Can Read His Bible in the Dark.

When Henry G. Stevens, of Bridge
port, Conn, sits down 20 read his Bible
person watching him might think he
had a pile Of thin cedar boards IN his
lap, and as he turns leaf after leaf they
craokle and fall with q thud. Another
remarkable thing about Mr.. Stevens
reading his Bible Is that he needs no
light to search the Scriptures with, and
it is not necessary for him to look at the
book. He has the biggest, heaviest and
queerest Bible In Connecticut. He is
deaf and blind soldier Of the rebellion.
His wonderful Bible was presented to
him by the American Bible society, and
it cost 326 to produce the book for him.
1t Is in eight volumes, with embossed
print, and hereads it by touch, feeling
the letters; yet he is apt and quick at
that kind of perusal. The whole eight
volumes are quite lift for man OF or
binary strength. Each volume is 15i
inches long, 19 inches wide and about 8
inches thick. Pile the volumes one on
another and the aggregate thickness of
the stack is feet and inches. Alto
gether there are !, $40 leaves in the Bible,
on each one Of which is a full page of
raised letters. Mr.. Stevens is 81 years
old, and began to study raised letter
reading less than three years ago. He
is now a ready resder.-Cor. New York

Gaming for q Mans Life.

Before the war man was on trial in
Lauderdale county for murder. The
circumstantial evidence against the man
was very strong, and when the jury re-
tired and'took ballot the result was six
for conviction and six for acquittal. Il
remained this way for two days and
nights. neither side showing any DISPOSE
ton to change their minds. At last one
OF the jury. named Silvertooth, proposed
a game Of seven up between the oppos-
ing sides, one man 70 be selected from
each side, and whoever won the losing
side was TO stand by the result.
This was agreed to, and Silvertooth,
who was in favor Of scquitting the pris-
oner, and another Juror, who was strong
ly in favor of conviction, commenced the
game. IL was a hotly contested game,
and zach juror had scored six points
when 1t came Slvertooth's time 10 deal
He shufied the cards carefully and
dealt off the night number 70 each and
then turned jack, which made him win
the game and which saved the prisoners
life. The dx who were for CONVICTION
voted with the other SIX for scquittal
and the prisoner was discharged from
custody.-Atlanta Constitution.

Mass of Meteors.

The PARTICLES Of matter producing
shooting stars may be astonishingly mi
mute. In q recent investigation Mr..
G. G. Hutchins has found that on the
suppositlon that the rays of a me-
teor have the same ratio of visible to to-
tai energy as those of the standard can
die the mass of meteor at a distance OF
fifty miles, having magnitude equal to
Vega and a velocity of twenty-five miles
a second, would be about four and one
half grains II it continued two seconds.
A lump of the Emmett county, Ia, iron
m6teorite burned in an electric current
gave ten times the light Of the candle;
hence the mass of a meteor giving the
light of first magnitude star moving
with parsbolic velocity, and lasting two
seconds, is less than half grain.-Ar-

A Newspaper KAeptomaniao.

There is an old, gray haired. venerable
appearing gentleman who Is often seen
about the corridors Of the Hoffman
house and the Fifth Avenue hotel. He
is a newspaper kleptomAniao. Just leave
a paper lying on seat and watch him.
He gets up, looks about unconcemedly
and soon sits down next to the paper.
Carelessly he picks it up and glanoes
through it.
After few minutes, if no one observes
him, he folds the paper carefully, puts it
in his pocket, then calls for an imported
Henry Clay and pays for it from good
sized wallet at the cigar stand In the
course Of the evening he usually gets all
the papers, then dissppears.-New York

EARTH'S SHADOW.

whBspirit darkens the bloom of day.
TAeSAovered meadow no sweetness yields;
A Silence rests on the wavoless fields;
The world is haggArd and gaunt and gray.
The clouds drift YEARLY over the sky;
The grain is yellow, the hills are bare;
heavtness broods In The quiet air;
The streamlet sobs as 1t passes by.
But yesterday morn the flowers were sweet,
The day was bright and the world was young,
And In the even the thrOstle sung,
And his song was glad and the hours were feet
But misty darkness glimmers athwart
The fields today, and the hours are long;
And hear diree In the thYostle's song;
For thu gloom Is the shadow OF thee, nv heart

The value of whitewash In destroying
infection has been investigated by doc
tor of the Pisa university. he tried the
experiment on the microbes Of cholera,
typhoid, carbuncle and tuberculosis
Portions of the walls Of room were in

covered with a coat Of whitewash, the
room being closed Theoretically for

Only One Protest Filed.

CmCAGo, September l6.-The National Worlds Fair Commission began it's ses- sion here today. Today's work was de- voted chiefly in the settlement of the duties and powers of the various officers and committees. Tonight the city council passed almost unanimously the amended ordinance desired by the
 Worlds Fair Directors allowing the use of as much of the lake front as may be required for the purposes of the fair. | The Federal boards of engineers ap- | pointed to hear protests against the use of the harbor as a possible portion of | the site began its hearing today, one protest being filed by the owners of abutting property. CHICAGO, September l6.-The National | Worlds Fair Commission today, adopted | the report of the committee to define the
 powers and duties of the commission without change. After considerable dis cussion, the clause which created the most debate was this: Among the original and exclusion powers of the commission to be named, the power to allot space for exhibitors prepare class | ific9tion of exhibits; determine plan and scope of exposition; appoint all judges and examiners for the expo sition; award all premiums, and gener- ally to have charge of all intercourse
 with exhibitors and representatives of | foreign nations" Alternates from
 various States feel they are not meeting
 with proper recognition from the com mission, and after the noon adjourn
 ment held meeting to talk over their grievances.
 President Palmer explained to them
 that they had no duties or emoluments except in the absence of their respect i've principals and in that event would be called on to act and be paid for such service. This was not entirely satis- factory. The Board of Engineers sent by the Secretary of War to hear argu- ments on the question of using portion of the harbor front for the possible site, concluded it's hearing today.

Addresses Farmers to Organize For Selt
 Protection.
 SYRACUSE, N. Y., September l6.- Chauncey NJ, Depew addressed a large audience at the State fair today.
 In the course of his speech, referring to the recent agricultural depression, he said that besides the largely increased production there would be found further causes for it in the attempts of specula- tors to corner the markets. In view of the depressions brought about by these causes, it becomes the highest duty of the American statesman and the Ameri- can farmer to look about for remedies.
 The first act of farmers should be to intelligently organize. In the present condition of the world, organization is a necessity of existence. Capital organ izes, trades unions and manufacturers organize for protection. Farmers alone have failed to umte in any efficient and practical way,
 In conclusion, Depew said that in his judgment we are near the bottom of the grave of agricultural depression and will soon begin to climb up the other side.
