 A chemist in Belgium has discovered a process for the preservation of all kinds of fabrics for an indefinite period. He made numerous experiments with sub stances extracted from birch bark and finally produced liquid which he claims resists the action of time and renders fabrics of every color and variety abso- lutely imperishable. Boys clothes may now be fixed so as to last week.
 The stockholders of the Eiffel tower are feeling blue just now in consequence of the steady diminution of their receipts. In the season now closing 664 ,O00 francs were taken in. The cost of keeping the tower opep was 35O,OoO francs, and 3OO,- 900 francs more were spent for repairs. Next season the. small profit of this year will be wiped out, it is expected, and a considerable deficit will appear in place of it. In view of this probability 168, ,0OC francs were reserved for future use from the profits of the exhibition year.

when Rockefeller built a big house in Cleveland Andrews put up a bigger one, bringing artists from Italy to do the fine work in it and making one of the finest residences west of the Alleghanies. Then Rockefeller bought a eountTy-seat near Cleveland and Andrews bought another, and so the strife went on- When Rocke- feller was made president of the Standard Oil company Andrews became very leal- ous, and in order to show his own impor- tance he came in one day and asked Rocke- feller how matters were getting along. MT. Rockefeller said everything was going of right, and MT. Andrews asked for look at the books of the company. stYou can't see the books just now," said Rockefeller, ''but if you come in in day or two will have 6 statement made out for you"
 A few days later Sam Andrews came in again and asked for the books. In reply he was handed a long sheet of paper GOV cred with figures, which he was told was the statement of the condition of the | Standard Oil company. He looked at it, and as he did so hss face got red and his \ eyes grew angry
 "This is not what want, Mir. Rockefel- Ter, said he. ssI want to sec the books of the company. If I can't see the books want to sell my stock"
 ssWhat will you take for yOnr stockgH replied MT. Rockefeller, very coolly reach. ing for his check-book-
 .I want just one million dollars cash, said Andrews.
 ssAl right; you shall have it." replied the president of the Standard Oil compa | ny, and he thereupon wrote out a checl for one million dollars for Mr. Andrews Andrews had to take it or back down H. was ashamed to refuse, and he had for th' next few months all he could do in tryinE to invest that million dollars.

Seven Hours Sleep at Least.


 There is not one man or woman in 10, 900 who can afford to do without seven or eight hours sleep. All those stories writ ten about great men and women who slept only three or four hours night make very interesting reading, but tell you, my read s,no man or woman ever yet kept healthy in body and mind for number of years with less than seven hours sleep. Ameri- cans need more sleep than they are getting. This lack makes them so nervous and the insane asylum so populous. If you can get to bed earley, then rise early. If you cannot get to bed till late, then rise late. It may be as Christian for one man to rise at s as it is for another to get up at ]. I counsel my readers to get up when they are rested. But let the rousing bell be rung at least thirty minutes before your public appearance. Physicians say that a sudden jump out of bed gives irregular motion to the pulse. It takes hours to get over a too sudden rising. Give us time af- ter you call us to roll over, gaze at the world full in the face, and look before we leap.

FACTS VERSUS THEORY


 Some of the free traders have been tell ing about the decay of New England, and Hon. George S. Boutwell, has been looking into the matter little in order to see if there is any foundation for the state ments they have made. In the October Forum he sets forth some facts. He shows that the manufacturing industries of Massachusetts have increased since the census of 1880 in a ratio far in excess of the increase in population. In 1889 there was an increase of more than 45, ,000 in the number of depositors in the state savings banks over the number in 1860. 'There- port of the commissioner of education for 1885," Mir. Boutwell, says, "shows that the amount raised by taxes in New England, in proportion to the number of children of the school-going age, was far in excess of the amount raised in like manner in any other sec tion." A very important item, in view of the oft-repeated tale that New England agriculture is declining, is the fact that in 1885 the agricultural products of Massa. chusetts were valued at $47, 7,0O0, ,000, as against s37, ,OOO, 900 in 1875, and against $32, ,OO0, 900 in 1865. Here, then, is an in crease of about 40 per cent. in the quan tity of products, and an increase of about l 30 per cent. in value between 1875 ana 1885. Again, in 1885, there were 77,OOt persons employed in agriculture in Massa chusetts, more than half of them propri etors, as against 70, 900 in 1875, and agains 6S, ,OOO in 1865.

