Search Ends In Death.

Templeton, Pa, Sept. 1S.-When
William Flick, farmer of Rimerton
Armstrong county, Cid not return
from the mine on his farm, to which
he had gone in the morning to dig
a load of coal, his sister started in
search of him. She entered the mine
and stumbled over her brothers body,
and was unable to arise. Later the
mother of the two, frightened by their
absence, went to the mine She, too,
was overcome. A rescue party found
the three victims. They lay together
and were dead from damp. One of
the rescuers was overcome, but was
carried to the outside in time to save
his life.

nrendth of plyIn. Love.

King Henry III. of England crowned
his son as king and on the day OF
coronation put on a servants garb.
and waited. he, the king, at the sons
table, to the establishment of all the
princes. But we know of more Won
drous scene-the King of heaven and
earth offering to put on you, his child,
the crown of life, and in the form of
servant waiting on you with blessing.
EXtol that love, all painting, all sculp-
ture. all music, all architecture, all
worship! In Dresdenian gallery let
Raphael hold him up as a child. and
in Antwerp cathedral let Rubens hand
him down from the cross as a martyr,
and Handel make all his oratorio vi
brate around that one chord-"He was
wounded for our transgressions, bruis-
ed for our iniouities." But not until
all the redeemed get home, and from
the couItenances in all the galleries OF
wonders Of redemption, shall either
man or seraph or archangel know the
height and depth and length and
breadth of the love of God.
At our national capital monument
in honor of him who did more than
any one to achieve our American indie
pendence was for scores of years in
building, and most of US were dis
couraged and said it would never be
completed. And how glad we all were
when in the presence OF the highest
officials Of the nation the work was
done! But will the monument to him
who died for the eternal liberation OF
the human race ever be completed?
For ages the work has been going up.
Evangelists and apostles and martyrs
have been adding to the heavenly pile,
and every one OF the millions OF re-
deemed going up from earth has made
to it contribution of gladness, and
weight of glory is swung to the top
Of other weight of glory, higher and
higher as the centuries go by, higher
ard higher as the whole millenniums
roll, sapphire on the top of jasper, sar-
donyX on the top of chalced0ny and
chrysoDrasus above topaz, until far be-
meath shall be the walls and towers
and domes Of our earthly capitol,
monument forever and forever, rising
and yet never done, Unto him who
hath loved us and washed us from our
sins in his own blood and made us
kings and priests forever" Alleluia,
amen

Conway, a resident of "No Mans

Evanston, is accused by the police Of
collaborating, and although a death
certificate has been issued by a physi-
clan and DR.. Springer of the coroners

that the infant died of natural causes,
the mother says that i'll treatment
upon the part of the father was di-
rectly responsible for the death. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Conway's story, the
child was beaten August 20, and died
Sept. i. It's father was asked to sup
ply a drink and he became annoyed
when awakened. The chastisement OF
the baby is said to have followed. A

Massacres have profoundly affected
the history of the United States, aside

ders of the French protestants, under
Ribault. in Florida. by the Spaniard
MenendeZ in 1865, sent the French to
Canada instead of to the South Allan
tic coast of the present United States,
gave the latter to Spain, and thus
made Florida far easier to win by the
United States after this country's in
dependence was gained. Devastation
along the northern border of New
England by the French and Indians in
the various intercolonial wars, which
ended with 1863, melted the resistance

Variot of Paris, according to a Lis
bon paper, has discovered a process
for embalming bodies which it is
thought will prove a great success.
He not only embalms but metallics
the bodies by the Roult process, Just
as it is done with fork or a spoon.
In this manner they can be preserved
indefinitely and in such perfection that
the most imperceptible wrinkles and
lines are reproduced. and the en-
balmed body has the appearance OF a
metal statue.

Probably the longest beard in the
world is that of metal worker in
Marseilles, France. The man is sew
enty-four years old. When fourteen
years of age he had beard six inches
long. 1t grew from year to year, and
now his hirsute attachment, when un-
rolled, reaches the respectable length
of ten feet ten inches. When this man
goes out walking he carries his beard
rolled up in a big skein under his
arm. Since he is rather small in size,
measuring about five feet tire inches.
the beard is more than twice the mans
