Those who have the honor of her ac- quaintance, says London Sketch, aro Well aware that Mrs. Andrew Carnegie herself possesses a very strong, though thoroughly feminine personality, and that many of her distinguished hus- band's schemes for benefittin- his fel- low creatures, have been, if not actu- ally evolved, greatly assisted by her shrewd intellect and kindly heart. Mrs. Carnegie has a very retiring personal- ity, but, in spite of her look of youth, She was before her marriage personally concerned with various New York phil- anthropic societies, and as Miss Louise Whitfield she Was well known as a worker among the poor of America's, greatest business city. A. Whitfield went over in the Mayflower, and so Mrs: Carnegie may claim to be in a true sense an old Colonial dame. The great millionaire and his wife have but one child, little Margaret Carnegie, and their happiest months , each year are spent with her at Skibo Castle, the bl);autifui place in Sutherland, whk:h has now ben for a long time the great ironmaster's chosen hone. Mrs. Car- negie entertained the Xing of Skibo on two occasions, but she and her husband avoid society, in the ordinary sense of the word, and are quite content to en- tertain only their intimate friends and those strangers who are honestly in- tersted in the many charitable, political and social schemes to which the master of Skibo Castle is devoting the active eveinnng of his days. THIRD DEGREE IN ROUMANIA. — z Sweating Process by Which Confessions Are Forced From Prisoners. 'The prisoners in our country are treated like kings and princes as com- pared with those of Roumania," said John T. Elcalls, of Portland, Me. "I chanced to he m Roumania about six months ago and saw a man arrest- ed. Being curious, I determined to watch and learn what they did with him. He was not tried. and released the next day, as he would have been in this country, but was subjected to mediaeval tor- tures. He was whipped with the so- called sand sausage, a bag filled with wet sand. This instrument of torture inflicts terrible pain, but leaves no marks whatever on the body of the cul- prit. - "This particular prisoner was tor- tured in order to wrest from him a confession whether or not the kissing of an actress had been the result of a preconcerted conspiracy. He denied it, and was then treated to the joys of the "ash bag"—that is, his head was put in a bag filled with ashes. The jailers beat with a stick upon the bag, causing the ashes to penetrate into the eyes, mouth, nostrils and ears of the pris- oner. "The process was then wound up by what is known do the `truth finder,' a sort of wooden forceps by which the temples of the prisoner are compressed. This was too much for ,the man. He confessed a lie. "I was glad to learn a few days later, however, that the torturers had been removed from office for their unseemly work." Coughing is an outward sign of inward disease.

"Well, that is an easy question known to all vendors of the article. "It chanced that in 1854 the journey from New Orleans to New York was a considerable trip. A certain lady Mrs. .Albert Cashingor—made the discovery. "Mrs. Cashingor's baby was so ill that she realized that it would be necessary to make a trip to New York to receive ex- pert medical attention if she hoped to save the child's life. But to travel that long distance the child had to have milk. Milk wouldn't keep fresh more than a few hours. So here she was, kept back from making the trip merely because ails could not supply the child with fresh • milk. "In her despair she began to experi- went to see if she could not preserve milk the same as she did jelly or any- thing else. She bit upon a plan which seemed to give satisfaction. So she pre- served several big jars of. the stuff, put it upon a sailing vessel and made the ,.trip. The child fed upon the milk and was nourished. "In•.New York several nien learned of her discovery. They tried to snake some of the condensed milk in the man- ner that she had told them, but failed. :They .followed her to New Orleans, and there she unwittingly unfolded her valu- able secret. On the island of Galveston these nien started a, small factory and there the first salable condensed milk was made. "The woman died poor. The manufae- Curers made a fortune. Now iondensed I milk is sold in every part of the world." --Louisville Herald.'

