TORTURE OF A PREACHER.
The story of the torture of Rev. O. D.
Moore, pastor of the Baptist church, of
Harpersville, N. Y., will interest you.
He says: “I suffered agonies, because
of a persistent cough, resulting from
the grip. I had to sleep sitting up in
bed. I tried many remedies, without
relief, until I took Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds. which entirely cured my cough,
and saved me from consumption.” A
grand cure for diseased conditions of
Throat and Lungs. At E. H. Miller's,

The Wabash Coming.
A small army of engineers has been
on a “forced march” up the Yough and
Casselman valleys for several weeks
past, running lines of survey, but for
whom and what, has been the question
of the hour. By some it was claimed
to be the P. & L. E., intending to ex-
tend its lines from New Haven east-
ward. Our first reliable information
as to identity of the work, was in the
fact that certain supplies were furnish-
ed by the Western Md. Ry., which, of
course, is a Wabash property, which
convinced us that the work here is in
the interest of the Wabash. That in-
formation we obtained several weeks
ago. Since then the Western Md. has
has bought the George's Creek Ry..
which connects it with Frostburg, and
the engineers who ran the survey
enstward from here, moved a few days
ago from Confluence to Mt. Savage,
which 1s about 12 miles air line from
Meyersdale. It is a very practical,
comparatively easy, and shorter route,
thas to follow up the Yough and Cas-
<»lman to Meyersdale, and thence to
where the George’s Creek is reacheds
than any other route thinkable. Surely
it is only a question of time when
some corporation will cover that route,
whatever may be the purpose of the
present surveys.—Turkeyfoot News.

GIVE YOUR STOMACH REST.
Nothing will cure indigestion that
doesn’t digest the food itself, and give
the stomach rest. You ean’t expect
that a weak stomach will regain its
strength and get well when it iz com-

Right to Lien is Void.
Judge Porter, of New Castle, has de-
dided that a railroad cannot hold or
take a lien on merchandise for non-
payment of demurrage for car service
after 48 hours, holding that the right to
a lien ceases when the cars are deliver-
ed on a siding or main track. The
road can only recover as a common
debt. The decision was made in the
case of Wallace Bros., lumber dealers,
who enjoined the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad from retaining merchandise
for demurrage.
Judge Porter said the question has
been decided in other states, but never
before in Pennsylvania.

“The crusade against expectorat-

sighting one of these drifting dan- |
gers. The engines were stopped for
upward of an hour; th captain and
officers endeavored to explode it by
means of rifle shots. The firing prov-
ipg fneffectual, a boat was lowered in
charge of Mr. Miller, the chief offi-
cer who placed the mine in tow, but
after towing for two hours it explod-
ed with a terrific report. Capt. Pratt
of the steamer Yushun reports a
floating mine which was exploded at
100 yards’ range. This is thought a
safe distance. The only thing to be
careful of is to have sufficient over-
head covering as a protection against
falling fragments. The steamer
Kungping reports sighting a large
spiked mine twenty-three miles
from Howski Island. Rifle shots were
fired at it, and the mine exploded,
several fragments of it falling upon
the deck of the vessel.—Pekin

The Pope's sig
It is impossible to fix the exact in-
come of the pope, because the sources
by which his settled income is large-
ly augmented are subject to great
fluctuation. Such is the annual sub-
sidy called ‘Peter's Pence,” and the
innumerable thank- offerings which
he receives every year from all parts
of the world. It is thought proba-
ble by authorities who have the best
means of judging that, taking one
year with anoth:r the average an-
nual income of the pope cannot fall
short of £600,000.—Exchange.
Radium for Snake Bite.
It is worth noting that the recent-
ly reported “‘cure for rattlesnake
venom’ was based on a communica-
tion to the French Academy, an-
nouncing that snake vemon exposed
to the action of radium rays for fifty
or sixty hours, loses its virulence.
As snake bite produces its poisonous
effects on man in from five minutes
to an hour, the practical application
of the fifty or sixty hour radium
treatment is somewhat remote.
Chinese and Electricity.
As the completion of the electric
tramway draws near the rumors
among ignorant natives grow apace.
The latest is that 500 Chinese heads
must be procured and buried under
the power house before the ‘‘kreta
hantu’ can start running. In con-
sequence of this ’‘riksha coolies re-
fuse to take fares into the eountry
districts at night.—Free Press, Sing-
apore.
Social Make Believe.
There is an element of the nursery
in the diversions of society. They go
to Cowes and play at being sailors,
having never been at sea except on
a Channel steamer; they go to Ascot
and play at being turfites; they go to
the Opera and play at being musical
critics; they go to salons and play
at being politiclans.—The London
World.
Diamonds and Lead Poisoning.
In order to reduce the danger of
lead poisoning, te which diamond-
cutters are now subjected because of
the alloy of lead and tin used for
holding the diamonds during the
cutting process, the Dutch govern-
ment has offered a prize of’ 8,000
florins for a satisfactory sigbstitute
to be used instead of this alloy.
The Latest Submarine.
The latest style of submarine boat
with which experiments dre being
made is a little English midget
thirty-four feet long, armed with two
torpedo tubes and carrying a erew of
three men. It can be transported
on a railroad truck, or hoisted over
the side of a battleship with the
greatest ease.
A Costly Uniform.
The most costly uniform in Eng-
land is worn by the Earl Marshal,
whose dress represents an outlay of
$1,250, not including jewels or or-
naments. Seventeen thousand yards
of embroidery are worked upon the
coat in gold lace until but little of
the original cloth may be seen.
An Electric Sprinkler.
The city of Hartford, Conn., has
the distinction of being the first to
use an electric street sprinkler. The
water tank resembles that of an or-
dinary horse drawn street sprinkler,
but the vehicle is driven by a storage
battery, and is able to cover in a day
twice the ground covered by a
sprinkler drawn by a team of horses.

