INCIDENTS SHOWING CHARACTERIS TICS OF THE FINANCIER. fie Avoided Newpnper Men, but a lenver Ileportpr Tmpprd Illm Onco Sent One Man to Jim Kccnc How Tie Learned That Whisky Was a Hail Surveyor. Thoro was nothing ho (lefcstod moro than newspaper iiotovioty. Hn nsert to flodKO rcpovturs, and only one of thorn, as far as known, ever fairly ontwlttcd him. Frod Skiff, the city editor of the DcnviT Trihtiito, dttailcd reporter after reporter to interview Mr. Gould during one of Iuh visits to Colorado, but each brought back word that tho littlo rail road king would not bo Been and had posted Rentinels all along the hotel cor ridors to drivo intruders away. So Skiff et ont to do tho job himself. Ho hunted Bp a friendly Pullman car conductor and borrowed his uniform. Then he walked into the hotel and up tho stairs. "Look a-here," said he to tho first sentinel he met, "what does Mr. Gould proposo to do about that car? I must know right away, fur if he iHn't going to use it tomorrow I've got to take it back to Chicago." The sentry knew nothing about the oar, of course, and advised Skiff to see Gould about it himself. So Skiff success fully ran the gantlet of tho half dozen lackeys, growling all tho time about the bother of being compelled to attend to other people's busineHS. Judgo Usher, one of Gould's attorneys, who was in Consultation with his client when tho befgns sleeping car conductor was shown in, immediately recognized Skiff, hav-' lng known him back in Kansas. "When did yon get-out of the nows pnper business?" inquired tlio astonish ed lawyer. "I ain't ont of it," replied Skiff, "but I had topnton this disguise in order to get in hero to intorview Mr. Gould." , "Young man," said Mr. Gonld stern ly, "if you're a reporter, you can take yourself righk out of the room, for I am not to be interviewed. " Skiff argued the point und not being Invited to Ins seated coolly sat down on tho floor. "Unless yon put me out, " said ho, "I shall Htny here till you toll me what yonr plans are," This audacity pleased Gonld. He looked at Utihur, and seeing the lawyer ohnckling hourtily broke ont into a loud langh. "Well, what do yon want to know?" he said finally in the tone of a man who is wearied with objecting. Skiff knew he had triumphed. He produced his notebook, drew up to the table at which Gould sat and set indus triously to work putting out questions and noting the replies. The result was reliable forecast of the immense rail road enterprise in which Gonld subse quently embarked, and of which the publio would not otherwise have been forewarned. Less happy was the fate of the Chi cago reporter who followed Gould by rail down Into Indiana and finally over hauled his special oar and knocked at the door. Mr. Gonld responded In per son, and the reporter held up his card to that his victim could read it through the glass window. "The Chicago Bugle want your opin ion, " he shouted, "on the question of refunding the 6 per oents. " Mr. Gonld regarded him through the glass with such frigid expression that the interviewer has shivered at the mere memory of it ever since, bat finally opened the door on a crack and asked: "Young man, do yon want me?" "Yea, sir. I want to interview you on the subject of" Mr. Gould begau to shut the door. "On the subject of the devil 1" yelled the indignant reporter as he saw all his hopes fading away. "Young man, " said Mr. Gonld, open ing the door once more an inch or two, "on that subject you had better see Jim Keena He's got all the points and is anxious to give them away to spite old Flood!" Gould always believed that the secret of his ability to ovoroome others in any contest of wits was his temperate habit of life. He never tasted whiaky but once. In the days when he was a surveyor in a small way and was mapping a county on the praotioal line of getting lodgings and meals of the farmers in exohauge for marking correct sundials on thoir doorstep he became tired one hot, dusty afternoon. He came to a country tavern. In hi pocket was a 5 cent piece. It suddenly struok him that a a medi cine to relieve faintues be ought to buy a glass of whisky with his nickel. "I was ignorant of bnr nsnffo, " ho snid onco in di'Kcribingthe incident ton friend, "and so when a glass and n bottle were set before mo 1 llllid the tumbler chock full. Tho bartender made no protest, and I swallowed the big horn. Then I Went my way, trundling jny wheelbar row like measure of distances and occa sionally taking the lienrings with a sex tant. Never in my life had my work gone off half so blithesoniely, and for awhile I felt ns though making a map of the starry heavens instead of a very dnsty portion of this mundane sphere, .After nn hour or mnro of exaltation I grew sleepy and took a long nap under tree In a field. I awoke with nn awful Ivadacho and fonnd that the figures en tered in my norelMMik during tlio time of extra steam were quite incoherent. I was fully convinced that whisky was a bad surveyor, and I have never tried it fr any other purpose." Cor. Kate Fo ld's Washington. The Hough Harlt of Trees. Tho prnctienl cultivator understands that natnro makes provision for getting rid of tho bark of trees as tho trunk in creases in size. On tho growth of tho past seasou may lie seen small olive spots. These are formations of cork. From year to year, in subsequent devel opment, these little patches spread, real ly eating their way through tho bark. This is tho provision which nature makes for finally rifting the bark in each species of plant. These cork cells havo their own special lines of develop ment, and this is tho reason why each kind of tree has its own particular bark. Tho characteristics are so prominent that clever observers can select different kinds of trees by their bark even at midnight. As it is tho evident inten tion of naturo to get rid of old bark, it is a great help to tho tree to assist na turo in this respect, aud any washes or treatment which itids the plant in get ting rid of it is a practical advantage. Soapy water washes or lye water is nso ful, and even scraping has been found of great advantage. In a rough sort of way, lime wash is frequently used, tho only objection lxing tho white and glar ing color. It Is, however, the cheapest and the best of all bark treatment. Median's Monthly.

