From the London Telegraph
 Year by year the moon is getting a few inches more distant and reversing the argument year by year in the great past the moon was nearer to us. Prof. George Darwin has shown that long, long ago. the moon revolved close to the earth and still earlier formed part of this globe From that time to the present he cal culates at least 54000,0O0 years must have elapsed. The birth of the moon took place therefore. somewhere about that date in the past. Sir Robert Ball ob-

LlttIefeld Ia Doubtful.

MT. Littlefeld of Maine, upon all the specihcations except the one of the ex- pense account, defended Judge Swayne. lie would not, he said, vote for any specitlcation, he felt the senate would not sustain.
 If you believed" interjected MT. Perry or Texas, Judge Swayne acted fraudu- lently in making these accounts don't you think these other specifications would throw light on his intent?"
 .No'' replied MT. Littlefield, T don't thlnk this house in an impeachment pro ceeding will undertake to present to the senate, and stand before the people on proposition that 1t Is necessary to rely upon the atmosphere created by unsus- tained charges to sustain a charge that Is vague in it's character"
 He was driven. however, he said, to the conclusion that the evidence disclosed in the case of the expense account could not be ignored
 MT. Lamar, Florida, who filed the orig inal charges against Judge Swayne closed the discussion by denouncing the judge as tyrannical and corrupt. He con- graduated the people of Florida and of the whole country that there was at least one specification upon which all was unanimous. and that was that Judge Swayne had knocked the federal gov- ernment out of money that ought to be in the federal treasury"
 Mir. Palmer moved the previous ques- 1 tion on the resolution with an amend ment providing for Judge Swayne's im- peachment for high crimes and misde- meanors." The original resolution speci- fled only Thigh misdemeanor.'
 The previous question was ordered, 1ss to 6l. The resolution was then agreed to without division
 Resolution Is Adopted
 Immediately after the adoption of the | impeachment resolution, MT. Palmer off, fered the following, which was adopted:
 Resolved, That a committee of five go to the senate and at the bar In the name of the house of representatives and of all the people of the United States, to impeach Charles swayne, judge of the district of the United States for the northern district of Florida, of high crimes and misdemeanors in office, and to acquaint the senate that the house of representatives will in due time pre- sent articles of impeachment against him, and make good the same, and the house do demand that the senate take order for the appearance of the said Charles Swayne to answer said impeachment"
 Another resolution was adopted pro- vidng that a committee of seven be ap- pointed to prepa nd report articles of impeachment az st Judge Swayne. This resolution MT Littlefield unsuccess- fully sought to amend by substituting the words committee on the judiciary for the word "seven."
 The speaker thereupon appointed as the committee to carry the impeachment into the senate Messrs. Palmer of Penn sylvania, Jenkins of Wisconsin, Gillett of 1 California, Clayton of Alabama and Smith of Kentucky.
 At 5:1s o'clock the house adjourned un- l til tomorrow.

WORLDS FAIR.
Great Coach Excursions via Penn
sylvania Railroad.

June 8, Is, %, and 80 are the next
dates for great coach excursions to St.
Louis via Pennsylvania Railroad, on
account of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition. The rates for these eXcur-
sions have been fixed at such a low
figure that they afford those of limited
means an opportunity of seeing the
Worlds Fair at an exceptionally small
cost. The unusual success attending
the first Pennsylvania Railroad eXcur-
sion indicates hal these will be very
popular.
Special trains of standard Pennsyl
vania Railroad coaches of the most
modern pattern will be run On the
aforementioned dates from New York,
Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Altoona, and
P%ittsburg, directly through to st. Louis
with ample stops for meals at conve-
nient hours. Each train will be in
charge of Tourist Agent of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. The rates will be the
same as for the first excursion, May 10,
$50 from New York, 1885, from Phila-
delphia, and proportionate rates from
other stations.
Specific information regarding time
of special train and connections, and
rates from principal stations east of
P%ittsburg, will be announced shortly.

Summer School for Sunday-school
Teachers.

Sunday-school people of New Jersey
have a summer school for training
teachers in modern methods of class
work. This school started in 1894, has
had a wide influence in this and other
states. -Four courses are now given,
for beginners, primary junior and inter-
mediate teachers. The school meets at
Asbury Park, July 40. Miss j. l..
Baldwin, 80 Elizabeth Ave, Newark,
is the secretary. Many Sunday-schools
each year send one or more of their
teachers to take the weeks course at the
schools expense. The children certain
ly need good training in morals and
religion, and training the teachers is
one of the most hopeful ways to secure
it.

Triumphs of nodern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-
tirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the
place of diseased sections of veins; an
t~iseptic dressings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like Injuries before
Inflammation sets in, which causes
them to heal without maturation and
in one-third the time required by the
old treatment. Chamberlain's Pain
Balm acts on this same principle. 1t is
an antiseptic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very quick
ly. 1t also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your
home and it will save you time and
money, not to mention the inconvenI-
ence and suffering which such injuries
entail. For sale by Cohen Bros, Wild

TOY GARDENING.
1t Is of All Sorts the Most Pitifu1 and
Ridiculous.

Our counsel is to avoid all mimicry
in gardening as we would avoid it in
speech or in gait. Sometimes we do
not mind being repetitious. In gar
dening," we say, almost the only
thing which costs unduly-in money or
in mortification-is for II to try to
give himself somebody else's garden!
One of the reasons we give against 1t
is that it leads to toy gardening, and
toy gardening is of all sorts the most
pitiful and ridiculous. mo true art"
we say 'can tolerate any make be-
lieve which is not in some way finer
than the reality it Stimulates. In other
words, imitation should always be in
the nature of an amiable cOndescen-
sion. Whatever falseness, pretension
or even mere frailty or smallness sug-
gests to the eye, the. Intellectually OF a
toy is out of place in any sort of gar
dening." We do not actually speak all
this, but we imply it, and we often find
that the mere utterance of the words
''toy gardening" has a magical effect
to suggest all the rest and to over
whelm with contrition the bad taste
and frivolity of many a misguided at
tempt at adornment. At that word or
exorcism joints of cerulean W pipe
crested with scarlet geraniums, rows
of white cobbles along the walk or
drive like a cannibaPs skulls around
his hut, purple paint kegs of petunias
on the scanty doorsteps, crimson wash
kettles of verbenas, anthill rockeries
and we'll sweeps and curbs where no
wells are, go modestly and forever into
oblivion.-G. w. Cable in Scribner's.

they saw the boat crossing and thought
it was getting along all right, but [

The boat found was a sturgeon skiff
and was picked up by James Thorn
ton, a boat builder at Schellenger's
landing; Frank Entrikin, Jr., and
Roseman. 1t contained a three f,
horse power Palmer engine and Oh the !,
was the name of j.. B. Jones. On ,
the day previous to the finding of the !
boat by these men, Capt. Eldredge, of |
the Cape May Point station, had come |
upon a floating skif bottom upwards, ]
which was the one since picked up.
He tried to right it, but was unable to
do SO, as the heavy seine was entan- .
gled in the boat. .
On the same morning about four
Surfman Springer, of the Cold
station, picked up at a point
the iron pier at Cape May four {
bars, a foresail and a jib, all of which c
had been washed ashore. On the oars
was the name of Jones and on the sail $
lis initials. This was enough to show 9
hat the boat, oars and sail belonged :

ishermen set out.
Just what caused the boat to capsize S
s unknown, but it is most likely that
t was due to a storm coming upon Y
hem and the incidental heavy-waves.
The boat was in good condition when e
picked up off the Cape May coast.