A Former Locomotive Engineer Tells
 How He Became a Preacher.
 From the Spokane chrunicle.l
 Henry Barnhart of Pendleton, to whom the Methodist conference, in session at Spo- kane, gave the title of reverend on Tues day, tells the following story of his conver- sion:
 During the best thirteen years of my life was employed by different railroads in the capacity of engineer. Railroad men as class are very reckless, and some of them am sorry to say, indulge in an ex- travagant use of profanity. I was no ex- ception to the general rule. I smoked, chewed, and took an occasional drink of stronger fluid than water; in fact was a typical railroader. That tells the whole story. My besetting sin was, however, s violent temper. At the least provocation l would fly into rage, and fits of anger even threatened my health
 ''The last two years of my railroad life worked on the Union Pacific railroad Men are usually very superstitious, and whether it was superstition or realism I have never been fully able to determine. even with the additional light thrown up- on the subject when viewed through the clear senses of Christianity; but during all this time something within me seemed to tell me that I must lead a different life. Then came the awful wreck in the Buel Mountains, which is still remembered by almost every one.
 My fireman was killed by my side, and have believed ever since that terrible night that the age of miracles was not passed, but that my life was saved for a | specific purpose.
 '.After the first shock I remember noth- | ing, still there seemed to be a consciousness | of a superior existence greater than had | ever sustained before Perhaps it was the nearness of the valley of the shadow and | perhaps the hand of the Shepherd cheered | my walk from light to darkness again in | to light. I know not, nor do I care to | know,
 | "When external consciousness again re. turned was lying on eouch and by my side was my dear old mother, to whose | early instruction owe greater debt than Il I can ever pay. She gave me the same | good counsels as in days gone by, and pre- pared me for the life was to live in the future. I was seriously injured, and
 while I lay upon my bed meditated upon
 the troubles which she had told me and
 considered the Christian actions of hel
 life. I resolved to become Christian
 When partially regained my strength
 They told me that all had to do was t
 declare myself saved and that would b,

 lady who put me in the right way. I ex

MANS RIGHTS AT HOME.

A mans house is his castle, but there are some things he cannot do there. The Supreme court of the State of Washington goes so far as to say that q man cannot smoke opium in his own house, the legis- lature of the State having made law de- nying him that privilege. A minority of the judges conceded the power of the legis- lature to regulate vicious personal habits in public, or even in private when, injuri- ous to..society at large. But they denied the right of government to invade mans home and control his conduct there when injurious to no one but himself. ''It is the one great principle of our form of government" says Judge White, ''ex- pressed through that soul-inspiring docu- ment, our national constitution, that the individual right of self-control is not to be limited beyond what is necessary to pro mote the general welfare" The majority oi the judges, however, thought otherwise They said: If the state concludes that giver habit is detrimental to either the moral, mental or physical well being of one of it' citizens to such an extent that he is liabl, to become burden on society, it has aI undoubted right to restrain the citizer from the commission of that act, and fai and equitable consideration of the right of other citizens makes it not only it
 right but it's duty to restrain him. If
 man wilfully cuts off his hand or maim himself in such way that he is liable t.
 become public charge no one will doub
 the right of the state to punish him; ant
 if he smokes opium, thereby destroyin
 his intellect and shattering his nerves, is difficult to see why limitation of pow
 CT should be imposed upon the state il such case.
 This decission will cause much discus sion. Many men will feel that if they can
 not use opium or get drunk at home thei
 personal liberty is sadly and illegal
 damaged. And many good lawyers wi
 agree with them.

