ANIMAL. without stomacns.

Cats get along perfectly well with
out stomachs, according to experiments
recorded in the Archives de Physiol-
ogie. In one cat, which lived for forty
eight hours after its stomach had been
cut out, the oesophagus was found to
have been completely united with the
intestine. Another cat, which weighed
four pounds when it lost its stomach,
was alive and well and weighed four
pounds and a half three months and a
half after the operation. 1t found diff
ficulty in digesting pure milk, but got
along nicely when the milk was mixed
with yolk of egg and rice, and ate
cooked meat, cheese, and puree of po-
tatoes. This proves that all three
classes of food, albuminoids, fats and
farinaceous substances, are digested by
the agastric cat. As it had been pre-
viously proved that dogs can do with
ont stomachs, the next step would seem
to be the production of agastric man.

at Chicago when one of them dropped
a quarter, which rolled towards we'll
known store window. The girls both
stopped and chartered volubly as to the
probable whereabouts of the money.
A stout, aggressive type of femipinity
also stopped, and, discovering the
quarter, quietly placed her swell-sized
Chicago foot upon it and proceeded to
innocently gaze at the display of bar
gains in the window. Probably suspi-
cion of the woman's act dawned in the
minds of those girls, for they kept
looking around and about the skirts OF
the impassive piece of avoirdupois,
who calmly held her ground and the
quarter. Tired of searching, the two
girls marched off in huff. Then the
stout individual stopped down and
picked up the quarter. Unluckily for
her just as she was in the act one of the
girls looked around. Taking in the sit
uation she and her friend hurried back
to the spot. The stout woman was
equal to the occasion. She moved along
with slow and impressive gait, which
was evidently too much for the girls,
who gave up the battle.

Truly Colossal Timepiece.

One of the most wonderful clocks in
the world is being exhibited in St.
Petersburg. 1t was originally manu-
featured for the late Duke Charles OF
Brunswick, who bequeathed it to the
Swiss confederation. There are no
fewer than 95 faces to this colossal
timepisce. 1t indicates simultaneously
the time Ct day at so different spots OF
the earths surface, besides the move
ment of the earth around the sun, the
phases of the noon, the signs OF the
zodiac, the passage over the meridian
of more than so stars of the northern
hemisphere, and the dass according to
the Gregorian, Greek, Mussulman and
Hebrew calendars. So complicated are
the works that it took two years to put
them together after the clock had been
sent in detached pieces from Switzer-
land to Russia.

How a Barber Is Trained.

A barber has been describing his
methods of teaching his apprentices.
After lathering, he says, 1.-The great
lesson is to learn how to handle the
razor with frmness and lightness, and,
once that is known, it's half the battle
won. first practice my lad on glass
soda water bottle. He has to lather it
thickly, and with the razor only, get
all the soap off and make it quite glossy
again. That gives him practice in
rounding a surface safely; when he
can do that l make him lather and
shave a broom handle clean, without
showing any cuts in the wood. The
next few lessons are devoted to shaw
ing a hairy surface, such as a clipped
rabbit skin, or even a hairy vegetable
leaf. This wants deal of care. Then
he tries his hand on me-"

Outdoor Preaching. 2
Boston Advertiser.

What wonderful contrast there was be-
tween DIR. f. f. Hale's Sunday afternoon ad-
dress on Boston Common the day before
Yesterday and the inane rubbish that is
generally inflicted in the name Of religion
upon the victims of outdoor preaching in that
localityi We are glad Of the prospect that we
shall have more OF the sort that we had last
Sunday, II not less of the customary sort
There seems to be no good reason why ont.
door preaching should have fallen into disre-
pute, except that 1t has been left to preachers
whom nobody wants to hear indoors. Some
of tho grandest sermons that ever fell from
living lips or responsive hearts were delivered
under other roof than the blue arch OF
heaven. Some of the greatest religious move
ments in Christian history have had their
initiative and momentum given them by field
preaching. II it's with unfeigned Joy that we
observe the evidence of a we'll directed attempt
TO rescue Sunday afternoon religious work on
Boston Common from the contempt and
wastefulness into which'it has been allowed
in times past TO fall.

