JOSEPH II. STARKE, Adm.

Sated Jan. 23d, 1890.

Tho "girl evangelist" who has been holding forth to large audiences at Trinity church on west Pike street, will remain only until to-morrow. Several have united with the church. It is remarkable at the disposition and whims of people. The fact that a woman preaches is a novelty and that is the drawing card with hundreds that attend. When she is gone interest in these meetings will decline with many of them, and they will remain away until the church can furnish them another novelty.

Geo. II. Merritt, a merchant, di=d in Michigantown, Clinton county, in 1890, supposedly intestate but last Wednesday his lapt will and teitament was found and among its items was this very remarkable request, vis:—"Sooner or later I will be called upou to leave this state of existence.

THEY WERE GEARS.

How a Hunter Bagged a Ton of Thnn In Thirty Second-t.

"ITbelieve I g6t as big bag of bears in as short a time as any man ever did," said Doc Stadley, tho ax-sheriff and bear hunter of Mendocino. "A bag of bearB?" xclaimed the young man who had just been telling about a bag of snipe ho had onoe killed. "What were they—little fellows? What is it you call tbem—-kittens? No, cubs that's it." "No, sir. They were not kittens or cubs. They were boars," declared Doc. "I think I piled tip about a ton of bear meat in about 80 seconds. I was out hunting in the southern part of Trinity county about 17 or 18 years ago. We had killed about 40 deer and 3 panthers and a bear or two in a couple of weeks, and were pretty near ready to break camp when I thought I would go out and kill another deer to take homo fresh. It was late in the afternoon, and I was creeping along in the brush, when suddenly I came out into a little opening. I stopped to see if there was any sign of deer, and while I stood looking about a big black bear climbed up on the trunk of a big fir tree that had been uprooted. He wasn't 80 yards away, and I plugged him in the ear. He rolled off the log and down the hill toward me, but before I had time to see if he was dead another bear climbed up on that same log to see what- the row was about.

I shot it in the head, and it rolled down the same way the other had gone. Up climbed a big 2-year-old to take its place, and after I had shot it two big yearlings, one after the other, climbed up on the log to be shot. "Every one rolled down the hill toward me and was kicking and thrashing around not ten steps away. By that time I came to the conclusion that I was in a bear country, and I didn't lose any time climbing a sapling. When I got well braced up among tho limbs, I sat and pumped lead into that pile of bears. Every time one kicked I gave liiin a bullet, till they all stopped kicking. I had five bears in one pile, and I think they must have weighed over a ton altogether."—San Francisco Post.

Learning a Foreign Language.

Some interesting statistics might be collected on the effect upon linguistic power and accent of the possession of a musical ear. It would seem that a person with a good ear for music would be more rapid iu the acquirement of a foreign tongue, and having acquired it would possess a more perfect pronunciation of the sounds than would a persou not having the same ready musical gift.

Similarly such a pewon would be quick to attaiu the dialect of the country in which ho might be living and to adapt his speech to the "brogue or provincialism with which he found his ears surrounded.

The greater rapidity with which Germans, Poles and Russians learn the English language is surely not to be accounted for merely by stating that their own more nearly resembles our language than does that of the French or Italian. A Greek, for instance, learns English in about half the time it takes an Italian to acquire French, and a Russian will speak French, English and German in the same period that a Frenchman will aoquiro a mere smattering of the two latter.—Pearson's Weekly.

The Southern Aurora.

On Feb. 1, in latitude 66 degrees, longitude 172 degrees 31 minutes, we ran into open water again, having this time spent only six days in tho ice pack. On the 17th the aurora appeared, stronger than I ever saw it in the north. It rose from the southwest, stretching in a broad stream up'toward the zenith and down again toward the eastern horizon. The phenomenon this time had quite a different appearance from what we saw on Oct. 20. It now presented long shining curtains rising and falling in wonderful shapes and shades, sometines seemingly closedown to our mastheads. It evidently exerted considerable influence upon the magnetic needle of our compass.—C. E. Borchgrevink in Century.

One Drawback.

There's no such thing in this life as complete satisfaction. If a man has no money, he is miserable, and if he has lots of it, it is next to impossible to invest it remuneratively. There is no business which is sure to pay, not even the bnsiness of stealing, but that's because there are so many persons in it, and there would be many more in it if the penitentiary did not prevent it from being open to everybody, and so be utterly ruined.—Boston Transcript.

A countenance habitually under the influence of amiable feelings acquires a beauty of the highest order from the frequency with which such feelings Btamp their character upon it. —Mrs. S. 0. Hale.

An indelible ink very commonly used in the middle ages was made with a basis of the terchloride of gold applied to a cloth dampened with a solution of ohloride of tin.

