FIVE H U N D R E D DOLLARS.

Quite an Ainnunt In One Lunip. Not If Made up ofSinall Kill.

Itut

Five hundred dollars nt the present t ime IH a large amount far a man of

small means to raise. One dollar, .or

even three, wouldn' t bother any of you, would it? Well, hardly. Any one of you could do tha t little and never feel, and

yet a large number of " t h a t little's"

would do an immense amoun t of good to your editor. There is outs tanding on

subscription accounts over $2,000, euch peraon owin? a little, very few owing over three dollars, and yet the aggregate

is large. None of you would really feel the small amoun t you owe and yet

should you all square up it would make

quite a reepectablo sum.

Wha t I w a n t is to remind you of your editor and his needs. I want five h u n -

dred dollars by Oct. 1st, and I think I do not appeal to you in vain. The

amount each of you owe is insignificant

but the aggregate is po mean sum, so jusk do your JDVBI best and let me have

the amount my due before Oct, I s t wi thout fail. J shall expect to receive

Easy Tests For Proving a Diamond. I t is an easy ma t t e r to detect the dif-

ference between a genuine diamond and an imitation. Take a tube of filtered wate r and dxop the stone therein. If it is paste, it can be seen as i t passes through the water , bu t if p u r e the eye is unable to see it at all. Another test is to place tho stone upon a pencil dot made on a piece of white paper. If the dot is du-plicated upon the facets you can rest as-sured tha t the stone is a f raud , bu t if not it is a good stone. The common be-lief tha t a stone can be tested by filing is erroneous, for the best diamond ever cu t will splinter and break when rasped with this inatrument.—St. Louis Globe-Dem-o c r a t

In par t , this custom was one of ostentation. I t could ho practiced only by the influential who wore exalted by making themselves a nuisance. When death ensued, a hatch-ment was set up in the same spirit of vainglory. All tho windows in the house woro closed for a term, tho dura-tion of which was fixed by custom, bu t which bore a relation to the estate of the deceased nnd tho consequent degree of exaltation descending upon his heirs.

Dogs bark (curs only aneak off), birds scream, boys shout, girls clap hands to their ears in sweet confusion, horses paw, all animate na-ture responds to tho exhilaration of noise. Tho sick do not. In every form of sick-ness the nervous funct ion is deranged. As we have seen above mankind has shown its appreciation of this fac t by its customs. Excessive sensibility to IIOIRC is thus one symptom of neurotic defen-eration. I t is the mark of one broad dis-tinction between the state of civilization and i t s opposite. I t testifies to one part of tho price which t ha t state exacts f rom man on his physical side.

Elizabeth Parish, whose death we chronicled last week, was born In Eng-land in 1825, removing to the state of New York in her early childhood. At the age of 30 she was married to Sanford Fuller, of Rochester, N. Y.

In 1860 they moved to Michigan, lo-cating in Verjfbnnes. Mrs Fuller, al-ways taking a very active part in religi-ous work, at once entered the field and became a very zealous and ardent work-er in the M. E. church. She remained a member of that church until her re-moval to Lowell in 1887, when she join-ed the Congregational church and re-mained a member of same until her death, Sept. 18, 1898.

She was the lastof her father's family, her brothers and sister having passed away before her. * She leaves of her own family a daughter and son, her oldest daughter, Mrs J. A. Lyon, having pass-ed away in 1891.

The mother has passed away from the living, but the memory of her, cherish-ed by „the children, will still grow brighter and more pleasant as they re-flect upon the good deeds and the love that she always showered so abundantly upon the father and children.

The snrprises experienced in the study of "this fair volume which we world do name" are inexhaustible, and it often happens that in the most unexpected places discoveries of incalculable value to science are made. Snob at least is the case in regard to the wonderful find of mammoth bones, of which aocounts have bean received from Mr. Hurst and his companions, who were sent to Lake Mulligan by the museum board. A more apparently uninteresting and for-saken spot than this locality could not be found in the whole of Australia. When Captain Sturt , along with Dr. Browne and Mr. John McDougall Stuart, went northwest from Menlndie on the Rivet Darling in 1884, he came into a great stony desert lying to the eastward of Lake Frome, and the party endured the most terrible hardships from the frightfully barren nature of the ootm-try and the extraordinary heat of the weather.

