THE SURFACES OF MEDALS.

Patina, or Rust Film, That Preserves
 Them-Frosting and Other Processes
 Employed at European Mints and in
 Japan.
 In this country (Great Britain) med als have been issued for centuries with the tables or flat surfaces smooth and mirror-like, while more or less frosted texture has been given to the portions in relief.This es especially the case in medals which have been struck as spec imen pieces, for after highly polished dies have been used for a certain time the difference between the appearance of the tables and the parts in relief be- come less and less marked. As is well known medals with polished surfaces rapidly tarnsh. and even blacken, by exposure to the ordinary atmospheric influences.
 In France different system has long been adopted concurrently with the one just described. Unpublished dies are employed, and care is taken to inn part to the medals struck from them a dead or frosted surface by rubbing them with fine pumice. Recently. at the French mint, medals have been SuDJecCeQ 10 the process hHOWH dS sand blasting" by the aid of an appli- ance which projects against the surface of the medal small jet of air, carrying with it fine sand and h aving velocity of about one hundred and eighty feet per second When thus treated the surface of the medal becomes minutely granular or frosted, and may then be further treated in several ways. Some times the surface is darkened by expo sure to an aqueous solution of sul- phide, followed by rubbing with very fine pumice, which removes the dark layer of sulphide from the portions in high relief and leaves dark lines in the more deeply cut recesses.
 It is, however. preferable to cover the medal with layer of platinum and this is effected by immersing it in an alco- holic solution of chloride of platinum until a blackened surface is produced. Subsequent rubbing with brush and very fine pumice changes the blackened surface to a delicate gray and if this operation is conducted skilfully gradu- ated shadows may be left wherever the artist considers their presence desirable The beauty of medals so treated and the

Not the least of the sights of the fair will be the new buildings erected since the fair of last year. The main building, with admin istration building in front, containing all the offices of the society, is built in the form of a horseshoe and surrounds the immense tents The bench show and poultry buildings are each 6OX10O feet, with ornamental offices in front, and are located near the main build ing. Machinery hall is just north of the above building, and in the rear is To- cated a new storehouse for the con- venience of exhibitors who desire to save the packing cases, etc., in which the goods are received. In variety and extent of exhibit this year will be a record breaker. More cattle, horses, dogs, poultry and sheep than ever be- fore. More and greater variety of ex- hibits in building and tent than ever before. Go early in the week and see all that you can, and continue to go each day until you have seen it all.

FOUR BOXES DID IT.
Romarhablo suoeeas ofa New pile oure.

ANoAh"AA"uAo SuoSesS oA N NeW Filo Suro'
 People who have suffered for months or years from the pain and inconven- fence of that common disorder piles, will look with skeptlcism upon the claims of the makers of the new discov- cry for cure of all forms of piles, known under the name of Pyramid Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordinary cures performed by this remedy are such as to warrant the investigation of any sufferer. As case in point the following letter speaks for itself,
 MT. Henry Thomas of sub-station No. 3, HosacS avenue, Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows:
 Pyramid Drug Co.,
 Gentlemen-I want you to use my name If it will be of any use to you. I was so bad with the piles that I lost work on that account. Nothing did me any good. I read in Cincinnati of the many cures of piles by the Pyramid Pile Cure and I went to a drug store and asked for it. The drug clerk told me that he had something else that he thought was better, but told him that wanted to try the Pyramid first.
 The first box helped me so much that l tried another and then to complete the cure used two more boxes, making four in all. I am now completely i cured. Have not a trace of piles and l had suffered for four years with the worst form of protruding piles. | l suffered death from piles, but have found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just as represented. I have recommended it to several of my friends, and I am thankful to be able to write you what 1 good the remedy has done for me" | Physicians recommend the Pyramid l Pile Cure because it contains no opium, cocaine, or mineral poison of any kind, and because it is so safe and pleasant to use, being painless and applied at night The patient is cured in sur prisingly short time with no inconven- | fence whatever.
 The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by druggists at 50 cents per package, and if there is any constipation 1t is well to use the Pyramid Pills at the same time with the Pile Cure, as constipation is 1 very often the cause of piles and the pills effectually remove the costive con- dition. Price of pills is 25 cents per | package.

