story of immense hidden wealth and
claimed that its whereabouts was

claimed to contain the richest ore in
the world. and iD addition the shaft
was filled with precious gems thrown
there by the Jesuits when they We're

These Jesuits, it is claimed. took

DON'T Owe BRANDY.

The moral effect of early acquaintance
with scientific truth is illustrated by little
story which the Rev. DR.. Plumb tells In the
Boston Transcript:
A millionaire brewer, a Senator in another
State, said 10 Mrs. Hunt, II shall vote for
your bill. l have sold out my brewery and
am clean from the whole business. Let me
tell you what occurred at my table. A guest
was taken dangerously i'll at dinner-insens-
lble-and there was n call for brandy to re-.
store him. My little boy Mt once exclaimed.
NO, that is Just what he don't need 1t will
paraiyze the nerves and muscles OF the
blood vessels, so they will not send back the
blood to the heart.
"When the liquor was poured out to give
the man, the lad insisted on pushing It
back.
"'You will kill him; he has too much blood
In his head already.
4" How did You know all thatT his father
afterward asked.
"'Why, it is In my physiology at school, "
1t seems the textbooks. prepared by such
men as Professor Newell Martin, +. II. s., of
Johns Hopkins University, had succeeded In
giving the lad some definite information
which was proving useful.
''Senator," said Mrs. Hunt, 'are you
sorry your boy learned that at school?
MADAM" tho man replied, raising his
hand, 81 would not take five thousand dol
lars for the assurance this gives that my boy
will never be q drunkard."

Sand Baths.

At the reunion recently of Swiss
physicians, held at Ouchy, DR.. Such
ard read paper on the sand bath,
showing that invalids have been com
pletely or partially cured by sand
heated TO a temperature varying, &c
cording to the case, from iorty-fve 20
sixty-five degrees centigrade. The
sand, it appears, containing air be-
tween its particles and being bad
conductor of heat, transmits it in a
gentle and almost insensible manner;
perspiration is favored up to q point
where the patient may lose two quarts
of liquid in one sand bath, and by this
evaporation an invalid may support
continued high temperature without
the actual temperature of the body
rising more than q few degrees; this,
too, without fear of heart affections,
if care be taken to put hot sand on the
feet at the outset. DIR. Suchard states
that the number of ailments that may
be thus treated is considerable, and is
especially beneficial in chronic Theu-
matism and gout; neuralgia and sci
atica are cured or relieved by local or
general baths. The most remarkable
success has attended such treatment
of various organic troubles of the ner-
vous system, also cardiac and digestive
affections, and similarly favorable
statements are made respecting tuber-
culous affections of the bones and
Joints. New York Tribune.

Value of a Musical Ear.

In the management of rapidly NOV
ing machinery a musical ear, which
quickly detects variation of pitch,
and, therefore, of speed-for the pitch
depends on the speeds of consider
able use, says the Chicago Chronicle.
A farmer with good ear can detect
at once if the thrashing machine is i'm
properly "fed," for its speed increases
and the sound it emits Is of higher
pitch than when an insufficient amount
OF gram is supplied, aud in the same
way the electrician eau tell if an cleo
trio motor is running at its due speed.
With a musical ear the physician more
readily interprets the sounds elected
by percussing the chest, and the pot
ter more easily separates the sound
from the unsound.
1t is a moot point whether the musi-
cal are naturally the better readers
and speakers. but there is no doubt
that they improve quickly when
taught elocution, for they can appre'
ciate the pitch of their own voices and
SO correct their errors. A good eaI
includes an acute appreciation OF time
or rhythm.

Predicted His own Death.

