Companies Organized TO Make coffee
From Dates.

The people of the United States are soon
to have an opportunity to invest large sums
Of money in a wild speculation now occupy
ing the attention of the English public. This
project is for making coffee out Of dates A
company has been formed in London called
the Date Coffee Company which proposes to
revolutionize the coffee trade Of the world.
1t has issued flaming prospectus and has
expended large sums Of money il advertising
and has actually succeeded III selling its
shares in the English market at $3.50 each,
the par value being only $25, and all this be-
fore the company has made dollar of legi-
innate profit or fairly begun operations.
The originators Of this bold scheme have
succeeded so we'll in England that they have
already turned their attention to America,
and they are publishing il London glowing
accounts Of their prospects here. They esti-
mate their profits in this country to begin
with at $25,000,00O. They have already
opened correspondence with some brokers in
New York, and an agent is soon expected
here to begin operations.
The first movement will be, it is said, to
close contracts with an advertising firm by
which $4,000, if necessary, will be spent in
advertising the project, after which projec-
tors will find no difficulty in relieving the
American public Of few millions of dollars.
The whole scheme, from its infancy to its
present wonderful success in London, reads
SO much like a chapter of the '::South Sea
Bubble or "John Laws exploits in Paris, :"
that persons on this side Of the water almost
doubt the truth of what they read in the Lon
don press in regard to it. There is no doubt,
however, that even in this day of enlighten-
ment such project can be successfully car
ried out in London when it would fail here.

The Earthduake I'm Italy.
lLondon News.1

[London News.]
Down the steep road came old and young
men. laden with such Of their household
goods as they had saved, chiefly bedding.
Their Woe-begone faces showed traces of q
night spent in tears. Then came a little
hand cart filled with dusty and tumbled
clothes, from under which protruded pair
of booted feet, telling Of the sad burden there
hidden. Opposite ruined houses were en-
camped their occupants, or in the orchards
and gardens you saw rnproyised tents. On
the roadside was bed made on the ground,
and tented over shawls and other garments
as warmly as possible, for beneath lay sick
persons. Groups of young girls wandered
about, weeping; but all the people were very
quiet and as if stunned, and only when some
sad burden was carried past did their voices
raise in lamentable exclamations. Before
we reached the piazza we came upon group
Of houses fallen in one heap of ruin across
the street, so that we had to climb over
hill Of rubbish. Here the soldiers were at
work digging. Alas they could hope to
find no living person under those crushing
masses of masonry.
In the piazza two men sat on the door step
of their house, their arms folded on their
knees, their heads bent in a dumb dispair,
terrible to see. a woman weeping, told me
that the wife and mother lay buried in the
ruins of the house behind them. In the mid
die of the piazza sat an officer taking notes
of the most destitute cases. A poor, ragged
woman, flushed with crying, was telling her
sad story, and group Of silent and sympa-
thizing listeners stood close around. The 81
lence in the usually yoluble Italians was very
impressive. Soldiers were being ordered off
in parties to various points to excavate. Then
two boards was carried past. On them were
the fattened and dust covered forms of
woman and little girl, just dug out Three
or four men passed me carrying and support
ing in a chair an elderly lady with crushed
and bound-up face. She was speaking, and
her bearers tender]y told her not to be afraid
This was about o'clock in the afternoon
The earthquake had happened at exactly five
minutes past on the day before, as the great
clock of CasamacciOla, which had stopped,
proved. The poor woman had therefore
lain buried alive twenty-six hours, with what
agony of mind and body through the long
dark night and following morning one can
happily scarcely imagine.

SATR IS NY HEART.

The bonnie bright moon rises up DER the sea-
And sheds her soft light upon water and lea,
And sweet summer zephyrs come whispering to me
Yet sair is my heart for thee, Jamie. ".."
List on the rocks where the blue flowers blow,
And watch the white waves as they ebb to and fro,
And list to the songs that they sing saft and low,
Yet sair is my heart for thee, Jamie.
o, hast thou forgotten thine ain promised bride?
And fitted light hearted to some ither's side?
Then for aye let the waters between us flow wide,
Though my heart should be sair for thee, Jamie,
But if thou art loyal as loyal can be,
Then fly like bird DER the bowy sea,
O. fly to thy hame, and thine ain Maggie Lee,
For sair is her heart for thee, Jamie.

I'm the Senate.

