Editor Matthews’ Prayer Book.
When the late Rev. Dr. Ingersoll died
in 1833. the present writer was called on
to report the funeral services. In writ
ing up the account afterward occasion
arose to make a direct quotation from
tho Rook of Common Prayer, and, not
finding the volume on the hook shelves
of the editorial room, the quest was pur
sued in Mr. Matthews’ private office.
“Haven’t you a prayer nook of your
own?” he asked. “Here, wait!” Taking
a morocco bound copy from his desk, lie
wrote on its fly leaf a line of presenta
tion, and “in memory of Dr. Ingersoll’s
funeral” added the date and his own
name, and, handing it to the reporter,
said: “There’s a present for you, Mr.
care to read it for the moral lessons it
contains, study it for the sake of its pure
English. There’s no better use of the
language to be found than in that hook.
I know that’s so,’ ” he added, with a thor
oughly characteristic touch of self ap
preciation, “because that is an edition of
the prayer hook that 1 read every word
of the proof on it myself!” The grateful
recipient has studied that cherished book;
from what motives no matter, save this:
he has searched its pages for typographi
cal or textual errors and hasn't found
one! A closer proofreader, a better
printer than Mr. Matthews never lived.

Syiid of Dazzling Whiteness.
Some sixty miles due north of El Paso
lies a formation of almost pure gypsum,
forming ranges of low, undulating hills,
without a speck of a mixture, and of a
dazzling whiteness. The gypsum occurs
irk the shape of a fine sand, and the dis
trict is some twenty-five miles long l>y
six or seven miles wide. The rays of the
sun are so strongly reflected from a bril
liant surface that traveling across the
country is almost impossible in summer
on account of the blinding glare and the
great heat generated. This gypsum
range is locally known as the White
Sands, and the White Oaks railroad
skirts the eastern border. In one locality
on the White Sands there is a natural
basin like depression, into which a num
ber of neighboring gullies and valleys
lead and concentrate, and this basin has,
for the first time within the memory of
man, been fiiied by rains, and over 300
acres have been covered several feet deep
and transformed into a lake. As the
bottom of this lake consists of the purest
gypsum, which has been by the water
cemented into a solid snow white mass,
it cannot drain olr except by the slow
process of evaporation, and when the
midday sun shines with its full force
upon the landscape, the effect of the re
flection is dazzling and magnificent be
yond description. There is, probably, no
similar scenery anywhere in America.—
El Paso Cor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Youthful Transgressors,
I believe that theologians, generally
speaking, fix the awakening of the juve
nile conscience at the age of 7; and I
think there is a holy man somewhere in
Alban Butler's “Lives” —but I cannot re
member his name now—who once in
vision (after a supper of pork chops, I
dare say), saw “babes, a span long,
crawling on the floor of hell.” But for
my part, in spite of these weighty au
thorities, I refuse to consider boys of 7
or 11 as rational creatures, and I suppose
that even the holy man above referred
to would have admitted that if his
“babes” had not happened to die at an
inopportune moment, they might by ju
dicious treatment have been reclaimed
and turned into decent citizens. 1 look
upon criminal boys of 11 in precisely the
same light as 1 look upon puppies that
bite or kittens that stratch. I will not
let them bite or scratch me if I can help
it But I do not regard the biting or
scratching from a grave moral point of
view.—London Truth.
The Suburbs of Melbourne.
One of the most pleasing features of
Melbourne is the nearness of the numer
ous suburbs which surround the city
proper. During the summer months in
tensely hot winds sweep over the city,
spreading discomfort broadcast. To es
cape from the debilitating influence of
these the Melbournites have only tospend
a half hour in the train and they are at
the seashore. Many of the suburban
places are called by very English names,
such as Kew, Brighton, Kensington,
Northcote and Newport. St. Kilda is
one of the more fashionable places of
residence, and it is here that part of the
play, “The Mystery of a Hansom Cab,”
was based, it is only three miles from
Melbourne and on the si lores of Hobson
bay. Numerous bathing establishments
and hotels cater to the visitor's comfort.

An Accommodating; Judge.
Dan Langley, a Georgia moonshiner,
was tried and convicted. At the trial he
told the judge that he was to he married
in a little over a month, and the judge
therefore sentenced him to imprisonment
for just one month. He was thus able to
quit jail on a Monday and start for his
home in Gordon county, where he was
to be married on the following Wednes
day. He was so thankful for the light
sentence that he promised to send the
judge a gallon of the best moonshine
whisky to begot.—Chicago Times.

Digging lor Gold.
Pulton Argus.
Quite a number of people have been
excited into a permiscuous digging for
buried treasure, two miles east of Dalton,
near the fork of the roads for Spring-
Place. As we get the story, some rail
road man entrusted with a letter from a
sick Louisiana soldier during the war,
which, in case of his death was to be
forwarded to a certain address. The
Federal occupancy of this section
delayed the sending of the letter, and it
was put away for safety, with private
papers, and forgotton. Recently itcau e
to light, and with a note of explanation,
was forwarded. It was not delivered,
but returned tc tin* writer. This letter
states that a certain amount of gold,
possibly $5,000 was buried mice- a
certain oak tree, which with the location
was fully described. 'The information
has leaked out, and the work of unearth
ing it has commenced in good earnest.'
The tree cannot be found but old
stumps that answer to a possibility, are
being dug around, till for several acres
is presented the appearance of a prairie
dog colony.
Met Springs.
Seven years ago my blood was badly
poisoned. Ulcers and boils breaking out
all over my body. The strong medicines
which I took brought on Rheumatism,
and I went to Hot Springs, Ark. for two
months, which seemed to cure the disease,
but it was only smothered, for on my
return home the horrible disease appeared
again worse than before. I then dis
carded all other treatment and took
Swift's Specific, and its use cured me per
fectly well, I have been well about seven
years, and no return of the disease.
