Rev. Charles NJ. Bowen is the Oldest
Methodist minister in Chicago, if not in
the state. Mr.. Bowen is widely known
among Methodist brethren everywhere
by the sobriequet of "Hallelujah" or
Amen Bowen, the origin of these
Games being his perfervid calculations
during prayer. Mr.. Bowen is upward
OF 80 years of age, and Notwithstanding
the fact that he has had his ribs
broken and is both blind and deaf, he
retains all the earnest and honest en-
thusiasm that characterized his long
career in the pulpit. On the platform
or in the street he is a conspicuous fig
ure, as his snow white hair falls in a
mass of curls and ripples around his
wrinkled face. He is over feet tall.
and in spite Of his advanced age the
huge frame is scarcely bent. Last sum-

Death Valley.
The deadliest occupation foe men or
horses is teaming in the boraN fields oil
Death Valley OF the great American
desert. There the longest teams In
the world are employed. Scientists
] declare that the fierce heat in this
narrow rent in the cracked surface OF
the earth is not equaled elsewhere in
/ the world. Where the thermometer
often registers 40 degrees OF heat, un-
relieved by even breath OF air; where
men sleep at night in hollow bitches
filled with water In order TO avoid dy-
ing from collapse, the necessity for
the longest teams of mules and horses
ever harnessed to draw the great bo-
rax-laden wagons is apparent. The des-
ert team is the longest in the world,
and the percentage OF deaths among the
horses Is greater than that of domestic
animals used i'm any other calling. For
~ TO sixty horses are often hitched to
one of the numbering vehicles in which
the borax is slowly dragged across the
sun baked alkali plains. The average
life of even the sturdiest horses used
in this work is six months, for in his
length OF time they either become
broken winded. consumptive from in
haling the deadly dust of the desert
or are driven crazy by the frightful
heat A man there. though protected
by the wagon awnings from the suns
rays, can not go an hour without wat
or without danger of death. When
team breaks down and the water sup
ply becomes depleted. the men ride at
top speed for the nearest source OF
supply. and often when they return
they find that the remaining horses
made mad by thirst, have broken from
the harness and dashed Off, only TO
find death in the desert. The borax
wagons weigh 5000 pounds, and carry
10000 pounds at a load. Behind each
wagon is tank containing hundreds
OF gallons OF water The horses are
harnessed in pairs. the trained ones
in the lead, and the next in intelligence
Just ahead of the tongue, while the un-
ruiy and the youngsters arc hitched be-
tween. The nigh leader has a bride
with the strap from the left jaw shorter
than the other, and from the bride
runs a braided rope which the driver.
Derched on the wagon seat, holds in his
right hand. The rope is called the
Jerk line, and is little longer than

hundred feet in front OF the wagon.

A Relief for Persons suffering From
Insomnia.
In Florida and other parts Of Amer
lea. where the heat at night is almost
as unbearnble as in the day. it is not
unusual TO ice the beds before retiring
to rest. This is done in a very simple
way. A vessel Of metal, or pot. much
in the form of the ancient warming
pan used by our grandfathers, is filed
with broken ice. and after standing
until the ice has completely cooled the
vessel. il is placed between the sheets
and moved to and fro over the surface
OF the sheets and pillows, until they
are quite cold. The coclness OF the
bed clothes is very soothing TO The
heated and wearied body, and invarla-
bly, induces immediate sleep. Ice can
now be obtained almost anywhere. and
the wonder is that It's use for the mr.
pose here indicated has not been gen.
orally adopted in this country. Not
only are ice-cooled beds found 10 be

Artists will read with interest some
letters from Thomas Gainsborough, the
painter, to the earl OF Dartmouth in
iI71, which are included in the latest
volume issued by the historical manu-
scripts commission. A difference of
opinion had arisen between his
lordship and Gainsborough as TO the
likeness of the countess of Dartmouth
painted by the latter. In the course of
the correspondence. which is thorough
ly good humored and studiously polite,
the artist expresses his readiness TO
make any alterations his lordship
might require and a discussion takes
place concerning the costume in which
the countess could be portrayed to
greatest adyantage-whether fancy or
actual. Gainsborough speaks of 1.-The
ridiculous use of fancy dresses in 2or-

HOW COFFEE WAS DISCOVERED
A Traveller Ia AhysSinia stumbled Upon
the shrub.

a Traveller In Ahysslnia stumbled Upon
the shrub.
The following is given as the original
discovery OF coffee: Near the middle
| OF the fifteenth century a poor Arab
was travelling through Abyssinia, and,
finding himself weary and weak from
fatigue he stopped near grove. Then
being in want of fuel to cook his rice,
he cut down tree which happened to
be covered with dead berries. His
meal being cooked and eaten, the trav-
eller discovered that the half-burned
berries were very fragrant. He coll
lected number of these, and, on
crushing them with stone, he found
that their aroma increased to a great
extent. While wondering at this, ne
accidentally let fall the substance in
can which contained his scanty sup
ply of water. Lo. what a miracle!
The almost putrid water was almost
instantly purified. He brought it to
mis- lips. 1t was fresh. agreeable, and
in moment the traveller had so far
recovered his strength and energy as
to be able to resume his journey. The
lucky Arab gathered as many berries
as he could and, having arrived az
Alden, in Arabia, he informed the musti
OF his discovery. That worthy divine
was an inveterate opium smoker. who
had been suffering for years from the
influence of that poisonous drug. He
tried an infusion of the roasted berries.
and was so delighted at the recovery of
his own vigor that, in gratitude to the
tree, ne called it oahuah, which in
Arabia signifies force.
