The incubator used for the infant
was procured from Paris. 1t is a
large walnut box, capable of hold
the baby. At the bottom are bot
ties filled with hot water ut tenn
peraturc of ninety.eight degrees.
Beneath these is ventilator and
over the baby's head is another
ventilator. The air becomes heat

the incubator steadily for one
month. 1t was wrapped in cotton,
bathed every day in cod liver oil

bet four bits that this method of
propagating the species will not
become universal for a long time to
come.

A DANGEROUS PRESENT.

1t became known last Saturday
that an attempt had been made to
assassinate Nine. Carnot, wife of
the president Of the French repub-
lie. She received package from
Toulon which contained what
appeared to be a Roman Catholic
mass book. Upon examination of
this present." the leaves appar-
emily were stuck together with
varnish or mucilage. This caused
still more careful examination to
be made, and it was found the in.
terror Of the book had been cut
away after a manner sometimes
adopted by smugglers, and the
book filled with powerful illuminate
powder. There is no clue. Accord
ing to the police it has not been
found who sent the internal ma
chine, although the postonice and
police authorities at Toulon are
said to be on the track of the per.
petrators Of the outrage. No reason
is known for the attempt upon the
life of Nine. Carnot, and the con.
clusion arrived at is that the would
be assassin really intended to take
the life of the president, and sup
posed package to Nine. Carnot
would be carelessly opened by the
president, while a package addressed
to him himself would be opened by
Nh attendant, but of course this is
only theory. The report of the at.
tempted assassination is the talk

4 CAMPAIGNING COLLECTION.

a. NJ. U. P. church, of North Pas
sale, was begun in Heggeman's
woods, at the head of Lafayette
avenue, last Monday night. Rev.
Mr.. King presided and the atten-
dance was large.
Rev. Mr.. King, after his sermon,
called for collection. Several
baskets were handed around. When
the deacons turned the collection
over to Mr.. King, he counted the
money and found only 80 cents.
Take up another collection"
said the minister, He supple
nented the remark with the state.
ment that the Lord loveth a good
giver. This time GO cents was the
result.
Mr.. King then looked full at the
audience and said:
This assemblage doesn't bear
outward indications of want. Isee
lots of good men who l know would
give to the Lord if they had an
opportunity. Pass the baskets
once more, please and don't miss
anyone"
This effort was followed by gen.
eral hustling. When the baskets
returned they contained eleven
pennies. Thank you, friends"
said Mr.. King, 81 knew you would,
altogether give a dollar"
The meeting broke up with Il
senediction.

THE HOUSEHOLDER AND THE RAT.
A householder who had been
greatly annoyed by rats in his
cellar brought home trap and set
it where he thought it would do
the most good. Next day he was
made glad by finding that he had
caught very large rat. He was
about to put the captive to death
when the rat protested.
This is by no means fair and
just. I entered this trap to prove
my confidence in your integrity.
No one could be more surprised
than l was when l found myself
prisoner"
After due reflection the house.
holder liberated the rat, but only
to find, two or three days later,
that the number had greatly in
creased, and that his stores were
fast being carried away by whole
sale. Catching sight of his former
prisoner he said:
"You depended on my integrity
and | restored you, liberty"
Exactly"
II depended on your integrity,
and you have wrought still further
damage to my property"
"Oh, but you must understand,
my dear sir, that a rat in a trap is
a heap different than a rat at
liberty"

WAS IT 4 HUMAN SACRIFICE.

ADR1ANoPoLE, July 24.-Great
excitement prevails in this vicinity
over the tragic events growing out
OF an accusation that Jewish butch
ers killed Greek child as a relig-
lous sacrifice. The governor of
Roumelia has proclaimed the dis
trict under military law, fearing
that otherwise the inhabitants
would rise against the Jews.
The alleged murder occ urred at
the village of Mustapha Pasha,
about twenty miles from this city.
The corpse of a Greek girl 8 years
OF age was found in the river and
and the doctors declared that she
had not been drowned, but had
been strangled and thrown into the
water. All the butchers in the
place were Spanish Hebrews except
one Greek named Slefanos who
swore that the girl had been stran.
gled in the manner of Jewish blood
offerings and that the murder was
undoubtedly a religious one. In
the midst of the excitement Stefanos
disappeared and later his corpse
was found in a sack on the bank
OF the river. The body was GOV.
cred with stabs.
Suspicion fell upon the men whom
Stefanos had accused and five of
the Spanish butchers and two of
their apprentices were arrested.
One Of the apprentices, a lad named
Gianui, confessed that the FIVE pris.
had murdered stefanos and paid
him (Gianui) to carry the body in
a sack to the river.