In sudh a country it was only too plain that no living being could exist, and in-deed the utter absence of life in any form was one of the weirdest characteristics of the whole region. Lying between the Grey range on the east and with Mount Searle, Mom.t Freeling, Mount Hopeless and other eminences on the west, this stony desert contains many dreary salt-pans, and of these Lake Mulligan is one of the principal. Stnrt got'to about the middle of the plain and found the coun-try so utterly forbidding and lifeless that he reluctantly retraced his steps once more to the haunts of civilization, where he gave snch a disheartening ac-count of his travels thai for many years it was currently asserted that the whole of the interior of Australia consisted of one vast stony desert, in which it was scarcely possible that any living thing could exist.

What a different picture of the past history of this country is brought to light by the new discoveries! Mount Searle. which rises to a height of 8,000 feet above sea level and forms the cul-minating point of the range between Lake Frome and Lake Torrens, was probably at the period of which we speak fully twice that elevation. On its sides grew huge trees, and all around there was a dense tropical growth exceeding In luxuriance the forests of the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Every form of life on the whole earth was at that time huge and uncouth. The wombats, of which the bones have now been unearthed, were as large as bul-locks. On the grassy plains a t the foot of the mountains there roamed the di-protodon, a gigantic animal allied to the kangaroo in its structure nnd habits, but of a size between a rhinoceros and an ele-phant.

Of very farreiu-liing significance is the story whidh is told by these mute relics of a remote age. I t hats often been observed by naturalists that the types of animals from which, in distant geolog-ical periods, the existing fauna of Ans-tralia and of America have been derived present a strange correspondence. Great dissimilarities no doubt may be pointed ont, bnt on the other hand the resem-blances are much greater than, for in-stance, can be made ont with regard to the existing animals of Australia and of Africa. It wonld seem as if, in fact, some of tho species of animals now in-habiting South America had been evolved from the same original types as those of Australia. Marsupial or pouch bearing animals are to be found on the other as well as on this side of the Pacific. The typ08 are different, but sufficiently akin to denote a common ancestry. Where, then, may we look for the traces of those animals which were the progenitors of the fauna of both sides of the Pacific ocean?

A probable answer is now being sup-plied through the conjecture that within a comparatively recoilt geological period there existed a great Pacific continent. The sea has covered almost the whole of its vast, area, and only afew of its mouu-laiu peaks yetexist in the form of islands dotting over the surface of the great peaceful ocean. "Whether man was on tho earth a t any time during the period of tho existence of this continent must probably remain a moot point, but the existence of remains of buildings on some of the Pacific islauds resembiing those of

the race who preceded the Aztecs of South America has been pointed to as a proof that such was the case.

At the remote time when the bones of these newly discovered marsupials were instinct with life i t would seem most likely that the higher portions of Aus-tralia formed the outlying peninsulas or islands of the Pacific continent, and per-haps the line of the present Lakes Frome, Mulligan and Gregory was the shore of a large sea, from which clouds would be formed by evaporation and condensed in the form of rain. In no other way can we account for the existence on the slopes of the ranges of Mounts Freeling, Sewe and Hnpelflas of such gigantic veg-etation as wonld be required to sustain the monstrous fauna of thoee days. Im-agination stands appalled a t the effort to conceive the vastness of the time which has elapsed since tbeae forma of animal life became extinct. Yet. as Hugh Miller once remarked: "Wha t a mere begliming of geological history does not the epoch of the old coast line form? It is but a starting point from the recent period, Not a single shell seems to have become extinct during the last 6.000 years."— Adelaide Observer.

The tune of "Yankee Doodle" has had seven or sight treatises written upon it in the last 80 years, ascribing i t to vari-ous dates and origins, even back to The Netherlands and the days of Cromwell and the Charleses. Dr. George Grove of London, author of the "Dictionary of Music and Musicians," has investigated thoronghly the various musical libraries and the British museum in England, finding no traces of it whatever, thus ex-ploding all the mystical, traditional and apochryphal accounts thereof.

