When Asbury Park is hot it is the hot
test place on the face of the earth. For
some occult reason the sun focalizes here,
and one goes around with the feeling that
he is directly under the rays Of a burning
glass. Why such a torrid spot should
have been selected for the camp meeting,
around which, as a nucleus, these places
have grown, it is difficult to imagine, but
perhaps the temperature rose afterward,
as the result of the concentration of so
much religious fervor in n spot. How
ever that may be, it is noticeable that
there is a rise as soon as II gets within
the boundary lines. Everybody focks to
the beach, preferring to sizzle gregari-
ously. Here are the lame, the halt and
the blind; grave and reverend clergy
men; colored people in great numbers;
mammas, with their nurses and little
ones. The babies are the only people
who display much energy, and they have
a good deal more than th&r nurses feel
to be at all desirable, considering the
position of the mercury. One class, how
ever, is conspicuous by its absence-a
pretty girl is a rara avis. Perhaps it is
the way the girls get themselves up, but
they produce the impression Of being a
singularly ill favored company.-New

students from the Carlisle School.

Sixty-two of the Indian students who
have spent five or more years at the Car
Isle Indian school at Carlisle, Pa, were
sent to their homes in the west recently.
Some went to Montana, some to Idaho,
others to Arizona, New Mexico, Indian
territory, Nebraska and Dakota, repre-
senting fifteen different Indian agencies.
This party of Indian youth was the
brightest crowd of boys and girls ever
sent out by the Carlisle school. In fact,
30 much confidence was placed in them
that they were allowed to return to their
western homes without an escort, some
thing never before done in the history Of
the school. The party consisted OF
lhirty-five large boys, elk small ones and
twenty-one girls. Some of them were
very glad to return to their relatives,
from whom they have been separated SO
long, but others appreciated the fact that
there is no salvation for them from the
Indian ways when once brought in con-
tact with them again at their homes, and
much preferred to remain in the east.
The demand of the parents, of course,
overthrows the desire of the young lndi-
ans, and the government, living up to its
obligation to return all students at the
expiration of their time, sends them
back.-Boston Transcript.

. GALLANT You've CHINAMAN.-

A GALLANT Young CHTNAMAN.-
A secretary of the Chinese Embassy in
Washington, was introduced to a lady,
who among other questions asked him ::
"What virtue do you most highly
prize in your women ?"
"The virtue of domesticity," was the
reply.
"Then you do not like your women
to move in society much ?" she ques-
toned.
"Not at all. The law even recog-
nizes cause for divorce when Il women
pardon me, madame-is inquisltive

"Then l would be in danger OF
being divorced if | lived in China, :
smilingly asked the lady.

The Largest Gas Well.

The new roaring gas well of the Phila-
delphia company, back of Canonsburg, in
Washington county, according to the
registered pressure, is the largest in the
world. The gas looks like a solid piece
of blue steel for some distance after it
comes out of the pipe, Solid masonry,
twelve feet thick, was put in around the
top of the well to hold the cap IN. The
tools and rope thrown over were, per-
haps, the heaviest of any yet moved in
that way. The iron in the tools weighed
5000 pounds; the wet rope, nearly 1900
feet long, weighed as much more, but all
was thrown up like a rocket. -Boston

Constantly look up. Be on the watch
for chances to rise, like a bird let
loose, though but for a moment into
the upper air. Such is the nature of
holiness. Being from God, it is ever
seeking to revert to its source. The
heavier the pressure of a mundane life
upon it, the stronger is the force Of its
compressed aspirations. Such pressure
is like that of the atmosphere on water,
which seeks through crevices its en-
closure, the level of its fountain. A
spirit like this will demand the habit
Of fragmentvry prayer for its W holy
indulgence, and will demand it with an

causes painful running sores on the arms,

deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can

fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.

another from liver or kidney disease, another

WHOLESALE POISONING.
Thirty-two Thousand Pounds of Dea
Fish Taken From Fox River.

Thirtv-two Thousand Pounds OF Dead
Fish Taken From Fox River.
Thirty-two thousand pounds of dead fish
were taken from Fox River near North
Aurora, recently. The river presented an
unusual spectacle, every available inch Of
water being covered by dead minnows, pike
and bass. The cause of this fearful mortal
ity emanated from the glucose works at
North Aurora. All the refuse matter from
these works is thrown into the river, poison
ing the water wherever it penetrates. and
Yesterday the attention of the State Fish
Commission was called to the wholesale de-
struction. A thorough investigation was
made along the river from Batavia to
Geneva and only four dead fish were found.
This made the evidence against the glucose
factories conclusive, and further eXamin-
alton of the refuse matter where the dead
fish were found brought the guilt home to the
Pode Manufacturing Company. Commits
siOner Buck was ordered to call on the COM
pany to present the report of the commission
on the cause of the wholesale poisoning.
The Commissioner placed the matter before
the company in strong light and notified
them that they must start pumping that
matter from the river Immediately. If they
failed to carry out the order of the COM
mission they would be held to the Grand
Jury. There were 5000 minnows, from three
to four inches long, hauled out of the river.
The remainder were pike, pckerel and bass
from four to six pounds each.-Chicago

NOVEL SCHEME OF INCENDIARIES.

They Put Cheese in Boxes of Matches
aud Trust to Rats for the Rest.
The numerous barn-burnings that have oc-
cured in the vicinity of Washington. Ind,
have aroused public indignation. The OBJ
ject of the incendiaries seems to be to burn
machinery and compel farmers to depend
upon day laborers in making their crop.
Some days ago Robert Carnahan, near this
city. found box of matches in his hay loft.
Not long after he found another box of
matches under similar circumstances. Half
of the matches had been removed. leaving
a vacant place in the box, and this was
filed with cheese and tightly closed. The
cheese attracted rats and mice, and in gnaw-
ing at the box to get at it the matches would
be ignited and the flames would spread to
the hay. A movement is now being inaugu-
rated TO arrest the incendiaries, as the losses
have become so frequent that insurance
companies are declining to take further
risks on exposed farm property.-Chicago

morphine to ease the pain and induce sleep.
The second time morphine was given the
girl she fell in a comatose state and never
regained consciousness. Then her brother
reported her death to the Coroner, alleging
that DIR. Terry was responsible.
An inquest and autopsy revealed the fact
that the girl died from shock and blood
poisoning. which were natural causes.
The doctor says he gave only the one
tenth of grain of morphine to the girl and
that her death was really caused by shock
to her nerves He was admitted to bail.

And from the chimney in the air
A smoke-sKein softly curls.
A willow ripples like the sea
In musical unrest
And cradles In its drapery
An ashen hornets nest.
Bright tulips at the doorway set
Their airy fragrance spill;
A jar of creamy mignonette
Is on the window-sill.
There is a struggling hedge of box
Beneath the drowsy trees;
The air is rich with rose aud phlox
And murmurous with bees.
The happy insects drone and hum
Mid daisies white as curds,
And in the swaying pear and plum
Ripple the songs OF birds.
The garden pathway wanders through
The quiet shade until
Beneath an elm 1t tails into

And all the baimy scene
Melts softly from my view behind