SIXTH BuLLEYE OF THE sp1RE
Making a Fine Record On a
 Connecticut Church.

Lightning Making a Fine Record On Connecticut Church.
 Ansonia, Sept 20-The Episcopalians
 of Seymour are wondering what the lightning has against them that it
 should single out their church for it's
 mark so frequently. For the sixth
 time Q bolt has made a target of the church spire this week and ripped things up in lively fashion What
 makes his persistence the more pecu-
 liar is that the lightning struck al-
 most the same spot each time.
 On Wednesday afternoon a storm came up from the west, and when the lightning began to flash and dance
 over the electric wires on Main street
 the lounger began to speculate as to
 the chances of the church being hit again. They had hardly time to make bets on the subject when terrific clap of thunder came and the crowd knew that the same old bullseye had been hit, for the metallic ring showed that | the church bell had been disturbed. After the shower was over the crowd
 saw big gaping hole on the side of | the spire, and visitors to the church 1 found a rafter split into pieces small enough for kindling wood
 The first time the church was struck
 was on June 1A1822. A collection taken 1 up to repair the damages amounted to $182, ,SS, and it cost $1S2,S4 to fix things | up. On May IS, 1864, lightning struck l in the same spot, but the damage was slight The third time was June 27, | 1875, when $50 was required to make
 good the damage of the electric fluid.
 Now comes a, coincidence. In Sep | tember, 1893 and 1897, as well as in | September of this year, the spire was
 hit by bolt in exactly the same place
 and almost exactly the same amount of damage was done. Three times the
 same rafter has been shattered so as | to require taking out. The church is well covered with lightning rods, but l they don't seem to have any value. | Possibly the situation Of the building
 has something to do with it's attrac-
 tiveness for electricity. It is on high | hill and is surrounded on three sides | by rocky crags which go by the | names of Rimmon rock, Castle rock,
 and Betts hill. It is a conspicuous
 mark for lightning, and near by
 residents laugh at the rod agents who
 come to them, pointing to the church spire as their best protection.

EARLY FOREIGN NEVIS.
The Dreyfus Scandal-Sensationa1 state- ment in Court by Colonel Ptcquart- New Charges Against Him by the Minister of War.

ment in Court by Colonel Picquart-
 New Charges Against Him by the
 Minister of War.
 Paris, Sept 21.-The trial of Colonel Picquart and M. Leblois, lawyer, on the charge of revealing documents con- corning the national defense, began to- day before the Correctional Tribunal, but the public prosecutor asked for an adjournment on the ground that the prosecution of Colonel Picquart on the charge of forgery and using forged doc uments had been ordered by the min- ister of war. M. Labori, who was coun- sel for M. Zola during the latter's fa- nous trial, indignantly opposed the ad- journment, which, he said, was an at tempt to hand over Colonel Picquart to the clutches of the military authorities.
 Colonel Picquart then made a state ment which caused a sensation. He said: This is, perhaps, the last time i shall speak in public. I shall sleep, perhaps, in the military prison of Cherche Midi. Therefore, I wish to de- clare that If ma there the Strangllng cord of Lemercier Picard, or the razor of Colonel Henry, it will be murder, for l have no idea of committing suicide
 The people in the room became in- tensely excited, and shouted, ''Vive Picquart!"
 The judges, after short delibera- tion, decided to adjourn the case indef- nitely, and Colonel Picquart was led away between policemen.
 , Lemercier Picard. the man referred tc by Colonel Picquart, was a detective understood to have been employed ir the Dreyfus affair. who was found hanged in his lodgings about a year ago under circumstances which did not make it certain that he had committed suicide.

senate who voted against the measure.
 Mir Eaton was one of the strongest advocates of tariff reform during his term in congress, and was the author of an important measure providing for the appointment of tariff commission, His term expired March 3, 1881, before his bill could be made law, but the subsequent congress enacted a meas ure covering the main provisions of MT. Eatons act. He was hard money democrat, and held positive views with regard to the greenback controversy which agitated the country a few years ago. In the fall of 1882 he received the democratic nomination for congress from the First district, and was elected by handsome majority. At the close of his term he retired from active po- litical life, though his voice was still heard and his influence felt in the coun- cils of his party.