Bnt "Yankee Doodle" had an origin and has a history. It was written by Dr. Richard Schnchburg, whose com-mission dates 1787, in the French and Indian war of 1755 under General Jef-frey Amherst and was intended as a "take off" on the "rag. tag and bobtail" recruits of the colonies thai; cgme into the army. It "took" so well, however, that the Americans have ever adopted it and would not part with it for anything. The first words.

Father nnd 1 went down to camp,

were in the Boston Journal in 1768, and the first record of the tune is in Arnold's "Two to One." 1780, so that "Yankee Doodle," although written by a British surgeon, is really American.—Boston Transcript.

A n t h r a x I n M u d of Sheup Wel l* .

An epidemic of splenic fever broke out among somesheep ou a farm in the south of Rmisia. Thinking that the disease might be connected with the use of a particular well water, the matter was baoterioiogically examined. Diatroptoff was unable to discover the anthrax ba-cillus in the water, but an investigtiLion of the mnd a t the bottom of the suspected well revealed the presence of an organ-ism, which, on inoculation into animals, was proved beyond doubt to be the ba-cillus anthracis. On the well being closed, no further cases of anthrax oc-curred.

That the germs of the anthrax had iu some manner gained access to the well is certain aud opens up the possibility of the communication of this disease by means of drinking water. Moreover, the likelihood of such contamination taking place through the drainage from soil points to tho desirability of destroying the carcasses of infected animals by cre-mation rather than burial . -London Na-ture.

Hedingham castle, with its 2,000 aores of land iu the Colne valley, was offered for sale at the mart. Tho most interest-ing feature of the propertj' is the raag-nificent Norman keep, an almost perfect ipecimen. Queen Matilda, wife of King Stephen, Is reported to have died in the castle, which was the stronghold of the Earls of Oxford from the conquest, and In the reign of King John it sustained two sieges. Uufo-tuuately not all the historical associations combined could call forth a single bid, and it had to be withdrawn.—London Telegraph.

ning May I ask bis nameT The gentleman, who was one intro-

duced to Dorison through the maneuver-?ng of Net t leman. laughed as he replied:

" T h e common experience- Every one is a t t rac ted by i t I tell him that , like the t radi t ional g i r t hp carries his for-tune in his face He is as good a fellow as i t indicates His n a m e is"

At t ha t moment a gent leman with a lady on ei ther arm addressed the speaker, and the Bentence was stopped short of t he information it was to convey. Lift-ing his ha t to Dorison with request to be excused, he offered his a rm to one of the ladies and walked away.

Dorison was disappointed, but he con-soled himself with the thought tha t the informat ion was not last, only delayed, d n c e he oould soon bud the gentleman who possessed i t

Qui te excited he strolled down the street and entered t ha t great thorough-fare, the Hoffman House. Having made a t ou r of the corridors and the a r t gal-lery wi thout finding any one he knew, be tu rned to go out, when he saw the man wi th the t h u m b enter the door.

T o his great surprise, also, be saw the young m a n whom he had sceu twice be-fore t ha t day under most dissimilar d r -cumstanoes—the insolent young man— s ta r t o p f rom a corner and address the other

T h e m a n in whom he, Dorison. had so great an inierest returned a cold and un-mis takably haughty bow and passed on. while t h e other colored, f rowned and re-turned t o his corner.

The man with t h e t h u m b supplied himself with a c igar a t t he case, went ont again, and leaping into his cab was driven off

••Strange." mut tered Dorison, - tha t t h a t m a n should cross m y pa th three t imes today, ending u p wi th showing be knows the m a n I want to know so badly.*'

Blushlni; uud llUnchlug. Blushing ia not a n ar t . Neither is it

au absolute eign of iii breeding, as eom^ unkind folk maintuln. The fact ia it is jus t as na tura l fur some people lo blueii on one occasion as it ia for olliers lo tu rn jiale on another . The same laws of na-ture which govern the one rule govern the other. The capillaries or small blood vessels which connect the arteries and veins in the body form, part icularly over t h ; cheeks, a network so fine that it is necessary to employ a microscope t o dis-tinguish them.

Ordinarily the blood pusses through these vessels iu norn a volume, leaving only the natura l con.p. .;ion. Bnt when some sudden emotion takes inwsession of the heart its action increases, and an electric thril l ins tant ly leaps to the cheeks. Tho thril l is nothing more than the rush of blood through the invisible capillaries. The color is nothing mom than the blood j u s t beneath the delicate surface of the skin. The causes tha t bring about this condition in the circu-lating system are called mental stimuli. They consist of joy, anger, shame and the many other emotions.

Sudden horror, remorse or fear , on the cont rary , infiueuce the nerves which control the blood vessels, and the face becomes white. Blushing and pallor re-sul t f r o m the sudden action of the mind on the nervous system. S i if t he mind be forewarned and prepared for emo-tions both habits can a t least be partially overcome. But when the nervous sys-tem is highly s t rung i t would be a life-long if not fu t i le task to endeavor to ef-fect a perfect cure. I t is the sensitive, nervous gir l who blushes easily, while the girl stolid by n a t u r e or who by edu-cation has her nerves under perfect control seldom blushes.—Philadelphia Times.

How a Logbook la Kept. How m a n y landsmen know how a log-

book is wri t ten up? I t seems j u s t as complicated as double entry bookkeeping when one does not know, but a f t e r a lit-t le ca re fu l a t tent ion and s tudy it 's as easy t o keep a logbook as to eat hot gin-gerbread. There is a list of le t ters ar-ranged, and they look like so much Greek t o the uneducated.

The let ter b, fo r instance, s tands for blue sky, whether there be clear or hazy atmosphere; c means cloudy or detached opening clouds; d denotes drizzling rain; a small j , fog; capi ta l F, thick fog; g, gloomy, da rk weather ; h, hail; 1, light-ning, and m , misty or hazy so as to in-ter fere wi th the view.

The letter o represents overcast or hen th* whole sky is covered with one

impenetrable cloud. Passing showers are noted by the le t ter p , and q indicates the weather to be squally. Continuous ra in is indicated by a n r, snow by an s and t h u n d e r by a t . Any ugly threat-ening appearance iu the weather calls for the le t ter u , and visibility or distant objects, whether the sky be cloudy or not , is represented by the le t ter v. A small w is wet dew. A fu l l point or dot under any let ter denotes an extraordi-nary degree. As an example of how the le t ters are used t ake q p d 1 t This reads very hard squalls and showers of drizzle, accompanied by l ightning with very heavy thunder . Numera l s denote the force of the wind. A cipher indi-cates calm, I l ight air, 2 light breeze, 3 gentle breeze, 4 moderate breeze, 5 f resh breeze. 6 s t rong breeze, 7 modera te gale, 8 f resh gale, 9 s t rong gale, 10 whole gale. 11 s torm, 12 hurricane.

How Iho "Acute Mania" Rosemblea One of tbe Mott Breaded of All Ulseases.

"The re has been an unusual number of deaths recently f rom alleged hydro-phobia." said an insanity expert to a Star reporter yesterday. "However, we 'mad doctora' do not share tho popular belief respecting tha t coniplaiut,

"1 was ot l led in the other day to at-tend the case of a young woman who was dying with all tho symptoms of so called hydrophobia. She w a s in convul-sions. When offered water in a tin re-ceptacle, she bit right through the sheet metal. S:.. barked now and then like a dog and frothed at the mouth.

"Tiio average gepcral pract i t ioner would have dingnored the case as hydro-phobia off hand, Bnt there was one ob-jection to that theory—the patient had never been bitten by a J o g or by any-oilier animal unless it were an insect, Not only was there no question of mad dog, but l here was no dog a t all in the 'history' of the disease. The latter was nothing more nor less t han what the insanity specialist terms 'acute mania, '

"Acute nia;.ia is a complaint which j manifes ts itself in all of the symptoms ] — which are commonly at t r ibuted lo hy- Lv Chicago drophobia. The patient is th rown into ' , ' v

convulsions at the sight not only of 'j!i».?i"i'.rjct water but of food, such manifestat ions ' ^ n d Rapids varying in different cases. Barking like e

a dog, f ro th ing a t tho mou th and bit ing tonla at whatever is within reach are quite [ o B O M C j c t

usual. The nnfor tnna te m u s t b--? served with both food and water in tin recepta-cles to avoid danger. In nine cases out of ten death ensues.

"Ls there no danger, then, in being bit-ten by a rabid dog? Certainly there is— very great danger. Wha t is the ma t t e r with such a dog? Ho is at tacked by a
