HOTTEST SPOT ON EARTH.

Where the People Obtain Their Water
from the Bottom of the Sea.
The hottest region Oh the earth, says
the Boston Herald, is On the South
western coast Of Persia, where Persia
borders the gulf of the same name.
For forty consecutive days in the
month of July and August the Their
1nometer has been known not to fail
lower than 100 degrees night or day,
aud to run up as high as l29 degrees
in the afternoon. At Bahrin. in the
center of the hottest part of the torrid
belt, as though it was natures intention
to make the rgion rs unbearab..o as
possible, no water can be obtained
from digging wells 100. 200, or even
500 feet deep, yet a comparatively
numerous population contriye to live
there thanks to the copious springs
which, breaks forth from the bottom OF
the gulf more than mile from the
shore.
The water from these springs is OBJ
tanned by divers, who dive to the bot
tom fill goatskin bags with the cool
ing liquid and sell it for a living.
The source of these submarine fount-
aims is thought to be the green hill OF
Osman some 500 or 600 miles away.

HIS HOME WAS GONE.

Predicament of q BIilwaukeean Who
Leaves Everything to His Wife.
A Milwaukee attorney. noted for his
absent. mind edness, as we'll as for his
business shrewdness, is in the habit OF
leaving the management of his house
entirely to his wife, in whose ability he
has the utmost confidence, says the
Evening Wisconsin. He furnishes her
the wherewithal to run things, and
never inquiries or cares about what she
does so long as his comfort is provided
for. One evening, not long ago, he
was seen standing on a corner, looking
disconsolate and greatly troubled.
.'Hello, Blank" said an acquaint-
ance, whats the matter"
clash it. y he responded, i'm in a
deuced bad box, and / don't know
what to do. My wife moved to-day.
She told me this morning she was 60
ing to move and where she was going
to move to, but Til be bowed if I re-
member where it was. / think it was
somewhere in the Thirteenth Ward.
Where do you think my wife would be
apt to move to?'
The friend could not help him, and
how and where he found her and his
domicile history sayeth not.

Danger in the Pillow.

Most people suppose that feather
beds feather holsters and feather pill
lows contain feathers, and sometimes
they do. The kind that are manufac-
tured for sale, usually, do contain some
feathers and it is proper to believe
that some manufacturers make their
pillows and holsters what they profess
to be. But a woman who has worked
in such a factory has told medical
journal that the practice is very gen.
eral of stutting quantities of dirty rub
bish into so-called feather pillows.
holsters and beds. More positive evil
dence is found in the fact that such
articles have been cut open and found
to contain scraps Of dirty black serge
apparently parts of coat-sleeves,
pieces of dirty, greasy silk dresses,
old worsted braid, soiled linen rags,
and colored Calico" and other filthy
substances. OF course, such things
easily carry deadly diseases. The
safe way, according to Good House
keeping, is to buy your own feathers
and stuff your pillows yourself unless
you can depend on Your dealer.

STEVE FRANkLIN's RAMBLE.

He Was Sound Asleep, but 1t Made No
Difference to Him.
One of the most marvellous freaks of
.somnambulism ever known in Bruins
wick. Ca, is described in the Macon
Telegraph. The participant in the
semi-conscious night peram bulation
was negro named Steve Franklin,
and the course of his stroll was from
Brunswick to the new docks and re-
turn. Franklin is day laborer at the
docks, and assists in loading vessels
with cotton. He usually returns to
the city about 6 o'clock in the evening
and spends the night. In order to
reach his work in due time next morn
ing he leaves Brunswick at o'clock.
One night last week, about 10 o'clock,
he arose from his bed, dressed himself,
and struck out for the scene of labor.
On arriving he discovered that he had
forgotten his dinner, and at once re-
versed himself and returned to Bruins
wick. He was just entering the city
when he suddenly awoke. 1t was sew
eral minutes before he could take in
the situation. and then he was so
badly frightened as almost to go into
commissions.

a Wh1pp0orwill's Mind Said to be AT

The New York Suns correspondent
tells the story as it came to him from
the lips Of a reputable citizen of Aus
tin, Texas: lin the suburbs of the
city there stands in what is known as
Horses Pasture solitary oak, under
which, at l. o'clock upon a dark and
quiet night, man was foully murder
ed. He was in the possession OF mon
ey, which he had foolishly displayed
in q saloon, and when he started for
home he was followed by two mon, who
offered to drive him to his destlna-
tion. Too drunk to be cautious, he &C
cepted and was taken into their
wagon. They drove aimlessly about
until he fell asleep, and then proceeded
to this giant oak, under whose
branches the deed of death was done.
There happened to be in the
branches at the time whippoorwill
that saw the foul deed, watching each
motion with an interest SO intense that
it attracted the attention of the muir
derers. And since then upon every
night at the stroke of ! the bird comes
back to his resting place, and, in q

wvominr,s Pre- cious Gems.

