Unconscious For Three Weeks.

William c. Murphey, cashier of the First National bank of Grown Point, Ind, fell unconscious month ago while conversing with friend at the bank, and for three weeks remained SO He lay in a comatose condition, not even recognizing his wife and not speak ing word. Little nourishment has been given him. For the last few days ahis condition has seemed to be improv- ed. He seems to recognize some persons, and his appetite is better, but he must be fed with spoon. He cannot say & word, excepting yes and no. He makes a missing sound when he tries to talk. He can move parts of his body some, but does it slowly.
 Doctors are of the opinion that he can never talk again should he get well. His heart beats regularly, and he has normal pulse and temperature.

SCHOOLS FOR CRIME.
THERE ARE FAGINS AT WORK IN
 NEW YORK.

Children as Sneak Thieves There Are Said to Be Dozen Organized schoois-Or-
 ganized Campaign Against Them-The
 Sign of the Black Swan.
 The training of children as criminals is an industry which has now attained such formidable proportions in New York that an organized attempt is at last to be made to put an end to it. There are now, according to the inyesti- gations made into the evil by Anthony Comstock, fully dozen such schools in the metropolis All are we'll managed and seem to be conducted in accordance with perfect system. The little ones are taken usually from the rural dis tricts and brought to New York with the ostensible object of finding them honest employment. They are converted into sneak thieves and pickpockets by trainers employed for this special pur- pose. There must be, according to the computations of the Society For the Prevention of Crime, about 1000 boys and girls from 10 to 13 now under this shameful tutelage. AS soon as one of these youthful criminals falls into the hands of the police he is abandoned, and care is taken to see that he is not in position to impart any compromis- ing information. The children are pow erless to escape from their captors. Once they have stolen an article. they cannot dispose of it except through their teachers. They have no place to go. They are encouraged in crime by se- ries of rewards for good ohauls, y and if they are found to possess no aptitude for thieying they are abandoned. Bright pupils who become too we'll known to the police are shipped to Chicago.
 In all cases these children are among the most dangerous of the criminals now infesting the metropolis. They ply their vocation everywhere Their employers are very successful in baffiing police in- vestigation, and change their haunts from time to time for that purpose. The enormous profits from this line of work are a principal source of its growth 1; hence the existence of an elaborate sys- tenn protected by eonfederates i'll touch even with the police. The campaign now begun against the evil seems des- tined to result i'll very sensational dis closures, and the "black swans" (which is the professional metaphor applied to children in training for erime) are hid ing in their pools" to use another technical expression. The man now commanding the black swans was him. self once pupil in the schools.

The Prospective 1e to I Crisis.

Suppose a congress and president pledged to put this cheap dollar scheme in operation once fairly elected. Does it require any great study to see that, from the very day the election result was known, every dollar of our $600,- 900, 900 of gold and gold certificates would instantly go out of circulation and thereby cause the most violent con traction of the currency ever known? Is it not clear that credit, for the time be- ing, would be utterly destroyed, and a financial crisis preeipitated, unparal- leled in this generation and probably in all history?
 From this maelstrom the country would of course, in time, emerge. But it would emerge to do business solely on a silver basis, with millions of inno- cent debtors pressed to the wall long be- fore the new congress could meet to set the scheme on foot; with millions of innocent creditors robbed of large per cent of their honest dues; with every old soldiers pension virtually cut in two and every species of business rela- tion disturbed.

A ssauel.

A sequel is given to the story which came from High Shoals, Ga., of Will liam Haygood, who lost his speech while cursing God and religion. After AS hours of dumbness his speech came back. All day Monday and Tuesday he prayed asking forgiveness. The crowds at the big revival prayed for him.
 At Wednesday nights meeting he suddenly rose from his knees and began to talk. The congregation was amazed. The first words he uttered were pro- fession of religion. Then he said he had been forgiven his great sin. All the community is greatly stirred up over the affair. Haygood says he will devote the rest of his life to preaching the gos- pei. el.-Philadelphia Press

and then to make matters worse, my heao

Praise for the Oyster.

