A NOTABLE CASE.

The recent death. sad and untimely, Of
A. NJ. Maekay. the scotch missionary,
which was reported from Zanzibar a short
time ago. gives striking testimony 10 the
high order. not only OF evangeliEing but also
OF administrative talent that is frequently
enlisted in this field OF humane activity and
usefulness. Mr.. Maekay is the mission
AIRY to whom that prince of African ex-
plorers. Henry NJ. Stanley, once referred as
the modern Livingstone" but while like
Livingstone in zeal and conservation, he
exeellei him in tact. endurance and fruit
tulness OF expedients.
While yet little more than mere boy Mac
kay was placed at the head Of the Uganda
station of the Church missionary society,
At that time the genial and humane NJ less
was king OF Uganda, over whom Mackay,
by reason of his modest. unassuming de-
meanor and devotion 30 good works, ae-
quired an influence which during that SOW
cfeiEu's life made him virtual ruler OF the
Kingdom while building up religious insti-
tniiens and prosecuting explorations of
great value to geographers. He adapted
himself tn all spheres Of usefulness, and
was no less ready 10 make pair of shoes
for heather convict than TO lead a Bible
class.
But IL was upon the death of Mtcsa. his
half ratron and hall prosege, that Maekay
commenced the experience which most
fully tested and proved his extraordinary
capacities. IL was then that the brutal
hwsnss succeeded TO the kingIy Office, by
whom the Christian converts We're pat To
torture. and all except MAekay of the mis-
sionsries were banishes lie was SHARED
because of his skil in all works of handi-
craft. and for quite awhile served az slave
TO the haresrons black king. In the course
~ time. because of his brutal excuses.
Mwsnga was driven from power, and in his
extremity turned appealingly TO his late
slave for aid. This afforded Macksy an
opportunity To exhibit his tact and ex-
EMPTY bis creed OF returning good for evil.
OF which he promptly awaited himself hv

Shortly Afterwards. On his manifestation

restored 10 power. and then q; Was that the

DIR. F. 2. Blodgett and wife, of Anso-
MIA, Conn, had an odd experience with
electricity the other day. After a heavy
ownpour of rain, during which there
~s only one fash of lightning, MIS-.
6lodgett went into the kitchen to get a
knife, which was placed over the sink
between the water pipe and the wall.
As her fingers touched it she was sent
staggering away by a severe shock of
electricity. She called her husband from
his Office and asked him to get the knife
for her. He had all he could do to keep
from falling to the floor.
In attempting to draw water from the
pipe DIR. Blodgett received a severe shock,
though a pipe in his office ON the same
floor was not affected in the least. I'm
der the sink were kept the iron pots and
kettles used in the kitchen. On opening
the door Of the sink sparks were seen
jumping from one point to another with
n loud noise. The utensils were removed
with difficulty for fear of fire.
During the display DIR. Blodgett took
up a cake OF soap from an iron soap dish.
He did not touch the iron, but he re-
ceived a shock from the soap that made
every nerve Jingle, and the shock con-
tinued IA long as he held the soap

What r termed hollow cast iron
bricks are the invention of an Erfurt
mechanic. AS the name indicates
they are made of regular brick form
and size, the walls being 0.12 inches
thick, but no mortar OF other binding
material is intended to enter into their
use, the method of fastening adopted
being as follows; The upper and lower
sides of the brick are provided with
grooves and protecting ribs, which fit
into n another easily and perfectly,
so as to make a uniform and complete
union or combination.
There are in addition two large cir
cular openings in the upper side of
each brick, arranged to receive suit
ably formed projections on the lower
side of the brick above, one of these
projections being also hooked shape,
thus securing a more secure hold; and
in order that the joints be made and
remain air and water tight a fluid is
applied to the surface of the bricks
with a brush. The non-conducting air
spaces in the bricks. and the ease with
which they may be put together and
taken apart without iniuring them, are
cited as special advantages in their ia

In California, it is said, they have
no smaller coin in circulation than a
nickel. People in that land of sudden
fortunes and wholesale incomes cannot
appreciate the turning of a penny or
even the chase of the ''nimble six
pence" A San Francisco paper illus
trates the contempt of Californians for
pennies by the following:
"Give me silver for this, please, - said
an Eastern tourist yesterday, as he
dumped n double handful of one cent
pieces on the counter of a prominent
money broker.
81 don't want them. They're not
worth counting. ] wouldn't give fifty
cents on the dollar for them" was the
reply.
81 never took them but once and
then 4had TO. A fellow owed me five
dollars, and after repeated duns offered
payment in coppers. The next day Inc
came in, and showing a copper cent in
my hand asked me to give him credit
for that amount upon the debt.
II kept that up, making a payment
of one cent every morning, noon and
night-three cents every day-until |

1t is safe to say. said a New York
physician. that one cannot give what
one does not have to give. The same is
true of a dog. II he has not hydro
phobia he cannot communicate it. So
there is no reasonable cause for the
fright displayed by some persons if they
but get their skins broken by n dog
whose health is perfect. Men who are
in the habit of handling dogs think moth
ing of their bites. Dog ~fanciers and dog
trainers are frequently bitten. and think
nothing of it.
The men who handle fighting dogs pay
scarcely any attention to dog bites I'M
less they are severe. and then apply or
binary remedies. I myself. have been
several times bitten-not by mad dogs
of course-and have suffered little or no
discomfort. There are many things
worse than the bite of u healthy dog. |
will take it any time in preference to u
bad burn or a cut with n rusty nail. A
little common sense ought to be used in
this as in other matters. New York
