A Peculiar Stone.

The Washington Star gives an inter
esting account of stone belonging to
the chief clerk of the war department.
1t weighed about pound, and was
thirteen inches in length, two and q
half In width, and one-eighth of all inch
thick. On picking it up from the desk,
when his attention was called to it., a
reporter noticed that it bent slightly at
the ends, and had the feeling of an elias
tic substance. On removing the wrap
per, however, it was seen to be hard,
compact piece of sands one, of light
yellow color, with the ends cut to points.
The texture of the stone was fine, and
presented no evidence of stratifica-
ton, and was smooth over the entire
surface. A knife blade made no impress
sion ON the particles. There was no doubt
as to its being a genuine stone, but it
nevertheless possessed the fexibility of
a piece Of India rubber. When taken
in the hand and shaken in the direction
OF its Hat surface it would bend back
and forth with dull, muffied sound.
The movement was more of laxity In
the adhesion, apparently, than an elias
ITCHY. When held horizontally by one
end the other would drop and remain
in that position. With the two ends
supported on rests the free center could
be pressed half an inch below the mid
die line. With one end held firmly on
the desk the other could be bent up
ward over an inch. The movement was
not confined to the one direction-in
the plane of the fiat surfaces-but the
entire stone seemed to be constructed
on the principal of a universal Joint,
with movement perceptible in all di.
rections under pressure.

He Wanted the Time.

:. A man in Ansonia, Conn, owns and
lives in house that overlooks large
clock. Unfortunately, however, the
man thinks he cannot see the clock
from the chamber window, as a brick
chimney intervenes. TO obviate this
and have the pleasure of looking to see
the time of day or night while in bed
(for the clock has an Illuminated diaD,
he one day bored hole through the
walls of his bedroom, close to
the head of his bed, inserted piece of
two-lnch gas pipe with glass in the
outer end, and now all he has to do is
to place his eve at the inner opening
and he has focus upon the clock with
out leaving his bed. His friends asked
him, when this was completed, why he
cid not have clock in his room instead
OF being to so much trouble. And for
the first time it dawned upon him that
it would have been as we'll.

Chaplain Milburn's Newsy Prayers.
From the Baltimore American.

Mr.. Milburn, the blind chaplain of the
House, has contracted the tobacco fever
from close association with congress-
men during the past four years and he
is now an inveterate smoker. II Is said
that he smokes at least half dozen
cigars daily. He can be seen in the
House lobby, back of the speakers
clair, almost every morning, pulling
vigorously at cigar, while his
daughter sits by his side, running
through the morning papers in search
of topics for his congressional prayer.
He requests his daughter to read to him
anything touching upon national affairs,
and she is particularly instructed to read
to him items of nature personal to
members of the House. The deputy
doorkeeper, Isaac Hill, who is as
signed the duty of looking after the
absentees, also assists the blind
chaplain in keeping posted concerning
the health Of members sick With
these and other sources of information
DR.. Milburn contrives to deliver an
original as well as interesting three
minute prayer daily. He frequently
manages 10 inject items of real news
into his inyOcations.

From the Indianapolis News.


The presence In the city of the super
intendent of one of the state asvlums
brings to mind story which is known
to but few. The superintendent takes
a great interest in his work. When
amy of the inmates of the asylum dies
he tenderly cares for the remains.
Recently child died and the super
intendent forwarded the body to- Rich
momd. The railroad connections to the
point where the body was to go were
bad. so the corpse was sent by express.
The superintendent was at the Union
station to see that the box was care
fully handled and placed in the proper
car. While waiting for the train he
purchased ticket.
"GoiDg away yourself2" asked the
ticket agent, as he handed out the
ticket in exchange for tariff
NNOh, no; am not going mysef. Send
ing body by express"
We'll, what do you want of ticket.
then, if you are sending the boiy by ex-
press, and particularly this kind of q
ticket ?' laughed the agent.
The officer had purchased a round-
trip ticket for the corpse on which he
had already paid express charges.

idle, umthinking, graceless. Edwin q
salary was OF the most restricted dimen-
sions but she let the meal run out of
the sack and the ale out of the barrel
and did not attempt to stop the waste.
She was always beautiful and always
dalntily dressed. But her loneliness at
last became drug in the domestic mar

good housekeeper, who kept the ex-
