A Sanitary BuiIdiur.

In Yokohama unique building has been constructed by Dr. W. Van der Heyden. The wallsare of boxes of glass arranged in brick fashion and filled with a solution of alum, which allows light to pass, but intercepts certain heat rays. These boxes. which have now resisted during one year and half the influence of cold and heat, shocks and earth quakes, are resting on cast iron supports. The necessary gaps between two rows are filled with felt and then covered with boards. A series of the boxes above each other and next to one another, with as little space between as possible, and this space filled with felt, forms the outside walls of the house. The roof, which is fiat and is supported by the cast iron pill lars which carry the boxes, can be made in exactly the same mold.
 In the house, glass panes pressed against each other, but with strips of rubber between than, form the horizon tai ceiling. Above this thick layer of ashes rests, whereupon is light frame work of wood covered over with ce- nnent. This of course makes the roof nontranslucent. but it defends the roof we'll against radiant heat, and being made of bad conducting material the heat of the interior is not lost. The four walls being totally translucent, there is more light than in any other description of dwelling. Special arrangements pro vide for ventilation and drainage Medical Record.

Montana sapphires.

Garnet crystals not fine enough for gems are found in North Carolina. They are of huge size, sometimes weighing as much as 20 pounds, and they are cut into dishes and cups. Tons of them are crushed to make emery and kind of sandpaper called garnet paper. At Ru- by mountain in Colorado is a remarka- ble deposit of such great crystals of garnet, which, being included in soft matrix, usually come out perfect in their beautiful geometrical shapes. They are sold for weights add ornaments. Emeralds, rubies and sapphires are found only in North Carolina and Mon tana. The Montana sapphires, dug from the gravel bars of the Missouri river, are mostly of poor quality, though some of the crystals are fine. They are plen- tiful enough, the so called Colorado bar yielding 2,600 ounces of sapphires to the acre.-Boston Transcript.

Daily Paper. a. the North Pole.

No people in the world cling to their newspapers like the English. In the arctic expedition of 1875 one of the chaplains provided file of The Times with the reports of the Crimean war, 20 years old, of which he doled out two copies every day, one to each ship. The captains and officers had it first, then it was handed on to the fo'c's 'le, and in a little while every one was as keen about the Russian news as if the war had been going on at the moment. The chaplain in con trol of the press used to be be- sieged with entreaties for an evening edition, and when Sevastopol was on the eve of being taken excitement ran so high that the newspaper locker was almost stormed. However, the editor stood firm and continued to dole out his single edition day, so that the in terest was kept up to the end of the ex- pedition.-London Million.

p... HI. Wa, SIX rhou..pa Miles.

On Sunday morning a dust begrimed young man stepped from the through freight train at the Pennsylvania rail- road station in Jersey City after jour ney of 5000 miles. Els is John J. Shields, aged 21, of Springfield. Ills, and he has accomplished the weary distance in one month, almost without the use of money, to earn a wager of Sl00. He was work ing in the coal mines near his home, and hearing the wager offered by local sport at once accepted and started out to cross the continent without money. By dint of stealing rides and going without food and sleep most of the time he made his way to Tacoma at the rate of 1000 miles week.
 From there he journeyed, with the help of a friendly engineer, to Los Angeles. from which place he at once startedeast. He frequently had to beg food at farm houses, and once he was prompted by hunger tosteal achicken, but was caught, tried, acquitted and asked to leave the town. He passed through Prescott, A. T., and Dallas. After working two days on a ranch for $l day he started north. During this part of the journey he was put of tue train by the brakemen doz- en times arriving here in wornoat aud feotscrs srAsIitisn. New Yexh pisnAtAA.

TROOPS FOR QUEEN ILL.
Hawaiian Royalists Importing Recruit
 From Canada


 From Canada.
 VICTORIA, B. C., March 1S.-The Hawaii an steamship Warrimoo, just arrived, brings confirmation of the enlistment of Canadian volunteers for the service of Queen Liliuokalani. The plan was fully described in dispatches sent from here early in January. which at the time were discredited as false. It now appears that their authors were in full possession of in. side information on the subject. The dis patches say:
 More than an ordinarily large number of steerage passengers, many of them Eng Gshmen and Canadians, some wearing military badges, arrived here during Jan uary and February. They have no osten- sible employment and are understood to be we'll supplied with money, while their sympathies are with the royalists. They are supposed by the police to have been engaged or enlisted by Sansome of Van couver, and the military appearance of many of them has given the authorities reason to believe that they are here for the purpose of resisting the provisional gov. ernment.
 The opinion prevailed that the report previously sent of the enlistment of men in Canada was a fake, but the presence of at least 60 strangers confirms the original story. In view of the presence of these men the provisional government has put half the citizens under arms and has passed strict regulations in regard to the landing of passengers by steamers.

