GEN. sPINNER's OLD CAMP.
High Island Suggested a Site for
Memorial Statue.

High Island Suggested a Site for n
Memorial Statue.
The ladies of the Spinner Memorial Associ-
alton having decided upon bronze statue as
the form of memorial that shall be erected in
honor of that glorious old patriot and friend
of women, it is suggested that while they are
casting about for suitable site upon which
to erect the memorial statue they ought not
to overlook a spot that was greatly beloved
by Gen. Spinner, namely, "High Island" in
the Potomac River, just west of this city, on
which "Spinner's Camp" was established.
There are scores of people in the Treasury
Department and hereabouts who well remem-
her how greatly the old General and his friends
enjoyed the annual summer ''camps" at High
Island Its close proximity to Glen Echo
Chautauquas and the certainty that High Is
land is destined TO be less obscure than here
tofore seems to warrant consideration of that
place as an appropriate place for memorial
to Gen. Spinner

was so greatly prostrated by his Illness that

Stone forests are found in various
parts of the world. In many cases they
are hardened by some popularity of the
atmosphere, and are found standing
just as they were when clothed with
green foliage thousands of years ago.
The Little Colorado river, in Arizona, has
long been famous as locality for such
finds; at one place more than 1900
cords of solid stone tree trunks, sec
tions, limbs aud logs were found by the
government surveyors. Most of them
were silicified; many 7 to 10 feet in di-
ameter and from 20 to 50 feet in height.
Biologists say that the petrified trees
of the Little Colorado were once Gov
cred with mari over 1, 900 feet in depth.
Some of the trees have been changed
to jasper, and have assumed various
hues; Others resemble apal, and, when
broken open, the core is often found
lined with crystals of the most beauti-
full tints. St Louis Republic.

An Acid Bottle Needed.

A surgeon has called attention to the
acid bottle is needed The ordinary
bottle allows drops to run down the
outside and eat of the labels and burn
the shelves and perhaps the hands of
the user a form of bottle is some
times used for essences and oils which
might be adopted with advantage. In
the place of the ordinary aperature
there is tube with lip On the side
opposite the lip there is a groove lead
ing back into the bottle. The liquid is
then poured out by means of this tube,
but any drops than run down the out
side run back into the bottle. The
whole is then covered by ground cap.
This principle is employed in the ordi-
nary collodion bottle and in some claret
jugs.
A stopper has been brought out in
England which meets some of the oh
jections to the ordinary form. it is
really glass lid with a pin of glass
passing into the neck of the bottle to
keep it from falling off. The external
appearance of the new stoppered bot
tie is thus nearly the same as usual,
but the stopper Is replaced by a much
smaller body with straight sides. This
form is said to be quite air tight and
at the same time to avoid Sticking

They Took n Walk.

An amusing anecdote is told of Louis
XVIII OF France.
This inoffensive monarch took break
fast one morning. Then his ministers
called upon him.
"Well, said the king, how are the
public affairsT
Getting along very nicely, sire, >
said the ministers.
"Huinl In that case" said the king,
II think will go and take walk. "
Next morning after breakfast the
ministers called again. well, how do
the public affairs get on todayT asked
the king.
VERY badly, indeed, sire, said the
ministers.
"Huml" exclaimed the king; 'in
that case ! think | will-go and take a
walk |"
Next day no ministers called on the
king
What has become of my lninistryT
said the king, after breakfast
Sire" said the palace functionary
who was in attendance, parliament
has turned out the ministry"
"Ah" said the king; then it's they
who have taken n walk this time, eh9"

sIeenInr On a Cohrn.

An old gentleman living in India said
to his wife one morning
my dear, have had very strange
dream. | dreamed | was sleeping on a
cobra"
What nonsensep was her retort.
How could that be2"
well, my dear" he responded meek.
ly, II did dream it, and only hope it
wasn't true,
The next night he had the same
dream, and In the morning announced
the fact, only TO encounter his wife's
rldicule on the score of his weak nerves.
Nevertheless he had the same dream
once more.
Thereupon the mattress was ripped
open, and there, snugly colled in its
middle, was a cobra. He had entered
one day through rip in the cover
while the mattress was lying in the gar
den 10 air. Probably his luxurious
writings beneath the sleeper had given
rise to the dream, Youths Companion.

To Rnfns burrMrs.

French ingenuity has contIfved a
remedy for the inefflciency of ordinary
combination locks for houses and
apartments, these contrivances being
usually of so little avail against pro
fessionals who, wasting no time In eff
forts to raise the tumblers and move
the bolt, simply insert the end Of a
short iron lever or Jimmy" between
the door and its rabbet, forcing the
whole affair inward, tearing out both
locks and bolts on the way
According to the new device for
meeting this difficulty, a combination is
resorted to of the iron shore with the
ordinary lock In such manner that
locking the door sets shore in place
which will resist an enormous strain,
but on the return of the proprietor the
unlocking of the door in the usual way
shifts the upper end of the shore from
the door to the frame where it presents
no obstacle to the opening of the door
The mechanism of the lock itself need
not be very elaborate, although the
picking of the lock would move both
the bolt and the shore, for if there are
tumblers enough to prevent picking
with bit OF wire, and If the jimmy is
insufficient for the purpose, the point
of security is attained. New York Sun.

This story is told of one of the lead
Ing dry goods men of New York: He
was carrying heavy stock of fine mil.
linery goods when the round topped
derby hat for women became suddenly
fashionable. The market was flooded
with them, and they were regarded as
the only thing to be worn on the head
This merchant foresaw great loss on
his stock of millinery. and decided to
prevent it. He first bought up all the
derby hats he could and then adver
tised them extensively, offering them
for sale at ridiculously low prices.
The result was that the derby fell
into disfavor among fashionable women
at once. and he saved his market for
his more expensive goods 1t is by
strokes such as this and the careful
watching OF the market and feeling of
the popular pulse that fortunes are
made by the few extremely successful
merchants. Brooklyn Life.

Cures for witohery.

Rev. Joseph Doderidge, In his "Notes
of the Settlement and Indian Wars In
Pennsylvania and Virginia." in that
portion of the work treating of witch
craft Says
The diseases Of children supposed
to be inflicted by witchcraft were those
OF dropsy of the brain and the ricketts,.
These were diseases which could neither
be accounted for nor cured, conse-
quently they were ascribed 10 some su-
pernatural agency, For the cure of
diseases inflicted by witches the picture
of the supposed witch was drawn on a
stump or piece Of board and shot at
with bullet containing little bit of
silver. This silver bullet transferred a
painful and sometimes mortal spell on
that part of the witch corresponding
with the part of the picture struck by
the bullet
