FAMILY DIFFERENCES.
Strong Light Upon These Thrown by Mrs.
Churchilps Testimony.

strong Light Upon These Thrown by Mrs.
Churchilps Testimony.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 3o.-The tss-
timony brought out in the L zzie Borden
hearing yesterday has caused a change Of
opinion among many OF her friends who
have heretofore stoutly maintained her
innocence. They consider the strongest
evidence given against her to be that Of
Mrs. Addie Churchill, the neighbor whom
she has known and loved since childhood
Mrs. Churchill is q sister of City Auditor
Bufiinston and daughter OF the late May
or Burlington, and owing to her standing
in social circles, her testimony has caused
profound sensation. She stated posi-
lively that Mrs. Borden's room door was
opened when she and Bridget Sullivan
first discovered the body OF the murdered
woman. 1t has already been stated that
Lizzie Borden was in the hallway near
this open door when Bridget Sullivan was
opening the front door at 10. .35 o'clock.
Again, Mrs. Churchill stated positively
that Miss Lizzie told her Mrs. Borden
had received a note to call on a sick
friend, but 1t has not yet been proven
that any person in this city or elsewhere
eft the house ut any time during the
lay. Like all the rest OF the witnesses
'or the government, she failed to find
any traces OF blood on Miss Lizzie's
clothing or her person. Miss l. zzlo was
in distress and greatly agitated when her
lifelong friend ran to her assistance,
but she was not opstrusiveiy sorrowfu
nor did she show painful emItion. When
Mrs. Churchill asked her where her
mother was she did not say she was ou,.
Her answer was: "Go see II you can fin
her. don't know but she is killed to-
Bridget Sullivan was intuitively fearfu

right TO go up stairs unless Mrs. Church.
III accompanied her.
During this testimony the prisoner b.
her lips, flushed aud bent toward At
torney Adams.
Following Mrs. Churchill's testimony
came that OF Miss Russell, the friend 10
whom Miss zzie sent ut once. Uncon
sciously perhaps, Miss Russell gave al
other insight into the unhappy Gomest
lie OF the Borden family. Mrs. Borden,
the stepmo'hcr, was seldom seen In the
guests chamber, although witness was
frequent visitor. Coupled with Miss
Ldzz'e's own words that she alway-
locked her ROOM door when going out,
vas apparent that the pleasantest rcin
tions did not exist. Miss Russell was

told freely all she knew without hintine
at the family relations.

Here's the way we test coins in the
treasury" And the expert swiftly poised
the dollar piece horizontally on the tip
of his forefinger, holding the thumb a
quarter of an inch away from it and
gave it brisk tap with another coin. A
clear silvery ring sounded out. Good,
but here; listen;" and he repeated the
operation with another coin that gave
out dull, heavy clink that ceased al
most as soon as it began, Type metal
and lead; nodded too That is a
wretched counterfeit" How do you
tell that it was moldedy He held the
two coins so that the light struck on
their edges.
"Just compare the reeding, will you,
or milling, as most people call it? In this
genuine coin this is very clear and sharp
cut, in the counterfeit it is coarse and
dull. That is because it is nodded instead
of being stamped in cold metal like the
government coins" "Why do the
counterfeiters not use the same cold
process?' at costs too much and makes
too much noise. With a mold, you see,
a counterfeiter can carry on his work in
a garret and if a policeman comes in he
can shy the whole outfit out of the
window. But it takes great power to
run die. Still some high flying counter
feiters do use them, and their work is
usually harder to detect, though it is
never SO perfect as that of the govern
ment mint"
"What is the surest test for counter
felt coin for popular use?" "The looks
of the reading, as was telling you
the milling, by the way, is on the face
of the coin and not on the edge, as most
people think That's the surest and
easiest thing, but Of course other tests
have to be used, especially for weight
and thickness. Springfield Repubii'

The idea of cutting designs on glass
by forcing sand against the surface of
plates and vessels Of that material was
first suggested by one of natures freaks,
Just as hundreds of other inventions
have been. An observing young man
who was summering on the coast of
New England noticed that the wind
storms in that section frequently gath
cred up large loads of sand and hurled
it with much force against exposed win
dow panes, and that these within very
short time were worn through and had
to be replaced. In places where they
were protected by leaves, vines, mos
quito netting, etc, the glistening sur
face was left intact. He set about utiliz.
ing old natures hint at once, the result
being a machine which does work that
cannot even be initiated in any other
way.-St. Louis Republic,

There are in England several coal and
metalliferous mines which extend and
arc worked at a considerable distance
out to sea. But perhaps the most re-
markable submarine coal mine is that al
Nanaimo, on Departure bay, beyond
Victoria, b. c. This mine is known as
the Wellington, and its galleries are
situated GOO feet below the surface Of
the ocean, which here incloses an archi-
pelago of islands very similar to the
Thousand islands at the head of the st.
Lawrence river. The galleries of this
pit, which are continually developing,
extend at present length of six miles
under the bottom of the waters of the
Pacific ocean.
Nearly the whole population of the
town of Nanaimo, amounting to nearly
1000, is engaged in the mines of the
place, the average daily wages per head
being from twelve to twenty-three shil-
lings. Liberal as this payment appears
to be the cost of living in that inhos-
pitable region is so high that the miners
can after all only just make both ends
meet.-Iron.

oscope. The instruments employed are
somewhat larger than the toys sold in
the shops, and some Of them are fast
