And hope in his glorious eyes.

Origrinal Manuscript of the Book o!
Slcrmon Iji Discovered la
Illinois,
Considerable excitement has been '
created recently in southern Illinois !
over a discovery made by Marshal Pen- :
rod, who lives on a farm close to t'ac ;
village; of Dcngola, in Union ccuaty, :
says the Chitr.go Inter Ocean. I'enrod j
in digging a black stump out of a po- j
tato lisld, close to his residence, found
astor.e which was about a foot long and I
eight inches in diameter. The peculiar
shape of the stone, which resembled a ,
pocketbock, attracted his attention., ;
and iij)on close examination he found !
carved on its face in Kr.giish the foi-
lowing words: "This E,to;-.e contains j
the original manuscript of tbe book ol j
the Mormon. Joseph Smith." j
The ravages of time had apparently j
made little headway on the stone, una j
upon close examination he found th
stone was hollow. A hole had been !
drilled entirely through it, and at both ;
ends red cedar plugs had been driven ;
Upon removing one of the pings, sever- j
al sheets of paper, containing writing !
in hieroglyphics that cculd not be de- j
ciphered, were found. The characters !
are peculiar, following no known line i
of ancient writing. j
' At tiie bottom cf the last page was j
found written in English: "The liudet !

ARRESTS AT PARIS FAIR.
Police Report Also Tells of Strangle
Articles Found in tiie Groanda
of tiie KxiiotiitloD.
The exposition police report, just
out, shows a total of 13. OS? arrests
on the fair grounds. The causes are
thus divided, says the Chicago Trib
une: Murder, 4; murderous assaults, J15;
crimes against morals, 3C2; miner as
saults, 1.392; defacing property-, 401;
theft, 4,603.
Strangers arrested were 1.1S9. Cf
these 44 were Americans, which was
less than any other nation, except
Denmark and Polynesia, which had
one each. The total number of arti
cles found and turned over to the
police was 06.317, including a satchel
containing $45,700 in American money,
which never was claimed; more than
6,000 umbrellas, one set of false teeth.
24S single garters, 22 corsets wrapped
in newspapers or otherwise, three bur
glar's kits, live crosses of the Legion
of Honor. 14 foreign decorations, one
pair of lady's russet slippers, only
slightly used, and many other queer
articles.
This museum, with the exception of
what may be claimed before May
1, will be sold at auction for the bene
fit of charitv.
QUEER ACCIDENTS TO GUNS.

Censed Fear A in on a'
tae Crew.
While the Brirish battleship Thun
derer was olT Miiford Haven, "Wales,
not long ago a curious accident to
one cf her guns, caused much alarm
among her crew. A target, had been
put cut for practice with the ten-inch
brcechlonding runs. When one was
fired by electricity only a portion of
the- projectile was discharged, the
base plate of tne shot and a portion
of the frame being left ;'n the gun.
When the plate was removed the pre.;
sure of gas forced a portion of- the
projectile from the breech of the gun.
On the second gun being fired a hole
about three inches in diameter was
b'.own through the projectile, the
other part of the base plate being left
; behind. The base plate was in this
j case separated from the rest of the
j projectile. ,
j Such accidents are believed never
j previously to have occurred on board
nv s,nip. mere was mucn alarm
among these in the turret, as the
bursting of the guns was for a time
feared. It is suggested that either
the powder in the jrojectiles was
damp or there was water in the guns.
So far as can be seen both guns are
sound.

