TURNED INTO MUMMY.
Strange Story of Man Who Was Im-
 prlsoned in Oak Tree.

From the St Paul Pioneer Press.
 A startling discovery was made the other day on the farm of Edward Gleek of Ottawa Township near Le Suer, Minn.. in the woods along the river. In clearing a piece of land 1t became necessary to cut down a gigantic white oak tree, which broke in falling, disclosing the fact that it was hollow for a distance of about fifteen feet, the cavity beginning several feet above the ground and ending in a large opening concealed among the branches on the lower side of the tree, which leaned over considerably.
 Within this hollow was found by horri- fled chopper the mummified body of a man, not at all decayed. but dried and shriveled by the lapse of time into some thing rivaling the best Egyptian art.
 Mir. Gleek. on being summoned by the frightened laborers, recognized in the mummy the body of Jean La Rue. a for mer servant of his. who had mysterlously

duces. Have you not noticed that nearly all inventions, nearly all true progress nearly all the worlds best blessings are found in Christian lands alone. 1t is said that one day the great landscape painter Joseph Turner came Into the studio of that other famous English artist, IT. Sidney Cooper Looking about at the pie lures Turner saw one and gave a dab with his brush saying. Put that pillar out It destroys the breadth of the picture" A short time after Gillott. the great art dealer of London, heard what Turner had done, he came to Cooper and said, 'I will give you three hundred pounds for your picture of the Welsh scene" But" said Sidney Cooper. "Gillott, you have not even seen my picture" "I know it. answered Gilott But I also know one fact. Joseph Turner would never have touched that picture with his brush un- less 1t had been worth having. And so methinks God besses the just and of- ten the unjust in Christian land. be- cause Christs work and sacrifice have been blessed in that land. Therefore. my brethren the only way for man to achieve his greater works is by spreading abroad. as far as he can. the works of Jesus Christ, upon which all mems great CT works are dependent. When Christ goes up man goes up. When Chrsit goes down, man goes down.
 Oh. what could Noses rod have done
 Had he not been directly sent?
 The power was from God alone
 And Moses but the instrument.
 Today will you not feel that you can only accomplish the greater work Christ las given to you to do by living and working in Christ! When Marshal Der nadotte. who afterward became King man he was a revolutionist At the be- heading of King Louis XVI. of France in order to show his hysterical Joy, he had tattooed upon his arm this sentence, Death to all kings and royal tyrants.' Bernadotte afterward was himself raisd to a throne. He closely guarded that tattooing from the eyes of his people un- til he was dead Oh, my friend, marked with the signs of infamy upon your heart marked with the signs of rebellion against E Christ. will you not change your belief, as Do. ndGotte did, to become an enthron- ed king? You bear on your soul the marks of sin, but If you come to him he will take you into his employ and will send you forth tc help and bless the world. As the apostle bore on his body the marks of the Lord Jesus. so you may wear the badge of his service &nd in his that he began. To you. too, the promise Is given, "He that beleveth on me the works that I do shah he do also, and greater works than these shall he do be- cause go unto my Father

Wireless TeIesraphy's Wonders.

When I see an Edison make an electric light blaze and burn upon the tip end of a dirty piece of carbon; when I see the marvels of machinery, born with every thing but a soul; when see ice frozen in the tropics. and when know that nations separated by broad seas are brought into speaking distance by wireless telegraphy know that one of the fufilliments of my text has come. Anything which excites wonder, surprise or astonishment in the broad sense is a miracle" wrote Photographer. Surely Christ was allud- ing to mans triumphs in the world of natural pehnomena when he said ''The works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, be- cause I go unto my Fatheu"
 Not only did Christ astonish the people in his day by his power over the forcse of nature; he revealed his divine nature by showing his power of physical diseases. He tried to convince the people in his day of his power as a healer of spiritual mal- adies by proving himself the cleanser of leper spots. the opener of blinded eyes and the only one of his time that could send the sluggish blood of health coursing through the withered limbs of him sick with the palsy. Yet today. as I study Christ the healer of the sick. I see that the work he did has been taken up by his followers and it's triumphs multiplied. By the word of his power he gave sight to a few blind men. but in our day the Chris tian surgeons, by their operations are giv- ing sight to thousands. The virture from his garment stopped one issue of blood. | but in our day the Christian physician with his riedicaments. Is stopping thous- ands of issues.

EDITOR TRANSCRIPT: -. ,.. e.
Old Cape Ann for the past two weeks
has been reveling in polar tempera-
ture. The frost vapor which always
rests upon the surface OF the sea IN
zero weather upon our shores has ren-
dered our ocean views at times quite
chaotic. Outgoing vessels quickly
plunge into the cloudlike mass and dis
appear, while the returning skipper
must constantly man the crows nest to
catch every available glimpse OF his
surroundings when his masts rise above
the yApor. An occasional rift reveals
a vessel cropping its way dangerously
near the eets and breakers, though but
q half hours sail from port and safety.
While an occasional 'rib-battered
wreck OF the home port lies within
sight Of the harbOr, most of our losses
are upon distant fishing grounds The
recognized king Of Gloucester fishermen
is just now struggling against hope to
save something from the wreck of his
stauuch and new craft far in the icy
north, the only steam fisherman of our
fleet. Rumor is justified in saying that
the captain will build another and bet.

this year is brought to sudden con-
clusion, and the stuffed white seal
which he had promised the marine cab
met Of the writer's school must be de-
ferred till "Captain Sol'' again sails in
bis own good ship.
It may not be generally known that
whales of good size occasionally stray
into our latitude. Just now the huge
carcass of fifty foot leviathan is fast
on the rocks of our back shore. He
was stranded there in gale last fall
and became at once an object of much
interest to school children and pho-
tographers. He now figures as the bill
of fare for innumerable crows and sea
birds. No doubt the city fathers hope
the birds will zealously pursue their in
teresting feast, and that nothing but
bones will remain with the returning
warm season, as the last whale stranded
here some years ago was buried aC a
cost of one hundred dollars from the
city treasury.
