over q Hundre,, Stone Knives.

While plowing field on Jesse Doan's
farm, in Buckingham township, near
Furlong, one day recently, Frank Doan
struck curiously shaped flint stone Of
kind not found in that vicinity. It
was about inches long by ~ inches

be characteristic Of the Maltese dealers,
Mr.. Hardy tells q story Of naval
friend who stopped one Christmas time
in the great market in Valetta before
the stall Of "a Joe" with whom he had
had many dealings. The color of one
of his turkeys, all trussed aud ready for
the spit, attracted him. The breast of
the victim was Of q blush purple, the
legs were scraggy and also discolored,
but otherwise the bird seemed to have
been well fed.

Rineine a Bell in CHURCH.

DR.. Thirwall, bishop of St. David's, gives
in one of his Letters" an amusing account
of a Kerry custom for awakening sleepers
in church.
1t is by ancient custom part of the SEX
toms duty to perambulate the church dur
ing service time with bell in his hand, to
look carefully into every pew, and wher-
ever he finds any one dozing to ring the
bell
He discharges this duty, 1t is said, with
great vigilance, intrepidity and impair
tiality, ard consequently with the happiest
effect ON the congregation, for as every
body is certain that If he or she gives way
to drowsiness the fact will be forthwith
made known through the church by peal
which will direct all eyes to the sleeper,
the fear of such visitation is almost
always sDat.tant ts Ae~2 every one ON the
ALERT.

A City Paved with Marble.

A city paved with marblel 1t sounds
strangely enough, yet in the heart Of pow
erty stricken Ireland there is just such q
city. Kilkenny, one of the Irish parlia-
mentary boroughs, is not only paved with
the costly stone, but many Of its houses
are built with the same material. Halt q
mile outside the town are the famous
black marble quarries, which turn out the
choicest marble in the British isles. From
time immemorial the civic authorities
have been accustomed to buy this stone,
undressed, to pave and build with. The
old Norman walls of Kilkenny were of
marble throughout, as is the cathedral Of
St. Carnice today. Kilkenny has two
other peculiarities. Its water Is wonder
fully clear and pure, while the coal used
in the city, coming as it does from the
Sliere Marge anthracite region, emits no

THE %ssfurva PARACHUTE.
A suecessfal Experiments with = Ns'
Kind Of balloon Device.

A successfal Experiments with = New
Kind Of balloon Device.
A very interesting and successful expert
ment has been made here by II. Capazza,
the well known aeronaut, with q safety
parachute which he has invented. The
apparatus Is placed above the balloon, and
to it are attached a number Of very long
ropes. II the balloon bursts, the gas swells
out the parachute and so helps to diminish
she rapidity Of the descent. At the top Of
Il is small funnel, through which the gas
passes slowly, and by this arrangement
the parachute Is kept steady.
This Is the principle OF N. Capazza's In,
vention. The parachute used in the ex-
pertinent Is of rather voluminous dimeI-
sions, and the car is fixed at the longest
possible distance from the balloon in order
that IL may not be entangled In the debris.
In rather sQualiy weather NJ Capazza
made his ascent from the gasworks at La
Villette, his wife being among the specta-
tors. The lady, however, did not seem ut
all nervous. 81 married Capazza," she
said, "because was sure Of his courage.
am not bit afraid"
The couple were only. welded a few
weeks ago. It was amid loud cheers from
the assembled spectators that the order
"Lachez toutr' was given, and then the
balloon, drifting in a northeasterly direc.
ton, rose in about FIVE minutes to the alti'
tude of 1000 meters, which the aeronaut
desired to attain. NJ. Capazza then burst
the balloon by means Of knife placed ai
the top, and TO which cord had been at
tached.
Most of the spectators were Mortified al
the sight Of the aerostat, now reduced to 9
shapeless mass, as it fell slowly on the car
but not interfering in any way with thu
development of the parachute, which, fill
ing out until it looked like n large saucer

motion, but came steadily down at the rat'
of six feet per second. M. Capazza fnall.
alighted in a corn field at Drancy, in thu
neighborhood of Pantin, the descent hav
ing occupied little more than ten min

The experiment is regarded as satisfac
tory in every way, and there is only on
opinion rs to the success of the invention
and the pluck displayed by the enterpris
ing aeronaut Connoisseurs were mucl
| impressed with the manner in which th
safety parachute" behaved from the me
ment when the balloon was burst, and ais
with the practical character of the precau
tions taken to prevent the aerostat fror
encumbering its movements.
The steady balance for which NJ. Capa2
za had provided was maintained from th
first, and the ladies, many of whom wer
SO panic stricken at the moment when til
balloon was ripped up that they nearl

for his wife, her confidence never forsoo
her, for her faith in NJ. Capazza's skill an

It is believed that an immense advanc

all chance of accidents occurring is mo-