A topaz which differs but little from
the African diamond has been dii,-
covered in Popoagie Canon, in Fremont
County, Wyoming. Something over a
year ago L. P. Webster found several
of the stones, and being struck by their
purity and hardness sent them for pol
fishing and cutting to Johann Drum
lnand OF Amsterdam. He lately re-
ceived twenty-five sparks varying in
size from one to fourth of a carat
Drummand wrote that the stone so
closely resembled the best diamonds
that only an expert could detect the
difference: and that, except diamonds,
they were the hardest ever cut in that
establishment. Every stone is q per-
feet gem, many showing the steel blue
CLINT. Webster had to pay diamond
duty on them at New York.

CfiEESE AS FOOD !

1 Its Exact status III Regard e Nu-
Much difference Of opinion has pre-
vailed in regard to thevalue of cheese
as food. but we are beginning to get at
real facts with. a better understanding
of the relations Of the digestive func-
tons to food elements according to
Good Housekeeping. Cheese has been
much lauded by many because of the
great amount of nntritive food elements
it contains. and people have been urged
Unfortunately to eat it freely, some
enthusiasts making the most extrava-
giant claims for. II as health diet. But
many people who have sought to fol-
low this counsel find themselves speedi-
ly the victims of indigestion and dys-
pepsia. They would consider it little
ordered digestion to the cheese, 1.-THE
truth is the cheese is the most proba-
BILE cause in any such case. Although,
SO far as its constituents are concerned,
cheese is fairly entitled to its fame as a
model food, yet in raw cheese these
constituents are very difficult OF solu-
ton by the digestive juices-that is,
raw cheese is indigestible to a degree
that makes it unavailable as food ex-
cept to the strongest and healthiest
stomachs, ard should not be eaten by
any one who finds on trial that it gives
his stomache the least discomfort. It
is found, however, that cooking the
cheese removes this difficulty and
makes cheese. easy of digestion. and as
nutritious as tender meat or more SO.
Various methods have been adopted
for this purpose, from plain broiling,
frying or toasting to the most elaborate
compound dishes. The main point is
to get the cheese cooked SO that the
stomach can digest it.

The tramp looked from one, to the
other with very serious face, and when
the laugh had died away, he said:
Gentlemen you are all of. If you
have FIVE minutes to spare please come
with me-"
We followed him through the depot
and out into the yards, and there on q
platform was something covered with q
tarpaulin He raised this, and we saw
the crushed and mangled remains OF .

and he got fall under the wheels

''Say, we didn't mean to hurt your

''Oh, of course not, Poor old Jim!
Poor, ragged, and ignorant, but tr.le

harm. Gents, I'm a tramp, but no beg

And mayhap the poor old tramp in
his pauper's coffin sleeps the better for

regularly until growing differences of creed
between himself and the Moravians eyentu-
ally led them to close their doors against
him.
That was in 1745. De Bonneville at once
set TO work. with the aid of Jean Bertolette,
of France, whose daughter he had recently
married, to rear a substantial mansion of
his own wherein he could preach at will.
The second or upper story, which was orig
inally reached through door directly over
the main entrance below by long flight of
steps leading up on the outside, he con-
structed as hall for holding meetings. with
a seating capacity of 30 people. The steps
are now removed, but otherwise the appear
ance of the building Is practically un-
changed.
A LIVING BAPTIsMAL FONT.
A spring of living water gushes from a
rock in the cellar and flows out at one corner.
In this spring of running water, to him a
mystic symbol of spiritual purity, De
Bonneville baptized his converts. Here he
was won't Sabbath after Sabbath, to gather
his friends and neighbors about him and
preach to them what is now the accepted
Uuiyersalist creed. With such quaint
memories clustering around it, and such
historical associations investing it, the old
De Bonneville mansion is bound in time to
become center of interest to every Uni
yersalist in the land. After De Bonneville
left 1t in 1855 to reside in Germantown, on
account of the increasing outrages of wild
bands of Indians in the vicinity, the mansion
fell into the possession of Peter Knabb, and

THE LEGISLATURE OF HAWAII.
The Parcels Post Convention With the
United States Ratified.

