An Official Statement.
The following statement was given
out from the office of Alfred Farlow.
head of the Christian Science publicity
bureau:
Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, discoverer
and founder of Christian Science. has
moved from Concord, N. H, to Brook
line, suburb of Boston. The Law
renee estate, which has been remodeled,
has been quietly furnished for Mrs.
Eddy and her household, and she has
occupied it. Only very few of Mrs
Eddy's friends knew of her contemplat-
ed move.
while there has been much specula-
ton about the Brookline house no one
had guessed Alright concerning its fu-
ture occupant.
Mrs Eddy and her household, in
Guiding Calvin A. Frye. her secretary,
with Archibald Mcclellan as guest,
constituted the party They left Con-
cord on a special train, carrying three
coaches. The train had been held In the
yard at Concord until a very few min

ing It was then run under the shed
of the Boston side Of the depot ana was
quietly boarded by the party. about III
or IL in number.
1.-The train was transferred to the
New York, New Haven & Hartford rail-
road at Lowell Mass, whence 1t was
run to South birmingham, where II
was transferred to the Boston and Al
bany road, and proceeded to Chestnut
Hill station, where carriages awaited
the party and carried them to their
new home on Beacon and Hammond
streets.
Here everything was in full equip
ment and supper was served at the
usual hour. Except for the three hours
required to make the trip, there was
no break in the usual routine OF the
family.
This move was not prompted by any
sudden decision. It is known to some
of Mrs Eddys friends that she has for
some years been considering the adv1s-
ability of returning to this city.
Her purpose is to be more conven-
lent to the Mother Church of the de-
nomination. nearer to its headquarters.

paration for the trip, was in keeping

BATTLE WITH FIRE.
Firemen Win 2 Ten Hours Contest
With the Flames.

Portland, Me-, Jan. 27.-Fire which
several times threatened to wipe out
the business district of this city and
which caused damage estimated at over
$500, 0o0 was kept confined to the block
in which it started this morning after
almost ten hours fighting by Portland's
f1remen aided by men and apparatus
from several outside cities The fire
started in the wholesale dry goods of
Milliken. Cousins & Co., and 1t was in
their half of the building that the
greater part Of the loss was sustained.
Later when the fire was thought to be
under control the other half of the
building occupied by A. F. Cox & Sons
was invaded by flames which had made
their way through the roof and party
wall simultaneously and the S250,oO0
stock of boots and shoes was ruined.
A remarkable feature of the fire was

by the fall Of the wall. The explosion

Once Said the Way to Keep the Stom-

Healthy.

The muscles of the body can be de-

what doubtful whether you can increase
the digestive powers of the stomach by
eating indigestible food in order to
force it to work.
Nature has furnished US all with a
perfect set Of organs, and If they are
not abused they will attend to the bust
ness required of them. They need no
abnormal strength.
There is limit to the weight a man
can lift. and there is also a limit to
what the stomach can do.
The cause Of dyspepsia. indigestion
and many affiliated diseases is that the
stomach has been exercised too much
and 1t is tired or worn out. Not exer-
else but rest is what it needs.
To take something into the stomach
that will relieve 1T from its work for a
short time-something to digest the
food-will give it rest and allow it
time to regain its strength.
The proper aid to the digestive or
gans is Stuart's DYSPEPSIA Tablets which
cures dyspepsia. indigestion, gas on the
stomach and bowels. heartburn, palpf-
tation Of the heart, and all stomach dis
eases.

automobile with puny motor and had
the laugh on the gendarme who arrest
ed him for violating the speed law.
''That reminds me of the experience
of friend of mine," he said to New
York Sun reporter. ''Two years ago
this friend had runabout with bucket
seats and a twenty-four horsepower
motor.
The car was painted red and he
couldn't go two blocks without getting
held up So he decided to change the
color and had the car painted a demure
gray.
''Then he used to be held up because
the police said that it was Vanderbilt
cup racer. Finally he had it painted
black and hasn't had so much trouble.
Il have always believed that if a
man had car with a long bonnet
which looked as if it covered 100 horse
power and wore skull cap and goggles
and drove leaning way forward, he'd
get arrested if he were. going three
miles an hour. l think there are
enough instances to prove it."

NEW WONDERS OF RAD1UM.
1t Aids in the Conversion OF Glass
Into Gems.

