Jears to have fallen heir to another

1er wrinkled face and enfeebled move-
nents. Twenty-seven years ago her

racted every tooth from her mouth.
About a year ago her health “com-
nenced to materially improve. Her
Itrength rapidly returned, her figure
Iecame more erect, her eyes brighter,
Ier movements mere elastic. Her hair
Ilso became perceptibly darker. Her
gums commenced to swell and finally

lair is now black. 'She has a. new and
Iubstantial set of teeth as white and

greatly increased; her strength has re-

His Attentive Aud ionce.
A well-known novelist delivered a
ecture recently in a New Jersey town
lot far from this city, in which he
'ead selections from his own works.
I-Iis reputation and the society that
snga‘ged him brought together an au-
iience composed of the best people of
'ihe neighborhood. After the lecture,
when people met, it was the proper
hing for one to ask the other:
f‘Were you at the lecture?” and the
. Inswer in every case was:
“0h."yes!. I was there, but I didn’t
tear a word. Did you hear the lec-
:ure?" , '
“Well, no! I was
souldn’t hear, cit-her.” .
A friend who met the novelist a
’ew days after his visit to the subur-
oan town asked him what kind of an-
iience he had and how he liked the
:Invn.
“It’s a fine place,” was the reply,
‘and I had the most attentive au—
lience thatI have .ever spoken to. No
me made a sound, and I didn’t have

.QHAPLAINS IN THENAVY.
Branch of tho Service About Which Lin-3‘
‘is Known.
Beyond the main fact that a clot-5:3?
man is alwaysto be found on board
a man-ofw'var the public knows hardly
anything of chaplains in the navy.
This is not due, however, to the un—
importance of the corps. At present
every chaplain with a single exception.
is actively employed eitheron a‘man-y
of—war or at an important shore sta-
tion.
There are but twenty-four chaplains
in the entire service and acquaintance
with the personnel of the corps leads
one to believe that the standard of fit-
ness has been kept high by the ap—
The regulations re-
quire that an applicant as chaplain be
between the ages of 21 and 25 years
and a minister in good standing in
his denomination. In addition to
these qualifications practice requires
the hearty and unequivocal indorse-
ment of high ecclesiastical authorities,
who are Willing to assume a good de-
gree of moral responsibility for the
appointment. Political influence of a
high order may be used to ,. bring the
applicant to the attention of the
President and Secretary of the Navy,
but can avail very little beyond this.
The chaplain, once appointed, ranks
as a. commissioned officer of the staff,
messes in the wardroom when on ship.
board and is entitled to a private
stateroom in the wardroom quarters.
,, He wears no uniform and in this
is the sole exception to the rule which
obtains on all the ships of our navy
and applies to all officers an enlisted
men, from the admiral of the fleet to
the humblest mess attendant. Noth-
,ing invidious is involved in this dis-
crimination and it is to be presumed
that if a majority of the chaplains
were to ask for a uniform it would
be granted. The chaplains as a. rule
dress in ordinary clerical suits, the
coats close buttoned and in blouse or
frock, according to circumstances. In
conducting divine service each chap-
lain is permitted to employ the order
used in his own denomination and may
also use the vestmen-ts of his church,
if any.—Chicago Chronicle.
SENSITIZING PAPER.
‘ A Prescription Which May Benefit Ama-
teur Photographers. .
There are two ways of sensitizing
paper, says Harper’s Round Table, in
an article on photography. One is to
apply the solution with a brush, and
the other is to float the salted paper
on the surface of the liquid. Thin pa-
pers like Rives photographic paper
take the solution quickly, and do not
require so many applications .of the
solution if it is applied with a. brush,
or so long a soaking if floated‘on the-
liquid, as do the heavy, rough papers
like W'hatman’s drawing paper or
crayon paper. . . ~
The paper is first salted; and it is
better to have this done by the deal-
er in photographic goods, . as it is
much-easier to apply the sensitive so-
lutionsthan it is {to ,salt the paper. it
photographic paper is used, ask for
per is used take it to the dealer and
have it salted. ,The expense is very
trifling, a sheet of salted paper cost-
ing only a center two more than the
plain paper. _ ' ‘ .,
The sensitizing solution is'made o
240 grains of nitrate of silver (60c)
and 5 ounces of distilled or filtered
water. Dissolve the nitratefof-ailver
crystals .in the waterjan'd then add
strong liquid ammonia drop by drop,
stirring the solution constantly, until
the brown precipitate which is formed
by the addition of the ammonia has
disappeared and the liquid is clear.
Not more than seventy-five drops oi
ammonia should be added ;to the solu-
tion. and if it does not clear when
this amounthas been added, clear the
solution by filtering.

THE AN‘I’IdUIfrv 0F ICE CREAM.
First Introduced into Paris, in 1774 and '
Called Iced Butter.
Ice‘cream is an older sweetmeat than
many would suppose. In the begin—
ning of the seventeenth century goblets
made of ice and also iced fruit, i. e..
fruit frozen over, were first brought to
table. The limonadiers, or lemonade
sellers, of Paris, endeavored to increase
the popularity of their wares by icing
them; and one more enterprising than
the rest, an Italian named Procopc
Couteaux, in the year 1660, conceived
the idea of converting such beverages
entirely into ice, and about twenty
years later iced liquors, i. e., liquors
changed-into ice, were the principal
things sold by the limonadiers. By
the end of the century iced liquors
were quite common in Paris. Ice cream,
or iced “butter,” as it was first called
from its supposed resemblance to that
substance, soon followed. It was first
known in Paris. in 1774.
I. The Due de Chartris often .went at
that rtime to the Paris coffeehouses to
drink a. gl-assof iced liquor, and the
landlord having one day presented him
'with his “arms” formed in edible rice,
this kind of sweetmeat became the
tashion.—7Gentleman’s Magazine.
Spurgeon and His Mother.
While attending the Church of Eng-
land college of St. Augustine Spur-
geon formed a strong conviction in.
favor of what was then called “holi-
ness” baptism. During a subsequent
visit to his mother the subject came
under-f discussion between them one
day and she . said to him: “Ah,
Charles, I often prayed the Lord to
.make you a Christian. but I never
Iasked that, you might become a Bap-
‘tistfl
“I could not,” he remarked in relat-
ing the incident, “resist the tempta-
tion to reply: ‘Ah, mother, the Lord
has answered your prayer with his
usual bounty, and given you exceed-
ingly abundantly above what you ask-
ea or thought.’ ”—Pittsburg Dispatch.
