We appeared at the dor of the ward

forward to state my business, rucon
i. iou.-ly I leamd against tlie sill ft the
window, which ciffended the iii-cctor
in charge considerably.
"What's your name?" he thundered.
Still leauius on the sill, I gave him my
ijame honestly enough. He then remark
ed to some person inside tliat we were
Hot avustomed to such places evident
ly, and called out, "Stand back, will

'Take off yonr hat !" My hat came off
instauter. Still again: "You come in
lirre as if you was a lueeleeonary. You're
not You're a casual. " I was as meek
as could well be. Ryborg was itching to
jsrab the inspector with his long arms.
The nest qm-stion was as to where we
had slept the night before.
"Straw etack," I replied.
"None of your impudence! You slept
out Why don't you say eo? Have you
got any money?"
"A "hnp'onny, sir."
"Hand it iii." In it went Then I
liad to fill my trade, which was that of
a sailer, and naturally the nest question
v as as to where I wis bound
"To Auicriky, sir, if I can ever get
tli-re. "
" Yob";-T":.ii to tramp it, aren't you?"
"Yes, sir; that's my intention." But
f.r the life of me I could nut fcte how I
was to reach America that way. I was
so frightened that I would have told
l:im anything he wanted.
When he was through with us, a kind
hearted attendant took us iu hand, gave
r.s some grael and bread, a bath, clean
liight hhirus, and tlien a cell apiece, in
v liich w slept very well.
As there were only four inmates that
morning we were needed for the clean
jug up, and so escaped stone breaking,
vhich I dreaded exceedingly, und were
put at various light occupations or
rather I was. Ryborg was the victim of
Lis strength. Our breakfast consisted cf
the same dish as our supper of the night
lief ore. I was soon busy as general fire
man, soTuhter, knife cleaner, coal car
rier, dish washer and helper of my sis
ter sufferer, Mrs. Murphy, ua s'le wash
ed her task of towels and shirts. At
in ton we had jea snp and bread. I ea
j"Vitl it, bnt Kylmrjr did not The poor
fellow was feeling badly. He had had
to scrub nearly 20 cells, and the bend
ing over incident to such a feat had
nearly. broken his back. At diu'jer he
said plaintively, "Flynt, I want to go
oine." "So do I." I replied, "but I
fancy we're wanted here till tomorrow
morning. " This proved to le the case,
l ut he felt better iu the afternoon and
p.t through comfortubly, whvling n-. ar
ly a ton of stone from some of the cells
to the general pile. Ho earned Lis
"keep," if ever any poor prisoner did
I fear I was more shiftk-ss. for about
the middle of the afternoon the attend
ant who was with me at the furnace
said: "You might as well rest Just
keep your eye on the fires, that's alL"
It was kind of him, and as I had at
le:tft carted my pea SJup and grut l I
to k h's advice: He was kinder to me,
I think, because I gave Lim a corncob
pij which he had had to take away
from me the night before. During the
day he hd asked me several questions
about it, and I baid, "It's a very d.-cent
pert of pijtc cooliulike, you know."
"Doesn't Mark Twain always smoke
tine o th( m pipes?" said he.
" Blest if 1 know," said I, "but lean
veil think it"
"I'm a great friend of Mark Twain, "
lie pursued, "an I'm H-thiuk:n o' gettin
me o' them pipes, jest out of restxtt for
him."
"Well," said I, "permit mc in the
name of your respect to present yon
with my pipe. Besides you've get itauy
Lc.w. " Ho thanked me profusely, and
I romised to keep it forever. Later in the
tiay he reported it to 1 just as I hud
said, "sort o' cooliu like." And he was
a p-l friend to uie all the rest of lay
stay iu the Xotting Hill station.

' QUEER LANGUAGE.
The "Camphor Tonene" of a Wild bnt In
offensive Race.
One of the queerest languages in the
world, used for the qu-en st purposes,
is the "camphor huiguage" of Johore,
n country of the Malay peninsula. It has
latelv lieen studied and reported upon
bvMr. Lake, au English engineer in
the service of the sultan of Johore. This
language is called the "Pantang Ka
pnr," or camphor Lmgnnge, and is used
by the natives and all others who are
engaged in gatlicring the product of tho
Malavan camphor tree and only at that
time." If they used either of the lan
guages of the region, the Malay or the
aboriginal Jakuu, the natives believe
that they could not' obtain any camphor,
and for a most curious reason. Tho cam
phor tree, Dryoblanops camphora, grows
abundantly in certain .rarts of the pe
ninsula, but only occasionally contains
camphor crvstals. The camphor is not

