How contaglon Is: Carried.

A physician in country village has lately given his medical brethren some additional instances of the ways in which contagious are spread that should make us all thoughtful. The only case of scarlet fever ever lost by this doctor was one in which the dis ease was communicated by letter written by a mother Gin whose family there. were two cases of the fever) to a friend hundred miles away. The en- velope of the letter was given to a child as a plaything. Another severe case of the fever was contracted by a little girl from two playmates who had what the doctor called scarlet rash, '' and still another was carried to a fam fly by Q carpenter, who lived eight miles away, whose little children were ailing with scarlatina, disease that ''the attending physician informed the father was not nearly as catching as scarlet fever"

A Human Face Produced in . Miracu-
 lous Manner.
 In the Oak Hill cemetery at Stony Brook, l.. l., large tombstone of mot tied Italian marble bears a remarkable portrait of an average-sized human face. The picture is not the work of a sculptor, nor has it been graven with the marble-cutter's chisel; it is a natu- ral production, the outlines of the face being formed by peculiar grouping of the clouded veins and dark spots char acteristic of first-class imported stone. The remarkable peculiarity of this par ticular stone has been known for two or three years, and throughout the length and breadth of Long Island it is referred to as ''the miracle face" Standing near, as one would in reading an epitaph or inspecting the grain and polish of such memorial shaft, the but at distance of from thirty-fve. to fifty feet it is as plain as though done with an artists brush, the grouping of the spots, veins and waving lines com bining to make not only fair resem- blance to face, but complete DOT trait, including hair, eyes, nose, cheeks. mouth, chin, etc. Its outlines are dearest, of course, when the shadows and light play properly upon it, but at the distance mentioned, and in the proper direction, the portrait is plainly visible atall times. The face is on the back of the stone, and the eyes are so set as to appear to be looking down upon the grave of the person to whose memory the shaft was erected.

An Amusing Anccdote of the Edinburgh

An Amusing Anecdote of the Edinburgh
 General Assembly.
 Among the many anecdotes relating to the celebrated Dr. Chalmers, an amusing one was once told by gentle man on his return from his first visit to Edinburgh.
 He had heard great deal about the wonderful oratorical powers possessed by some of the members of the general assembly, and, being anxious to hear and judge for himself, paid an early visit to it.
 Next to him, relates the Youths Companion, sat an elderly, hard-fea- tured, solemn-faced man, who was leaning with both hands on a heavy stick, which he eyed with great con- centration of gaze, scarcely lifting his eyes from his absorbed contemplation of it.
 Soon the strangers attention was riveted upon the speaker who had opened the days discourse. The won ierful command of language which he possessed, combined with his elo- qucnce of style and the peculiarity of his manner, excited the listeners curi- osity to a great degree. ''Can you tell me who is speaking now?" he asked, eagerly, turning to the sober-faced old man beside him.
 "Who's speaking noo?" echoed the old man, lifting his eyes from the con- temptation of the stick to fix them in contemptuous amazement upon his in terlocutor. That, sir, is the great Docther Chawmers, and I'm holdin' his stick!''

MYSTERY OF A NECKLACE.

Genuine Diamonds Carelcssly Placed In
 Theatrical Property in London.
 In support of the idea that it is not easy even for the practiced eye to de- tect the false from the real diamonds, writer in London Sketch repeats this story of an actors experience:
 A very popular melodrama had been produced in London, piece in which the heroine did as new women are pop ularly supposed to do, and then re- pented in the last act. To emphasize her repentance, she took the diamond necklace from her neck, cast it upon the ground and spurned it heavily. The long-suffering necklace was made og paste stones, with strong gold set tings, and had to be repaired two or three times a week, owing to its cruel usage. After a very long run in town the piece was sent into the provinces, and the poor necklace was, as usual, thrown about and trodden on, until it came to grief once more and was sent to some provincial jeweler for the usual repairs. Toward the evening the man. ager sent man to fetch it in time for the performance. "Where is your written ordcr?" said tho man of jewels. Said the messenger: t'Ain't got none it's only property necklace" or words to that effect. Well" said the trades man, whc knew good thing when he saw one, "you go back for written authority; I don't give diamond neck laces worth more than a thousand pounds to the first man who calls for theml"s When the manager received the message he was furious and went to the shop at once. There he found to bis amazement that the necklace So reclzlessly treated O nights was com possd of genuine diamonds worth a ] large amount. For a long time nobody could understand the mystery. but it was afterward cleared up. At the shop at London where it was regularly re paired the stones had once been set aside by those belonging to a noble lady's tiara. They were, by some some strange chance, very similar iu size, shape and number, and by mis take the paste went to the tiara and the diamonds to the propersy necklace

A BoA.s CLEVER TRICK.
The serpent's silent Capture of an Un.

The serpent's silent Capture of an Un-
 s1specting Sparrow.
 A sight very seldom seen by any but professional naturalists was observed the other day in a German geological collection. The boa-constrictor is a non-poisonous snake, and kills its prey by squeezing it to death. Ayoung boa had been kept in a cage over a week with three sparrows without taking any notice of the pres ence of the birds, nor did the latter manifest any fright of the rep tile. One day, says the Philadelphia Record, the snake appeared to watch the movements of the birds, then pick ing seeds off the floor of the cage, and slowly began to unwind from the branch of the tree on which it spent most of the time. Almost inpercep- tibly the loops on the tree disappeared, the body of the snake becoming more and more disengage9, but its head still remaining at considerable distance from the floor. All of sudden the for ward part of the snakc's body shot downward with lightning rapidity, grasping one of the unsuspecting birds, not with the mouth, but with a rapid twist of the body, crushing it at the same time until quite lifeless. This was done so quickly anu noiselcssly that the other birds never noticed the absence of the victim. The boa then re- turned to the tree above, and after a little preparation of further pressing the bird and covering it with mucus it proceeded to swallow its prey with out biting or chewing. As the boas al. ways take their food at night or in the dark, this spectacle was thought very

RenOyatlpg q Prairie Pasture,

We had an experience in this line two
years ago. The prairie pasture on the
upper farm had gradually been failing.
Owing to lack Of pasture for the cattle
we had bssn compelled to keep the
herd on 1t longer than ought to have
been the case. SunAowers and bull
nsttlea began to spring up oil over it,
while the native grasses seemed to be
dying. Under these conditions il seemed
desirable TO attempt to establish some
tame grasses on this prairie land.
Accordingly the surface was out with
q disc harrow, weighted and driven over
IL In several directions, and mixture OF
perennial grasses, consisting Of orchard
grass, timothy, red top, meadow Rescue,
blue grass, with some clover and alfalfa,
was sown broadcast on the loosened sur
face, narrowed in, and rolled. A timely
rain caused the seed to germinSts
promptly, and in three weeks there was
q fine show Of green from this seed nearly
all over the field. The tame grass ap-
peared to have obtained splendid foot
hold, but by the middle Of June it
became apparent that the prairie grass
was disposed TO dispute with the tame
grasaoo Tor supremacy. Il came in ihiOk
end grow vigorously ana tha weak gssd,
