CORKS CURE STUTTERING.1; A SIMPLE DEVICE FOB THE BELIEF OF STAMUEBEBS. What -Makes People Stutter Tongue tied Women Are Rare A Majority of Stammerers Are Teutons. Curiously enough, from statistics it ap pears that the Germans, though reported to be such a slow-speaking people, hare a larger percentage of stutterers among them than any other nation. Next to them, are the English. Americans are noticeably free from this failing. It is probably because of this that there are put two training schools for stutterers in the whole country. One is in New York "and the other is in Chicago. The one in this city was started three months ago by Dr. Lothar Schwarz, a young Germaaj specialist, who gathered practical expert-, ence in his chosen line in some of thej best institutions of this character inGer-j many. He has had twelve resident pa-j tients, some of whom are from neighbor-) ing States. He has been able te effect a number of cures during the brief time ho has managed his institution. ! Dr. Schwarz says that the causes of stammering are varied. In a majority of ( cases the trouble originates during baby-j hood, the child being either too lazy to imitate sounds correctly or else some- what deaf and unable to hear sounds properly Sudden fright, diseases like,' diphtheria, typhoid or scarlet fever often bring abefut a partial inability of the ton-! gue to enunciate clearly. Again, a de-j fective formation of muscles or ot organs such as the larynx, the tongue, the palate or the mouth is often the cause of the trouble. In a number of cases, too, tho . lungs are not tranied to perform the func-: the stutterer attempts to breathe while' 6pcaking, thus causing an interruption ot the voice. The forceful grimaces made by so many stutterers while trying .to! pronounce difficult letters, such as "d" and 4,t," "f" and "p," "m" and "n". Rod "s," are due to the violent contrac tion of the facial muscles. In regard to a euro to be effected the doctor said : "The first means to be employed that is, the means which are most effective and rapid in nearly all cases is the one brought into a system and first made 1 l T- y mi - puDiic oy I'roiessor noon, inis is a system by which the tongue above all is carefully trained to perform its manifold duties. Tho tongue is, exercised, made' pliable, and is taught to do always that which the owner means to have it do.1 To accomplish this the stutterer is sub-, iected to a recrular course of exercises.' , o , some of them quite disagreeable and wearisome. For instance, bVhas to hold a cork between his teeth, and then his tuuguu uiubv try uuu piuuuuutB woius, Billables, letters, and even whole sen-, fences distinctly, without dropping the cork. By all sorts of tricks the tongue is forced to attain proficiency in pro-j nouncing just those letters or combina-j lions of letters which it was formerly un-, able to pronounce, except perhaps with great difficulty. While tho specialist was talking he entered a room in which the handsome! twelve:year-old son of-a well known college professor in Iowa was just under-! going one of those exercises the doctor, was di3cusing. The boy's organs of epeech had normally developed until a year ago, when ho met with an accident a heavy fall from his velocipede. Since! inat time ne was unable to speak two words in succession without feeling painj nod discomfort. The muscles of his face contracted and his cheeks and brow became suffused with blood in his violent' efforts to speak. As he stood before the specialist his eyes were fixed upon the wall, and be repeated for the hundredth time: 'Don't do wrong! Where will you be to-morrow?" and other phrases difficult for himto enunciate. lie pro nounced them after a fortnight's treat-' ment, plainly, but very slowly and with evident effort. BeforeNach word ho drew a deep breath and therewas a queer, whizzing sound from his lip3K"That will soon disappear," said tho doctor,1 'but with all this brave boy's persistence it will require at last another month to rid him completely of his abnormal peculiarities of speech." , Girls have this affliction much moro rarely than boys. Their tongue appears to be more elastic than is tho tongue of the opposite sex. Women who are una ble to speak quickly and plainly are very rare, according to scientific writers on the subject. 