- ; FATHER KNEIPP.
A Priest: Known Throughout the World
by 'Reason of 'His “'nter Cure.
Sebastian Knelpp was born on May
17, 1821, in Stefansried, Bavaria. He
was a Weak and sickly boy, and was
expected to die of consumption in his
youth: He became a weaver, and
followed that trade till he reached
his majority, when he turned to the
Church and to medicine. In 1848 he
began his experiments according to
the Ideas that have since made him
noted, and succeeded first in restoring
himself to perfect health. Then. he
began treating the country people
about him, and with a success that
caused his reputation to spread rap-
idly. His work in this way was con—
tinued for many years without pay.
A few years ago he published an ac-
count of his treatment, entitled, “My
Water Cure,” which made him still
more widely known. He had all these
years attended to his patients per-
sonally, giving them baths himself and
personally directing their treatment.
So great were the demands on his
time that finally the Knelpp-Vercin
was established, supported by charity,
to take charge of the work. Two years
ago :the Pope sent for Dr. Kneipp to
come to Rome and treat him for all-
ments that arose from a disordered
stomach, and in his case Dr. Kneipp
was highly successful. The Kneipp
institution is now an immense aflair,
caring for twelve hundred patients,
and with all conveniences, under the
direction of twelve resident physicians.
Father Kneipp’s system was intro-
duced into this country last summer,
when a sanitarium according to his
methods was established in New Jer-
sey. The chief elements of the sys-
tem are application of sunshine, fresh
air and water. Its most striking feat-
ure is the early morning walk, bare-
footed, in the dew, or even in the snow.
that is required of patients. Though
this has attracted the most attention,
there are other more important mat-
ters insisted on, such as bath-s of cer-
tain kinds and frequency, the use of
clothing of a sort to admit light and
air, the ~~ prohibition of alcohol, and
the limitation upon a meat diet—Nextr
York Tribune.
HE ENJOYED THE BOOK.
And was; Desirious of an opportunity to
Read the Second Volume.
The Prussians tell a good story of
an aide-decamp to the .King, Colonel
Malachowki. The man was an exceed-
ingly brave fellow, but very poor, and
the King, notng this, hit upon the fol-
lowing plan for presenting him with
some money without wounding his
feelings. He had a book hollowed out
and neatly bound in marocco.
he deposited five hundred crowns in
gold and then sent it to his aide. Ma~
lachowki met the King not long after,
and in response to the question “How
did you like the book?” he made the
following reply:
“Sire, I enjoyed the book immensely.
It was so excessively interesting that
I am more than impatient to receive
the second volume.” .
The King was mueh pleased at the
reply, and when the ofllcer’s birthday
came around he sent him another book
similar in every respect, but engraved
upon the front were the words, “This
work is complete in two volumes.”—
Harper’s Round Table.
Blind “'atcli-Vlakers.
There have been blind watch-makers.
In former years there was one living
at Holbeach, in Lincolnshire. His
name was Rippin, and although com~
pletely blind he could take to pieces
and put together again watches of
most delicate construction with sur-
passing ease. He was robbed once
of some of the tiny belongings of his
trade, such as wheels, hair-springs,
etc.; the thief was traced, and Rippin
identified and swore to his prOperty
by the touch.
At Barnstaple, too, In the early part
of the present century, there was
another such prodigy. His name was
William Huntley; he was born blind,
and was brought up by his father, who
was a clock and watch maker, to that
business. The inhabitants had great
faith in him, and he had plenty of
employment; musical clocks and
watches even were repel-red by him
without difficulty; and It is said that in
some cases where other tradesmen
had failed to discover a defect, he de
tected the fault, and set it right—-

Accomplishments of Royal Persons.
The Prince of Wales is said to have
learned in his youth to make stockings.
His son, the Duke'of York, learned
the trade of rope-making. His late
cousin, the Czar Nicholas II, could
plough, sow, and reap. The Emperor
William is a practical typesetter.
King Humbert is not only an excellent
shoemaker, but cobbles also to per-
fection. 0soar of vaeden handles 1the
axe with dexterity, like an approved
woodman, not yielding the palm in
this respect even to Mr. Gladstone.
Queen Victoria is exceedingly fond of
knitting.‘ Not many days ago she fin-
ished a woolen coverlid and presented
it to the oldest. and most deserving of
the inmates of an asylum for disabled
working women in thve'Isle of Wight.

It is sometimes an easy matter to fool
the public, but you can’t keep it up-
very long. They are sure to find you
out; and every time a man is fooled an-
other skeptic is made. Skepticism is
allowable when reading in a home
newspaper about some incident occur-
ring in San Francisco or Iowa, but the
circumstances are entirely different
when it; refers to some one right here
at home, friends and neighbors, people
you know, whom youvcan see, and with
whom you can talk it over. This is
the kind of evidence at the back of

Daughter c! How 2rd (lib?) or Brooklyn
Engaged to a Ere-m 'l Noblemnn.
New York, Aug. 173f-T213 engagement
of Miss Minnie Gibb, daughter uf Mr.
and Mrs. Howard Gibb, to the Count
Henri de Mcy, the only son of the Mar-
qui‘s'de 1‘.on of Paris, was announced in
Brooklyn today. The news came some-
what as a surprise to Brooklyn society.‘
Howard Gibb, the father of the young
woman, is a millionaire and a. member
of the firm of‘Mills & Gibb of this city
and Loeser‘ & Co. of Brooklyn. Miss
Minnie Gibb is his only child. Mr.
Gibb and daughter are now in Paris,
where they have made their homes for
‘seevral years past. When in Brooklyn,
they live at No. 189 Columbia Heights.
where they have entertained frequently
on a lavish scale.
Mis‘s Gibb is 23 years old and has
many accomplishments, having re-
ceived her education abroad. The mar-
riage will take place in the early spring.
The marquisate of De Moy is said to
be one. of the oldest and most distin-
guished in France. According to French
heraldry, the house dates back to 1210.
-The family, which originally spelled
the name DeMouy, originated in. Pi—
cardy, where are located two estates of
this name, one near St. Quentin and t3;-
yother near Beauvais. It is said that the
family has been twice allied with the
royal family of France and also with
the royal families of Portugal, Lor-
raine and Savoy. -
The Gibbs are well known in Brook-
lyn. Mr. Gibb is an expert whip and
is a member of the Hamilton, Brooklyn,
Montauk, Crescent Athletic~ and the
Riding and Driving clubs. 7
Mr. Howard Gibb corroborated this
morning the story of the engagement
of his daughter to the count. He said
that the arrangements for the wedding:
had not yet been completed.

Signs of a Subaqneons Eruption In Har-
rison Lake. 8. 0., Terrify Hotel Guests.
Vancouver, B. 0., Aug. 17.~—-Captain
Cooper of the steamship Courser, one
of the best knowu navigators in‘British
Columbia, who for years made frequent
trips between New Westminster and
Harrison lake, says that there is ever;-
sign at the lake of a renewal cf the
subaqueous volcanic activity long ago
deemed extinct in that region, though
the mineral hot springs of Agassiz on
'the lake are undoubtedly of volcanic
origin. The captain described the lake
as a. mass of muddy ferment, which he
can only attribute to a volcanic effort.
Captain Peel, government meteorolo-
gist at New Westminster, and one of
the ablest scientists of the province.
has long held the opinion that a. renewal
of volcanic activity on a greater or legs
scale might be expected near Agassiz
hot springs on Harrison lake, and goes
so far as to say that a disastrous, far-
reaching eruption is within the bounds
of possibility. He supports Captain
Peel’s opinion that in view of the influ-
ence of volcanic action on gold theup-
heaval may have a practical effect on
the fortunes of the Harrison lake min-
ing district.
The Agassiz hot springs hotels are
now crowded with summer visitors
from all over Canada. Of course the
lake is the center of attraction,
many nervous guests are fearful of a
tidal wave sweeping their temporary
homes a few miles inland, or some sim-
ilar nightmare. Hence the phenomenon
will excite much interest in and beyond
the Pacific province.
