Friendship of Christ.

"Any man any soul, may have the
friendship, or His words are without
meaning. His heart aches with pity
for our Loneliness, and for the poverty
that we misname riches. He will
listen to what we have to tell Him;
He will take what we have to offer
Him, however simple the story, how
ever humble the fare. And he will
give to us the heavenly food where
with his life was sustained-the meat
men know not of. They who have set
wide the door of their being to Him
have caught from the presence of this
divine guest their first hint of the pos
sible rapture ofliving, they have had
in the face of Christ their first true
glimpse of God."-Lucy Larcom,

GEN. THOMAS
Would Have Been a Southern Sol

General William Malone, of Vir-

terested in a well-bound volume of
substantial size. To a reporter who
ventured to ask the title of the book :,
the General courteously said:

sketches of some of the leading FEEDER

at that moment engaged on the sketch
devoted to General Thomas. 1t is a
very fair and interesting account of
his character and services. I knew
Thomas personally, for he was born
and reared in my section of Virginia.
He was military man of excellent
parts, rather slow to act, but never
able to grasp the idea that he had
been whipped. His bulldog tenacity
was strong characteristic.
II know good deal more than this
book about Thomas's predilection for
the Southern cause. In passing
through the State on his way from
Texas to New York at the time that
the Legislature was celebrating on
the question of secession, Thomas said
with emphasis: 'Thre is nothing for
the South to do but fight 1t was

Governor of Virginia to offer him an

influence had much to do with keep

A WOODEN PLOW
Suddenly ExplOdes and Kills
Two Men.

A strange and fatal expression OF
the power of high explosives occurred
at the Judson Dynamite Works, near
Berkeley. In the mixing department
was used a wooden plow, which had
become saturated with the materials
which in combination forms nitro
glycerin. This plow was in need of
repair. 1t was taken 1000 feet from
the building in order that the peril of
explosion might be lessened. L. N .
Hoffman. the general foreman, stood
near the pillow directing the work,
while John Harbitz, Allen E. Butson
and Frank Roster were making the
repairs.
Mr.. Hoffman told them there would
be danger in using hammer, bat a
wooden plow seemed a very harmless
implement and nail seemed con-
venient means of fastening loose

it in place, and struck it with ham
mer.
An explosion-not very loud--a
puff of white smoke-and Butson lay
dead on the ground, his body horribly
mangled. Harbitz also was cruelty
hurt. His right arm was mangled.a1d
in an attempt to save his life it was
amputated. The attempt was useless.
He died in two hours after he was
hurt.
Frank Roster, the third man ipiur-
ed, was within few feet of the pillow
at the time the explosiod occurred
His escape from death shows the &C.
centricities of the force of dynamite.
His only injuries were a few scratches.
Mr., Hoffman stood within Ii feet
of the two men killed and was not
hurt in any way.-Cincinnati En-

RICH FIND
Of a Californian.
Claims to Have BDiiseov-
cred the Original Lost
Cabin Mine.

Redding, Cal, June 26.-William
Murray, who has mine at the juno
ton of Kosh creek and Pitt river,
about sixty miles northeast of here,
brings news of having discovered the
richest mine in this country and says
it is the original 'Iost Cabin" mine.
which has been sought for during
the past thirty wears. He has discov-
cred lode 800 feet wide and 400 feet
high, impregnated with iron ore,
which bears gold and silver to the
value of $75 to $3.50 per ton. The
range where this mine was discover
ed is a continuation of that upon
which is the great Lost Confidence
mine, or what is generally known as
the Iroh Mountain. 1t was recently
sold to an English syndicate for $780,
600.

The drainage canal which Chicago
is constructing has caused such fears
and jealousies in other lake cities that
the question is to be investigated by a
commission of engineers whether
the reduction OF the water level of the
lakes will be great enough to interfere
with trade. The question is not now
raised for the first time, but recent
events have brought It more promi-
nently into public view.
The notion that canal to connect
the lakef with the Illinois river, and
so with the Mississippi river and so
with the Mississippi and the Gulf of
Mexico, would have the effect of
draining the lakes to the extent of in
terfering with travel seems rather
strained and improbable, bat it has
been seriously debated by engineers,
who are not agaeed in their estimates.
The canal will take from the lake 5000
cubic feet of water per second, but ten
years honce the amount will be
doubled. This is considerable vol
ume of water, but when we compare
it with the 225,000 cubic feet per sec
ond that flow through the Detroit
river, from Lake Huron to Lake Erie,
it does not seem SO alarming. 1t is
even affirmed that the tunnels of the
Chicago and Milwaukee water-works,
when running to their fun capacity,
take in more water than the canal will
do.
The waterway which Chicago calls
by the modest name of drainage canal
is in fact meant to be a great ship
canal, which will withdraw water
meant for the st. Lawrence river and
transfer it to the Gulf of Mexico. 1t
is an ambitious project and is well
calculated to excite jealousy among
the commercial rivals of the Windy
City, But it seems very improbable
that the water so withdrawn will
have any serious effect upon the depth

EVERY PAPER
A FORGERY.
Peralta Claim Judicially
Declared a stupendous
Fraud,
Decided in Favor of the
Government
And the Persistent Claim
ant Arrested.

