Worse than Dynamite.
fFrom the Philadelphia Times.


"These dynamite explosions over in
England" said the sleeping car con-
ductor, remind me of an old woman
and her jug of yeast. She got on at q
small station out beyond Steubenville,
carrying gallon jug in her hand,
which she told me contained a fine
quality of homemade yeast. It was
well corked and tied. and the old lady
carried it to her berth with her. takiny
as much care of it as if it had been q
baby. An hour or so later, when everv-
body was asleep, there was the most
tremendous explosion that was ever
heard IN sleeping car, and all the
neighbors near her had shower-bath
OF the frothy stuff from the shattered
Jug. 1t was dark and they thought
they were covered with their
own blood. Such screaming Won
never heard, and the old woman her
self was the most frightened of the lot.
The shaking of the car had made the
yeast hvelier than dynamite, and an
extra heavy lurch had set it off. The
bed-clothes of four sections had to be
changed"

A Self-Evident Truth,
tFrom the Brooklyn Eagle j

After hearing the evidence the mag
istrate decided that old Hyson had
acted under great provocation. and had
not really been guilty of misdemeanor.
1t seems that when the thermometer
was placidly sizzling away at 80 in the
shade, the old gentleman was walking
down the sunny side of the hottest
street in Brooklyn, when he saw, in
the window of the Southern Pacific
Tea and Coffee Store the notice printed
in fire red letters. "We are roasting
to day" whereupon, with a smothered
howl of wrath, the indignant citizen
fired brick through the window.

raw brogue out of the red haired China
man who was engineering the roasting.

man; $50 are the rest of Us, but we
don't make our private sunstrokes a
matter of public miseryl" And before
he could gather another brick he was
run in. Discharged, with rule of costs

A White Wife Sold to an Indian.
From the Uinta Chieftain.


A novel transaction took place in this
vicinity during the past few davs. It is
of common occurrence for an Indian TO
buy a squaw, but for white man to sell
bis wife and children to an Indian is p
transaction we never before heard of.
The two principals to tbe transaction
were Thos. Kirby, of Almv. pusillani-
nous little cur. and duskv son of the
forest, who has been lettering hereabout
for several davs.
Tt appears that Kirby, by his ahuse.
had long since driven his wife from
home, who took mp her abode in Evans
ton. together with three children. The
first that was known of the swap was on
Wednesday morning, when the Indian
bolted into the house, every room OF
which he proceeded to examine. The
lady INQUIRED as to his intentions,
whereupon he informed her that Lit
tie white man in Almv sell me white
snuaw and three narpooee-two girls,
one hov-for PONIES" The wonld-he
property Of the Indian was so INFINITELY
described that what be said carried con-
viction in the wife's mind as to kirbv's
intentions, and it was onlv through the
persuasion of Beckwith, Quinn & Cos
teamster that the irste red man did not
carry off his pew purchases.

"sYMMes' HOLE" SUPERSEDED.
A Minister Locate the Harden 81
Eden mt the North Pole.
/. Boston Herald. |

$4,000
A discussion took place before the Boston
evangelical alliance upon the location Of the
garden OF Eden. The Rev. DIR. W. +. War
ren, president OF the Boston university, read
an elaborate paper in support Of the theory
that Adams abode was ut the north pola
The speaker said that he had first begun to
study the subject because he had found that
all religious writers were completely in
the dark in regard to it. Three years ago
he published The True Key to Ancient
Cosmogony," in which :he earth was sup
posed to be n sphere with en- exactly peIpeu-
dicular axis. The northern or celestial pole
was then deemed the abode OF the gods, tho
southern was that of the demons or evil spir-
its, while the intervening lands were the hab
itations of shades
The paper was divided into ave general
lines Of investigation, as follows: First, the
results of explorers; second, the hypothesis
that the garden was on n prehistoric earth,
whose conditions OF temperature and cosmog
ony were different from the present; third,
the hypothesis tested under the light Of
modern science, including history, botanic,
geological and typographical, and paleon-
tolosy; fourth. the coincidence between the
hypothesis, the ethnic tradition, such as the
old Hindoo. Aryan, and Semitic class; fifth,
this hypothesis As agrcsing with details OF
historic fact. not included in the other dt.
visions, such as tho scriptural account OF the
paradise, the cosmO,ic tree, the four-branched
liver, etc.
At the north pols less than one-ffth OF the
limo is spens in darkness, AMI more than
[our-fifths in light. Hence IL IL easy to bs-
lieve this region To be the une referred to ~
the land Of light nnd beauty. SIcn u Land
before the deluge might well have been the
abode Of men Of extraordinary strength, and
stature aud longevity. The popular impreS
sion that the far north has ever been the re-
gion of uncomfortable cold has been generally
accepted. Science, however. has shown that
the earth is Il gradually cooling body, and
1t was conceivable, on scientific reasons,
that the regions which first reached
the temperature to sustain organic
life were at the pole, and, consequently
the life of the race might naturally have
been there, Astronomy shows that this
region is more favored ms regards light than
any other, No more than two separate fort
nights are passed in darkness, and these are
relieved by the stars and the aurora boreslis.
The exact length of the polar day is an UNI
known quantity, and can be determined only
by observations on the spot. Whoever seeks
Il location for the terrestrial paradise, with re-
spect to light and darkness and celestial
scenery, must seek it at the A rctic pole.
Proofs were indicated to verify the existence
of a great continent around the north pole
before the deluge, with u flora and fauna
consistent with its being the cradle of the
human race.
