Greek and Roman stoves.

Warm as Greece and Rome and Egypt
are, stoves were made there in the dim
and misty vistas of the past. 1t was not
just the pattern used in Chicago at pres
ent, but was metal basin in which
charcoal was burned. It sat in the mid
die of the room, and as the resulting
smoke was Of the slightest no opening in
the roof or elsewhere was necessary
The same implement, still called by its
old Greek name of brazier, is still en-
ployed in many portions of continental
Europe, where it is utilized for heating
as well as cooking.
But the progressive Romans improved
on that and made a hypocaust. It was
the germ of the present furnace. 1t was
made under the house in little cellar
prepared for it, and the heat was con-
Quoted to the rooms and baths through
crevices left in the floor and lower por-
Hons of the wall. Later fues were pro-
vided, conducting heat to any portion of
the house. In some of the old Roman
villas in England the remains of these
old time furnaces are still found.-Chi-
cago Herald.

A Remarkable Phenomenon.

On Thursday, March 10, 1719, there
appeared at London, about 8 o'clock at
night, a Sudden great light moving af-
ter the manner but more slowly than a
falling star. 1t started from point be-
low Orion's belt, then lying in the south
west, and went upward instead of down
ward like falling star. Its size, ac-
cording to the testimony of numerous
observers in Spain, France, Ireland, Hol-
land and some parts of Germany, as well
as those who saw it in London and all
over England, was about that of the full
moon. 1t was of whitish color, with an
eye in the center as blue as the most
azure portion of June sky after a thun-
der storm. Invent straight upward in
its course until out of sight, leaving a
track of fiery red sparks in its wake. y

MIXING LASnG OF . buEueps
The period Of putting on spectacles is
often long deferred by middle aged peo-
pie, who sshate to seem DID," or dislike
confessing to themselves that they have
reached one Of the significant turning
points Of life. People have, however,
different ways of accepting the newt
able. One charming woman, who has
passed this visual limit, declares that
her comfort is thereby daily increased.
81 was always SO lazyp she says.
Nevertheless, I had to do a thousand
things hated. Now when go out for
an afternoon can leave my glasses at
home, and so, when ! am asked to look
at photographs, try new crochet stitch.
or read dear Mary AIMS last letter, I
can refuse with clear conscience. And
it is such a rest of mind and saving of
tissue"
Another woman, and very pretty
one, owns to bit of tacit deception in
wearing her Cross.
''I try to put my glasses on with the
air Of having always worn them," she
confesses. 81 can't help hoping that
people will think me near sighted from
childhood"
But dear old gentleman, who can't
see without glasses, actually goes to the
length of declaring that he doesn't need
them at all. He proves the case by
standing at distance from print and
reading it without difficulty.
''There's nothing the matter with my
eyes," he then explains humorously.
''The only trouble is, my arms aren't
long enough.-Youth Companion.

A Plank for the New Party.

There is one plank the alliance men
could put in their platform that if per-
sistently carried out would do more to
abolish the mortgage indebtedness of
the agricultural classes and place them
in prosperous condition than all their
remedies for an extension of the cur
rency and for cheap loans from the
government, and that is getting out of
debt and keeping out. 1t is the most
singular thing in all this "reform" move
ment that the chief effort of the reform
ers concerns itself with schemes for in
creasing the mortgage Indebtedness of
the agricultural classes instead of di-
minishing it. A plank that would read
after this fashion, ought to draw under
the banner of the party that would
adopt it every farmer in the United
States. 1--WE believe it is crime for a
farmer to go in debt" We commend
this plank To the new party and if they
adopt it we promise to help them make
converts.

A DARK DEED DISCOVERED.
Dr. Baker and Mrs. Gilmer Charged With
Poisoning Mrs. Baker.
ABINGDON The SCENE OF THE CRIME.
infatuated Lovers Remove the Obstacle In
the Way Of Their Illegal Scheme by
Means Most FouI-Over the State.

BRIsroL. Tenn. May Especial THE
following special telegram was received here
from Abingdon. Va. late this afternoon;
1.-The sensation OF the day is the arrest of
DIR. John A. p. Baker and Mrs. Wyndham r..
Gilmer, on the charge Of numbering DIR.
Bakers wife and the attempted murder of w.
r. Gilmer, growing out of their criminal init
macy.
Mrs. Gilmer has confessed and both are to
be examined before Esquire Cunningham at
wallace's. The discovery Of their criminal cor
YospOndence in the late dwelling OF Dr. Baker
led 70 the whole disclosure. Mrs. Baker died
more than a year ago. and Mr.. Gilmer was
saved by the timely arrival of MS brother. Dr.
Oilmer. This Is the amount OF the confession
and the letter in brief
The above telegram expresses briefly the
condition Of affairs in and around Abingdon.
Much excitement prevails. not only at thus
place and Montgomery. but In Bristol, the
parties being well known all over this section
of the country.
Baker and Mrs. Gilmer have been intimate
more than ten years. and during that time
have been together many times.
When Mrs Baker died suddenly. more than
a year ago, IL was thought perhaps that
heart failure was the cause. but II seems that
she was foully murdered. The doctor had
her body embalmed TO destroy the effects
of the poison. it is now thought.
Her death did not give the infatuated couple
free and undisputed access 70 each other, 50
they decided TO put Mr.. Gilmer ont Of the
way, and the report says that DR.. Baker sent
Mrs. Gilmer the poison last Saturday ana gave
her instructions how 20 use 1t, as the tsieBIsH
from Abingdon states. Mr.. Gilmers brother
arrived in time TO save his life, though he was
in a critical condition. -,
People who know the parties will watch
further proceedings with much interest owing
TO the prominence Of those concerned. Mr.
and Mrs. Gilmer have five children.