PfalSe 1Of tho OYSTER.
An eminent French scientist has
some very pleasant things to say of the
oyster, and it is an agreeable thought
that the anticipations of enjoyment
with the beginning of the season will
not be married by fears of infection and
disease. NJ. Chatin says that he has
often pointed out the richness of oysters
In bromine, iodine and fiuOrine. In
stead of being, as popular notions have
it, sea scavenger, the oyster is very
careful and refined feeder, and as an
article of food is so rich in ph0sph0r-
us that it is of great value to persons
who are in need of this substance. The
Portuguese oysters are the richest of
all in phosphorus. Each of them con-
tains very nearly one-twelfth of a grain
of phosphorus. Ordinary oysters have
about one-third of this amount. These
mollusks are equally rich in iron, their
brown color being due to diatoms. A
great number of infusoria on which the
oysters feed are filed with these dia
toms, which are so rich in iron that the
ash from burning them is of a deep-red
color. NJ. Gautier remarked that all
sea-food is very rich in phosphorus in
the organic state. Thus cod-liver oil
contains phospho-glyceric acid, besides
its alkaloid. NJ. LIE Roy de Mericourt
stated that he had long time ago in

TENTS at certain dispensaries are suf-

principal victims Of this malady. but
latterly men have been observed as
being affected as much. The chief

An Interesting Experiment.

An Interesting Experiment.
A German publication gives the fol-
lowing directions for performing very
amusing and interesting experiment.:
take lighted stearin candle and hold
it horizontally over wide glass filled
with water. The drops of melted stear-
in, when they strike the surface of the
cold water, will be formed into hemis-
pherical cups and float on the water.
These forms often take the shape of the
flower of the common Maybell (conval-
laria majalis), and can be made smaller
or larger, at pleasure, by dropping the
melted stearin from less or greater
height. When a sufficient number of
such bells have been made, take slen-
der iron wire and cut it into sections,
of which one end is curved, then warm
the straight end of each by holding it
in a flame and thrust it through one of
the wax bells so that the wire passes
quite through the bell, leaving it hang
ing at the curved end, where it remains
fixed when cool, looking strikingly like
the Maybell flower when the wire is
held curved end upward. 1t the same
way all the hemispherical cups are
treated, and finally the single flowers
are combined by twisting together the
wire stems, when they may be arranged
in a vase BY using colored stearin,
similar colored flowers may be initiated.

two-thirds of that distance on water.
Specially constructed roads at least
fifty feet in width would be required,
and the surface must be very level anu
smooth. Curves are an inconvenience,
although il very long and not at an
abrupt, they might be tolerated. THIS
conveyance would certainly be a mover
sight charging along at the rate OF a
hundred miles an hour on land, then
plunging SUDDENLY into the water ana
driving through at speed hitherto un-
known to ocean racers. AS a matter OF
fact, this is not specially new ldea-
Long ago a plan was made for a vehl-
Gle of this sort. It was made somewhat
on the principle of flat-boat, the en-
tire bottom being covered with a series
of paddle-wheels resembling those OF
the ordinary side-wheeler, but smaller,
and running the entire distance OF the
boat from side to side. These wheels
were strong enough to support the
weight Of the car or boat, whatever II
might be called, on the land, having
on the axles wheel-shaped attachments
with tire on which the wheels turned.
These tires were about a foot apart,
and the space between them was filled
in with the fat paddle-shaped sections.
Running along smoothly on the sea-
beach, this unwieldy creature could be
turned SO as to slide into the water,
the same motion propelling it as was
used to drive it over the land.

pleases, and without q break or q crack.
The reason why the glass may be
cut in that way is that the keeping Of
both it and the scissors under the
water. without letting the smallest
part Of either appear above 1t, deadens
the vibrations caused by the cutting.
and there is. consequently. no break or
crack except the cut.