TWO BIC CHECKS.
MT. Rockefeller,s Was for a Million,

MT. Rockefellerss Was for a Million,
 Hut Jay Gould,s Was for Two.
 The largest check ever given in this country was that given by Jay Gould to Thomas Allen for the Iron Mountain. He paid two million dollars for it, and he handed Allen a check for that amount upon his acceptance of his offer. Allen looked at the paper that represented this vast sum and said: s1sn't this good deal of money for one man to have in one bankf q don't know," replied Gould, "perhaps it is. Let me have the check" !" Allen then handed the check back to Gould, and he handed it over to his office boy, saying: "Here, boy, take this check to the bank and have the cashier certify to it.n And the boy went out and did it.
 Rufus P. Ranney, of Cleveland, one of the most distinguished lawyers in this country, once told me of check for one million dollars which was given by John D. Rockefeller. It was drawn in favor of Sam Andrews, another coal-oil millionaire, and was accepted by Andrews only be- cause he was too proud to refuse 1t. Rockefeller and Andrews were poor young men in Cleveland together twenty or thlr- \ ty years ago. In connection with Flagler and others they organized the Standard Oil company. and at once began to make money and grow rich. Rockefeller in some way got the start of Andrews, and Andrews was very jealous of his growing power and wealth. He tried to outshine Rockefeller in everything he did, and

CATHARINE,s CRUELTY. A Smile that Cost a Russian Prince His Lands, Family and Liberty.

A Smile that Cost a Russian Prince His Lands, Family and Liberty.
 The Veritzins were nobles of enormous wealth and power. Paul held high office in court. One night, glittering with jew one of the handsomest men in Russia, danced in aquadrille opposite the empress, says Chatter. As she passed him in the dance she fancied that his eyes scanned her gross figure with covert amusement. After the quadrille she beckoned to him, and with smile handed him her ivory tablet, containing seven pages. one for each day in the week. On the first was writ ten:
 ''The imperial ball room, St. Peters burg"
 On the last:
 ''The mines, Siberia" . He read it; his face grew gray as that of a corpse; he boweflow, kissed her hand and withdrew, taking" says the old ! chronicle, 'shis wife, the beautiful Princess Novgorod, with him." He was heard to say as he left the ball room: /! My minutes are numbered; let us not ; lose one."
 1 Flight or resistence was impossible. The hold of Catharine on her victim was mex orable as death. Prince Veritzin was fore ed to remain passive in his palace, while each day the power, the wealth and the happiness that life had given him were stripped from him.
 First he was degraded from all his off ces at court; next his estates were confisca- ted by the crown: his friends were forbid den to hold any communication with him his very name, ,one of the noblest in Russia was taken from him ,and he was given thai of serf. Then his wife and children wers driven out of the palace to heard with beg gars. ''The last day." says the record, ''Pau veritzin, in rags and barefoot, chained to convict, bade an eternal farewell to hi home and departed to the dark and ic, north. He was seen of men no more."

Indian Police Arrest Him: at His Camp and
Fighting Follows.
Fort YATES, S. D., Dec. 15.-Sitting
Bull was arrested this morning at day
light by the Indian police. Friends at
tempted his rescue and a fight ensued.
ISitting Bull, his son Black Bird, Catch
Bear and four other hostiles, together
with seven of the best police under
|Capt. Fecht, were killed.
AS soon as the firing had ceased three
troops of cavalry came to the rescue OF
1.-THE Indian police, who were being rout-
led by the skilled sharpshooters of hos
titles.
They brought with them two machine
|guns, which were turned loose upon
Sitting Bulls followers, and within
five minutes the savages were out of
range and leaving alta furious rate on
their feet ponies toward the Bad Lands
where Short Bull and Crow Dog are In
Itrenched with 200 Ogallala bucks. The
police, were on their way back to Stand
ing Rock when Black Bird, the tall and
Iathletic son of the famous chief, urged
his comrades to recapture the old man.
| uo WOuOu duu Cu11uEGu wore 161G In
the bushes and then with yells the hos
tiles charged upon the police, firing as
they came A hand-to-hand struggle
ensded, during which Sitting Bull, who
was not shackled, gave his orders in a
loud voice.
For several minutes the firing was
heavy and deadly. Nearly every man
who was hit was killed. In the furious
flsillade Sitting Bull fell. out Of his
saddle, pierced by bullet, but it is
mot known whether it was fired by the
charging party or one of the police.
Black Bird was also slain almost at the
first volley Of the police. The hostiles
fired with deadly accuracy, and slowly
drove the officers from the field.
II the cavalry had not come at this
time it is probable that the force would
have been annihilated. Sitting Bulls
body which had been abandoned BY the
|police was recaptured as we'll as that Of
