Photographing Closed Pages.

Library rules ordinarily forbid the removal of valuable books and engravings from the premises, so that there is trouble In obtaining photographic oopies of pictures or plates, the Introduction of artificial light, or even of a camera being commonly prohibited. A method of getting over this difficulty, which has been tried recently with success, Is to coat a piece of cardboard with a phosphorescent substance, and, after sufficient exposure to the sun, place it at the back of the picture to be reproduced. Then (supposing that the picture' is in a book) a dry plate is put against the face of it, and the volume is closed. This can be managed vdr'y easily by manipulating the dry plate under a cloth that covers the book. The dry plate is allowed to remain from eighteen to sixty minutes, according to the nature and thickness of the paper. Then it is withdrawn, under the cloth as before, and put into a dark box for subsequent development. It is stated by the inventor of this process that, if films are used instead of dry plates, a large number of copies of different engravings in the same book may be made at the same time.—Saturday Evening Post. Couldn’t Wear Shoes. Sumpter, 111., June 10th.—Mrs. J. B. Tlanigan, of this place, had suffered with dropsy for fifteen years. She was so very bad that for the last three years she has not been able to wear her shoes. She had doctored all the time, but was gradually getting worse. Last winter Mr. Flanigan, who was very much discouraged, called for some medicine at Mr. J. J. Dale’s drug store In Carmi. Mr. Dale persuaded him to have his wife try Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and he bought six boxes. His wife used five out of the six, before she was entirely cured. She is now as sound and as well as ever she was, completely restored to health, and free from any symptom whatever of dropsy. To say that Mrs. Flanigan is pleased at her wonderful deliverance does not half express her feelings, and she and Mr. Flanigan are loud in their praises Of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of Mr. Dale for recommending this wonderful remedy to them. The fact that Dodd’s Kidney Pills cured Mrs. Flanigan of such a severe case of dropsy, after the doctors bad given her up, has made them the most talked of remedy ever known in White county. Officers whq lose legs or arms in the service of the British army will hereafter be supplied with artifiicial limbs at the expense of the government.

People and Events

‘Pae-tintf of "Daniel Lmmttt. Daniel Emmett,the founder of negro minstrelsy and the composer of the music of "Dixie,*' is dying of old age at his hermit’s home near Mount Vernon, Ohio. Mr. Emmett is 86, and for years has lived in a suburban

DAN EMMETT.

home, avoiding men and their ways and seeking companionship only in the jwife of his old age and a few dogs. The circumstances which led' to his writing,“Dixie” are related by a resident of Mount Vernon. Emmett was playing in New York with the celebrated Bryant Minstrels. Mr. Bryant one day requested him to compose a new "walk ’round” of a heroic kind. "One," he said, "which the bands will want to play and which the boys will whistle in. the streets.” The next morning Emmett appeared with the music of “Dixie” as it is nowtftlayed. There was little enough in the words — mere clatter, really—but the music took at once in the north and was seized by the South for its own when the northern soldiers took it thither early in the war. The original words have long since been changed to suit southern sentiment.

A Venerable Structure.

One of tbe most interesting institutions in the south is St Michael’s Church, Charleston, S. C., which is claimed to be the oldest Protestant house of worship now in use, with the exception of Burton Parish Church, at Williamsburg, Va. It dates back to 1678. The present structure was opened for divine worship in 1761 afid has since passed through many memorable experiences. The walls contain shot fired by the British during the revolutionary war and by the Union army during the civil war; it was seriously

ST MICHAEL’S CHURCH.

Injured by a cyclone in 1885, and almost totally destroyed by the earthquake of 1886. But, as the Inscription upon a tablet In the vestibule says, “It has been restored by the generosity of American churchmen and friends." The windows contain some fine glass. The organ is the oldest In America, and was brought from England in 1768. The chimes In the steeple date from 1764 and are eight in number. They have bad a remarkable history. In 1782, when the British evacuated the city, the bells were carried away as public property, and being offered for sale in London were purchased by a Charleston merchant named Ryhlner and shipped home. In 1888 they were sent to England and recast In 1862 they were sent to Columbia to keep them out of the hands of the federal soldiers and were burned, but the fragments were gathered together and sent to Mears A Stelnbank of London, successors of the original founders, and recast in the same molds. The clock In the steeple dates also from 1764, and Is of the same pattern as that of the Royal Exchange in London.

Gen. Delarey, Boer Hero.

General Delarey. the Boer command-

ant who is making another De Wet of himself la the War In South Africa, is probably the most modern and up-to-date of the Afrikander fighters. He is said to be a perfect gentleman in his manners and to be somewhat in advance of bls fellow burghers in the matter of dress. He affects none of the negligence of attire so dear to the eye of the real Boers, yet at heart he is as sturdy, as stolid and as pastoral as De Wet or Cronje. Delarey is the officer who engineered the clever capture of the Scots Fusiliers. He is now the main pillar of the Boer army, and unless stopped by a bullet be will probably be the last to leave the field. For eleven years he sat in the volksraad, but he was known as the silent man. He has his own private griefs as well as public ones. His first born was killed at Modder River. The incident was Romanesque. The son, a boy of 16, was struck by a bullet while at his father’s side. “Are you hit, my boy?” asked the general. “Yes, father.” They went to the ambulance. “Does it pain, my boy?" “Yes, father." • "Are you going to die?" “Yes, father.” * Half an hour later the lad was dead. But Delarey fights on, and at bis side is another son, younger but as brave

President of Police Chiefs.