Santa e, N. NJ, June 25.-The
great Peralta grant, situated in Arizo-
ma and New Mexico and covering 49,
100000 acres of land, which has been
on trial for three weeks was decided
to-dayEby the Private Land Claims in
favor of the Government. The claim
ant was in court, appearing cool and
collected. The court held every title
paper to be forged and manufactured
and that the mission records of San
Salvador, Cal, were forged to enable
the wife of the claimant to connect
herself with Peralta family. Chief
Justice Reed announced it was not
necessary to determine who Mrs.
Peralta Reavis was but it was suffi-
cient to hold that she was not an heir
to the alleged grant nor entitled to
maintain the suit. The written opin-'
ion will be filed by the Chief Justice
as soon as it can be prepared.
Upon advisement Reavis was ar
rested by the United States Marshal

HONG KONG PLAGUE.
Again Breaks Out and Causes
Fear In China.

Washington, June 26 The United
States Consul at Foo Chow, China, re-
ports the appearance of the Hong
Kong plague at that place. He says
that it is already established as an cpl
demic, but that, so far, it is confined to
the city proper. He adds:
"There is no question or donbt about
the epidemic in the city being identi-
cal with that which last year caused
such mortality in Hong Kong and
Canton and other Chinese ports. The
circumstances attending its APP
pearance and progress unmis-
takably stamp it as the plague ;
and in the infected districts within
the city the rats are dying in great
numbers, just as has been the invaria-
BILE rule wherever the plague has
shown itself in the past.
In a city like Foo Chow it is i'm
possible to institute any sort of sapita-
ry measures to prevent the spread Of
contagious diseases, or even to miti-
gate the sufferings of the victims. So
unless the present epidemic dies out
of itself, there every prospect that mis-
cry and death will come to thousan,
of the 100000 of people living in the
proper and its immediate suburbs"

A FAMOUS PHRASE.
Origin of the Expression, BLOOD
is Thicker than Water"

The expression, "Blood is thicker
than water" was first used by Cap
tain Josiah Tattnall, U. S. N. This
gallant officer, in June, 1895, convey
ed United States Minister Ward to
the Peiho River, China, Admiral
Hope, in command of British and
French fleet, was attempting to ascend
the river. A terrific battle took place.
Tattnall, though noncombatant per-
formed many acts of gallantry in re-
scuing British and French soldiers
and sailors He was greatly praised
for his conduct in the whole affair
1t is true that he had violated peu-
trality in giving aid to the English
while they were at war with a nation
friendly to us, and for this he was crit
icised. 1t was then that he made his
famous reply:
81 did my duty. Blood is thicker
than water, and it was not for me TO
stand by and see men of my race mas
sacred by barbarians."
In his opinion he was upheld not
only by American popular approval,
but by the National Government.

THE ADVOCATE.
How CoIored Lamps Are Made.

"Almost everybody supposes tina,
these little globes are made of colored
glass; said an electric light wlrer the
other morning, picking up one OF the
colored iucandescent lamps preparato-
ny to fastening it in large illuminate
ing sign, "but the color is not in thu
glass it is only laid on the outside.
There's where the globe was dipped"
and as he held up the lamp for inspec-
ton, a tinge of red color could be sect
extending like thin film around the
brass top on the lamp, and showing
plainly that the brilliant red had been
gained by plunging the completed
lamp into liquid. To look at the
colored incandescents as they are used
in decorating halls or forming illumi-
mated signs, almost anyone would
take it for granted that their coloring
was in the composition OF the glass.
But to color glass in composition re-
quires preparation of gold and cop
per, and is too expensive to satisfy the
ordinary demands of business. The
companies have therefore been driven
to find some cheap substitute for gen.
uine colored glass, and that substitute
is now obtained by covering the
globes with liquid coloring matter
and allowing them to dry. The effect
is just as good as if the globes were If
genuine colored glass, but the coloring
is not SO lasting. 1t way be washed
off or it may fade, and until the color
ing process is perfected, the color can
not be depended on in any case for long
use without renewal. Although it
might at first be thought that this
method could be used for coloring the
glass used in all kinds of signal lamps
the large colored globes in Druggists
windows, or anything else where col
ored glass is wanted, it is easy to see
that whenever flame comes in prox-
unity to glass colored by the cheap
method, the color, made up as it is
with alcohol and an inflammable gum,
will be destroyed. This method has
been used for making cheap eye
glasses and spectacles, however; for
piece of mica colored with a film of
aniline is just as good protection
against the glare of the snow as if the
had used the finest COL
ored lenses.-Boston Transcript.
