ancient iron and Steel.

The oldest pieces Of wrought iron
now known are probably the sickle
blade found by Be zoni under the base
of a sphinx in Karnac. near Thebes;
the blade found by Colonel Vyse i'm
bedded in the masonry of the great
pyramid, and the portion of a cross
cut saw exhumed at Nimrod by Mr..
Layard-all OF which are now in the
British Museum. A wrought bar of
Damascus steel was presented by King
Porus to Alexander the Great, and the
razor steel of China for many cent
uries surpassed all European steel Ia
temper and durability of edge. TIE
Hindoos appear to have made wrought
iron directly from the ore, without
passing it tn .ough the furnace, from
time immemorial, and elaborately-
wrought masses are still found ia
India which date from the early cent
uries of the Christian era.

An Office Building During the Day and q
Hotel at Night.
Among the many peculiar methods
that are employed by some men to as
sist their salaries is one that was used
by former landlord of mine who now
owns three houses, from which he de-
rives a good living, says Mark E. Len
non in the St. Louis Globe-Demccrat
He was for a long time janitor of a
large Office building here. 1t became
quietly known to the class of wander
ers who can pay but small sums for
hotel bills that the corridors of this
building, which was well heated by
steam, would furnish them lodging at
five cents per night, or ten cents for 'sr,s-
served berths," as the janitor termed
the offices, into which he would admit
the cleanest and most trustworthy OF
his guests, and on whom he locked
the doors. This was a welcome re-
treat to that class, who often had

they were prohibited from leaving any
sign Of their presence, such as dirt,

many who were sometimes without
even the pittance necessary to pay for
lodging, but under no circumstance
would they be given credit; they could
stay, however, if they would devote
an hour or SO in cleaning the place,
by which means the building was al
ways kept so neat that it was often re-
marked. A woman, a child or a Grip
pie needed no fee. as they were always
given free lodgings. Even the police
favored the resort, as they often
quietly found criminals that they

Effects OF Modern Life.

Eminent authorities unanimously agree
that the high pressure methods of modern
life are rapidly making us a race of help

nervous affections, headache, insanity,
dizziness, neuralgia, backache, hysteria,
nervous troubles of the heart, stomach,
kidneys, brain, etc. Ladies and gentle
men who are thus afflicted, or who are
compelled to keep late hours, do much
mental or physical work, who worry OF

The Shermanites of Alabama.

In Leeds valley. in the vicinity OF
Birmingham. Ala, there is a colony
composed Of religious sect known as
the ShermaniteS- There are about one
hundred families, and happier, more
contented people can not be found in
the world. Their religious rites and
ceremonies are peculiar Who founded
the society none of them seem to know,
but it is old, as the fathers and grand
fathers of the present generation were
Shermanites. They claim to follow
the teachings of the New Testament
in spirit and letter. and they believe
that only Shermanites will inherit the
Kingdom of Heaven. They have
churches and preachers and worship
in manner similar to many other
sects. One of their peculiar rites is
the washing OF feet. a foot-washing
service is held cnce every month. at
which the preacher washes the feet of
every membe. Of the church. The
members then in turn wash the feet
Of the p eacher and Of each other.
They are Industrious and scrupulously
honest. Divorce and drunkenness are
unknown among them. The men

Two Wonderful Watches.

John Huntington and his son, W.
Il. r. Huntington, of Cleveland, own
two of the best watches in the world.
They are duplicates, and were dered

that should combine every movement

A description of one answers for both.
The case is of pure gold; the works

appear four smaller dials. The one at
the top shows by a diagram of the sky
the changes of the moon, the frma-
ment being of lapls lazuli, studded
with golden stars. The next dial to
the right shows the leap year, the
tiny hand moving around the circle
once in four years, and an auxiliary
hand shows each month. On the dial

Strength of the German Army.

By the new law, owing to the recent

of war this body can be brought up,

AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY.
A Contract OF Peace Between Man and
Wife Declared Void.

A Contract OF Peace Between Man and
Wife Declared Void.
In the Supreme Court at Des Moines,
Ia, the decision of Judge Kavan-
augh in the interesting case of Nancy
A. Miller, appellant, against r. S.
Miller, was upon rehearing affirmed.
Judge Granger delivered the opinion.
The action is by wife against her
husband to recover on contract,
which is in the following words:
This agreement, made this 9Th day
of August, 1885, between the UNDER
signed, husband and wife. in the inter.
est of peace and for the best interests
of each other and their family. is
signed in good faith by each party,
with the promise each to the other
and their children that they will hon.
estly promise to help each other to OBJ
serve and keep the same, which is AS
follows. to-wit:
"All past subjects and causes of dis
putes, disagreement and complaint of
whatever kind shall be absolutely ig-
nored and buried and no allusion
thereto by word or talk to each other
or any one else shall ever
be made. Each party agrees to
refrain from scolding, fault-fnding,
and anger in SO far as it relates to the
future, and to use every means within
their power to promote peace and
harmony. They agree that each shall
behave respectfully and fairly treat
the other; that Mrs. Miller shall keep
her home aud family in a comfortably
and reasonably good condition, and
Mr.. Miller shall provide for the nee
essary expenses of the family, and
shall in addition thereto pay
Mrs. Miller for her Individual use
5000 per year, payable in sums OF
s16.668 per month in advance so long
rs Mrs. Miller shall faithfully observe
the terms and conditions of this agree
ment."
The contract was not kept and the
lawsuit grew out of it, Mrs. Miller
suing for the monthly installment.
The Supreme Court holds that the con-
tract is void as against public policy;
that the contract bound Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller simply to do what the marriage
contract called for, and that all such
contracts requiring legal investigation
into family affairs would be productive

