FROM Mr.. II. T. DEGRAAF.
PRESIDENT OF THE BowERY NATIONAL aANE

r, NEW YORK. May :, 1sSS
My DEAR SIR: It affords me great pleasure
to Join the long list of grateful patients who
have been relieved from troublesome and obsti-
nate complaints by your superior skill. Ny case
was chronic catarrh. from which had suffered
to such an extent that it weakened my general
health and finally gave rise to such severe pain
In and about the head and throat that it pre-
vented me from sleeping and alarmed my fam
lily. am happy to state that the very frs. ap.
plication of your treatment gave me prompt
and decided relief. In few days the pain had
disappeared and by degrees the other DISTRESS
ing symptoms characteristic Of catarrh yielded
toyour administrations, until now find my
self completely cured. 1 therefore cheerfully
tender You this testimonial of your skill and
success. in the hope that others may be bene-
hted BY its publication. II. p. DEGRAAF.

Some Uses of Artificial Cold.

Prot. Edward L. Nichols in Chautauquan.
1t seems very probable that the day is not far
distant when brine, cooled below the freezing
point of water, will be carried under the streets
in pipes, as steam is now, supplying from GEN.
trail stations very convenient substitute for
ice in the domestic household. BY freezing in
our own houses water which has been pre-
viously boiled it will then be possible for us to
avoid contagion from disease germs contained
in ice gathered from impure sources. The
maintenance Of dwellings at 70o Fahrenheit
throughout the summer will then be as much a
matter of course as the warming Of a modern
house now is in winter.
Mechanical refrigeration has been success
frlly applied in the laying Of piers for bridges,
where treacherous silt and quicksand make
excavations by the ordinary methods difficult:
the semi-fuid material ut the bottom of the
caisson being frozen by the application Of pure
brine and removed while still solid. It see ms
probable that the same method may be of
service IN tunneling through such materials in
the beds of rivers. Indeed, the fields of use
fulness Of processes for the production of arti-
fetal cold are being extended daily, and they
doubtless are destined to take an even more
Important place in the industrial world of the
future than they have in that Of the past

Had Not Where to Lay Their Heads.


A Punxsutawny, Pa, special says: Last Tues
day night about O'Clock some of the striking
miners at Adrain and Walston came down to
Horatio for the purpose of trying to obtain
some money or food for their families, who
were in very needy circumstances and
after going around among their fellow miners,
they concluded to so and sleep on the coke
ovens. They were interfered with by the coal
and iron policeman, Samuel Smiles. who Or
dered them to vacate the company's prem
lses, and after the men had en-
dured all they could from the
officer one of the gang drew a revolver and
fired three shots into him, and late last night
the officer expired. The company Immediately
gave chase to the gang, numbering five, and
captured four, who gave their names as James
Olki, Thos Hurley, John Polk and Frank
Monroe. They were all sent to Jail. The man
with whom the policeman first came in contact,
John Hollingsworth, escaped. Many of the
others families are on the brink of starvation
They live in the poorest shanties and lead
miserable lives

The Queens Luggage.

Among the impedimenta with which the
queen started on her continental tour on Mon
day may be mentioned the following: Three
coachmen nine grooms, eight horses, one dom
key, three carriages, seventy-two trunks, three
special beds, C special cooking stove, wine, two
doctors, one surgeon. one surgeon accoucheur
for the Princess Beatrice. three Understandable
ing, nine women servants. one lord, two eouer-
ries, seven dogs. Her majesty was in usually
gracious mood, and on the Dover boat smiled
sweetly on Prince Battenburg, now completely
restored to royal favor.

Paying a Rector to Resign.

The long-standing trouble between the
vestry of Trinity Episcopal Church, Pittsburs,
and the Rev. Samuel Maxwell, the rector. has
been settled by an agreement that he be paid
$4,000 by the congregation to resign on June 1.
This arrangement was reached, after frequent
conferences, to save the parish from disinte-
grafton. The yestry asked Mr.. Maxwell to re-
sign some weeks ago, but he declined to do 40.
The refusal OF the vestry to lease the parsonage
another year. II was thought, would force his
withdrawal, but he leased the parsonage him
self and continued to preach. The canons of
the church prevented his dismissal in the alb
sence Of ofense against the laws, proven upon
trial, and the financial compromise was under
taken as a last resort. The trouble was pre-
cipitated by Mr.. MaxwelIs refusal in the do
cesar convention last year to support John II.
Shoenberger, the iron manufacturer and mil
honaire, for lay delegate to the general con-
vention- Mr.. Shoenberger was for many years
member Of Trinity parish, but having re-
moved to New York there was opposition in
the diocese TO mis- continuance as lay delegate.
and Mr.. Maxwell said that he could not be a
party 10 an attempt to override the church
laws.

The International Boundary.

from the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The boundary line between the United States
and Canada is not Imaginary" as most people
suppose. The fact is the line is distinctly
marked from Lake Michigan to Alaska by
cairns. iron pillars, earth mounds and timber
clearings. There are Ss5 Of these marks be-
tween the Lake Of the Woods and the base of
the Rocky mountains. The British placed one
post every two miles and the United States one
between each British post. The posts are of
cast iron. and cast on their faces are the words
