A street sight that interests people is
the carving OF the ornamental work on
the fronts OF buildings in course of
construction Much more stone is
used in buildings now than formerly
and much more carving is done. and a
great deal of it is OF IL very much more
elaborate character. Some stone car
wing is still done in the yarl, but Il
large portion of it is done after the
stone is in place in the building; the
cost is about the same, but it appears
to be the fashion nowadays to carve
the stone after it Is in place, and on
large jobs it makes great saving Of
time Models of the carvings are ma la

At the request OF the protective com
mit.ee of second mortgage bondholdtrs
Of the Erie railroad Evarts, Cuoate g.
Beaman have given an opinion upon
the legality of the new mortgage for
$4,000, 900 that has just been author
lzed by the stockholders of the com
pany. They are Of the opinion that the
company cannot legally pay interest on
the new bonds until it has paid the in.
terest on every one Of the old second
mortgage bonds, regardless Of whether
the latter are deposited with the
reorganization committee. And if
tho old second mortgage bonds,
which are deposited as security
for the new issue, are kept "alive," "
NJ prop 'sed, the attorneys believe
that the company is really increas-
ing its obligations beyond the Legal
limit According to the law Of 1892
the bonded Indebtedness Except mort
cages given as consideration for the
purchase of real estate and mortgages
authorized by contract prior to May /,
1891, cannot excssd the amount of its
paid up capital stock II tho old bonds
are kept alive it is claimel that the
total bonded Indebtedness will far ex-
coed tho capital stock. Furthermore,
it is claimed that much OF the stock
voted at the special meeting mt which
the new mortgage was authorized was
not really owned by tho persons who
issued the promises thereon, as the law
provides.

Connollsville coke production kept
up its steady "a in last we, k, with an
increase OF 0lO tons ovar tne output
of the previous week. Shipments
spurted nj the beginning of the week.
INT did not hold out. There WAS a net
gain of about 2)0 cars, notwithstand-
ing the sluggish demand toward the
end of the week The general opinion
Of the operators seems to DO that coke
production will increase ut q slow rate
until about tho middle Of June, by
which time the output of the region
may have reached the 99j. 900 ton mark
Then tHs midsummer stagnalioa in the
iron trade will set in, and this always
effects the coko trade very materially.
A detailed report shows l,1Oj active
and 6 l0S idle ovens, with total esli
mated production of 10S 10l tons.
Compared with the production Of the
previous week this was an increase OF
G,0l1 tons. In the active list of ovens
tDere was net gain of 20G ovens. The
ovens of the region averaged 80 days
last week. The shipments aggregated
1904 cars.

Goodness will come with experience.
| have no fault to find with any of the
| officers or men. That's all, sir"
The officer saluted and retired and
made his way back to his company.
But for one thing he would have sent
for Royal Kenton and offered him his
hand and his congratulations. Both
loved the same maiden. Even if both
had stood on the same footing i'll her es-
timation when the company left the val
ley events had occurred that day which
would give his rival the lead.
The first thing Lieutenant Wyle did
after reaching his lines was to send for
Ike Baxter. He was much of the same
mold as Steve Brayton-a small farmer,
shiftless and uneducated and having
decided distaste for anything like hard
work, but far more bigoted in his Sec
tional feelings. He was not one of the
handful kenton had rallied and led
back, but was forced up with others lat
ter on ard had his lnusket been exam

have been discovered that it had not

boy said the lieutenant as Ike came
scuffing into his tent. Il want to COM

pluck and bravery you displayed in that

AN EFFECTIVE MAIDSTONE.
How 1t Adheres to the Body and Sucks
Out All the Poison.

How 1t Adheres to the Body and Sucks
! Out All the Poison.
Nearly every one has heard more or
less about madstones and the wonderful
cures with which they are credited in
saving life where a person had been bit
ten by mad dog. Many regard these
stones as mere superstition, but statis-
tics go to prove that they really do con-
tain many wonderful properties. Mad
stones are seldom heard of anywhere ex-
cept in the southern states, where they
ere quite common, and most of the. peo-
pie of that section place great faith in
them. Mrs. j. NJ. Parks, lady resid-
ing in this city, is the possessor of one
of these remarkable stones, and a report
er called on her to learn something about
them.
"Yes," she said when questioned on
the subject, Il have a maidstone and
have had it many years. My husband
found it near Magnesia Springs, Fla. I
have only had occasion to use it three or
four times since it has been in my pos
session, and each time the best results
followed. The reason that I have not
used it often is that never hear of case
where person has been bitten by mad
dog until l see it in the paper, and then
it has always been stated that the pa
tient has been taken with commissions.
1t is too late to use the maidstone then.
Spasms do not generally appear until
about nine days after the person is bit
ten, and if the stone is applied any time
previous to the commissions the poison
will be entirely drawn out by it.
THE worst case l ever cured with my
maidstone happened when a policeman
here in the city, named Price, was bit
ten on the hand by mad dog. His arm
had swollen up to three or four times its
natural size and had turned black. The
man was suffering the most excruciat,
ing agony, and his physicians had de-
SPARED of his life. l accidentally heard
of his case and at once hurried to the
house with my maidstone. The doctor
consented to give it trial, and the re-
suit was that the man recovered and is
now walking around the streets as we'll
as ever
Upon the reporters asking if he might
see the stone Mrs. Parks Immediately
produced it, remarking as she did so,
''It does not look nearly as powerful as
it really is"
1t is little, porous, chalklike sub
stance about an inch long, half an inch
wide and a quarter of an inch thick
and appeared to be sort of vegetable
compound.
The process of applying the mad
stone" continued Mrs. Parks, lis very
simple and somewhat similar to vaccina-
ton. You select some part of the body
between the bite and the heart and with
a sharp knife scrape the skin till the
blood comes, then apply the stone to the
raw spot. The stone will adhere imme-
diately, and its drawing qualities are so
great that IL will almost bury itself in
the flesh, sucking ont the poison until all
the pores of the stone are filled with the
deadly virus. The stone then drops off
of its own accord, and after being thor
oughly cleansed with milk, warm water
and soap is applied again. This is kept
up till the stone refuses to stick, thereby
showing that all the poison has been
drawn ont. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The Sting of the Nettle.

The leaf and stem of a nettle are lit
orally clothed with erect hollow hairs.
If one of these hairs is viewed under a
microscope. it will be seen that its free
end, after tapering to very fine degree
of slimness, finishes as a little knob,
while in the other direction, after grad
ually becoming more robust, it suddenly
expands intoa large bulb, corresponding
with the poison gland of the adder.
The point of the hair is very brittle,
and contact with our skin causes the end
to snap off, leaving hollow needle point
which readily pierces our cuticle, and
pressing upon the bulb at the other end
the poison is forced through the central
channel and infames our blood. The
tender handed who stroke the nettle are
stung for their pains, because their gen
tleness has only served to break the brit
tie points and rendering them fit for
piercing. but the rough handed break
the hairs at their thickest parts, where
they are too stout to priCk.-Good
Words.
