great abundance of this in and about the

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
A Fatal Accident Occurs Without
Apparent Cause.

Thomas NJ. Humphrey, a labOrer en-
plOyed in the construction of the
Guaranty Loan and Trust block, the
foundation of which had been laid at
the corner Of Third street and Second
avenue south, was killed sudden ly
shortly after 8 O'Clock yesterday by the
falling of heavy flagStOne. The stone,
which was eleven feet two inches long,
five feet wide and ten inches thick, was
being placed over the basement area,
which extends under the sidewalk on
the Second avenue side. Humphrey
was in the area, which is fourteen feet
deep at the front. No sooner had the
stone been placed in position than it
parted in the middle, and falling,
crushed Humphrey to death by its
into pulp. As soon as possible the
heavy weight was removed, and his
body was taken to COnnOlly's morgue,
after it had been viewed by Coroner
Hill.
The cause of the breaking of the
stone is not understood. The flag was
Joliet limestone and no flaw was dis
cernable. 1t was supported at either
end by brick walls eleven feet apart,
and was presumed to ne capable of suS-
tanning a great pressure in addition to
its own weight, from which it appears
to have broken. The work was being
done under the supervision Of Cook d
Arnold, well-known and reputable con-
tractors. Humphrey was twenty-eight
years old and resided at 2009 Twenty
second avenue south with mother and
two sisters. He had been only en-
ployed at the building two days previ-
Ous to his death. One of his sisters,

1t is woman's duty to be hclpmeet
for her husband; to stand at his side
ready to counsel him; to share his joys,
his sorrows, his triumphs. In order to
do this she must be his equal. She must
be willing to lay aside the last novel
and talk with him upon those subjects
which interest him; and If he is a little
off upon the tariff question her intui-
tive mind may grasp an idea that may
set him right. Let them deliberate to-
gether upon the temperance question,
upon the license system and upon the
relative fitness of the several candidates
for Office. Your husband wants to talk
of these matters with some intelligent,
Interested person aud if his wife mani
tests perfect indifference he will go TO

driven there by their lady wives who
stay at home to spend the long, lonely

BUILT UPON SAW-DUST.
The Peculiar Soil on Which Rests One of
Michigan's Prosperous Cities.

lie Gecullar SOIL on W nlcn IteStS OHe VI
Michigan's Prosperous Cities.
Twenty-Five years ago, East Sagi-
nav, Mich, was q scattering hamlet,
built here and there among and along
the edges of swamps and bayous, bor-
dering the Saginaw river. The saw
dust and debris of the mills were used
to fill up these inequalities, more for
the purpose of getting rid of the an
noying accumulations, than from any
well-defined knowledge of the value of
such material, or its possible use as
future soil.
From year to year the work went on.
The swamps and bayous were filed up,
and soil was spread on top of the saw
dust of variable thicknesses, from six
teen inches to two feet. Strange as it
may seem, there was no settling of the
ground, and heavy buildings were
erected upon the soil thus made. These
buildings are the best in the city, and
show no cracked walls.
Sewers are dug through what was
formerly bed of saw-dust, and while
traces of the material can yet be found,
still there is u clear evidence of the
Transformation process going on, be-
held in each shovel of matter thrown
out. 1t would be difficult to fully and
clearly explain this process. 1t looks
as though the exudations rising up
from beneath the everything debris are
continually acting as distilling ele-
ments, by which the granules of saw
dust gather to themselves earth incrus-
tations, and finally become homoge-
neous conglomeration of original soil,
without undergoing the action of de-
composition.
This hypothesis may not be any
clearer than mud, but it is certain that
one of the finest and most substantial
cities in Michigan rests secure to-day
on bed of saw-dust. which latter has
resolved itself back into its original
elements within q quarter of cent.
ury. Can any one account for this!

THE CORONATION STONE.
A Rough Block on Which Many English
Sovereigns Have Been Crowned.

A Rough Block on Which Many English
Sovereigns Have Been Crowned.
The Coronation Stone of England is
a rough block of stone placed inside of
a chair in Westminster Abbey. This
block was originally the coronation
stone of Scotland, and was taken by
Edward l. when he forced his rule
over the Scottish people, and was by
him brought to England as trophy of
victory, and built in the chair in which
it now is. Since then all English SOW
ereigns have been crowned upon it,
and previous to its transfer, the Scot
fish rulers had been crowned upon it
for probably many hundred years.
This is the sum total of the authentic
history of the stone, but tradition had
prefxed to this brief outline an ex-
tended chapter of events. This says
that Greek, named Gathelus, married
Scotia, daughter of the Egyptian
King, Pharaoh of the Exodus. After
the destruction of the Egyptians in the
Red Sea, the Greek Prince fed with
his bride, and the remnant who had
escaped drowning, to Southern Spain,
and founded kingdom at Brigantium,
the modern Compostella. He had a
royal chair made, carved from stone,
and this was guarded with much care
by his descendants, who believed it to
be the means of insuring sovereignty
to their race. This tradition
was further amplified by the
story that the stone in question
was identical with the stone on which
Jacob rested his head on the plain OF
Luz, which had been carried by the
Hebrews to Egypt and guarded by
them with fervent care. At date
which can not be placed except by con-
lecture, a descendent of Gathelus took
this stone TO ireland. and a long line OF
Irish Kings were crowned upon it
About three hundred B. c.. Fergus, the
