the simultaneousness of the angels de- parture and tho apostles recovery of self-consciousness:
 ''Thc seraphs wing
 outspread in parting flight with snowy Awhile it hovercd; then. like radiant From its orbit loosed, went soaring up High OCT the arch of night. Then Peter

 The greatness of hls dellverance dawns upon his mind. The Jews were like hol- iday Romans. seated, upon the marble tiers of the amphitheater. waiting with heartless zest the sanguinary scene in the arena. The blood of James had only whetted their appetites. How utterly was their expectation to be disappointed.
 ePter's coming to himself: his moment ary reflection; his detention at the door by the joyous inadvertence of the ser want; the surprise of the praying band not so much at the fact of deliverance as at the time and manner; Peters account to the wondering assembly; his direction that the circumstance be related to James, the Lords brother. and supertn. tendent of the Church in Jerusalem. and his own judicious fetirement-ail make this one of the most vividly realistic nar- ratives upon the sacred page.

 Herod Is a type of modern politician. Ills income was 100000 per annum. Ii was a matter of revenue" only" Ev' cry proposed action was tested by It's probable effect upon his tenure of office. He was ready to weep in the temple at Jerusalem because he was only half a Jew. or patronize pagan games at Cesa- req; ready to sacrifice Moses or Christi anity. whichever would serve his purpose best. Risk dethronement for the sake of right and truth? Ha! ha! He was never hampered by scruples. lie nat no such tnconvenient impeachment as conscience. Alas his tribe is not ex- tinct.
 Yet Herod had his angel as well as Peter. Not delivering but an avengins angel. He had reached the zenith of am bition: his realm was as wide as his grandfathers. the great Herod. His populace was at his feet. It was his very apotheosis. That moment his angel smote him.
 In the turbid stream of the material. ism of our day this indubdtable incident erects itself. Textual criticism, some thing falsely called science, and an evil unbelief. all fret into a foam about it. It is unmoved, inmovable; For nearly two millenniums it has been a glorious 4refutable memorial of answer to prayer Peter indeed was kept in prison; but prayer was made without ceasing of the Church unto God for him. Williger says well: '' Kept in prison, but What is this But? Mere prayers! Yet single word of prayer can overthrow the power of hell"

Didn't Fool Him.
New York Times.)

Senator Ellsworth tells the following
story of Western farmer who was
visiting Albany for the first time:
'Whlle standing in the lobby of the
State Capitol at Albany, talking to
some friends few weeks ago, was
introduced by one Of my colleagues to
a typical Western farmer who had just
arrived in the city the night before and
was being shown around the Capitol
building. The old fellow had never
been in large town in his life, and
after telling me in his own quaint way
of some of the sights and places he
had seen in the city the previous
night, he suddenly turned and said to me-
in somewhat confidential tones:
Say, before leaving home 1 had
read about them fellers that blow out
the gas ana get suffocated, and /
warn't fooled by that darned thing up
in my room in the hotel / seen q
light in a glass bottle hanging on the
end of string, and couldn't put the
burned thing out. So took the knot
out Of the string and put the bottle
in the bureau drawer, and what yer

of the Strikes Ending.

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 26.-Mueh i'm
portance is attached to the calls ueh'
Goblin receives from coal miners, wso
spend hours with the general III 60
ing over the strike situation. After
having met a number of operators
Gen. Goblin said that he does not see
any signs of a settlement. In fact ne
states that all indications point more
definitely to a prolongation OF the
strike now than they did when ne
first reached here. He keeps IN
touch with the strikers as well as the
operators and may be seen daily rld-
ing over the hills with members OF
his staff. Along the road he ire
ouently holds conversations with MIN
ers, all of whom display a friendly
feeling toward him personally. Ihere
is no ill-feeling here against the SOL
diers and the military has become so
popular that a movement has been
set afoot to start company IN TINS
town.
Individual operators are beginning
to display evidence of Willingness
to end the strike if a method could be
shown them how they could make
concessions to the men without stul-
tifying themselves. In speaking with
members of the staff at brigade head
quarters, some have within the past
few days stated that if way could
be suggested whereby they could give
in without placing themselves IN
bad light, they would favor settle
ment. Gen. Goblin is using his good
offices toward settlement and he al
lows no opportunity to pass, when ia
conference with operators, to make
conservative plea for the men on
strike

SPECIAL POLICEMAN CUT.
lie Was Trying to Rescue His SON
From a Mob of Strikers.

Hazleton, Pa, Aug. 26.-August
Scheuch, aged Sc years, special po-
liceman in the service of the Lehigh
Valley Coal Co., was assaulted ana
stabbed on the outskirts of the city,
Monday while attempting to rescue
his son, William Scheuch, a non-union
workman employed at the company
No. 40 colliery. from a mob of about
1000 strikers who had gathered from
all parts of the Hazleton region on
the roads leading to the mine to frus-
trate the plans of the company for "a
partial resumption of operations
with a non-union force of $50 hands.
A majority of the non-union men
were taken to the workings in spe-
cial train with which the strikers did
not attempt to interfere. William
Schuech. who lives in this city,
walked from his home toward the
coIlierv, and thus fell into the hands
of the pickets. Most of the clothing
was torn from his back in the strug-
gle which followed.
When Scheuch's farther rushed to
his aid, the mob set upon the elder
Scheuch, who was finally rescued by
a mine foreman and removed to the
miners hospital.
Scheuch was stabbed in the breast
and on each hip, kicked in the abdo-
men and struck on the head with
stone. His injuries are not very seri-
Gus. The knife. which was sunk into
his breast, struck rib and that fact
probably saved his life. The effort
to prevent work at the mine was sue
cessful.
The report of resumption at the
Cranberry colliery of A. Pardee d Co.,
caused about 500 men to gather near
the mine, but no attempt was made
to start work.

Secret Of the Trees.
Popular M &c hanics.


Nobody seems to know what cause it
Is which produces those delicate an d
beautiful lines in maple. known as
bird 3 eye. Some people think they
come from the hundreds Of little
branches which shoot out all over the
trunk Of the tree as soon as clearing
is made around It, Expert timber
men say this is not the case. The
only way to tell a birds eye maple
tree is to cut 1t. There are no out
ward signs by which one can Judge.
The Railroad Gazette tells story Of
the late George M. Pullman Many
years ago he was offered a mahogany
log for 30, 600. TO be cut into veneers-
It was supposed to be very finesspiece
Of wood, but this could only be deter
mined bv cutting It. He declined the
offer, but agreed to take the Log
veneers for what 1t was worth. Tho
owner had it sawed and was paid
81, 900 for his veneers. Anyone who
can discover the secret of determining
the interior nature of wood from tho
outside will have fortune.

the Inauguration of the anthracite
coal miners strike have the United
Mine Workers had so many pickets
patrolling the Panther Creek valley
as was the case Monday. Every road
and path leading to the collieries was
guarded in an effort to persuade the
non-union men not to go to work. NO
new recruits were added to the work
ing force, and quite number were
turned hack. IT. rtra vigilance was
due to the rumor that 1t is the inten-

men can be secured. An official of
the company admitted that practical
miners are hard to procure, and that
none of the coal companies is able to
operate any OF the mines for this
reason.
