A Large Organ.

A correspondent of La Science en-
Famille states that in the Protestant
church at Libau, Russia, there is an or
gan which occupies the whole width of
the church, about 60 feet, and which
has 131 registers, 5000 pipes and IA bel
lows Of large size. 1t has harpsichords
and pedal. The largest pipe is formed
OF planks inches thick and 81 feet in
length, and has section of : square
inches, and weighs l,540 pounds. Be-
sides the 131 registers. there are
81 accessory stops that permit of
combining various parts Of the in
strument without having direct re-
course to the registers. By q spe-
cial pneumatic combination, the organist
can couple the four harpischords and OBJ
tain surprising results. For the sake of
comparison the following large instru-
ments of this kind may be cited: Organ

A Girl Who Works.

A reporter has a window that COM
mands view of sewing room over
gentleman's furnishing store. Every
morning when the reporter gets up he
sees q slender girl sewing by the work
room window. Often when he comes
home at night she is still there and still
sewing. She is making eyclcts in shirt
fronts. 1t is nice and delicate work,
though she does it with the persistency
of a machine. She takes thirty stitches
every minute. That is 1900 every hour,
or $4,000 every day. In week she
takes $1,000 stitches. Her hand moves
yard for every stitch. In week she
measures off precisely six miles and a
quarter of space with that hand. The
pay for this prodigious amount of effec-
tive labor is 81 a day, and she is con-
sidered q high priced, skilled work

A Palace of Salt.

The people of Salt Lake City are con-
templating the erection of great "Salt
Palace" 1t would be a structure that
would lay in the shade all the ice and
corn palaces ever constructed. The main
part of the structure could be Of the finest
specimens of rock salt to be found in the
quarries, chiseled, carved and artistically
arranged; while the interior fittings
should be of crystallized work from the
lake on a grand scale. Such palace
should be permanent if properly pro-
tected from the winter rains; it could be
made of the most unique and striking
style of architecture; it could be made
one Of the wonders of the world. When
lighted by electricity the structure would
have all the sparkle and diamond glitter
of the great ice palaces, and with the
difference in the salt palaces favor, the
heat would not melt or dim its glories in
the least.-Virginia New Enterprise.

i New Danger.

The introduction of leprosy into the
United States must be stopped and the
terrible disease stamped out at once, or
it will be the most unmanageable of all
epidemics that ever visited our land.
There is no longer any question of its
being communicable. The lepers have
invaded British Columbia, and had such
free access to the Indians that the whole
race of red men is infected. The antag-
onism to Chinese immigration will be
more widespread than ever, and viii be
based on something besides race preju-
dice. 1t would be far better to stop
quarantining against yellow fever and
smallpox, for while the latter kill more
quickly, leprosy devours its victims with
a living death. When will our authori
ties get well aroused to appreciate TIE
danger that is coming upon us?-St. Louis

The Millionaire Mother of "a Socialist.

One of the richest women in the world,
the Duchess of Galliera, died in Paris
Her grace was the daughter and heiress
of the Marquis de Brignole Sale, rich
Genoese nobleman. She years ago mar
ried the Duke de Galliera, who was very
wealthy, but their fortune was enor-
mously increased by judicious specula-
tions. Some idea of the Duchess of Gal
liera's riches and benevolence can be
formed when it is said that her husband
gave e1 100000 to the city of Genoa to
enlarge the port, and the duchess e2, ,0C0,-
600 to build a new hospital-the most
magnificent in Europe-to enlarge five
streets and to restore churches and
charitable institutions. She also pre-
sented to her native city her palace, the
celebrated Palace Rosso, with its superb
collection of Vandykes and other pictures
by the great masters. In Paris she en-
dowed q museum Of art, an orphanage
and other charitable institutions, and she
is well known also to have purchased
back good deal of the Spanish estates
of the Due de Montpensier, which she
presented to him many years ago. The
only son and heir of this lady, Signor
Ferrari-he refuses the title of duke-is
well known socialist, whereas the
duchess herself was an extreme Royalist.

