its present pretensions, is not only de,

1t is quite certain and probably alto

will elapse before judicial cognizance will
be taken of spiritualistic revelations. Our
whole system of jurisprudence and all
the well-settled laws of evidence will have
to be abolished or remodeled if parties

GOLD IN THE AIR:

The Oregon papers describe solre
boiling springs in Wasco county whence
flow streams Of chloride of silver. The
waters are SO surchaged with soapy gray
silver that a stone will not sink in them,
and when crowbar is forced down into
pool the specific gravity of the mass
will throw it back into the air like an
arrow shot from an Indians bow. The
amalgam is worth S9,000a ton, and there
are 100 acres of these springs. AS a
matter of course, the Comstock lode
will be abandoned and all Nevada will
move to Oregon A Gold Hill reporter
springs to the rescue of Nevada. The
streets in the town were macadamized
with silver ore of low grade from the
waste of the mines and are literally
paved with silver. A handful of gravel
which the reporter picked up in a
trench yielded 1926 gold and 1915
silver, the average being 6 to the ton.
The rarity of the atmosphere in these
Western town seems to favor ella sticity
of imagination.

dence, resolved to cause his nephew, with
the murderers, to be arrested. Before he,
reached home, he applied to the Mayor,
declared to him what he had seen and heard,
and requested him, by every means which
his functions would admit of, to carry out
his plan.
The Mayor, with much prudence, en-.
ployed the measures necessary in such
case, and, having arranged the plan with
the curate, the latter returned home. He
there found his nephew, who appeared
watching for his return.
II have had painful visit" said he TO
him, land want some refreshment. Go
down nto the cellar and bring me bottle
of wine, that we may partake of it."
The nephew hestated and endeavored to
persuade his uncle that he would do better
to go to bed.
"Well, then, will go to the cellar my.
SELF" said the curate, "since you fear to
put yourself out of the way to do me SER
vice."
In effect he arose to execute his design,
when the nephew, with an eagerness ac-
companied with excuses, told him he was
going to do what he desired. He descend
ed, but scarcely had he entered when the
curate closed the door upon him. The
nephew thought at first that it was only
trick, but soon after the Mayor arrived
with an escort, and the cellar door was
opensd. They found there the nephew,
with fifteen brigands, companions of his
crimes They recognized them to be the
individuals that the servant had described.
They were disarmed, bound and conducted
to the neighboring prison. Shenandoah

LONG LIFE

The Oldest woman in the world Is sup.
posed to be Mary Benton, now residing at
Elton, in the county of Durham, England.
She was born on the 18th of February,
1721,s and is, of course, in her 149th year..
She is in the possession of all her faculties,
perfect memory, hearing and eyesight.
She cooks, washes and irons, in the usual
family avocations threads her needle, and
sews without spectacles.
1t is matter of statistical fact that in the
district of Geezeh, which includes the pyra-
mids and population of 200, 900, there are
600 persons over 100 years of age, or one
in every 1888. Numaus de Cuyan, a native
of Bengal in India, died at the incredible
age of $40 years! He possessed great
memory even to his death. Of other aged
persons we might mention Mr.. Dobson,
aged 139, of Hadfeld, England, farmer.
His diet was principally fish, fruit, vegeta-
bles, milk and cider. Nnety-one children
and grandchildren attended his funeral.
John de la Sonnet, of Virginia, is 100
years old.
Old Thomas Parr, of Wilmington, Shrop-
shire, England, lived to the age of 152
years. He was first married at SO, and
second time at 100. He was covered from
head to foot all over with thick cover Of
hair.
Henry Jenkins lived to the extraordinary
age of 1863 years. At the age of 1G0, he
walked journey to London to see King
Charles II. The king introduced Jenkins
to his queen, who took much interest in
him, putting numerous questions to the pa
triarch, among which she asked: "Well,
my good man, may ask of you what you
have done, during the long period of life
granted to you, more than any other man
of shorter longevity?" The old man, look
ing the Queen in the face, with bow,
naively replied: "Indeed, madam, I know
of nothing greater than becoming father
when l was over a hundred years DID,"
He replied to the King that temperance
and sobriety of living had been the means,
by the blessings of God, of lengthening his
days beyond the usual time.
Edward Drinker, aged 1o3, of Philadel-
phia, rarely ate any supper.
Valentine Catchy, aged 116, at Preston,
near Hull, England His diet for the last
twenty years was milk and biscuit. His in-
| tellect was perfect until within two days Of
his DEATH There died in 1910, at Kingston
upon Thames, Surrey, Mr.. Warren, aged
120 years.-St Louis Post.

