Good Story Told by Sturgeon In
Lecture
Trollope presumed that bishops up
on their conservation lost the power to
whistle, says the Speaker. 81 remem-
ber,' says Sturgeon, in his lectures to
his divinity students-most admirable
lectures they are-"I remember hear
ing an aged minister who had succeed
ed on the platform a younger brother
that had broken down utterly in an ex-
temporaneous prayer, open his petition
to the Almighty thus That it might
please Almighty God to make yon
young mans heart as soft as his
head" While Sturgeon himself-in
the same lecture, we think-said that
he had once observed to a friend of a
Methodist minister they had just heard
preach: "Ah, that's the stuff of
which martyrs are made" THAT
stick" exclaimed the friend. Eyes.

humor, close a long, historic list Of
kings, queens and great men who owed
all to fortune with the burlesque in
stance of "him Of old, who, throwing
stone at a dog, hit and killed his
mother-in-law." But our Chrysostom,
Jeremy Taylor, having this passage
from Montaigne obviously in his mind,
applies it ponderously thus: "He that
threw stone at dog and hit his
cruel step-mother said, although he
intended it otherwise, yet the stone was
not quite lost, and, If we fail in the
first design, If We bring it home to
another equally to content us or more
to profit us, then we have put our con-
ditions past the power of chance"

composer, who is madly in love with
Margaret Neville, one of his pupils,
who is the daughter of a rich aristo-
crat. She returns his love and has
promised that, when his grand opera Is
produced, if 1t is successful, she will
take him to her father and ask his
blessing on their union. The opera is
accepted by London impressario and
the heart Of the young musician beats
high with hope. The manuscript, how
ever, is stolen from him by rival,
Godfrey Remington, who produces it
as his own work, and the author-lover
Is chagrlned by seeing his own work
successfully produced and credited to
another. After many complications,
the lawful author of the opera comes
to his own. He reaps' fame and for
tune, and, what he more greatly de-
sires, he becomes possessed of the
heart and hand of the girl he loves. The
play is pronounced success.

FOR BRAIN WORKERS.

Apples supply muscle and nerve food
but do not give stay.
Tomatoes are thinning and stimulat-
ing and the skins should never be
eaten.
Oranges are refreshing and feeding
but are not good if the liver is out OF
order.
Green figs are excellent food. Dried
figs contain nerve and muscle food but
are bad for the liver.
Prunes afford the highest brain OF
nerve food but should be avoided by
sufferers from their livers.
Walnuts give brain and nerve food
but there is heat and waste. Pine kerr
nels serve as a substitute for bread.
All stone fruits are considered in
furious for sufferers from the tryan-
meal liver and should be eaten eau
tiously.
Green water-grapes are Of little food
value but are blood-purifying If the
skin and seeds are not eaten. Blue
grapes are feeding and blood-purlfying
and are too rich for those who suffer
from the liver.

ELECTRIC souMnlNn.


Dinculty OF Cable Laying Largely Over
come by II.
II is said by the engineers who con-
Quoted the laying OF the Amazon river
cable to Manaos that the difficulties OF
their enterprise would have been al
most insuperable II the ordinary meth
DDS of sounding had had to be relied
upon, says Popular Science. There
were no charts to go by, the river bot
tom was constantly shifting and the
softness Of the soil, mostly alluvlal
clay, would allow the lead to sink into
1t for several feet. An electric device,
fifty named a submarine sentinel was
suspended from the cable ship and set
al, say, five fathoms. So long as there
was no signal from the sentinel" the
engineer could steam ahead without
fear, but the moment the ship got into
water shallower than the gauge fixed
upon the sounder gave an alarm and
special reckonings were taken. A
somewhat simpler device, having the
same end in view, has been invented,
the idea being to have 1t used as a
substitute for the hand lead as a vessel
approaches shoal or coast in darkness
or fog, when the captain Is doubtful of
his bearings. The apparatus consists
of metallic cylinder having a water
tight chamber, Within the chamber
works a piston, upon the outer edge Of
which is heavy ball. When the APP
paratus Is swinging clear in the water
the weight of this ball keeps open an
electric circuit, but, as soon as the
sounder touches the bottom the circuit
is closed, and the current, conveyed by
wires running in the cable by which
the sounder is attached to the ship,
rings bell in any department Of the
ship. The cost of the device is quite
moderate and its inventor claims that
ita operation is simple and sure.

