perfect harmony prevails between the mis-

Mrs. Barrett expressed the hope that the

The Sale Not interrupted.

All the furniture and fittings of the big
building en- 18th street just above Park
street, known as the Hammond Sanitarium,
were sold at auction yesterday, the sale
attracting a considerable crowd. AS rule,
the various articles went off at low prices.
The routine Of the sale was broken during
the afternoon by an effort that was made
to put stop to the proceedings. A young
man, who was said to represent the Hutch
irson faction in the company, read a legal
from making purchases, on the ground that
the sale was illegal. The auctioneer re-
fused TO recognize his authority in the
matter, as the sale had been properly add
vertised for two weeks, and he claimed that
any protest should have been made before
or an injunction secured. The sale then
went on without a break. until all the con-
tents Of the building had been disposed Of.

A Frecble Spring.

A spring whose waters will remove
freckles has been discovered by a man
named Cook, near Danville, KY,
Cook discovered its mysterious powers
one day by dropping turkey egg
into it. A turkey egg is speckled and
freckled all over. Cook, after drop
ping the egg and fishing it out of the
water. was surprised to find it as white
as snow. This astonished him very
much, and in order to see whether or
not he had been deceived, he selected
another egg, examined 1T closely to
see that it was turkey product, and
dropped it in. 1t, also, was cleared
of all discolorations. This mystified
Cook very much. He went home
thinking about it, and determined to
experiment further with tie magic
waters. The next day he dropped q
souash-streaked and striped and
spotted-into the spring, and it, too,
came out with white and marblized
surface. Then he washed one OF his
hands in it, and found that it re-
novel all freckles and tan therefrom.

The PhOnendOscOpe.

A newly invented instrument, to be
used by physicians and surgeons for
detecting the presence of disease by
sound, and called the phonendosoope,
is thus described by the London Lam
Get: The instrument consists of cir.
cular, fiat metal box or tympanum,
having on its one surface two apertures
for the attachment of rubber ear tubes,
while the other surface is formed by a
thin disc, which is readily thrown into
vibration. The best results are OBJ
tanned by simply applying this disc to
the surface to be examined. By an
ingenious contrivance second disc
can be superimposed upon this one
and vulcanite rod attached to the
former, 80 that the area of ausculta.
tlon may be extremely circumscribed.
The conduction of the sound is only
slightly diminished by the use OF this
rod, which thus combines the princi-
pie of the solid stethoscope with that
of the tympanum. The rod furnished
with the instrument is about two
inches in length, but it is stated that
there are other rods of various lengths,
to enable the t'phonendoscopist" to
receive sound vibrations from the
natural cavities which communicate
with the exterior OF the body. Alto.
gether we consider the instrument
highly ingenious. carefully and com.
pactly constructed, useful as an aid
to auseultatlon, and yet not entirely
to supercede the use OF the stetho.
scope. 1t may also be found useful
in class demonstration in the clinic,
since it may be easy, by means OF
branch tubes. to enable several persons
to listen at the same time.

means advised by an eminent physi.
clan. 1t was q case of debility and
emaciation that nothing could seem
to reach until the physician in ques-
ton prescribed a remedy that he has
found remarkably eficacious in treat
ing weak invalids and delicate chill
dren. This was nothing more than
the eating of an unlimited amount OF
marrow. Every day large quantity
of the bones containing marrow was
ordered from the meat markets. The
only preparation necessary, was to
warm the marrow sufficiently to en-
able it to be easily spread on bread
then with the addition of a little salt
to render it more palatable, it was
ready to do it's work of regeneration.
Under this treatment the person men
toned gained during the first two
weeks ten pounds of flesh and strength
in proportion, and afterward con.
tinued to gain speedily until health
and strength were quite restored.-

A Tree Turned to Iron.
ITO BE CONTINUED.

