Mrs. Alice Elmendorf, wife of Z.
M. Elmendorf, who was for some
time in charge of the Corner drug
store, has created some sensation in
this place this summer After her
husband was discharged from his
position last spring she remained in
town while he went in search of
another position. After a short
time her husband wrote for her to
join him at Elmira, but she refused
to go and to answer his letter. He
wrote several times and finally came
to Dushore but all i'll vain. She re-
mained at this place until about two
weeks ago when she went to
Elmira, called on lady of her ac-
quaintance and asked to leave her
two-year4old son while she went out
shopping, since which time nothing
is known of her whereabouts. 4
note was found on the clothing of
the child that he should be taken to
his father. Many here suspicion
where she has gone, but it will prob
ably be best not to say more at
present.

Pianos Organs.

The improved method of fastening strings of
Pianos, invented by u.s. is one Of the most i'm
portant improvements ever made, making the
instrument more richly musical in tone, more
durable. and less liable to get out of tone.
Both the Mason d Hamin Organs and
Pianos excel chiefly in that which is the chief
excellence in any musical instrument, quality
Of tone. Other things. though important, are
much less so than this. An instrument with
unmusical tones cannot be good. Illustrated

Arc Stones Alive?

A few weeks ago The Saturday Republic
gave the results OF some startling experiments
by Mr.. Mason Kline, of California, i'll which
that gentleman laid claim to having dlscov-
cred sex in mineral atoms. From the follow
ing it will be seen that E. ID. Walker, the
scientist and writer, anticipated the Pacific
slope philosopher by about two years The
extract given below is from an article oy
Mr.. Walker written in 1887:
"Wc generally think Of minerals as dead
lumys of inactive matter But they may
tru,hfuly be said to he alive, creatures OF
vital pulsatons and separated into individu-
ais as distinct ns the pines in u forest or tigers
in Jungle The dispositions Of crystals are
as diverse as those Of animals. They throb
with unseen currents of energy. They grow
in size as long as they have opportunity.
They can bo killed, too, though not US easily
as all oak or II dog.
"a strong electric current discharged
through crystal will decompose it very
rapidly If it be of soft structure, causing the
particles 20 gradually disintegrate in the re-
verse order to its growth, until the poor thing
lies dead shapeless ruin 1t is true the
CRYSTALS life is unlike that OF higher crea-
lures. But the difference between vegetable
and animal life is no greater than that be-
tween mineral and vegetable life. Linnnus,
the great Swedish naturalist, defined the
three great kingdoms by saying: Stones
grow, plants grow and feel, animals grow
aud feel and movr.'"
While Walker mentions nothing Of sex in
stones, it is plain that his ideas respecting
them were identical with the wonderful
truths Mr. Kinne thinks he has demonstrated
ir his microscopical researches. st Louis

A Humane Age.

A commercial and manufacturing age is
not necessarily one of greed and seltishness.
This is pre-eminently such an epoch and the
finer humauities" have more practical rec
ognition now than in former periods Of the
worlds history. Phllanthropic enterprises
as well as philanthropic societies abound.
The condition OF the destitute poor eXcites
more notice than formerly. The reform Of
prisons, their discipline and their sanitary
aspects is getting to be general. The mitiga-
ton Of the rigors of criminal codes is a
feature of the times The nearly complete
sweeping away of the disabilities OF women is
significant The laws for the protection OF min
ors is:in the same line. War is being measura-
bly, relieved from its barbarlties. lnstitu-
tions of exceptional iniquity are disappearing.
School room abuses are getting rarer. The
public will not tolerate outrages on the insane
and on paupers under public care. Provisions
for safety at sea are multiplying and the
time is at hand when fire escapes in exposed
buildings will be compulsory. All around
there is evidence Of keen and effective recos-
milton ol the claims of humanity, and it is Il
pleasure to note it-Pittsburg Chronicle

A Dogs Mur,lerous Revenge.

