#yaiua ble Find.

A most interesting and historically valuable find was made by a priest the other day at bennington, England. For the not very formidable sum of 4d. he purchased from a street bookseller a somewhat worn but still excellent copy of an illuminated Missal of the seventeenth century. The covers of the book being damp with mold, he put the little volume before the fire. To his surprise and delight one of the covers split open and disclosed on the fly leaf the inscription. Charles Ed ward his Boke.9 It is indubitable that the book was the personal prop erty of the Pretender, and that it was left behind him in some country house Vpon his retreat from bennington.
 First Flag Pole on the Coast.
 On the highest ground of long, low hill distant about one mile to the west ward of the little town of Bodega, in Western =Sonoma county, Cal, there stands q tall, somewhat decrepit red- wood flagstaff. This ancient-looking POA0 10 eoooe sI31y 4eGt III ue1SAt, SdJ D the San Francisco Bulletin, is bent with age and exposure, and is slowly decaying. That plain, warped old red wood flagpole is the patriarch of all fagpoles not only in California, but on the entire Pacific slope. For it was the first erected to fly the banner of the Union when California and all oth- CT territory in the same latitude from the Pacific to the Rockies were taken possession of by the United States.

THE QUEER cADDlcE-woRm,

Its Miniature Log Cabin at the Bottom
 of the Brook.
 Perchance during some summers stroll your steps may lead you by sparkling, woodland brook. Here pause a moment, and placing your face close to the surface of a dark and quiet pool, look closely at the bot tom. Among the sand and pebbles you will see a number of small bundles of sticks and little cylinders ef tiny stones, moving about as though en- dowed with life. If you take them out, however, they are apparently dead and entirely devoid of motive power But break them open, and you N&ll find each one to be little tube lined with soft and shining silk. and containing Whitish eaterplllar-like larva This, then, is the solution of the puzzie-when the grub wishes to move about, he projects the forward part of his body from the tube and erawls around. dragging his house behind him. But the moment he is disturbed or frightened, he draws back into his safe retreat. wherein he remains hidden as long as danger threatens. You will find the little tubes of various kinds. shapes and sizes. Some are cylindrical. made of sticks placed lengthwise, while others are like log houses of straw, the pieces being fastened crosswise. These min iature log cabins are often decorated with tiny snail-shell fastened to the walls, and moreover, the shells are not always empty. Quite often you may find living snails securely attached, and thus compelled to move about at the will of their landlord Other tubes are built entirely of bits of moss and leaves. The commonest forms are those composed of little pebbles or grains of sand. These are usually very regular and smooth cylinders, in which the grains are all of nearly equal size, but among them you may frequently find some with several larger stones fastened to either side in very curi- ous manner. By far the prettiest houses of all are shaped like little spiral shells and are composed entirely of almost microscopical stones.- Popular Science.

POLISHING PETRlFlEp WOOD.
Tons of It Are Shipped from Arizona
 to a south Dakota Factory.

to n Soubn DakOba facCOrys
 The polishing works of this city is now engaged on the stupendous job of getting out s1,000,0 GOO worth of polished chalcedony, or petrifed wood, to be taken to the Paris exposition. This petritied wood is hauled 1rvn, its na tive heath in Arizona, a distance of sixty-fye miles, to a railroad, and then shipped to this city to be cut and poll ished. It is shipped here in great logs and stumps, weighing many tons each, just as they have lain for many ages during the process required by nature to turn the wood into beautiful and variegated colors of stone. The pro- cess of saving the stone up in shape for polishing is most tedious, the huge machinery used for the purpose being able to saw only from an inch to three inches day into it. After being cut and polished the stone is worked up into every conceivable shape, from cuff buttons to tops for center tables and great columns, which cost q small for tune, The great exhibit which is to be ntade in Paris will be a wonderful advertisement for Sioux Falls, for the reason thass nowhere else on earth is there machinery mammoth yet deli cate enough to saw, polish and put into shape the variety of articles that will be on exhibition.-Sioux Falls Jour nal

Three Hundred Years Old.

Slem, N. J., is notable for being one of the oldest towns in that state One of it's most venerable objects is brick dwelling on East Broadway, once oc- cupied as hotel, which was erected in 1891. The building is in a fair state of preservation and is referred to with a pardonable pride by the people of the little town. The court house was built in 1735 and justice is still admin istered from beneath the broad arch which spans the stage-like platform upon which the presiding judge sits.

Distribution of the Moose.

The Field says the American elk, or moose, reaches as far south as 40 de- grees north latitude, and inhabits all the forests from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The animal is found from Kenway and Alaska to Kotzebue sound; also along the Mackenzie riv- CT and near the sources of the Elk river in the Rocky mountains is es- peeially common. Although in the case Of aR animal inhabiting wide stretches of country, il is premature to speak of it's extinction, yet the case of the American bison should teach us how soon a numerously rep resented species may be wiped off from the face of the earth if once left to the tender mereies of so-called sports men seized with a mania for big poS9'

The people of our little city

last, are loud in their praise of bic
aDle speech, which is pronounced
QUE of the best they ever heard,
his arguments being listened to
with marked attention, putting new
enthusiasm in every Democrat
present and causing Republicans,
who love their country and its con-
slitutiOu (and there were several
presently to wear a rather serious
look. Even the ladies present
mud there were several of them,
became greatly Interested in his
stirring speech on the issues of
the impending campaign. Mr..
Kieberg was introduced to his
audience by Judge Stanley Welcb
IN few appropriate remarks. Con-
gresham Kieberg's demunciation
of the trusts, which are getting a
fOGthOId in the United States,
driving ont competition in our
glorious country of sweet lib
erty. was severe, yet true. To
show the power of the trusts
]ie pointed to its hold already
an the government of the United
States, causing the present admin
istrabiOn TO violate the constitution
OF our country in the Paerto Rico
Sariff, which has been denounced
In unmeasured terms by such prom
ineBt Republicans as President
Harrison, Senator Stewart and
hundreds of other Republicans
throughout the country. Dir. Kle-
berg went on to prove that the
dangerous spirit of imperialism is
backed by the trusts in their greed
for greater power. Mr.. kleberg is
booked to speak in Laredo, Octo-

COLD WATER AS A SIMULANT
Ladies' Home Journal

Ladies' Home Journal
AS a rnle it is much better to sip
water than to swallow a glassful at
one draugh... The exception of
this rule is in the morning, when
>2e should drink glassful or two
of Moderately cold water in order
to flush the stomach while it is
tubulaae9At other times, however,
slipping the water is much more
stimulating in its effect on the cir
culation. During the action of
sippiug the nerve action, which
slows the beating of the heart, is
temporarily abolished, and in con-
sequence the heart contracts much
more quickly and the circulation
in various parts of the body is in.S
creased. Another advantage in
slipping is the fact that the pres
sure under which the bile is secret
ed is consider ably raised. 1t has
been stated on good authority that
glass of cold water slowly slipped
will produce greater acceIeratlon
of tt. pulse for time than will a
glass of wine or spirits taken at a
draught. Slipping cold water will,
in fact, often allay the craving for
alcoholic drinks--a point worth
remembering by those who are en-
deavoring to reform.
