To Prevent Suicides.

The illustrations represent simple
and durable appliance for preventing
accidental drowning or suicide of per-
sons in wells. which has been invented
by Mr.. Rutnagur Off the Indian Textile
journal, and which has obtained the
approval of the Royal Humane Society
of Great Britain. This gentleman has
been induced to devise this appliance
owing to the large number of suicides
which annually take place in bombay,
it being stated that there is scarcely u
well in the city that has not. at some
time. been used for this purpose. AS
will be seen the appliance consists of II

with four-inch meshcs. The hoop is
about one foot less in diameter than

So many injuries to health have hap
pened. and are constantly happening.
from the eating of timed meats and
fish that some Of the great Canadian
and American companies have decided
to substitute glass jars for tins hith-
erto used. The wisdom of this decision
is questionable, seeing that new
danger is substituted for an old one in
the form of liability to injury from
Clipped pieces OF glass, as proved by
the use of glass jars for jams. Would
not stoneware prove more suitable for
all such purposes?

the American troops who were killed
in the Paoli massacre were buried in
the graveyard of the old church.
An interesting story is told of the
Rev. David Jones. who was Wayne's
chaplain from 1777 to 1888. 1t is said
that holding services at st. David's
during the war, he saw from cpul4
pit, comfortably seated before
him, several young and active
men. His anger rising, he threw
away his sermon and. shaking his
fist vehementlv at the astonished
youths, demanded to know why they
did not go into the American army
and fight the British. Il am not afraid
to CO." he said. They may kill me,
il they like, and make drumhead out
of my old hide, but on it they will play
extraordinarily till the British are scat
tered out of the country" Then, in
wild excitement, he threw off heavy
military cloak which hung around his
shoulders and displayed an American
uniform.
After the war was over the Rev.
William Currie, in 1888 again took
charge of st. David's for few years,
and began to cnergetically collect
funds to repair the ravages which time

The Great Valley Episcopal Church
of Chester County, st. James at Perki-
omen and the SweCes' Church near Nor

in one parish, the result was the call

1892, while Mr.. Clay was rector, the
church was incorporated. 1t was dur
ing Mr.. Clays rectorship an addition
was made to the graveyard and the
wall repaired. The present northwest
wall of the graveyard was added mt n
still more recent date. This forms the
boundary line between Delaware and
Chester Counties.
On July 30, 1870, Bishop White con-
Quoted the first confirmation ever held
in st. Davids church, sixteen persons
being admitted to membership. About

church was brought forward by the

E.nln Pasha.s Romance.

A pretty little romance is told of
Emin Pasha, the African explorer,
who was the cause Of Henry NJ. Stan
ley's expedition. In early life before
leaving Hungary he fell in love with a
charming little playmate, still in short
dresses. Although he did not tell his
love, it was SO deep that no other
woman has ever shared it. He retired
from society, became a misanthrope,
and did not marry. Long years after,
while attending the wife of Ismail
Pasha in his professional capacity, nc
found in her his former love. The re-
suit was the old story. Ismail. after
many hardships in war and prison life,
died to make way for Emin, who de-
clarcd his love and won the widow.