Much sympathy is expressed during
the winter months for the motorman or
car conductor, who is exposed to the
weather for many hours at stretch,
and many devices have been suggested
to keep him warm. The latest is a
stove in specially constructed storm
coat.
The outfit consists of two pieces-a
bloomer-like skirt, which hangs from
the waist, and coat. The lower front
OF the skirt contains very small car
bon burning stove, which takes up lit
tie room. The fuel is patented prepa-
ration, that gives heat without smoke,
and is often used in stoves on yachts.
The stove is regulated by means of
draught holes. The fuel is made up
in little round cakes, which cost about
10 CENTS dozen, and one of them will
burn for four hours. The hot air is
circulated through the upper garment,
which is left slightly distended by a
wire spring in the lining.

InherIted Her Gina.

Fannie Bulkeley, portrait Of whom
is presented, is the daughter of Anna
Bulkeley Hills a New York singer Of
note. She inherited musical gifts and
has trained herself for the operatic
stage. In order to gain experience
she last season became member
OF the chorus at the Metropolitan
Opera House, that city. This sea-
son she is playing the role Of Hon
orine Girardin, In Lost, Strayed or
Stolen" and singing the music belong
Ing to the part. Upon her debut in
this play at the Fifth Avenue theater
she at once won the favor of the audi
ence, and received as we'll much IA
vorable newspaper mention. Miss
Bulkeley, who claims to be but six
teen years Of age, is a pleasing sing
er, and also displays considerable
ability as an actress. Her voice Is
light, but will probably gain in power.
Nevertheless, from present indications,
her fame will be won upon the dra-
matte rather than the operate stage.

The Umpire Inspector.

The idea Of the League in preparing
to appoint an inspector of umpires as
assistant in Nick Young is to compel
the umpire to enforce the rules some
thing he has not done for years, during
which the rule against players disput-
ing his decisions has been dead letter.
Next year he will be expected to en-
force that rule though the heavens
fall and the rooters riot. There will
be mentor over the umpires to see
that no responsibility is shirked. This
supervisor Of the staff" as he might
be called, will drop in on a game here
and there and somewhere else and re-
port any laxities in the work of Mr..
Young's staff.

A Gifted Singer.

Susan Strong, the gifted singer, who
has recently gained fresh aurels as
a member Of the New Imperial Opera
company, now at the Academy of Mu-
sic, New York, is an American, whose
home is in Brooklyn, N. Y. Having a
natural fondness for music, and hay
ing been gifted with an excellent voice,
she devoted her energies to vocal
study and practice, with no thought Of
stage career, but solely that she
might add to her accomplishments.
Less than two years ago she went to
reside in London, England, being part
ly impelled to go to that city by the
presence there Of Francis Korbay, her

The practice Of hiding money In the
house for safe keeping is foolish in the
extreme. Almost every week the news
papers relate the misfortunes of men
and women who, having secreted money
in stockings, stovepipes and feather
beds, forget its existence until fire had
destroyed or the ashman appropriated
1t. Far more shocking, however, was
the result a few weeks ago OF the prac-
tice Of penurious Ohio farmer. In the
evening, as the family sat at supper,
two masked men entered. They killed
the farmer with clubs, and cruelty
wounded the wife, who escaped, call
ing for help. Fearing detection, the
robbers fled, leaving the daughter in
spasms. Neighbors searching the
house afterward found concealed a few
thousand dollars. Instead Of the far
mer being alive, blessed with robust
wife and daughter and an interest
bearing capital, his violent death, the
permanent Gripping Of his wife and
the insanity Of his daughter were the
direct results Of his foolish distrust
Of savings banks and investments

Nathaniel Springfield, said to be the
richest colored man in Boston, died at
Portsmouth, Va, on Wednesday night.
His age was 81, as supposed, his birth
place, also uncertain, is thought to be
Smithheld, Va. Facts more interesting
concerning him, however, are better
known. When a boy in Virginia he
was bound out to blacksmith, and
when he came north to Boston, fifty
years ago last October, his trade stood
him In good stead. Years later he went
into the straw business, and by fore
sight and shrewdness made money rap
idly, increased 1t by judiclous invest
ment and for years his name has
stood high among his own people, and
was good on State street for $3.50, 900.

A discovery Of grewsome interest
was made by laborers excayating for
a new street car line in Baltimore. Sew
eral skulls and other portions of hui
man skeletons were uncovered by the
excavator's tools. There were the re-
mains of collins, too, and CHASTITY rem
