European Markets

NEW YORK, Aug 2s-The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
The stock markets were firm today but
fairly active for a Saturday. Americans
We're a promising market. Kaf1irs were
firm. A large number of American bills
are still offered and brokers ask two per
cent. The stringency in money here is ar
tifcial in the sense that the Bank of Eng
land is borrowing money from outside sup
plies. There is renewed talk of gold ex-
ports to the United States. 1t is gener-
ally believed that New York will be able
to command gold before long. but if the
money market there remains easy it is not
so sure that New York will take it. 1t is
expected that money will be dearer at the
approaching Paris stock exchange settle
ment.

the current year was 1870 TASKS (915.705

the output of the California mines. These
figures show q large decrease from the cor

the present year is likely to be below the
average of the last four years.

WESTMINSTER ABBEY.
Something About This World Famous Old
English Church.

The architecture of Westminster abb
hey dates back to a remote period, but
long before any part of the present
"glorious pile" was in existence a Sax
on church stood upon the same spot.
Many years before the conquest the
Saxon church was connected with o
monastic body of the Benedictine order,
which gave the name Western monas-
terry, or Westminster, to its place Of
abode, to distinguish it from st. Paul's,
in London, which was known as East
Minister.
Considered architecturally, the first
church here of which we have any au-
thentio history was erected by Edward
the Confessor and consecrated on Holy
Innocents' day, 1865. The greater part
Of the abbey was built 10 Henry III in
the style known as early English. The
west front, with It's grandly beautiful
windows, belongs to the fifteenth GEN.
tury, as does also the completion Of the
nave and the aisles. The extreme length
of Westminster abbey is gil feet, the
width across the transepts is 203 feet
and the width across the aisles 70 feet;
the height of the roof is 102 feet.
The fortunes of the abbey have fol-
lowed and are closely interviewer with
those of the nation, and many, there
fore, are its historical associations.
There the sovereigns of England have
been crowned ever since the conquest.
The coronation stone, brought from
Scotland by Edward /, may still be seen
under the coronation chair used by
Richard II, This chair has ever since
been occupied by English rulers during
the coronation ceremonies.
Within the walls of the abbey the
funerals Of many crowned heads have
taken place, and sovereigns and men,
bers of royal families have graves and
tombs beneath its roof. Oliver Crom-
well never wore crown, but his re-
mains were deposited for time in o
vault beneath Henry Wis chapel with
pomp never surpassed by that of royalty.
The south transept is known to the
world as the "poets' corner" because
there, sleeping their last sleep, are
Chaucer, Spenser, Ben Jonson, Cowley,
Dryden, Beaumont, Addison and Ten
nyson and near by are monuments to
Shakespeare, Milton, Isaac Watts, Gold
smith and johnson.
In the north transept are buried many
renowned statesmen. There lie Pitt,
Wilberforce, Fox, Peel, Canning and
Palmerston. Many eminent divines,
men of letters, generals, admirals and
other persons known to fame are buried
beneath the marble pavement or have
monuments by its pillars or on its his
toric walls. s.-Philadelphia Times.

HOMEMADE ELECTRICITY.
Some Simple Methods by which 1t May
he Generated.

he Generated.
1t has been discovered that If steel
knife and silver fork be inserted in
large orange an electric current will be
generated If the end of the fork and
the end of the knife sticking from the
orange be connected with an electric
measuring instrument, quite percepti-
BILE current will be found to pass. The
same kind of a battery may be made by
substituting cucumber for the orange.
In fact, any acid fruit may be used.
In order to make u voltaic pile it is
only necessary to procure ten or more
pieces of zinc about an inch square, the
same number of pieces of copper and a
like number of pieces of paper The
paper should be thoroughly soaked in
vinegar.
First take u piece of zinc. On it
place piece of vinegar soaked paper,
then put ON piece of copper, then a
piece of paper, then another zinc and
then paper, and so ON until all the
pieces of zinc, copper and paper have
been used. il is important that piece
of zinc should be on one end and piece
of copper on the other. After the pile is
completed again soak the whole slight
ly in vinegar; then clean it off ON the
outside.
If the foreiinger of one hand be held
against one end and the forefinger of
the other hand lie held ON the other end
of the pile, quite a perceptible current
will be felt. If several persons clasp
hands and the persons on each end Of
the line touch the voltaic pile, the cur
rent will flow through the bodies of all
those in position.
The themopilc is another electrical
current producer that may he made i'll

The electric current is generated i'll this
case by heat, and anything from a can
die to a live coal may be used to pro-
duce the heat Take lot Of German
silver and copper wire and cut it into
six inch lengths. Then take a German
silver length and copper length and
twist the ends together. You will have
V shaped arrangement Of wire. Take
another length of German silver wire
and twist one end of it tightly around
the copper end of the V. Continue the
process until you have long succession
of what might be called WIS or double
VS. arranged with alternate pieces of
copper and German silver wire.
Now take two large curtain rings.
Bend your string of wire lengths until it
has assumed the position Of star and

struck with the subtle beauties Of the
song when it was sung for him by
Miss Katherine Huntington, Canton
belle who has aspirations toward the
stage. After that Miss Huntington was
a frequent visitor to the Mckinley
home, and she never left without being
asked to sing louisiana Lou" at least
once. The president learned the air,
too, and added bass chorus.
Not long ago, when the president was
in Canton for the purpose of visiting
his mother, Miss Huntington dropped
in, and he at once suggested that she
should sing Louisiana Lou" again.

Most game birds and animals, be-
cause of a life of ceaseless activity, do
not take on fat, and such should be
larded or cooked with slices of bacon or
salt pork placed ON them. Do not serve

quite generally practiced, the latter
point being a relic of savagery, the for
