Vulite is u chemical compound, the
invention of Max Eberhardt, of Lucerne,
and is stated to be nine times more eff
fective than ordinary water in extin-
gushing fire, and among its other quail
tiles possesses the remarkable faculty Of
rendering individuals virtually fireproof.
The impunity with which the exhibitors
approached great masses of flame, and
appeared to be almost as if in their ma
tive element, was not the least remark
able feature of u display. With the
hands dipped in this solution burning
materials may be manipulated with per-
foct safety. The first experiment was
supposed to represent the upsetting of a
paraffine lamp, the oil flowing in a
stream over the tablecloth and immedi-
ately blazing up in furious flame. BY
simply passing the hands over the burn
ing cloth this fame was speedily extin-
guished, although the table itself had
caught fire, and the exhibitor appeared
to be in no little danger.
In the next place mass of pitch in a
small pit was ignited and allowed to get
thoroughly aiight, the smoke and flames
rising up in volumes. The application
of two buckets of vulitc had an almost
magical effect, the flames diving down

1t depends largely upon how a man
goes to race course. If he goes on top
of drag he must wear frock coat and
tall hat; or if he is to sit in the boxes
with, or pay his respects to, the fair
sex, a fornality of garb is essential.
But going with party of men for a
view of the running and small wager
on the races he would stand small
chance of getting the best odds in a
tight fitting long coat and hot silk
hat. But under no circumstances, as
an esteemed contemporary has it, go in
frock coat in light colors, a colored
shirt and tall hat. Never silk hat
and colored shirt, unless you would be
mistaken for a bookmaker. The diffu-
sion of such matter tends to retard the
onward trend of mems wear.-Clothier

Breaking Up d Witness.

Probably it is not too much to say
that many a cause apparently hopeless
from the first has taken an unexpected

prompt adoption of some smart ruse ON

A celebrated barrister with whom
cross examination was a fine art once
confdentially told an adverse witness in
the box that he knew he possessed the
key of the legal situation-that he held
most important secret.
"And, mind you," added he with
measured emphasis, 81 am going to get

And he did, for the witness was demon

i DIVINE SYMPATUIZER.


Oh! | bless God that amid all the in.
justice that may hive been inflicted upon
us in this world we have divine SYM
pathizer. The world cannot lie about
you nor abuse you as much as they did
Christ. and Jesus stands today in every
courtroom, in every house, in every
store, and says: Courage! By all my
hours of maltreatment and abuse, | will
protect those who are trampled upon"
And when Christ forgets that two o'clock
morning scene. and the stroke of the
rufiian on the mouth, and the bowling
of the unwashed crowd, then he will
forget you and me in the iniustices of
life that may be inflicted upon us.
Further, remark: The last great in
stallment paid for our redemption was
the demise of Christ. The world has
seen many dark days. Many summers
ago there was very dark day, when
the sun was eclipsed. The fowl at noon
day went to their perch, and we felt
gloom as we looked at the astronomical
wonder. 1t was dark day in London
when the plaque was at its height, and the
dead with uncovered faces were taken
in open carts and dumped in the

earth opened and Lisbon sank; but the
darkest day since the creation of the
world was when the carnage OF Calvary
was enacted.

COL. KING MUST HANG.
Judge jackson Denies a Writ and
Also an Appeal.


NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 2s.-The
application for writ of ha5eas corpus
by Col. Ii. Clay King was denied bv
Jud ge Howell 7. Jackson today. The
principal plea of the petition was that
the trial jury had lost its official charac-
ter by going to Arkansas during the
trial. Judge jackson ruled that the
jury would be as far out of the iurisdic-
ton of the Shelby county court while
on the custom house grounds at Memphis
as they were while in Arkansas.
He denied the writ and denied the
right of appeal from his decision on the
ground that appeal only lies in habeas
corpus proceedings from the decision
of the circuit court, as the case could
not come up in the circuit court outside
the West Tennessee district. but only
be heard outside the district by him at
chambers, and that no appeal could be
issued. He cited the statute of 1885 and