Ohi to have lived when earth was young, And everything was charming, When bears and tigers were like lambs, And snakes were not slarmingi When every day the sun shons out The whole world went a-Msying. And lovely maids on every hand Through forests dense were strayingi Ohi to have known the peerless knights Who went out dragon killing, And who to succor innocence Distressed were more than willingi Ohl to have owned the purses which With gold were always glist'ningi Ohl to have seen the fairies come To every baby's christ'ning- Ohl to have been for one hour on A magic carpet sitting, And in the twinkling of an eye From land to land go flittingl Just to have once giant seen, Though at a civil distance, And to a princess in distress
 Have offered some assistance. Ohi to have had the lamps, the rings That friendly genii grantedi Ohi to have met the lawns aud swans Winch always were enchantedf Ohl to have lived when beggar men Great kingdoms could fnheriI When princesses could marry churls, And wishing was . merritt When peasant lads and monarch's sons Were equally undaunted, When every tree and rock and stream Was by some fairy haunted. Ohi to have known the time when tears Were always turned to laughter. And grief to joy, and people lived Happily ever afteri

across and ask him to marry them, bu, the supposed princess was to say she had travelled long way to he the wife of their chief, who must come for her himself, or she would return to her na- tive place.
 When Hah- Undo-Tah heard this, he would come in his own canoe. After the marriage. Odshedoph must make the opportunity to cut off the bridegroom g head with the blade of sword grass.
 It was now morning, and the old woman told the young man to start out on hls mission. At first he kept up good heart, but when a full sense of his undertaking came over him his cour- age failed him. Turning to retrace his steps, the fog closed about him like wall, and he could only find his way by going m the way he had started.
 It all came about as foretold. When the Indians saw the shining bowl, they came f1ocking to the beautiful princess, who refused to wed any one but Hah- Undo Tah himself.
 And so the Red Sorcerer came after his bride in the state canoe, the ribs of which were formed of living rattle snakes, with heads pointed outward to protect the chief from his enemies.
 The marriage took place at once, al- though the bridegroom mother op- posed the nasty union, saying no good would come nf it. Even after the cer- emony the mother voiced her doubts of the new inmate of the household. at which the bride affected much indig nation and walked out of the lodge to the beach where they had landed. The bridegroom followed her to where she sat weeping. and resting his head in her lap he tried to cheer her up by planning a number of delightful slaughters, in which she was to assist, one of them be- ing that of her own family.
 His bride, in the meantime, was gen. tly stroking his forehead and grooming a lullaby. Soon the ''terror of the lake" fell asleep. and Odshedoph, taking the off the head of the sleeping sorcerer. Taking one of the canoes he soon cross ed to the main shore, carrying the head with him. Here he waited until the cries of the Indians told him the head less body had been discovered, when he started off to find his friend, the old woman who makes war. She was de-
 lighted to see him again so soon, and cutting off a lock of the Red Sorcerer's s hair she bade tie young man change into his own clothes and set out at once for home, bearing the head with him, which would establish his reputa- ton for bravery beyond any question. Upon his arrival home, he found his parents mourning for him as one dead. They scarcely knew him at first, for he had changed from timid youth into 8 man who had seen many wonders and achieved mighty deeds. When the head of Hah- Undo-Tah was shown to the as- sembled tribe, great shout of triumph and thanksgiving went up that one oi their own people had done this deed. l. Odshedoph was made powerful chief. His name was placed among the great warriors of the earth, for in all the land that lies between the great waters be- yond which no eye can see the Red Sor. cerer had been feared, and Odshedopt had delivered them out of his hands, Louis Phillips in Philadelphia Press.

The multiple fork has gradually encroached upon the spoons domain until even the various grains and vegetables of the more elusive sort, which were once wont to occupy little dishes and have tea spoon apiece, are now amalgamated with the rest. of the dinner and disposed of as best one may with a four tined inn plement. For the present teaspoons are still permitted for stirring and slipping beverages without incurring the odium of greatness and snlgarity .-Boston EsrA1a.

CRUSHED BY ROCK.
Bodice of the Gaylord Mine Victims Pound
 and Brought to the Surface.


 wuKRsRkRRR, Pa, March 13.-The King ston Coal company finally consented to give some information regarding the fate of the ls men who were entombed. The company officiais admitted that one of the bodies had been recovered. It had been crushed beyond all recognition. The bones were placed in a casket and hoisted to the surface shortly bcfore midnight. Superin- tendent Rosser of the rescuing gang sd- mitted that all the men were crushed be. heath the heavy fall of rock and coal.
 At midnight the excitement among those who had gathered at the mouth of the slope was almost at fever heat, and many of thoee in the crowd were irclined to blame the officials of the company for keeping back the news from the rescuing party. The theory that the men died from starvation Is exploded, and there is no question that they all perished when the fall occurred.
 At about o'clock this morning two more were brought to the surface. They, too, were crushed and entirely unrecogniEsble Mrs. Walsh, whose husband was among the IS unfortunate men, believes that one of the three bodies Is that of her husband.
