An Accommodating Tutor.

A romantic story is told of the late
DR.. Sumner, a Bishop in the English
Church. When young man he was
tutor to Lord Albert Conyngham, after
ward Lord Loudesborough, now de-
ceased, with whom he went to the Con
tinent. There the young Lord fell des-
perately in love with pretty Swiss girl,
whom he proposed to marry. The tutor
at once Informed the young mans
parents, and lamented the blindness of
his pupil. Lady Conynghim, with rare
tact, suggested that, in order to avoid
the danger so imminent, Sumner should
marry the girl, suggestion that was
promptly acted upon. Thus securing
the friendship of the Conynghams, Sum
ner was introduced at Court, was raised
from one post to another; till finally he
attained to his latest distinction, and the
girl who was not good enough to be a
Warehouses, came in the end to the
high honor of being Bishops lady.

Risks His Life on His Faith.

Professor White, champion swim
mer, recently consented to drown him
self in order that his theory of resusci-
tation might be tested for the benefit Of
the London Humane Society, who were
present to witness the experiment.
After laying down certain rulesfor hold
ing drowning person in the water, he
plunged into the river-the Serpent1ne,
probably, in Hyde Park-and remained
long enough under water to be partially
drowned. His son then dived after him
and brought him to the surface in an
lifeless condition, adhering
strictly to the principles laid down by
his parent. The breathless body was
then turned over to one of the Humane
Society's officers and put through the
course of treatment recommended. The
Society had the satisfaction Of seeing
Mr. White revive, and in a short time
return to the water without apparent
consequences, thus proving
his theory by Illustration at the risk of
death.

Bricks Twenty Centuries Old.

A correspondent of the Cleveland
Leader, writing from Persia, says :
Coming from Bagdad. which, in di-
rect line, is forty -four miles distant,
three immense mounds appear in sue
cession, which have the appearance OF
natural hills. But close examination
shows that they are composed of bricks,
and are the remains of large buildings.
These are on the East side of the Eu-
pirates, and the largest is about one
hundred and fifty feet in height. They
are supposed to be an ancient citadel
that defended this part of the town, the
Royal Palace, and Temple. How i'm
mense must the original buildings have
been, when it is considered that these
mounds have been the storehouses from
which, for twenty centuries, bricks Of
the finest description have been taken
to build the great Cities of Csesiphon,
Selucia, and Bagdad! Fragments Of
alabaster vessels and images, fine earth
enware, marble, and great quantities Of
enameled tiles, the coloring and glazing
of which are still surprisingly fresh,
can yet be found in these mounds. On
the face of every brick is stamped, id
cuneiform, the name and titles Of Nebu-
chadnezzar. They are all laid face
downward, and the cement in which
they are imbedded is SO hard that they
can only be detached with the greatest
difficulty.

New Chapel for Union College.

It may not be generally known, says
the Daily IN. Y. Saratogian, that the
chapel which is slowly rising on the
campus of the Union College grounds at
Schenectady is to be one of the most
elegant, commodious and costly college
chapels in the world. It's dimensions
are extraordinary for a building of it's
purposes. It is to be 100 feet in dame
ter, and rising from the floor to the
ceiling $50 feet. It is 16 sided. Be-
tween the entrances, on each side of the
three sides, are three windows with col
umns of Egyptian marble between
them. The building is constructed OF
marble and Ohio sandstone. It is to be
covered by an iron dome, which will be
surmounted by bronze statute Of DR..
Mott, which has been given by some
friends of Il doctor at an expense OF
100000. The bare walls have cost
100000, and $25O,OOO has been given
to complete the chapel. A gang Of men
are daily expected with the different
parts of the roof and dome. AS every
part is being accurately adjusted at the
place of manufacture, it will only be
necessary to place them in position,
which will occupy but few weeks.
For the entire completion, windows, sc. !,
negotiations are, we understand, on
foot, and the work will be pushed to a
close witho ut further delay.

"Jake'S'' Rat Trap.

