Far In the north the wandering moon loulhs
down 5s. .s{
Upon frozen sea and frozen land,
a dreary, barren waste, where strange fires
play
Across sunless sky, among the keen,
Clear, glittering stars, and far to southwark

The snowclouds, and the bitter north winds
howl ss s4s$ ~:
Through mountain glens and break the forest

The furious waves tear at the crumbling cliffs
And many prayer is said for those at sea,
And many ship goes down in sight Of shore,
IN dim gray twilights of December days.
And with December days comes that glad feast
We keep to him who brought our life to light

A Bat In . Tomb.

A queer story is told Of naturalist
who died in 1860 and was buried at
sBlankney, in Linco lnshire Among his
pets was large gray bat.
This bat was permitted to enter the
tomb and was sealed up alive with the
corpse Of his dead master. In $3.50 the
vault was opened, and to the surprise
of all the bat was alive and fat.
On four different occasions since the
relatives Of the dead man have looked
after the welfare Of his pet, and each
time it has been reported that the bat
Was still in the land Of the living, al
though occupying quarters with the
dead. It was last seen in 1892 Pear
sons Weekly.

I heard nearly al the Rreat speeches,

years. Ny own observation and sjjudg-
sment gave the superb y to Glad
stone all through, bnt qnite admit
that Disraeli stood up we'll TO his great
opponent and that Il was not always
easy to award the prize Of victory. The
two mems voices were cnriously un-1
like. Disraeh had 9 deep, low, power
3fuls voice. heard every here throughout
the house. but having little variety or
music in it, Glad tone's voice was
tuned to a higher note, was penetrat-
ing, resonant, liquid and full OF an Ak
quisite modul ation and music which
gave new shades of meaning to every
emphasized word The ways of the,
me were in almost every respect cnri
onsly unlike. Gladstone was always
eager for conversation. He loved to talk
to any body about anything. Disraeli,
even among his most intimate friends,
was given to frequent fife Of absolute
and apparently gloomy silence
Gladstone, after his earlier parlia-
mentary days, became almost entirely
Indifferent to dress. Disraeli always
turned ont in the newest fashion, and
down to his latest years went in the
getnp of a young man about town. Not
less different were the characters and
temperaments Of the two men. Glad
stone changed his political opinions
many times during his long parliament
airy career, but he changed his opin-
ions only in Difference to the force Of a
growing conviction and to the recog-
milton Of facts and conditions which
he could no longer conscientiously dis
pute. Nobody probably ever knew what
Mr.. Disraeli' s real opinions were upon
any political question or whether he
had any real opinions at all. Gladstone
began as a Tory and gradually became
changed into Radical. Disraeli began
as an extreme Radical under the pat
ronage of Daniel O. Connell and changed
into Tory. But every body knew that
Gladstone was at first sincere Tory
and at last sincere Radical. Nobody
knew, or, indeed, cared, whether Dis
raeli ever was either a sincere Radical

SIMPLE EXPERIMENTS.

Carbonic Acid Gas Easily Generated From
Vinegar and Baking Powder.
That there is charcoal in baking pow

two bits of knowledge impaired to sew!
eral hundred school girls and boys By
Professor Peter T. Austen in the hall
Of the Brooklyn Polytechnic institute.
This was the second of series Of lee
lures to young people on How to Make
Scientific Experiments at Home. y
Using the simplest kind Of apparatus,
Professor Austen demonstrated how car
bonic acid gas can be generated from a
combination of vinegar and baking
powder, and he showed also how the
burning of a magnesium wire in a jar
of carbonic acid gas brings out the char
coal in baking powder. The children
were intensely interested in the state
ment that whenever they ate bread or
cake made by the use of baking powder
they ate lot Of charcoal, but they took
the lecturers assertion that there was
charcoal in sugar as joke.
"While hot carbonic acid gas is light
er than air, cold carbonic acid gas is
much heavier than air and can be han
died like water,' said Professor Aus
ten. To show the heavy and palpable
quality he generated a lot of it in
large glass jar and proceeded to draw
it out in cupfuls. Lighted candles were
extinguished by pouring the gas upon
them as if it were fluid, and the pro-
fessor showed his alert disciples how to
make carbonic acid gas run through q
cardboard trough. A dozen small cam
dies, Lighted, were placed few inches
apart in long glass channel. From a
pitcher Professor Austen slowly poured
carbonic acid gas into one end by the
glass channel, and as he continued to
pour the invisible fluid the lights went
out, one by one.
The children watched with evident
delight the construction Of a rude pair
Of scales. II shall use only such things
as can be readily picked up around the
house," said the professor. He took q
common strip of board and planted it
upright on his table. Across the top he
placed piece of lath and balanced it
exactly by hanging an empty bandbox
on one end and basin Of shot on the
other: "Now, there is nothing but air
in the bandbox, - he said. "Let me
show you how much heavier carbonio
acid gas is than air." And, suiting the
action to the word, he poured large
pitcherful Of carbonic acid gas into the
bandbox. Immediately the bandbox de-
scended as if filled with bricks.
The children applauded and shouted
in glee, and a few minutes afterward
they were On their way to their homes,
lmbued with determination to raid
the domestic larder for vinegar and bak-
ing powder with which to make car
bonic acid gas.-New York Times. -

