A Curious Test For Beer.

At Munich an ancient custom still OBJ
tains of the burgomasters and town ooun-
cilors going annually to Salvador cellar
In order to test Inequality of the beer CON
sumed by the people aas
The test is a very primitive one. ~
The officials attend in their leathern
breaches, and beer having been poured
over the wooden benches the civic digni-
taries plump down upon them. While
there seated they sing an ancient song, the
same that their predecessors have sung
for ages, and in order to subject the beer
to fair test they sit long enough to sing
the song through three times.
Then they essay to rise up. If, now,
they find their brooches sticking to the
benches, the beer is voted good and sound.
Having stood this test, the beer goes
through the formality of being tasted, and
then its sale to the public is duly sane

ADMIRAL slcARD's SHIPS.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt on Hand to
Inspect Manoeuvers.

Fort Monroe, Va, September AS
sistant Secretary Roosevelt arrived here
this morning, accompanied by his naval
aide, Lieut. Sarpe, and boarded the Dol
pin, which arrived yesterday, and sailed
at once to join Admiral Sicard' North
Atlantic squadron IN the southern drill
grounds.
The purpose of the visit of the assistant
secretary of the navy to the squadron ON
the southern drill, is to ascertain by Der
sonal observation just what progress has
been made during the summer season in
the task set Admiral Sicard of getting
together a small, but powerful defensive
fleet, and by close study of the varying
qualities of the ships composing the squa-
dron, bringing them to the point that
they could be used as unit against an
enemy.
The work is one Of great magnitude.
particularly in view of the fact that The
ships are mostly new and their ma
noeuvering qualities not well known.
Admiral Sicard' S squadron is not large
comprising only eight ships, but these
are as fine vessels of their class as can
be found in any navy, and small as The
fleet is, it is felt that it already consti.
tutes most formidable weapon for de-
fence.

Erankincenaa.

Frankinoense is the purest Of all In
cense. 1t is gum resin from an Arabian
terebinth. To obtain this deep incision
is made in the trunk and below it mar
row strip of bark peeled off. When the
emulation has hardened, the incision is
deepened. In about three months ii .
resin has acquired sufficient degree of
consistency. 1t is gathered in large guam
titles and packed in goatskins. 1t was
formerly believed that the trees which
yielded frankincense were infested by
winged serpents and the only way to be
rid Of them and to get at the treasure was
by burning gum styrax, an odoriferous
balsam of aromatic smell Frankincense
was forbidden to be used for embalming,
as it was sacred to sacriflcial purposes.
The Israelites were strictly prohibited
from compromising it.
Now it is used largely In Roman Cath
Ollie and high church ceremonies. The
thurible is swung, the incense burns with
a bright white flame, the choir chants its
hymns Of petition and penitence, and the
song and the perfume rise together.
In the time of St. Sylvester the EN-
peror Constantine made an Offering in the
basilica of St. Marcellinus and ST. Peter
at Rome of hundred pounds weight Of
frankincense.
The best quality Is exported from Africa.
An inferior kind is found on the noun.

PLAIN CASE OF WHEELS.
Murderer Kelly Must Have Been Heading
Faust.

Boston, September "A special to the
Herald from Somersworth, N. H., con-
tains remarkable statement from Joseph
Kelly, who murdered Cashier Joseph A.
Stickney of the Great Falls national bank
on April 10th last. In substance, Kelly
says that his nisdeeds are wholly and
entirely due to compact made with the
devil when he was II years old to serve
his satanic majesty until he reached the
age of 25, and he declares that he expects
and wants to be hanged for the murder
of Cashier Stickney, but he asks that
his execution be delayed until January 6,
1899, and he has told his counsel. Messrs.
Edgerly and Ryan that he expects them
to see to it that there is this delay
The reason he announces for this is that
at mid night, January Is, 1899 the day
he is % years of age, he will be freed
from his compact with the devil. and he
can go to his death feeling assured that
he will not be compelled to settle with
satan in the other world.

BLOOD VESSEL BURST PRoBAR, '
But For Time Portsmouth Thought II u.a
Murder on It's Hands.

