UNITED AT DEATH DEO.
Mother Separated from Her Daughter
for Twenty-Nino Your.
Beside tho deathbed of Mrs. Jano
Williams, who died at McKccsport, Pa.,
last week, her daughter, stolen from
her twenty-nlno yenfs ago, was re
stored to her. Tho relatives of tho dy
ing woman gathored in tho room do
scrlbo tho meeting of tho long sun
dered morhcr and child ns affecting In
tho extreme. It was at II nut hoped that
tho Joy of recolvlng buck her child
would cnablo tho nged woman to re
cover,, but her health wits shattered
and though sho rallied at first Bho died
holding the hand of tho child, now a
grown woman, who had been stolon
from hor bo many years before
Mrs, Wllllnma for many years rcsld
od In Chicago, In tho days when tho
Illinois metropolis wan not a large city,
many of her relations being renldonta
of that state. Whllo In Chicago alio
married Mr. Williams, who, howovor,
died In 1800, leaving hor with two chil
dren, of whom tho youngest, Mary, was
about 2 years old at tho tlmo of his
death. Tho older children had reached
tho Echool-tlmo stngo, but tho baby of
tho family was thought by relatives not
to bo strong, and they feared that tho
mothor would not hnvo tho tlmo to
give It duo attention.
Relatives desired to adopt the child
shortly after tho death of tho fathor,
but Mrs. Williams objected, saying
that alio did not wish to seo tho homo
broken up and that sho would not let
hor llttlo daughter go away from homo
under any consideration, Sovcral times
off6rt8 wero taken to Induco hor to
glvo up tho child to those who wero
richer, und, It Is claimed, moro nblo to
look aftor tho child's welfaro, but to
no avail.
Thon when little Mary was about 5
years old, whllo playing with somo llt
tlo girls In tho street not far from hor
homo, n woman accosted tho group of
children and asked them whether thoy
would not llko to havo somo candy.
Tho children, naturally enough, assent
ed and tho stranger led tho girls to
tho nearest candy store, whero sho
gavo thom a treat all round. Thon
Mary got Into a vohiclo standing near,
together with tho stranger, and abso
lutely disappeared.
Tho police were notified of tho dis
appearance of tho child and for many
inonthB a closo Investigation was car
ried on, but without result, and whon
tho months lengthened into years and
thoro was still no sign of tho child
most of tho frlonds of Mrs. Williams
uellovod that tho child wan dead. Not
ho tho mourning mother. Never a year
passed that sho did not mnko somo ef
fort to llnd out whero hor child had
been taken, but until recently use
lessly. About twenty years ago aho wont to
McKoesport nnd made hor homo with
hor son. Last summor Bho was strick
en with Illness necessarily fatal In its
diameter and nbqut two months ago
It becamo nppnront that death was not
far off. With tho approach of death
tho longing of tho mothor for hor
child grow moro Intonso nnd live wcoks
ago tho rolatlvo who had takon tho
child wroto, Buying that tho llttlo girl
had grown to womanhood and marrlod..
This fuct was mado known to Mrs.
Wllllnma and Immediately nrrango-

Tho daughtor, now Mrs. Annlo Mad-

The Artichoke.
Artichokes woro not hold In estima

surprising whon wo loarn that It waa
tho root of our crown nrtlchoko. which
thoy used to eat "botho rawo and sod

"Ingondro in tho body a naughty

Nlnetopnth Century Magazine. "To

It goeth easily Into tho bottom of
tho stomack by reason of hys sTyp
pcryness." Apples, on tho contrary,
"aro coldo, and go slowllo downe."
whllo of pears wo nro told thnt "If
sodden with todcstollcs they will not
hurt them that cat them." But tho
doctor adds a caution to tho effect
that 'If n man fill himself wyth
pcarcs, oftymea thoy breed tho collck"
tho truth of which .many a modern
schoolboy will bo able to confirm from
experience. Galen holds that all fruit
to bo wholesome should bo eaten be
foro instead of after oiher food. Of
peaches ho particularly says: "They
ought not to bo caton after meat as
somo used to do. And thya rulo must
bo holdcn In all thoso mcatos that aro