1 The largest percentage of stutterers is furnished by boyhood, es pecially between the tenth and fifteenth year. This is due, in part, to an impet uosity of speech, which gradually disap pears as tho boy learns a little more sense and reserve. There are no reliable statistics to show the percentage of those having some impediment in their speech in the different countries on the globe. But tho fact is sufficiently established that this percentage is much smaller in all the Latin countries, such as France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and South Amer ica than it is iu the Teutonic lands. This is said to bo largely due to the fact that the Germanic tongue is less voluble than the Latin one; that the languages derived in part from tho old Latin, are 'more easy of pronunciation than those descended from the old Teuton linguis tic stock, and that there are- more vowels and less difficult combinations of conso nants in them. This theory seems to find support in the fact that the English speaking people, who talk a touguo about evenly made up or Teuton and Latin words, have far less stutterers among them than the Gcruiaus and Scan dinavians, while there are at the same time moro stutterers among them than among the French or Italian or Spanish speaking nations. Chicago Herald. ' The Mjsterlous "SIxlh Sense." Dr. H. J. Bertrand, of Antwerp, has recorded the results of experiments which seem to leave it doubtful if the bat is the only possessor of the mysterious "sixth eeoie," manifested in the faculty of dodg ing obstacles without the aid of vision. Blind birds, lizards and several species of rodents appear to be endowed with a limilar gift, which to some degree is fchared by blind, and even by blindfolded, nen. A person groping his way in a dark cellar may be unable to distinguish a black patch on a white cloth held up at a distance of twoteet from his eyes, but somehow or other will manage to avoid collision with j pillars and projecting shelves, even without the assistance of his hands. Just before bumping his head' against a wall a "pressure of air," as some of the experimenters described it, somehow betrays the perilous proximity of a solid obstacle.

Paralysis of his best hand, the withering ot Its muscles and nerves, is here invoked if thi author allows to pass out of mind the gran- Jeremiah, seated by the river Euphrates wrote this psalm, and not David. Afraid J amP antmng that approaches imprecation, and yet I can understand how any one wh has ever been at Jerusalem should in enthu siasm of soul cry out, whether he be sittina by the Euphrates, or the Hudson, or th Thames, "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let right hand forget her cunning I" Yot see it is a citv unlike all others for topog raphy, for history, for significance, for sty U of population, for water works, for ruins, for towers, for domesj for ramparts, for lit erature, for tragedies' for memorable birth places, for sepulchers; for conflagrations and famines, for victories and defeats. I am here at last in this verv Jerusalem, and on a housetop, jttst after "the dawn ol the morning of December 3, with an old in . habitant to point out the salient features of the scenery. "Now," I said, "where is Joun Zionr "Here at your right." -Where isMount J5t?" "In front of where you standr Where is the Garden of Gethsemane?" "I yonder valley." "Where is Mount CalvaryP Before be answered I saw it. No unpreju diced mind can have a moment's doubt as to where it is. Yonder 1 see a hill in the shape of a human skull, and the Bible says that Calvary was the "place of a skull Not only is it skull shaped, but just be- neatn tne forehead of the bill is a cavern that looks like eyeless sockets. Within the grotto under it is the shape of the in side of a skull. Then the Bible says that Christ was crucified outside the gate, and this is cutside the gate while the site form erly selected was inside the gate. Besides that, this Bkull hill was for ages the place where malefactors were put to death, and Christ was slain as a malefactor. The Saviour's assassination took place be side a thoroughfare along which people went "wagging their heads," and there is the an cient thoroughfare. I saw at Cairo, Egypt, a clay mould of that skull hill, made by the ate General Gordon, the arbiter of nations. Whila Empress Helena, eighty years of age, and imposed upon by having three crosses exhumed before her dim eyes, as though they were the three crosses of Bible story, selected another site as Calvary, all recent travelers agree that the one I point out to you was without doubt the scene of the most terrific and overwhelming tragedy this planet ever witnessed. There were a thousand things we wanted to see that third day of December, and our dragoman proposed this and that and the other journey but I said: "First of all show us Calvary. Something might happen if we went elsewhere, and sickness or accident might hinder our seeing the sacred mount. If we see nothing else we must see that, and see it this morning." Some of us in carriage and some on mule back, we were soon on the way to the most sacred spot that the world has ever seen or ever will see. Coming to the base of the hill we first went inside the Bkull of rocks. It is called Jeremiah's grotto, for there the prophet wrote his book of Lamentations. The grotto is thirty-five feet high, and its top and side are malachite, green, brown, black, white, red and gray. Coming forth from those pictured subteiv raneous passages we begin to climb the