A Soldiers Bible.

A singular incident, which, if we
remember rightly, has had several
parallels in the past, was told by
Capt. Macfarlane, Twenty-ifth K. O.
S. B~orderers, on his return to Pindi
the other day. The gallant officer,
who is now suffering from wounds
received during the storming of the
Manhattan pass, says that while the
borderers were forcing their way
under storm of shot, a mar near
him was hit heavily in the chest and
fell to the ground. Macfarlane ran
to his assistance, and on opening his
belts, which were half cut away by
the shot, discovered the bullet
buried in a Bible, which the soldier
had carried in his bosom, and had
thus saved his life. The man had
been i'll in a hospital at Pindi some
time before, and one of the nursing
sisters had given him the Bible
which, it would seem, is occasionally
useful in carnal, as well as always
in spiritual, MISUNDERSTANDING

In NORTH
A Family That Is Favored with q
Wei of Ice Water,

It IL very refreshing in hot
weather to have an abundance of
clear, cold water. Many have wells
which have these characteristics,
but not all can boast of such a well
as described by a Hartford lawyer
in the Hartford Courant. He was
stopping with a family in North
Dakota. It was in July, and clear,
cold water-a luxury he did not fre-
quently find-was most acceptable.
The water on the table was so very
sweet and so very cold that he was
led to remark on it's excellence.
Eyes, our well has always salts
fed us, and we think we have a
good thing when we can draw ice
water in midsummer"
1T certainly is as cold as ice
water" said the visitor, not believ-
ing the remark was meant exactly
literally.
mo, but it's actually ice water;
We'll show it to you after dinner"
And after Inner out they went
and the New England man was
asked to look down. It was a small,
round, brick shaft, much like the
old wells e hereabouts, and went
down to an extraordinary depth.
But there was a beautiful sight at
the bottom. It was, sure enough, a
natural ice water tank. Pieces of
clear ice 1oated in the water, and a
close look showed a thick coating of
ice all around the sides for quite a
distance above the water. The
melting was surely slow enough
down there, and the prospect was
good for plenty of ice water, at least
till the hot weather was over.
The explanation was simple
enough. When the bucket is drawn
a little of the water always spills or
drips, and often strikes the sides of
the well asst falls. In the winter
and Dakota winters are cold-this
water at ouce freezes, and soon the
entire length of the shaft is lined
with ice. This thickens with an in
creasing rate, and it is frequently
necessary to cut it away with an ak
to make room in which the bucket
can slide up and down. In the
spring this begins to melt, and the
ice falls to the bottom. The farther
down, the slower is the process of
melting.

A STAGE LOVCR

other Man Jealous.
Too much zeal in the discharge of
his stage duties has led a jeune
premier at a Paris preparatory
theater into a d~isagreeable, not to
say painful adventure. The young
actor was acting with a lady of his
W age in a new piece and had to
make a declaration of love. He held
the mirror up to nature so we'll that
the young lady's intended husband,
who was looking on from the stalls,
flew into a towering passion and
thirsted for blood. When the per-

the stage door for the ieune premier
and whacked vigorously at the act
or's face with his cane. The PLAYER

not make any effort to return blow
for blow, but, holding up a manu-
script which contained his part in
the play, remarked to lis aggressor
that he had done no more than follow
the Instructions of the author of the
little love comedy in which he had
acted with the beautiful young lady.

Science and Agriculture.

Prof. Wiley says that lone of the
grandest discoveries of modern sci
ence" is the agency of microbes
In enabling plants to absorb from
the air the nitrogen which is the
chief factor in their growth. The
theory was first suggested by
Pasteur, and it is thought to be
fully confirmed by the researches of
independent Investigators. If it does
not deceive expectation it will COM
pletely revolutionize agriculture.
To increase the growth of plants it
will only be necessary to feed their
roots with water containing the
proper microbes.--N. Y. Tribune.

FRIDAY IN AMERICA.