The Neurological Centaur and the Proper

The man with a valise and an um-
brella had bought one or two cheap vol
umes Of fiction, when more preten-
tious publication on counter near the
door caught his attention. It contained
q number of elaborate pictures of myth
illogical characters, and he was glanoing
rapidly through it when one Of the
pages attracted his especi al interest. He
fingered over it, turned several leaves
and then went back After he had start
ed away and gone as far as the door
the fascination again proved irresisti-

Curious offerings by Vendors.

A.. BE-
A street vender said that anything
that might be offered could be sold in
the street. Some things sell better than
others, and for some the demand is
more continuous than for others, but
buyers can be found for anything if the
article is brought to their attention. A
knowledge of this fact prompts the
Offering sometimes Of curious things or
things that at first thought seem curl
Gus, that one would not expect to see
offered in this way. But the fact will
be recalled, if one dwells for moment
upon this subject, that there are always
people to be seen standing around look
ing at these novel offerings. Their nov
city attracts some attention, and then
there are more or less people who want
the things.
Here was man, for instance, selling
files, nothing whatever but files, Of
which he had push cart full There
were files Of various sizes and Of all
kinds-fat files, half round, square,
three cornered and rattail-all at the
uniform price of cents each.o six for q
quarter. And there was fair trade do
ing in these files. The many people who
pass in the course of the day along a
busy street have manifold wants. Some
among them want files.
Files cannot be sold steadily by
street vendors, as many other things
are-there is q limit to the quantity
that this market will absorb but there
is some sale for files in the street, as
there is for pretty much everything that
is offered. New York Sun.

PHOTOGRAPHIC MYSTERIES.
The Surprising Images That Sonnet
Show After : Plate = Devoloped.

The Surprising Images That sonaoti
Show After : Plate = Developed.
It's no uncommon experience to ind
upon new plates certain images dor
which there seems no possible explana
tion, their startling and unaccountable
appearance being wron ia mistry, 8 ] !
causing astonishment not unmixed with
Hncanny feeling. a gentleman made
an exposure upon the interior Of g.
friend 3 house. he was doub ulof the
time and proceeded to develop for nm
der exposure. 70 his great surprise the
plate developed quickly, and to his
greater surprise the image was an in
terror quite different: from that upon
which he had exposed. The plate was
from fresh box and could not possibly
have had q previous exposure.
Another instance Of the kind, having.
quite sensational and tragic ending,
is on record. An exposure was made
upon q view having a river in the fore
ground. The photographer, while de-
veloping this peculiar plate, was per
fectly astounded by an appearance
which he had not seen while taking the
photograph. and for which he could in
no way account. On completing the
development there was plainly reveal
ed in the foreground Of the picture the
figure OF woman, apparently floating
upright in the water. Not many weeks
after, to complete the mystery, the body
Of woman was found in the river at
the exact spot where the photograph
had been taken. h
Again, not long since, the daily pa
pers were agitated over the account Of
travelling photographer who, upon
making an exposure upon the exterior
Of repute6 haunted house, discovered
at one of the windows portrait of the
murdered man through whom the
house had gained it's evil name. In an
other case three distinct images, having
no connection one with the other, were
impressed upon a single film. The plate
was exposed upon garden in the even
ing-nothing remarkable being SEEN
but when placed in the developer a
mans hat Of old fashioned shape,
child's dress and dog were distrib-
uted over the image of the garden.
Such mysterious images were more
common in the days Of wet plates than
now. A few years back Professor Bur
ton investigated the matter. Upon trac-
ing back the history Of the glass he
found that it had been used for other
films, and that the images which ap-
peared undoubtedly arose from the re-
mains of previous images. The old
glass was thus proved to be the source
Of the ghosts; it only deepened the sci
entific mystery, while it cleared away
the supernatural. The glass traced by
Burton had been washed for some
weeks, immersed in strong nitric acid,
and every means taken to insure chem
ica1 cleanliness, yet in spite Of all this
enough energy remained latent to form
a developable image upon the new film,
whether by chemical or physical force
remains to be discovered. A complete
solution of the difficulty would prob
ably throw considerable light upon the
nature Of the Photographic images in
general. At least, it seems to indicate
that light is not absolutely essential in
the formation of latent images in q
sensitive finn American journal OF
Photography. I'll.