The Parcels Post Convention With the
United States Ratified.
SAN FRANCISCO, June THE Oceanic
line steamship Alameda arrived this morn
ing from Honolulu, where the Hawaiian
Legislative Assembly of 1890 was opened
May 81 by the King, who, in his address,
stated that during the biennial period just
closed the country had enjoyed great deal
of prosperity and the financial affairs of the
kingdom were on a sound basis.
He recommended that the credit of the
kingdom be pledged for the placing of the
Hawaiian harbor in condition to furnish
accommodations for the great increase OF
commerce which would follow the probable
completion of the Inter-Oceanic Ship Canal,
and of the promised extension of lines of
steam comm unication; also toward arrange
ments for Pacific cable line.
The opening of the Legislature was at
tended by no disturbance. The National Re
form party secured control of the organiza-
ton of the House. The reports of the
Hawaiian Minister were presented shortly
after the opening of the Legislature. The
report OF the Minister of Foreign Affairs
states that in consequence of the Wilcox re-
bellion OF July 30, 1889, the Kings guard
was reduced from 62 to 81 men, while the
Second Battalion of Hawaiian Volunteers
was disbanded.
The most important treaty negotiated has
been parcels post convention with the
United States, which was ratified January
29, 1889. The report states that since March
1, 1888, when the Chinese restriction act
took effect, 814 permits to enter the country
had been issued to Chinese. Over 500 Of
these are yet outstanding. The excess of
departures of Chinese over arrivals in 1888
and 1889 was over 900.

Antics of Maine Bull Who Grew Tired of
the Routine of Life.
A big and vicious bull belonging to Far
mer Charles Ellsworth, of Wilton, Me-,
broke loose one night last week and stirred
ND such a rumpus about the place that the
women folks, who were alone in the house,
thought that two-ring circus had arrived
by the cvclone route. The bull had been
closely confined by means of ring in his
nose, He first demolished the heneoops,
setting about q hundred squeaking fowls
loose, and then wrecked the pigpen, send
ing several old sows and their itters squeal-
ing about the barnyard.
Next he brought down the clotheslines
and trampled a weeks wash in the mud,
capsized the lye cask, soft soap barrel and
rainwater tank. and then charged the tool
house. He succeed in partially wrecking
this, and then fercely attacked q big grind
stone which stood nearby. In some manner
the bull got the grindstone fixed upon his
horns, and this angered him so that he made
break for the farmhouse, bringing up with
q crash against the door.
One of the women in the house thought q
burglar was trying to get in and blazed
| away with a revolver, whereupon the door
was burst in with a crash, and the grind
stone, which had slipped from its sockets,
rolled into the room. The revolver fright
ened the bull, for he sneaked back to the
stable, where Farmer Ellsworth afterward
found him, looking very sheepish. with the
frame of the grindstone still about his horns.

AN AMERICAN MECCA.
Pilgrimage Next Thursday to the
Cradle of Universalism.
LIFE OF GEORGE DE BENNEVILLE.
His Journey Through Celestial Lands While
Lying in His Coffin.
A BOOK WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPArcH.l
READING, Pa, June THE founding
of Universalism in America will be cele-
brated with unique observances next Thurs
day near the village of Obey, eight miles
northeast of Reading, in an old mansion
built away back in the year 1745. The To-
calitv being inaccessible by rail, the cele-
bration will take the form of a pilgrimage
in carriages from this city by representative
Universalists from allquarters of the q nited
States to the former home and religious
headquarters of the Rev. DR.. George De
Bonneville, the founder and first apostle In
this country of the gospel of Universal Res
toration.
Readers of ecclesiastical history, partic-
ularly in New England, are disposed to
ascribe the honor Of planting that creed In
the New World to Rev. John Murray, q
Methodist class teacher who achieved great
prominence and success in missionary work
in New England during the Revolutionary
War. But Murray did not land on the New
Jersey shore until 1770, and did not settle in
Gloucester, Mass, (erroneously considered
the American cradle of Universalism) until
Europe as early as 1741 and preached here
the new doctrine unremittingly until 1755,
and subsequently in Germantown and Mile
stone, this State, until his death in 1893.
A PICTURESQUE OLD MANSION.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the 10th and
11th, the general State Convention of Uni
yersalists will be held In the Universalist
Church here. and on Thursday morning,
the 18th, at 10 o'clock. the delegates will
proceed to the former home of De Benne-
Vile. At least 500 carriages will be in line.
De Benneville's home is an old and pictur-
esoue stone mansion two stories high. situated
in delightful hollow and surrounded by
stately trees and luxuriant greenery.
Though built in 1745, it Is still in an e1-
cellent state of preservation. 1t was de-
signed to serve the double purpose of resi-
dence and 8 church. When De Bonneville
first settled in Obey, he was received most
cordially by the Moravians, who had
monastic house at Bethlehem and mission
school just two miles from Obey line. In
the mission school De Bonneville preached
