Samuel, the deputy collector, on trial in the Federal court here for. alleged frauds against the government and collusion with distillers waa concluded yesterday morning, and the defendant, .Samuel, being sworn, denied each of the 24 charges in the bill of indictment He aaid the signa ture of J. M. Combes on the back of the checks, which a handwriting expert said was in his handwriting, was in the handwriting of Combes' wife and he saw her sign one of thorn. He gave a detailed account of his duties of an of ficer, declaring that he had never re ceived a penny from any one as a bribe and but one man had' ever tried to bribe him. His diaries and reports, as an officer being read, he said they were in every respect correct and spoke the truth. Explaining his intimacy with Jim Combes, he said Combes was the most valuable informer he had, and he had no idea of his running a blocktd still until being told of it oqe night, he followed directions of his informer, Went out next day and destroyed or as nearly as possible the steam engine and boiler, but the still was gone. He said that all officers got their most reliable information of the existance of block ade stills from rival blockaders, and it was nothing unusual for an officer to be on good terms with men having the reputation of being blockaders, when there was no direct cause of suspicion that they were. The direct examina tion of Samuel had not concluded when court adjourned in the afternoon. The members of the First Baptist church held n congregational meeting Sunday morning at the conclusion of the regular service. Their pastor, the Rev., Dr. Battle presented the matter of raising the additional amount neces sary to make S15.000 in bona-fide sub scriptions before starting the work of rebuilding their church: The congre gation subscribed over $13,000 at meeting held two weeks ago; and on Sunday they added $3,000 making in all $1,000 more than was asked for. The estimated cost of the improvements will be about $20,000. Plans and speci fications will be submitted to the con tractors as soon as . possible.

The verb to get Is one of our much misused words. It means to acquire, win, obtain, mnl primarily It signifies Ois putting forth of effort to attain omcthing. Consequently It is not only superfluous, but Incorrect, to speak of .i lnnu us "Kctliii; drowned" or "(ret- ins sick," r.uil you may unfortunately 'have a cold," but It is impossible that you "linvo got a cold. At tlls mo ment no exceptions occur to the writer to the ruio that tfot should never be d in connection with, have, which alone auflicleutly expresses possession. Say "I have llio picture," not "I have ot the picture." "The dog has a broken lee," not "The dog has got a jrokeii 1cr." iue irregular verbs lay and lie are freipionUy confounded. Lay Is an ac tive or trniiM'live verb, and llo Is pas sive or i!iliai:s:tive. We lay things rown or have laid thorn down, but we inrl thing:! lie t rest. You lie down, iavo Iain down, -will lie down or are lyln-; down; t-.lie lay down yesterday and i.-i i ii to lie dow1!! this afternoon. K frocjiiiiit error U to confound the past tcnm-i! of thc-ye verbs. Ono should y, "Mary laid Hie book on the table ami lay down herself," but the book lies on the table.

Fish fried in oil or but ter la by bo menus the most marked example, as llio fut docs not penetrate very deeply, rota toe maahed with bi'.t'.cr t;re rather worse, and minced fegi-tnblcg filed with butter are bad offenders. The reason advanced ex plains why pork Is difficult of diges tion. Tho muscular fibers are mixed up with fat ceils, and by the liberation of the oil In each tiny cell tbe eaten pork la made into an oily paste. A very strong stomach will do tbe work required, but it is not a fair task te Impose frequently, and a weak stom ach will refuse to do anything beyond reminding Its owner by few stabs that it will not stand such treatment WeWtev Portrait.

The diamond, we know. Is sim ply carbon In a transparent crystalline form. It comes of humble parentage and is brother to the lump of coal. Unlike easily crystallizable bodies, carbon is Insoluble In all ordinary solv ents, but molten metals will combine with It Lot the diamond maker choose iron for a solvent for charcoal, melting it In an electric furnace-, allowing It to take up as much carbon as It can In other words, saturate Itself with car bon. The crucible containing the white hot metal should then be plunged Into a bath of molten lead. The result will be that globules of Iron will rise to the surface of the lead and are quickly cooled on the outer surface, inside the hard crust the iron remains for some time in a molten condition, and as iron expands In solidifying the contents of these little globules receive a pressure unattainable by any other means. When the lead becomes solidified some bullets of Iron will be found bound up In the mass. Plssolve with some pow erful acid first the lead and then the Iron, and a residue of carbonaceous matter will be found to contain tiny crystals real diamonds. Any chemist with a well equipped laboratory enn make diamonds in this way, but the largest of them will not be more than a fiftieth of an inch In diameter. THE CULT OF SILENCE. Truest tntercourne Detivecn Cor.gca lal Spirits I Without Word. Now, to keep one's freshness there ought to be a zone of alienee around every human being during some part of every dny. It is significant that the great religious of the world have come out of silence and not out of noise, and the finest creative work is done, as a rule. In seclusion not necessarily apart from men nor in solitary places, but away from the tumult and away from distracting sounds. It Is In silence alone that we come Into possession of ourselves. The noises of life disturb us as a cloud of dust In tervenes between the eye and the sky. There ought to be a cult for the prac tice of silence a body of men and women committed to tho preservation of the integrity of their souls by nei ther hearing nor making speech for certain periods, pledged to the culture of the habit of quietness. Maeterlinck has pointed out the fact that the best things ere never spoken, and tho truest Intercourse between con genial spirits Is carried on without words. If we said less and thought more there wonld be far fewer things to explain, many sources of Irritation would be dried up at the sources and the prime cause of Irritation, which Is nervous exhaustion or excitement would be removed.
