While workmen were taking sand out of the rirer bed near the stone bridge they fonnd the skeleton of a flood vic tim. A large number of men are at work every day and also at night in the bed of the river in a search for valu ables. Local officers say that the craze has reached such a pitch that the river bed Is seldom Resorted at any hour of the flay or night now, every find of any value being magnified until the fever has caught every idler in the place and several who have given up steady em ployment at surVpay to seek their for tunes among the remains of those who lost their lives and belongings in the flood. Some valuable finds have been made, two of them during the last 24 hours. One man came upon a crock buried in the sand, with its cover on, in which he found 18 solid silver spoons, 13 solid sil ver forks and a heavy silver cup inlaid with gold. Another found a package of gold eagles mixed with some 5 gold pieces, in all 380. wrapped in what was either a woolen cloth or an old stocking, which was rotted to a pulp in most places. Three prospectors, who have been digging in partnership, have taken out spoons, forks, silverware, jewelry, vases and in several instances valuable unbroken cut gloss pieces, and have al ready sold more than :I00 worth of the stuff to dealers in Pittsburg. One of the ghastliest mementos which the findor is preserving as a relio is a plain gold ring, close to the frame of most of the hand, from which the flesh has long been gone, the ring being kept on by the finger being crooked and the joint not having fallen apart at the an gle There are three fingers on the hand left, evidently those of a lady, as the ring would probably not have been worn by a child, and the skaleton is too small for a man. Johnstown Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch. A Telegraph Line llcfure Morse's. Honor to the polncers in tho vast field of science! Mr. John Sime lias published at tho Chiswick Press in pamphlet form a very interesting memoir of Sir Francis Ronalds. Twenty years before Wheat stone and Cooke or Morse had patented their improvements in the telegraph, in deed while the first two wero respective ly lads of 12 and 14 years of ago, Ro nalds had sent messages over eight miles of overhead wires of his own construc tion and had laid and worked a service able underground lino of telegraph of sufficient length to duinonstruto tho practicability of communication ly tele graph between long distances. Details of his overhead telegraph wires were published by him in 1823. Ro nalds' residence at Hammersmith, where these experiments were carried out, is the house now and for long past occu pied by Mr. William Morris, the poet, who has caused a tablet to be placed on tho wall bearing the inscription, "The first electric telegraph, eight miles long, was constructed here in 1810 by Sir Francis Ronalds, F. R. S.," etc. Au autotype facsimile of a portrait of this father of electric communication ac companies the publication. London Telegraph. Bistort's Dual Mature.

Weeks before tho royal wedding it was openly whispered that tho Duko of York, a gallant sailor and n gentleman, had made a false step, hnd boon forget ful of his princely and knightly duties and obligations, and had, In fact, been secretly married and involved himself in a mesalliance, repugnant to his sense of honor and illegal in the eyes of tho well known statute law. That law is simple. None of our blood royal can legally con tract marriage without the consent of the reigning sovereign. Morganatic marriages have been recognised as such, and such love inspired sanctity as at taches to these unions when faithfully adhered to. The world knows all about them and sympathizes with them. But what said the quidnuncs, the tattlers, the irresponsible, the chattering spar rows who build under the eaves of pal aces? Blankly this, that George of Wales was married; that the name of the place and the name of the lady, alleged to be the daughter of a naval officer of high degree, were known, and both names and places changed and fluctuated as the price of scandal shares rose or fell in the gossip market. Like ill winds, the ugly rumor grew apace over the dinner table and afternoon teapot. Men talked of it more shame to them women mur mured it with giggles and Innuendo; the very "outsiders" got hold of it, and all the time the story was positively and ab solutely untrue. Think you for an in stant that the head of our church would have married our prince and princess had he not first satisfied himself, as we have reason to know he did, that the silly story was wholly untrue, absolutely baseless? The question carries its own answer. We contradict it direc tly with authority. London Gentlewoman. A Woman Who Oo Along. The ability of a woman to get on alono in the world is sometimes questioned by her big brothers. But there are plenty of instances where women have been left in circumstances which would try the powers of the stoutest hearted man to the utmost and have come out tri umphant. One of these was mentioned to a reporter the other day in connection with a rough side hill farm in a remote part of Bn inland town. "There," said our informant, pointing to the place, "lived Aunt Abby S when her hus band died. She then had three tm:.ll children, and another was born soon after. The farm was in poor condition and had about all the mortgage it con 11 bear. Her husband's old father, feeble and fussy, was left on her hands. "Did she send the old man to the poor farm, think you? Not a bit of it. She kept him a year or two, and he was so fussy she couldn't live with him. Then she hired a neighbor to take him, and Mia paid his board 13 years, when he died. She raised her children and brought the farm into good condition. She pai 1 the mortgage, and when she died lie left a good property free and clear of nil debts. Tho boys hadn't tho old lady's spunk, for there's a mortgago up there now, and nothing in the world but lazi ness did it. They had everything left ready to their hands and ain't had no drawbacks, 'cept Iosin their mother, but somehow the weeds have got the start of 'em, and I guess they'll keep it." Low iston Journal. Will's Crave. "That grave on the right hand of the path as you go down to the porch door; that heap of airth with no growth, not one blade of grass on it that's Will Pooley's grave that was hanged unjust ly." "Indeed! But how came such a shock ing deed to be done?" "Why, you see, sir, they got poor Will down to Bodmin, all among stran gers, and there were bribery and false wearing, and an unjust judge cumu down and the jury all bad rascals, tin and copper men and so they all agreed together, and they hanged poor Will. But his friends begged the body und brought the corpse home here to his own parish, and they turfed the grave, und they sowed the grass 20 times over, but 'twas all no use, nothing would ever grow he was hanged unjustly," "Well, but, Tristam, you have not told me all this while what this man Pooloy was accused of; what had he done?"

PUladelnuia Press. Experience With Lightning. Ernst Tobel, whoso little girl Llzxle Was killed by lightning recently, is re covering, and to a reporter told how he felt when the bolt struck him: "W were hurrying along the road and watch ing the clouds that were coming up rap idly. It hadn't begun to rain, although a few drops had fallen. All of a snddon there was a terrible glare of light in my eyes, which blinded me so I could not see anything. The crash of thunder must have been very loud, though I enn hardly remember hearing it. At the same time ihat I saw the light I felt as thongh something had hit me a terrible blow on the back of my legs. The shock was a hard one, and I went over on my face. It seemed as if my legs had been knocked right out from nuder me. I must have been unconscious for a time. When I came to myself, I saw the others on the ground, all except Mr. Meyer. "I tried to get np, but somehow I couldn't stand on my legs. I fell down gain and managed to crawl over to whero my little girl was lying. Mr. Meyer ran for help, and I lay on the ground there until the ambulance came, when I was lifted in and taken home. I felt no pain then and haven't since, ex cept a kind of numb pricking In my legs as if they were asleep. It makes me very nervous and restless, but I do not suffer. I have no control over my legs below the knee, but the doctors think they will bring me round all right. 1 think my legs are not as stiff as they were. They have been rubbed a good deal, and the doctor has put something on them, and I guess I will be all right again soon." Brooklyn Eagle. Days of Gunpowder Numbered. It begins to look as if the days of gun powder as a charge for the guns in the British navy were numbered. Recent experiments just concluded at the gov ernment proofbutts, Woolwich, appear to prove the decided superiority of cor dite. A 8 inch quick firing gun was loaded with 9 pounds 13 ounces of the ordinary black gunpowder and yielded a velocity of 1,800 feet per second, with a pressure strain on the gun of 10 tons per square inch. The same gun was charged with 14 pounds 8 onnces of cordite and gave a velocity of 2,274 feet per second and a pressure of 15.2 tons. More im portant still, after 250 rounds had been fired there were no signs of erosion. The new substance is manufactured at the government powder mills, Walthnm Abbey, and contains 66 per cent of nitro glycerin. 87 of guncotton and 5 of min eral jelly. The velocity of the shot nlong the bore of the 0 inch gun was calculated to the millionth of a second from the first moment of being set in motion. Minute as tills may appear, Lieutenant H. Watkin, R. A., has invented an in strument which, it is said, will measure fractions of time to the nine-billionth part of a second. Chicago Tribune. Asleep on Niagara's llrlnk. A story of a man snatched from the brink of the gorge is related by James lo Blood and John Thomas. Monday night while walking np the long, narrow, winding roadway from the Maid of the Mist landing to the top of the gorge on the Canadian side, their dog became uneasy when they Beared the top and began to bark loudly. The men made a search along the high bank, and to thoir surprise found a young man lying on the very edge of the bank, with his head banging over. He was in a stupor or sleep, and his hat had fallen over the cliff, and any move on the part of the man would have hurled him over. The men resolved to grab the man sud denly and pull him buck out of danger before he could awake. This they did. He was found to be Charles H. Moffat of Buffalo, a wealthy young man who had been on an extended spree. Niaga ra Falls Cor. Rochester Union. Tan Shoes- The tan leather shoe is abroad in the land, and no self respecting man, wom an or child is without a pair or two. They are worn with that charming lack of discrimination that is one of our na tional characteristics in matters of dress. Their proper use is with neglige or so called "outing" costume, but they are to be seen on men wearing frock coats and silk hats, and not long ago I saw a chap one evening on the street in dress clothes, dinner coat, etc., of most correct style, terminating at one end in a straw hat and at the other in a pair of russet shoes. I really cannot see how we ever existed without this most comfortable and use ful shoe. Only a few years ago and the tan leather shoe was unknown. Thus speedily does a luxury become a neces sity.

And now an authority inveighs against steaming the face as a preventive against wrinkles, alleging that this is the swift est and surest process by which to pro duce them. "The second layer of the skin becomes attenuated, and there la a decreose In bnlk of the superficial Iny ers," is the technical explanation which the laity will not understand and does not need to. The simple fact is suffi cient. But why shonld wrinkles be snch a red rag to every woman? They must Inevitably come if one lives long enough, and barring the suppression of the bnbifc of frowning and the avoidance of dan gerous cosmetics it seems useless to light them. Time was when we were taught that they were the lines of character, and time is when character, as shining forth in the expression of the face, makes tho wrinkles forgotten. Watch the soul be hind the wrinkles. Take as much earn of that as you strive to of the outer layer of cuticle, which is its external sem blance, and the wrinkles will be lost or overlooked in the serene and steady eye and qniet bnt smiling mouth. "Think lofty things," says a preacher, "and the countenance will show the thought." New York Times. The Natives Had Hcruplos. Once an amusing story was told me by a South sea trader, writes Mrs. Rob ert Louis Stevenson. He had been in the habit of carrying all sorts of tinned meats, which tho natives bought with avidity. Each tin was branded with a colored picture a cow for beef, a sheep for mutton and a Ruh for sardines. It happened that the firm who fur nished the mutton thought it a good plan to change their labels, that their goods might be more easily distinguished from others. The mark chosen was :i red dragon. The natives came with their copra to trade as usual. The new tins were shown them, bnt they recoilod with hor ror and gave the trader to understand that they had had some religious in struction and were not to be deluded in to eating tinned devil. The trader was forced to eat his stock of mutton himself, for not a native could be persuaded to touch the accursed thing. "More Haste, Worse Speed." Of all the "tournaments" I ever saw, one among the "dairy maids" at an ugri cultural show was perhaps the last to associate itself witli that beroio proced ure which such a word suggests. There were about 40 of them armed with "churns" and started at the suuio mo ment to make butter ugainst time. Eacii came provided witli a watch, and tho temptation was almost irresistable to turn the handle of the macliino as quick ly as possible. But no, butter must be "humored," not driven. The silent lists were filled with tho provokiugly delib erate "flip, flop" of 40 churns. One of the slowest combatants won the race. I never realized more plainly that "most haste is worst speed."