Major Richard Sylvester, the newly elected president of the National Association of Police Chiefs, has an interesting career with no lack of variety in incident and locality. Long before he became engaged in directing he police force of Washington, D. C., he had had an insight into the life and work of policemen from the viewpoint of a newspaper reporter. No vantage ground outside the force Itself is better than that of the reporter for acquiring a knowledge of the strength and weaknesses of men in their character as guardians of the peace. Chief Sylvester knows Just how to deal with his men because he has never forgotten his early association with the police in his capacity as a searcher for news. In addition to all of this he has executive ability of a high order and very fine conceptions of citizenship and the duties of the police officer to the civilian. For sixteen years Major Sylvester has wisely ruled the city police of the national capital. He was born forty-four years ago in lowa City, lowa, went to Memphis as a lad with his parents, and thence to St Louis, where he took a clerkship in a wholesale house. Then he entered Washington University, studied law, abandoned that profession for journalism, worked as a reporter on the St Louis press, started a newspaper in Nebraska, became editor of the Farmington, Mo., Times, and finally drifted to Washington as a correspondent He was no sooner installed as chief of police than he began to make changes in the serv-

lee which showed at once that he had struck his line. Under his administration the force has improved vastly, and Mr. Sylvester Is now one of the most efficient and most popular chiefs in the country.

A GLORIOUS SIGHT.

Fields of Wheat In Which the Shooks Wore So Thick It Was Almost Impossible to Drive Between Them. To the Editor: A gentleman from Duluth made a trip through a portion of Western Canada last summer and writing of what he saw, says: “Wheat, for instance, will average twenty-five or thirty bushels to the acre. I saw shocks so thick in the field that it would be almost impossible to drive between them. Winters, it is said are longer than near Duluth, but the Japan current, warm Chinook winds and dry atmosphere make the winters comparatively mild." Thousands of such testimonials are to be had from settlers who have taken advantage of the low-priced lands of Western Canada. During the present year new districts will be opened up in the Saskatchewan valley and advantage should be taken of this at once. Information can be had from any agent of the government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in your columns. Yours truly.

Actually Manufacturing Marble.

Manufacturers are actually making marble by tbe same process by which nature makes it, only in a few weeks Instead of a few thousand years. They take a rather soft limestone and chemically permeate it with various coloring matters, which sink into the stone, and are not a mere surface coloring, as in scagllola. The completed material takes a fine polish, and many of the specimens are of beautiful color and marking. Used as a veneer, it is about one-third the price of nature’s marble.

Mahogany Sawdust or Hot Sand Ara Rubbed Into Furs. To clean furs there are two practical and effective methods. One is by rubbing into the fur mahogany sawdust that has been first wet in benzine or gasolene; the other is by rubbing with hot sand. By means of either fur may be perfectly cleaned, explains the Woman’s Home Companion. The sawdust used by furriers is what is called “veneering sawdust”; that is, it Is from cutting across the grain, and is short and sand-like. This sawdust will not stick to fur like the long particles from cutting wood with the grain. It can be procured at hard-lumber sawmills or from .furriers. The sand used is that clean yellow kind, free from dust, as sea or lake shore sand, or such as is sometimes taken from sand hills. It should be made hot in a stove-oven to the degree that it can be borne by the hand —greater heat than that endangering the fur. After cleaning, furs should, of course, be beaten (with rattandaeater) and aired— not sunned, for fear of fading. As for wool garments they should be carefully looked over first, and all that need cleaning be cleaned by a professional cleaner or by home measures. It is a mistake to put things away “to be cleaned in the fall"; it is simply an Invitation to moths. Before cleaning wool garments should be well beaten, aired and sunned.

The new star in Perseus is now so faint as to be barely visible without a telescope. The star was first seen on the 22d of February. On Saturday evening, the 23d, it reached the first magnitude. While the veteran volunteer firemen of Watson, Miss., were holding their annual street parade the other day a genuine alarm was turned in and the old-fashioned machines were first at the blaze, which they extinguished before the steam apparatus arrived.

FOR SYSTEMIC CATARRH Peculiar to Summer Pe-ru-na Gives Prompt and Permanent Relief. Ar jjl Irwln■ /Jo /clem Clem G. Moore, Editor of the Advocate-Democrat of Crawfordovllle, Ga., writes the Peruua Medicine Company as follows: Gentlemen— “After four yean of Intense suffering, caused by systemic catarrh, which I contracted while editing, and traveling for my paper, I have been greatly relieved by the use of Peruna. 1 gave up work during these yean of torture, tried various remedies and many docton, but all the permanent relief came from the use of Peruna. My trouble was called indigestion, but it was catarrh all through my system, and a few bottles of Peruna made me feel like another person, noting the improvement after I had used the tint bottlePeruna is undoubtedly the best catarrh remedy ever compounded.—Clem G.
