Drunken Charcoal Burners Roast q Dis
solute Woman in a Kiln.
SAULTE STE. MARIE, Mich. Feb. 25.-A
terrible story of crime comes from En-
erson, a small town 35 miles northwest
of here. Charcoal manufacturing is one
of the industries of the town, and the
story is that charcoal burners caused
the death of dissolute woman by
throwing her into a kiln from which a
portion of the coal had been taken,
while the remainder was still smolder-
ing. The men had been celebrating
Washington's birthday by getting
drunk, and. repaired to a notorious
resort kept by a woman known as
Lucy Webb. They induced the
woman to leave the house, when they
were Joined by large number of their
fellow. worlmen. The woman was
pulled and hauled until her clothing
was nearly all torn from her body.
The men led her away in the direction
of the kilns, and then deliberately
threw her into one that was still hot
and smoking. After securely fasten-
ing her in the men retired and con-
tinued their revels. The woman was
taken out after she had been penned
in the terrible prison five hours. She
died few minutes after her removal.

Cold Weather in Kurdestan.

Every resource against cold was
brought out and put on One eye was
all that was visible of the servants
faces. The charvadars relied on their
felt coats and raw sheepskins, with the
fur inside, roped round their legs.
There is danger of frostbite even with
all precautions. In addition to double
wooden underclothing. put on a pair
of thick Chitral socks over two pairs of
woolen stockings. and over these pair
of long, loose Afghan boots, made of
sheepskin with the fur inside. Over
my riding dress, which is of flannel
lined with heavy homespun, I had a
long homespun jacket, an Afghan
sheepskin coat, heavy fur cloak over
my knees and stout regulation"
waterproof to keep out the wind. Add
to this cork helmet, a fisherman's
hood, ''six-ply" mask, two pairs of
wooden gloves with mittens and double
gauntlets, and the difficulty of mount
ing and dismounting for d person thus
swaddled may be imagined! The PERI
slams are all in cotton clothes.-Jour-
neys in Persia and Kurdestan.

Flower

II am ready to testify under oath
that if it had not been for August
Flower I should have died before
this. Eight years ago I was taken
sick, and suffered as no one but
a dyspeptic can. I employed three
of our best doctors and received
no benefit. They told me that had
heart, kidney, and liver trouble.
Everything I ate distressed me so
that 1 had to throw it up. August
Flower cured me. There is no med
icine equal to it." LORENZO F.

1t Will be Big Thing and Cannot be

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. II. w. Pal
mer, president of the Worlds Column
bian exposition, in letter to the presi-
dent under date of February 16. calls
attention to the report submitted No
vember 25, 1891, citing the action of
the national commission upon the
proposition of the Illinois corporation
to apply to congress for loan of S.
900, 900. Since the submission of this
report, the board of reference and con-
troll of the national commission had
been authoritatively advised by
the Illinois corporation that it
had requested it's members to
apply to congress for a loan of
81, 600, 900 and had determined to apply
for an appropriation for a like sum.
An aggregate exenditure of SIS, 600. 900
would have been made up to the time
of the opening of the gates of the ex-
position. 1t would be evident that
the Illinois corporation had made ample
provision for the sum of $40, 0o0,O in
fulfillment of the obligation imposed
upon it by the act of congress. It
would, however, even if an appropria-
ton of 5000, 0OO be made by congress,
be required to provide an additional
sum of s.. 900, 600.

1t is exceedingly interesting to trace
the evolution of the purse or portemonf
naie, and to find that it was called in
early times ''aulmoniere, or almoneri
and. like the title of lady, said to have
been derived from the Anglo-Saxon
word meaning ''giver of bread the
purse signifed a receptacle for the
means of alms-giving and not wallet
for the prese1 vation or transportation
of money. Another name for this use
full article was ''gipciere," dating from
the thirteenth and fourteenth centu-
ries. These were often made of velvet,
embroidered in gold and decorated
with gold tassels, and having steel or
silver clasps richly chased and some
times engraved with religious notices,
such as AVE Maria gratie plena Dom
mus te cum or "Deo honor ct gloria"
etc. The efigy of Queen Berengaria,
wife of Richard Ceur de Lion, which
lies in the abbey of L'Espan, is repre-
sented as wearing over her flowing
gown decorated girdle to which is at
tached small ''aulmoniere, or purse.

Luminous Bacteria.

Various phenomena Of illumination

marshes, and the sea, have been
noticed from time imnemorial. and
not very long ago they we're attri ibuted
to supernatural powers-spirits, for in
stance-by the superstitious. II is
now established that they are the re-
suit of some form of microbic vegeta-
tion. The phosphorescence of a rotting
stump in marsh, or of a fish in the sea-
is due to such low life. Mr.. Giard, a
French naturalist. has recently OBJ
served a bright phosphorescence in q
crustacean, the talitrus, specimen of
which he found when slowly walking
on the beach He found that the
luminous condition emanated from the
diseased muscles which contained
phosphorescent bacteria. By inocula-
ton he reproduced the microbes and

Big Sale of Canadian Timber.

New Westminster Columbian, March 9.
A big deal in British Columbia timber and
sawmill properties was consummated last week
when l.. H. Northey, acting for himself and
State Senator Henry Drum, W. B. Allen, p A.
Paulson and b. Carmody, of Tacoma, entered
into an agreement with W. 2. Sayward, of Vic
toria, to purchase his big mill, in operation at
Rock Bay, his timber limits comprising some
l5,ooo acres on Vancouver island, his steamers,
and all the other paraphernalia of the immense
business. which Is one of the oldest estab-
lished and most important in British
Columbia The contract figure is not yet
made public, but it is understood to
be in the neighborhood of s350,0Jo. The COM
pany purchasing are allowed until the first day
OF May to inspect the timber, which has not yet
been thoroughly examined, and then Mr. Say.
ward is to have sixty days in which to wind up
affairs. The acquisition of the Ssyward prop.
erty will give Mr. Northey and his associates
$1,000 acres OF timber land in this province, and
their intention is, soon as they take posses.
sion. to proceed with the erection Of a thor
oughly and modernly equipped mill in Victoria,
capable OF cutting not less than $4,000 feet per

Under New York law a man can not contract
to pay his wife wages for any service she may
perform either for him or under his direction
The New York court OF appeals has decided
that although married woman can make q
contract to work for stranger and can enforce
that contract and have her earnings for her own,
she can make no such contract with her hus-
band. The husband can not compel the wife to
do any unusual or extraordinary work for him,
but If she does such work she can not compel
him to pay her for 1t, no matter what the con-
tract may be between them. "Suoh service a.
she renders him." the cour. says, whether
within or without the strict limo OF her duty,
belong to him, and if he pays her for them it is
gift" The right to contract with husband or
wife does not exist in New York state, because,
as the court says, "an unlimited right on the
part of the wife to contract with her husband
would afford an easy cover for fraud, and would
be a perpetual menace to creditors"

use of amusement. Voluntary severity 70 the
flesh always aroused st. PsuPs anger and scorn,
Yet the Christian church has never been quite
free from this voluntary severity. The Roman
lists have made it a council OF perfection to
live unnsturally, and the Puritans have fast
ened yoke unbearable on every single believer.
And both have utterly failed in their purpose.
The earth on which we dwell is adapted to
mirth. Whatever, therefore, may be the duty
OF tho church toward amusements, it is obvi-
ously not her duty to be hostile toward them.
