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

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

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.

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"

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

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

however, is erroneous. Tho bullet hur

substance through which it is passing,

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

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 "

a production of thnt opera nt tho Varie

up which transformed li i lit into an

tho United Htates navy, who was then
stationed nt New Orleans. One night an
old salt of Murray's command was sit

When Sir Joseph Porter mado his first
entrance, ho gazed upon him lor a mo

senses, nnd then muttered tn himself
sotto voce, "I'm blest if that isn't old
Murray."
Rising from his seat and making a

yonr honor." Tho special officer was
going to eject him, but tho manager of
tho house, who had observed him, for

fellow enjoy himself to his heart's con
tent so long as ho did not become so
