When this lmipi!-l. he nought rcme

was calied to a discovery for waking
hair grow .r. bald heads, which had been
f uccessfully tried in two tr three cases.
He bought a controlling interest in the
restorative and commenced to boom it.
He had read a great deal about Dr.
Oiauncey il. LVtirw and thought it was
a pity that so great a man should 1 com
pelled to go through life haldheaded.
Furthermore, he considered that his for
tune would 1 made if he conld be the
means of giving Dr. Deew a genuine
pompadour.
With this object in view Major Sucrow
filed up a package of his restorative and
called on Dr. Depew. The ackage, whic h
was neatly tied up, was alniut 11 Inches
long, 9 inches wide and 3j inches thick.
His visit was jnst after the attempt t
blow up Ruaaell Sage by dynamite.
When Dr. Depew 6a w the package and
heard the major's foreign accent, he
thought it was a crank and remarked
hurriedly:
My dear fellow, I am very busily en
paged today on important business that
cannot be delayed. Leave me your name
aud addruaB, and I shall Mend yon a letter

Sucrow went away and waited for the
letter, which never came. In its place
appeared an agent of the department of
charities and correction, who tjuestioned
him concerning his personal hiMory and
as to the effectiveness of his tonic. Su
crow was then taken before Dr. Wash

insane. He F nt one night at the in

"My statements were all true," said
Major Sucrow yesterday, "and so I had
to conscientiously persist in them."
After his transfer to the island he kept
the attention of the physicians there cen
tered upon him by his frequent declara
tions that he was not insane, accompa
nied by application for his release. For
the first five months of his incarceration
he made tliene applications at least every
week, and aoinetiiues as often as twioeor
three times a week. At the end of five
mouths, just as he was Ivgiutting to de
sjiair of ever regaining his lilerty, he hit
upon a new idea.
"1 began to change my system," he
said. "For the next inotuh I did not say
a word about insanity, nor did I make
:.ny further request for my discharge.
At the end of the month I went to Mr.

The Telephone Fifty Years Ago.
The first telephone that was ever used
was not electrical, nor was it a scientific
instrument in any sense of the term. A
little more than 50 years ago the em
ployees of a large manufactory beguiled
their leisure hours by kiteflying. Kites
large and small went up daily, and the
strife was to see who could get the lar
gest. The twine which held them was
the thread spun and twisted by the ladies
of the village. One day to the tail of the
largest kite was attached a kitten sewed
in a canvas bag, with a netting over the
mouth to give it air. When the kite was
at its greatest height200 feet or more
the mewing could be distinctly heard
by those holding the string. To the clear
ness of the atmosphere was attributed
the hearing of the kitten's voice. This is
the first account werememlier of speak

It is not unusual to hear complaints
that the Turkish bath has induced con
siderable depression, or even exhaustion,
lasting perhaps several days, but tho
canse of this is that proper precautions
have not been taken by the bather. The
liaths must be adapted to the strength of
the patient. The bather should not stay
too long in the hot chamber, and the
bracing process should lie applied only
few seconds with water not very cold.
Twenty minntes is long enough for most

THE EVEP.LASTiMG GHOST.
A Phantom 1 but Has Made Little Prr
resa la Thowsaaula of Year.
We are asked to believe in ghosts be
cause in every age there have been ghott
rtories. But would it not be more nat
ural to suppose that in every age the hu
man mind has been subject to aberra
tions, and that some specific weakness or
irregularity of the mental constitution or
of the physical organ, the brain, on which
all thinking, so far as we are aware, de
pends, has probably given rise to thif
prti-nlar class of hallucinations?
We cannot pretend as yet to know tlk
mind thoroughly in health and disease,
bnt thi'. we do know, that there are thou
sands l.nd millions of persons whose lives
are never 'intruded on by gho6ts ftnd
who fa kw ftbsolutely nothing of "occult"
pheuotiena. According to ft reverend
gentleman' figures, only one woman in
twelve and one man in ten has had any
"occult" exjieriences. Now, what wc
should like very much to have would lx
ft further analysis of these figures show
ing the percentage of flighty or other
wise ill balanced minds among the "oc
cult" and the "nonoccult" (if we may 8C
apply the words) classes respectively.
Our own exjierience would lead us tc
believe that the projiortion would b
vastly larger in the former class than ir.
the latter. Who has not known many
examples of the tremulous, nervous, hy
persensitive, wonder loving, hysterical
or semihy6terical type of constitution
among the devotees of ghost lore? And
if such examples occur, as we believt
they must, to the mind of every one, b
it not at least a probable inference that
"occultism" in its various phases bat
something to do with that kind of mindZ
The ghost may be very ancient, but wf
do not believe in him the more. Tb
trouble about him is that he has inadt
no progress since the earliest times. In
fact, on the whole, he has fallen back.
We should not be disposed to talk of th
"levitation" of Elijah ourselves had nol
the Rev. Mr. Haweia used the term le
fore us. But if, following the reverent
gentleman's lead, we consider the proph
et's alleged translation in that light,
burely it was a most successful feat ii
"levitation," and a little ahead of any
thing the modern world can show.
And, tpeaking generally, the appari
tions and visions and other spiritual 01
occult phenomena of ancknt times hao
more "body" to them than those of oui
own day. If therefore the ghost haf
made no progress in the course of thret
or four thousand years, if he is just ai
uninstroctive and inconsequent a phe
nomenon now as he was when we first
encountered liini. if not a little more so,
we may jicrhaps be pardoned for think
ing that he may be safely and fairly ig