steep sides of Calvary. As we go up we see cracks and crevices in the rocks, which 1 think were made by the convulsions of nature when J esus died. On the hill lay a limestone rock, white, but tinged with crimson, the white so suggestive of purity and the crimson of sac rifice that I said, "That stone would be beau tifully appropriate for a memorial wall in my church, now building .in America; and the stone now being brought on camel's back from Sinai across the desert, when put under a how "Secant of the law and the gospel ! And these lips of stone will continue to speak of justice and mercy long after all our living "PS have uttered their last messaee." Bo trolled it down the hill and trans ported it When that day comes for which many of you have prayed the dedication of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, the third im mense structure we have reared in this city, and that makes it somewhat difficult, being the third structure, a work such as no other church was ever called on to un dertakewe invite you in the main en trance of that building to look upon a me morial wall containing the most suggest ive and solemn and tremendous antiquities ever brought together this, rent with the earthquake at the giving of the law at fc5ina the other reLt at the crucifixion on Canary. It is impossible for you to realize what our emotions were as we gathered a group of men and women, all saved by the blood of the Lamb, on a bluft of Cavalry just wide enough to contain three crosses. I said to my family and friends: "I think here is where stood the cross of tho impeni tent burglar, and there the cross of the miscreant, and here between, I think, stood the cross on which all our hopes depend " As I opened the nineteenth chapter of John to read a chill blast struck the hill and a cloud hovered, the natural solemnity im- Eressingthe spiritual solemnity. I read a ttle, but broke down. - I defy anv emo tional Christian man sitting upon Gol gotha to read aloud and with unbroken voice or with any voice at all, the whole of that account in Luke and John, of which these eentences are a fragment: "They took Jesus and led Him away, and He. bearing His cross, went forth into a place called the place of a Bkull, where they crucified Hi ;i and two oth ers with Him, on either side c;;?, and Jesus in the midst;" "Behold thy mother!" "I thirst;? "This day shalt thou be with Me in Paradise;" Father forgivo them, they know Tint U'hnt tKorp As. MT It- 1 . , . eup pass from Me." What sighs, what sobs. wnatears, what tempests of sorrow, what BJaKsOceans of agony in those utterances! U rule Wesat there the whole scene came before us. Alaround the too and the side3 and the foot of theJiill a mob raged. They gnash their teeth and shake their clinched fists at Him. Here the Cavalry horses champ their bits and paw the eartlvand snort at the Bmell of the carnage. Yonder a group of gamblers are pitching up as to whohall have the coat of the dying Saviour. There are women almost dead with grief amongxthe crowd His mother and His aunt, and some whose sorrows He had pardoned. Here ax man dips a sponge into sour wine, and by a stick lifts it to the hot and cracked lips. The hemorrhage of the five wounds has done Its work. The atmospheric conditions are such as the the world saw never before or since. It was not a solar eclipse, such as astronomers record or we ourselves have seen. It was a bereavement of the heavens Y Darker! until the towers of the temple were no longer visi ble. Darker 1 until the surrounding hills dis appeared. Darker! until the inscription above the middle cross becomes illegible. Darker ! until the chin of the dying Lord falls upon the breast, and He sighed with this last sigh the words. "It is finished!" As we sat there a silence took possession of Us, and we thought, this is the centre from which continents have been touche-L fn i all the world shall yet be moved. Toward this hill the prophets pointed forward-. Toward this hill the apostles and martyrs pointed backward To this all heaven pointed down ward. To this with foaming execrations perdition pointed upward. Round it circles all history, all time, all eternity, and with this scene painters have covered the might iest canvas, and sculptors cut the richest marble, and orchestras rolled their grandest oratorios and churches lifted their greatest doxologies and heaven built its highest thrones. Unable longer to endure the pressure of this scene we moved on and into a garden of dives, a garden which in the right season is fullof flowers, and here is the reputed tomb or Christ. You know the Book says. "In the u . arden was a sepulchre."" I tnink this was the garden and this the -sepulchre. It is shattered, of course. About lour steps down we went into this, which seemed a family tomb. There is room in it for about five bodies. We measured it and foaud it about eightfeat hi-U an i nine feet wide and fourteen