Here's something that will interest

There's no such thing as a maidstone
IN the world. Touch the stone to your

the water that was in it's original com
position, so that it readily absorbs the
moisture. 1t will stick to a cut or a

OF the duke of York, inasmuch as his
majesty had always expresseda strong
wish that the duke should marry
Princess Victoria of Teck. 'sThis,''
writes court gossip, sis all fiction.
1t is well known in court circle 81 says
the Pail Mall Budget, ''that the emperor
was very DESTROYS that match should
be arranged between Princess Feodore.
OF Schleswig-Holstein, the youngest
sister of the German empress, and the
duke of York; and he was much an
noyed that his project met with no en-
enlargement from her English rela-
tives."
The emperor, who is an inveterate
matchmaker, has lately been erdeavor-
ing to negotiate a marriage between
Princess Feodore and the prince of
Naples; but this has also failed, as it is
considered Indispensable at the Quiri-
nal that the heir to the throne of Italy
should marry Roman Catholic. 1t is
hoped that the princes betrothal to
Princess Clementine, of Belgium, may
yet be arranged. This match was
stopped short two years ago by Vati-
can intrigues.

SAVINGS BANKS FOR STAMPS.
To Be introduced Into the Boston Public
Schools Very Shortly.

To Be introduced Into the Boston Public
Schools Very Shortly.
It is proposed to introduce stamp
savings banks in the Boston public
schools. From various offices colored
stamps of sixdenominations and stamp
cards will be obtained. To each per-
son wishing to become depositor the
local treasurer gives him stamp card
and sells him as many stamps as he has
rnoney for. These stamps must be
pasted on the card. The card, when
full. will probably contain about five
dollars.
As soon as the child has stamps for
that sum the money is taken and de-
posted for him in some savings bank
that he may designate. The five dol
!ars once deposited he begins again,
2nd the small sum grows to larger
me under his hands. If he wishes to
withdraw he presents his card and
draws all that is on it. Then if he has
more money than he cares to use he
calls for another card and redeposits
the balance.
By this method all bookkeeping is
avoided, the child always knows just
how much he has, and the local treas
urer can tell in the same manner. If
the child loses the card, however, he
loses his money, or, rather, all that he
carried on that card.

MODEL LIGHTHOUSE.
A Parisian's Remarkable Exhibit in the
Electricity Building.

A Parisian's Remarkable Exhibit in the
Electricity Building.
F. Barber, of Paris, is making an ex-
hibit in Electricity building that will
give visitors an insight into lighthouse
construction and operation quite be-
yond anything they ever saw before.
In the center of his space Mr.. Bar
bier has erected model lighthouse of
the first order with four immense
lenses, each containing eight interior
and as many exterior panels of glass
two and half inches thick. These
lenses, egg-shaped, are six feet
high by three feet broad, and throw
light that can be seen under favor
able circumstances distance of two
hundred miles. The object, however.
that attracts most attention is sta
tionary lens eight feet square made to
set in front of the revolving tower and
thus insure to the mariner a steady
stream of light. 1t is a wonderful and
interesting piece of work. The big
light burns petroleum, mixed with
mercury. Mr.. Barber shows several
small models of various kinds, among
them a new invention for an electric
lighthouse. This exhibit is at the
north end of the building and directly
in front of the main entrance. The
first thing that strikes the visitors eye
is that enormous lens. Itgives a glar-
ing reflection.

ance. The attendance was good and
the display elaborate. Butter and eggs
were ample for the demand at about
former prices. Watermelons and canta-
loupes, which are very good this season,
were plentiful and cheap. Apples were
in profusion, as were also peaches at
low prices. Most of them, however,
were of the cooking varieties. Fox
grapes have made their appearance in
large quantities, while hard pears and
other fruits for preserving were plenti-
full. There was plethora of lima
beans and tomatoes, and both are low
enough in prices to be within the reach
ofall. Potatoes, cabbage, onions, Gym
lings, turpips, egg plants, beets, snap
beans, &C., were to be seen on most
benches. Green peppers for picking
have made their appearance. Chickens
were abundant. Butchers meats were
displayed temptingly, but prices re-
main in statu quo and very firm. Fish
werel scarce. Croakers, trout, fresh
mackerel and catfish were the only va
rieties displayed. Pretty flowers adorn-
ed some Of the benches.

Observation-Disclosures DR.. Purvis
had had narrow escape from being
rnn over and killed by a locomotive at
the intersection of Cameron and
Fayetle streets yesterday he AYERS that
Mr. Myers, one of the officers OF the
Washington Southern Railway, told
him Mayor Strauss bad given orders to
cease ringing the bells of locomotives
within the city's limits. The Mayor
having issued no such order, he had
3Ir Myers, Mr.. Joyce and DR.. Puryis
summoned before him this morning for
the purpose of examining into the
matter. DR.. Pnrvis testified that Mr..
Myers told him after the accident that
the Mayor had issued an order to the
effect that ringing the bells of the loco
motives would be dispensed with. Mr..
MYERS, however, in his testimony said
he suggested to the Doctor that his
honor MAJ hare given such directions.
DR.. Purvis still maintained that he had
quoted Mr.. Myers's language literally.
The Mayor deied all present to prove
rhat he had issued such an order or in
any way connived at the infraction OF
plain law of the city, and warned the
railway men that in future should loco
motives pass through the city without
having their bells rung he would ar
rest and fine the engineer. This misun-
Outstanding is supposed to have origi-
mated some months ago when an ap-
neal was made to the Mayor to put q
stop to the sounding oil engine bells
while some person who lived
on the line Of the railroad
was sick. But the Mayor on that oe,
casion said he could not annul q corpo,
ration statue. and that if the ringing o.
the bells did annoy one sick person
dispensing with the custom would en-
danger the lives of dozens OF well PEG

A Big PAYMENT.-During the past
few days the &. & d. R. R. Company
paid out about $4,000 to its employees
in and about this city. This money
was paid principally through checks
drawn on the First National Bank and
that amount of money was at once put
into circulation. This amount of mo-
ney distributed through the various
classes of trade within few days
should increase the circulation in this
city just that much and in measure
relieve the contraction in the circula-
ton of money which has been felt here
as elsewhere for some time. This will
be the case if those benefited by this
distribution do not hoard the money,
but if they do and others follow their
example there will be little relief felt in
money affairs for some time.
