The beautiful gem known as the tur-
quois is so celebrated for Its culiar tint
of blue that it has given q descriptive name
to that soft, rich color known rs turquois
blue. Yet, though SO lovely, the color is
not permanent, but chnnges and fades out
Ly age and exposure to the light. 1t is
said that the color can be restored by keep
ing the gem for, a long time in the dark.
There ara two kinds of tile turquois stone,
known as the oriental and the occidental
turquois. The former is the best and has
the most permanent color. 1t is found in
Turkey anu Persia, also in Siberia, and
has different chemical composition from
the latter. The occidental turquois is
found in Lower Langnedoc, in the south
east of France, and is fossil ivory,
colored with the phosphate of iron. The
other is q tri-phosphtte of alunina, and
derives its color from the oxides of iron
and copper. Truly this was ordinary stuff
for old Shyloek to prize SO highly when he
mourned over his runaway daughters ex.
travagance in giving his ring for mon-
key aud exeluimed:-
1T was my turquois; L had it of Leah
when I was bachelor Il would not
have given it for wilderness of mon
keys"
But there was probably trace of an
cieut still left in the hard heart of the Jew,
and sentiment is a great alchemist in turn

MUSCULAR development is an excellent
thing in preacher. As the Rev. DIR. J.
Pinkney Hammond, Of Baltimore, who is
a man of herculean proportions, was on
his way to his Sabbath services his at
tention was attracted by the screams of a
woman in distress. He FASTENED to the
spot from whence the cries proceeded
and found a miserable wretch beating
his wife with pitchfork. The doughty
doctor, without hesitation, seized the
monster and punished him corporeally
and severely, and then proceeded to his
church, having undoubtedly saved the
life of the poor woman.

A EELL STRUCK HY LIGHTNING

The Troy Times says: Three years ago
NJ neely & Co., of West Troy, sold fire
alarm bell to the city of Detroit, and the
bell has been returned to the foundry to he
recast. The circumstances attending the
fracture, as we'll as the fracture, are pecul-
lar, the bell having been struck by light
ming. The lightning WAS undoubtedly at
tracted by the large bolt by which the bell
was suspended, aid for space Of ten
inches the subtle fluid appears TO have cut
entirely through the bell, that distance be-
ing marked by black line, and this ac-
ton sufficiently heated the top to allow a
portion of it to bend like Il partially opened
hinge. The long iron bolt was bent like q
|; tier S, and the sides of the springs were
brought together. Meneely & Co. have
been in business ffty-two years, and this
is the first time in their experience TINT a
bell has been broken by Lightning, and SO
fur as they are aware it is the only case on
record.

Miss CoRsoN, of the New York Cook
ing School, holds that the laboring classes
waste largely and make no use Of certain
cheap and nutritious foods. She asserts
that family of six can live comfortably
on meals which will not cost an average
of over Is cents each, and in illustration
she publishes bill Of fare for family of
six for one week, beginning with Monday
mornings breakfast, which is composed
of: Johnny cake, cents; cocoa, 6 cents,
and broiled herring, 5 cents. One can
imagine hungry Iaboring man sitting
down to this repast and the five remain
ing members of his family standing by
wondering what will be left for them of
this economical meal. The five cents
worth of Johnny cake would disappear.
so rapidly that Miss Corson would wink
her eyes; and if the laboring man did
not swallow down the cocoa and herring
and call for more he would not be a rep
resentative laboring man by any means
There is, no doubt, room for reform in
this matter indicated by Miss Corson,
but like most of our economical reform
ers, she draws it little too fine

SINGULAR coincidents sometimes occur
in cases where the circumstances and
conditions seem widely different Benz
Hunter was recently convicted of murder
in the first degree at Camden, New Jer,
sey, on the charge of taking the life Of
his business partner, Armstrong, in order
that he might recover from the insur-
ance companies the amount of insurance
on the murdered mans life. There was
no question but what Armstrong was
brutaIly murdered. The conviction of
Hunter depended mainly upon the testi-
mony of man by the name of Graham,
who testified that Hunter employed him
to kill Armstrong; that he did actually
strike the first blow, and then ran away
from the job, leaving Hunter to finish
it. There was corroborativs evidence
sufficient to lead the jury to find Hunter
guilty. If he was guilty the murder was
simply money transaction, as there was
no appearance of malice on the part of the
accused towards his victim. An applica-
ton was at once made for new trial and
a consequent stay of execution. Owing

and Pho Tavassrio, both twenty zone years
Of age, walked into the hotel, and after .
few words with the watcbman they stepped
into the space between the Office and dining
room, and each pulled ont Smith &

out in the still air, and on rushing out to
see the cause, the two men were found to
have shot themselves.
1t was discovered that one of them was
probably fatally injured, the ball having
penetrated the brain, while the other had
only succeeded In inflicting . serious scalp
wound. The two men were escorted to the
Pennsylvania Hospital, where their wounds
were dressed. The affair was done SO quietly
that NO one In the house except those who
witnessed the occurrence knew anything Of
the affair until morning.
They had been employed at the Girsrd
House, one ss cashier In the barroom and
the other as waiter, and the latter had beer