Last Tuesday, after the usual days
blowing in his crop, William West,
Jr., who lived in the neighborhood of
Antioch Church, returned to his house
and told his wife that he wanted to
take bath and change his clothing,
as he was going to dc in few min
ntes. Mr. West appeared during the
day to be in his usual health, and, not
having manifested any symptoms of
disease that would give ground for ap.
prehension of so early dissolution,
his wife, of course, was greatly
shocked by the announcement he
made. Preparations tor the bath,
however, were made and Mr.. West was
Ioon appareled in clean white linen.

oy himself when he came to the house
from his work, was corpse within a

A small youth out in Kenwood has
come to think his native State does
not amount to much. Some time last
year his family removed from st.
Joseph, NO., to Chicago, and took up
residence within the fashionable dis
trict of Kenwood. The younger son
of the family is lad about nine years
old, and few days ago the whole
Snbbath-school which this youth at
tends was being questioned by the
Superintendent upon the lesson of the
day. This little fellow has an un-
usually bright and interesting face,
and as his class was seated directly i'll
front Of the Superintendent he was
naturally attracted to him. The les
son was of Moses and how the Red Sea
had separated and permitted him to
lead his hosts through the divided
waters to safety.

finished relating the story he con-

listeners had taken In.
"Who was it, children" he ques-

BIG SLEEVES DEPLoREp.

Most women will deplore the pass
ing of the huge sleeve. 1t has its
drawbacks, but with all its faults wo-
men love it still, and the prophecy
that the tight sleeve will return next
winter is not pleasing to us. The news
from London is that the Princess Of
Wales is wearing extremely small, al
most closely-ftting sleeves; indeed,
she never seemed to favor the great
puffs that won the admiration of Paris
and New York. They say, too, that
the Duke of York SO dIsliked large
sleeves that he asked his wife not to
wear them, and the obedient Duchess
did as she was bid.
One of the new sleeves fits quite
tightly TO the shoulder, although they
have full epaulets. The sleeve that
wrinkles like a CANT de suede is ex-
tremely popular. Over these a small
puff reaches half way 10 the elbow.
The majority OF women, however, still
cling to the more generously proper.

will be the time of rejoicing for the
woman whose plump arms look We IL il

a House With Ideal Ventilation,

"a great point in building your
own house is that you are enabled to
exploit your theories, which remark,
from II man who has just exploited
his in this way, is pertinent.
The house in question is on the
heights above Scranton, Penn, and is
unique from the very foundations.
The lower stories are built from a con.
glomerate stone found only in the an.
thracite region. 1t is not quarried,
but obtained in natural boulders that,
carefully selected and placed, have
made most artistic building. There
is much mica in the composition of the
material, and in the sun the effect is
very brilliant.
The owner of the house has spent
thirteen winters in Florida and, de.
string to escape the cold of North.
ern winter in his own house, has paid
the most careful attention to its heat
ing and ventilatiDg arrangements.
Opening from every bedroom is a
clothes closet, and in every closet is a
window opening to the outer air aud a
heater. Night ventilating is accom-
plished by means of the closets, the
bed in each room being placed so that
the draught does not strike its cccu-
pant. The house is, in fact, one in
which draughts are impossible. 1t is
heated by hot water, and the contrac-
tor took his job with the agreement
that open doors all over the house,
with no draughts anywhere, should
constitute its successful carrying out.
He has achieved his end perfectly. A
great square hall, open to the third
floor. is the favorite gathering place
OF the family, and even in this spa.
clous apartment too much air is never
ielt: may be added that the con.
r Tractors task was peculiarly difficult
one, the owner of the house, who has
bald head, being especially suscept'
ible to moving currents of air.
As most house builders, after taking
possession, are apt to say that il
building again they will have many
things different, it is pleasant to re-
,ord one who has put his theories into
successful practice. New York Times

War Kites Arc Assured.

ant Powell has shown this in a most
conclusive manner. This inventors
air car. or man-lifting kite, is practi-
cally invulnerable.
Kites will always be used in future
warfare for carrying such explosives
as dynamite. For thispurpose a series
of seven kites, built on light bamboo
frames, will be employed, and the ex-
rlosives could be carried to an enor-
nous distance, and then automatically
dropped by pulling a string.