Ozona Courier. VnnUHprcteil Bonrces of Pliease. Recent investigations havo brought out tho fact that tin to are many cases of sovero neuralgia caused by abuormal oouditions of the nasal passages. In several instances tbcro have been found enlargements of tho bony structure or hard lumps of diseased tissue pressing against certain nerves and cautung the most excruciating pain. Removal of those has resulted in complete cure, although there have been returns of the growths after the first operation. Per sons who habitually suffer from pains in the head should have their conditions carefully diagnosed. Long oontinued suffering not infrequently brings about protracted and curable mental and nervous disorders. New York Ledger. The Economy of Pure Fod There are many persons who, from a misguided sense of economy, purchase food which they know to be inferior, o that they may thereby save, in order to moot other demands of the family. Handsome clothing and fine bouses in aristocratio neighborhoods are desira ble, wo admit, but not at the expense of the most important factor of our exist' enoe, especially when we know that pure, nourishing food is the immediate cause of pure blood, and consequently more perfect nerve and brain power. It is not only false economy, but positive crime, to obtain edibles below the stand ard for the purpose of sustaining both the mental and physical health of any human being. Baltimore Telegram.

Row Herrmann Astonished Snmo Trench Swindlers by Ills Tricks. "I am not a lucky card player at any time," said Professor Herrmann. "I did win 3,R00 at one sitting at Del mouico's otio night, but that was tho largest sum I ever won. I can play only with my friends, for in a company of strangers, if I wero to win nnd they were to find out that I was a conjurer, tho impression Wonld bo that I manipu lated tho cards, and that, you know, Would bo unpleasant. For amusement I frequently play and show a littlo par ty of friends what could bo done with cards by practiced fingers. Yes, many times I havo found my power to manip ulate tho pasteboards very linndy, and I have frequently been nMo to frustrate sharpers who purposed to fieeco tho un wary. "I remember that in 18(17 I sailed from New York to Franco to visit my relatives in Paris, and I carried four or five 20 goldpioces to givo to my friends' children. Ariving at Havre, I met a friend in tho person of tho secre tary of the Russian legation at Paris, who was also journeying toward tho capital. We went on together and occu pied toward tho sumo compartment on the train. At one of tho stations threo men came into our compartment, They wero Frenchmen, mid it took only a glance to show that they wero gentle men who lived by their wits. They were dressed in the latest fashion, though, and apparently found little tronblo in getting nn excellent living in their line of industry. When I gave tho conductor my ticket, I took out my pocketbook, and one of tho throe, a nice littlo Pari sian, caught sight of my gold double eagles. Ho was at my side, whilo his companions sat on tho opposito seat. "That flash of tho gold was enough for the fellow, and ho began his game. Ho asked mo if I wero an American, and if I knew anything about gold coins, this to open a conversation. I replied 'yes' to both questions, and on my ask ing why ho desired to know ho pulled a goldpieco from his pocket and asked mo what it was. He had got it for noth ing, ho said, in a card gamo. I told him it was a Spanish ounce worth tlO. Then ho and his friends began to play cards, and he said he would show them the gnme at which ho won the ounce. It was the old three card moute trick, well known in America, but compara tively new in Europe. The three sharp ers, posing as casual travelers, placed their layout, and tho littlo man at my side showed them how easy it was to pick np tho a' from tho overcoat, which formed the card table, Quito a little money changed hands, and I saw that my friend, the Russian, was get-' ting interested Liko all Russians, ho had a passion for gambling. " 'Have nothing to do with this gnme, ' I told him. 'Leave them to mo. ' I manifested an interest in the play, and when tho fellow sang out, 'A hun dred francs you can't pick up tho acol' I cried, 'I bet yon,' nnd as I flung down tho money I seized his hand, which was hovering over tho threo cards in a row ' aud overturned tho ace. Tho window was partly open, nnd swiftly picking up tho curds I flung them out, or rather they thought so. Tho sharpers raised a pretty row and talked very ugly for awhile. Then I thrust my hand into tho littlo man's vest and pulled out tho cards ono at a timo. You should havo seen tho looks on those fellows' faces. 'You're a conjurer, ' cried one of them. 