 Rev. Sam Bettis, cowboy evangelist, thus sums up the results of his recent revival at Bay City, Michigan: '.I had over 2, 900 con-

 event. And the General proposes to finish
 the celebration by personally conducting

 starting various new enterprises connected with the Army. Professor J. B. Jones of the Hamilton Female college of Lexington, Kentucky,

 The recent handling of murder case in
 Virginia was almost as prompt as lynch
 law. On Sunday morning girl was mur- dersd by negro. The criminal was i'm
 mediately arrested and body of soldiers saved him from being lynched. On Wednesday morning his case was pre-
 scented to jury at the regular session of
 court, no arguments being made either by | the state or the defense. At 9:32 the jury l retired, and eeven minutes later they re. turned with g verdict of guilty, there
 being no question of the prisoners full responsibility for the crime. Sentence of ! death was pronounced, and the murderer will be hanged June S.-If there could be | more such work as this there would be less | lynching- One of the newest plans for the econom- ical use of artificial ice has recently been patented by Van der Weyde of Holland. The invention is based on the fact that two ! smooth surfaces of freshly cut ice when l brought into contact at temperature be-
 low 3s degrees will unite firmly. At a higher temperature the junction yields to
 blow and the ice breaks into the original
 parts. Van der Weyde casts blocks of ice into small cubes, Hhich gre stamped with ! a trademark. These cubes are joined in-
 to larger cube of any desired weight and sent out for use. The mark is 8 guarantee
 that the ice Is pure, and the small cubes, weighing an ounce each, are easily sepa- rated into a shape convenient for use.
 Three explorers in San Juan county, Utah, have discovered seven well preserved mummies beneath the cliff dwellers' house in Southeast Utah. Among the collection l is male of giant stature, two females and two boys. They are not bodies of cliff dwellers, but of some race that lived be, fore them. Their hair is reddish instead
 of black, as with the cliff dwellers, and the ! skulls are shaped like the Caucasian in- stead of fsttened at the back. The bodies ] are covered with a very curious mating of wool ard feathers, and then packed around with cedar bark. So well preserved are | they that 1t could be told that one boy had met with a violent death. The moustache
 Is still on the face of the giant. and veins | may be traced In the arm of woman. 1 Local scientists agree that they are the | bodies of 8 race antedating the cliff dwell lers.
 l In Lady Burton's life of her husband the
 following words by her husband are | quoted: Look at our nation 8 idol, the Prin-
 ceas of Wales. That lady has been the
 pivot of greatness and attrao tion for many
 long years, with every eye fixed upon her;
 yet none have ever heard her say one word,
 none have ever ssen her do sught but what
 beftted queen. And perhaps what we
 slt do not know Is, that although she may
 have been in public all day, perhaps tired
 perhaps suffering, perhaps obliged to be fir ' AL IL
 never once omitted (so long as her chil
 dren were nttl-) to go into her nursery
 every evening at a certain hour to hesl
 them say their prayers at her knee, les
 thcss little prayers should become mockery, just as any homely mothe
 among us would do if she has good sound sense and a womanly heart.
