 ''What is the inatter?" he shouted. She continued to scream, and point to the water.
 What in the devil is wrong here?" yelled the captain, the next on the spot.
 "Overboard!" cried Mrs. Nolan. A sudden dash of spray filled her mouth and she coughed. The ship gave a great lurch and she would have fallen had the two men not supported her between them.
 "Overboard? Who's overheard ?" thundercd the captain.
 Mrs. Goddard!" gasped Mrs. Nolan. ''Shc sprang up! I was in my room! She opened the door I was just in time to see her break from the room! She said something was after her-trying to kill her! She sprang over there-therci I had caught hold of her dress, but she tore loose!"

Wheat from, Egyptian Tomba-

The statement has frequently been made that it is possible to cause grains of wheat found in ancient Egyptian sepulchers to gerninate and grow This statement has been disputed, and the question was discussed at a re- cent meeting of the French Academy of Science. It was shown that while the albumen of wheat found in a tomb 6,o0o years old had undergone TO alteration, the embryo was changed Rnd could not be caused to germi- nate. But Q fresh embryo placed in the ancient albumen would grow, and this fact, it was said, proba bly ac- counted for the statement that the old Egyptian wheat rescued from it's long entombment would sprout and grow.

New Year.

N I saw on the hills of the mofning The form of the New Year arise; He stood like a statue adorningl The world with a background of skies: There were courage and grace in his
 beautiful face,
 And hope in his glorious eyes. ''I come from Times boundless forever" He said, with a voice like a song. ''1 come a friend to cndeavor, come as foe to all wrong; To the sad and afraid I bring promise
 of aid, And the weak I will gird and make
 strong.

FOUND IN AN OLD STUMP.
Original Manuscript of the Book O! MGrIuon Is Discovered in
 Illinois,

Considerable excitement has been created recently in southern Illinois over a discovery made by Marshal Pen rod, who lives on farm close to the village of Dongola, in Union county, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Penrod in digging q black stump out of a DC tato field, close to his residence. found a astOne which was about fooc long and eight inches in diameter. Ihe peculiar shape of the stone, wEic!l rcsembled a pocketbook, attracted his a1tertion,, and upon close examination he found carved or it's face in English the foi lowing words: This stoHe contains the original ma cuscTipt of the book ot the Mormon. Joseph Smith"
 The ravages of time had apparently made little hcadway on the stone. and upon close examination he found the stone was hollow. A hole had been drilled entirely through it. and at both ends red cedar plugs had been driven Upon removing one of the plugs, sever al sheets Of paper, containing writing in hier0glyphics that could not be de, cipE cred, were found. The characters are peculiar, following no known line Of ancient writing.
 At the bottom Of the last page was found written in English: The finder of this manuscript will deliver the same to the elders Of the Mormon church" The stone still remains with Mir Penrod, and already communities ton has been made with the Salt Lake church, giving the incidents of the find. It is thought the Mormon church will take steps at once 10 secure the stone and also the manuscript.

DR.. A. A Ames, of Minneapo-
lis, who in years gone bye was
elected mayor of Minneapolis on
the democratic ticket and was
that party's candidate for gov
ernor on one occasion, has come
over to republicanism on the
question of expansion.
In explanation of his change
from the democracy, DR.. Ames
said he had never yet changed
his principles. He was republi.
can at the close of the war, and
continued to be one until the re-
publican party in this city refus-
ed to recongnize the demands of
the old soldiers. Then we put
up soldiers ticket and elected
it by sweeping majority, de-
clared the doctor. But there is
one good thing about the republi-
can party. When it goes wrong
and you give it good, swift
kick, it soon comes to it's senses.
"Why am l in harmony with
the republican party now? Be
cause | am opposed to the man
who would pull down that flag.
/ would fight the man who
would put down that flag |
am in favor of free speech to
a certain extent, but if | had the
power | would make a law that
the man who struck at his coun-
try when it was IN trouble would
be controlled.
