the Spanish gardeners in the Philippine

cigars, formed at one time ono of the
chief articles of export. On ito first APP
Pcarance In Europe it excited consider
able senaation, and in the last century
very high prices wore demanded for the
trees which bore tho wonderful fruit.
None. however. now come to us from
Manila, our supply being derived almost
entirely from Malta, where great pains
and attention are bestowed upon their
cultivation. 1t was for u long tiino sup
posed. and indeed the idea is not vet
quite extinct, that blood oranges were
produced by the grating of the orange
with the pomegranatc: but there is not the
slightest foundation for this belief

a Nut Tor ito scientists.

Mrs. Thomas Land. living in tho sub
urbs OF Carlisle. while sitting before her
CRATE containing burning coal, observed
something imbedded in n chunk Of coal,
and without stopping to think whether
it might be of interest or value, took the
poker and tore the substance out, which
proved on examination to be an iron
ring about one and one-half inches in
diameter, which showed that it had been
corroded by fire long ago. This coal was
taken from the mine one-half mile north
OF Carlisle, ut u depth OF ell feet. Is not
thiSa mystery how this ring, similar to a
ring used ON tho end Of common trace
chain. became iinbedled In coal hun
dreds Of feet under ground, and which
was formed thousands OF years ago.

BUFFALO, August 13th.-The grain short
age case has taken new turn On the
complaint of one of the losers by the opera
tons of Sherman Bros. & Co., Manager s.
F. Sherman of the Associated Elevators
and G. Loveridge, his assistant, were ar
rested last night, charged with grand lar
ceny. They remained in Jail all night.
1t was nearly noon when the case of
Stephen +. Sherman was reached in the
Police Court. Sherman was arraigned on
charge of grand larceny in the first degree,
In having stolen and converted to his own
use 2,270 bushels of wheat, to the value of
Sl,9OO, from the Lake Shore Elevating Com
pany.
He pleaded not guilty, and waived an
examination. He was then arraigned on a
charge of having sold and delivered to un-
known parties 2,270 bushels of wheat, for
which warehouse receipts had been issued
as depository, without canceling such re-
ceipts. A third and fourth charge of a sim
liar nature were also preferred.
To all the charges the defendant pleaded
not guilty, and waived an examination.
He was then formally held to answer and
committed to Jail in default of bail.
1t should be explained that this action
was taken oWlrg to the fact that the Police
Justices cannot take bail in cases where a
penalty is over five years, except to hear at
his own Court for further examination.
From an official source it was learned
that the total shortage at the different ele-
vators amounts to $375,000 The value OF
the elevator stock recovered is 5000 900. so
that the loss to be met by the elevator own
ers is about $l75,000.
Loveridge was not arrsigned, but simply
committed to jail.

poor at Pekln during several winters. He
would go out on the streets the coldest

He was attached to no organization of
men, but was missionary, pure and sim.
pie, devoted rather to charity than to pros

He literally took Christ as his example.
He travelled all over China and the East,
and took no care for his expenses, as food
and lodging were voluntarily furnished
him. lnn.keepers would take no pay from
him, and private persons were glad to en-
tertain him, 1t must be said that his wants
were few. He wore Chinese dress, had no
regular meals, drank only water, and lived
on fruit, with little rice or millet. He
aimed at creating his ideal Christ into a re-

IN the middle, SO as to resemble the pict-
ures of Christ.
Charitable people furnished him money
for his refuge, and he seemed to never want
for funds. He slept on board. or ON the
floor. Even in his last hours, being deck

the cabin, bat the kindly Captain, some
hours before, removed him to a berth,
where he died, still speaking of going to
heaven and eureating the bystanders to
love the Lord.