f o t long. The crypt where I think our.Lord slept was seven feet long. I think that there once lay the King wrapped in His last slumber. On some of these rocks the Roman government set its ; gave 01 mis mausoleum oa the on the first Easter morning the angel rolled the stone thundering down the hilL Up these steps walked the lacerated feet of the Con queror, and from these heights He looked off upon the city that had cast Him out and I Opoft the world He had come to redeem and fat the heavens through which He would voon ascend. But we must hasten back to the city. There are stones in the wall which Solomon bad lifted. Stop here and see a startling Sroof of s the truth of the prophecy. In eremiah,'' thirty-first chaper and fortieth verse, it is said that Jerusalem shall be built through the ashes. What ashes, people have been asking. Were those ashes put into the prophecy to fill up? No! The meaning has been recently discovered. Jerusalem is now being built out in a certain directions where the ground has been submitted to chemical analysis, and it has been found to be the ashes cast out from the sacrifices of the ancient temple ashes of wood and ashes of bones of animals. There are great mounds of ashe?, accumulation of centuries of sacrifices. It has taken all these thousands of years to dis cover what Jeremiah meant when he said, "Behold the days shall come, saith the Lord, that the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Hananeel to the gate of checoi ner, and the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes.'V The people of Jerusalem are at this very time fulfilling that prophecy. One handful of that ashes on which they are building is enough to prove the divinity of the Scriptures! Pass by the place where the corner stone of the ancient temple was laid three thousand years ago by Solomon. Explorers have been digging, and they, found that corner stone seventy-five feet be neath the surface. It is fourteen feet long, and three feet eight inches) high, and beauti fully cut'and shaped, and near it was an earthen jar that was supposed to have con tained the oil of consecration used at the ceremony of laying the corner-stone. Yon der, from a depth of forty feet, a signet ring has been brought up inscribed .with the words "Haggai, the Son of Shebhaiah," showing it belonged to the Prophet Haggai, and to that seal ring he refers in his prop- Jhecy, saying, "I will make thee as a signet.' walk further on far under ground, and X find myself in Solomon's stables, and see the places worn in the stone pillars by tne nat ters of some df his twelve thousand horses. Further on, look at the pillars on which Mount Moriah was built. You know that the mountain was too small for the temple, and so they built the mountain out on pil lars, and I saw eight of those pillars, each one strong enough to hold a mountain. Here we enter the mosque of Omar, a throne of Mohammedanism, where we are met at the door by officials who bring slip pers that we must put on before we take a step further, lest our feet pollute the sacred places. A man attempting to go in without these slippers would be struck dead on the fpot. Tuese awkward sandals adjusted as well as we could, we are led to where we see a rock with an opening in it, through which, no doubt, the blood of sacrifice in the ancient temple rolled down and away. At vast ex- Eense the mosque has been built, but so som er is the place I am glad,to get through it, and take off the cumbrous slippers and step into the clean air. bonder is a curve of stone which is part of a bridge which once reached from Mount Moriah to Mount Zion, and over it David walked or rode to prayers in the temple. Here is the waiting placeof the Jews, where for centuries, almost perpetually, during the daytime whole generations of the Jews have stood putting. their head or lips against the wall of what was ones Solomon's temple. It was one of the saddest and most solemn and impressive scenes I ever witnessed to see scores of these descendants of Abraham, with tears rolling down their cheeks and lips trem bling with emotion, a book of psalms open before them, bewailing the ruin of the an .cient temple and the captivity of their race, and crying to God for the restoration of the temple in all its original splendor. Most affecting scene! And such a prayer as that, century : after century, I am sure God will answer, and in som9 way the departed gran deur will return, or something better. I looked over the shoulders of some of them and saw that they were reading from the mournful psalms of David, while I have been told that this is the litany which some chant: ifor tne temple that lies desolate, We sit Id solitude and mourn; For the palace that is destroyed, VVe sit in solitude and mourn; For the walls that are overthrown. We sit in solitude and mourn; For our majesty that is departed, Wes't in solitude and mourn; For our great men that lie