pears the name of our distinguished
brother of the Maryland Gazette"
whose verbal testimony has not been
given. As the editor of thepldest
newspaper in the United States,
and high government oficiSI, he
must not be neglected. We insist
that the reporters should interview
him, SO that our people can have some
con6rmatory home testimony to guide
them In the purchase OF their cough

Baltimore. The dignity and honor
Of the press must be upheld, and

A HUMBUG EXPOSED. For some

medicine, but as person endowed
with extraordinary powers in healing
"the sick, the lame, the blind, the
deaf and the deformed" Complaint
coming TO the ears of the reporters of
the Baltimore city press that Dc. Gin
ner was an arrant humbug, an Enquiry
was set on foot and it was discovered
that his pretentions IS medical prac-
titioner were bogus, and that he was
simply taking advantage Of his ignor-
ant patients-doing far more harm than
good to those whom he professed to
be able to heal by his magic powers.
As this dangerous advertisement is
is still to be found in the columns of
our contemporary and may deceive

duty to warn its readers against DR..
Ginner's spurious claims, and thus

ure Of cozy room with a pretty
mother seated in it, equally pretty
children and cat and dog playing
about. Enter to these the husband,
tired but happy. He throws himself
into an easy chair, in attitude of care
less repose, which he completes by
placing his feet in his wife's lap. With
her usual guilelessness and faith
in what they are told concerning

Paid nv the Private,

he was millionaire, he enlisted as q
private to show his patriotism and in
dependence. Money grew scarce, ano

was left unpaid for three months. AT
the end of that time Howe, in his
private's uniform, one day entered
the office of the quartermaster and
asked when the soldiers of the regi'
ment were to be paid.
II don't know" replied the quarter
master.
"Well. how much is owed them"
blandly asked the private.
'.What is that to you?" said the
storekeeper, with look of surprise.
"Oh, nothing" said Howe, noncha-
lantly; "if you'll figure out the amount
I'll give you my check for the whole
| business"
"who are you?" gasped the quarter
master.
ELIAS Howe, and my check is good
for the pay of the entire army
The quartermaster made out his
bills. and Howe gave him his check
for three months pay for his regiment.
The government afterward reimburs-
ed him.

The LuSter of Pearls.

Pearls deteriorate by age, contact
with acids, gas and noxious vapors OF
all sorts. This is especially true Of
pierced pearls. Various means for re-
storing them have been tried, but ex-
perience shows them to be useless.
The best way to preserve pearls is to
wipe them with clean linen cloth after
being worn and deposit them, wrapped
in linen, in a closed box or casket. A
leading importer of pearls advises that
pearl necklaces, which are liable to de-
teriorate by coming in contact with
the skin, be restrung once a year. as
drawing the silk thread out and in
through the pierced parts tends tc
cleanse the pearls. In Ceylon. we are
assured on fairly good authority, that
when it is desired to restore the lustel
to Oriental pearls the pearls are allow
ed to be swallowed by chickens. Th'
fowls with this precious diet are ther
killed and the pearls regained in whit
and lustrous state.

The T0MnrS Of Science.

When Lord Randolph Churchill was
in Bombay little time since, he visit
ed, among other places of interest in
the surrounding neighborhood, the
towers of science. As result of this
visit the following comments are to be
found inscribed in the visitors book,
with the noble lords signature at the
foot:
cat the request of the secretary OF
the Parsee Punchayet, I allow myself
to express the opinion that funeral OBJ
seouies conducted in accordance with
the teachings and precepts of Zoroas-
ter, as they have been explained to me.
though peculiar to a comparatively
limited number of the inhabitants OF
this earth, and undoubtedly novel to
the stranger from the west, are entire
ly agreeable to the principals of pure
religion, and may be ard are ingeni-
ously and powerfully supported by
physiological science and experience"
The Parsees, who are very active
and rich class in Bombay, will no
doubt feel flattered that their practice
of exposing their dead on the towers,
to be eaten by vultures according to
the Zoroastrian behest, should be thus
favorably regarded by one so well
known in the political world of the
western island with which their great
empire is associated. The practice has
certainly much to recommend it in
tropical country; it is cheap, cleanly,
and exceedingly expeditions. Men,
women, and children are put into sepa-
rate divisions on the top of the towers;
5 but their bones, those of the rich and
q poor alike, mingle in the we'll below, in
to which they disappear in the course OF
l time. Lord Randolph Churchill, like
= many another European visitor, may
!. have felt the towers rather gloomy and
y repugnant sight; but the trouble of a
!. Journey to them is more than repaid by
y the magnificent view to be had from
s the terrace in front of them OF Bombay
7; and the Indian ocean.-London Wortd'

PRICE THREE CENTS
Mhsre the Old Shoes 70 To.

1t has long been known by many
persons what became of the old tiD
cans which are picked up throughout
the city and are carried away in wag'
ons, but it has only recently been dis
covered to what use the old shoes are
put. Occasionally wagons go through
the city, and return toward New York
heavily laden with old shoes and boots
those that have been thrown away
as worthless. 1t is quite an industry
in New York gathering these, and they
are said to be worth five cents each
The foreman of wallpaper factory
in the city mentioned says that differ
ent prices are paid for different grades
of leather, and that pair of calfskip
boots will bring fifteen cents. The
boots and shoes are first soaked in sew
eral waters to get the dirt off them
Then the nails and threads are re-
moved and the leather is ground into
fine pulp ready for use. The ent
bossed leather paperings which have
come into fashion lately, as we'll as the
stamped leather fire screens. are really
nothing but thick paper covered Wild
layer of this fine pressed leather pulp.
The foreman of the factory to which
the reference is made says that the
finer the quality of the leather the bet
ter it takes the bronze and old gold
and other expensive colors in the de-
signs painted on them. Fashionable
people think they are going away back
to medieval times when they have the
walls of their libraries and dining
rooms covered with embossed leather.
They don't know that the shoes and
boots which their neighbors threw in
to the ash-barrel month before form
the beautiful material on their walls
and on the screens which protect their
eyes from the fire. Many other trades
use old shoes and boots, and the tops
of carriages are largely made of them
ground up and pressed into sheets.
Book-binders use them in making the
cheaper forms of Heather bindings, and
the new style of leather frames with
leather mats in them are entirely made
of the cast-off covering of the feet
There is very little wasted in thi:
| world. (N. " Call.

How q Bronze Is Cast.

To make the matter clear I will sup
pose that one of the first artists OF the
day has modelled statue which Is to
be cast in bronze. The statueis a
seated female figure, half draped. She
has bare feet and raised arms. The
drapery is full of narrow deep folds
designed to show and emphasize the
movement of the figure. The statue
is cast in plaster as soon as the model
in clay is finished and is handed over
to bronze founder-"art founder" he
will probably style himself.
The first thing he will do will be to
cut off the arms, because it is so much
easier to mold them separately. Then
he will probably cut off the body at
the line of the drapery. then he will
likely enough cut off the plinth. All
these pieces he will mold and cast sep
arately. They have to be then cleaned
up with chisels, punches and files to
remove the lines left on them by the
seams of the mold, the latter having
been made of many pieces fitted to each
other in the same way as piece molds
are made in plaster. The seams left
on plaster cast by theselatter are famil-
lar to every one. If there has been
deep or intricate under cutting in any
part, as in the hair, the ears, or the
drapery, probably this has been quietly
filled in by the founder-to the des-
truction of the artists work-in ordel
that it may be easier to mold.
know of one instance in particular
where very important national mon
ument was so treated, to the disgust
of artists. The nation was none the
wiser. All these pieces having beer
cast and scraped up must now be pu
together. This is done partly b,
