam, where the barrels that were found were supposed to have been thrown into the river. It also came to light that Alley owed Ellis $200, for which he had been repeatedly and persistently dunned; that a new ax which Alley had pur chased was missing; that blood-stains, identified by experts as not only human blood, but the blood of the murdered man, were found on Alley's clothing; that a woman had heard strange noises in the stable the night of the murder, and that Alley was abundantly supplied with money the day after the mur der, although he had been known to be hard up before that time. All this tes timony was entirely circumstantial and, standing by-itself, the inference of guilt would have been conclusive. Uut counsel for the accused went through each item of it with the most painstaking skill. One by one the points for the prosecution were turned.

The result was, after a nine days' trial, and one of the most memorable struggles in the history of our criminal jurisprudence, that the accused was triumphantly acquitted. Had the trial occurred at an earlier date, when juries and courts were more inclined to lean to the side ol severity than mercy, the result would probably have keen widely different. M. Louis lobe-Democrat. BOILINGS WATER.

A Process Which Should Be More Generally Appreciated. I wish to call the attention of your readers to the beneficial effect of boil ing, in increasing tne potability of water, a fact which does not appear to be jnerally appreciated or understood, ad this practice prevailed on the first outbreak of the typhoid disease at -Plymouth, it is very probable that the number ol cases of illness and of deaths might have been very greatly dimin ished. Jn cholera seasons this treatment is especially important, as water is largely the medium of introduction of the injurious influences into the sys tem, imnng tne centennial Exhibition was stationed in West Philadelphia, near the Centennial buildings, for six months, and although cases of diarrhoea were prevalent all around me. the use of boiled water appeared to be an abso lute preventive. We had several cases of illness of this class before we began to use this very simple precaution, 'but none afterward.

The fishy taste of the Potomac water at the present time, due to the solution in it of decomposed vegetation, or of fresh-water sponges, can aiso do in great measure removed by the same process. I have usually enough water boiled in the morning to last through the day. This is placed in a large water-cooler, without ice, and drawn from when required to fill ice-pitchers, etc. The water should boil actively for half an hour, in order to kill the germs of disease. Of course this is only effective in case of organic impurities, as mineral poisons would not be destroyed thereby.

Prof. Baird, in Washington Star. Final preparations are now making at Philadelphia for an expedition to Vigo, Spain, in search of the Spanish treasure galleons sunk in the bay in 1702. An engineer, who visited the spot last summer, declares that he has positively located eleven of the sunken treasure galleons, and, in a d.ver suit, went down upon the decks of several of them, which were lying at the depth ot thirty or forty feet below the snnace. ltti a charge of dynamite he blew off the deck of one of them, and laid bare the general cargo, which consisted of huge logs of mahogany and logwood in perfect preservation.

He also picitea up coins from the deck, and iron balls, mementoes of the sea fight of 183 years ago.

Reasons Why the Kgyptian Pyramid Should be 'Kxplorrd. Now that Great Britain is dominant at Cairo, would it not be a good idea to clear away the sand and rubbish from the Great Pyramid, right down to its rocky foundation, and try to discover those vast corridors, halls and temple, containing priceless curiosities and treasures with which tradition in all ages has credited the Great Pyramid? This wonderful building, of such exquisite workmanship, was erected many years before any. of the other pyramids, which are only humble imitations, built by another nation, and also for other purpofes; for neither King Cheops nor anybody else was ever interred beneath this mighty mass of stone. The smallest pyramids also exhib't neither the nicety of proportion nor the exactness of measurement, both of which characterize the first pyramid. From internal evidence it seems to have been built about the year 2170 b.

a short time before ths birth of Abraham, more than 4.000 years ago. This one of the seven wonders of the world in the days of ancient Greece is the only one of them all still in existence. The base of this building overs more than thirteen square acres of ground. Its four sides face exactly north, south, east and west. It is situated in the geographical centre of the land surface of the globe.

It was originally 435 feet high, and each of its sides measures 762 feet. It is computed to contain tons of hewn stones beautifully fitted together with a mere film of cement. And these immense blocks of stone must have been brought from quarries 500 miles distant from the site of the building. The present well-known King and Queen chambers, with the various passages, might also be thoroughly, examined by means of the electric or lime lights. The Astronomer Royal of Scotland some years since closely and laboriously examined all that is at present known of the interior of this enormous building.

He etates that the measurements in the chambers, etc, show the exact length of the cubit of the Bible namely, twenty-five inches. This cubit was used in the building of Noah's Ark, Solomon's Temple, etc. He also maintains that the pyramid shows the distance of the sun from the earth to be 91,840,000 miles. Cor. St.