MONEY TO BURNT

We take it that when the new dormi-
tory at Kingston is built there will be a
good-sized fund of money left over from
the $780, 900 appropriated by the Assem-
bly, for the purpose.
We understand that the wall that re-
mains from the original dormitory is TO
be utilized, and we have it on the word
OF the board of managers of the
institution that that wall has n value OF
$1,000 for incorporating into the new
dormitory.
The estimate for the new dormitorv
amounts to $4,000. Crediting $1,000 to
the old wall, the actual cost of the new
dormitory would thus be S2G, 900.
While the record of the Kingston
school inclines us 10 doubt that
the board of managers know
what they are talking about,
and while the financial methods in vogue
at the institutions are notable for clear.
ing up appropriations with an exactness
that suggests loose buying, we should
still think that some money ought TO be
left from the appropriation after the
dormtory is completed.
What will be done with the balance
We can't conceive that any part Of il
viii be permitted to leave Kingston
Hill.
Maybe-and we suggest this only as n
theory. but theory quite in line with
the business practices that characterize
the Kingston manaqement-wor will
be begun on the foundation Of the drill

HAwAu's blue book demonstrates
what a prosperous little island Is this
new American Republic. 1t appears
that the capital invested in the leading
enterprises of the islands amounts to
S36, 900, 900, of which more than Ss5,-
600, 600 is American. The sugar indus
try, in its various branches, represents
investments of $4,000, 900, of which
Americans own sls, 100000. The ex-
ports of sugar last year amounted to
$40, 200. 900, Of which more than 80 per
cent. came to the United States. The
public debt Of the Republic is S3,4l7,-
400; the revenue from the sale of pub
lie lands and other sources is ample to
pay interest charges and the running
expenses of the government, and the
islands are enjoying a season of indus
trial development which is the assur-
ance of increased prosperity.

Mark Down Sale of Money.
Chicago Commercial-Union

chicago Commerclal- Union.
Fifty persons were in line all day last Mon.
day at the fair buying IS gold pieces for
S475, and ~ silver pieces for 80 cents. II had
been advertised Sunday that 1000 S5 gold
pieces and 1000 ~ silver pieces would be sold
on these terms providing people brought the
even change. The object, as advertised, was
to demonstrate to the Illinois State Senate
that the fair was not afraid to sell things at
or below cost.
For convenience a cashiers desk was moved
10 tho first landing OF the main staircase, and
the customers came up one staircase and
after being waited on, went down the other.
The people In line were mostly women. who
devoted at least 80 cents worth OF time to max.
ing quarter. Every note had to be closely
scanned, and every coin rung on the counter
Questions were asked, jokes were cracked
and stories told. The sale began at o a. m,
and at IL n. m. only 300 pieces had been Sold
OF course they were all gold pieces.
Times are still hard enough. but not many
persons would stand in line an hour for 10
cents. As demonstration Of the fairs legal
right, and as an advertisement, the scheme
was a shining success. and was well worth the
$3.50 IL cost.

prosperous planter named Estes, who was
opposed TO the marriage of his daughter with
one "Will' Green, and accompanied by his
son. pursued them 10 the residence OF the
Rev. Mr.. Harwell, where the ceremony was
about to be performed. The bridegroom
came forth, pistol in hand, and promptly slew
the father. who WAS left dying in the road.
his son, also shot at and missed, bending over
him. while the groom and bride expectant fed
forth TO neighboring township, where the
interrupted ceremony was completed. The
incident embodies an element of tragedy not
usual in exploits Of the kind, and presents
the Georgia daughter in entirely new
moral and flial attitude She is probably the
only woman in that State who has married
the slayer Of her parent before his body was
cold, and thore is little likelihood that the
unique character Of this distinction will be
disturbed With such women as the mothers
of the local Gracchi, what civic and flial, and
fraternal virtues may not be expected among
them!

worth. almost entirely, according to the out

dustry. however, has never hourished in this
country TO any remarkable extent, while in
Antwerp there are 1900 persons engaged in
cutting stones. and 5000 others directly con-
nected with the trade in America, up to last
year. only Is diamond cutters were known to
be at work, and they were chiefly employed
in recutting old stones At the present time
they are probably 800 or more cutters in the
United States, and they are for the most part
employed in cutting rough stones. 1t is ex-
pected that by next summer this number will
be at least doubled. The increase is due to
the fact that in the last tariff bill the import
duty on cut diamonds was increased from 10
TO % per cent, anda duty was also put on
rough diamonds, which were formerly on the
free list.
