Petroleum..

Considering the various theories in re-.
gard to the origin of petroleum, Mr.. Ed
ward Orton, in the last report OF the
United States Geological Survey, finds
the following to be the best supported
propositions: 1. Petroleum is derived
from organic matter. Q. 1t is much more
largely derived from vegetable than from
animal substances. 8. Petroleum of the
Pennsylvania type is derived from the Or
eanic matter of bituminous sha!es, and is
ofvcsetable origin. 4. Petroleum OF
the Canada and Lima type is derived
from lirnestones, aud is of animal origin.
5. Petroleum has been produced at nor
NAL rock temperatures Gn Ohio felds),
and is not product of destructive dis
tillation Of bituminous shales. 6. The
stock of petroleum in the rocks is already
practically complete.

The Prince and the Sentinel.

The Paris Petite Press tells funny story
about the young Prince Royal of Greece.
a year ago this young man was engaged
to the Princess Imperial of Germany and
Immediately set out on his sparkling ex'
pedition. The young lady lived in the
Palace OF Potsdam, and the Prince used to
90 there frequently from Berlin. Al
f-st he made stated visits and was taken
in carriage from the railway station to
the palace But one day he took it into
bis head to pay on informal visit.
Dressed in plain civilian clothes he
boarded the train, and on arriving at the
railway station took the first vehicle he
could hire. When he reached the palace
q sentinel was of course at the gate.
"Wcr da2" growled the big Prussian.
"Tis l." said the Prince, "the Crown
Prince Of Greece and the fancc Of the
Princess. Let me pass"
"You are nice looking Prince Royal,
you are! And Princess masher, eai
Get awayw
The Prince insisted and got angry.
The soldier thought he was poor
crank, and tried to bring him to hi:
senses. "Now, my fine fellow" said
he, "don't make fuss. You can talk
as much as you please, but l know my
business. A Prince, my boy, always has
fine uniform, with cooked hat and
feathers and bushel of decorations.
Oh, saw our Fritz, and you can't fool
me. Now, 60 away!"
Noticing lackey, the Prince bcczoned
to him, and, after scribbling few lines
on the back of the card, told him to
take it to the Empress. The lackey
went off on his errand. The sentinel
grinned. A crazy man might fool q
lackey, but an old soldier wasn't to be
taken in. But what was his astonish.
ment when lie saw the Princess coming
to meet the poor crank and welcoming
him in the most affectionatc manner.
Then she took him into the palace.
"Nell, swami" exclaimed the senti'
mel. "Ifa beggar man comes up to me
the next time I'm on guard and tells me
he's the Pope I'll kneel down and get hi
blessing" - -:

Ray.
II do not know, Ray, where your

II know now that that storm was

Rays eyes shone now like two great
stars, and it seemed that every particle
of p,ood in his body had rushed to his
face. His blood was on fire, anil he
was in great danger, but in his pres
ent state of excitement he could not
realize his condition, and did not seem
to understand fully all that Jeanette
lad said.
THAT is all I have to say, Ray, and
now good-by, and-good-by forever!
Ray gazed at her in very strange
manner, as if he did not understand
what she said; his eyes were like two
great balls of fire, and mis- hands and
knees were trembling as those of on
old man stricken with palsy. He said
nothing, but sat gazing at Jeanette
with that strange, unnatural look.
By and by he rose and left the room,
but his limbs refused to carry the
light weight of his body, and he sank
to the floor as he reached his room.
Jeanette Nathan died that night
before midnight, and the mansion was
dark and desolate indeed.
She hal her revenge, but of what
avail to self or mortal man?

ALGIERS.
THE OLD HOME OF PIRACY as
IT EXISTS TO-DAY.
A Picturesque City, Inhabited by
$4,000 Quaint and Not Over
Cleanly People-The Sur
rounding Country.

Algiers contains in round numbers,
$4,000 inhabitants, and is the capital of
the largest French colony. The French
occupancy dates from 1880, when an
army was landed and forcible possession
taken of the city of Algiers. The reason
for this action was found in the injuries
inflicted on French commerce, but even
more in personal outrage on the French
Consul by the Dey of Algiers some three
years previously. Attacks and block
ade from seaward having proved inef-
fectual, the shore expedition was resolved
upon, and in less than month after
landing was effected the Dey had fled to
Naples and French rule began. At first
the French ostensibly sought only salts
faction for injuries received, but in 1888
they declared their intention of retaining
the country acquired. Among the bene-
fits which their possessions conferred,
not alone on France, but on humanity in
general, was the suppression Of Algerine
piracy forever.

STEAMSHIP DRINKING AND GAMBLING.

