His Flute Now His stan.

s. G. Skinner is an old soldier living
in West Brighton. who carries as staff
to assist him in walking an old flute that

cal demonstrations in Rochester he came
to the city accompanied by a little
grandson He brought his old wooden
flute, now q walking stick, with him, as
he goes nowhere unaccompanied by his
old friend, which has long since lost It's
beautiful voice. In the year 1861 Mr..
Skinner enlisted in the army, and I'M
mediately went to the front, taking
with him his wooden flute. He enlisted
as a musician and was soon playing the
national airs at the front of marching
regiment, while shot and shell fell fast
and thick around him. lie was sent TO
Company /, Ninety-eighth regiment,
New York volunteers, commanded by
Justice Adams of the appellate court,
with Captain Vain in command of the
company.
Mr.. Skinner was captured and was In
| Libby prison two months. While there
he gained the good graces of the jail au-
thorities TO such an extent that he was
taken to see President Jefferson Davis.
This was something, Mr.. Skinner said,
that he never knew of any Of the other
prisoners being allowed to do.
After being in the war over three
years he was discharged while on pro
vost duty in this city. He says his flute
did him good service while i'll the war
and is yet helping him on through life'
journey, although in much different
way. While prisoner in Libby, Mr.
Skinner said that he lost one pound

Black Men In Persia.

Old inscriptions and carvings have
shown that there existed in ancient Per-
STA members of a race of black skinned
men who possessed features resembling
those of Africans. The origin of these
people, as we'll as their apparent disap-
pearance in modern times, has furnish
ed puzzling questions for ethnologists.
Some have supposed that in prehistoric
times the greater part of southern Asia
was occupied by primitive black race,
of which only vestiges remained when
the empires of Babylonia and Assyrla
arose. Lately descendants OF the black
men who figured in the early history OF
Persia are believed to have been found
by the Russian explorer Dr. Daniiof,
dwelling among the mountains near
Shiraz, east of the Persian gulf. These
people, although they still form an in
dependent group, mingle with the sur
rounding population. as ID ancient
times, and find employment at long dis
tances from their homes. Some OF them
are to be seen in the city of Teheran. -

that it will be trimmed Not just skirt

ToPIc.-S Spiritual power-whence it comes
and how to get it.-Phil. iv, 4l3
Spiritual power is power from God.
1t comes from the Holy Ghost. The dis
ciples were told that they should receive
power after the Holy Ghost had come
upon them, and when the Holy Ghost
descended at Pentecost they received
power, spiritual power. The one thing
that is needed above all others in our
church life today is the power OF the
Spirit. There is too much OF tendency
to depend upon human means and hu-
man agencies, societies, bands and or
CARNATIONS. Gods work cannot be done
by these alone. The Spirit works through
them, and it is only when He does that
the best results are accomplished. Spir-
itual work needs spiritual power. Not
by night nor by power, but by My Spirit,
sayeth the Lord" paul may plant
Apollos water, but God giveth the in
crease" After all the blessing, If 1T
comes, must come from God. Spiritual
things are not only spiritually discerned,
but also spiritually accomplished. God S
work must be done by Gods power.
Spiritual power comes from God.
How may we get it? 1t is a matter of
satisfaction that it does come from God
because we are assured that we may
get it. God withholds not any good
thing from them that love Him. Above
everything else He is willing to give Us
power through the Holy Ghost.
/. We may get spiritual power by
PRAYER. 1t comes from God. We get
things from God by asking Him foi
them. "Ask and We shall receive" is the
command and promise. And how will

ask-more willing, Jesus says, thar
earthly parents are to give good gifts t(
their children. If we really want spirit

1t is not always an easy matter TO dis

making patties or pies of any kind.
In olden times there was variety of
nice little cakes made of small pieces Of
fine pastry and garnished with jelly,
jams or sweetened creams whipped to
stiff froth and favored. The well known
"wells of Cupid" as they were known
in those sentimental days, were nothing
more than tiny fat cakes of pastry with
a raised ring of pastry laid on them, the
cavity in the center being filled with
jelly or jam of some bright color.
These wells" are sometimes made
of cold boiled plum pudding, garnished
with a creamy hard brandy sauce, and
they are then served at the holiday sea-

A DEADLY OCCUPATION.
bringing Out Borax From the Riffs In
Death Valley.

bringing OuU DoFaN y rom the Mus III
Death Valley.
The deadliest occupation for men or
horses is teaming in the borax fields of
Death valley of the great American des-
ert There the longest teams in the
world are employed Scientists declare
that the fierce heat in this narrow rent
in the cracked surface of the earth is
not cqualed elsewhere in the world.
Where the thermometer often registers
40 degrees of heat unrelieved by even
a breath Of air, where men sleep at
night in hollow bitches filed with wa
ter in order to avoid dying from col
lapse, the necessity for the longest
teams Of mules and horses ever harness
ed TO draw the great borax laden wag-
ons is apparent.
The desert team is the longest in the
world, and the percentage Of deaths
among the horses is greater than that
of domestic animals used IN any other
calling. Forty to 60 horses are often
hitched to ono Of the numbering vehi-
! cles in which the boraX is slowly drag
I ged across the sun baked alkali plains.
! The average life Of even the sturdiest
horses used in this work is six months,
for in this length of time they either be-
| come broken winded consumptlve from
inhaling the deadly dust OF the desert
or are driven crazy by the frightful heat
A man there, though protected by the
| wagon awnings from the suns rays,
cannot go an hour without water with
ont danger Of death. When team
breaks down and the water supply be-
comes depleted, the men ride on at TOP
| sneed for the nearest source OF supply,
and often when they return they find
that the remaining horses, made mad
by thirst, have broken from the harness
aud dashed off only to find death III the
desert.
The borax wagons weigh 5000
pounds and carry 20, pounds at
load Behind each wagon is tank con
} tanning hundreds Of gallons OF water

For the Happiness of Others.

Wealth being the gift of God, it must
not be used contrary to the wishes OF
the Benefactor. 1t is proper that fit
ting token of gratitude be made to Him
and that His example of well doing I'M
to others be emulated by those who have
themselves benefited by the exercise OF
this attribute. Hence proceeds an en-
tirely different understanding OF the
uses of wealth. 1t is laden with re-
sponsibility. 1t demands unselfishness
in its administration and requires that
it be used not recklessly. not tyrannlcal-
", but for the happiness of all.-Jewish

Ia the sun Turning UP?

Thousands of curious and ingenious
theories have been advanced to account
for the effect that the sun, although he
has whirled his burning disk across the
heavens for untold ages, continues to
burn without being consumed or his
bulk being lessened III the least. Some
of our most learned astronomers believe,
or pretend to believe, that the great orb
is "a ball Of gas, but even great glope
of gas would be consumed to its utmost
atom in the course of few thousand
wears. Others say that fires are kept up
bv the burning Of the remains Of wrecked
worlds which are constantly falling IN
TO its mysterious, burning depths. but
oven this seems far from probable, ana
those who take an opposite view declare
that it is monstrously absurd conclu-
sion. In summing up his opinion on the
last conclusion one Of the most eminent
astronomers of the day has figured that
mountain range consisting OF 17d
cubic miles could fall into the sun and
vet not furnish fuel enough to keep NJ
the present rate of heat for single Sec
ond. and that mass equal to our earth
would only furnish heat for % years. II
these conclusions are correct, we may
