The Green clotn in Church.

The church naturally took more or
less of the local color in early times,
says the Butte City Miner, and the
anomaly of professional gambler as II
leading church nembcr might easily
occur. A story goes that there were
several of these men who were pretty
regular attendants at church in Last
Chance gulch. As Emitted States
money was scarce and gold dust was
the ordinary medium of exchange, it
sometimes happened that the knights
of the green baiae had no money with
them when the plate went around. On
such occasions they would toss a faro
or poker chip into the dish, and the
deacon would go the next day and have
the dust weighed out in payment. 1t
was not uncommon for amounts to
range from ten dollars to twenty
dollars. 1t is said the knights are not
SO reckless in these days, and that they
are rarely seen at church. Their tribe
is not extinct but business with them is
far from brisk.

DEATH IN GLOVES.

The Dyes Used Are Sometimes Poison, as
One Sad Case Proves.
Danger lies hidden in everything,
even the dainty little glove of feminine
adornment, which seems so very harm
less, says the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
OF course gloves, if they cover the pret-
ty hand of some especially pretty wom-
an, have always been more or less dan
gcrous to the heart peace of gallant
cavaliers, but now q great danger to
life itself has been found in pair of
black gloves. Not long since the wife
of lieutenant in the army purchased a
pair of long black gloves, which she
wore to ball that evening. When she
arrived home she found her hands
stained with black dye, and one finger,
on which there had been the prick of a
needle, was slightly swollen.
The next day Tho arm was decidedly
swollen and n physician was sum.

no particular danger in it-especially as
the lady was in good spirits. That
morning the husband said good-by tc
her cheerfully, but the noon found q
telegram summoning him home at
once, and he arrived only in time to
have his wife die in his arms. The
poison from the glove had reached the
shoulder and caused her death.

The Amerlcan Spirit,

The Americans do indeed honor their
heroes, says the st. James Gazette, as
the following story will show: For
years a helpless p.ralyzed cripple has
sat by the wayside in Remington, and
there, supported in a wheel chair, he
has gained precarious living by the
sale of bootlaces. Some four years
back local sympathizer. interested
himself in the. old man, and learned
that he had served in the federal army
through the American war, and that
his paralysis was the fruit of hardships
he endured as soldier. Forthwith the
sympathetic friend petitioned the
United States, minister and claimed
some consideration for the crippled
veteran. Failing to obtain immediate
assistance, the case was stated and re-
stated with dogged persistency, and the
official red7tape began gradually but
surely to unwind. A threat was at last
made that the paralytic should be
wheeled to the door of the American
embassy, when 10! the United States
authorities succumbed, and the old man
has now '''retired from business with
four hundred pounds sterling "cash
down" as deferred pension and thirty
dollars month for the rest of his life.
ue does not sell bootlaces now. Essexss.

The italian at Sea.

An Italian is queer fish, says an old
seaman. He won't take a berth on a
ship that does not feed his bill of fare.
When they go into ticket office their
interpreter asks for the bill of fare
which is published by some of the lines
along with their advertisements, He
scans it closely, and the first one which
sets out regular Italian meal, garlic
macaroni, Italian wines and the like
is the one he closes on as though it rep
resented so many dollars. You cam
switch them to any other line after they
have sized up the feed. Money is goot
for them, but macaroni and garlic are
more desirable and the line that feeds
them those edibles is the one that gets
their money.

AIR AS FUEL.
A Wonderful Ace,'a lishment in the

Eicli o: eieacc.
The marvel;of scientific discovery and
mechanical invention crowd upon latter
day nincteonth century folk in a man
ner rivali:lg the play of Kaleidoscope
figures. One accepts, nowadays, what
he secs, as his fathers did of old but
unlike them, he is not prepared to dis
pute the possibility of anything within
the range of conception. One of the
most wonderful reasons of application
of human reason in employing an es-
sential element of the universe for
human purposes is that described in a
recent issue of Bradstreet's by Mr..
Lorin Blodgett, Il well-known member
of the Franklin institute of Philadel-
phia.
This is nothing else than the use of
atmospheric air rs fuel. Air is mixed
with coal gas, as everyone knows, and
with hydro-carbon vapprs, and the COM
pound when burned GENERATES a much
greater heat than if the air was absent.
So, too, a powerful air blast is great
economizer in smelling and reducing
ores. But the new fuel is the air itself,
which in a powerful blast is directed
upon an incandescent substance, say
coal made white hot, pure carbon or
any other materials that can be made
to glow. Coal hydrocarbons or what
not may be employed to give the initial
incandescence, but once the blast
strikes the luminous body, the utmost
intensity of heat is secured, apparently
by the combustion of the air, and may
be maintained for an indefinite period
by merely preserving the incandescence
of the surface, and this may be done by
slight manipulation of the surface
brought to incandescencc, and with
some slight renewal of carbonaceous
| material

Reversing in Dnncin-

If one were dancing for show or dane
ing for pleasure in solitude, says the
Saturday Review, reversing would be q
variation of the proceedings with good
deal to be said for it. AS things are,
however, reversing in respectable ball
rooms causes collisions or perils of col
lisions nine times out of ten, and SO few
couples can reverse with complete sue
cess that in the tenth instance those
who reverse invariably produce the i'm
preston that they are showing off at the
expense of their less artful neighbors
(Which impression is usually correc0.
There cannot be complete success in re-
versing without a continual recollection
of the fact that reversing couple is
like ship on the starboard tack, and
is bound to get SO far out of the way
of every couple not reversing as to allow
them to hold their course unimpeded.
Therefore, under existing circum-
stances, and at all places where more
tfrdH tfrreu OF TOuF couples are EntheTeG
together, reversing is sin and should
not be practiced in public.

Charms of Mature.
The big head is no longer monopo-

out, says the New York World if one
may say so, in polite society, and the
least of us may be afflicted by cranial
enlargement. 1t did not seem possible
that the big head could be contagious,
but in these daysr% of imitation it has
been proved otherwise, and more than
one of your acquaintance will be found
suffering from it. The society woman
who has achieved some local success is
the first to find her acquaintances OBJ

WASHINGTON CITY, April 0-The retire.
ment of Edmunds from the senate will
make great gap m the Republican ranks
there. He has played an important part
In the committee work of that body for
many years. As chairman of the COM
mittee on Judiciary, and a prominent
member of the committee on foreign rela-
tions, he had much to do with fashioning
the most important legislation enacted by
congress during the past quarter of a
century. Working in the privacy of ia
committee room Edmunds has figured but
little in the stormy bouts in the senate,
but he has always been distinguished
figure there, and just how useful and ca
pable he was will be made apparent to the
party when the time comes TO fill his va
cant place.
His Favorite Amusement.
Edmunds seldom delivered set speech,
and on observations occupying little
time, and which were apparently i'm
promptu. One of his favorite perform
ances was to drop in from his committee
room while some fluent senator was work
ing of stump speech for home consump-
ton, and, affecting TO take great inter-
b't in the subject, put questions to him
with no other object in view than to de-
velop the speakers lack of information
about the theme he was so learnedly treat
ing. He was absolutely impartial about
this pastime.
Not the Place for Buncombe.
When demonstrated with on one occa-
sion about this practice as being unkind,
Edmunds replied, in substance, that no
man tig enough intellectually to secure
seat in the senate should put such a forum
to the uses of the stump; the senate was
the place for the discussion of public bust
ness in business-like way, and anything
like fustian or parade there was undigni-
fed and unseemly. Not even the speeches
OF ingalls,, which always packed the gal
leries and insured an unusually large at
tendance OF senators. could seduce Ed
munds from his labors at the committee
table