Portsmouth, Sep .elnher Mrs. Charles
Benson, widow, 55 years old. living
with her daughter on Court street. was
discovered about o'clock tonight WING
in pool of blood in the back ward of
the homestead.
At first there was tremendous sensa-
ton in the neighborhood, especially
when it was found that spots of blood
fieckeds the walls. of three of the rooms
of the house, but after careful exami-
nation of the body, three physicians gave
it as their opinion that death was due to
the bursting of a blood vessel and not
from any act of violence.
Mrs. Benson's daughter Annie, found
her mother, and gave the alarm, and in
few minutes the street in front of the
house was thronged with people. The
police at once took possession of the house
and the surrounding plot of land, and
under the direction Of Coroner Ryder be-
gan q systematic investigation, not only
of the body, but of the premises.
When discovered the body of Mrs. Ben
son was lying few feet from the back
steps, face downward, while from her
mouth, the stream of blood seemed lust
TO nave stopped.
Back from the body running into the
house was line of the red fluid, and in
side the building the walls were also
spattered Until the physicians arrived,
the police felt that they had another my
sterious as we'll as horrifying murder
case on their hands, and at once set to
work for evidence Of the murderer. With
out making an autopsy all three of the
medical men agreed that the woman
probably came to death through the
bursting of blood vessel in her chest.
This must have occurred when she was
in the house and in her paroxysm fol
breath she seemed to have frantically
thrown herself about the three rooms
with the blood gushing from her mouth
much of which was thrown onto the
walls, until finally staggering out of the
door, she fell on the grass, where her life
ebbed rapidly away
None of the neighbors or even Miss
Benson, who was up stairs at the time,
heard any disturbance.
An autopsy, however, will be held in
the morning and the result will probably
settle the question
Mrs. Benson has lived q very quiet
life. with her daughter, mingling little
in society Her husband died some time
ago.

Rossini,s Trumpeter.

This is story Rossini liked to tell: A
performance of "The Barber" was being
given in my honor in the local theater.
While the overture was In full swing I
noticed a huge trumpet in the orchestra,
manifestly blown with remarkable force
and continuity by member of the band,
but not sound in the least akin to the
tone Of that instrument could hear. AT
the close Of the performance interviewed
the conductor and asked him to explain
the purpose of the noiseless trumpet. He
answered: Maestro, in this town there is
not a living soul who can play the trum
pet. Therefore I specially engaged an
artist to hold one up to his lips, binding
him by an oath not to blow into it, for 1t
looks we'll to have a trumpet in an oper-
ATTIC orchestra. "-Cham bers' Journal.

DORA cusHMAN CASE RECALLED
BY an Unsayory Trial In Bristol, Yer
mont.

Bristol, VT, September 1.-THE Dora
Cushman case was brought into notice
today by a hearing in the case of Herbert
Poland, charged with adultery with Mrs.
Vivian Cushman Barrett of Lincoln, the
latter being a sister of the dead girl. The
hearing began this morning before JUS
tic III. P. Sherwin, and as this case
has been the chief topic of conversation
in this section for some time, the court
room was not large enough to hold the
audience. State Attorney Fish of Yer
gennes prosecuted, and S. @. Shurtleff of
Montpelier appeared for the defense. In
all 10 witnesses were sworn and ex-
amined, but their testimony appeared to
be entirely circumstantial, and referred
principally to calls made by Poland upon
Mrs. Barrett at various times, especially
when Mrs. Barrett was employed by Mrs.
Elmer Parent of Lincoln during the
month of June. Mrs. Eugene Tucker told
about carrying letters from Mrs. Barrett
to Poland.
1t was known that the state had num-
Der of letters which were to figure in this
case, and when an attempt was made to
introduce them the defendants counsel
objected on the ground that as they were
Improperly obtained they should not be
allowed as evidence. State Attorney Fish
told the court that these letters were OBJ
tanned in legitimate manner and that
they formed strong evidence in this case.
The court therefore ordered the room
cleared of spectators and later the letters
were introduced and read.
AS result of the hearing Poland was
held In $500 for the grand jury, in default
of which he was committed to the Mid
dlebury Jail to await the December term
of court. Mr.. Shurtleff is expected to
bring action in chancery to recover the