t t:
j1r,, v CHAPTER X.
The eighth day was characterized
by events which discouraged the pas
sengers, who were anxious to end
their long confinement to the ship.
A heavy fog had fallen durjng the
night and the vessel, with deafening
shrieks of the foghorn, was groping
her way as slowly as a great raft. A
delay cf not less than 12 hours might
be counted on, declared expert judges
of nautical matters.
Mrs. Goddard and Mrs. Nolan were
as usual on deck sitting side by
side when the second ofiicer passed.
He was hailed by an anxicus voyager.
"How long is tiiis going to last, real
ly?" asked the passenger.
"Oh, it's lifting rapidly," was the
answer. "You won't hear the fog
horn much longer. In fact, we are
running into quite a gale. It will
strike us about dark."
Mrs. Goddard nudged her compan
ion, and when the speakers had
walked on, she said in a whisper:
"Things are working beautifully ."
"Beautifully," echoed Mrs. Nolan,
whose heavy conscience had intensi
fied her natural dread ci dangers at
eea. ,
"Yes, bad weather is exactly what
I want." And the plotting woman at
once set herself to the study of storm
indications.
By eight, o'clock that night the sea
was recking, frothing, tossing' in fury.
The two women shut themselves in
their room and held a whispered con
ference over their final movements.
During his rounds oner the slippery,
spray-washed deck the captain rapped
et their door. Mrs. Nolan went to it.
"Passengers are forbidden to go on
deck," he said. ".Everybody be?ow
will stay downstairs. The wind is
j strong- and the sea high. Keep your
door locked. How is Mrs. Gcddard?"
"Thank you, sir, she seems a little
excited, but I think she will scon be
esleep," and she closed the door as he
walked away.
"That was a splendid reply," said
Mrs. Gcddard, approvingly. "Every
thing is working well; the deck will
be entirely deserted. To be on the
safe side, wait till ten o'clock. Ke
member, yoti are to do it all now. It
depends on you. If they press you
too hard for explanations, go into hys
terics. You surety can do that." 1
"I presume I can; but oh, my Lord!"
"Don't begin that; we are here for j
battle. Do you remember every de- I
tail novvV
"As if they made up my whole life
and my life depended on my knowing
them."
"Well, I think you'll do. Don't for
get to yell at the top of your lungs,
and if they should want to open the
closet don't let them do it, if you
have to knock somebody down."
"I'll prevent it if I can. It would
be awful for us to be caught in this.
We must carry it through."
"Be sure there is no cue looking
when when I am supposeu to make
the plunge." Mrs. Goddard made a
peep-hole at the side of the window
curtain, which was always drawn
down, and peered out on deck. "It's
as dark as Erebus out there," she
eaid.
Then they sat down and remained
silent till the bells struck the hour of
ten.
"Now, lock me in. Remember, when
the coast is clear for me to come
oat, you are to signal three times
softly so!" And Mrs. Goddard rapped
on the door of the closet with hpr
k n u el;
"I understand," said Mrs. Nolan,
firrnty. '-Now get in and let's hare
it over with."
"You needn't look so excited,"
smiled Mrs. Goddard, as she sat down
on the stool hi the closet and drew
her skirts round her ankles.
"I am net any more so than you
are," retorted Mrs. Nolan. '"I've seen
you in a good many tiht places, and
1 have never seen ;:ust such a funny
look about your mouth."
Mrs. Goddard made a failure of her
r.ext smile.
"I actually feel as if I were being
buried alive; ugh! Shut ine in and
act your part as if your salvation de
pended on it."
Mrs. Nolan made no response as she
shut the door; she seemed to have
lost her voice. She turned the key,
drew it from the lock, and put it into
her pocket. As she did so her fingers
touched its duplicate. This gave her
an idea, ar.d she rapped on the closet
dcor and then opened it.
'Well?" inquired the prisoner, with
a white, startled stare.
"I have both the keys," explained
Mrs. Nolan. "Perhaps "you ought to
keep one. If anything shouia nap
pen any accident to me you would
be in a fix. This morning 1 found
that the door could be opened from
the inside."
"Lucy, you are sharper than I am;
I never would Jave thought of that."
The ship rose on a great swell and
rolled far over on its side, throwing
Mrs. Nolan into the closet. She
braced herself against, the wall and
held on to the swinging door till
the ship had righted itself.
"Don't lose any more time," said
Mrs. Goddard. "Wait until we go over
on one of those swells and then give
the alarm."
. Mrs. Nolan locked the closet again
r.nd then went to the outer door and
opened it. A fierce wind .blew upon
uci- aim a, onnumg cloud of spray
drenched her to the skin. 'But when
it had lifted & little she looked out
and along the deck. No one wasia
Bight. The Cleopatra rose on a giant
wave and slowly rolled over on her
side. It was the moment Mrs. Nolan
was expecting. She ran to the rail
ing of the deok, leaned towards the
water and then began to scream at
the top of her lungs.;, So well was
the moment chosen that not only -Was
she iiot'seen before she desired, but
it was- not till she had uttered, half
a dozen piercing screams that her
a aozen piercing screams that her
voice was heard by the captain on
the bridge. ' '
A deck-hand was the first to reach
tZ " V1 ? BltlliCU IW
the part shc -ias -playing- that she
only pointed tl the water and con-
r tinned to utter i-ell after yell. ,v
"What is the hiatter?" he shouted.
She continued to scream, and point
to the water. .
"What in thei devil is wroner here?'
yelled the caplain, the next on the
epot. )
"Overr)oard!"icried Mrs. Nolan. A
sudden dash of ipray filled her mouth
and she coughed. The ship gve a
great lurch and she would have
fallen had the tivo men not supported
her between them.
"Overboard? J Vho's overboard?"
thundered the Saptain.
"Mrs. Gcddarfl!" gasped Mrs. Nolan.
"She sprang up! I was in my room!
She opened the door! I was just
in time to see her break from the
room! She sail something was after
her trying to hill her! She sprang
over there there! I had caught hold
cf her dress, but she tore loose!"
Here Mrs. Nolan began to show
signs of hysteria. The caxta:n swore
roundly. He dragged the woman to