The midland depot, at Hackensack, is
not only rendezvous for rats of a
human character, but is infested, like
wise with those of animal persuasion.
Almost any hour in the day, and night
too, they can be seen hopping out OF
the cracks in the platform in search OF
grain which is often left on the stoop.
The natty- looking assistant-tic agent,
jake" don't appreciate this kind of
pilfering, and is engaged in manufac-
turing an instrument of death which
will send the poor rat into eternity
without any time for devotional exer-
cises. Jake has partner in this un-
derstanding who resides in Patterson
and frequent visits are made there with
view of manufacturing the invention
as soon as practicable. A wire, attached
to a telegraph instrument, is extended
under the depot to the northeast corner
of the building where Mr.. Rat most fire.
quently makes his appearance, and here
is placed an ingeniously devised series
of springs, with some grain or other
tempting food placed near it. When
the rat touches the spring, Jake applies
his hand to the key Of the instrument,
and away goes the electricity upon its
murdero murderer mission. y result can be

FaneS in His Stomach.

There is a chaplin Staunton, Va, who
eats glass. 81 went out" says the
physician who describes it, "and secur-
ed a piece, about one third of a broken
pane, and brought in several friends to
witness the sight. He took the glass
and deliberately bit out a piece about
the size of a silver lf-dollar, and
chewed it up with as much gusto as if it
had been piece of bread, swallowed
it, taking afterward swallow Of bread
and water, he said, to get the particles
out of his teeth. He would have eaten
the whole piece if I had requested, as
he has frequently eaten tumblers for
drink of whisky. He said he would eat
any kind of glass except the colored
bottle-glass, which had poison il it. He
was first induced to try the experiment
about three years ago, at the Cape Of
Good Hope, by surgeon in the British
Navy, who bet he could eat all the glasses
eighteen in number) at dinner party,
which he did, and he sawno reason why
he could not do as much, SO he tried it
by eating only three. Since that time
he has eaten glass for the amusement of
others over a thousand times with no
disagreeable effect; the only difference
he sees is, it gives him an appetite.

Statistics of Rome.

Statistics of Rome, just published,
show that the city contains 24S, 1907 in
habitants. Rome is divided into A
parishes, each of which has it's parish
church, beside which there are 3O3
other churches. There are 2S3 schools,
95 of which are private, n religious,
Sc mixed, and IS municipal. There are
5 prisons, and police force of between
500 and 600. The amount of property
confscated throughout Italy by the
italian government since 1867, it is
stated, reaches the enormous sum of
100000 lire. This is the amount re-
allied by the sale of the property
Within the province of Rome alone the
government has come into possession
of 4, 1854 ecclesiastical Institutes of vari-
Gus kinds. The real owners of this
property are members of the Catholic
church throughout the world. And af-
ter taking the property the government,
instead OF reducing the taxes, has in-
creased them. A foreign correspond
ent writes that Italy is a hot-bed Of dis
content and revolutions; and that plots
and sedition, suicide, starvation and
brigandage are alarmingly frequent, and
that the future is dark and threatening.

Hydroph0bia: a Simple Precaution.

In the Medical Press and Circular,
DR.. Locke Johnson suggests that in
cases of injury from cat or dog bite
whether the animal be in rabid state
OF otherwise-a roller (garter, piece Of
cord, handkerchief, ETC., will answer the
purpose i'll an emergency should be at
once tightly applied above and below
(and also close toy the seat of injury,
and should not be removed for some
hours subsequent to cauterization.
When the rollers cannot be effectually
employed on account Of the position or
seat Of theinjury, compression all round
the wound should be made by firm
pads, pieces of cardboard perforated,
g1ltta perch, or other substances, and
the security of such compress maintain
ed by means of a roller drawn tight and
fastened. Thus the tendency to the
absorption Of the virus will be lessened,
and the pain usually produced by eau
terization-especially if the wound or
wounds be extensive-very much de-
creased.

Ancient Ruins i'm Mexico.

Among the recent discoveries of
ancient ruins in Mexico is that of an
artiticially executed grotto, fifteen miles
from Tancitaro, in the State Of Michoa-
can. This grotto is represented to be
OF immense depth and vast extent; the
remains of walls and arched corridors
are still to be seen, and many curious
specimens of the handiwork of an I'M
known race have been brought from
their subterranean palace. Two citizens
OF a neighboring village recently pene-
trated into the cavernous depths Of the
grotto and lost their way. Three days
and nights were spent in wandering
through the labyrinthine passages Of
this wonderful place before they found
an outlet from their strange imprison-
ment. Subsequent to this, competent
persons made more thorough examin-
alton Of the grotto, when the fact that
at some unknown period in the past it
had been shaped by hnman skill, and
walled In on every side by human hands,
was revealed. It is dark labyrinth,
surprising in extent and intricacy the
tabled one constructed by Dedalus.
The walls are of masonry, and the pas
sageways, which connect vast chambers,
are arched over with stone. These evil
dences of human labor and continuance
lead to the supposition that it is work
of an aboriginal race which long ago

An Old Church.

