Stentor.

In the Grecian army it was usual
to have three men in each battalion
to communicate the commands of the
officers to the men. OF these, one
carried a standard and another a
trumpet. But in the confusion and
din of battle, when neither signal
could be seen nor trumpet heard,
the third man (who for this purpose
was the strongest in the army COM
municated the commands by word of
mouth. Homer relates of one OF
these men, Stentor. by name, that he
shouted as loud as fifty other men.
Hence a man with powerful voice
is said to possess the voice of stentor,
or a StentOrian voice.

soMERv1LLE, N. j.. Aug. 27.-Robert L. Day,
n druggist OF this place, received by express to-
day a little, old fashioned trunk, securely locked
and bound with time.worn rope. which had

acre farm which is now n part Of South Orange.
The homestead stood where Seton Hall College
now ia. When Mr.. Day was a boy his parents
decided to send him to a boarding school In New
York State. His mother, who was III, did not
expect to SEQ her son complete his education,
and she carefully prepared a trunkful OF useful
articles. calculated to last hin for many years.
Mrs. Day died before her son started for school.
and tho trunk which che had prepared for him
was overlooked.
Mrs. Augustus Baldwin Of South Orange. who
is an aunt Of Mr.. Day. recently inspected an old
house near the site OF the Day homestead. There
she found the lost trunk in an unused room.
The trunk was opened to-day. The linens woro
fresh and white and each piece has Mr.. Days
name delicately embroidered upon it under his
mothers initials. The trunk also contained q
collection of silver and copper coins. some Of
which bore dates In 1000 and 1900. There wero
several gift books and many other little tokens,
such as a mother would provide for a son going
away to school. Mr.. Day now has children who
are much older than he was at tho time his
mother prepared the keepsakes OF which he has
remained in ignorance for 30 many years.

valued at about Sl5. DOC. and which he wanted
To realize upon SO as to obtain sufficient money
to work the mine. He didn't mind letting one
or two gentlemen into the deal.
The manager thought he had a good chance to
make some money there, and, remembering the
expert, sent for him. Some OF the gold out Of
the centre OF the brick was taken and assayed.
and found TO come up To expectations. Mr..
MCGregOr then bought the brick for n good
round sum, said TO be $4,000, and as soon as
the money was paid the miner and his accom-
plice escaped. Shortly afterward II was found
that there was very little gold In the brick, the
remainder being brass alloy. Mr.. McGregor
