bnttoned right up to his ears, and the

The stranger stood still, pulled off his
right glove, unbuttoned his overcoat
from chin to waist and drew out his
watch as the piercing wind played
about his unprotected chest. He held
it up to the dim light of the street lamp
and carefully examined the dial plate

The Childs Mansion.

Wootten, the magnificent country
house of the late George W. Childs, is
to be torn down Such is the intention
of its owner, George W. Childs Drexel,
who intends to erect on its site larger
and much more magnificent structure.
This was the favorite residence of the
late philanthropist, and it was there
that he dispensed his superb hospitality
to the salt of the earth. In that house,
it is safe to say, more people Of renown
have been entertained than i'll any other
private residence in the United States.
The house itself is splendid creation
of the architects genius. Allied in style
to the country babitations of the nobili-
" of England, its surroundings of lawn

ore Deposits.

Ingenious theories have from time to
time been advanced by scientists relat-
ing to ore deposits-the cause, time,
manner, etc. and among the most re
cent and able of these Professor lie
Conte may well be ranked His conclu-
sion is that such deposits, using the
term in its widest sense, may take place
from many kinds of waters, but espe-
cially from alkaline solutions, these be
ing the natural solvents of metallic sui
phides, and the latter are usually the
original form Of such deposits. They
may take place from waters at any tenn
perature and pressure, but mainly from
those at high temperature and under
heavy pressure, because, on account Of
their great solvent power, such waters
are heavily freighted with metals, and
the depositlng waters may be moving in
any directiun-that is. may be up COM
ing horizontally moving, or even some-
times down going but mainly up COM
ing, because, by losing heat and pressure
at every step, such waters are sure to
deposit abundantly. Furthermore, Pro
fessor LIE Conte says that deposits may
take place in any kind of waterways,
such as open fissures incipient assures,
joints, cracks and even in porous sand

The great patron saint of the Arme-
MAN Christians is St Gregory, surnam-
ed the illumination, who baptized
King Tividates in 302 A. d. His most
illustrious successors were SITS. Nerses
Sahak and Mesrop, the last named of
whom invented the Armenian alphabet
and translated the Bible into Armenian.
After the general council of Chalcedon
in the year 451 the Armenian church
adopted the monophysite heresy, which
holds that Christ has only one nature.
1t returned 10 the communion of the
Catholic church in 626. But at the lie
ginning of the eighth century it fell in
to heresy again. 1t became orthodox in
1899, but soon reverted to heresy and
has ever since been regarded as sehis-
matte by the Catholic church. 1t is note
worthy, however that the house Of
bishops Of the last Episcopal general cen
yention referred to "the ancient and
faithful church of Armenia. - New

With shy brown eyes She comes again,
With hair a sunny. sllScn skein,
As full of light rs goldcnrad;
Love in her voice love in her nod,
She treuds SO softly no one knows
The time She comes, the time she goes.
The grass Is brown, the leaves begin
Their gold and crimson dyes to win,
Each cricket sings as loud as ten
To drown the noisy locust when
You come, o maid to bid US cry
To summer sweet long goodby
And when you go the leaves are gone;
Tho aster' : farewell scent4s flown
Poor Cupid puts away his wings
And CLOSE to coy corners elngs;
The rude winds usher, with a shout
The winter in, the autumn out.
There's sadness in her shy brown eyes,
Though gay her gown with tawny dyes;
Loves in her voice-but telling most
OF one who's loved, but loved and lost;
She treads 50 softly no one knows
The time she comes, the time she goes.

Barr Saggott, was hers to a certainty.
The commissioner strung her bow
with his own sacred hands. She stepped

nine points.

chilly hush fell over the company, and
Mrs. Beighton took out her handker-

going blind was made much OF by the pas
sengers, and when she arrived in China
her friends insisted on her giving con-
cert. An accompanist was hunted up,
some local talent was engaged, and Miss
Belinfante's singing proved such success
that she was emboldened to give several
more concerts in Yokohama and Shangs
hal. AT this point the chaperone became
smitten with malaria and homeslckness
and had to return to Italy, but Miss Belin-
fante was resolved to continue her tour.
She visited Siberia, and even went little

All will be charged with violating the
new milk ordinance. which says that all
hotel, restaurant or boarding-hous keep
ers, as well as dealers in milk, must obtain
permits from the Board of Health to carry

The ordinance went into effect some
time ago, and the Board of Health de-
cided to give those who came under the
measure ample time to take out their
permits.
Recently notices were sent out to all
those who were delinquent in the matter,
warning them to call at the office of the
board and go through the necessary form,
but those mentioned, as well as many
others, have failed TO comply, and their
arrest will be followed by many more.

mined to combat the ordinance, and will