It was only after Selkirk had watch from his familiar lookout, in fair weat er and foul, for more than four yea, that he was finally rewarded by t sight of his old ship. When Capt. Da] pier landed upon the beach Selkirk w: already standing on the edge of the fo est, waving a white flag. In honor of t visit he wore his last shirt, which he h carefully kept for years for this occ sion. The captain afterward noted in h •account that Selkirk spoke in a voi which, for all his pains, sounded scarce human. His feet had been hardened lit leather from long exposure. For man weeks he refused to touch any liquo nor had he any appetite for civilize fods. Selkirk greeted his old shipmat with a delight that may be imagine and before leaving his island he ante. tained the ship's crew in his "louse" The island was visited but once b any ship during Selkirk's long exile. Spanish ship once landed on the islan a small company, who caught a flcetin glimpse of Selkirk. In those days th Spanish were the deadly enemies of th English, and doubtless Selkirk had r cognized the ship'e colors from his look out, and drawn his own. conclusions. I the story of Crusoe, it will be remem bered, Defoe makes much of„ this vise of the Spanish, and has them prostrat themselves before Crusoe as the "gov ernor of the island." As a natter of fact however, Crusoe (or Selkirk) played much less dignified part than Defo would have us believe. The Spanish sho at and chased him for some distane without success. A bulldog which the, had brought ashore was pressed into th service; but Selkirk, from his Ion training with the goats, outran the bull dog. Growing tired of the chase, Selkir finally climbed a tree. The Spanis built a fire and canned near his hidin place, but finally left without discove ing him. The solitude and many hardships o this lonely life would doubtless has - driven most men crazy. Selkirk, ho ever, kept his wit throughout it all, an when he finally returned to Scotian after an absence of eight years, was abl to take np his old life where lie ha chopped it, and. despite his barbarou life, was still a civilized pian. --St. Nish alas for April. CANNON AND CLOCK, Sun 10'ires a Sainte as it Passes the RtS'ridIan. . • • Striking clocks aro common enough, but a sten dial whieh gives audible indi- cation of the time will be a novelty to a great many persons, although it is not entirely new. In fact, it ought be said to be quite old, for a combination of a cannon and clock did duty at the gar- den of the Palais Royale during the I+fends Revolution. At that time it was quite the thing for the fashionables of the city to visit the gardens every day and set their watenes by the salute which was fired by old Sol himself as he crossed the meridian line. This cur- ious combination is made the subject of a sketch in the Revue Internationale de 1Olorlogerie, anda a translation of that article was made for the Jeweler's Cir- cular. This curious solar clock is, with the aid of a level, placed on a base in such a way that the trestles carrying the lens are in the meridian. The cannon is pointed to the north. This dial is divid- ed into sections of five minutes. Under these conditions an eye, a little prac- ticed, can easily read the minutes at any time of the day. The time indicated by this solar clock is true solar time, which must be converted, like that of all clocks of this class, by means of a set of tables. In order that the cannon shall be dis- ehargen nt noun by means of the lens, a curve, has been described having the fnrnu of the figure 8, representing the ris- ing and setting, of the sun for each half "'tied. to. receive 1:h ems_ THE MATTER WITH THE MINISTR Prof. Briggs' address on theologica education frankly stated a truth 'ethic the friends of a learned ministry woul do well to ponder. It is that one reaso why so few strong men are now .bein drawn to the ministry is that theologi c l investigation is not allowed to b as free as are all other graduate studio. In law, in. medicine, in all branches o seience, the young student knows tha he may puursue his inquiries fearlessl3 form his own convictions without let o hindrance, and be sure of a welcome- fo whatever truth he may be able to di cover.

We rise to make plain talk on a theme that is big in the thought of the girl. The theme is man and the choice of a life mato for a maid. The dear young thing will bear in mind that a `freak hat," a foul pipe, tan shoes shaped like grown hams and a pair of fierce socks do not, of need, go to make up the best sort of man to tie to. The scarf and the vest. their check, tint or noise do not take a place in the worth of the brute who must soon or late serve the soft sex. It is to say, then, that the huds make the dude, but do not make the real man. The girl who thinks a dude is all right is, not the girl we wish to talk to on this line. For those who like that sort the dude is a]1 right. The maid who seeks, as is right, real joy in life with. a man; the maid who has the heart to make a home a place of bliss, will pass by the one who thinks of dress and shine and style more than he think of the world's call on mind or heart. A good man to tie to is the man who thinks first of all of his job and of his stand in the town, The staid, safe, true, plain, square, white - brow ed, clear-eyed, pure -lipped yeamg man is the boy to plaee bets on in the home game or in such games as one may choose.—Marion, Ind., News -Tri- bune. Ask for Minard's and take no Other. A Good Word for Old Alen. In his recent eloquent and suggestive speech at the Montauk Club dinner given in celebration of his seventieth birthday, Senator Depew was able to offer a strong array of facts in refutation of the oft-� repeated statement that all the best work of the world is being carried on by young nien. "A coterie of elderly Senators," said Mr. Depew, "in conjunc- tion with the Speaker of the Ilouse of Representatives, who is of their period, are the real rulers of our republic. Rob- erts, in his seventieth year, conducted the the South African campaign and retriev- ed as far as possible, the blunders of the juniors, while in another sphere Commo- dore Vanderbilt, who up to the age of 'seventy-one had accumulated $17,000,000, added -to it $^00,000.000 more from sev- enty-one to eighty-three." No better evidence, it may be added; could have been afforded in support of this same contention than the presence of Senator Depew himself, to whom the years seem to bring no change nor any diminution of activity in many fields of thought and effort. Those people who have under- taken to establish a "dead -line" at sev- enty in a man's capacity for usefulness must surely leave the junior Senator from New Fork out of their reckoning.— Leslie's Weekly. Keep Minard's Liniment in the Clouse. She Knew It. (Oswego Times.) A school teacher asked one of her pu- pils the other clay who Nero was. The only response came from a little fellow, who held up his hand. "Mink," said the teacher, "do you know who Nero was?" "Yes'm," he answered proudly; "he's the one we sing about in the Sun- day School." The teacher could not re- call any particular religious music de- voted to Nero. "What is the song, Bob- bie?" she asked. "Nero, My God, to Thee," came the confident answer.

The English woman's foot is getting bigger. This announcement is made by a German newspaper, which lays the burden of blame on the tendency to sports, developed in the nineteenth cen- tury.

A special mouthpiece for the public telephones has been introduced in Ger- many with the object of avoiding the spread of diseases carried by the con- densed moisture of the breath. A pad of a large number us discs of paper, with a hole in the middle, is inserted in the mouthpiece, and the upper disc of paper is torn off after every conversa- tion.
