Manchester's Singing Beach.

Everybody has heard of the singing beach
at Manchester, Mass, the sand of which
for distance of about fifth of mile gives
out a sound when walked upon or even
stirred By a stick but it is not so generally
known that in 1854 inquiry among the su-
periatendents of the life-saving service
showed samples of the singing sand could
be found in twenty different places on our
coast 1t is said that later investigation
has increased the number to seventy-four
in America and thirteen abroad At Man
chester an experiment showed that the
sound evoked from the sand by driving a
stick into it could be heard az distance Of
one hundred and forty feet over the roar of
the surf. Professors Bolton of Trinity Col
lege, and Julien'of Columbia, have been
making a study of the subject, and their
conclusions are thus given: The singing
sand may occur in comparatively small
patches in the midst of ordinary sand it
always occurs between the limits of high
and low tide; the same sand does not pro-
duce sounds at all seasons, nor does it al
ways give forth like sounds; when wet it
does not emit sounds. Samples when trans
ported in bags lost their sonorousness, but
retained it when sent in bottles" The
leading theory is that the sound is pro-
duced by friction between the angular par
ticles, and the conditions are believed by
Professor Julien to be perfect dryness uni

THE PICTURED Rocks OF VIRGINIA.-The
famous pictured rocks on the Evansville
pike have been q source of wonder and
speculation for more than a century, and
have attracted much attention among the
learned men of this country and Europe.
The cliff upon which these drawings exist
is of considerable size, and within short
distance of the highway above mentioned.
The rock is a white sandstone which wears
little from exposure TO the weather, and
upon It's smooth surface are delineated the
outlines of at least fifty species of animals,
birds, reptiles and fish, embracing in the
number panthers, deer buffalo, otters,
beavers, wildcats, foxes, wolves, raccoons,
opossums, bears, elk, crows, eagles tur-
keys, eels, various sorts of fish, large and
small snakes etc. In the midst of this
silent menagerie of specimens of the animal
kingdom is the full length of a female
form, beautiful and perfect in every re-
spect. InterspTead among the drawings OF
animals, etc, are limitations of the foot
prints of each sort, the whole space occu-
pied being $50 feet long by 80 wide. To
what race the artist belonged, or what his
purpose was in making these rude portraits
must ever remain mystery, but the work
was evidently done ages Exchange.

Shocking Death.

CINcISNATI, August 27th.-Siser Enlalie,
Super;oress of the Immaculate Academy at
Newport, Kentucky. met a shocking death
this morning. She was nearly GONZALES
cent from an attack of typhoid fever,
and about o'clock was trying to take
some medicine, when the mosquito bar
caught fire, and in a moment the bed was
mass of flames. Sister Eulalie sprang out
and tried to get into the hall but found the
door locked, and in her fright she could not
find the key. Occupants of the house came
to her assistance, but had to break down
the door to reach her. When the fire was
exIinguished the unfortunate woman was
so badly burned that she died in two hours.
She was widely known in the Catholic
Church

NEw YoRK, August 27th.-The Tri5Nne
to-day sharply criticises jockey Speliman's
riding for Haggin's stables. 1t says Spell
man has the habit of leaning back and
taking double pull on his horse when he
thinks he is beaten. He did that both with
Hidalgo and Ben Ali yesterday. What if
always sure he is beaten when he takes
that double pull? An inquisitive judge,
with no fear of Haggin's millions before
his eyes, may ask disagreeable questions
some day. a great many people wish that
Spellman had more perseverance and less

Coast Defenses.

NEW York, August 27th.-A. NJ. Gibson,
who was long intimate with Tilden, writes
to the Sun: a know of my personal
knowledge that what Tilden wrote about
the necessity for coast defenses was origi-
nally sent to Washington to be incorpora
ted in Cleveland's message to Congress. l
know that when Cleveland declined to use
it Tilden changed the opening paragraph
and added the concluding one, and ad
dressed the letter to Speaker Carlisle and
gave it TO the Associated Press, so that its
publication would anticipate the Presidents
message. How DO l know these facts

Res0lced, That the prosperity Of our witt
cultural and horticultural industries is of
paramount importance to this State. In
order to encourage their rapid improve
ment and a freer expansion of trade in
unjust discrimination in favor of foreign
products, revision of the internal revenue
laws and amendments to the tariff are de-
manded as of immediate necessity to our
people, and the Legislature should, by suit-
able legislation, provide for the effective
determination of all fruit pests.

