The nomination Of Adlal E. Steven
son for the vice-presidency by the
democratic party recalled to the mem
bers Of the Iowa State Bar association
who were present at the banquet given
in Sioux City, Ia, July y, 1893, a story
told by Mr.. Stevenson at that banquet.
He happened to be a guest in Sioux
city at the time, at the home Of ais
sister, Mrs. e. 8. McCaughey. Mr..
Stevenson was quite the lion at the
feast, at which no wine was served,
and when he was called upon by
James o. Crosby, Of Garnavillo, Ia,
president OF the association and toast
master for the occasion, he arose and
remarked that. inasmueh as he was not
prepared to make a speech be would
tell a story.
The story was about a man who
went TO a small prohibition town in
the state OF Maine. and while there
was seized with a great, abiding thirst
for whisky. There being no saloons.
he tried q drug store. There he was

"In tho town Of Darien. Ca, there
IS but one building that stood there
before the war, and that building is
a Methodist church" observed a
prominent Georgian to the Washing
ton Star, and like many other
chugches, It has an interesting history.
DariSn specially suffered during Gen.
Sherman's march to the sea, every
building IN the town being completely
destroyed by IRE except this particular
building. Among the buildings des-
troyed there we're several churches.
When the church was originally built
the question came up Of putting a
lightning rod on Il. There was a de-
cided objection to a lightning rod by
some Of the members Of the church.
One particular member was very out
spoken against a lightning rod or
anything else in defiance Of the will
Of Providence He argued that II the
Lord wanted to destroy the property
He had a perfect right to dc so, for
It was essentially the Lords property.
All the other churches ia tina town,
however. we're protected by lightning
rods. The church was built in 1856.
From its position on the lightning rod
question the church became famous
as the only church in Georgia that
was protected by the Lord. It was
for years, and, indeed, is today, a
drawing card for Darien, and has
drawn o people to that town than
any other thing or incident connected
with 1t. If not more than all things
else combined. When Sherman's army
had orders to burn the town they
started at the west end Of 1t for the
wind coming from that quarter help
ed along the work. The army spared
nothing, the orders being to destroy
everything. It may have been that the
church that is protected by the Lord
was fired the same as any other build
ing, but the fact Is that when the
army left there the next morning this
Methodist church was left standing
unscorched even, though the for
buildings nearest to 1t, one of them a
church, too, were on the level with the
ground. AS far as known, there was
no special kindness shown the Lords
church, if, indeed, any kindness by the
army, but just the same 1t did not
burn.
Lots Of buildings in Darien have
been struck by lightning, which is
very severe at times all along the
south Atlantic coast, but this church
has navar bann nm ovorah1v oHaotad
though it is today the only church OF
other large building there that does
not have a lightning rod"

Two Sisters who Have Made Many Trips
to ~ Holy Land.
Living at Camb G England. are
two Of the most noted women travel
ers and students Of the century. Mrs
Agnes Smith Lewis and her sister, Mrs.
Margaret Gibson. are twin daughters
OF the late John Smith, lawyer, and
Biblical scholar, and from him they in
herit their love of research. Mrs.
Lewis and her sister have made many
trips to the Holy Land and have added
much in the way Of priceless manu-
scripts discovered and copied by them.
in the history Of the early church.
Mrs. Lewis writings and original re-
searches In ancient Syrian manuscripts
have won a world wide reputation for
her. Her latest discovery is the sy-
riac Palimpsest, which gives to Biblical
literature the Syriac gospels Of a date
not later than the fifth century. Schol-
ars cOncede this TO be the most ancient
copy Of the scrlpturai writings extant.
A famous old German university has
seen fit to honor Mrs. Lewis with the
degree of doctor OF philosophy, honora
causa, and this is something to u
remark, for conservative old Halle has
only honored n other woman in its
whole history. In comforting the de-
gree it is said, it is in token "of the
high esteem in which the authorities
held her learning and splendid scien-
tihc attainments." The faculty gives
the following four specific reasons for
honoring Mrs. Lewis. First-Finding
the Syriac Palimpsest; second, COM
plotting the translation; third, discov-
cry OF the Palestinian syriac Lection
airy; fourth, editing the Lectionary
with the assistance Of her sister.

During a thunderstorm near COnsett,
In the North Durham district, the
lightning struck a pasture field and
dug a trench varying from three feet
to three feet six inches deep, and six
inches or seven inches wide, across the
aeld for a distance Of a dozen feet.
The solid clay was scattered In all d.
rections, portions thereof being found
lying over twenty yards away, while
the turf had been cut up as clean as
II the work had been done by a sharp
implement. One grass sod, measuring
about six feet long and nine inches 10
width, was laid on the opposite side Of
the fence in another field.

Sir Thomas McIlwraith, who recent.
" died, was Premier OF Queensland
Australia, In the early eighties. Hear
ing OF German designs upon New
Guinea, he threw red tape to the winds
and boldly annexed the great equa
torial island to the British empire
upon his own responsibility. The late
Lord Derby was the colonial secretary
Of the period, and he promptly dis
avowed the action OF the Queensland
Premier. Germany then swooped down
down and seized the northern half Of
the island, and Lord Derby accepted
what was left.

Rules Of Living for the Chronic Dys-
peptlc.

Rules Of Living for the Chronic Dys-
pePtic.
T. Lauder Brunton, in the Clinical
Journal, lays down these rules for the
treatment Of chronic functional dys-
pepsia: Eat slowly, chew thoroughly
and insalivate completely three
things which are by no means always
separately, the latter in the shape Of
hot water on rising in the morning.
between II and IL in the forenoon,
about 4 or 5 in the afternoon and at
night before going to bed. When
these rules do not sufice to remove
the dyspepsia the patient must take
his farinaceous and proteid foods at
different meals alternately farina-
ceous meal at breakfast time and
again at 5 o'clock, and meat or fish
meals at midday and at 8 o'clock. In
some cases 1t will be found advan-
tageous to supplement the gastric
juice with a little acid and pepsin. A
little alkali with columbia may be Civ
en- before meals, or, if there is gastric
catarrh, some substance containing
tannin, such as infusion Of g%entian,
may be preferable. In cases with fab
by tongue, perchloride Of iron with
q~uassia will probably be Of o ser
vice. When there is gastric dilatation
which will not yield to these measures
it may be necessary to wash out the
stomach in the morning or at night.

Eucomia illinoides. found in North
China, is reported by Technische Be-
richie as a new rubber tree, the fruit Of
which is said to contain q to "a per
cent Of gutta percha Of excellent quail
ity. Until now gutta percha has been
obtained in Dutch India almost exclu-
sively, and experiments in transplant
ing the trees into the French colonies
have proved failures. In Java the con-
ditions for the growing Of rubber trees
are such that they can only be culti-
waited successfully in certain localities.
The discovery Of a rubber tree that
will bear transplating wlth11t injury
