Patrick McCabe, lately a section

damages for Injuries received while In
Its employ. His plea Is that while
working the foreman spoke to him "in
a. lond, profane and very boisterous
manner, thereby causing this plnlntlft
to be nervous and excited and there
by causing him to place himself In a
position of great bodily danger, and to
a greater degree than he otherwise
would have done." The orders were
given "In a very loud and boisterous
manner, backed up by many oaths,
such as 'Be smart,' 'He quick.' and
'Move yourself,' etc." Kansas section

Animal Instinct often gives a valua

across the stream, but with an arch

resist floods and the impact of float

mal has been acted on in many cases
lately, notably In the building of the
Great Bear Valley dam In California.
Engineers as a rule, build dams
straight across the stream, chiefly,
perhaps, to save material, but the
arched dam Is the more economical in
the long run.

WHY SOMUETY IS BEST.
EMPLOYES ARE LEARNING THAT IT
PAYS TO BE TEMPERATE.
Tha Itrnnhen Man t'seri In lie a famlllnr

I nrlnslty rtensniea of Indiil-jenre In
Strong I rink Mot I'p la AnllelpHlloll-.
It Is said that there Is as much
dilnUIng now as there ever
wna. hut that men do not
drink In tho same way aa of
old; nnd that public drunkenness Is
now rompnrnllvrly rate. Occasionally
we ewe men upon tho streets who are
under the Influence of liquor; but one
might go from one end of Memphis to
the other and not find a drunken man
In a day's Journey. Indeed, so rare
hns such a sight become In this city
thnt It excites universal attention. The
drunken mnn used to be a familiar
peisonngo. Now he Is nn object of cu
riosity. Cf rouiw there are plenty of men
who take their dally allowance of
liquor, but they do not hire a brass
hand or Are off a few bombs to adver
tise the fact. Men whose business per
mit of a certain amount or leisure
a:e apt to be convivial; but it Is well
regulated. It Is tho rare exception
when they cross the bounds.
The methods of modern business
have much to do with the spread of
temperance. Even If the head of an
estnhHshment Is temperate himself, he
does not surround himself with Inebri
ates. He knows that the details of
his business require cool heads and
eteady hands; nnd he will Insist that
his employes shall be sober men. Rome
times ho candidly declares that ho wll
do the di Inking for tho entire con
cern. When the head of a business is
himself a teetotaler he will probably
Insist still more stringently upon his
subordinates averting their faces from
the flowing bowl. He may tell them
that he has no control over private
habits, and that they are at liberty to
drink as much as they please, but that
If they do drink they shall not work
for him. Modern business is entirely
without sentiment. It objects to the
drinking man, not on moral, but on
practical grounds. The Judgment of
tho drinking mnn Is not apt to be awry
at times. Liquor will make a fool of a
sage under certain circumstances; and
a trusted employe mlu'lit fall his em
ployer at the cilllcal time if ho were
adlctcd to drink.
Employes are learning everywhere
that It pays to be sober. The steady
fellow who can always be found, and
when found Is sober. Is the mnn who
wins out. There are any number of
vocations which can be filled only by
sober men. No railroad In the world
would think of Intrusting a train to a
drunken engineer. Diunknrds would
not be tolerated on a police force, In
the postal service, or. Indeed, In any
business affecting the lives of people
or requiring exceptional Judgment and
care. Of courso thero are successful
men who dilnlt; but, as a rule, It will
be found that they drink discreetly
end never overstep the bounds of mod
eration. Where they drink to excess,
they are but the exceptions to prove
the rule. Tho millionaire, however. Is
master of his time, and If he chooses
to spend a part of It in riotous living,
ho can alTo:d whatever loss such a
course entails. He Is in such a posi
tion that his business docs not nec
e?earlly suffer when he blots out a few
hours from the course of time.
The employe who betlns by practic
ing Bohrloty during office hours Is apt
to continue It after office hours. Tho
after-dark Jag Is not conducive to
easy labor the next day. Furthermore,
the young man soon finds out that tho
plensures of alcoholism are not up to
the advertisements. Seen In the green
llnht of the next day, they have a cu
riously unreal and fantastic effect. The
humors of the cup are very much like
tho magnificent visions which one has
In dreams. They can't bo remembered
the next day. Perha;.s to tho general
sonte of disappointment are added a
headache and a positive conviction that
one has swallowed a mule by mistake,
Everything, therefore, conduces to
sobriety in our day. The number of
men who drink nothing at all Is In
creasing. The men who drink know
how to cany their liquor like gentle
men, and they drink lno or beer or
whiskey very much as they drink their
coffee or tea. It Is not a "drink" to
them in the ordinary sense of the
word; but a part of their dally allot
ment of meat and liquid.
One rcapon why alcoholism Is de
creasing Is the explosion of several
misconceptions regarding the use of
liquor. Formerly It was thought that
wine brightened the intelloctj and
that genius often lay dormant until
set agoing by tho sherry or the cham
pagne. Possibly wlno will unlock tho
Hps of the taciturn man, and make
him garrulous; but It Is absurd to say
that the wine has created the wit and
produced the thought, it has Bimply
beaten down the man's cuftoraary re
serve and mads him willing to speak
what was in liia mind. The capacity
to say bright things must have existed
and the light things must have been
there. Tbe wine has merely opened
the door. Many mythical stories have
been told about men of genlua writing
sublime poems and delivering lofty
orations when under the Influence of
liquor. It la all a mistake. No man
on earth ever wrote anything that waa
fit to live when bo was drunk. No
orator ever delivered a speech pos
sessing a particle of merit when be
was drunk. Sometimes this has
apparently happened; but the truth la
that In some way the orator became
suddenly sobered. Otherwise be would
cot have been able to think on his feet.
Another myth that has been explod
ed ta the idea that moderate drinking
Is good for a person. Modern medical
science has riven this Idea Its quietus.
It Is said that "n man Is as old aa his
arteries," and when the ossification of
the arteries begins tho end ia not far
off. Science now holds that constant
Indulgence In alcoholic, liquor hns a
tendency to osnlfy the artetles. It was
formerly held by medlcnl science thnt
If a person drank two drinks of whis
key a day It would be beneficial, for
this much liquor could be "digested,"
as it weie, without any harm to tho
system. Now,- however, the hnblt of
regnlnr drinking even in moderation
Is condemned.
It is fortunate that msdlcal science
has reached this conclusion, because It
Is bound to act at a restraint upon the
practicing physician who has a fond
ness for di ink. If there Is any one who
has no business drinking anything at
all It Is the family physician! and he
cannot very well continue to be a
drinking mnn In the face of the ban
placed upon alcohol by medical sci
ence. The nilnlHler of the Gospel
urges evety one to observe the Ten
Commandments, but he would not re
tain any parish long If It were known
that he was a persistent violator of
one of them. The physician must be
held to a like account. If medical
rclenco condemns regular drinking,
there Is no excuse for the practitioner,
and unless ho can rurb bis appetite,
he might as well retire at once from
his profession.
The conviction Is becoming pretty
general that sobriety Is tlie ben pol
icy, and tiint drunkenness does not
pay. Memphis (Tenn.) Commercial

