to him in low, eager tones; then the old
man, after grasping Charlie warmly
by the hand, turned to his daughter.
II did not know when Iurged you to

girls hand in his. "You were going to
marry to please me, and Ihave proven
myself unfit to select husband for
you; now you may choose for your

Constance looked up, glad light in
her eyes; and Charlie who had also
approached her, held out his hand.
She laid hers within it with q vivid
blush and q sunny smile, and her
father turned to the wondering guests.
II am not going to allow you to

MadStOllcs.

Madstones, as they are called, are
believed by some persons to be entire
ly without healing or curative virtues,
but a Chicago mangives the assurance
that one OF these singular articles has
been used for more than forty wears
in hundreds of cases in Cook county,
Illinois, and that only in one case was
there a fatal result, that of a child
who was "taken away before the stone
had fully extracted the poison" He
remarks that these stones should have
a fair investigation before being con-
demned, inasmuch as the medical pro-
fession is confessedly without remedy
forhydrophobia. The stone is porous,
and when applied to the wound, if it
is rabies, adheres to it until the pores
are filled with poison, when it drops
off; it is then put in warm milk and a
green poison exudes from it until it is
cleansed: The application is repeated
until as long as it will adhere to the
wound, or until the poison is all ex-
tracted.

Rich Mems Dishonesty.

From the Boston Daily Advertiser.
1t Is not true that entertainments,
larcenies, defalcations, and financial
irregularities" are the work of OBJ
scurc subOrdination. On the contrary,
it is the wealthy or fairly well off CASH
iers, directors, and presidents who rob
the banks; trust funds are stolen by
men whose position in society has put
them far above suspicion of such weak
ness, and railroad and other great
corporations are despoiled by million.
aires.
A poor man has very little tempta.
ton to steal ten millions or one mil
lion. His needs and desires are so linn
tied that such I. sum has few attrac-
tons for him. He knows the posses
sion of it would be a burden, and
would probably lead to his detection
and punishment. His reputation for
honesty and trustworthiness is his
capital, and he would risk everything
by one false step. Say his principles
ar. no better nor his conscience more
active than those of other men who
are tempted and do fall, yet the con-
siderations herein named would hold
him back from crime into which they
nlsldly rush.
The wealthy, fast living, speculative
1inancier who goes wrong 'borrows"
the funds intrusted to his care and uses
them i'll kite flying experiments. Wealth
begets the desire for more, and he never
gets enough. If he wins he returns the
loan as IL means OF quietins his con-
science, ;,:,d Il little latter finds he has
sufficient nerve to make /. larger draw
upon his neighbors' accounts. In his
case the possession and use of money
creates no suspicion against him. He
therefore regards his chances OF detec-
ton as small and decides to take
them. Furthermore, he relies on his
wide acquaintance and influence to
give him, il the worst should happen, a
safe deliverance in the courts or across
the Canadian border.

that the hearse and coffin cup belonged
to an nndrtaker with an eye to bust
ness, who had got enough custom from
his novel advertisements to pay his
shaving bill for the next ten years.
An engineer on the elevated road owned
the cup with the dummy engine on it.
The other cups belonged to a milk
dealer, a stonecutter, a carpenter, and
q bricklayer. The barber said he had
an order for a cup from q neighboring
shoemaker which would eclipse all the
other cups. It would contain tiny

Church Attendance Diminishing.

According to statistics gathered by q
church paper, not more than 5 per
cent. of American artisans in cities
habitually attend religious services of
any kind. All but two OF the letters
say that the attendance Is diminish,
ing, and all but one that the neglect is
not from unbelief in Christianity, The
cause OF non-church attendance, as
given by these experts, may be sum-
med up as follows: The men have to
work I'LL the week, and they recreate
on Sunday. They cannot dress as
we'll as those with whom they must as
sociate, and therefore stay away.
They think secret societies are as good
as the church. They are unable to
pay for the privileges because of the
high prices of things which they must
have. The large salaries of the minis
tiers disgust some. Some feel that the
minister is q hireling, and therefore
seeks to upbuild his church as q doc
tor seeks to increase his practice, not
from love of souls, but to increase his
salary. Some employers of labor are
so bad in their treatment of their EN-:
ployes that the men do not want to
go where they snail meet those in
whose real Christianity they have SO
little faith: il 80

GREATGUNs.
New Guns for the Armament of British
NIen-Of-War.

New Guns for tho Armament of British
NIen-of-War.
London Daily News.
The new guns which have been de-
signed to maintain the naval suprenl-
acy of Great Britain are in an advanc-
I'd state, but they have to undergo a
course of experiments to settle the
range tables and other particulars, and
it will probably be the beginning of next
year before they are ready for sea.
This will, however, be earlier than the
ships that are to carry them can be
completed, and there will be ample
time available for full and lcisurely
study of their requirements and capa-
bilitics. The first of the four 3-ton
steel breech-loaders for Her Majesty's
ship Rodney will be shortly finished,
and will be used as an experimental
gun, care being taken not to damage it in
theprocess by any of the surg ical opera
tons to which experimental guns are
occasionally subjected. Although II
tons lighter than the 8O-ton muzzle
leaders on board the Infexible, the
50: ton gun is expected to surpass the
older weapon in it's destructive pow
er. 1t will probably throw q Is IA
inch shot OF l $50 pounds weight with
a powder charge ofabout $50 pounds,
and the estimated velocity at the muz-
zle is to be 2,l0O feet per second. The
8O-ton projectile wei hs l, 7OOpounds,
but the cartridge is but $50 pounds,
and the muzzle velocity recorded is L.
600 feet per second. Should the new
gun realize expectations it will pene-
trate 20 inches of wrought iron armor
at close quarters, and prove too much
for p inches even at the liberal fight
ing range of a thousand yards. Still
more powerful, but not in the same ra-
ito of increase, will be the l1O-ton guns
now being manufactured for her
majesty's ship Benbow. There are
three OF those guns ordered, one of
which will be surrendered for
the purpose of scientific expert
ment, while the other two are sent on
board ship. where, however, they will
not be wanted until the midsummer
OF 1886. The projectilc will be Is H.
inch diameter, and weigh l, SOOpounds
or 1000 pounds. The powder charge
will be the enormous one OF 900
pounds, or half the weight OF the pro-
jectile, supposing this to be 1900
pounds, on which supposition the We
locity may be reckoned at 1850 feet
per second, and it's power of penetra-
ting armor at 311-2 inches near the
muzzle, or two inches less at / 900
yards. The new guns will be vastly
superior to the Italian 100 ton guns,
which are at present at the head ofall
the naval artillery in the world, and
they are to the like extent in advance
of the 100 ton guns which are doing
duty for England on the Notifications
of Malta and Gibraltar, although these
are larger in bore by 1 l-2 inches. The
substitution OF steel for wrought iron
admits of heavier charges of powder,
and this fact makes all the difference.

Any one who has ever visited Kings
ton, Canada, will recall the round
towers which form part of it's ex-
tensive Notifications. These, it is sup
posed, were copied from the similar
structures on the coast of Ireland,
which are about to be demolished.
The Irish towers were built at the
time when Lord CORVALLIS was Vice.
roy of Ireland, at the suggestion of the
Duke of Richmond, who had heard
that the town of Martello, in Corsica,
had by means of similar defenses sue
cessfully resisted the attack of a fleet.
This Duke OF Richmond afterward be-
came Governor General of Canada,
and it was during his career that these
Martello towers were built for Kings
ton, then the capital of the united
provinces of Upper and Lower Can
ada. His death occurred in 1919
from hydrophobia, produced by the
bite of fox.
