Health and long life to Mr.. Frick. A
man who can face death at the hands OF
an assassin with the calmness and grand
courage he showed has great qualities.
Even those who are fighting him at Home
stead must admire his pluck.

Gently went through the ordeal of hsv-
ing dress made upon her person. She
stood for three hours while the dressmaker
wrought fifty yards of rare old lace that
could not be cut into gown for soiree,
at the close of which every stitch had to
be carefully cut and picked out before she
could disrobe.
The prospectus of divinity school at
Boulder, Colorodo, is interesting. The
school is to be non-sectarian, not only in
the sense of being under the control of no
particular denomination, but also in the
actual representation and cooperation of
representatives of several different de-
nominations in Its direction and teaching.
OF the faculty 30 far as chosen, two are
Baptists, two are Episcopalians, and one is
from each of the following churches:
Congregationalist, Disciples, Presbyterian,
Unitarian and Universalist.
An investigator who lived during two
years in tomb at Gizeh has collected ev-
idence to prove that the tools used in work
ing stone 1000 years ago had jeweled cut
ting edges, like modern tools. He says
that the builders of the pyramids used
solid and tubular tools, straight and cir
cular saws, and many other tools supposed
to be modern. In some specimens of gran
ite drill had sunk one-tenth of an inch
at each revolution, indicating that the
pressure was at least two tons. Nothing
is known of the material of the tools. AS
the diamond was scarce then, 1t is proba-
BILE that corundum was used.
The British consul at Sartos, Brazil, has
submitted report concerning the British
immigrants to that country who met with
such utter failure and suffered such run
of pitiable misfortunes short time ago.
Many of the immigrants died of fever, and
all who managed to live became utterly
destitute and were returned to England by
tho charity of the English people. The
Brazilian agents in Europe, according to
the consurs report, had been instructed to
take agricultural laborers from the Latin
races only, but as they received COM
mission for each recruit they registered
everyone who offered. The bulk of the
British immigrants were mill hands and
from manufacturing towns. They would
have failed as agriculturists anywhere.
They were deceived and deceived them
selves about the country, the work and the
money; their habits were unsuited to the
topics, and they could not speak the Ian
guage. 1t was a case of general impru-
dence.
The returns for the year 1891 of the
District, Trade and Guild insurance soci-
eties against sickness in the city of Berlin
furnish further evidence of the severe de-
preston which has affected the working
classes. The surplus in the budget of
these societies, which in 1887 had reached
100000 marks, has gradually decreased
since then, until last year there was actu-
ally a small deficit, the receipts amounting
to 6, AS, ,553 marks and the expenditures to
6,479, AIT marks. The number of subscrib-
ers figuring on the books ON December 81
last was 3O4, $50, about 5000 more than at
the end of 1890, and represented altogether
one fifth of the population of the capital,
fact which speaks favorably for the opera
ton of the law which has made insurance
compulsory among the working classes
The reserve fund, which has doubled since
1887, now amounts to a, ,402, ,52S marks.
The unification of these societies, and
consequent reduction of administrative
expenses and local centralization for the
prevention and detection of imposture, are
held to be necessary to full realization of
the expected benefits of recent provident
legislation.
