ITS LABORS ARE FINISHED.
SACRAMENTO PREsBYTERY
ADJOURNED YESTERDAY.
It Decided to Hold It's Next Session
at Carson City, in
Nevada.

The Sacramento Presbytery closed IT'S
meeting yesterday, shortly before noon,
the first half hour being spent in de-
votional exercises, led by Rev. J. ,.
Gillespie.
The Presbytery concurred in the re-
port made by the Committee on the
Record of the Carson City Church
The account given by Rev. NJ. ,.
Riddle of his Sunday school missionary
work in Nevada was interesting. He
had a district 500 miles long by 800
miles wide, he said, subject to great
extremes of weather, there being much
snow III the winter and the thermome-
ter falling at times to 90 degrees be-
low zero.
He also said that he believed that i.
Thayer Ingle, who is pastor OF the
church at Eureka was not duly ac-
credited minister. The credentials he
brought to Eureka were typewriter,
and had the signatures typewriter
also. The Presbyterians at that place
had taken him and were giving him
considerable support.
Another minister said he had heard
of lngle in Oregon, and did not think
! it was we'll to continue him in the pas
torare at Eureka.
The matter was referred to the Com
mittee on Home Missions.
Rev. j. w. Snowden of the San Jose
Presbytery was given permission to
pursue his work in the Sacramento
Presbytery
Invitations were received from Car
son City, Elko and Elk Grove for the
Presbytery to hold its next session
there, and after debating the relative
merits of the various places the Pres
bytery decided unanimously to hold it
at Carson City.
Rev. E. Eccliston and Elder S. Cad
wallader. who had been appointed a
committee on a vote of thanks during
the morning, reported the following
resolution, which was adopted unani-
mously:
The Presbytery of Sacramento can
not happily conclude its session with
the Fourteenth-street Presbyterian
Church, without expressing it's heart
felt thanks for the hospitality, kind
ness and welcome that has been ac-
corded it. They feel especially like
mentioning the careful arrangements
that have been made by the pastor and
Committee of Arrangements for cur
comfort and the opportunity for the
dispatch Of business. Our hearts go
out in gratitude to the several Chris
tan homes in which we have been en-
tertained.
I'VE will take our departure praying
Gods richest blessings upon this
church, its worthy pastor and his CO.
workers, and these homes; also, to the
Westminster Presbyterian Church for
use of its church building and other
kindness on last Wednesday evening" +"
The meeting then adjourned.

The Magnet in Surgery.

A young laundress thrust broken
needle into her right hand while wash
ing clothes. The needle having dis
appeared in the flesh, the surgeon, who
was consulted several days after the
accident, refused to perform an oper-
alton, fearing lest he should be obliged
to make a large number of incisions
amid the ligaments of the articulation.
Two months afterward the girl lost the
use of her right hand, and the least
movement of the fingers caused her
exquisite pain. Drs. Gorinewsh and
Cerestin then determined to extract the
needle with the aid of magnet, draw
ing it into the fleshy region where an
inciSion could be made without danger.
To cause this movement they chose a
very feeble electromagnetic. But diff
ficulty arose; the needle having entered
point first it would have to be drawn
out backward, the broken part in adj
vance The first trial lasted two hours
with short intervals for rest, without
appreciable result Before the trial
the girl said she felt a pricking
in the palm of the hand near the place
where the magnet had been applied
and where the needle ought to appear
At the ninth sitting, finally, the needle
appeared beneath the skin and came
out whole, broken end first, without
pain and without loss of blood. 1t fixed
itself to the pole of the electromagnetic
and the young laundress was cured
This result-the drawing of a needle
through the fiesh--is very remarkable.
In twenty-four hours after the first
trial this needle was extracted from
the inside of the hand after lying there
more than two months-Cosmos.

of bearing fifteen times the strain that
is ever likely to be put upon it. Looked
at from a distance the cars as they
start and gather way swiftly seem TO be
going with a rush that nothing can con-
troll, but a touch of the brake reduces
speed at once, and they wind gently
round the lengthening volutes at rate
that seldom exceeds fifteen miles an
hour, taking Just one minute to cover
the quarter of a mile from top TO bot
tom, and giving the passengers fuli OPP
portunity to enjoy the beautlIui paho-
rama of sea and land that seems TO
revolve round them.

yersation called her a vile name. She
asked him to go on and let her alone,
and just then Henley jumped out and
pushed Scott. Scott talked loud, and
she thought Henley heard what he
said. He told Scott TO move oil, and the
third time he showed him Scott fell on
his head. She could hear the crash.
She thought Scott stumbled over the
grating. Henley did not strike him,
and had nothing in his hand. Lille

Woes of a Court Physician.

Being physician to an Asiatic ruler
carries good salary with it, but Il
has its disadvantages. News comes
from Persia Of the death Of Sir Joseph
Iholozon, physician to the Shah. For
thirty years Sir Joseph was the physi-
clan and trusted confident of the Shah
Nasr-ed-Din. When that ruler died
and his son, the present Shah, ascend
ed the throne, Sir Joseph wrote to a
friend in Paris saying that he was go.
ing to resign his post, as he was afraid
Of his life.
1t would appear that his fears were
only too we'll founded. Sir Joseph
was acquainted with many of the
secrets of the court, and his death was
desired on that account by the new
Shah. His predecessor at the Persian
court is said to have been done away
with for the same reasons.

Food and Poison Combined.

One Of the most deadly poisons and
a common article Of food are combined
in single plant. This is tapioca, a
South American shrub that grows to q
height Of six or eight feet. The root,
as we'll as the wood, Of the plant Sc
cretes an acrid milky juice so toxic
that it kills in very few minutes.
This quality is eliminated by heat, and
that which in raw state is so deadly
is thereby converted into nourishing
and agreeable aliment. The root is
grated into pulp and subjected to
great pressure, which extracts all the
poisonous juice. It is then heated on
metal plates, which transforms it into
the tapioca of commerce. It is to be
hoped that this information may not
disturb the equani,nity of consumers
of tapioca. The process employed in
its conversion from poisonous plant
into a substance entirely innocuous is
absolutely infallible.

"A Magnetic Island.

The stories of magnetic mountains
that exert an attraction that cannot be
wlthstood on all vessels that come into
their vicinity have some foundation in
reality, and that, too, in the neighbor-
hood OF Germany. The we'll known
island of Bornholm. situated in the
Baltic, and belonging to Denmark.
may be regarded as a huge magnet.
Although the power of this magnet is
not so great that it can draw the nails
out of ships, as was told of the island
IN the "Arabian Nights" the magnet
ism OF the rocks on the island of Born
holm can cause good deal of trouble
to ships in quite another way. It ex.
erts such an influence on the magnetic
needle that it can cause a vessel to
turn perceptibly aside from her course.
This is quite possible, as the effect of
this magnetic island is perceptible at

How Fashions Are Born

dering whether anything is really So.

ing holocaust of the charity bazaar in
Paris is having perceptible influence

vogue Of black and white. Persons
who have lost no relative or intimate
friend by the accident nevertheless
adopt this fashion, young men wear.