A letter from Washington by feminine
correspondent Of the Cincinnati Commercial,
describing the scenes in the Senate on the
occasion Of Senator Mahone's speech, says
The crowd trying to get into the galleries
grew jostling, impatient. ''Quit pushing
me. You are no gentleman" ''Beg pardon,
Miss; the crowd is pressing against me. "
Dark glances from the forward chit; deepen
ing flush Of anger on the masculine cheek.
Two women struggling for place nearest
the door, got into fight. One was Sena-
tors wife. Not being able to crowd into the
gallery set apart for Senator's wives, she
pushed through the throng at the door of the
ladies' gallery 'sLet me in," she demanded
of the doorkeeper, and handed him her card.
No response s'Senators here have passed as
many as sixteen ladies apiece into the Sena-
torial gallery, consequently people who be-
long there are pushed out LShe was very
angry. II wonder how many Senators here
own to having sixteen wives?' Madam, take
your arms away! You knocked me in the
chest. I expected to find ladies here. I
never was in so uncouth set. Keep your
elbow out Of my chest madam! won't stand
such treatment! will stick pin in you!"
To the surprise and amusement of 5ystand-
ers. the Senator's wife prodnced q pin, and
threatened to bury it to the head in the first
one who touched her. Presently surge in
the crowd threw lady against the defiant
Senator's wife. She turned with her pin
ready to put her threat into execution, but
was met by long bonnet-pin in the hand of
the intruder. s'Only in self-defense," laughed
the lady. The Senator's wife continued her
abuse and vulgar harangue until the Sergeant
alarms had to be called. In the excitement
she slipped through the unguarded door into
the gallery, and was lost in the inner throng,
and got by fraud what we who were abiding
by rules had to wait for, some Of US, for over
two hours
Tired of waiting for vacant place in the
ladies' gallery, where usually sit, | went to
the reporters gallery, position so conspicu-
Gus that it is seldom sought by ladies, except
on occasions which crowd them out else

WiZl the Electric Hight IAN.
New York World.1

There being such diversity of opinion
on this important subject among those direct
ly interested, some expert testimony was
sought. DR.. George NJ. Beard said: 81
studied the electric light with Mr.. Edison for
a long time, but confess this is a problem
hat never had suggested itself to me. Yet,
I should think the electric light ought to tan
| should not, however, say that IS subolVlded
by Edison 1t would tan to the same extent as
the lights Of the powerful single burners like
those on Broadway and in the stores. But
the difference would he one Of degree, not OF
kind All forms Of light might tan to Ger
tain extent if the face is kept a long time eX-
posed to them. [ see nc way Of settling the
question of degree except by comparative ex-
periments, and such experiments are now go
ing on in every large city in the country. a
slight amount of tanning would be more than
compensated for by the greater healihfulness
Of the light ID other respects. What IS tne
philosophy of tanning? It is chemical &C
ton, and we don't know much about chemls-
try. Heat bakes loaf Of bread, and might
be said to tan il. Exposure to the sun g rays
increases and deranges the pigmentsry depos-
it of the skin. There is great difference
in skins, but all human skins are incompara-
bly, more sensitive to the chemical rays from
a light than carpets or the most delicate Ia
brics, and because the electric light tans It
would not be fair to conclude that it would

STRANGE CASE.
a Needle Which Penetrated % Lady's
Foot Works IGsEf Out OF Her Child.

4 most extraordinary natural accident,
and one for the discussion of physicians,
came to light few days ago, in which a
needle tax 10 into the foot Of a lady nine yeas
ago worked out of the thigh Of her third
child, a baby of one year. The lady in ques-
ton is the wife of Mr.. Harry Isaacs, cigar
At the time of the accident Mrs. Isaacs
was unmarried and was then Miss Pauline
Coblens. The needle was encountered in q
carpet and penetrated her foot the full length
a. physician was called in Immediately, bu
the needle could not be foand, although it
was known to be in the foot She suffered
great pain, and for four months was unable
to leave her bed. During that period three
physicians made frequent attempts to extract
the needle, and the knife was used extensive
ly, however, without success. Miss Coblens
was quite feshy before the accident, but fell
off greatly from her long confinement. AT
length she was able to get about with the aid
of crutches, but she continued to suffer from
needle. The pain decreased gradually from
the time she was able to get about, and she
regained her former feshiness. Finally she
felt the needle only at periods, when there
was change in the weather. The move
ment of the needle seemed to be upward, and
the point was not stationary, but moved with
the needle. About five years ago she was
married to Mr.. Harry Isaacs; three children
are the fruit Of that union, the youngest Of
which is boy named Arthur who is about
year old. The pain which troubled the mother
left her even before the birth of her child,
and the total disappearance of the pain she
was wont to feel was subject of remark and
pleasure to her. On Monday, week ago,
her baby, who had since it's birth manifested
q kindly disposition, was very restless and
cried increasingly all night. The cause Of the
childs ailment was not discovered until the
following morning, when in giving it bath
the mother discovered something black pro-
truding through the skin of the child's thigh
She caught hold of it and was frightened
when she found the thing of resisting SUBJ
stance. She, however, used little force,
and soon extracted the dark object. Imagine
her surprise when she found it was needle,
black and corroded. The eye broke off in
her hand while examining it. The recollec-
ton Of the needle, which had caused her
much pain, came vividly before the mother
and she felt keenly for her child. The re-
membrance Of her relief from the pain also
forced itself on the mother, and the connec-
tion of the two serve as clew as to how th
needle came to be in the childs thigh. The
mother says it would be almost impossible
without her finding it out, as the child would
have made it known in piteous cries as it did
when the needle worked out.