TIE STORY OF A CURIOUS AEs.
REST.

In February, 1918, curate in the SUBJ
urbs of Louvaine was sent to fulfill the last
duties with sick person. Having dis
charged them, he returned to his habita-
ton. 1t was night. In passing near q
house, he perceived light and the door
open. He entered, and what was his sur
prise at seeing a bloody corpse stretched
near the entrance. He recognized it to be
the body of the master of the house. A
little further he observed that of his unfor-
tunate wife, killed in the same manner
AT length, by the assistance of light, he
discovered in the chimney piece legs, which
gave several convulsive movements. It
was the female servant suspended by the
neck in the last agonies of death. He has
tened to cut the cord, and with much diff
Guilty restored her to the use of her senses
He interrogated the girl respecting the
circumstances of this horrid deed. She
hesitated for some time to give any expla-
nation. At last she told the curate that the
principal author of these assassinations was
his own nephew. She gave such an ac-
count of him that the curate could not mis-
conceive her description, and she also de-
scribed the villains that accompanied him.
Furnished with this information, the
ourate pursued his way to his own resi-

SUNS I'm FLAMES.

The catastrophe in the stellar system
the confa grafton of star-which caused
so much commotion in astronomical cir
cles a few months ago, is made the subject
Of an article in Belyracia by Richard A.
Proctor. He says that this catastrophe
happened probably hundred years ago;
the messenger which brought the news to
us, though travelling at rate sufficient to
circle the earth eight times in the course
of second, had trayersed millions upon
millions of miles before reaching US last
November. If similar accident happened
to our sun the creatures on that side of the
earth turned toward him would be de-
stroyed in an instant, and the rest very
quickly afterwards. The heavens would
be dissolved and the elements would melt
with fervent heat. The question is asked
whether the earth is in this danger, and
whether warning would be given of the
coming destruction2 The answer may
be gathered from the facts mentioned in
the article. There have been other solar
confagrations before that which was
made known last fall. The first on record
observed by Hipparchus-occurred 1000
years ago. 1t was seen blazing in full
daylight, showing that it was many times
brighter than Sirius, the blasting dog
star. 1t was called new star because it
had ever been invisible, until its conha-
grafton made its light temporarily visi-
bic.

THE st. Louis Post says, "Cincinnati
is agitated over the bar question" This
is mistake, it is the "beer" not the
"bar" question that agitates our people.
There is broad distinction. 1t is only
the novice or the stranger or the man in
great hurry that drinks his beer at the
bar. The beer drinker who feels an in
terest in this question always takes a
seat quietly at table upon which he
wraps with his knuckles till the foaming
schooner is set before him. Then he
pays his nickel, tackles sandwich to 60
with it, and sips and eats at his leisure.
That is the way beer is drunk in Cincin-
cinnati. There is no bar question in
yQlyed.

IT appears now that the scheme Of
uniting the Bulgarians, north and south
of the Balkans, under one Government,
as agreed upon in the treaty of San Ste
fano, was designed and suggested by an
American. Mr.. Schuyler, Consul Gen
eral, has that honor. Before the Confer
ence of the belligerents, which led to that
treaty, Ignatieff requested Mr.. Schuyler
Prince Tortelof, Secretary of the Russian
Embassy, and Mr.. Barry, Secretary of
the British Embassy, to prepare scheme
as bases for peace negotiations. In this
Mr. Schuyler advocated the union of the
three or four Bulgarian provinces under
one Government. The English Govern
ment reject the plan of an united Bull
garia, and the partition will probably be
one of the results of the present Congress
at Berlin, but, in any event, an Ameri-
can will have had the honor of putting a
finger in the European diplomatic pie.
"A VERY INTERESTING QUESTION.

the celebrated Vanderbilt will case is

decide some very novel questions in rela-

says "If you show that the Commodore
