beautiful Malachtte,

One of the most beautiful minerals a
well as rich ores of copper is the green
carbonate, malachite. AS a fine marble
for carving the Russian malachite is
highly priced. 1t is very compact, and
prettily banded in different shades of
green. The malachite from Arizona is
equally beautiful as specimens, al
thoughnoto often occurring solid enough
for use as a marble. The specimens of
velvet malachite consisting of surfaces
of capillary crystals in tufts and radia-
tions are especially handsome. Azurite,
sometimes called blue malachite, is but
slightly different in chemical compost.

The Sailors Apology.

Quite recently on board one of the
Clyde steamers one of the crew had
been very impairment when asked by
a lady passenger to dc z favor-indeed,
SO much so that she went to the captain
and complained.
The captain felt much annoyed, and
told the sailor to go to the lady anc
apologize.
Watching very carefully at tie next
stop, the sailor espied the young lady
about to leave by the gangway. and.
rushing up, he said:
please, mum, are you the young lady
1 told to go to the deuce?"
"Yes; you were very rude"
well, you need not CO." continued
the sailor.-N. Y. Herald.

Honest Packing of Fruit.

A fruit and vegetable growers asso-
citation has been formed in Delaware.
1t starts out with the intention of
having fruit put on the market in a
condition that will make the people
trust it on appearance. On each pack
of fruit will be the legend: 1.-The
contents of this package are guaran-
teed to be as good all through as on
top" If this is carried u it will
force reforms by other growers, and
the trade in fruit will be stimulated.
Dishonest packing is to-day largely re-
sponsible for the small sales of fruit in
certain great markets compared with
what they might be.-Farmers' Re

Wherefore he began to crow Justify, al

about.
Now it happened that far above the BAN

the hawk heard and in about 40 seconds
had his claws full and was contentedly

The closing of registration under the
crawford county primary system pre-
s,-nts to the Republican voters of our
county a bOunteous assortment of
names from which to choose candl-
dates for the various offices. The sys-
tom has been successful in bringing
into the field Il number of candidates
not hitherto prominent among aspir-
ants for elective office. Among these
may he mentioned Mr. T.. Is. Sturges,
who is Cor the first time before the
voters of the Republican party. and
Major Everett Warren, who although
long active and industrious in party
service, has not previously sought Il
local party honor. 1t has also called
into the campaign a number of young
Republicans, who, although hoping to
be- chosen, will not suffer from the
advertising value of the contest even
though their first effort should not
prove su ,-cssful. From this time on
ward to the primaries on June II,
twenty days hence the search for sup
port will doubtless be prosecuted Wig
orously and, 1t is to be hoped, in good
temper and a philosophic spirit. Where
there are so many candidates, disap-
pointment is inevitable; to be prepare
for it will, therefore, be the part OF
wisdom.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.


Editor OF Inc lrlDunc-
Sir: In a late issue you quote DR.. Sample, tno
moderator of the general assembly OF the fres'
byterian church, as charging Christian Science
with un.Christan views and ethics. ! sincerely
hope it was not intended this charge should ap-
ply to Christian Science as taught and eXemptl-
fed by Mary Baker G.. Eddy for no shaft could
be wider of its mark than such a one. Christian
Science includes neither sympathy nor defense for
evil of any kind. The folly Of pscudo-ChriStian
Science under every guisc, and the absIrdity m
cident to Grant understanding. Christian Scien-
lists must always dcplorc and cNemplify that
the surprising wisdom of genuine Christian Sci.
encc is always in harmony with the Bible and
the very best Christian sentiment of the ages.
Dr. Sample says: at denies a personal God
In the Bible read (Deut. 4-l5), "ie saw no
manner of simlitudc on the day the Lord spake
unto you in Horcb." And again DER. 23.2D,
'Do not l fill heaven and earth? saith the
Lord"
In Science and Health with key to the Scrip.
lures by Mary Baker G. Eddy (page TO- line 2D,
we read: ''lf the term personality, as applied
to God, means infinite personality, then God is
personal Being--in this sense, but not in the
lower sense"
In the Presbyterian confession Of faith (chap 2,
sec. u, we read: "Thcrc is but one only living
and true God, who is INFINITE in being and per-
lection, a most pure spirit, invisible, without
body, parts or passions, etc. Here it is seen
that the authors Of the Presbyterian confession
Of faith in remarkable coincidence agree with the
teachings Of Mrs. Eddy and thc B.0.e in regard
to the infinite personality Of God. again Dr.
Sample says: at denies an incarnatc Christ, a
Saviour from SIM John describes Jesus as fol-
lows: "And the word was made flesh and dwct
among us (and We bchcld His glory as OF the only
begottcn of the Father full of grace and truth +;
and Paul speaks of Jesus, the mediator of the
new covenant"
Mrs. Eddy writes of Christ Jesus as follows
(Science and Health with the key to the Scrip
lures, pages 22s and 1885, "Mary's conception
OF Him was spritual for only purity could re-
fleet truth and love, which were TO be incalnate

amendments makes combinations in
restraint of interstate commerce crimi-
nal instead of Illegal and increases the
penalty for conviction. Another in
cludes among those against whom pro-
ceedings may be brought the agents,
officers and attorneys of the suspected
corporation. Another denies to the con-
victed monopoly use OF the malls and
provides that the railroads shall not
transport their goods, the latter being
subject to conflscation by United States
marshals The railroad which know
ingly transports such goods is to be
subject to a fine of not less than $500
nor more than $4,000; and the agent,
officer, manager or attorney of such
railroad who aids in the transportation
is to be punishable by heavy fine and
imprisonment. Enforcement is pro-
vided for by making prosecutions man
datory upon United States district at
torneys. clothing the federal courts
with power to summon persons and
papers, and giving to any person, firm,
corporation or association or any ofii-
Ger of the United States, the right TO
begin any civil or criminal proceeding
or prosecution authorized in this act,
whether in the name of or in behalf of
the United States or otherwise.
The foregoing propositions, it will be
perceived, exhaust the limit of drastic
treatment of objectionable trusts. Yet
the Democratic minority now makes a
report dissenting from and objecting to
them. The Democrats pronounce the
proposed constitutional amendment
feeble: they deny that existing laws
have been enforced properly; and in
stead of supporting vigorously the
amendments to the Sherman act set
| forth above, which put it in the power
| of any citizen at any time to set the
| whole machinery of the federal courts
| in motion against a trust, they go out
| of the way to suggest ether remedies,
| mostly far-fetched and indirect, such
as the denial of patent rights to trusts,
the removal of tariff duties, etc.
In short, when confronted with def
mite propositions Of antitrust legisla-
tion the Democrats, notwithstanding
their furious howls against the trusts
and their demagogic and aspersivc as
sertons that the Republican party is q
trust-governed institution, have backed
squarely down and revealed themselves
| in official records as afraid to lift a
hand against the octopuses they clamor
so much about. Never was a spectacle
at once so ludicrous and so pitiable.