dead, We sit In solitude and mourn; For priests who have stumbled. We sit In solitude and mourn. I thiuK at that prayer Jerusalem will come again to more than its ancient magnificence; it may not be precious stoues and architec tural majesty, but in a moral splendor that shall eclipse forever all that David or Solo mon saw. Bat 1 must get back to the housetop where I stond early this morning, and before the sun sets, that I may catch a wider vision of what the city now is and once was. Stand ing here on the housetop I see that the city was built for military safety. Some old warrior, I warrant, selected the spot. It stands on a hill 2600 feet above the level of the sea, and deep ravines on .three sides do the work of military t renches. Compact as no other city was co m pa ct. Only three miles journey round, and the three ancient towers, Hippicus, Phasaelus, Mariamne, frowning de.'th upon the approach of all enemies. -s 1 stood there on the housetop in the m .-.ist of the city I said, "O Lord, reveal to me this metropolis of the world that I may see it as it once appeared." No one was with me, for there are some things you can see more vividly with no one but God and your self present. Immeiialely the mosque of Omar, which has stood for ages on Mount Moriah, the bite of the ancient temple, disap peared, and the most honored structure of all the ages lifted itself in the light, and I saw it the temple, the ancient temple! Not Solomon's temple, but something grander than that. Not Zerubbabel's temole. but something more gorgeous than that. It was Herod's temple, built for the one purpose of eclipsing all its architectural predecessors. There it stood, covering nineteen acres, and ten thousand workmen had been forty six years in building it. Blaze of magnifi cence! Bewildering range of porticos and ten gateways and double arches and Corin thian capitals chiseled into lilies and acan-x thus. Masonry beveled and grooved into such delicate forms that it seefned to tremble in the light. Cloisters with two rows of Cor inthian columns, royal arches, marble 6teps pure as though made but of frozen snow, carving that seemed like a panel of the door of heaven let down and set in, the facade of the building on shoulders at each end lifting the glory higher and higher, and walls wherein gold put out the silver, and the carbuncle put out the gold, and the jasper put out the carbuncle, until in the changing light they would all seem to come back again into a chorus of harmonious color, x The temple ! The temple ! Doxology in stone! Anthem 3 soaring in raft ers of Lebanon cedar! From side to side and from foundation to gilded pinnacle the frozen prayer of alleges! From this housetop on the December after noon we look out in another direction, and I see the king's palace, covering a hundred and sixty thousand square feet, three rows of windows illumining the inside brilliance, the hallway wainscoted w ith styles of colored marbles surmounted by arabesque, vermilion and gold, looking down on mosaics, music of waterfalls in the garden outside answering the music of the harps thrummed by def t fingers inside; banisters over which princes and princesses leaned, and talked to kingi and queens ascondmg the stairway . O Jeru salem, Jerusalem ! Mountain city! City of God! Joy of tho whole earth! Stronger than Gibraltar and Sebastopol, surely it never could have been captured ! But while standing there on the housetop that December afternoon I hear the crash of the twenty-three mighty sieges which have come against Jerusalem in the ages past. Yonder is the pool of Hezekiah and Siloam, ' but again and as;ain were those waters red dened with human gore. Yonder are the towers, but again and again they fell. Yon-' . der are the high walls, but again and again they are leveled. To rob the treasures from her temple and palace and dethrone this queen city of the earth all nations plotted. David taking the throne at Hebron decides that be must have Jerusalem for his capital, and coming up from the south at the head of two hundred and eighty thousand troops he captures it. Look, here comes another siege of Jerusalem! The Assyrians under Sennacherib, en slaved nations at his chariot wheel, having taken two hundred thousand captives in his one campaign: Phoenician cities kneeling at his feet, Egypt trembling at tha flash of his sword, come upon Jerusalem. Look, an other siege! The armies of Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar come down and take i plunder from Jerusalem such as no other city mm iu jiiu, una iea inousana ot ner citizens trudge off into Babylonian bond- ; age. Look, another siege! and Nebnchad- i nezzar and hi hosts by night go through a breach of the Jerusalem waB, and the , morning finds some of them seated trf umphant in the temple, and what they could j not take away because too heavy they break up the brazen sea. and the two wreathed pillars, Jachin and