ST. ZOO OF Kermartin one morning went

The bcggar had been all night in the cold.
The next night st. ZOO compelled this beggsr
to come up in the house and sleep in the
saints bed, while st. IOO passed the night on
the doorstep in the cold. Somebody asked
him why that eccentricity. He replied "It
isn't an eccentrcity. l want TO know how
the poor snTer. want to know their agonies
that l may sympRthize with them, and there
fore slept on this cold step last night. This
is the way Christ knows so much about our
sorrows. He slept on the cold doorstep OF All
inhospitable world that would not let Him in.
He is sympathetic now with all the suffering
and oil the tired and all the perplexed. Oh,
why do you not 20 and touch Him?

echoes perhaps-weird echoes. Every TO,cs
OF prayer, every ascription of praise, every
grOan OF distress has divine response and

OF heaven are filled with sympathetic echoes
and throngs OF ministering angels echo, and
the temples OF the redeemed echo, and the
hearts OF God the Father, God the Son and
God the Holy Ghost ecno and re-echo.

Well. Christ with one wounded hand
takes hold of ono end OF the electric chain
OF love, and with the other wounded hand
takes hold OF the other end of the electric

beings may lay hold OF that chain, and
around and around in sublime and everlast-
ing circuit runs the thrill of terrestrial and
celestial and brotheriy and sanity and
cherubic and seraphic and srchangelic and

The Magnetic Water Of Pueblo.

A feature of remarkable interest at
Pueblo, Colorado, is that of the
peculiar magnetic mineral water found
there. This has coverted the whole
town to belief in its wonderful
efficacy and attracted great deal Of
interest throughout the State. Every
body seems to be drinking it, and
bathing in it for week or two with the
water at temperature of about l05
degrees Fahrenheit is considered
panacea for the most obstinate cases Of
infiammatory rheumatism and derange-
ment Of the kidneys and liver, also
dyspepsia and various other troubles,
including nervous complaints. This
water seems to be generally distributed
beneath the city of Pueblo at depth
of from 1900 to 100 feet, and has been
reached by seven or eight wells scat
tered over an area of several miles,
which were all sunk in search for
petroleum and coal, and in no case has,
well which has been sunk to a proper
depth failed to reach the water. which
is found in lumination of white sand
stone So strong is the force upon the
water below that it equals pressure
at the surface of the wells equal to that
of from fifty to sixty pounds to the
inch, and rises when confined by an
upright pipe to height of 100 feet,
and the flow from one of the wells,
which is four or FIVE inches in
diameter, and which is the only one
which has been properly cased, is esti-
mated at 5000 barrels per diem.
The water is considered most agree
able for drinking, and contains an sp-
preciable proportion of iron, Gthis
and sodas. The particular feature,
however, is its strong magnetic char
acter, as it impregnates knife-blades
and steel substances held beneath its
flow for few minutes so strongly that
they become magnets by which tacks,
needles and other small iron and steel
objects are readily lifted. This i'm
parting of magnetism by water is,
believe, disputed and secuted by
scientists whose theories are quite
clear, but the fact nevertheless exists,
and incontestably, that the water does,
with celerity, highly magnetic steel
substances held beneath its flow. It
may not perhaps do this by the ac-
cepted axiums of science, but that it
has a way of doing it is highly salts
factory to the boys as we'll as the adults
of Pueblo. This magnetic quality is
accounted the prime factor in rheu-
matte cases, and it would bo difficult
to find in the whole of Pueblo any one
who knows anything about the water
who is not a convert to it's supposed
almost miraculous qualities. In fact
q continuous pilgrimage from the
mines and different parts of the State
to the water for drinking and bathing
is going on, and it is generally be-
lieved that no case exists so obstinate
that it will not be relieved by bathing
and drinking freely of the water.-

It is a curious fact, notes the Boston
Herald, that, while the westward move
ment of the population has covered
no less than 81 degrees of longitude
70 degrees q minutes, 7 seconds), this
movement has run almost on straight
line, the extreme northern and south
ern variation embracing less than one
third of a degree of latitude (1S min
utes, Sc seconds). To put the contrast
more distinctly, we may say that, while
the western movement for the century
aggregates SOC miles, the extreme
northern and southern variation is a
little under twenty-five miles, and the
finishing point of the line is only some
six miles south of the starting point.

Manufacturing Dynamite.

The Best Dishes for Dyspeptics.

Violent cases of dyspepsia are often
cured by refraining from liquids en-
tirely. Never drink at meals, and if
thirsty between times sip little hot
water slowly. Little by little, as the
person grows better, he or she can
take coffee, even tea, at their meals.
Where chronic dyspepsia exists, gen.
orally the person must be guided by
what is found by experience to agree.
Simplicity in cooking and plain
diet is necessary. Pastry, fried
articles, meats cooked second time,
and nearly oil sweets are to be
avoided The following are some OF
the foods easy of digestion.
Mutton, sweetbreads, chicken,
partridgcs, beef tea, mutton broth,
milk, fish, oysters, stals bread, rice,
tapioca, asparagus, French beans.
baked apples, oranges, Strawberries
and peaches. st. Louis Star-Sayings,

Herr Krupp's gift of his great 12

Herr Krupp's gift of his great ia
ton gun to Chicago is peculiarly
generous, maintains the San Francisco
Examiner, since he cannot expect 1t TO
lead to anything in the way OF orders
from this country, and guns are good
cash assets in Europe just now. We
have adopted the policy of making our
own munitions of war, and Krupp has
no market here. Herr Krupp has COM
bined patriotic prudence with liber-
ality. If he had presented his gun to
our Government it would have been
mounted at New York, and might
possibly at some time have been di-
rected against q German war-ship. Al
Chicago it can never encounter any
enemy but England, and krupp Is
probably willing to take the chances ol
that.

Idaho Diamonds.

One OF the Tiffany experts and
Others recently pronounced against
the alleged diamonds from the Idaho
fields, but Herman Vreilander, an
experienced diamond cleaver from
amsterdam, who is now in an Office
at No. 81 Maiden Lane, diSagrees
with them. About three weeks ago
he received from a correspondent In
Boise City three stones which he says
are genuine diamonds Mr.. Vreis-
lander says:
when the papers were full OF
stories of diamonds found in Idaho, l
wrote to all the persons with whom |
had previously cOrresponded on the
subject giving references and asking
for samples Eventually / received a
package containing three small stones,
with letter saying that they were
found on the sender's own property.
"The stones are fine diamonds, ag-
gregating in weight 9-l6 caratS, and
are unlike any Others that have ever
seen. In color they resemble some

The remarkable feature Of these
Idaho stones is their peculiar shape.
They are what are known in Holland
as 'packwatjes,', otherwise stones

stones are found in most diamond
mines, the specimens are rare. This
popularity makes it improbable that

False Sentiment About Labor Troubles.
From "The Chicago Anarchists of
1885," in the Century, by Judge Gary,
who tried them; There seems to be
prevailing, hardly theory, but a
vague, unexpressed feeling or senti-
ment which no demagogue dares run
counter to, that in all disputes be-
tween employers and employees, re-
gardless OF the "why and where
fore Especially if the latter class
are very numerous, they, II not just.
i0able, are eXcuSahle in taking con-
troll OF the property Of the employers,
so far at least as may be necessary to
prevent the aid Of other employees in
making such property OF use or profit;
that to that end force may used, and
that If, in the exercise OF force Hf 1t
be only such as the moment may
show to be necessary to make the
preventual effectuaD, the employees

property from the employees, and to