BANK BILLSIN OAR WHEELS.
Currency Macerated at the Treasury Is
Used by the Car Ilnlldnr.
It Is tho commonly accepted bellol
that tho old currency redeemed at tho
treasury department Is absolutely de
stroyed. Such, however, Is not tho
case. A ntnglo whcol of a locomotive
ropresonts many millions of what was
onco good paper currency. From n
bank noto to a car wheel Is quite i
radical transformation, but.lt happen
every day, and to becomo a supporting
atom In tho revolving mass la tho ul
tlmnto fato of ovcry soiled $1, $10 or
$1,000 bill.
Botwcon $50,000,000 and 5500,000,000
worth of paper money Is cancelled ov
cry year in tho treasury department In
Washington, and aftor being macerated
Is converted into lining for railroad
car wheels and tho government gets $40
a ton for it from tho manufacturers.
Tho destruction of sollod paper cur
rency goes on dally and Is In chargo
of thrco treasury cmployca, who rcpre
aont respectively tho socretary of tho
treasury, tho treasurer of tho United
States and tho comptroller of tho cur
rency. Bundles of tho canceled notes
aro dumped Into tho big macerators
and crushed Into a putty llko mass. Tho
pulp Is then treated with nn alkali,
which extracts tho Ink; tho stuff is
dried, shipped In bales and forwarded
to tho car whcol manufacturers.
For ovcry note bo destroyed, unless It
haa come from a national bank In llqul
datlon, a new ono of tho samo denom
ination is printed nt tho bureau ol
printing and engraving. All this worlt
costs the government nothing. The
national banks pay tho exponscs, al
though tho treasury dopartmont has
full control of tho rodomptlon division.

A communication from Gen. Charles
W. Darling of Utica, honorary secre
tary of tho Egypt exploration fund,
gives somo oxtromely interesting facts
rolatlvo to recent discoveries by Prof.
Potrlo nt Abydos, which throw much
light upon tho prehistoric period of
Egypt. This indotermlnato period ex
tends back to tho paleolithic ago of
man, ovldonco of which haa been dls-
coverod, not only on tho plateaus abovo
tho Nile, but also In tho river valley,
From borings, through tho deposit of
NUo mud, Prof. Petrlo argues that tno
dato in tho history of tho world, thus
docldod, may bo assigned to about 7000
B. C. To this dato ho ascribes his
earliest prehistoric graves, which, wo
nro told, reveal a pooplo skilled in
manufactures. They possessed various
formB of pottery, stono vases, carved
ivory and finely wrought flint lmple
monts. Thoy also know tho art of
weaving.
At a later period of tlmo, which can
not bo llxod chronologically, camo an

A Germau scientist estimates that
undor ordinary conditions tho whole

through tho heart In thirty-two beats.
In a man of 170 pounds thoro aro
about thirteen pounds of blood, which
pasaea through his heart two and n
quarter tlmoa a mlnuto. Estimating

uto, and wo havo 1,800 pounds an hour
nnd 43,200 pounds a day passing

callers and tho number Increased so
rapidly that It took up tho tlmo of ono

fered with household affairs so much
that tho door had to be closed to nil

Tho room which Is tho subject of

lighted by n small gablo window and a

into tho hallway and tho other leads

to distract Mrs. Eddy's attention from

to establish a Turkish paper devoted

doth Boy, tho Turkish party In par

tho Era Magazine Momdouh Bey as
cribes tho decadence of Turkish liter

"No ono," ho says, "dares to pub
lish a book of any literary value. Every
writer Is Buspccted of political motives,
and Is immediately subject to persecu
tion should ho attempt to wrlto any

is that nothing appears except worth

Tho works of all tho best authors

SOUTH AMERIOAN TROUBLES.
Not only do tho states quarrel with

aro perpetually fighting with tholr
neighbors. It would bo todlous to glvo
a list of South American wars. Tho
most famous waa that waged for flvo
years botween Brazil, the Argontlno,
and Uruguay, on tho ono hand, and
"Marshal" Lopez of Paraguay, on tho
other, from 1805 to 1870. In this mur
derous conflict tho population of Para
guay was reduced from a million to a
quarter of a million, and heavy losses
wcro Inflicted upon tho othor states.
In 1877 tho Peruvian navy mutinied
and turned pirate until it was co
erced by tho British squadron on tho
spot. In 1879 Chile ono of tho most
orderly states attacked Peru and V
Bolivia and fought them for two '
years, eventually despoiling them of
much territory. In tho 90s thero wor.a
two serious civil wars, of moro than
UBual dimensions, endangering in soma
degreo tho peace of tho world. Thero
was tho bloody revolution and war
of 1891 In Chile and a less sanguinary
strugglo in 1893-4 in Brazil between
tho Peixotolsts and Mollolsta. Slnco
1894 thoro havo been contlnuoua civil