No Listeners.
One of the chief causes of the dul-
ness of life is the inablity to listen
which you find in nine people out of
ten. The extraordinary selfishness at
the root of this defect is a shock to
the optimist who is anxious to think
well of human nature.—The Lady.
In the House of Commons.
In the British House of Commons
is a red line between the benches and
the matting on the floor, which no
member may overstep in speaking.
This line is a relic of the days when
members wore swords and eculd not
be trusted within lunging distance
of the other side.
Weight of the World.
The present weight of the world
is estimated at 6,866,860,000,000,-
000,000,000 tons. If the weight of
the atmosphere is added to this we
have a grand total of 6,866,285,-

a tobacco cutter on my counter and
a boy was so engaged in cutting
plugs for the customers that he had
little time for anything else.
“Now we cut up a few plugs in
the regulation size and put them in
a canister. Twenty-five cuts will
last several days where we used to
sell that many in a half day. How-
ever, what we have lost in that way
is more than offset by sales of cigars
and cigarettes and smoking to-
bacco.
“The war on spitters has stopped
all that.”
Largest Map in the World.
The largest map in the world is
the ordnance survey map of Eng-
land containing 108,000 streets, and
costing $1,000,000 a year for twen-
ty years. The scale varies from ten
feet to one-eighth of an inch to the
mile. The details are so minute that
maps having a scale of twenty-five
inches show every hedge, fence, wall,
building and even every isolated tree
in the country.
Curing Facial Defects.
Professor Lassar, a famous Ber-
lin skin specialist, has found means
to restore red noses to their normal
color and uses. An instrument,
shaped like a large tooth brush, with
forty platinum wires instead of bris-
tles is used, and this is connected
with an electrical machine. The
treatment consists of hammering
the lurid nose till it bleeds, when
the treatment is stopped for a day.
Wives Bought by the Foot.
The Chinese purchase wives by
the foot, but the smaller the meas-
urement the greater the cost. When
2 Chinaman of the wealthier class
desires to marry he sends around. for
samples, and finally selects a foot
that suits him and is within the
reach of his purse. A difference of
an inch or so in the length may
make a difference of several thou-
sand dollars.
Post Cards in Battle.
Before going into action each Ja-
panese soldier fastens to his coat a
special post card provided by the
government announcing the fact of
his death and addressed to the per-
son he desires notified. :
° After a battle these post cards are
gathered from the bodies of the
slain and are taken to regimental
headquarters, where they are stamp-
ed with the seal of the regiment,
which officially certifies to the fact of
death.
Shoddy British Lords.
The noblemen of England have
queer ways of changing their names.
The original cognomen of the Duke
of Northumberland was Smithson,
the assumed name of the family
Percy; the Marquis of Lansdowne
was Petty and afterward Fiteman-
rice; the Marquis of Inglesey was
Baylay, then Paget; Marquis Coying-
ham was a Burton; Lord Ventry was
a Moleyns; Marquis of Tullibardine
was a Murray, ete.
An Island of 160 Inhabitants.
Pitcairn Isiand is a lonely little
spot of land in the southern Pacific.
It has 169 inhabitants. Their only
link with the outside world is a cut-
ter of fourteen tons, which, with
luck, gets to a neighboring island
now and then, whence about four
times a year communication may be
established with Tahiti.
Revival of an Old Custom.
Showers of rose leaves figured in
a recent English wedding instead of
the usual rice and confetti The old
Romans made considerable use of
rose leaves both at feasts and dra-
matic performances. They used
them also as perfumes to saturate
and refresh the air.
Chinese Temples for Schools.
The imperial decree regarding the
appropriation of temples for schools,
says the Shanghai North China Her-
ald, is being carried out in Anhui.
At Luchoufu, four very large images,
servants to the god of Literature,
have been torn down to make room
for little Chinese boys to study Eng-
lish.
Value of One Fir Tree.
A fir tree has been cut in Oregon
recently, which made nine sawlogs
averaging 14 feet in length, scaling
21,488 feet board measure. The
product of this one tree will bring
more than $1,000.
Rojestvensky’s Salary.
“You cannot always judge a
man’s brains by his salary,” said Ar-
nold White, lecturing to workingmen
in London recently. ‘ ‘Togo gets
£648 a year, while Admiral Rofest-
vensky’s salary is £11,000.”

THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR.
A Source of Contention Among Na-
tions During All Ages.
Although the rock itself is less
than three miles long, three guar-
ters of a mile wide and 1,439 feet
high, it has been the bone of con-
tention among all nations during all
ages. In less than 470 years four-
teen sieges occurred upon its sur-
face, one being of nearly four years’
duration. During these years of
deadly strife Moslem fought Chris-
tian, and Christian fought Moslem,
the Spaniards finally conquering fit
ic 1500. It remained in their pos-
session for nearly 200 years, when
an English fleet, not desiring to re-
turn home without a prize, surprised
the fort and captured it. From that
day (1704) on it has remained un-
der the English crown, growing
stronger and more powerful each
year. Many attempts have been
made to regain it, but without suc-
‘cess.—Era Magazine.
Alfonso’s Favorite Author.
King Alfonso has a fair claim to
be regarded as the best educated of
our .rowned heads. He is a lin-
guist, being familiar with French,
Italian, German, and English. He
never travels without Goethe, Schil-
ler, and the Austrian poet Grillpar-
zer, whose name will be new tc
most people. Of the ancient class-
fecs King Alfonso prefers Horace,
many of whose odes he has transla-
ted into Spanish. Moreover, he rev-
els in mathematics and history, and
adores drawing.—London Chroni-
cle.
Fish by the Billion.
One no longer speaks of hatching
thousands of young fish by artificial
means but of millions and hundreds
of miilions. The number of eggs,
fry, fingerlings and adult fish dis-
tributed by the United States Bu-
reau of Fisheries in one year aggre-
gated 1,600,000,000. That these
fisheries are industries to-day, is
due entirely to artificial propaga-
tion.
Empress of Japan's Pipe.
A silver tobacco pipe with the
stem ten inches long is used by the
Empress of Japan. The bowl is
small; in fact, only a quantity of to-
bacco sufficient to give the smoker
two or three whiffs can be put into
it, then the ashes are knocked out
and the pipe is carefully cleaned be-
fore {it is refilled—a process gonc
through many times in the course of
an afternoon. ;
Model Train Wreck.
In a train wreck on the Missouri
Pacific Railway every car except one
went into the ditch at the side of
the track but not a person on the
train was seriously injured. The
train was running at twenty-five
miles an hour, yet not a car was
damaged by the sudden stopping.
The cars were new and heavy and
of firm steel framework.
* Censors.
Large cemeteries have a censor
who prevents the erection within
them of tombstones with unseemly
inseriptions upon them. Atheists
sometimes direct in their wills that
shoeking blasphemies be carved on
thelr monuments. The censor, how-
ever, sees to it that these blas-
phemies do not disfigure the ceme-
tery.
. Methodist Progress.
We record with sincere delight
and thankfulness that the Wesleyan
Methodist Church reports the largest
increase in her membership for
more than twenty years. The pro-
gress which shows’ that there are
nearly 27,000 more in the church
than a year ago, is largely due to
the revival in, Wales.—British Week-
ly.
The King Edward Coin.
Of late quite a number of natives
of West Africa have practically re-
fused to accept any other coin than
that having the profile of King Ed-
ward engraved upon it. They have
an idea that now Queen Victoria is
dead the British government may re-
pudiate coins bearing her image.
A Whistle For Use in War.
A doctor in the Japanese Red
Cross service has invented a whis-
tie which emits a very loud sound
with a very slight expenditure of
breath. It is for the use of soldiers
when they are wounded and desire
to attract attention. It ean also re-
place the identification tag.
Hypnotism and Crime.
A Boston scientist says that the
best hypnotist in the world cannot
make a really moral person do
wrong, From experiments he has
made he believes that 76 per cent.
of the human race, if unrestrained
by family pride and other like econ-
siderations, would steal.
Russians Not Cruel.
A Moscow writer, J. Novcow, says
that Russians are among the least
cruel peoples of Europe, instancing
in proof that no popular sports of a
brutal character, such as cock fights,
even boxing or pugilism, are ever ob-
served among them; much less is
Iyneh law to be met with.

The porters who carry the bag-