1t Aids I'm the Conversion OF Glass
Into Gems.
One more miracle seems to have been
realized through radium, and Professor
Bordas has made a discovery which
beats the long-sought philosophers
stone, says the Paris correspondence Of
the London Telegraph. Minerals Of
small value have been turned into ru-
bies, emeralds, sapphires and topaz. NJ.
de Lapparent announced the new won
der in communication to the Acad-
envy of Sciences.
Professor Bordas had been struck by
the fact that the glass of tubes contain
ing radium invariably takes on bright
blue hue, apparently unalterable. Hecom-
menced experiments in a laboratory Of
the College Of France to ascertain the
effect of radium on some Of the hardest
stones obtainable, choosing corindon,
which he bought from a jeweler at
about Is Sd or 2s per carat. These
stones, OF various hues, he placed in
contact with radium, leaving them for
a month. After that time he found
them to have changed color. White
corindon had become yellow, like topaz,
the blue stone Of the same kind had be-
come as green as an emerald, and the
violet was now sapphire blue.
He was to make a yet more amaz-
ing discovery. He took the altered
stones to the merchant who had sold
them In their original state without
telling him what they were and asked
him to examine them. The jeweler I'M
hesitatlngly pronounced them to be real
topaz, emeralds and sapphires, worth
about FL les per carat. He has not yet
been told the secret Of the discovery.
which is almost an alarming one, espe-
cially for his trade. Professor Bordas
continues his experiments privately.
He bought fresh set of corindon
stones, two light red, two violet and
two blue. He placed one of each color
in contact with radium for a month, at
the end of which the light-red had be-
come ruby-red, the violet sapphire-blu
and the blue emerald green. He took
all the stones back to the jeweler.
The light-red corindon unchanged
was priced as before at about is Cd per
carat.
The light-red corindon which had be-
come ruby-red under the process was
tested and pronounced to be ruby val
ued at from EGO to ESQ per carat Pro
lessor Bordas' discovery seems I'M
doubted. If it be completely confirmed,
what will what we call now precious
stones be worth in future? All our
ideas of gems must be turned upside
down. The consequences of such q dis
covery, though we can imagine some Of
them, are in the main incalculable

Needless Of the fact that it was

pulling down his head, whispered vehe-

Don't touch that salad, for goodness
sake!"
"AlI right" he answered in SINH

to the table.
Il am very sorry, Mrs. Black" ex-
claimed the minister, as the party
seated themselves, ''but feel little

ButtermiIk Ice Cream

If you have never tasted ice cream
made of buttermilk there is a most
agreeable sensation in store for you.
To a pint of buttermilk add a pint Of
cream and half a pound of lump sugar
which has been rubbed on lemons until
well favored. After putting this mix
ture into the freezer add the juice Of
two lemons. just as it begins to freeze.
When serving ice cream in cold
weather it is nice to pass around a
pitcher of hot chocolate or caramel
sauce, to be poured over it just as It
is eaten. This sauce is sometimes
served in tiny cups, into which the
spoonful of ice cream may be dipped

Mrs. Raymond returned to the parlor,
and found that her son had gone out.
Little did she imagine that he had ac-
tualiy gone to carry out his threat. He
had resolved to force the rich man to
come to a reckoning.
His mind was filled with a passion
Of just indignation against the man
who had done his father this wrong
the man who had stood by and escaped
punishment while the friend who had
sinned for him bore the penalty. He
would force him-under pain of having
all the facts made public property
TO proclaim publicly that William Ray
mOnd had not been the criminal men
had supposed him to be.
And yet as an undercurrent beneath
this honest and generous indignation,
scarcely acknowledged to himself, but
really there was a less honorable feel
ing-an uniformed desire that in some
way the knowledge he had gained that
day might be turned to his own advan-
tage.
He was poor and he was ambitious.
Graham was wealthy and had a great
deal in his power.
Why should not this rich man make
reparation to the son for what he had
caused his father to suffer? Stated
in that way it seemed fair enough; vet
there was an unpleasant flavor of
blackmail about the suggestion. He
felt he ought TO Danish from his mind
any desire to make profit of the in
jury done to his father, but he could
not quite go that length. Nearly, per-
haps, but not quite.
Finally, he resolved to be guided by
circumstances. His demand should be
that justice should be done to his faith
er's memory. II reparatlon were offer
ed in q proper spirit, not pecuniary
compensation-to accept such a thing
would be base-but reparation such as
gentleman could accept, he would ac-
cept it. 1t was with some inward trepi-
dation that Harry assembled the steps
