New York Star: Brother Beecher
and Talmage cover probably the
largest range Of stony ground of any
two preachers in the country. For,
besides they vast audiences that are
drawn by their eloquence, their SER
mons are in great demand by west
em and southern newspapers. But
Brother Beecher reaps no golden
sheaves, while Brother Talmage is
said to be storing up great stacks. 1t
is simply a matter of business, in
which the practical Talmage far ex-
GELS the spiritual Beecher. 1t is
known that an enterprising young
stenographer, who is also a skilled
telegrapher, makes use of Brother
Beecher's words to great personal
advantage, while Brother Talmage
handles his own copy G. o. d. Thus
the former simply sows the good seed,
while the latter sells it for something
like $4,000 per annum.

Suppose the Democratic nominee
for representative be- most excellent
Democrat in the strictest acceptation
of the term, but avowedly opposed
to prohibition, will the temperance
voters in the party give him a very
hearty support. "-Clarksville Chron-
icle.
The purpose of the prohibition peo-
pie is to see that no such a democrat
shall be the nominee, or to see that
the nominee at least favors the sub
mission of the question to the people.
The prohibitionists will not ask leg
islative candidates whether or not
they favor prohibition, but whether
they will vote for the bill which will
come before the next legislature pro.
viding for the submission of a pro.
hibitory constitutional amendment
to the people direct, for their ap-
proval or rejection. 1t is not ex.
pected to keep it out of politics
Being political matter, in the true
sense of the term, Of course it will
have to be dealt with by the repre-
sentative political body of the State
But it is not party question, and
the prohibitionists have no wish tC
make it such. 1t is in no sense what
ever a party measure, and there is ne
reason or necessity for making it such
if the State press will deal fairly with
it, and handle it as a purely politica
matter.

The above is clipped from a

a tale" Such complaints are by no
means uncommon. The trouble is
more frequently in the young men

About Turquoise.

The first historic record of turquoise
mining in Persia occurs, about the tenth
century, A. D., and for ages has been
one Of the most important sources of
wealth of this country. The Persian
name for the stone Is irvoZ, and the
mines now worked are the same as those
worked 500 years ago. They are found
in Herman and KhorasSan, though the
former are now almost abandoned, the
light green color and early fading max
ing them of small value. These mines
are of great depth and access to them is
hazardous. The Persians and the people
of the United States prize the darkest
stone, while in Europe those of a fine
light blue, of medium intensity, are
preferred. The former are more rare,
and retain their color longer. Although
in general, size has much to do with the
value of a turquoise, color is the final
test that fixes the price. There is tur-
uuolse now in the baZars no larger than
a pea valued at $500. All the mines in
Persia are farmed by officers connected
with the Persian government. They
pay yearly rental to the Shah of IS
600 t0mans, or $4,000. There are 10
other mines known in modern times
that have produced stones of noted val
ue or in any quantity, except the mines
of New Mexico.
The New Mexico mines are two in
number, and are located about eighteen
miles southwest of Santa Fe, in the
Cerrlllos mining district. being known
as the Chalchutil and the Castilian. The
history of the former mine is very inter-
esting, associated, as it is, with the ear
lest Spanish conquests, where avarice
and cruelty resulted in bringing about
great loss of life and many reverses to
the Spaniards.
This mine was probably largely work
ed by the AZtecs more than 800 years
ago, so that in 1540, when Coronado
and his followers penetrated into this
country and captured (after severe
siege) the present cityof Santa Fe, then
a populous Indian village, their cupidity
was aroused, and enslavlng the poor
captives for more than 100 years, the
gloomy recesses of the mine were thick
ly populated by the helpless race, lashed
by the most cruel of taskmasters.

Speaking of nitro-glycerine," said
the oil-torpedo man, land its explosive
properties, reminds me Of one incident
of thousand that 1 could relate re-
garding it. At the factory where the
oil-well torpedoes are made, we strain
the nitro-glycerine through the crown
of felt-hat, and when the lat has
served its purpose we destroy 1t. One
day some of the workmen, instead of
destroying the hat, washed 1t thor
oughly and treated it with alkali, in
order to destroy the effect of the nitro
glycerine. Then they laid it up on
shelf, and forgot about it. Some two
years afterward, one of the men ran
across the hat, and his curiosity was
excited as to whether it would explode
if struck hard blow. He placed 1t on
one of the iron arms that run from the
timers bench in the factory, and
struck it, while his companions looked
on in wonderment. He struck it twice
without any result, but the third time
it exploded, blew the iron arm through
a brick wall, knocked the man down
and broke both of his arms and wrecked
the interior Of the tinshop."

Professor Reclaim, the distinguished
German hyglenist, has opened a crusade
against the horror of night air and
draughts which is especially prevalent
among his coIntrymen. Sleeping
with open windows" he says, is most
unjustly decrled among the people, as
well as night air in general. But night
air is injurious only in swampy regions,
whereas in the upper stories of house
it is more salubrious than day air."
"Draughts," he adds, "are not in
furious unless we are in a glow. To
healthy persons it cannot possibly do
as much harm as the stagnant air in a
close room. The fear of draughts is
quite groundless, though it affects most
people in a manner which is simply
ridlculous.n

CURE FOR A FELoN.-The follow
ing cure for a felon is going the rounds
of exchanges: Fill Il tumbler with equal
parts of fine salt and ice; mix well; sink
the finger in the centre, allow it to re-
main until numb, then withdraw it and
when sensation is restored renew the
operation four or five times, then it will
be found the disease is destroyed. This
must be done before pus is formed.
This remedy should be used cautiously
least the finger be permanently frozen.