A famous old church of London is in
danger of being destroyed. The Eccle-
siastical Commission desire to remove
-Hallows, Bread street, to which on
December %, 1908, John Milton was
carried from the tavern of the Spread
Eagle to be baptized. A table records
the fact. This building, around which
many historical associations are gather
ed was erected in 1866, destroyed by the
fire of 1866, and rebuilt by Sir Chris
topher Wren. Fortunately the church
register was saved from the great fire,
and the original record of Millions bap-
tism is still to be seen. Among old
monuments the church contains, is one
to the memory Of former rector, the
Rev. Lawrence Saunders, who, in 1866,
was burned to death for persisting in
the reformed faith. The resident pa
rlsh1oners now number only fifty the
average congregation is nine persons,
aid a sermon once preached every
Thursday, for the support of which a
legacy was left the church in 1929, was
given up some time ago because no one
came to listen. This last is even worse

A Royal HunlOrist.

Frederick William ~ was strolling,
according to his wont, in one of the
public museums, the Queen at his side.
There they met the son of minister,
Count B, of the oldest blood in
Prussia. The young man was about to
graduate at the Berlin University, and
getting ready for the examination. The
royal couple addressed him kindly, in
quired regarding his studies, and wish.
ed him good luck with his examination.
A few weeks after they met him again.
He had been in the meanwhile examin-
ed and plucked-put back to try again.
The Queen, ignorant of this, asked,
graciously: "Well, Count, what luck
had you at examination ?'' The poor
fellow turned purple, and could not
bring forth word. It was horrible to
acknowledge his fate to her majesty.
But the King, who comprehending the
situation at once, said, quickly: :" Count
B did SO we'll that all the professors
cried da capo" (repeat.)

Gen. Jackson Protecting a Court.

Gen. Jackson was the Attorney-Gen-
eral for all Mid Ola Tennessee. The two
Kirkendalls ws 4he great DULLES OF
that creek. HAey were spirited and
powerful men. They held that the sit
ting Of the court taking such jurisdic-
ton invaded their dominions, and they
went in abullying mannerand dispersed
the court and ordered it never to meet
again. Gen. Jackson heard of it, and
attended the next term, carrying upon
his arm his saddle-bags, containing his
long black bulldogs. He placed his
saddle-bags in a corner of the house.
The justices took the bench, and the
sheriff proclaimed the court open. The
Kirkendalls appeared and ordered the
court to dispense. In the confusion and
terror Of the hour, the sheriff failed to
arrest the parties and restore order. At
this juncture Gen. Jackson appeared
before the court and denounced the
DULLES and their conduct, and told the
court if they would appoint him thei1
officer he would arrest them and have
order. His proposition was readily &C.
cepted. Jackson seized one of the
Kirkendalls, who was a terror to the
country. They clinched and got out
side, and being on the edge of the bluff,
the bully threw Jackson and they rolled
over and over down the bluff into the
creek. When the bully thoughthe had
conquered Jackson he left him. But
the old game-cock came rushing up the
hill, as wet as an otter in search of his
bulldogs. He grasped them, and point
ing one at each Of the DULLES, arrested
them and brought them before the
court. They were heavily fined, and
order was restored. and the thanks OF
the court were extended to Gen. Jack

Cold Water.

The following has been many times
published, but it will bear many more
repetitions
On certain occasion, one Paul Den
ton, Methodist preacher in Texas, adj
vertised a barbecue, with better liquor
than is usually furnished. When the
people assembled a desperate in the
crowd cried out: "Mr. Paul Denton,
your reverence has lied. You promised
not only a good barbecue, but better
liquor. Where's the liquor ?"
There ?" answered zihe missionary,
in tones Of thunder, and pointing his
long, bony finger at the matchless dou-
BILE spring, gushing up in two strong
columns, with a sound like a shout OF
JOY from the bosom of the earth.
'"There!" he repeated, with a look ter
rible as lightning, while his enemy ac-
tually trembled at his feet: "there is
the liquor which God the Eternal
brews for all his children. Not in the
simmering still, over smoky fires choked
with poisonous gases, and surrounded
with the stencil Of sickening odors and
