A New Mineral.

A new mineral has been discovered
named Sperryite, IN honor of tho man
who found 1t, Francis l.. Sperry, OF Sud
bury, Ontario, chemist to the Canadian
Copper Company of that place. 1t is es.
sentially an arsenide of platinum and OF
great interest, since platinum has not
been found before as an important con-
stituent of any material except the alloys
with other metals of the platinum group.
The mineral was found at the Vermillion
mine, in the district of Algoma, province
OF Ontario, place twenty-five miles west
of Sudbury and twenty-four miles north
of Georgian Bay, on the line of the Al
gonna branch of the Canadian Pacific
Hallway. The mine was dis overed in
October, 1897, and thrce-stamp mill
was put up for the purpose of stamp
ing gold quartz. Associated with this
gold ore arc considerable quantities OF
pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite, and
at the contact of ore and rock, and occu.
pying small pockets in decomposed
masses of the orc, there is quantity of
loose material composed of gravel
containing particles of copper and
iron pyrites. 1t was in milling this loose
ma, erial that several ounces OF the arsen-
ide of platinum were gathered on the
carpet connected with the stamp mill.-

street Car Horses.

The employment of horses on so many
street railroads is . great waste OF AMI
nal material required in other heids,
and involves necessary cruelty 10 the
horses. Yet it is surprising how oc-
casionally horse will adapt himself to
this spawning kind of occupation

Line was a horse which had been between

The existence of the large stables Tor
these horses in the centre OF the city,
with their outfit of hay and fodder, and
manure, is q cause of danger, and in
time all our horse-railroad stables have
one after another been destroyed by hre,

part of January the elevated railways

The Arrival in Washington.

Presidente!ec Harrison arrived in Wash
ington in the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and
disappointed large crowd assembled
at the Sixth streeot Pennsylvania rail
way station to SEQ him by alighting
at Ninth street and Maryland avenue.
This point is somo three blocks south of
the station, and is in very quiet part Of tho
city, so that the President elect and his
family were enabled, by taking carriages, to
go direct to tho Arlington Hotel without
coming in contact with the multitude, which
filed all Of the most prominent thorough
fares.
at ESQ o'clock there were two or three
hundred people waiting i'll the vicinity OF
tho hotel in expectation Of General Harrison's
arrival
Ats ESQ o'clock tho crowd cried: 'tHere
they are" and there was movement to the
front, which tho police promptly checked.
The first carriage stopped and tho door was
instantly opened by an officer. Chairman
Britton emerged first, followed by Mrs. Har.
Mckee, whose appearance caused another
murr,ur of greeting.
Gen raj Harrison next stepped out and for
mo mt the crowd hesitated; then cheer
went ,. Tho debarkation Of the remainder
or party was quickly accomplished and
the crowd soon dispersed.
The rest of tho party arrived within few
minutes, and were soon settled in tho fine
suite of rooms that have been set apart for
them. No pleasanter location for the Presi-
Dental quarters could have been chosen, as
tho family has all tho privacy that they
could get in a house OF their own.
The suite consists of four rooms which
have been thoroughly renovated and re-
furnished for tho General and Mrs. Harri-
son.
Quarters directly over those of General
and Mrs. Harrison were reserved for the rest
of the Presidential party.
Mr.. Blaine called OH Mr.. Harrison during
the afternoon and had a half-honr's talk
a noto from President Cleveland was
brought over by Major Pruden about
o'clock. 1t was n tender of courtesies from
tue retiring to the incoming President.
General Harrison ordered dinner to be
served at 6 o'clock, and then he settled down
to take possession of his apartments.

The Pestiferous Grass Bird.

There Is Q little bird, common about
the fields and gardens, that Is worst
pest than the sparrow, crow and black,
bird combined. 1t is commonly calico
the grass bird. 1t is q dark brown OF
dun color on the back, with white
breast and belly. 1t eats clover ano
grass seed, and those farmers who SOW
these seeds on the ground without cover
ing them will look in vain for the young
plants. These small birds come in focks
of sometimes o hundred or hundreds,
and lighting on the fields are unnoticed,
while each one will pick up tho seed
from q square yard Of ground. 1t IL
easily calculated how soon hundred o1
these birds will clear an acre OF land OF
seeds; forty-eight visits will do 1T with
out leaving one seed. No wonder there
are poor catches of seed, especially OF
timothy, sown in the fall, when these
pests have n whole winter to work In OF
swarm on the ground in the spring. The
only safety from this loss is to cover the
seed by the harrow aud put it sale IN
the ground, where it ought to be put by
every good farmer. If these birds are
needed to teach farmers good lesson,
that grass and clover seed should be
sown in the most careful manner and not
scattered upon the snow or the bare HARD
surface of the ground, they will not have
lived in vain.-Ne,o York Times.

In n Bath for q Year.

A unique remedy for eczema and
other cutaneous diseases is Hebra's
water-bed, or rather, to define it accur.
ately, continual bath. The patient lives
entirely in his bath, eats, drinks and
sleeps there till he is well. One patient
was kept in such bath for 3S5 days.
Think of this! More than n year ol
washing day. 1t is enough to make
anyone hate the sight of water forever.
There is q slight danger of the patient
slipping under water in his sleep and
drowning; but it is usual to pass band
age under his arms and fasten it, so as to
support the upper part Of the body on
the inclined part of the bath, on which
the head rests. The palms and soles be-
come white and shriveled like a washer
woman's hands, but the skin of Other
parts of the body does not suffer, and
the treatment is said to be very elfica
cious in severe burns. When the patient
first gets into the bed the temperature is
eighty-si degrees, but as he gets used
to it it is raised by degrees to ninety
eight degrees. Hopitat.

Abandoning the Case.

When the Parnell Commission resumed its
sitting on the morning after the above dis
closures, Attorney-General Webster an
nounced that Pigott had written to MIR.
Shannon from Paris The letter was read in
court. 1t contained the same confession that
Sii Charles Russell read the previous day.
Pigott acknowledged that he forged the
fac simle printed by the Times and the other
letters. He admitted that he fabricated the
letters which he said he found in bag, and
describes the process by which he did it. lie
used genuine letters OF Parne!rs and Egan's,
copying closely several words of general
character, and tracing the actual writing by
holding the letters up against n window and
following line for line. The second batch Of
Parnclrs letters he initiated from fac-simi q.
In conclusion, Picott says that Mr.. La
bouchere's account of the interview between
Pigott and himself is mainly correct.
After Pigott's letter had been read Attor-
ney General Webster said
Nobody will attach any weight to Pig
otis evidence. 1t is now our duty to ask
leave to withdraw from considering the gem
uineness of the letters. The publishers Of
tho Times desire to express their regret for
the publication of them, and will n little later
give fuller manifestations OF regret over the
matterh
Mr.. Parnell took the witness stand and de-
MED the genuincncss of the letters alleged to
have been signed by himself and addressed to
Egan. Ho had dictated to Mr.. Campbell a
letter regarding his desire to have an inter-
view with Pigott This letter was evidently
the one from which limitations were made.

the sea OF humanity that had been held back
by the iron fence suddenly rolled inward and
niied tho entire space. The first persons to

It was his intention not to make a speech,
but urged by Colonel Bean, who succeeded
in calming tho excitement by a wave Of his
hand, General Harrison consented, and said:
