NEVER HEARD OF THE DEITY.

Baltimore Girl of Twenty Who So Testifies In Cpurt. That there should be anybody living in a city with more than 400 churches within Its precincts who knows nothing about God Is almost incredible. And yet. in a little alley that is not more than a minute’s walk from Baltimore street, an alley that it within a stone’s throw of one of the oldest Presbyterian churches in the city, an alley that comes to an end opposite a Jewish synagogue, lives Emma Paul, the 20-year-old girl who was brought before Judge Wlckes in the Criminal Court Friday to testify against her mother, Mary Paul, and her mother’s brother, Hermfcn Wlnsel, and who declared she was in ignorance of the Deity. Questioned by the judge—to ascertain if she knew the significance of an oath—she declared that she had never heard of God and had never been to a church or a Sunday school. All she knew, she said, was her name and her age. After she had been searchingly questioned she said she knew she would be punished if she did not tell the truth, and her testimony was accepted.—Baltimore Sun.

Mrs. Madison's Case.

Polk City, la., Oct. 14 . h over ten years Mr;. E izabcth P. M.dison, a respected lady of this place has suffered most severely with Kidney trouble complicated with derangements of the bowels and liver. Rheumatism another painful result of deranged Kidneys added its tortures to her burden of pain. Treatments and medicines without number were tried; physicians also exhausted their skill, but all to no purpose. At this stage of the case a treatment of Dodd’s Kidney Mils was resorted to and the results were simply miraculous, from the very first box an improvement was noticed and the continued treatment resulted in a complete cure. This remarkable cure created a decided sensation in the neighborhood because of the complications of the case as well as its severity and apparent hopelessness. Upon investigation Dodd’s Kidney Pills are.found to be the only remedy, that has ever cured Bright’s Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy and these hitherto Incurable diseases are readily conquered by this remarkable remedy.

Poet Under a Ban.

The Greek poet Andreas Laskaratos, whose death was announced a few weeks ago, was forty years ago placed, by the archbishop of Kephalonia, under a ban, which was not removed till last year, when the poet reached his ninetieth birthday. The ban was on account of a book entitled “The Secrets of Kephalonia, or Thoughts on the Family, Religion and Politics,” in which he wrote satires on popular superstitions and against the priesthood.

WATER FOR JERUSALEM.

Aaolont lUt.ievolrs of Solomon Are BtIH In Kxlstenoe. The Times gives a most Interesting account of the work of reopening the ancient supply of water to Jerusalem which has at last been undertaken by the Turks, the occasion being a great scarcity of water in the city. The ancient reservoirs of Solomon are still in existence and still hold a supply of clear emerald-green water. The conduits are also there, thaugh In ruin, and so is the sealed fountain and Its most ancient stonewerk which supplies the reservoirs. Apparently the new work consists, not in repairing the old stone conduits, but in laying a 10-cent pipe direct from “the sealed fountain," which is a natural spring in the limestone rock; but the pipe will follow the course of the old conduit The present governor, Mahommed Djevad Pasha is said, to take a great deal of Interest in the scheme, and to contemplate bringing water also from Beeroth, "the place of wells," to the north side of the oity. At the same time the work of repairing the Virgin’s fountain— l. a., the spring which supplies the Pool of Siloam—is going on. The water passes from the fountain to the pool through a tunnel built by Heziklah. It was in this tunnel that was found the earliest Hebrew inscription—now in the museum at Constantinople which commemorates the cutting of the tunnel, and tells how the navvies working from each end met in the middle, just as they will do under the Simplon. This fountain has an Intermittent flow—that is, after several hours’ flow there is a complete cessation for a short time, and then the water runs again. Curiously enough, the fountain was almost destroyed a few years ago by an attempt to increase the flow by blasting. Lately, however, some of the villagers of Siloam offered to restore the flow if they were given a hundred napoleons. They stopped up the holes through which the water ran to waste, and received the reward. It is a curious example of the hereditary Instinct for managing, the water supply having to be called in to correct the errors of science.—London Spectator. -

Intelligence of the Snail.

M. Jourdaln, a French scientist, has expressed the belief that few animals have a keener appreciation of muslo than snails. This will be a startling statement to many of us, who have been accustomed to look upon snails as about the most stupid creatures in the world. A casual inspection would Indicate that the slow creatures have little feeling of any kind. However, M. Jourdaln says that if you place some snails on a pane of glass you will find that as they move along they will make musical sounds similar to those which a person can produce by wetting the finger and rubbing it around a glass tumbler. Complete airs, he points out, have been played on tumblers in this way, and he expresses the opinion that quite as good results can be produced by using snails instead of fingers. The scientist goeß on to say that, contrary to the popular impression, snails are extraordinarily sympathetic and intelligent. A careful study of their movements indicates that they derive happiness from the sounds they produce on smooth surfaces while crawling along. Their intelligence is proved by the Ingenious methods they seem to devise to hide themselves from the hurts which members of the animal kingdom and the human family are apt to Inflict

Ozone on Tap.

Travel de luxe will become an actuality when each railway carriage supplies its own ozone. The idea originates with the Lancet, which offers it to the attention of directors. Now that most of the companies have successfully adopted a system by which each carriage on its journey develops, by means of a dynamo attached to thq axel-trees, its own current of eltectricity for lighting purposes, there is no reason why the same current should not be utilized to ozonize the air of the compartment. The quantity of ozone required is small. The result would be to destroy aerial impurities and unpleasant, smells, and give the air a degree of freshness like unto a sea breeze. Railway headache under the new conditions becomes a thing of the past; a long journey a health restorer. Now, which of the lines will be the first in the race to ozonize its system? Only one drawback threatens. Pater-families goes off with his family to the seaside chiefly to pick up a little ozone. Maybe he will think it sufficient In future to take them for a run on the Underground or the “Tube.”—London Telegraph.

The “Sorrow of China.”

The Yellow river is styled the ‘Sorrow of China.” During the last century it has changed its source twentytwo times, and now flows into the sea through a mouth six hundred mites distant from that of one hundred years ago. It is estimated that its floods in the present century have cost China 11,000,000 lives. Some men would get along better on the journey of life if they didn’t consult so many contradictory guidebook* St. Louis street cars killed eightyone persons lart year.

Long Island's Duck Ranches.

There are duck ranches on Long Island where as many as 30.000 ducklings are raised annually for New York’s maw, and Pennsylvania and Virginia are dotted with ranches having capacities of 6 000 to 12,000, all Incubator hatched. There is an enormous 1 duck ranch at Allentown, Pa., and one at Rivington, Va., each nearly as large as the ranch at Speonk, L. I. Geese come from all over, most of the duck ranches supplying them. Squabs raise themselves, for pigeons really require no attention. —New York Press. The leading editorials for the October number of The World’s Work deal with the assass nation of President McKinley.