Ismar! I-ong Hair.
There is a young lady now prominent
in Washington society to whom as s
little girl Lamar revcsletl one bloou
curdling reminiscence. He was accus
tomed to visit her father's house and
had often noticed her garing curiously
at his hair, which he wore very long
and flat to the sides of his head. Ont
day be said to her: "My dear, you look
as if you wanted to ask me something.
What is itT
"If you please, Mr. Lamar," she an
swered, "why do yon wear your hail
tliat way at the sides?" Lamar drew o-j
his most serious expression, and in a low,
hoarse whisper lietween his lifted palmt
he replied, "Because, my dear, I ones
hand a fight with a man and
he cut off my ears'" For a long
time afterward the little girl was struck
with a chill of horror every time sh
looked at him, until one day in the
midst of a gesture he swung his hail
back far enough to assure her that liii
head was supplied with its normal com
plement of members. But she never, tc
the day of his death, entirely got over
the effect made upon her by the pretend
ed dread secret. Kate Field's Washing
ton. The Meaning of Telepathy.
Few jieople would be apt to under
stand what you meant if you talked tc
them about "telepathy." New science
spring up so rapidly nowadays that it i
hard work to keep track of the new
words coined for them. Telepathy is re
lated iu inclining to telegraphy, in that
it is a sort of mental telegraphy, or feel
ing at a distance, being derived from tht
Greek, pathos, feeling and tele, at a dis
tance. It is only n new and more scien
tific name, however, for what we com
monly speak of as mind reading, though
not all mind reading is telepathy.
Richard Holson, secretary of the So
ciety for Psychical Research, defines te
lcjathy as the ability of tine mind to im
press or be impressed by another mind
otlTwise than through the recognized
ch;umelsof sense, and cites some remark
able instances of mind rending and
thought transference investigated by th
society. These, he thinks, confirm the

When we now speak of a buxom per

not usually apply the term to a thin

think of calling a man or ft boy buxom.

A Laborer's Self Sncrtae.
There is tclf sacrifice much often or ia
the common walks of life than the ma

largely engaged in business in Albany
makes it practice at the lieginning of
very winter, because of the slackness
in trade, to discharge several of his la
boring men. Usually this is done by
lot, so that no man can feel that ho has
been discriminated against unjustly.
This winter among the laboring men
employed in the establishment was ft
poor fellow from England, who had
come to this country and worked hard
to support a large family. Ho bad wi'h
great difficulty found oinployment.whieh
had stood between him and his family
and starvari jn. HI luck pursued him,
and when the lots were drawn he drew
the choice of nonemployment.
There was nothing for him to do bnt
give up the place and look for work else
where at ft season of the year when work
is most difficult to be found. At this
juncture an unmarried fellow laborer

A Public Tricycle Service.
An enthusiastic wheelman proposes to
establish an extensive line of tricycles for
passenger sen-ice in the city of London.
A man in uniform would le responsible
for the propulsion and guidance of each
tricycle, and the seat occupied by the
passenger would be suitably covered in.
It is calculated that a tariff of 6 cents
per milo will make the project remuner
ative. The Prussian government has decided
to introduce the use of the centigraOe
thermometer instead of tliat of Reau

of the kingdom.

How Cora Was Oronnd nt One Time.
The waterniill is older than the wind
mill, but prehistoric corn such wheat,
for instance, as Pytheas, the first trav
eler from civilization to Groat Britain,
saw the natives of Kent drying in large
sheds on account of the absence of sue
was ground in hand mills, as is still done
in the east. Qnernes, as these mills are
called, are frequently found in thecyclo
pean underground dwellings of Scothind.
Their simplest form consists of two thin
circular stones, the upper of which is
pierced in the center and revolve oa a
wooden or metal piii inserted in the low
er one. Tho grinder dropped the grain
into the central hole with one hand, while
the other caused the upper stone to re
volve by means of a stick inserted in a
small hole near the edge.
The lalxirionsness of this operation ia
well illustrated by a story told of Colum
ba. Ho. was studying under St, Finnian,
and even- night ou which it fell to hia
lot to grind the coru with the qnerno he
performed his task so quickly that his
companions enviously asserted that he
had the a sta stance of an angel in turning
the stone. Wilson thinks that at this
time (the early jiart of the sixth century)
the queroe was the only mill in use.
Large water mills were introduced in the
thirteenth century into Scotland, and
legal means had to be employed to ren
der their use compulsory. Gcntleman'j

