Electricity Cures.

According to Dr. Friedlander of Niesbaden, electricity is an antidote against stings of insects. His plan in such cases is to apply constant cur rent and to place a negative cathode on the spot stung by the insect. Gal vanization produces a rather strong sensation of burning, but at the same time the pain from the sting disap- pears, and if the electricity is applied very soon after the wound has been inflicted there is little or no swelling The current, however, does excellent service even if it be not applied untli after some time has elapsed for 1t re- moves the pain and also quickly re- Iuces the swelling. The supposition is that the poison which the insect has injected through the skin, is neutral i4ed and rendered innoeuous by the current. Dr. Friedlander has repeat edly made experiments of this kind on persons who have been stung by bees and wasps. and has invariably found them successful. He naturally believes that a similar result would be obtained in the cases of persons stung by other insects.

Oneer CoIncidencen.

There is little world in which VIC live and the people most certain of this are these who have experienced strange coincidences which seem al- most impossible. The New York Tel egraph relates some cases which are authentic. Harry Bradshaw, executive librarian of the Cambridge university library, had strange adventure in the Paris library. A book had been lost for nearly century, and Mr. Bradshaw went over to see if he could discover it. Search was fruitless though there was a strong presumption as to the part of the library where it would be found He stood one day in one of the recesses of the library, describing it's probable appearance to the libra rian, about the height, thickness and similar binding to this said he, talk ing book out of the shelves.
 It was the missing book.
 The stories of strange eoineidences in the matter of tke recovery of lost property are legion. Two years ago lady staying at Long Branch lost a gold ring while bathing. A reward was offered and all the boys of the place raked the whole shore up in search of it. But it was never found. The next year the lady was at Long Branch again, and while reading on the shore, never looking for the ring or thinking of it, she turned it up accidentally with her parasol
 A woman out bicycling lost jeweled scarfp'0, which she much va [. She did not 'ss it till the end of her jour ney, and as she had ridden 26 miles the prospect of finding it seemed small. She, however, gave notice of her loss to the police. On her return journey. when about a mile from home, she punctured the tire of her machine, and on dislRounting to discover the cause found the pin sticking in the tire.

 Amid the fiseouragenents which the recent revolution in Picking has oeca- stoned to those concerned in China's weifare-for the movement in question is manifestly antl=reform, anti-foreign. and consequently anti-Ghristian--' there are many signs that such oppo- sition can not radically hinder this country's enlightenment Such sign is the progress of the '. M. C. A. move ment among Chinese youths, which is assuming considerable importance, es* pecially in connection with mission schools. It was found desirable to in- vite from America an experienced worker in this department; and though 1t will be some time before this gen. tleman can speak Chinese, there is no difficulty in the matter of interpreters. native or foreign
 Yesterday in our large Shanghai mis- sion church, says a correspondent,th there were gathered 200 Chinese boy scholars from various mission schools in and near Shanghai, all of whom were either members of the local Y. M. c. A. or willing to join it. Earnest addresses were given and prayers offered both in English and Chinese. the English ad- dresses being admirably translated by a Christian Chinaman; while the bright hytaa singing of those strong youne voices was a delightful sound. At the close of the morning meeting prayers were distributed to the boys containing questions to be answered in writing and form of Christian en- ga cement to be signed. At the after noon service many of these were re- turned most satisfactorily and intetli- gently filled in. Such assemblies have recently been held with much interest and zeal and apparently solid results, at Ranking and other centers of mis- sionary work.-The Culver

THE TOWER OF LONDON.
Locking up Quaint and Ancient
 Ceremony.

 Locking Up Quaint and Ancient
 Ceremony.
 The main guardhouse at the Tower. which has just been pulled down, was hard by the Bloody Tower. It is at this spot, says the London Graphic. that the quaint and ancient ceremony of locking up the tower is nightly per formed, as it has been for centuries. A few minutes before il o'clock the head warder, or yeoman porter as he is properly styled, clothed in red cloak. carrying a portentous bunch of keys. and accompanied by another warder carrying lantern, appears in front of the main guardhouse and roars out. Escort, keys!. The sergeant turns out with some of the men, and follows the yeoman to the outer gate. the whole party being challenged by all the sen tries with "Who goes there?" and the answer is simply Keys" The gates being locked the keys are brought back to the main guard. Here the sentry stamps and roars out, "Who goes there?"
 Keys Is the reply.
 Whose keys?"
 Queen Victoria's keys"
 Advance, Queen Victoria's keys And all's well.
 God bless Queen vfctoria!" cries the yeoman porter.
 Amen, responds the main guard
 Present arms" cries the officer on duty, and amid the rattle of the salute he kisses the hilt of his sword. The yeoman porter marches off with the keys and deposits them in the lie,'en- ants lodgings, and from that time throughout the livelong night you can only circulate within the tower pre-. cincts if you know the countersign.

Clevslands Fair Flower.

During MT Cleyeland's tour of the south shortly after his marriage, Mrs. Cleveland and he were driving one day through the streets of one of the larger towns, escorted by two Of it's citizens. Some one threw a bunch of yiolets to Mrs. Cleveland, and MT. Cleveland bent forward to catch 1t, remarking as he presented it: T won- der why no one gives me fowers?"
 One of the gentlemen present gall la1...y replied: We think you have won the fairest flower in the 1andl"
 "Ah, yes" returned the president, "but, you see, can't keep her in water.
 "It k not necessary. since you keep her in such excellent spirits, was the reply.
 Here Mrs. Cleveland interposed, say ing: I am afraid you are guilty Of fattery. whereupon came the reply:
 No, madam; fattery is fulsome compliment, and in this instance no compliment could be either too frank or too fulsome!" The charm of this response lies in the last and fourth from the last words, Mrs. CleyeIand's maiden name being Frances Folsom Ladies Home Journal.

ROCK MAPLE PLANKEp sHAp.
Maine Recipe That Is Far Ahead of the
 Chesapeake Idea.

Maine Recipe That Is Far Ahead of the
 Chesapeake Idea.
 The man who discovered that a green rock maple slab was far ahead of the green ash plank used along Chesa- peake bay for cooking planked shad is State Senator Henry P. Sharp of Mon tieello. The secret was revealed by ac- cident. Years ago, when he was woods foreman, he had great trouble in finding cant dog handles that would not bend. Ash and oak made excel- lent handles, but as soon as they be- came wet the men who piled the logs bent them into fantastic shapes. After ten years of trial with all kinds of wood MT. Sharp learned that rock ma pie was the only material that would remain stiff after 1t was water-soaked. As result of this every cant dog now has rock maple handle. Two years ago this spring Senator Sharp went down the river and bought a dozen shad fresh from the weirs. On his way home he stopped at Orono to visit the cant dog factory and have planked shad for dinner. As no green ash could be had for the planking, fresh and sappy slab was sawed off from the cq-t dog stock at the mill, and to this the shad was begged, after which it was upholstered with thin strips of fat salt pork and placed upon the coals to cook. The heat of the fire started the maple sap in the slab and made it sizzle about the shad, and by the time the fish was cooked it was surrounded with crystal wall of maple sugar. Men who helped eat the first shad ever cooked in maple syrup say it was something to remember for lifetime They finished the entire fish in short order, and then cooked an- other and another, using a fresh slab every time Then they went and told their friends about the wonderful dish. At present no one thinks about using white ash when green rock maple can be procured for cooking shad. The men who are fond of planked shad cooked by the Sharp process are about to give the senator a dinner at 8 Ban gor hotel in order to convince him how thoroughly they appreciate his discovery.