ON THIS BRIDGE.
the door of her stateroom, gave one
hurried look round the room anel
then saying to the sailor: "Take care
of her," he was off to stop the ship.
A moment later the bell rang sharp
ly. The engines were reversed and
the ship floundered helplessly, dan
gerously, in the trough of the sea.
The boat-gang clattered up from be
low and there was a faint, storm
muffled shouting- of commands as a
boat was being lowered.
"Too late!" yeiled the captain. "This
sea would send us to the bottom! Noth
ing can be done now!"
There was a moment's pause in the
noisy manipulation of ropes and tackle,
then the sailors drew theiboat back to
its place and fastened it there. The
ship's engines throbbed sluggishly and
there was an attempt, perhaps only for
the sake of appearances, to send the
ship back in the vicinity of the spot
where it was when the alarm was
given; but dangerous head-winds ren
dered this impracticable. In a few mitw
tites the Cleopatra was forging ahead
as if nothing unusual had happened.
Mrs. Nolan refused to remain in her
stateroom. She escaped the sailor
when his back was turned and ran
along the deck wringing her hands and
wailing. A group of passengers had
ventured to the head of the stairs and
stood shivering in the wind and spray.
A woman iu this group caught Mrs.
Nolan in her arms and tried to console
her.
"Don't take on," she said. "You are
I not to blame. She was crazy as a. loon.
j She told me to-day that the captain had
been hired by some enemy to put her
! in irons. What did her folks mean by
! sending her over with just you such a
' frail woman'.'"
"Oh. 1 don't know, don't ask me!"
cried Mrs. Nolan. "She's dead, oh, she's
1 dead!"
I The captain was approaching- and
Mrs. Nolan showed signs of hysterics
again.
"I'll take her to her state-room," said
the woman.
"I wish you would," said the captain,
with an oath. "She's as crazy as her
mistress'."
The woman who had proffered her
kind offices accompanied Mrs. Nolan to
the state-room,
"Now, try not to think of it," she
said. "I know it is awful, but- the poor
thing is better off as she is than to go
on having such strange notions. Of
course, I mean if there was no cure for
her, and there seldom is, you know."
Mrs. Nolan, now that she had such
easy credulity to -play upon, saw the
expediency of getting rid of her visitor
so she calmed down wonderfully.
"When I once get to sleep I'll be all
right," she declared. "I shall want the
door locked. 1 can't stand the idea of
her, poor woman"
"I'll ask the captain to let me stay
with you if you like," aud the speaker
looked round at the elegant appoint
ments of the comfortable room with a
covetous look in her eyes.
"No, - thank you. I'd rather be by
myself. I was accustomed to beiDg
alone till she and I left New York."
"Oh, just as you feel about it!" said
the woman, slightly disappointed.
"Well, I think I'd better be go'ing. If
they know I'm here ail the passengers
will want to flock round you."
She 3iad hardly left when the cap
tain looked in. His face was deeply
troubled.
"I shall want all the details about
Mrs. Goddard. so as to make out a
report to the ship's company and the
authorities when we land but to
morrow will do."
"I shall have a better head then,"
said Mrs. Nolan. "I am awfully up
set." "You seem to be blaming yourself,"
-he said, in a kind tone. "I don't
think you need do this. I was very
much worried the dajr she spoke sc
peculiarly to me, but I supposed sh6
had recovered." -
"She has been as rational as any
body till ' to-day," said Mrs. Nolan,
wiping her eyes, which somehow
thanks to the spray and constant'
rubbing were wet and red. "I was
in ray room, there just thinking, of
going to .bed ,w,hen she sprang up, and,
before I knew it, she waa cut on deck,
anid oh, it was awful!" . j
"Try to think of something ese,'

