showed conclusively that he had ordered the ar
rest OF Sitting Bull just in the nick of time An

One of the best lemon squeezers ever
invented has just been patented. 1t is
designed especially for hotel keepers,
and Others whose business includes that
of making lemon squashes and similar
drinks, 1t is worked by the foot, and
can be operated quickly and easily. 1t
consists of a sliding bracket containing
a cup for the lemon and a superlying
stud for pressing the same, a glass fit
ting underneath. Pressure is made by
the foot on a treadle, to which is at
tached an iron rod, the other end of
which is connected to the sliding
squeezer. Care has been taken In tho
design to avoid all sharp edges, and
the cups are made of the hardest iron
stone china, and extra thick to avoid
all risk of breakage. The cost is stated
to be less than that of the screw presses
now in use, and the speed with which
the squeezer can be manipulated and
its simplicity are excellent recommend
ations.-New York Commercial AID

Exploration just made OF q czVern on
the Stewart farm, about two miles from
Damascus, armstrong county, has re-
vealed subterranean passages Of a some
what remarkable character. The en-
trance Is n perpendicular opening about
20 feet in depth. At the bottom the
place had the appearance OF an inverted
cone, with about one-third of the apex
and part Of the side cut off, and measur-
ing about "a feet at the base. The walls
are OF a dark gray color, rather smooth.
From here a corridor about 4 feet wide
and 3 feet high leads for several yards
10 a room where the light reveals a scene
of grandeur. Stalagmites and s~talactites
are IN profusion. and in shapes and forms
to almost equal those OF the Mammoth
cave.
The chamber is about 65 feet long by
30 feet wide. and the furthest end termi-
mates in q deep pool Of water. This
pond is perhaps 10 feet wide. The wa
ter Is pure as crystal. No living thing
was seen by the explorers except a pecul-
iarIy striped crustacean animal about 1
inch In length, resembling q crab, but Of
a dull yellowish color. The temperature
registered about SO dogs. In ono corner
OF the first cavern were found a few
specimens of arrow heads and an iron
knife, but nothing else to denote that a
human being had ever entered before.
Further than the pool exploration was
not made. A complete investigation
viii be undertaken by persons who have

Ten SymPtOIssP Peculiar to ChurchEoing
Members ON Wet Sundays.
When preachers banker for a rest the
6ock can hardly be condemned for doing
likewise. With the mercury travelling
above the 30 mark the inducements for
churchgoing are hardly as strong as
when the temperature is more moderate.
And when the regular shepherd is tax
ing in ocean or mountain breeLes the
part Of the flock which by necessity is
compelled to stay by the stuff can read
lily find excuses for absence from church
when a strange preacher fills the pulpit.
What with camp meetings, watering
places and hot weather the stay at home
preacher meets with slim congregations,
as a rule, during dog days.
There are not a few churches in this
city Of which a large proportion of the
membership are absent from the city
during the months Of July and August.
Some churches take advantage of the
summer lull to clean and renovate. 1t
has come to be understood that tho
pastor Is to have his rest at this season
Of tho year, and most Of the churches
stipulate this when the bond is made.
In the line of absenteeiSm from church
services tho following Is suggestive:
Tho attack comes on suddenly every
Sunday; no symptoms are felt on Sat
urday night; the patient sleeps well
and awakes feeling well; eats a hearty
breakfast, but about church time the
attack comes on and continues Until
the services are oyerfor the morning"
Then the patient feels easy and eats
a hearty dinner. In the afternoon he
feels much better and is able to take a
walk, talk politics and read the Sunday
papers, he eats a hearty supper, but
about church time he has another at
tack and stays at home. He retires
early, sleeps well and wakes Monday
morning refreshed and able TO go to
work, and does not have any synp-
toms of the disease till the following
Sunday.
The peculiar features of the disease
are as follows: /. 1t always attacks
members of the church. 9. 1t never
makes its appearance except on the
Sabbath. 3. The symptoms vary, but
it interferes with tho sleep or APP
petite. 4. 1t never lasts more than
twenty-four hours. o. 1t generally at
tacks the head of the family. 6. No
physician Is ever called. z. 1t always
proves fatal in tho end-to the soul
s. No remedy is known for it except
prayer. 0. Religion is the only anti
dote. 10. 1t is becoming fearfully
prevalent, and is sweeping thousands
every year prematurelyto destruction"

loon ascension at the exposition grounds
Saturday was the feature. 1t took place
shortly after ) .. IN. At that time a heavy
breeze was blowing, and it was thought
foolhardy TO attempt an ascent Rain
also fell, and Professor Bartholomew, who
had charge of this feature, was dubious.
Nevertheless, Jerry Waite appeared as
soon as the balloon was inflated, all ready
TO make his dangerous exhibition. lie
vent up like a shot and had difficulty In
maintaining his hold on the trapeZe.
When he had reached the maximum height
there was a panic, People grew nervous
watching the man. Mr.. Bartholo-
new, who knows only too well
that the drop must be taken
at the proper moment to make h
descent in safety, became uneasy The
balloon began to drop and the parachute
to open. A moment more and al, ave
nues of escape would be cut of. The
current of air would prevent the para
chute from being looseued and the bal
loon above it would dash the unfortunate
aeronaut from side to side and probably
kill him when the ground was reached.
Alter 4 breathless suspense, and when
the balloon had fallen nearly half way to
the earth, Waite finally succeeded in
making the drop Once in the fall the
parachute collapsed and Bartholomew
shut his eyes 1t opened again and
Waite landed safely among the trees On
