sESSlE'S GREAT SACRIFICE.
She Felt Sorry for Baby Who Had No
Doll.


The stockings had been hung up and
the little ONES gathered around the
hearth to hear mamma tell the story
OF the Eobe of bethlehem. saws fbe
New York World. Their small faces
expressed profound sympathy when
they heard how the Son of God was
born in stable, how He lay on a bed
OF straw, how lie sbivered in the cool
December night and how His life was
in danger from the wicked Herod. Lit
tie Bessie seemed 10 be particularly i'm
pressed. She said nothing, but one
could see that she was thinking hard.
When, half an hour later, mamma
came to Bessie's bed to kiss her good
night, she found the child pressing her
doll to her bosom and gazing at it with
unutterable affection. AS she stoopod
over the bed Bessie looked up and
asked, earnestly: Mamma, amt Gods
baby got any dolly?"
"No," replied the mother, smiling.
Bessie looked at her doll again and
Rugged it. Then conflicting emotions
showed themselves on the little face.
After a long silence the child raised
her eyes, which had such an expression
as those of the martyrs must have worn
at the stake, and said, firmly: Take
II to Him, mamma"
Closing her eyes tight Bessie laid the
doll in her mothers hands and buried
her face in the pillow TO try to forget
the great sacrifice she had made.

MELTING OLD OIL WELLS.

How the Gnshers of Former Days Are Re-
stored to Their Former VIgor.
7" w. Young, OF Washington, Las in
vented an electrical heater to be lowered
into an oil well. The idea is, says the
Mining and Scientific Press. to generate
electricity in large quantities SO that
the refuse matter which clogs the pores
of the oilstone will be melted and run
out, causing a fresh upward flow of
oil. Tie theory as TO the exhaustion Of
70 many wellsjs that the oil, in passing
upward through the stone, has clogged
the porous stone with paraflin in such
quantities that the further flow is
stopped and the well ceases to produce.
Some think that it is because the sup
ply in the earth has given out, but the
generally accepted idea is that the oil is
still abundant and only ceases to flow
when the exit is stopped. 1t has been
common to use torpedoes to shatter the
stone at the bottom of the well, thus
breaking up the clogged matter, but this
is an expensive process. BY the Young
method the machine, which is about
three feet long and resembles an iron
cartridge, Is placed at the bottom of
the well and electricity used of suffi-
cient voltage TO produce an enormous
heat without melting the metal. The

Decline OF n Health Resort.

The town of Mentone. in the south of
France, has long been a resort for con-
sumptiyes. Latterly, it is reported,
they have failed to derive much benefit
from stay in its borders, and the num-
Der of such visits is greatly reduced.
at is claimed that the soil of the neigh
horhood has become impregnated with
germs, and that instead of giving re-
lief to sufferers it is now the last place
on earth to which they should resort.
II is even stated that the natives Of the
locality, who once presented such n
vigorous and hardy appearance, have
acquired the look of invalids them
selves, and that disease is now req
rant where the best Of health once pre-
vailed. The decline OF Mentone as a
health resort is cited as a conclusive
proof of the germ theory OF disease"

commercial nations of the world. 1t Is
powers agree to any project for the use
of both gold and silver the ratio between
the two metals will be the commercial
ratio.
After hearing Senator Wolcott's re-
port President Nc Kinley is quoted as
expressing the opinion that an inter-
national conference can be held, even if
all that is desired cannot be accomplished
by such a body. If Senator Wolcott
has good ground for his statements to
the president, the latter's conclusion
would seem to be fully justified. Were
President Mckinley to issue an invita-
ton to the governments of the leading
European countries to participate in an
international monetary conference, 1t is
not at all probable that any of their
number would decline the invitation.
They would have nothing to lose by
sending representatives to such a confer
ence and a decllnation under these cir
cumstances would naturally be re-
garded as an act of discourtesy to our
government.
Judging from the statements which
have reached this country from abroad
the possibility that an international con-
ference could reach an agreement for
the international use of silver is at the
present time very remote. 1t is not to
be forgotten, however. that the cause of
bimetallism has made marked progress
In Europe during the past five years,
especially in England, Germany and
France; and the parties favor:ng the use
of both silver and gold have gained con-
siderable strength. A gentleman so
prominent in the British cabinet as Mr..
Balfour, nephew of Premier Salisbury,
has placed himself on record as fayoring
bimetalism, and there is good reason to
hope that others will follow his example
in the near future.
In any event an international confer
ence will tend to attract the attention of
the world to the merits of bimetallism
and to hasten its adoption Burlington