"She and I were dear friends, and

"You shall have all the privacy you
wish," he promised her. "I shall see
to that."
When he had gone, Mrs. Nolan
locked the door behind hiin. She
looked to see if the window-curtains
were well down and then she turned
out the electric light. The ship, giv
ing a big Toll, almost threw her off
her feet, but she held on to the bed
and crept to the closet. She gave
three soft raps, then inserted the key
and opened the door. She groped
about till she caught hold of the
prisoner's warm hands and drew her
out.
"Well?" whispered Mrs. Goddard.
"I did my best."
"How did it work?" was the next
whisper, after a pause.
"1 think you will not complain.
They have swallowed it whole."
"If you did half as well on deck
as you did here with the woman and
the captain we have nothing to fear.
I laughed several times. Lucy, you

"It's getting- into 'port that I
-iread," said Mrs. Nolan.
"Leave that to me. I have two
plans," replied Mrs. Goddard. "Now,
I'm going to bed," she laughed.
"This sitting- up late is not good for
us. Are the window-curtains secure
and the door locked?"
"Yes."
"Well, be sure you wnk'e me in
the morning at least half an hour
before you ring for the stewardess.
If anybody should come to the door
while I am asleep go to it and say
that you are not dressed and cannot
admit anyone. Have the stewardess
bring your breakfast and a big pot of
coffee."

tVhent from Esj-pdnn Tombs.
The statement has frequently been
made that it is possible to causegrains
of wheat found in ancient Egyptian
sepulchers to germinate and grow.
This statement has been disputed, and
the question was dfscussed at a re
cent meeting of the French Academy
of Science. It was shown that while
the albumen of wheat found in a
tomb G.COO years old had undergone
no alteration, the embryo was changed
and couid not be caused to germi
nate, nut p. iresn eniDryo placed
in
tne ancient aiuumen would grow,
this fact, it was said, probably
counted for the statement, thnt.
and
ac-
the
old "Egyptian wheat rescued from its
long entomoment would sprout and
grow.

To Parents
Parents in general do not realize
what a source of delight and pleasure
children find in a legitimate dancing
school, surrounded by. refined and ele
vating influences, not speaking of the
healthful exercise to the constant de
veloping body, and frees thein from
the awkwardness and bashfulness to
which most children are subject. New
class begins January 5 at 2 o'clock.

THE QUESTION OF FINISH,
One of the most important features
of proper laundry work. Not enough

The finish known as "domestic" is
the only finish. This is the laundry