The supreme court yesterday handed
down two opinions, both affirming the
judgments of the courts below.
In the case of John 7. Snelson, APP
pellant VS.. Fisher S. Harris. admin
istrator of the estate of Elbridge Tufts,
deceased, and Jennie Tufts, the opinion
was written by Chief Justice Zane and
concurred in by Justice Bartch and
District Judge McCarty.
The plaintiff recovered judgment
against the late Elbridge Tufts, which
was unsatisfied, and with view to its
collection the plaintiff filed a cred
itor's bill against Tufts and his wife
to set aside certain deeds made by
Tufts to his wife, conveying to her
certain real and personal property.
The court below found that $3.50 was
due the plaintiff and ordered that Jen
ME Tufts property should be subjected
to its payment, unless she should pay
the amount to plaintiff within 20 days,
and the decree authorized her to pay it
to the plaintiff and declared that such
payment should satisfy the judgment,
and that the conveyance sought to be
set aside should be valid if such pay
ment was made.
1t further appeared that Lizzie Smell
son, the divorced VIE or the plalntlI,
had decree against him for $505; that
an execution issued thereon was in the
hands of the sheriff, and that the sher-
if attached the $3.50 which the defend
ant Tufts was required to pay the
plaintiff and the same was paid to Mrs.
Snelson. The court below held that
that payment satisfied the decree. and
the supreme court upheld that decision.
ARMSTRONG VS.. CACHE VALLEY
LAND COMPANY.
In the case of James c. Armstrong,
receiver of the Citizens bank of Og-
den, appellant, VS.. the Cache Valley
Land and Canal company ct al, the
opinion affirming the judgment of the
lower court was also written by Chief
Justice Zane and concurred in by JUS
tice Bartch and District Court Judge
McCarty.
The plaintiff sued to recover $4,000
on promiSsory note and made Theo-
dore Robson, r. H. Whipple and Corey
Bros. additional defendants, on the
allegation that they had guaranteed
the payment of the note. The alleged
guaranteers pleaded that their guar
antee was without consideration, and
the lower court entered Judgment in
favor of Robson, Whipple and Corey
Bros & Co. and against the princi-
pal defendant, the Cache Valley Land
and Canal company, from which judg-
ment the present appeal was taken by
the plaintiff.

You may never have been, but if
you cross the Atlantic, no matter how
smooth the watery eXpanse, without
seasickness you are-well, a lucky voy-
ager, that is all Old tars, who have
spent their lives on the ocean waves,
who were almost born, so to speak,
with their sea legs on suffer now
and then from sea sickness in very
tempestuous weather. Sea captains,
tourists, commercial travellers and
yachtsmen say that there is no finer
safeguard against nausea than Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, and it has been
equally reliable as a preventive by in
valids who travel by steamboat and
railroad and who sometimes suffer as
much in those conveyances as ocean
travellers do in steamships. Biliousness,
constipation, sick headache and disor
ders of the stomach caused by Oppres-
sive climatic influences or unwhole-
some or unaccrstomed food or water
always yield to the Bitters speedily.

rheumatic, kidney and nervous disor-
ders and the infrmities incident to in

Western Freight Traffic bureau the
agreement already published was adopted
with one exception. That related to the
power given the board of commerce. to

some of the high salaried officials will

All danger of rate decentralization in the
west = result of the dissolution of

This condition has been brought about
by individual action on the part of the

sued to contracting agents and others

DISTRICT COURT.
Glen r. Boutwell, VS. E. S. Snelgrove
ON Trial


The trial of the case of Glen R.. Both
we'll ct al VS. E. S. Snelgrove ct al.
was commenced yesterday before Judge
Cherry and a jury, with Attorney H.
e. Booth representing the plaintiff and
Attorney ]. H. Hurd for the defend
ants.
1t was alleged in the complaint that
on Oct l, 1891, the defendant, E. S.
Snelgrove, entered into a contract with
Irwin & JOY, by which the latter
agreed to erect a dwelling house at
267 East First South street for Smell
grove for the sum of $2,450. Irwin &
Joy assigned the contract to these
plaintiffs and they did the work ac-
cording to contract, they allege, and
also performed extra labor and fur
nished extra material at the request
of the defendants to the amount of
$500. The defendants paid 1880 and
plaintiffs sue TO recover the balance,
$3.50.
The defendants answering alleged
that they paid 81, 1911 on account of
the building: that plaintiff failed to
complete the building in the time speci-
fed by the contract, and that in con-
sequence thereof the defendant was
damaged in the sum of $492.5O. Defend
ants also allege that they were put to
expenses amounting to 500 in defend
nished material and they also deny
any liability for extras. Defendants
thus claim that they have paid S171
more than they owed, and pray for
judgment for that amount.
The hearing was proceeding when
court adjourned until this morning at
10 O'clock
