The trap which is made in the form of a box, has oneside open, and fitted with a knife, held in its raised position by means of a string, when the trap is set. Suitable bait is contained within the trap. The afilicted person is induced ‘| officials, who delighted in inviting the or probably forced to swallow this de- lightful morsel, one end of the string | being retained by the patient. The worm, like all other foolish animals ex- | tends its head into the trap to obtain | | the bait, whereupon the spring releases the Ryd} result, the patient remoyes Ire trap with its contained head, per- haps. Another patent has been issued for a pair of stilgs adapted to be secured to the legs on one side of a horse, in order that the horse might, with ease and celerity, plough along the side of a steep hill. Still another learned inventor secur- ed a patent for springs to be secured to the four feet of a horse or mule, the springs being coiled and otherwise so arranged that a cannon or heavy artil- lery piece might be mounted on the back of a horse and fired, without en- dangering the life or limb of the ani- mal by the recoil. In Washington, thére lived one of those characters met with in every large city occasionally, who though not vio- lently insane, yet is mentally unbal- anced and generally termed a crank. . Salisbury, Pa. What the individual’s name was it is of tiles during the war ond for which he hadinever been paid, and for which he was constantly making a claim. On account of his antequated appearance, he was always a source of great amuse- ment for the attorneys frequenting the Patent oflice, and also of many of the colonel to partake of liquid refresh- ments with them in a much frequented saloon directly opposite the patent of-|© fice. On such occasion the colonel usually emerged from the place as com- pletly wet on the outside as the in. In order that some justification might be fl found for the colonel’s regular visits to the Patent office, an application for pat- ent was formally drawn up and execu- ted by some unknown person, and reg- ularly filed, for “an improved dog’s tail.” The description forming a part of the application set ‘out that the ob- ject of the inverition was to provide a device whereby a dog could, at full speed, turn sharp corners without fall- ing, the invention consisting in provid- ing an auxiliary tail made of sheet metal and in such a way that the several parts thereof could telescope, and. so secured to the dog’s appendage that it might be lengthened or shortened at will. Irom the description it appears that no prior training of the dog is necessary, but that from natural instinet in turning the corner at a rapid gait, he would lengthen the tail and so dispose it on one side that no mishap would occur. It is needless to say that although the colonel has departed this life, his ‘ap- plication still resides in the Patent of- fice, and that the patent therefor is still fortheoming. A Singulap Ineident. - The Rev. J. Lloyd James, Congrega- tional minister at March, Cambridge- shire, writes as follows to a London pa- per: “I have twin daughters now twelve years old.® While at dinner recently one of them jumped up and said. that a dog bit her leg just abo¥e the ankle. We all laughed, knowing aor. was no dog in the room nor in the house, as we keep none. An hour afterward her sis- ter, the other twin, went out, and a neighbor’s dog bit her exactly where the other complained of beiff bitten while at dinner. That seems strange to me, and what is equally strange is that both the twins had pain alike after the dog bit one of them, and the one that was not bitten would c¢py out in her sleep that .a dog had bitten her: The one felt what the other suffered from, and - as the one gets better the other’s pain lessens. On what ground can this singular incident be explained, physical, physiological or psychologi- cal?”’—Iamily Alagazine. : do The full set is now ready for delivery.

Having closely followed the reform movement, as it meandered along‘ the monetary.road, we are in a position to | enlighten our valued cotemporary. Our plan, we freely admit, is not wholly original, as we have culled the best feat- ures from the several hundred reform plans now tied up in various parts of the country, Indeed, we may say that our plan is a Composite of all the other plans. — We believe in a complete change in our monetary system, every once in awhile, brought about as quickly as pos- sible and without thought of what such a change willbe. The American people are sprightly and agile and they de- mand a currency that ean keep up with them. To this end we favor the cancellation of the mints as fast as they are received over the counter of the Treasury office All gold certificates should be redeemed in lead and the lead melted into bullets with which to shoot our national ene- mies. Banks should be allowed to run in debt as far as they want to and issue notes up to 99 per cent. of the amount of their indebtedness. All bankers now in jail or prison should be pardoned and President McKinley may construe this as a recommendation, We believe our currency should not be so elastic as to stretch beyond the reach of those who haven’t any. As the government has for years shown its inability to earn as much as it expends, we believe it should turn the business of issuing money over to those of proved financial acumen. Some au- thorities aver that the government should go out of the banking business. We would go a step further and have the government go out of business alto- gether and plaee its affairs in the con- trol of commissions, either in Indianap- olis, Skowhegan or some other recog- nized center. The laws should be ammended so that any man or set of men who wanted to start a bank could do so by sending his name or their names to Washington and receive in return a‘chunk of the gold re- serve. The government should pay him or them for taking care of a part of the reserve. We believe the laws governing our monetary system should be such that if they don’t suit a person, that person may go to Washington and. take charge of the Treasury vaults until laws more favorable to him areenaeled. No mon- etary law should be in force longer than six weeks. This would enable every fi- nancial crank in the country to work off his pet plan on the government.—Chi- cago News.