While William Teas was removing
sand from a sandstone quarry on his
farm near Three Tuns, Montgomery
County, Penn, he came across what
he first thought was a rich vein of iron
ore. The find was ten feet below the
surface, surrounded by sand, and only
few inches above the solid rock.
Further examination disclosed cylin-
drical mass of iron from six to ten IL
ches in diameter and about fifteen
feet long. 1t had the exact outlines of
tree in horizontal position, though
the roots and branches were missing.
Unfortunately, in taking the trunk
from the crumblipg sandstone, it was
broken into many pieces.
Mr.. Teas reported his discovery to
Professor Oscar G. s. Garter, of the
Academy of Natural Sciences, Phila-
delphia, who visited the quarry and
found the mysterious mass was fer
ruginized tree. The rough outside
bark could be clearly distinguished,
and on one piece was observed a knot
which was entirely converted into
iron ore.
One fact that convinced Professor
Carter that the shaft was part of tree
was that some portions had not entire.
ly lost their identity, but showed the
woody texture. They were partially
carbonized, he said, resembling char
coal. In fact, they formed an imper.
feet coal known as Ignite, which is
found in some of the Western States
and there used for fuel The main
mass, however, had become brown
hematite ore.
''The soil and rocks of the Teas
quarry" Professor Carter explained,
fonce contained enough iron to give
them distinct red color. As the rain
water gradually drained through the
soil It finally removed the iron in the
form of carbonate, and the color OF the
sandstone changed from red to light
yellow. New York Herald.

was thought man could be neither g
good sailor nor brave soldier II he did
not drink-but they did not drink, or
even sip, each time they lifted the silver
goblets to their lips. :,
After dinner, the musicians, who had
been playing in the vine-covered porch
outside, struck up q march. and another
procession was formed; and Squire
Condit with Mrs. Hedges on his arm,
led the way to his own house, where
the festivities were to be continued.
Sailors in the service OF the British
Government were always sure. Of well
come In the best society Of the colonies.
Their commissions implied that officer"
and gentleman" were synonymous; and
it can be said that knightly courtesy
ran through the service at this time;
for England had entered on that grand
career for supremacy Of the ocean
which WAS afterwards to leave her for o
time it's undisputed mistress.
The officers Of the Wanderer were
made as welcome by the people OF Sag
Harbor as If, like the Sea Hawk's
crew, they were their own sons and
neighbors.
With the exception Of Captain Fox
and Lieutenant Frenauld, the officers OF
the Wanderer were not, judging from
their awkward and constrained man
ners, much accustomed to ladies so1
ciety, for only the two named could
dance, or at least attempted to do 30.
This, however, only made the non
dancers the more acceptable to such
staid citizens as Squire Condit and
Doctor Hedges, who we're not SO strict
in church matters as not to enjoy game
of whist.
But Captain Fox and Mr.. Frenauld
more than made up for the deficiency in
the others. The former, now that he
was in his magnificent uniform, and
his expressive face and strange blue
eyes beaming and flashing with anima-
tion, was conspicuously fne-looking,
even in the presence Of such men as
Captain Denham and Mr.. Valentine
Dayton. Mr.. Frenauld, though dark,
and with eyes that a physiognomist
would call Sinister" presented good
foil to his light-haired commander,
whom he equaled as brilliant CONVEX
sationalist.

SORROW.

Sorrow came to- you yesterday and
emptied your home. Your first impulse
now is to give up and sit down in despair
amid the wrecks OF your hopes. But you
dare not do it. You are in the line Of battle,
and the crisis is at hand. To falter mo-
ment would be to imperil some holy interest.
Other lives would be harmed by your
pausing. Holy interests would suffer,
should your hands be folded. You must
not linger even to indulge your grief. Sor.
rows are but incidents in life. and must not
interrupt US. We must leave them behind,
while we press on to the things that are be-
FORE Then God has go ordered; too, that in
pressing on in duty we shall find the truest,
richest comfort for ourselves. Sitting down
to brood over our sorrows. the darkness
deepens about US and creeps into our heart,
and our strength changes to weakness. But
If we turn away from the gloom, and take up
the tasks and duties to which God calls us,
the light will come again and We shall grow
stronger.

CHRIST GROWS.

II Christ seems no greater to US now than
when we first became His follower, it is a
bad sign. If He has not grown in our es-
timation,it only shows that We have been liv-
ing at distance from Him and have not
been growing in our knowledge Of Him. A
mountain never seems to grow any higher
to one who never approaches any nearer to
it :; and the heavens never grow in depth,
wonder. or glory to any one who never
studies them or seeks to peer
into them. And 80, if Christ is
no greater in our eyes now than
He was years ago. it only proves
that we have not been living up to our priv
ileges. II the indwelling Christ that was
formed within US at conversion has not
grown into larger Christ. it only shows that
there has been something wrong in US. He
is an increasing Christ. He is growing
Christ And IL He has not been allowed to
develop within u.s. the fault is in US. For it
is His very nature to grow.-J. R. Mitchell:
