All housemoving records have recerL *y been broken in Baltimore. The largest single structure ever transport- ed from one place to another has re- | cently been moved over 100 feet in | that city and the remarkable feat ac- eomplished without the slightest dam- age to the building and its contents. It was a freight warehouse belonging to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company which was the subject of thig engineering achievement and the build- ing was full of freight at the tima The structure is 440 t long, 120 feet wide, and 60 fect high, made of wood and fron. Five weeks were required in preparation, one week in the ac- tual moving, and two weeks setting the pullding on its new foundations. When it was all done not even one plate in | all of the 3,000 cases of china which | were in the warehouse was cracked. The operation of moving was conduct- | ed in much the same manner as was employed last spring to change the abiding place of the Emanuel Baptist Church of this city. Heavy beams, 6,000 in all, were laid down and on them forty tracks were placed. On the tracks 1,000 rollers were put. The building moved on the rollers. Along one side of the structure was placed a row of screw jacks, with two men in charge of each. At a given signal each jack was given a turn, moving the building ahesd a fraction of an | Inch Afterwards the progress aver- aged two feet an hour for five and one- half days. When it arrived at its des- tination the structure was gradually | lowered onto its foundation withou: go much as a timber having beso Mrained #roparimg for an Illness.

A remarkable story comes from the upper Yakima. Two years ago Mr. Peter Stromstadt located on a piece of land near what is now known as Barox Springs, his family consisting A few days after his settlement Mr. Strom stadt discovered a spring close to the shack he had erected, the water of which was strongly impreguated with iron, but was not unpalatable. Mr. Stromstadt dug out and deepened the | spring, and since July, 1893, the fam ily have used the water for all domes tie purposes. On the night of April 2a heavy eleo trical storm passed over the Cascades, accoinpanied by vivid displays of igntning. The following morning Mra Stromstadt, while kindling the fire ip the stove, found it almost impossible to separate the stove lifter from het haad. He« husband, hearing her call, ran to her assistance, when, to his sur prise, he found that he, too, expert enced great difficulty in detaching any article of iron with which his hands game in contact. Breakfast was finally | prepared and the family sat down te the meal. The children, iwo girls of five and seven years, drank their milk from tin cups, and upon reising their cups to their ps found themselves unable to detack the cups from thet mouths. Mr. Stormstadt, who is an intelligent immigrant from Sweden, was nonplussed, and while unable to account for the wonderful occurrences, nevertheless laughed at his wife’s ex cited declarations that the family were bewiched. Mr. Stromstadt hat written a friend in town. He says that'the small bed on which the chil | dren sleep is upon roller casters andé that in the morning the bed invariably pointed north and south, the bed be | Ing a little to the east of north. The case in one of the most remarka ble on record. A member of th Academy of Sciences, to whom the cir cumstances were related, states that the Stromstadt fa-nily have become saturated with iron, which was ren dered magnetic by the passage of elee tricity from the clouds to the eartt during the storm on the night of 4prii 2; and they are actual human magnets y News. OIL ON THE WATERS, Am Automatic Machine Operated bs the Holling Waves. A simple device for distributing oi} on rough water is meeting with adog tion among British shipowners. The arrangement is practically automatic taking ady as it does of the rise and fail of the vessel to create an air pressure, by means of which the oil is forced from the reservoir ano mixes with the sea. Briefly, a tank «# placed in a convenient pcesition at the fore or after end of the vessel, above the water line, and is about three parts filled with oil, space acting as an air reservoir. Ig connection with d passing through this tank is a trie, the lower end cg which is carrie down as pos sible, and is o} sea, the upper part being fit u air valve to admit of the ed up by the column of wr g@ into the re servcir. Inc witb the mala tube an addi: air tube is fitted Immediately ur the water line, which, when tia vessel rises, admits and by means s ercape. The ntage of a valve prevents air is acted upon main tube by the pitching of the ves- sel, pounds can easily be obtained, which, acting upon the air stored in the re servoir, ejects the oil through the dis tributing pipes to the sea.—Londoa Inversion. Grim Highlanders, My father had no end of anecdotes about our ancestors, parts of which } remember, though I was only a schoo} toom child of under fourteen when I heard him relate them. I was, how. ever, old enough to feel keenly inter- asted in them. Oue story that im- | pressed me very much was related te Account for the origin of the Cian Macintyre. A party of Macdonells on one occasion were out In a boat, when a knot of wood sprang out, causing a serious leak; whereupon one of the | to fill the | party stuck in his tnger hole, and then cut it off with his dirk thus saving the lives of the whole party. From this circumstance his de ecencarts were valed the Macintyres or Sons of the Carpenter. Another story which I heard my father tell relates to the bloody hand which appears in our coat ef arms, two brothers a certain estate belonged, it was agreed that he whose desh and | blond should first touch the property was to be regarded as the rightful owner. men started in two boats for the Jand in question. One of them, seeing that he was losing the race, when near the shore pulled out his dirk, cut off hia~ hand and threw it on land, thus es. tablishing his right to the property, as fais flesh and blood had touched it first -Blackwood’s Magazine.

W. Knapp, in his eulogy. upon Ruskin, tells how Ruskin began by giving first a tenth of his income to the poor, then half, and finally near- ly the whole. If others would not en- courage the study of art in schools, Ruskin would buy ten water-color drawings of Wiliam Hunt, and give | them to the public schools.of London. this amount he has given away except a sufficient sum to give him an income of fifteen hundred dollars a- year. Upon this he now lives, the income of ; his books being distributed among his old pensioners and his various plans for socia] reform. He bestowed his art treasures with like generosity. He gave the marbles which he had col- lected in Greece and his priceless Ital- |‘fan drawings to public galleries and musetms, where they would benefit the common people. Refusing the in- vitations of the rich, and putting away the temptation to a life of elegant ease and refined luxury, Ruskin gave himself to the poor. His best lectures were never given where English wealth and social pres were represented, but were delivered to work g-girly clubs erd workingmen’s associations If Revsseau refused the yoke of law and service upon the plea of genius, this man, by reason of his talents, was ¢carefuj to fulfill the duties not expecteé of mediocrity.
