As the day wore away, Alice began to
think it was somewhat singular that she
heard nothing from Mrs. Elliston. As
e,1eth. meanwhile, was i'll at ease. When
tn joy Of finding herself safe at home
| had time to subside. the misgiyings she
had felt az to whether the note she had
been entrusted with had fallen into the
right hands, revived with redoubled force.
The hours slipped away, till night set in.
Alice, by this time. began TO be so seri-
ously uneasy that when Aseneth entered.
bearing their evening meal, Abb inquired
IL she gave the billet into Mrs Elliston's
own hand.
Il did not" she replied: and she then
gave a true account OF all that happened
to her. and expressed her fears that she
had been deceived by the man who with
so much apparent kindness offered to con.
duct her to the place where she desired
to go.
There can be no doubt thar he de-
ceiyed YOU" said Alice, 'as is shown by
the description you give Of the house,
and the people You saw there"
Her anxiety was now excited on a diff
ferent account. The contents of the note
addressed to Mrs Elliston showed where
she had found refuge and if, as she fear
ed. it had fallen into the hands of one Of
the men who had been employed By Falk-
| land, it would be likely to bring trouble
and danger to those who had 50 kindly
befreuded her, as well as to herself.

ton in any way, and it is in connection
with this popularity of their belief that
Moser got into trouble with the church,
which led to his expulsion to persecution,
according to his statements, and eyentu-
ally to crime of most horrifying nature
One Sunday in church, he handled his
child Oh his knee and careSsed it, to stop
its restlessness. He was rebuked for
this ''idolatry" by the preacher and later
told to confess his fault before the con-
gregation. He refused and was expelled.
Then, he claims. persecution began. He
says he was not permitted to eat at the
sable with his wife. that his father and
mother would not visit at bis home. that

HOW CHURCHES ARE BUILT.
Modern Methods Far Surpass Ihos,
Formerly in Vogue.

Modern Methods Far Surpass Those
Formerly in Vogue.
In former days It sometimes took a
century or more to complete the con
struction of a cathedral To-day the
building of such edifices can under
some conditions lie reduced to queS-
ton of months Formerly the stones
of which the building was composed
had TO tie hewn and shaped by hand;
now this Is all done by machinery. One
of the most remarkable appliances of
recent days is the mammoth lathe for
turning granite columns in the quarry,
which was primarily conceived and
constructed for the special work of
turning up and polishing the granite
columns 10 be used in the erection of
the Cathedral of ST. John the Divine
IN New York city. This editice will
have thirty-two granite columns. fifty
four feet long by six feet in diameter.
Innulnerable columns of somewhat
smaller dimensions are also to be used
in the construction, and the lathe will
be used for the turning of these as well.
The lathe itself is eighty-SiX feet in
length and weighs complete 125 tons,
swings six feet six inches by sixty feet
long and has eight cutters. Each tool
takes cut three inches in depth, the
whole eight reducing the column TWEEN
ty-four inches in diameter at one pass
over the length of the stone.
The piece of Granite 20 be turned Is
cut square from the quarry to a size of
sixty-seven feet long. eight and e-haif
by seven feet in section and weighs $40
tons. After the corners are dressed
the stone is placed on the lathe and in

Antidote for LeprosN

A most remarkable application of the
principle Of inocuiation is in force in
Brazil. Ratlesnake poison has long
been in use by the natives for the cure
of leprosy. A physician of apparent
standing has made Investigations, and
reports that from experiments on ff-
teen lepers he believes that lepra tuber-
culosa. if not complicated with another
disease. is durable by means Of the rat
tlesnake's poison.

ITCH IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an icid hurnot in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great richness and in
flammation ; little pustula. eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin Is
hard, dry and fissured. Eczema IN any
form is a tornenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
hurnor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves. washes nor other exter
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
1t will keep the skin irTitated.

his wife and children were away from

These, with other prosecutions, he says,
made life so intolerable for him that there
VS. only one thing left to do. and that
was to end the lives or all his family and