Boas. Another siege of Jerusalem, and Fompey with tho battering rams which I?Idr; men would roU back, and thso, at full run forward, would bang against the wall oftbe city, and catapults hurling the rocks upon the people, left twelve -thousand dead and the city to the clutch of the man war eagle. Look, a more desperate siege of Je rusalem! Titus with his tenth legion on Mount of Olives, and ballista arranged on the principle' of the pendulum, fee swing great bowlders against the walls and towers, and miners digging under the city making gal leries of beams underground which, set on fire, tumbled great masses Of bouse and hu man beings into destruction and death, All is taken now but the temple, and Titus, the conqueror, wants to save that unharmed, but a soldier, contrary to orders, hurls a torch into the temple and it is consumed. Many strangers were in the city at the tune and ninety -seven thousand captives were taken, ana Josephus says one million one hundred thousand lay dead. But looking from this house top, the riegi that most absorbs us is that of the Crusaders. England and France and all Christendom wanted to capture the Holy Sepulchre and Jerusalem, then in possession of the Moham medans, under the command of on of the loveliest, bravest and mightiest men that ever lived; for justice must be done him, though he was a Mohammedan glorious Salad in I Against him came the armies of Europe, under Richard Ccsur de Lion, King of England; Philip Augustus, King of France; Tancred, Raymond, Godfrey and other valiant men, marching on through fevers and plagues and battle charges and sufferings as intense as the world ever saw. Saladin in Jerusalem, hearing of the sickness of King Richard, his chief enemy, sends him his own physician, and from tne walls of Jerusalem, seeing King Richard afoot, sends him a horse. With all the world looking on the armies of Europe come within sight of Jerusalem. At the first glimpse of the city they fall on their faces in reverence and then lift anthems of praise. Feuds and hatreds among them selves were given up, and Raymond and Tancred, the bitterest rivals, embraced while the armies looked on. Then the battering rams rolled, and the catapults swung, and the swords thrust, and the carnage raged. God frey, of Bouillon, is the first to mount the wall, and the Crusaders, a cross On evefy shoulder or breast, having taken the city, march bareheaded and barefooted to what they suppose to be the Holy Sepuloher, and kiss the tomb. Jerusalem the possession of Christendom. s But Saladin retook the city, and for the last four hundred years It has been in possession of cruel and polluted Mohammedanism! Another crusade is needed to start for Jerusalem, a crusade in this Nineteenth Century greater than all those of the past centuries put; together. A crusade in which you and I will march. A ornnadA without weapons of death, but only the sword of the Spirit. A crusade that will make not a single wound, nor start one tear of distress, nor Inoendiarize one home stead. A crusade of Gospel Peace I And the Cross again be lifted on Calvary, not as once an instrument of pain, but a signal of invitation, and the mosque of Omar Bhall give place to a ohurch of Christ, and Mount Zion become theMwelling plaoe not of David, but of David's Lord, and Jerusa lem, purified of all Its Idolatries, and taking back the Christ she once cast out, shall be made a worthy type of that heaving city which Paul styled "the mother of us all, "and which St. John saw 44the holy Jerusalem descending out of heaven from God." Through its gates may we all enter when our work is done, and in its temple, greater than all the earthly temples piled in one, may we worship. Russian pilgrims lined all the roads around the Jerusalem we visited last winter. They had walked hundreds of miles, and their feet bled on the way to Jerusalem. Many of them had spent their last farthing to get there, and they had left 6ome of those who started with them dying or dead by the road Bide. An aged woman, exhausted with the long wajr, begged her fellow pilgrims not to let her die until she had seen the HolV City As she came to the gate of the city she could not take another step, but she was carried in, and then said, "Now hold my head up till I can look upon Jerusalem," and her head lifted, she took one look, an i said: "Now I die con tent; I have beffl it! I have seen itP Some of us before we reach the heavenly Jerusalem may be as tired as that, but angels of mercy will help us In, and one glimpse of the temple of God and the Lamb, and one gooi look at the "king in his beauty," will more than compensate for all the toils and tears and heartoreaks of the pilgrimage. Hallelujah I SELECT SIFTINGS. A Boston (Mass.) firm has caught a a sea turtle weighing over eleven hun dred pounds.' A Statesboro, Ga., citizen ha? a pair bf trousers in which he was married over forty years ago. Fashion has decreed that its followers among men shall look as much like Van Dyke portraits as possible. It is curious that there are no direct descendants of Napoleon, "Wellington;' (Washington or Walter Scott. . Apartment houses have been multiplied to such an extent in New York city that a decline in rents is imminent. 