The war with tho bey of Tripoli began June 10, 1801, and ended June 4, 1805. The number of men engaged in the naval foroe against Tripoli was 3,880..

Bow Tom Scott Bleb.

An interesting story is told by T. O. Curtis of Lowville, Colombia county, about Tom Scott, the millionaire lumberman, who died some years ago. Mr.

tCurtis

came to Wisconsin in the forties

and engaged in hauling goods from Milwaukee to the pineries. While in Milwaukee he met a young man who had fallen into ill hjek. He had a few land wairants, however, from, which he hoped to realize a few hundred dollars. |These warrants were given to Mr. Curjtis to sell. He afterward disposed of them for soveral times the amount the young man had expected to receive for them.

In the meantime the young fellow had gone to New York city. The money was 'forwarded to him and reached him in a jvery opportune time, being the means |of placing him in a position where he Ibecame, later, the head of one of the lor'gest dry goods firms in the great metropolis.

Some years afterward Mr. Curtis vis jited New York, where he was joyously '.received and royally entertained by tho 'merchant prince whom he had "placed 011 his feet," as he himself expressed it, a few years before. Tom Scott at this timo had a sort of store at "the Rapids." but his stock had so dwindled down that ho remarked to Curtis that he would have to do some hard scratching in f.i'der to obtain anew stock. Curtis, remembering his New York friend, signed a joint note with Scott and obtained from the gentleman the desired goods. "That," says Mr. Curtis, "was Tom Scott's starter in life. "—Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Tho Butcher and His Customers.

"What 're legso' mutton selling for?" asked Griddlerack, entering the bmch.er's shop of Cleaves.

Cleaves looks about him cautiously and then whispers, "We're asking 14, but we'll let you have it for 18." "Come now," says Griddlerack,"none of your shinanigans. Yon just sold log to Rabbage for 12£."

To this Cleaves promptly replies: "But not for such mutton as this. I could sell iyou such mutton as I sold to Rabbage for '10 cents—if I had any left." "Nonsense! I saw you when you cut it off, and I know it came off the same sheep that this did.''

Cleaves—You're a sharp one, you are, Griddlerack. There's no getting the start o' you. And nobody wants to. Leastwise, I don't. Let me tell you the dead truth about it, Griddlerack. Rabbage's leg did come off the same critter, and I did sell him for 12%, but what's a fellfrw going to do? Rabbage is such a confoundedly close buyer, it's next to impossible to sell him. So when he flame in just now I put the price way down, but he didn't get ahead of me so tmuch as he thought he was going to. I cheated him on the weight—see?

Griddlerack—Oh, that so? All right .then I'll take that leg.—Boston Transcript.

A European Idea.

One of the most characteristic features 'of European prisons as a whole is that jprisoners are allowed to have a portion of their earnings. This system prevails jin France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Russia, Sweden, Denmark and other countries. The amount earned by the prisoners varies considerably where it depends upon piece work. In France the 'average salary of the prisoner is 3o cents a day. Of this amount the prisoner is fallowed to spend one-half while in pris!on for supplementary food and clothing, postago, etc., though no expenditure is made without the approval of the ad'ministration. The other half is reserved until the time of his disoharge. A three years' prisoner has to his credit on leaving an average of $50, a four years' 'prisoner $70 and a five years' prisoner about $90.—Chicago Record.

Experimenting.

Some gentlemen, cruising round a part of the Irish coast, observing that about the same hour every day a boat containing two men and a woman took Its passengers from the shore, and after 'a short time returned with them, in quired the reason. "My men," said one, "what makes iyou come out here every day? Is it that you like it so much "Oh, your honor, not at all, but, your honor, the wife and me's going poon to Australy, and so we're just prac Itioirig the saysickness, that we may be insed to it when we start." 1 "Well, and do you find yourselves improving?" "Ah, sure, your honor, the wife's ill Wry day, butshe's getting on purtily!" —Strand Magazine. 6

First Slight of a Railway Train.

A country boy who was brought up in a remote region of Scotland had occasion to accompany his father to a village near which a branoh line of railway passes. The morning after his arrival, when sauntering in the garden behind ithe house in which they were staying, 'he beheld With wondering eyes a train {go by. For a moment he stood staring at it with astonishment, and then, ranging into the house, he said: "Fayther, layther, comeoot. There's a smiddy ran joff wi' a row 0' houses, an it's awa' doon by the back o' the town."—London Telegraph.

Ont of His Line.

The Boston Transcript reports that 'two gentlemen fell into a talk abont books. "What do you think of the 'Origin of Species?' asked one man. "I have never read it," was the other's reply. "In fact," he added, "I am not interested in financial snbjeots."