A Southern Darkey's Prayer.

zone Of the most remarkable and
original prayers / ever heard" said a
gentleman To a Herald reporter recent
ly, Twas after the war closed. and was
taking run through Georgia in hope
Of finding a desirable cotton plantation.
One bright summer night found me at
the cabin of an old negro, who had once
been a slave but who located on the
old plan after the war and was his own
master. He gladly welcomed me to his
humble abode, and to such bed and
board as he could provide.
Before retiring, the old man asked
me TO read "A chapter in the Bible when
he would pray. He said he couldn't
read, but was powerful in exhortin' and
prayer. After reading chapter from
Job and part of Psalm, we knelt
down, and the sable brother let his
soul flow out TO God. He prayed for
the President of the United States, all
his cabinet, the army and navy, the
Governors of all the States, for me, his
guest, for his neighbOrs, for absent
children, for himself and family. He
asked forgiveness for many sins, and
thanked the Lord for many blessings.
Well, began to get tired. 1 had
rested my knees the best / could, but
wanted to sit up badly and at the same
time did not want to give offense to my
kind host. The boy reclined next to
me with his head in the chair sound
asleep. Touching him gently whisper
ed: "About how soon will your father
get through?' "Has he got to de place
whar Moses crossed de Red Sea?" Be-
ing assured that said point had not yet
been reached, the boy yawned and con-
tinued: "Well, when he gifts to whaI
Moses crossed de Red Sea, he's just hall

and made him put on his velvet coat and
wide awake hat. Then the old man
sailed forth and made his way to the

in deep meditation. He had not gone
very far when he heard q mans voice

A HERMIT FISHERMAN.
He Lived on ss n 7 sar and Has Aeeumu-
lated n Goodly Fortune.

He Lived on IS 7 AR and Has Aceumu-
lated GOodly Fortune.
''Zeb, the hermit fisherman lives in
filthy hovel down near the ocean in the
town OF Stonington. He wears the old
time fisherman costume of blue overalls,
jacket and skull cap to match. He, too,
was disappointed in love, and took TO
fishing in solitude for livelihood. He
next courted the Bible, and can repeat
1t from Genesis through to Revelations
by heart. With a capital of 500, which
he invested in dory, he has amassed q
fortune estimated at $4,000 For five
years he lived in a shanty, expending but
$S q year for food. His clothes he wore
to shreds, and his fuel he picked up on
the beach. During that time he saved
S425, with which he bought his present
home. Here for thirty out of thirty-five
years it cost him but S25 annually for the
necessities of life, while his earnings he
invested in real estate.
The property purchased by him lies
along the water front, and at that time
was at the mercy of the sea, which cast
its huge waves far inshore during a gale.
Zeb Immediately began the laborious
work of building breakwater, or rather
a seawall. This he did alone and unas-
sisted. 1t is of stone, fully 500 feet in
length and five feet in height The work
was all done by hand, the big stones
being carted in a home made wheelbar-
row and consuming years time.
After this job had been completed Zeb
began the erection of his first tenement
house. With a pickax, spade and a
wheelbarrow he excavated for the cellar,
using the dirt to fill in the hole back of
the seawau. He walled up the cellar
with stone and then secured carpenters
to build q house. This cost him 500.
The painting and papering he did himself.
As soon as this one was completed he
began work upon second. He continued
his labor, and now has ten houses, side
3 by side, all built the same way. Each of
these houses brings him monthly rental
of 81, and they are all occupied.
But he has not neglected his fishing
during this time. He has made from
$500 to S400, and sometimes $500 year.
This money he turned into property or
placed in the savings bank. It is sup
posed by many townsfolk that he also
has considerable hid in his sleeping room,
the armaments of which consist of a
three pronged pitchfork, hatchet and
stove poker. The past five years have
been more expensive to him than any
previous ones. His fortune has accumu
lated to such an extent that his expendi-
lures now average S125 a year, which
includes insurance, taxes, food and fuel.

Electric Eire indicators.

Electric heat indicators, consisting of
thermometers incased and protected by
iron tubes, provided with platinum wires,
and connected with a system of electric
bells and indicators on deck, are the
latest invention for preventing spon-
taneous combustion among ship cargoes.
Should any undue heat arise in any part
of the cargo, the mercury in the ther-
mometers will rise, make contact with
the platinum wire, and give an instan-
taneous alarm on deck, indicating at
the same time the exact spot where the
heat exists.-New York Telegram.

The Origin of Dogs,

The question of the origin of the dog
has recently been discussed by Professor
Nehring. who believes that it has de-
scended from various still surviving spe-
cies of wolves and jackals. The latter
animals can be tanned, and many at
tempts to domesticate wolves have been
successfully made in recent times. Herr
Ronge has SO completely tanned young
wolf that it follows him exactly as dog
might do.-Public Opinion.

diately inaugurated without increasing