Deslrvcttea German Artillery.
So destructive in its effect is the new
German artillery that it is asserted, one
t he range were found, a battery would
aunihilate an entire division in ft very
short time. Prima facie, this seems rath
er to border on the impossible, but when
the results of the experiments which
were recently made in tie presence of the
emperor with the new weapons are con
sidered the task does not appear to be so
impracticable after alL The first shot
fired in the course of these experiment
was at a target placed 50 paces from a
wood. The missile missed the target,
but plowed its way for 500 yards through
the wood. Shortly afterward a large area
of the wood was discovered to be on fire.
This was du to the shell being charged
with a certain kind of powder, the com
position of which is a secret known only
to the German government.
The splinters from shells burst by
this powder and fired by the new gun
corer a circle of COO feet. This is great
improvement on the limited are of
ground that was covered by splinters
from sheila fired by the artillery weapon
of 20 years ago. Then it was considered
effective shooting if splinters from a
shell were thrown within ft circuit of 40
or 50 paces and seven or eight men
wounded, but the new gun has a far
greater destructive power than this.
Another shell fired at an enormous tar
get, constructed by the emperor's or
ders, covered it with thousands of holes.
London Court JournaL
Repairing a Damaged Shaft-
There are a few points in regard to the
Umbria breakdown, from an engineer
ing point of view, which might not ap
peal to the ordinary observer. Engineer
Tomlinson got a great deal of credit for
repairing the shaft, whereas a consider
able part of the credit was due him and
his assistants for their cautions watch
fulness of all the machinery. Reports
show that the shaft was not entirely
broken off the fracture was not com
plete. It had been noticed that it was
not working smoothly, and the cap was
taken off the thrust bearing and the flaw
discovered.
The mending consisted of strengthen
ing the parts so that the fracture could
not become any greater, and this was
practicable, while if the break had been
complete and the solid part had made
one revolution against the broken off
end of the other part repairs would have
become almost, if not quite, impossible
with the facilities on board the ship.
Our engineer friends who in the future
may stand in danger of being called upon
to mend a broken shaft may well bear
in mind, therefore, that to discover a
fracture before the shaft breaks goes a
long way toward successful repair. Ma

Forbkldea to Tiait Mary's Tomb.
Several lady and gentlemen Jacobites
visited Westminster abbey on the anai
versarr of the decapitation of Mary,
qneen of Scots, for the purpose of plac
ing npon her tomb wreaths of flowers.
But the dean had given orders that there
was to be no admittance to the ahde of
King Henry VII's chapel and the "Le
gitimists' and "White Roseists" were
therefore compelled to pay their homage
from a distance and to content them
selves with repeating the "Adoro, im
plore, et libera me" supposed to have
been written by the unhappy sovereign
on the eve of her death outside the iron
gates. The demonstrants made no nn
seemly disturbance, as they did last
year, when told that their intentions
could not be realized.but quietly tramped
with their flowers and wreaths through
the muddy streets to the statue of
Charles I at Charing Cross and placed
their memorial emblems around the feet
of that equally unfortunate monarch's
horse. London Telegraph.
The Oldest Tear Tree In New England.

known ou account of a pear tree, now in
a fairly vigorous condition, which was
planted by Governor Endicott in 1G3Ul
Over one bushd of fruit was harvested
from th; tree last year. Of all the host
of thrifty trees, the pride of the govern

In 1CC3 the first Bible printed in Amer
ica was published in Cambridge. It was
unlawful to print an English version of
the Scriptures, that right being a mo
nopoly enjoyed by privilege and patent
in England." The one printed in Massa
chusetts was Eliot's famous "Indian Bi
ble," and although 1,500 copies were
struck off they are quite rare, and
"sealed books," as the tongue in which
tbey are written is literally a "dca 1 lan
jruage," the tribe and all who had a
knowledge of the dialect being long ex

monument to his piety, perseverance and
learning. Its literary successor was New
man's "Concordance of the scriptures."

Meaning of tba Word "Either. "
The legal meaning of the word "either"
has been gravely argued in an English
court of record. A certain testator had
left property, the disjiosition of which
was aifected by the "death of either" of
two persons. One lawyer insisted that
"either" meant both, and in snpport of
his views he quoted Richardson, Web
ster, Chancer, Drydcn. Sonthey. the
story of the crucifixion and a passage
from Revelation. The judge snsgested
that there was a song in "The Beggar's
Opera" which took another view, "How
happy I could be with either, were t'other
dear charmer away."
In pronouncing judgment the court
ruled that "either" meant one of two.
and did not mean both. Ho said that it
j might have that meaning occasionally in
t poetry, but never in an English court of
record. Exchange.

was in a blaze. The engineer did not no
