A LONG and fattering invitation

A LONG and fattering invitation
signed by an extensive list OF promi-
nent Americans has been sent to Mr..
Gladstone urging him to visit this
country. The invitation is a de-
served compliment to the Grand Old
Man, but the signers a hardly have
contemplated the remotest possibil-
ity that he will accept it. 1t is ut
terly beyond the bounds of protabil-
ity. Mr.. Gladstone is a bad sailor
and breads the ocean. Even if he
were a good sailor, he is a very old
man and has many of the infrmities
which accompany old age. Twenty
years ago such an invitation might
have been accepted by him. but ii is
now too late to expect him to cross
the Atlantic and then endure lioniz-
ing over 3. 900 miles Of land, since
Canada as well as the United States
would claim him. The invitation
will be a graceful souvenir which he
will prize. but that he will accept it
is hopeless,

and misery caused by such an un-
fortunate complication. The i'll wind
may not be looked upon as anything
but i'll. but perhaps it might be en-

SOFT coal is an unmitigated nuisance
On a passenger engine, and it's use
can only be pardoned where hard coal
cannot be obtained or where traffic is
so light as to render the expense pro-
hibitory. Many railroads which
formerly used soft coal altogether
were forced TO use hard coal on a few
passenger trains. and the comfort of
the public was thereby greatly in
creased. The patrons of a line. once
accustomed to freedom from cinders
and smoke. will hardly permit a re-

something to the education of the

Matter IndeStructibic.

An essential property of matter,
but which does not commend itself
10 superficial observation. like. those
OF extension and resistance, is indie
structibllity. So far as experience
and observation a discover, matter
can neither be created O DESTROYED.
On the surface facts seem to contra
dict this assertion, for any particular
portion of matter may be decomposed
and resolved into its constituent
parts, SO that it seems to have dis.
appeared, because the form under
which we knew it is no longer
present.
In reality, however, no diminutiob
in the quantity Of existing matter
has taken place. One proof of this
is easily afforded by combustion. : n
we allow a piece of wood OF COAL, or
any combustible solid body, to burn
away" there will, as we all know, be
ashes remaining. If, whilethe com.
bustion is going on, we. take means
to preserve not only the ashes. but
also every parC of the body which
would ordinarily be dissipated as
smoke and steam, and then weigh all
the different substances, solid, liquidl
or gaseous, that .,we. have obtained.
we shall find the combined weights
equal to the original weight of the
body itself.-GOod Words.

Nursing the Arm.
Now as to training-a particularly
important duty 70: "A pitcher. "A
pitchers arm-that is. his pitching
arms his stock in trade. he must
watch that arm as carefully as a
mother does her babe. Most pitchers
cover the arm with IA sweater or coat
when they are not pitching, while
others wear flannel bandage> upon
their arms and shoulders.
Concerning training. moreover, l
can say nothing that anyone does
not know who has made a study or
physical culture. All that is essential
is to observe the rules Of health and
to expand the chest and lungs. a
player in active training will find
hand-ball an excellent exercise. as it
develops all the muscles. Bowling is
also a favorite paStime OF miaein the
winter and spring, as ] find that
knocking down the tenpins keeps my
arm good and strong all the time. a
pitcher should be careful about using
his full strength in the early spring
games. The bones and muscles act
contrary. particularly on a very cold
day.
1t has been said that a pitcher
when he goes into d game should be
prepared to think that it is his last.
| do not believe this. for a pitcher
who nurses his strength ought to last
for many years. The long and honor

Clarkson, and James Calvin illustrate
this point.

a MONEY SIEVE.
Con6ivance for Separating Coin Taken in
Church Collections.

Consivance for Separating Coin Taken. in
Church Collections.
Lewis X. ThurlOw, of Brooklyn, has
recently patented an invention which
is likely TO revolutionize one phase of
church work. Mr.. ThurlOw is trus-
tee of one of the leading churches Of
Brooklyn. He counts the collection
every Sunday. This consists of a
large number Of quarters, dimes;
nickels and pennies. and it takes
much time to sort them out. Count
ing the money is the least part of. the
work, the great trouble being to sepa-
rate it.
Now. Mr.. ThurlOw has invented n
coin separator. It.consists of Il. box
or case, in which there are smalr
drawers. Each drawer is perforated
with round holes large enough to al
low a certain sized coin to pass
through. The top drawer will only
hold half-dollar pieces. the mex
drawer quarters, the next nickcis.
the next pennies and the bottom
dimes. :.
When the collection has been taken
up all the money received is placed in
the top compartment. Then the box
is locked and thoroughly shaken.
When it is opened it is found that
the coins have dropped through to

al statement relative to the insanity
Ct the assassin of President Garfield.
II has always been claimed that the
prosecution in the Guiteau case was
merciless and that the resources Of
the government were combined to
take his life, justitiably or not. DR..
kemp,ter states that so far from the
truth is this assertion the govern
ment instructed its own experts to
find Guiteau insane If possible, in
order that it should not go into his
tory that a President of the United
States had been shot in time OF peace

studied Guiteau for himself, and
without knowledge Of the conclusion
reached by any Of his colleagues. Dr..
Kempster further alleges that after
his death competent and disinterest-
ed examination by two specialists
showed that the brain of the assassin
was free from symptoms Of insanity.
DR.. Kempster's statement ought to
put at rest the widely held belief
that there was yindictivcness on the
part Of the Federal prosecution to-
