''I'll bet five dollars there isn't q man
in this Office who can tell without meas
uring what the exact size Of a silver doliax
Is"
The bet was not taken. for nobody knew.

REVIVAL.

The revival meetings at the First NJ. E..
church closed last night. From the very
first the attendance aud interest was good
and every night increased to the last. Last
night scores were turned away for the
want of room.
The results are 127 conversions of adults
and Sunday school children and over 100
more that in some way or other manifested
a desire to become Christians but gave no
evidence of conversion. Fifty-two have
thus far joined on probation and twenty
eight by letter, and many more will join
shortly.
During tie conference year about to close
we have had, considering the general de-
preston in all material concerns, hattering
prosperity in the spiritual department of
our church work. Sixty-three persons
have joined on probation; fifty-three from
probation and 81 by letter. making 2l3 in
ALL Of these sixteen have since removed
or transferred. leaving still clear gain in
membership of 1877 probationers and all, or
1874 full members

lEMlSH EDECATION-

DR.. Silyerman gave the third number in
the series of Sunday evening lay sermons
under the auspices of the Unitarian church
at Market hail Sunday evening. His sub
ject was Jewish Education, and showed
the marks of careful preparation. 1t was
forcibly delivered and at the same time
was not devoid of rhetorical grace and
beauty. 1t was a noble expression of the
thought lying at the bottom Of all true re-
ligion, namely the Fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man, as traced in the
intellectual history OF people to whose
religious genius the civilized world is more
largely indebted than to any other. Dr.
". A. Pratt will give the address on next
Sunday evening; his subject Is Food and

LOST THROUGH his IMPATIENCE

Last evening Chief of Police McNamara
and two officers were at the Rock Island
depot to intercept man and wife who, it
appears, were badly wanted by a third
party. This third person. well known
individual, had been "bled' for some time
by the man and wife; at last when they
had taken from him his watch, he laid the
matter before the police and they attempt
ed to recover his property for him. All
would have gone well had not the man in
his impotence intercepted the two as they
were on their way to the depot. AS it was,
they fed and could not be found.

AMUSE VENTS
,JANAUSCHEK.

The enthusiastic reception that was ten
dered Madame Janauschek as she tottered
on the stage last evening, hideous in make
up in the catered garb of Meg Merrilles"
must have been extremely gratifying to
the great tragedienne. who through the
force of her talent and genius has won a
place on the stage that in her retirement 1t
will be difficult to fill. A well-trained,
studious, Woodworking actress. bringing
to every character the full force of her
dramatic power, she has done nothing bet
ter than "Meg Merrilles." She has
brought to this character the results of
hard years of study and studious observa-
ton and ha. breathed into it the breath of
genius until it becomes a living, breathing
flesh and blood creature in which the ac-
tress is lost sight of. and only Meg" hid
eous. defiant, loving, cringing and forgiv-
ing. is seen and heard. 1t is in every
sense character that will always live in the
memory of those who witness it. The
melancholy fire of those mysterious eyes.
the low and awe-compelling tones of that
deep. rich and vibrant voice, grand and
imperious force and gesture, form noble
and ideal embodiment of lofty tragical
conception.-Philadel Item.

News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1889-01-17

The dazzling light is wonderful to
look at, but great care has to be taken
in doing so, as unprotected persons ten
meters distant, although feeling no heat,
experience an acute pain in every
respect resembling that of sunstroke.
Even if the light be often discontinued
for awhile, those engaged in these ex-
periments experience, after one or two
hours, painful sensation in the throat,
face and temples, while the skin as
sumes copper-red hue. Generally the
eyes are protected by means of darken-
e1 glasses, like those used when looking
Mt the sun, but in spite of this precau-
ton the retina becomes so affected that
for minutes afterward those engaged in
the work are unable to see any objects
at all in daylight, and for more than an
hour afterward all objects assume q yell
low color
In the pupil of the eye an irritation is
caused, which lasts for forty eight hours
afterward, and which is followed by a
very painful sensation, as if some
foreign substance were introduced un-
der the eyelids. The discharge of tears
is also very copious for twenty-f four
hours. simultaneously headache and
sleeplessness are experienced, which are
caused partly by pain and the feverish
state of the body. Finally, during the
next few days, the skin of the face
begins to peel off, ceasing only on the
fifth day. Those who have seen the
Alpine guides returning from an ascent Of
the glaciers in the middle of the sum-
mer can form an idea of the effect pro-
duced by the electric sunstroke.-