1 A bride from Michigan was visiting Libby prison, in Chicago, 111., when she found cut in a window sill her father's name. The falls of Niagara carry down 10, 000,000 cubic feet of water a minute, which" is equal to about 3,000,000 horse power. I Three thousand dollars Is now the jmarket quotation for the title of Baron in Spain, -while that of Count costs twice as much. A deserted wife in Milwaukee, Wis., has been placed in jail because she was unable to pay a $24 fee on a six-cent judgment. ' The Rev. Henry Rominger officiated recently at the second marriage of his mother at Bethlehem, Penn. Such a unique occurrence is probably unprece dented. The Fat Men's Association, of New York, recently participated in a clam feast and election of officers. The Presi dent and board of officers weigh 3186, pounds, an average of 265$ pounds'. It was not untif 1784 that the perma nent settlement and occupancy of Upper Canada began. In that year about 10,000 persons were placed along the northern shores of the River St. Lawrence, Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. A German watch that is on exhibition in a Pittsburg (Penn.) window is prob ably the thinnest timepiece in the world. It is not more than an eighth of an inch thick, and the works themselves seem no thicker than cardboard. Butterine h made from tallow or lard as the chief component with cocoanut, olive or palm oils to give it the necessary flavor and consistency, salt and a little annotto for coloring. This is a rather harmless preparation, and if the recipe were always followed, would not be ob jectionable. It is not generally known that a single mouse turned loose in a grocery window will catch more flies in a single evening than fly paper catches all day. And, be sides, he eats them and don't leave them lying around loose. Don't grudge the mouse his little mischief; he is a good fly and roach exterminator. It is rather an unusual sight to ses itinerant printcra traveling horseback, but a couple of the craft, Pollard and Blnckley by name, passed through Elko, Nev., the other morning by that method, en route from Salt Lake City to San Francisco. They were well equipped forthe journey, and seem to be eojoyin ma urp. . - A LEVEL HEAD. Tae Advantage of Presence ml Mind fa an Emergency. During the late strike on the New York CentralR' ' mad, the militia were ordered to be in readiness in case of a riot, but they were not called out. . . iV . In an interview Gov. Hill said the troops were not to be called upon except in case of an emergency. The emergency had not arisen, therefore they would not be ordered out. He remarked that this was the first great strike with which he had had experi ence, and he did not propose to lose his head; the only point at which there had been serious trouble was at Syracuse, and there a deputy sheriff had lost his head and precipitated an encounter, " The strike continued several weeks ana there was riotous action at various points along the road, but the civil authorities were able to cope with it without calling on the militia. The test of a man's real ability comes when an emergency arises which makes a hasty call on his good judgment and discretion. The man who retains his presence of mind, retains his equipoise and exercises sound discretion at such critical junctures is to be relied on and will be put to the front. Men with level heads have the staying aualities which do not falter in the face of anger. Otis A. Cole, of Kinsman, O., June 10, 1890, writes: "In the fall of 1888 I was feeling very ill. I consulted a doctor and he said I had Brigh t's disease of the kidneys and that he would not stand in my shoes for the State of Ohio." But he did not lose courage or give up; he says: "I saw the testimonial of Mr. John Coleman, 100 Gregory Sty New Haven, Conn., and I wrote to him. In due time I received an answer, stating that the testimonial that he gave was genuine and not overdrawn in anyjparticular. I took a good many bottles of Warner's Safe Cure; have not taken any for one year." Gov. Hill is accounted a very successful man; he is cool and calculating and belongs to the class that do not lose their heads when emergencies arise. ' Fees for Tortnrinjr Criminals. People who cry out about the inhu manity of the execution of Kemmler, and talk about the 4 'good old times," may read the following list of prices for deal ing with criminals, as taken from the 'official records in Paris : Francs.

It acts gently on the kidneys, liver and bowels.cleans ing the system effectually, but it is not a cure all and makes no pretens'ons that every bottle will not substantiate.