'Yes, I am Herrmann,' I repliod, 'and I know threo card monto bettor than any of you. ' They left the train at tlio next top and sneaked away, looking very cheap. They were raw hand atit" Chicago Post. Perfumed nutter (lies. Frits Muller discovered patches of singular scales on the wings of butter flies, which sent out more than SO dis tinct odor. These scent scales arecalled androconia. An excellent study by mi croscopical sections of tho wings of some of our butterflies, by Professor M. 13. Thomas, appear in The American Nat uralist. Ho shows that thoso scale are the outletof unicellular gland situated at tho base of each scale. One especially prominent was detect ed beneath the androconia in the wing of Danai archippus. The surface of the wing above the gland is sometime cov ered with a great number of papilla?, from the end of which the scent scales project, or it may be like the ordinary surface of the wing. In the former case the androcouia are quite small and but one toeaoh papilla, at the base of which lies the gland. This gives the scent scale the appearance of a small rod placed iu a flask. The material elaborated by the' local gland and distributed upon the surface of the wing by the androconia is that which give to many of the lepidoptera their charactoristio odor. Philadelphia Press, Tea and Coffee aa Food. M. Stanislaus Martin state that, as the result of an experiment on three different criminals sentenoed to death who accepted the scientific trial in pref rence to hanging.

No. 8, on coffee, died in two years, burned as if an interior fire had calcined him. No. 8 lived on chocolate for eight months and died in a very ad vanced state of rottenness, as it were, devoured by worms. Loudon Lancet SMALL BULLET WOUNDS. Tho Deadly EflVrts of Modern rnjeetltes 1'pon the Human Hotly. Tho celebrated F.nglish surgeon, Pro fessor Victor Ilorsley, read a very in teresting paper beforo tho Royal insti tution on tlio effect of modern small proji-ctilo. In the conrso of his remarks ho said: "Rninn peoplo seem to think that a small bullet at n very high speed Will picrco tho tissues of tho body with out doing much general diinine. This, however, is erroneous. Tho bullet hur ries forward with it particles of tho substance through which it is passing, Slid thus practically becomes n larger projectilo. If a bullet 1)0 fired through a book, if cuts out disks of increasing diameter as it travcrsi tho pages. Hence, too, it is plain that the greater tho sectional area tho greater the dam age. As to tho heating of tho bullet, it has certainly been much exaggerated and its effects, if indeed it has any, may bo safely neglected. "Tho physical constitution of a body has a most important bearing upon tho behavior of a bullet entering u. hy does a bnllet of certain size and travel ing nt a certain rato simply perforate lomo snbstainvs, such as wood or iron, whilo in others, such as clay, brain, eto., it exercises a bursting and disrup tive action? Tho answer is quito sim ple; the destructive effects vary direct ly as tho viscosity of tho body. "This was established by some remark able researches on the effects of bullets on soft tissues mado by Hugnier after he had oliserved the results of the wounds inflicted in the fighting in Paris in 1848. Ho suggested, from observa tions made on certain dead organs, such as lungs, that tho reason of tho great lateral disturbance was that tho tissues contained water in largo quantity, and that the energy of the moving projec tile being imparted to the particles of water caused the dispersion of these in a hydro-dynamic fashion. "This suggestion was shown to be cor rect by Kocher in 1874-0. If a shot be fired through two tin canisters of equal size, tho one full of dry lint and the other of wet, it will simply perforate the former, but cause the latter to burst explosively. Iu the same way shots fired into dough have more or less disruptive effect, according to the percentage of water iu tho dough, and iu general the more fluid tho substance the greater the destruction. "Now, in lifo the brain is a more or less fluid body, though in a state of rigor mortis it is practically a solid, owing to coagulation of the blood and proto plasm. Hence a shot fired into the skull must have a disruptive effect and tend to burst it " Cleopittra's I'earl. Readers will easily call to mind the story which is told of Cleopatra, to illus trato her luxurious habits of living, that sho dissolved in her wino a precious pearl. No ono seems yet to havo ques tioned what must havo been tho effect upou tho drink, but Mr. Lewes ques tions quito pointedly tho possibility oi such solution. Wo aro very sheep in our gregarious- ness of error. When one bold or stupid mutton takes a leap, all leap after him. It is riiro to find men doubting facts, still rarer to find them doubting whethet tho facts bo correctly co-ordinated.
