Visitors at Winona lake have noticed that upward of fifty mineral springs there form drinking fountains on the more than 2,00,0 acres of the assembly grounds. At each fountain is provided a tin cup. A year or more ago it was discovered that the frequent disappearance of the cups from the springs caused much care and trouble. People would carry off the cups, filled with water, and would forget to return them. Every expedient was tried to put a stop to this practice. The cups were chained to the rocks, but they were detached and carried off, much to the annoyance of thirsty individuals who afterward looked about In vain for the vessel. The trouble found its way to Dr. Dickey, the genius who runs the place. He got a chisel and a bit a quarter of an inch wide, set a cup on a block and cut a slit In the bottom of it Then he took the cup to a spring, left it there and sat down on a neighboring bench to watch developments.

Inside of half an hour all the caps at the different springs had holes la their botoms.

Jesuits Will Not bs Readmitted. The conservative Relchshot of Berlin gives reasons why the Jesuits will not be readmitted to Germany.