why it should not tan. I should Judge that
it would. Just exactly what change takes
place in the process of tanning is not defn-
itely known. If person sits long enough
in front Of q fire he may be tanned or wind
may tan a person"

MR. EDITOR: By your permission | viii
here say to the dear friends Of Knoxville
that We have by no means abandoned our
work, nor do we feel the least discouraged,
Notwithstanding the disappointment in not
seeing our national president, Miss Frances
Willard, and consulting with her in arrange
ments for the further prosecution of the
work The good Lord has opened our way
to remain here awhile, if health permits.
He has blessed US with such kind
friends, whose hospitality is seldom
surpassed. Suffering from heavy
cold since here, part Of the time
confined to my room, but just as tenderly
cared for as though [ had been with loved
ones at home. AS soon as health permits [
purpose calling on as many of you as [ can,
wishing to converse with you, especially the
ialies, in regard to the organization OF our
union, having to-day received quite a rich
supply of temperance literature from our
national Temperance press, at New York,
comprising plans of work and constitution
of womens unions and young mems and
ladies and juvenile work. and very much OF
interest Oh that subject, as also from Mrs
Walice, our State president of Indiana.
Oh, dear sisters, if you could have the re-
ports OF our dear cOnsecrated women all
over the United States, and some OF
them i'll foreign nations, your heart
could not refrain from responding
''God Bless them" Their hearts having
been touched as it were, with live coal
from off the altar, and the very depths of
their souls stirred within them in seeing the
misery and devastation of this sOul-destrOy-
ing monster Oh, has not its dark wing
thrown a shadow over many of your homes !?
Can you longer hold your peace? Up, my
dear sisters the Master calIeth for you.
Enlist in this pleasant army. Christ, the
captain of our salvation, is our leader. We
solicit the cooperation Of the true and the
! tried, who will stand by their colors.
All, dear friends, this is not an isolated
sin, for which Christ has not atoned. Oh,
no. Why should they be refused the priv
ilege of warning or invitation in any of
Gods sanctuaries: Peri9hing ones around
US are calling fer help. Time is swiftly
passing and opportunities wasted never to
be recalled On, may the loving heart Of
sympathy and love that was so prominently
seen in our Master be reflected ii our hearts
and lives.
Yours for the spread Of Gospel temper

PITTsBURG, May 3,-Ten iron giants for
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will be
built this summer at Altoona. They will be
much larger and more powerful than the
ordinary passenger engines, and are to be
built for the particular purpose of making up
time on portions of the road where there are
long stops. On the fast run between New
York and Philadelphia for instance, the time
allowed is SO short that when there are unus-
ual stops, letting off and getting on passon-
gers, the ordinary engines can not make it up.
Hence a monster locomotive known on the
road as . No. 10, " has been built as an ex-
pertinent and tried on different trains to see
what can be done. The result has been sat
isfactory, but there are many improvements
that suggest themselves which will be carried
out III the construction of the other heavy en-
gines that are to follow. Ever since it has been
running this engine has been making mile in
tifty-seven seconds, on up grade, with a long
train IN tow, without getting heated. She
makes more than a mile minute, and
keeps cool" OF course there is great
consumption Of fuel. In $50 miles 10000
pounds of coal are used up. The water
tank contains 5000 gallons, 400 more than is
usually carried. Everything else is on a
proportionately large scale. Only the delay
i'll getting boilers sufficiently large has pre-
vented the completion of two others OF near
ly the same pattern.
