part of the cylinder, which is empty,
rising above the floor of the hut and
closed first by leather, then by wood,
and lastly by india rubber. Outside,
the cylinder is packed round with frag-
ments of wood, leather and resins, and
covered with hard rubber at the level
of the soil
To use this peculiar apparatus the
drum is struck by wooden hammer,
and the vibration is evidently transmit
ted through the soil The answer is
heard in the drum, which acts as a
resonator, and messages are thus sent
over 1, 500 yards from house to house.

Tricks Rise to wealth.

Thirty years ago Henry G. Frick was
a poor bookkeeper in a -four mill in
Fayette county, Pa. He made his start
in business by the purchase of a small
interest in coal mine near his home.
The business grew steadily. In 1878,
at the time of the panic, he was only
"a years old. The panic enabled him to
acquire the whole plant, and then he
began to spread. He bought everything
he could in the way of coal land. and
when the reaction came he found him
self enormously wealthy.
At 40 he was master of the coal
trade. In 1878 he took in partner, E.
M. Ferguson, and after that, in 1882,
the Frick Coke company was organized.
Andrew Carnegie then became asso-
ciated with Mr.. Frick in the coal and
coke business, and for many years the
two have worked together. Mr.. Frick
is only feet inches tall, blond and
slight. He is affable and generous and
has great capacity for work and organi-
cation.

'sHang Out Your Lights
In olden times in England before the
modern street lamps were invented ev
cry householder was expected TO have a
lantern suspended in front of his house,
and the cry of the watchmen in London
as they went along at eventide was,
"Hang out your lights" Instead of
disputing in your home about the diff
ferent kinds of lantern, as a Waterman
on the walls of Zion cry, FLet your
light so shine before men that they,
seeing your good works, may glorify
your Father which is in heavenP' Hang
out your lights You may have a thou
and ideas about religion and yet not
the great idea Of pardoning mercy. 1t
is not the number of your ideas, but
the greatness Of them. A mouse hath
ten offsprings in her nest, while the
ioness hath one in her lair. All ideas
about forms and ceremonies and church
government put together are not worth
the one idea of getting to heaven your
self and taking your family with you.
But do not reject Christianity, as
many do, because there are SO many
sects. Standing in Westminster hotel,
London, I looked out of the window
and saw three clocks, as near as I can
remember, one on the parliament house,
another on st. Margaret's chapel, an
other on Westminster abbey, and they
were all different. One said 10 o'clock
at noon, another said five minutes be-
fore 10, another said five minutes after
10. I might as we'll have concluded
that there is no such thing as time, be.
cause the three timepieces were differ
ent, as for you to conclude that there
is no such thing as pure Christianity,
because the churches differ in their
statement of it.
But let us all rejoice that, although
part of our family may worship on
earth in one church and part in an
other church, or, bowed at the same
altar in compromise of preferences,
we are, if redeemed, on the way to
perfect church, where all our prefer
ences will be fully gratifed. Great

Freeing n Domestic Eagle.

A friend of mine, who told me the
story, had an eagle. He caught it when
it was young, and had brought it up
as far as he could like a domestic fowl
Having, in Gods providence, to 60 over
to the other side of the world, he was
selling off everything. He wondered
what he should do with his eagle, and
the happy thought came to him that he
would not give it to anybody, but would
give it back to itself-he would set it
free And he then opened the place in
which it had been kept and brought it
to the back green. How he was aston
ished 1t walked about, feeling as if
this were rather bigger than its ordi-
nary run, but that was all. He was
disappointed, and, taking the big bird
on his garden wall

The sun had been obscured behind
cloud. But just then the cloud passed
away and the bright, warm beams
poured out. The eagle lifted its eyes
and pulled itself up. wonder what it
was thinking? Can an eagle recollect
the crags and cliffs, the reveling in the
tempests of long ago, the joyous thun-
dering and the flashing lightningsH
Pulling itself up, it lifted one wing and
stretched it out-''by prayer and sup

PORK COMING HIS WAY.

James Green, a veteran of the civil war,
was caught last week in a shower of pigs,
and now carries a broken right arm in a
sling as a result. Green is employed on a.
large dairy farm and has charge of so or
60 head of dairy cows.
Last Tuesday, as he was standing on
the main floor of the big COW barn, he
suddenly heard a soft, fat thud, and
looked up just in time to see a young pig
up from the floor.
Before he had time to move the Der.
Torrance was repeated and another prom
ising hog was hurled. into eternity. Green,
however, had located the storm center by
this time and had discovered tina 1t was
confined to the center of the barn-the hay
chute, reaching up fully 30 feet to the lofts
being the vortex through which the me-
teoric porkers were descending.

DRINK BEER TO SOBER THEM.

Beer was the all absorbing topic of dis
cussiOn at the hearing in the Emma Ar
buckle insurance suit before Judge But
Ter. The Preferred Accident Insurance
company, which is being sued by the
widow, claims that Frank Arbuckle had
been drinking W~oorstburger beer in large
quantities on the night he was found by
the New York police, and that this in
diligence was largely accountable for his
death.
In rebuttal the widows counsel placed
several saloon men and brewers upon the
stand to testify regarding beer, it's effect
upon an ordinary man and the relative
strength of Woorstburger with other
brands. 1t is asserted by the company
that Arbuckle drank fully Is glasses Of
beer that night.
Charles Hamburg, who has a saloon
on Fifteenth street, said that Is or even
20 glasses of beer were not too many for
some men.
did you ever know of men becoming
intoxicated by beer?' was asked.
There have been such cases." he re-
piled after a long pause.
Suppose a man has been drinking
wine and added Is or 20 glasses of beer
within an hour or so, would the
combination have an Intoxicating eff
fect?"
with a good many people beer will
sober them up. I nave read Of and seen
people who lave drank beer after wine
to sober them up"
Asked the effect of 20 glasses Of beer of
the domestic sort within an hour, Ham
burg begged to be excused. He didn't
handle it. The fact that the beer is pure
leaves it Intoxicating to the extent of the
alcohol which it contains.
Louis FriSch, a very portly Bavarian,
with an abundance of humor, said he
had been drinking beer all his life.
How does Woorstburger beer COM
pare with whisky?"
Better ask an ~Irishman," responded
Frisch, smiling blandly. HE knows
more about it than l."
F'risch said his father had not been a
brewer, but a judge.
Gottfried Schrimer testified that he
considered Woorstburger beer the light
est of any of the German brands.
The plaintiff claimed a good point on
this beer proposition, because the COM
pan claims that the brand named is
very heavy, and a few glasses will in
toxicate, as they did Arbuckle, while the
widows attorneys say they have proved
that it is the lightest of the light, and
that Arbuckle was not affected by it to
the extent claimed.