phor of commerce. It is a sort very
highly prized by the Chinese in the em
balming of their dead, in incense and in
medicine, and the gum brings much
more than the common camphor.
The Mahiyans und other Johore na
tives believe that each species of tree
has a spirit or divinity that presides
over its affairs. Tho spirit of the cam
phor tree is known by the name of Bi
son literally "a woman." Her resting
place is near the trees, and when at
night a peculiar noise is heard iu tlie
woods, resembling that of a cicada, the
Bis.an is believed to be singing, and
camphor w ill surely be found in the
neighborhood. Bat tlie spirit of tho cam
phor tree seems to be jealous of tlie pre
cious gum and must be propitiated, mid
if she knows that hunters are in quest
of it she will endeavor to turn their
6teps aside. So it is necessary to speak
in a tongue which she does uot under
stand For this purposo the "camphor
language" h:is been invented. It con
sists of a mixture of Jakuu and Malay
words, bnt these are curiously altered
and reversed, and tlie natives positively
believe that the divinity of the camphor
tree is completely confused The Jaktins
who hunt the camphor arp one of tlie
wildest of people, but inoffen.-ivo. They

having been sent into tho Spanish fleet,
they bore off in great disorder. I'rofitiug
by the panic, the English fell upon them
and captured or destroyed a number of

The opinion is expressed by a writer
iu The Mechanical News thr.t the forge

to which is connected a strong positive
conductor, the fcrge aud outfit being
rendered complete Ly a pair cf tongs
with insulated handles attached tj a
flexible negative conductor. According
to this plan, the smith seizes the piece
of iron which is to be manipulated with
the insulated tongs and plunges it into
the sour water, which begins to boil
and bubble the instant it comes in con
tact w ith the irou, the Litter, in a re
markably short space of time, turning
to a red suid then to a white heat, ready
for the wrrk of the smith. So rapidly

ing tho light and heat it being found
that enormous heat can be produced by
such a method, much greater, in fact,
than is necessary to extract iron from
the most refractory ores. It is rcmarkt J
that the value of such a process will be

Ho dodged alnt a tree and droppid his
ax. For ten minutes he dodged, half
scared to death. Then ho climbed the
tree.
The bull butted tho tree with its ant

walked away a few yards and rested.
Tho lumberman yelled some more. When
he could yeil uo longer, ho set his wits
to work. Just above him was a (Had

advanced again he set tho wood afire and

A Lucky Guess.
A Wall street broker made a lucky
guess one day last week. A customer
stepjH-d into hlsoftiev, accompanied by
a mail who was a stranger to the brok
er, and said, "My friend bus just come
from England, and I like to introduce
one Englishman to another."
"But I am not an Englishman Ly
birth," said the stranger.
"I observe by your speech that you
are not," remarked the broker.
"My speech?" answered the other.
"Where, then, do you suppose I was
born?"
"A lit," cried the customer, "that
you can't guess, for I don't know."
"A dollar that he was born in Gibral
tar," replied the broker.
The stranger was astonished, for It
was there that he was born, and the
customer paid the U-t.
"How did you know?" the broker
was asked the next day by the custom
er. "I did not know, and am not a mind
reader," answered the broker. "I made
a lucky guess, that's all. At first when
the thing wasspruugon me I wasaWtut
to say Wales or British Honduras or
Cape Colony or Malta or anywhere else,
but Gibraltar was the last place that
came to mind, and so I soke the word.

MANY KNOW HER,

Fifteen Years With Mrs. James
Orr, of Oreensburg. t
Tifteen years is a long time to carry a
burden. Ju.-,t think o! it ! yeur in and
vtar out for nearly a decade wi'.h a back
tbat aches, a weak back, a lame back, a
sore back, ia fact, a "bad back" most all
the time. Sotnt times the burden was al
most iuqossille to bc-r, and now and
then a day it would lighten; a plaster ap
jlied would 'fingrclief until their strength
was gone, but a pl.-steted Kick is not a
eil back and the rexn for this is kinipie
indeed. l'W.cr are pain relievers, bat
net p;in curers. Relief can be found for
alm-.st any pain, but to cure it yon mut
reach the cause. Many a Lad back has
been relieved iu dajs gone by and now
there are many more that have found hew
the burden can be relieved for good. They
re learning the cause and how to reach
it. A Oreensburg lady, Mrs. Jos. Orr, lias
bad a fifteen years' experience and ia a
fortunate moment discovered how to do it,
Mrs. Orr resides at 53 W. Pittsbu-g street,
and such as doubt this stateinetit, can
easily have it vended. Mrs. Orr says:
"For fifteen years I have known what it
is to have a backache. I have suffered
along, sometimes feeling much worse than
Et others. Piasters hel;ed me while their
Strength lasted. All last winter I suffered
Rie.it deal. I could not walk around at
ail, but would have to go an.', lie down. I

went to Harry L. Greer's drug store and
got me a box of . I loan's Kidney Pills,
which J couimciued using and felt im
provement after the fir.-t few doses. I
continued to improve until the back pains
left nie entirely, and I have not been
troubled with them since. Doan's Kidney