Around the large dial, besides the
usual hou" and minute hand, moves a

deep-toned bell, one of chime; the

a rapidly tinkling companion gives

How the Government las Profted by
Funds from Unpaid Money Orders.
For seventeen years after the estan-
lishment of the money-order system ia
this country the funds secured through
unpaid money orders were stored up
and boarded, just as though the United
States Government had made a good
speculation. No attempts whatever
were inaugurated to ascertain the real
owners of this money, which had been
trusted to Uncle Sans care, but the
SUM went on accommodating until it had
reached the enormous figure of about
$1.700,000. Then Congress took hold.
The legislative branch of the Govern
ment decided that the money thus
held was illegally held, and that no
pains should be spared to ascertain tc
whom it belonged. and clause was
attached to one of the bills appropri-
ating money for the support OF
the Post-Office Department au-
thorizing the employment of a number
OF clerks, whose duty it should be to
ascertain the rightful owners of this
money-order fund, and every effort
made to restore it. Congress also pro-
vided that hereafter. whenever an lad
vice" in relation to an order, which
should remain unpaid in the hands of
postmaster certain number Of days
without the money having been
claimed, was received it should be the
duty of the postmaster to notify the
payee. If this failed to secure the
payment of the money to the rightful
party the sender was to be notified
and steps were devised by which he
might secure the money which had
not been paid to the person to whom
he desired it should go.
Under the latter act there has been
q great falling off in the accumulation
of money TO the credit of the money
order fund in New York, and under
the instructions of Congress some
clerks in the money-order depart
meDt have been engaged for
some years in making out list
OF all unpaid orders, together
with the name of the purchaser of the
order and the party to whom it was
sent. These lists make an enormous
bill of manuscript aud although they
are not yet completed, they have been
instrumental in restoring great deal
of money to the rightful owners Just
how much has beer paid back can not
be ascertained at this time without a
great deal of work. but that there still
remains more than $1,000. 900 piled
away in the sub-treasury at New York
to the credit of the money-order fund
is beyond doubt.
Ordinary business honesty would
have demanded that this fund should
never have been allowed to accumu-
late, but Uncle Sam. in his business
dealings, is the most dishonest of NOR
tails He never pays debt that he can
possibly escape, but insists upon
prompt payment for all his debts

SUNDAYS MEMORIAL SERVICES

The Memorial service held at the town
hall on the afternoon of Sunday last, I'M
der the auspices of Russell Post, G. a. R.,
was very largely attended, every seat in
the room being occupied. The stage was
handsomely decorated with flags, etc.
Seated on it was large chorus choir,
made up from singers from the various
churches, and under the leadership of Mr..
NJ. A. Munroe, Mrs. G. ID. Miner pre-
sided at the organ.
The sermon was preached by Rev. j.
II. Bond, chaplain of the department of
Vermont, g. a. X. He lately resided at
West Rutland, but is now pastor of the
Methodist church at Keeseville, n. Y.
Mr.. Bond was assisted in the introduce
tory services by Rev. Mr.. Heaxt, pastor
of the Methodist church here, who made
the prayer. The scripture read was the
first rs verses of the 24th chapter of
Joshua.
Mr.. Bond preached an eloquent and
forcible sermon from II. Chronicles,
xxXv., IL" And all Juda and Jerusalem
mourned for Josiah" In opening he re-
viewed the life of Josiah, who assembled
the throne at the age of eight and was
killed in battle at the age of 80. 1t is
the duty of every citizen to mourn the
death of the true soldier as Juda and Je-
rusalem mourned for Josiah The fight
ing instinct was put in mans nature to
be exercised in self-defense. Our war
was contest for self-preservation. War
to be justified must have for its object
either this or those things which tend to
self-preservation, such as the increase of
liberty or the resistance of encroach-
ments on rights. The American soldier
is distinct specimen of the warrior in
that he has never been called to fight eX.
cept in the cause of liberty. We may
perhaps. admire the soldiers of the old
world, Wellington and Nelson and Napo
leon and others; but it is their PERSONAL
Aity and ability which attract us, not the
cause in which they fought. The soldier:
who battled on the side of the Union fol
the suppression of the rebellion became il
the hands of Providence the only solvers
of the problem which had long veXed the
nation and threatened its life. Grea
statesmen, like Webster and Clay, hat
tried, and tried in vain, to devise a way
out of the trouble; but finally resort t.
war was necessary, not for the extinction
of slavery-which was a secondary con
sideraton-but for the preservation o
the Union. Americans love peace, ant
the time is not far distant when the differ
, ences of all civilized nations will be set
tied by means of arbitration. Non
know better the horrors of war, said tn
preacher, than we who have engaged il
it; and knowing what the Union has COS
in treasure and suffering, let us swea
anew our fealty to the great ark of liber
ty into which the nations of the cart
are pouring their millions. Not all VIII
t come are desirable; but the sea is still
salt in spite of the oceans of fresh waite
poured into it by the mighty rivers o
, the globe. So America is still American
t and it will be safe and Will prosper if W
are true to our duty and maintain intac
the fabric erected by the fathers.