QUEEREST NAME OF ALU
How a lltch 1'nrtner Kearlieft Agreement
llh Itnllnnv rcmpunr.
"Indinna Is full of towns wlih queer
names." said Mr. Herbert J. Sullivan, a
prominent business mnn of Indiuunp
i lls, at. (ho Now Wlltnrd. "but the
queerest of them all has so far been
left to lunr.ulHli In undeserved obscur
Hy. People who are acquainted with
thnt portion of darkest Indiana, which
lies In the neighborhood of Crawford
vllle, must have seen on the signboard
of a little railroad station as they
rushed by on a limited train this as
tonishing name, 'H'town.'
"llehind thnt apostrophe lies the
stniy of the Joke a rich old Indiana
farmer played on a great railroad com
pany. The farmer In question owned
several thousand acres of lnnd In ono
body. When the rnllrond was built It
was found necessnry to cut through
his lnnd. The ' right-of-way agenls
went to the old farmer and asked him
to set a price on a slip a few hundred
feet wldo running thiough tho place.
Ho laughed at them and said his land
was not for salo at any price. Ho
didn't believe In railroads, nny how,
and didn't want one running through
his property. They offered him a large
pi-Ice for the land, for they had found
other property owners In the vicinity
rensonahlo and did not care to start,
nny condemnation proceedings unless
it was absolutely necessary. But tho
eld former would nut listen to them.
Ills Income was twice as largo as ho
cared to spend, nnd ho rather enjoyed
tho position of blocking all of tho ef
forts of a great corporation.
"The claim agents made up their
minds that ilu-y would have to start a
suit, and were about ready to bring It
when they were very much surprised
to get a letter from the old fanner. 'It
you will let me name the town you aro
going to build on my laud,' he wild,
'I'll glvo you nil tho land you need.'
"They accepted his terms with
great glee. Of course, they expected
his vanity would lend lilm to na,mo the
town after himself, and they wero
quite prepared for that emergency.
B-.it he fooled them. A written agree
ment was drawn up and signed and
the deeds passed. Then they asked
him for the name of tho town ho had
selected.
"We'll Just call it Helltown,' he
said.
"They argued with him until they
saw It was useless.- They could not
back out, for the papers had already
been signed. Then they decided they
would get even In another way. They
left out the second, third and fourth
letters of the name and put In an In-i.ocent-looklng
apostrophe. And so
the name of tho village Is H'town to
this day." Washington Star.