Precedent Makes 1t the Luckiest Day
in the Week.
Friday should be the lucky day for
all Americans, for upon that day
Christopher Columbus sailed from
the port of Palos on his voyage of
discovery, All his plans were made
upon that day, and the substantial
details Of the long voyage were ar
ranged on Friday. He saw the first
indications of the new land on Fri
day, when birds visited his ships,
and on Friday, October y, 1892, he
discovered land. On Friday he
planted the cross on the soil of the
new world. On Friday, October 10,
he sent his official announcement of
his return in the month of April.
He entered Barcelona in triumph on
Friday. On Friday, November 16,
he found a ross planted by an
unknown hand on a deserted island
in the sea Of Notre Dame. On Fri
day, November 20, he planted a
cross in Puerto-Santo, and on Fri
day, january 4, be set sail for Spain.
1t was on Friday his fleet caught a
phenomenal stock of fish. On Fri
day, February 16, he successfully
passed through a fearful hurricane.
On Friday, March s., he received an
invitation from a former enemy.
the king of Portugal, to dine with
him. On Friday, March 16, he en-
tered Palos like a conqueror. Four
teen successive Fridays of such dis
tinguishing note should make the
day a lucky one.

TRUE.
There Is Indeed Nothing New
Under the Sun.
Recent Inventions and Discoveries Are
Found to BE But the Revival of An
cient Arts-FIying Machines
in the East.

1thas often been said that there is
nothing new under the sun, but few
people appreciate how true the say
ing really is. On the contrary,
many people belittle the former in
habitants of the earth, and assert
that they could not have been as
wise as we, and that they knew very
little of mechanics and other things
in which we r to-day we'll versed.
Thus, modern guessers have said
that the builders of the pyramids
must have made their calculations
and carried on their wonderful n
gineering operations with the aid of
pools OF water for obtaining levels.
They ssum that they must have
had only crude instruments.
The pyramids, however, them
selves show what great knowledge
of the art of building was possessed
by the Egyptians, while the marvel
wall of China shows what the
Chinese could do in the same field of
mechanics.
1t is well known that the Chinese
were the discoveries of the magnetic
compass, and that two thousand
years ago they understood the pro-
cession of the e~quinoxes.
Lately, however, evidence has
been accumulating to show that the
ancients knew even the inventions
which we plume ourselves upon as
being in reality something new
under the sun" 1t is said that an
English officer named Harrington
has discovered in India a working
telephone between two native tenn
pies, which stand a mile apart. The
testimony of the Hindus, which it is
said is backed by the best of docu-
mentary proof, shows that the sys-
tenn has been in operation for more
than two thousand years.
It is not alone in India that evil
dence Of the ancients having known
the telephone has been disco vered
but scientists engaged in e%xcavating
the ruins of ancient Egypt have
repeatedly found evidence that there
was wire communication between
1oAhC VI IuC oCiipltS VI l1t GuflleF
Egyptian dynasties. This may have
been either telephone or telegraphic.
Some Investigators Of the lore of
old nations claim that the ancients
had all of our arts and sciences, as
well as many which are now for
gotten. H. p. Blavatsky declared
that they had flying machines, and
this IS substantiated by the Buddhist
books Of the story of Buddha, which
refer to a flying machine or mechan-
ical bird, used 10 the former life of
Buddha.
Many Indian traditions speak of
air-walking machines. The mechan-
ical bird and mechanical horse with
the flying carpet r familiar in all
eastern legendary lore.
1t is a constant surprise to all
delivers into the long-forgotten past
to find that not only many OF our in
v%entions were anticipated by men
dead thousands of years, but that
also many of the g%randest and best
thoughts which we credit to the men
of the present and near past were
really uttered first long ago by
Greeks, Persians and Chinese wise
men.

HOKE SMITH ON SILVER.
He Believed I'm Free Coinage Once, but
Knows Better Now.

Washington Caty, July Il. - Secretary
HoSe Smiths attention was called to an
article published yesterday charging that
he had been at one time an advocate os
the free silver coinage and slib-treasury
plans of the Farmers Alliance. 1t was
said that five years ago he published a let
ter advocating these views. Speaking on
the subject the secretary said:
MY attention has just been called to
the publication Of letter written by mo
ln September. 1850. 70 Hon. W. l.. Peek
and published at that time in the Atlantis
Journal. The Journal was then openly
opposing the ssib-treasury scheme. and my
opposition to IL was well understood.
The letter clearly excluded the idea &c
committing me 10 ali of the seven prop
ositions which IT presented, although lt
was known that did favor the free COIN
age of silver. was giving most of my
attention TO professional work at that
time. and supposed. without thorough in
vestigation. that the free coinage Of sill
ver would carry the value OF the silver
bullion coined into a dollar to par, and
also keep silver and gold dollars upon
parity, with equal purchasing power.
Since mat / have given TO the subject
much more study, and being thoroughly
satisfied that the free, unlimited and in
dependent coinage sof silver at the ratio
of IS 10 | would result IN silver mono
aneiall.sm, I have for several years openly
opposed it."