We do not mean to intimate that all the
so-called remedies for dyspepsia are
valueless, but human credulity Is so
strong, that some unscrupnlons persons
trade upon the fears or the weak and de-
biiitated. Among the things which appeal
so strongly 70 this weakness are Bitters.

In need OF a tonic. He is rushed at his
business, swallows his meal hastily and

OF his stomach for digestion, takes little
rest, and necessarily feels hipped: is sub
Ject to headache. and takes often gloomy
view OF things generally. In such cases
he resorts to bitters, under the delusion
that they will act on the secretions of the
stomach and give the system new strength
and energy. The writer recently pur-
chased samples or four of the most widely
advertised bitters in the market. aud the
simple chemical analysis TO which they
were subjected showed that they con-
tanned about 30 per cent. (the amount the
Government allows) OF the most poisonous
and adulterated alcohol, and that the re-
siduuTn consisted OF various foreign SUBJ
stances, which were simply added as flaw
oring extracts, to disguise the taste of the
original compound. The value which So

they irrItate and injnre the delicate mem

that the palate soon cannot distinguish
between good and bad. These decoctions
are consumed principally by the debilitat-
ed, the convalescent, the depressed and
particularly by aged people and weak
women ana others to whom a stimulant
is indispensable. Now, while alcohol
especially in the form of whisky, is ac-
knowledged to be the best known stimu-
liant, and is prescribed and used by phyis-
clans for this purpose everywhere, we
can't conceive why people will insist upon
taking the alcohol In the form of de-
coction, the compounding of which they

analysis, containsfuselo oil, vitriol. catechu

would be far better for them to come out
boldly and use the pure article, something
made from malt in which there is no fusel
oil. There may be a little difficulty in
obtaining an article of this kind, as there
is only one firm in the country t.c., the
discoverers of Duffy's pure malt whiskey.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

CAREIN BATIfING. Water is serviceable to
the skin in only moderate amounts and at
moderate temperature. Very cold or warm
baths, when used in excess, diminish the
elasticity of the skin and its power of
resistance to external irritants.-NeW York
Graphic.
To CLEAN MICA.-Take little vinegar and
water and wash the mica carefully with a
soft cloth. The acid removes all stains,
and if little pains is taken to clean the
corners thoroughly aud wipe them dry, the
mica will look as good as new.-Detr0H
Free Press.
FREEING Rooms OF MILDEw.-There is 10
better plan for freeing rooms and cellars of
mildew than to burn sulphur in them.
The rooms should be effectually closed,
and not opened for one hour after being
filed with the sulphur fumes Chicago
Herald.
To CLEAN THE kETFLE.-To clean porce-
lain kettle, fill half full OF hot water and put
in tablespoonful of powdered borax let
1t boil. II this doesn't remove ell the stains
scour with a cloth rubbed with soap and
borax.-C Chicago Herald.
Observation-Disclosures about equal parts
of common salt and alum. Get as much
cotton as will fill the tooth, damp it, put it
in the mixture and place it in the tooth.
This is also a good mixture for cleansing
the teeth.
PAINT SMELLs.-Water neutralizes the
smell of paint. Vessels OF water placed in
newly-painted room win remove the
smell, especially if impregnated with lit
tie sulphurlc acid; or straw and hay well
saturated with water or chloride of lime
with water.
CAsHMERE.-To wash cashmere, take a
pail OF warm water and put in a table
spoonful of boraxine. Let the cashmere
lie in it an hour and a half; rub out with
the hands, rinse, shake, hang out to dry,
and press, and you will find your cashmere
free from spots and like new.