A Liverpool correspondent of the Cleve-
land Ohio Leader calls public attention to
what he designates as "a great and growing
curse in ocean travel" which American pub
lie sentiment, he afFirms, should put an end
to. He says: 1T is an undeniable fact that
the smoking-room OF every passenger vessel
now afoat, the only place on steamship
where a gentleman may enjoy his custom
ary cigar, is. from port to port, no less than
a veritable gambling hell Of the most per-
nicious and vicious sort" He criticses the
steamship companies sharply for permitting
organized bands Of gamblers to travel on
their vessels for the purpose Of robbery, and
adds: lone can find no motive for the In
fanny save the paltry one that tue environ
ment of poker and daily POOLS selling-in 9TH
er words, the anxiety AMI excitement Of the
ordinary gambling-house-tr in
creases the sales of liquors at the bar. But
it does" He further says: In the second
class cabin. and also in the steerage are the
same seductive 'smoking-roon' and barr
This ocean steamer dissipation is q great and
growing evil which all who travel, and those
Who do not, should in every possible way
discourage, and seek as speedily as may be,
to abolish. To the young and the inexPe-
rienced an ocean voyage is needlessly peril
Gus as involving the avoidable danger or
moral shipwreck and ruin.

THE RUIN OF MILLIONS.

"With the privileges and customs Of social
ife, so marked as product Of the modern
pirit, the young man needs double care in
resisting the temptations that will certainly
oeset him. If It were not for the social
:heer among them, many glass would be
eft untouched. Bare, blank drinking Of
ieadly alcohol by itself is not what first de-
,oys young men, but the social features sur.
rounding the drink habit that makes 1t fatally
charming. How the Satanic lights shine, to-
blind the dram-drinker to the danger and
destruction ahead! Let US take drink to-
Bether,' is the deceptive voice Of companion
ihip which considers treating mani. and
generous act. This Is an orderly and re-
pectable saloon;' it is the last false light
with which Satan would dazzle the eye Of
American youth, and allure the popular
heart from its burning determination Of
prohibiting the Internal traffic. There have
been millions drunkards on their death-beds,
who could testify that their ruin began In
the social glass. They had no thought of
drunkenness. But the fatal charm led them
IN step by step, until their will was en-
,laved, and at last drew them down to
irunkard's grave, and landed their souls in
irunkard's hell"

TIPpLERs TO BE osrnAc1zED.

A singular crusade has been iuaugurated
by Rev. Father Ziegier, of St Michaaps
Church. st. Louis. one Of the most infuen-
tial Catholic parishes Of the city. Father
Zegler has from time to time made efforts
to close the saloons in his parish on Sundays,
but was only partially successful and the
intemperance among the parishioners was
unchecked, and hard drinking among the
younger members Of the congregation In
creased ut an alarming rate. On Sunday,
says the New Orleans mes-DemocrGt he
announced from the altar that he had pre-
pared list Of the habitual drinkers and that
this list had been handed to q committee OF
sixty ladies Of the congregation, and unless;
immediaterefoTmf follows members on thislisl
will be socially ostracized. The committee Of
young ladies will keepa watch on the young
men and on the saloons, and every drinkef
will be spotted and the names Of tie unref

case the whole figure and face are con-
cealed BY flowing robe or mantle, leav-
ing only peep hole for the eyes. See
ing nothing but these dark, gazelle like
eyes, of which extreme care is taken to
render them as large and lustrous as art
can make them, one might fancy the own

analogy which forces us, from the ap-
pearance of the children or of faces acci-
dentally exposed,t to believe them in most
cases to have little worth hiding. Still,
enough exceptions can be found of beau
ty of form and figure to prove the rule
of general ugliness.
mosques are naturally feature Of the
city, aud visit to them serves to stimu-
late as we'll as partly to appease curiosity
regarding the Moslem religion. One of
these, the mosque of El-Djedid, is
prominent landmark on entering the
harbor, as, indeed, it is conspicuous in
almost any REV of the city, on account
of its tall minaret, its large and elegant
dome and spotless white walls. It is
situated at one end of the boulevard, and
covers an area of two thousand square
yards. Neither on the exterior nor the
interior are there any attempts at decora-
ton. The whole is masonwork, pure
and simple. 1t is after sunset rs we enter
and take of our shoes to tread the mat
ting with which the floor is covered.
The interior is dimly lighted by many
small night lights, giving rather pretty
effect in themselves, but entirely in
sufficient for purposes of illumination.
The interior is singularly bare. Chief
among the mosques is the Great Mosque
in the Rue de la Marine, the most i'm
oortant, as it is almost the oldest in Al
yiers, dating, it is stated, from the
eleventh century. But they are all dis
appointing. There is little to interest in
he simple service. The congregation

"He was great orator and grand, noble.

In one Of his biographies. When he came out
Of it I never saw man feel so in all my Life.
He cried like baby and vowed that he
would never speak before an audience again,
and. if remember rightly, he cancelled his
engagements for the rest Of that year. BE

into the beasts fanks and ridden for miles
