Aninventive genius has gotten up
a contrivance that ought to sell like
hot cakes in church circles. 1t is in
the shape of triumph in it's way.
The coin falls through slots of differ
ent sizes, and dollars, halves, quar-
ters and dimes drop on velvet, but
the nickles and pennies drop on a
Chinese gong and make a noise that
can be heard all over the church.

The year 1895 will be remarkable
one both from the astronomical and
religious point of view. On Good
Friday next (April 12) the heavenly
bodies which gravitate around the

will be the first time such thing oc-
CURED since that great day, just 1852

In the retirement of the old board
of waterworks trustees Mayor Meeki-
son, on behalf of the citizens of Ma
poleon, thanked them for the efficient
manner in which they had conducted
the duties of their office during the
building of the waterworks and the
electric light plant. The trustees
have been untiring in their efforts to
give Napoleon one of the finest com
bination plants in the state, and they
succeeded most admirably. They
richly deserved the thanks from the
Mayor, as their official duties have
been burdensome and their pay small,
and the only way to recompense
them is with thanks.

Machine Made Art.

SIS it conceivable that embroidery
done on a sewing machine can be a
work Of art?' correspondent asks. 1t is
conceivable, but highly improbable. A
person Of genius might give expression
to his art through any medium, how
ever unpromising, but it is difficult to
imagine any one of ordinary artistic in
tellgence, still less of genius, making
the attempt on a sewing machine.
A worker Gil a sewing machine may
impart to the object he is engaged upon
something CT the artistic qualities of
good design and good color, but that
personal factor which distinguishes all
handicraft viii, in all probability, be
missing, and without it there can be no
such thing as work Of art. Mere perfec-
ton of execution will not save it.
An old fashioned sampler, - indicat-
ing the bent of 3 child's imagination,
however halting the execution, might
more justly DO considered work of ar;
than the most highly finished repro
duction of painting wrought on a
sewing machine-suoh as l saw recently
commended as something to be admired.

A Terrible Cholera Tragedy.

At Askabad, Turkestan, the cholera
had almost disappeared, and the event
was celebrated with much rejoicing on
the anniversary Of the emperor's name
day. The governor gave dinner, TO
which he invited a numerous company,
and the various regiments were granted
extra rations that they might rejoice on
the occasion.
The dag, which began so auspiciously
amid general rejoicing, was destined to
have an ending without parallel in
history.
OF the numerous guests who attended
the dinner one-half died within "a
hours 4 military band Of about so men
who played during that fatal dinner
lost 10 of their number with cholera,
and only 10 of the men reached camp
that night. One regiment lost half of
its men and nine officers ere the sun
rose the following morning, and within
As hours ], 300 people died with cholera.
The cause of the outbreak was clear
ly traced to a small stream of water
which supplied the town. Four days
previously the authorities were informed
that cholera had broken out at small
Turkoman village situated on the banks
of this stream about four miles above
Askabad. The inhabitants of this vii.
lage were ordered to move their tents
several miles back on the hills, which
they did.
On the day before the temperance
of the cholera at Askabad very heavy
rainstorm occurred, which washed the
banks Of the river and swept refuse and
other matter from the abandoned village
into the stream, and this matter was
carried by the water into the city and
distributed to al parts of the town by
the numerous OPEN canals through
which the inhabitants were supplied
with water. II was this contaminated
water which caGsed the temperance of
the epidemic and the frightfal mortality
which followed. Sanitary Era.

A Queer Florida Sink Hole.

fernando county abounds in the
beautiful and curious in nature. One of
the most attractive curiosities is the
DEVILS Punch Bowl. Why punch
bowl or why the peculiar property of
his satanic majesty, or why there should
be so called pulpit i'll it tradition has
forgotten to keep a record All that one
knows is that it is called the DEVILS
Punch Bowl.
A drive of little over three miles
over hard roads, q turn into the dense
primeval forest, and suddenly on top Of
a grand elevation, surrounded by
magnificent hammock timber, the Punch
Bowl is at your feet.
There are several ways to reach the
bottom of the bowl. The most expedi-
tious is to let loose and roll down, but
that is rather undignified. Once down
its depths, its size is forcibly impressed
on the mind, for what you took to be sap
lings and stones develop into magnolia
and wahoo tees measuring 5 and feet
in circumference, and the stones that
looked so handy from the brink become
powders of very respectable SIZE 1t is
hard to estimate the area of the bowl,
but between one and two acres will
probably approximate its size at the top,
while the bottom is about one-fourth of
this size and is from 60 to 10 feet be-
low, the topmost boughs of the trees
barely reaching the level Of the sur.
rounding ground. Its steep sides are
draped with beautiful ferns, moses and
vines and dotted all over with violets,
modestly hiding away with the delicate
maidenhair fern under the protecting
leaves of the palmettos and vines.
Looking up the sides of the steep slope
the picture left on the mind is one of
surprising beauty, and it is hard for the
stranger to realize that the scene is in
Florida. -Brocksville News Register.

eoRpoisE I'M CAPTIVITY.
Apparently contented in tho Locks a,

Apparently Contentcd In tho Locks at
Ilarvcy's Canal, liz.
The locks of Harvey's canal. while
originally intended FOR the acconino.
dation OF vessels OF various kinds and
dimensions, but failed to operate for
some reason or other, were permitted
to fall into disuse, SAYS New Orleans
paper, As a consequence of this 1t was
considered necessary to construct a
dam across the head of the canal and
also below the inner gate. The basin
formed by the two dams gradually
filled with rain water, forming pool
about $50 feet in length, so feet wide
and possessing depth of about 15 feet
In the course of time this basin became
filled with small fish, and, as it now
turns out, this provision of nature will
serve to prolong the life of very re-
markable inhabitant of the lock basin.
The capture of porpoise in itself Is
very unusual occurrence, but when
you couple to this capture the fact that
1t was kept alive for period of ten
hours, the occurrence becomes of more
than ordinary interest. Yet this was
the case in regard to the requirement
of porpoise Wednesday by Captain H.
A. Harvey Of the steamer Louise Har
vey; which vessel plies between the
head OF Harvey's canal, on the other
side of the river, and the Gulf waters
in the neighborhood Of Barataria bay,
engaged in transporting fish and oysters
to this city. The fishermen employed
by Captain Harvey on the day men
toned We're hauling the seine in the
shallow waters of the bay, when there
was an unusual splashing and disturb
ance in the bag Of the net Upon the
haul being completed it was found that
a monster porpoise had permitted him
self to become entangled in the seine,
and being unable to get away was after
considerable difficulty landed safe on
the deck of the steamer. Remember
ing the condition of things relative to
the lock of the canal, as noted above,
Captain Harvey conceived the plan of
transporting the fish to this location
and dumping it into the basin, to be
retained as a curiosity for the people
OF the city. The norpoise, which was
eight feet long and weighed 500 pounds,
was not injured in the struggle which
took place upen reaching the side Of
the steamer, and being secured so it
could not plunge about the deck, was
covered with sacks and kept well wet
ted during the journey to the lock. This
location was reached neatly ten hours
later. At this time the fish appeared
rather weakened by its long absence
from the water and did not give any
violent signs Of life when thrown into
the fresh water of the basin. Some ten
minutes later, however, 1t began to
swim slowly about the lock, and after
an hours duration it seemed to have
regained its usual yigor and appeared
to enjoy the novelty of being sole occu-
pant OF any size in its new domicile.