A corr,pondent of The London Field re-
lat,s the following instance of canine retri-
button which came under his notice: Two
sbcplerrls on the North DcrbyaAire noors,
living in adjoining cottages far removed from
any other dwelling, had each dog Of the cur
breed that were sisters One of these gave
birth a few weeks ago to a litter OF five
~hel,,s, and all seemed to 80 well with them
until the 2Stn of last month. On that day, in
the early morning, the mother OF the pups
WAS in the yard eating her breakfast ws'en
tho sister appeared on the scene. An attempt
was made by the intruder to share the meal
This was resented by n snari and growl,
which failed to drive of the hungry sister,
and again she essayed to aYpease her appe-
tite, when she was fercely attacked and 81
verelv mauled, and went limping away howl
ing with pain. About al hour after this in
cident, tho owner Of the cur with family
went ON his round of inspection, taking his
dog nlon, with him. Their departure would
appear to have been noticed by the van
uuislx.d sister, for about an hour afterwards
She steaitLiiy made her way to the stable,
wherein were the whelps before named, and
worried them all. Having accomplished this
terrible revenge, she proceeded to carry off
her victims to a place of concealnent, but
was caught in the act by one OF the shop
herds children.

THE WHISPERING Lutte.

Der David's couch, as old tradition says,
There hung Lutte tuned ever to Gods praise.
And when upon the passing OF the night,
The soft wind whispered toward the gates o.
light,
The Lutte filed all the chamber OF the king
With It's neoJious murniuring.
Then woke the royal singer, and with head
Half raised, MS if he heard an angels tread,
listened, until, his poet soul on fire,
He caught with eager, yearning hands the Tyre.
And sang the songs the worlds heart snSs
again
Inspired outpourngs of the souls of men.
SO, DER our heads, new dawning truth abroad,
The whispering lutes sing swecter thoughts OF
God.
O poet whom the world has waited long,
Come, snite tho murnluring harp strings clear
and strong
Come, thou new seer, who shalt rise and sing
This days evnngel Of thy God anil King!

Trade Mark Law.

The word trade mark" is not, rs many
people enormously suppose confined TO
registered trade mark, but includes that sense
of the word Trade mark has been defined
by the United States supreme court to be
just what Webster's Dictionary defines 1t, "A
distinguishing mark or device USED by
manufacturer on his goods or labels, the legal
right in which is recognized by law" The
act of congress of March ., 1851, provided for
registering trade marks Of aliens, as well as
citizens, by causing TO he recorded in the pat
ent office statement specifying name, domi-
cile, location aLI citizenship of the party
npplying, the class of merchandise and
the particular description of goods
comprised in such class to which the
particular trade mark has been appropri-
ated description of the trade mark itself
with ac.similes thereof, and statement OF
the mode in which the same is applied and
affixed to goods, aud the length of time dur
ing which the trade mark has been used.
This application nust be accompanied by
proof of its veracty and the rights claimed.
Tn. certificate when issued remains in force
for thirty years, and can he renewed. The
government fee is $25. The manufacture,
sale, offering for sale or dealing i'll any goods
substantially of the same descriptive proper
ties as those referred to in the registration Of
any trade mark or the atfixing OF fraudu-
lent trade mark is punishable by n fine not

cecding two years, or both. The same me

Ancient Arabia.

We gather that as far back as the time of
Solomon rich and cultured Sabaean king
dom hourished in the south of Arabia, the
influence of which, if not its authority, ex-
tended to the borders of Palestine, and be-
tween which and Syria an active commercial
intercourse was carried ON by land as we'll as
by sea. The kingdom of Saba had been pre-
coded by the kingdom of Main, equally civ
ilized and equally powerful, whose garrisons
and colonies We're stationed on the high road
which led past Mecca to the countries OF the
Mediterranean. Throughout this vast OK
tent of territory alphabetic writing i'll vari-
GUS forms was known and practiced, the Phoe-
nician alphabet being the source from which
it was derived. The belief accordingly that
pre- Mohammedan Arabia wa land OF illit-
crate nomads must he abandoned; it was not
Islam that introduced writing into it, but the
princes and merchants of Main and rhamud,
centuries upon centuries before If Moham-
nedan Arabia knew nothing of its past it
was not because the past had left no records
behind it--ContenpOrary it Review.