Literary Versatility.

An editor received the other day a curious application for help. The writer said: "I am sorry you do not like my romance, for I feel that I have the seoret fire in my veins. If, however, yon cannot accept my book or my poetry, will pou give me a berth as a heavy goods porter?"—-London Bookman.

HER FIRST PATIENT.

A Beautiful Incident In the Childhood or Florence Nightingale. There is a beautiful incident related of Florence Nightingale, when she was a ohild. It shows that God had already planted within her the germ which was to develop so beautifully in after days.

Her first wounded patient was a Scotch shepherd dog. Some boys had hurt and apparently broken its leg by throwing stones, and it had been decided to hang it to put it out of its misery.

The little girl went fearlessly up to Where he lay, saying, inn soft, caressing tone, "Poor Cap, poor Cap." It was enough. Ho looked up with his speaking brown eyes, now bloodshot and full of pain, into her face, and did not resent it when, kneeling down beside him, sho stroked with her little ungloved hand the large, intelligent head.

To tho vicar, ho was rather less amenable, but by dint of coaxing he a. last allowed him to touch and examine the wounded leg, Florence persuasively telling him that it was "all right." Indeed, sho was on tho floor besido him, with his head on her lap, keeping up a continuous murmur, much as a mother does over a sick child. "Well," said tho vicar, rising from his examination, "as far as I can tell, there are no bones broken tho leg is badly bruised. It ought to be fomented to take tho inflammation and swelling down." "How do you foment?" asked Florence. "With hot cloths dipped in boiling water," answered the vicar. "Then that's quito easy. I'll stay and do it. Now, Jimmy, get sticks and make the kettle boil."

There was no hesitation in the child's manner. She was told what ought to be done, and she set about doing it as a simple matter of course. "But they will be ospooting you at home," said the vicar. "Not if you tell them I'm here," answered Florence, "and my sister and one of the maids can come and take mo home in timo for tea, and," she hesitated, "they had better bring some old flannel and cloths there does not seem to bo much here. But you will wait and show me how to foment, won't you?"

Well, yes," said the vicar, carried away by tho quick energy of the little girl. And soon tho firo was lit and the water boiling. An old smock frock of the shepherd's had been discovered in a corner, which Florence had deliberately torn in pieces, and to tho vicar's remark, "What will Roger say?" she answered, "We'll get him another." And so Florence Nightingale made her first compress and spent all that bright spring day iu nursing her first patient—tho shepherd \s dog. —Everywhere.

.::.':^:SfusEs of ozone.

Valuable For Artificially Agiug I.iqnor or Seasoning Wood.

Ozono is now practically applied for several purposes. Experiments with it have shown that it will artificially age brandy, whisky, sweet and hard wines and liquors. Ozone will also improve coffee by rendering harmless oily beans. The aroma of tobacco is also considerably improved by the application of ozone. The latest application of it is for rapid seasoning of wood for sounding boards of musical instruments, which for the purpose is left in a hermetically olosed, heated room from 13 to 24 hours, ozouified air being freely introduced into the room. It seems that this process will harden the wood, increase its resistance against the influence of temperature and moisture and give it considerably more aconstio or resounding quality.

Another recent application of ozonified air is that of tho thickening of linseed oil for the mannfacture of linoleum, which by the old process took several months. By the liberal use of ozone linseed oil is now thickened to the required consistency within a few days. Most remarkable, however, is the ad vantage of employing ozone for bleaching linen, since the time employed is less than one-third of the bleaching process by sunlight, not considering that this latter is dependent both upon the season and the weather. The ozone process of bleaching renders the work absolutely independent of outside influences. Ozone has also been found very valuable in chemical and technical processes, particularly in the production of pure derivatives of starch, for instance, soluble starch, dextrin, crystal gum, eto. Here the ozone is instrumental in taking away all the matter which causes the dark color, bad odor and taste.— Philadelphia Record.

.Hotel Kleptomaniacs. V-.-"'

I was talking to a hotel clerk, and he said: "Talkabout kleptomaniacs at dry goods stores, they are scarcely a cironmggtance to those at a first class hotel.

People who cheerfully pay $5 a day for board will steal a 10 cent cake of soap and put themselves to a great deal of trouble to do it. But the principal things guests take are towels, and the collection of those articles has become a regular fad. They are taken as souvenirs of the hotel, and a lady who has traveled a great deal will have a whole trunkful with the names of the hotels on them. This is conclusive proof that they have stopped at those houses, and a person whose towels bear the marks of hotels throughout the civilized world is to be euvied as possessing a most interesting collection of mementos.
