Fly In a sopranos Throat.

While mass was being LIBERATED at
the cathedral of the Immaculate Con-
ception in Portland, Me-, on recent
Sunday young lady from Boston, a
fine vocalist, was assuming the leading
soprano part. When the solo "Salve
kegina" was reached the lady sang the
solo, and had just reached the con-
GLIDING measure, her pure, crystalline
notes falling most agreeably on the
ear, when the members of the choir
noticed that she turned pale and placed
her handkerchief to her lips, giving
spasmodic cough. A fly had flown
down her windpipe and shut off her
wind. Fortunately at that moment
the full chorus had to sing, thus pre-
venting any break, and when her turn
came again the lady was able to re-
spond. The poor fly was afterward
found on the bosom of her dress. He
had paid for his temerity with his life.

Science of Modern Medicine.

OF all the benefits science has con.
ferred upon mankind, there is nothing
more important than the part that it
has played in the study of medicine.
With its help medicine has become
elevated from superstition to one of
the grandest pursuits within the range
of human intelligence. Through the
instrumentality of science, improve
mentS, discoveries and benefits untold
have resulted, even though as yet
many branches of it are still in the
stage of the merest infancy. A propo-
sition has been made of late to com
bine with the hospital practice of stu
dents thorough course of scientific
training on medical lines. The micro
scope and chemistry are the doctors
strongest allies. With a thorough
understanding of these two agents
added to mis- ordinary medical knowl-
edge, the physician of the future will
be able to cope with difficulties which
have heretofore been thought insur-
mountable. There is at present a.
movement going on the object of which
is to extend the course of study for
students of medicine and to compre-
bend in them more than is now in
cluded. A higher standard is also to
be demanded-higher in every respect.
1t certainly should go without saying
that physician should be of the most
exalted moral character and the
highest grade of intelligence. Ig-
norance or imposition in this direction
ought to be punished with the utmost
severity. IN. Y. Ledger.

Alloy for Soldering Glass.

An alloy formed of ninety-five parts
of tin and five of copper will, it is as
serted, adhere to glass with such
tenacity that it may be employed as a
solder for connecting tubes end to end.
1t is obtained by first melting the tin
and then adding the copper, the mix
trre being stirred all the while with a
wooden rod. This mixture is run into
a mold and melted anew when needed
for use. 1t is rendered more or less
hard by the addition of one-half to one
per cent. of zinc or lead.

A New and Excellent Bronze.

Lemon juice applied to cast iron arti-
cles gives an excellent finish to the sur
face of the metal. 1t turns the portion
of polished cast iron to which it is APP
piled to a bronze black, and when
touched over with shellac varnish will
absorb sufficient amount of the var

juice would seem to be weak and in
effective acid for metal but everyone
knows how quickly knife blade of
steel will blacisen when used to cut a
lemon, and the darkening of polished
iron by the acid is very beautiful.

dom that David had heard, and it ex.
eluded all other voices.
But Rachel-she could never be sure
that she had fallen asleep and dreamed
it-tnought that her husband came
and bent over her, that a tear fell on
her forehead, and that he patted her
gray hair with loving touch.
The next morning g Hated the
anguish of the prec, in day and
night Suddenly Rachel ,.oked;
Have you thought of The children,
David, what it means to them?'
AYE, woman, and a sore thought it
has been. Whether or no to tell them
of their parents sin, beset me like a
machination of the evil one. But | put
it away. God gave me strength for
that And this day l will consider in
what way to acquaint them with their
misfortune.
Another blow for the loving heart o I
Rachel. Her boy, living with his little
family far distant, had his mothers
sensitive nature; the trouble might
kill him.
The girl, Drusilla, was like her
| father; martyrdom would be a crown.
/ In her stern remuneration she might
never see either of them again.
AS the day wore on there was much
to be done. Gods broken law must be
patched up by one of His commits
sioners-the minister could help them
out of their present difficulty, but for
the past not all the tears of all the
L. hot ,x-hn1a nd
clean again.
These two who for forty years had
believed themselves man and wife
whom no man had put asunder-were
to be married again.
1t all came about through a lawyers
letter disputing their title jointly held
to property owned in a distant state,
and requesting Them to forward a copy
of their marriage certificate, and prove
the validity of their claim.
Once in a hundred years such a case
happens, but that it should have come
to those GOd-fearing, law-abiding, in
offensive people who were as simple
and innocent as children, seemed UNI
accountable David took the matter
to heart as personal sin.
Their minister was accustomed to all
sorts of sinners, but that any two PEG
pie, as simple and guileless as these
two babes in the wood, had gone
through life as law breakers puzzled
him greatly.
He would have laughed, but the aw
full earnestness of this domestic TRACE
dy struck him with tragic force. Wher
he saw Rachel in her bridal fnery OF
forty years ago, the little old man il
the coat that had been laid away 70

cess of emotion, he felt impelled tC