MAKING PINS, HOOKS AND EYES.
Tha Interesting Jnnrner of a ttlt or Wire
Ihronth a V nnilerrnl Machine.
The manuracturo of plus has be
come such an Industry in the
t'nited Stntes that the mills
of this country prncllcnlly sup
ply tho world with Ibis needed
article, and yet the demand Is by no
means a small one. In 1000 the 75,
000.000 people In the Vnlted States
used flfi.OOO.dOO gross of common pins,
which Is equal to 9.500,(100,000 pins, or
an average of about 126 pins for every
mnn, womnn nnd child in the country.
This Is the highest nveraRe reached
anywhere in the use of pins. Ten
years Rgo wo used only about 72 pins
each.
The total number of pins manufac
tured In the rnlted States during 1900,
the census year, waa 68.8R9.2fio gloss.
There are 43 factories In all, with 2353
employes. The business has grown
rapidly during the last 20 years, for,
although there weie 40 factories In
1880, they produced only hnlf ns much,
employed only about hnlf tho capital
and only 1077 hands. There has been
a considerable Increase In the number
of women and children employed In
pin factories of Into years, which Is an
Indication thnt the machinery Is being
Improved and simplified and Hint Its
operation does not require so high an
order of mechanical skill.
Hocks and eyes are a product of
pin making and are produced at most
of the factories from material thnt
will not do for pins. Tho output of
hooks and eyes in 1000 was 1,131,821
gross.
Pins and hooks and eyes aie turned
nut by automatic machines In such
quantities today that the cost of man
ufacture Is practically limited to the
value of the brass wire from which
(hey are made. A single mnchlne docs
the whole business. Colls of wire,
hung upon reels are passed into the
machines, which cut them Into proper
lenihs, and they drop off Into a recep
tade and arrange themselves In the
line of a slot formed by two hais. When
they reach the lower end of the bars
they are seized and pressed between
two dies, 'which form the heads, -nnd
pass along Into the grip of another
steel Instrument, which points them
by pressure. They aro then dropped
into a solution of sour beer, whirling
as they go, to be cleaned, and then Into
a hot solution of tin, which is also
kept revolving. They here receive
their bright coat of metal and are
pushed along, killing time, until they
have had an opportunity to harden,
when tney are dropped Into a revok
ing barrel of limit and snwdiiFt, which
cools and polishes them at the same
time. Because of the oscillation of (ho
bian they work gradually- down to
tbe bottom of tho barrel which Is a
metallic plate cut Into slits Just big
enough for the body of the pins, but
not big enough for the head to pass
through.
Thus they aro straightened out Into
rows agiln, and, like well-drilled sol
dlers, pass along toward the edge of
the bottom, and slide down an inclined
plane, still hanging by their heads
until they reach strips of paper, to
which they aie Introduced by a curious
Jerk of t'.ie machine. The first thry

wrapped up and on their way to tho
big department stores, where they are
sold at from five to 10 cents a gross
A machine Is expected to throw out
several thousand gior-s an hour.
Needles aro made by a similar ma
chine. In 1900 there wero made 1.39T.
633 gross of machine needles, 212. GS9
gross for shocmaklng 324,470 grora for
ordinary household sewing machines,
307,420 gross for knitting machines,
and the rest for other kinds of sew
ing nnd knitting machinery, generally
for factory use. We Imported $118,001
worth of ordinary needles, most of
them from England.
Hairpins and safety pins and other
kinds of pins are manufactured In a
similar manner. We made 1.189,101
gross of hairpins In 1890. Both need
lea and hairpins are manufactured to
a greater extent in Europe than plain
pins. Safety pins, however, are de
cidedly American, and of these we
make on an average 1,000,000 gross a
year. American Exporter.

lah, who lawgiving bo much trouble In
Somalllnnd, worked one ot those "mira
cles" which drew many waverers to
hla banner. An English man-of-war
was sent to demonstrate off the coast,
and at night threw a searchlight on to
the Juugle-covored mountains. Abdul
lah was In hiding there, and knowing
from hU visits to Aden what It was
which hla followers hailed as a new
star, had the wit to use the circum
stances to his own end. He told them
that the light was seeking him, and
when tho electric rays actually flooded
his encampment be cried in triumph,
"Will you deny now that 1 am under
tho eye of God?" a claim which was
admitted with prostrations by the Som
ali. London Globe.

Catnrrh Poisons,
Catnrrh is cnpnble of changing nil the
life-giving secretions of the body into
scalding fluids, which destroy und inflame
every part tlicy come in contact with. Ap
plications to the places affected by catarrh
cun do little good save to soothe or quiet
disagreeable symptoms. Hence it is t lint
gargles, sprays, ntomixers and inhalants
only serve as temporary relief. So long as
the irritating secretions of catarrh con

A PLANET'S MOUNTAINS.
Great Elevatlona on Venua Have Been
Dlacovered by an Astronomer.
Tho star gazers are continually see

surround this one. Of course the great
mass of tho public, having no means
nf verifying or disputing successfully
the statements of the men of science
are obliged to accept them as true.
With Mars and Its intricate system
of canals. If not Its actual inhabitants,
thanks to tho delicate investigations
of late years, everybody Is pretty well
acquainted. Now Herr Arendt, who
Is a German and therefore not a trlfier,
announces the discovery of mountains
on Venus. To observers hitherto the
planet has seemed wrapped in an Im
penetrable envelope of cloud, which,
when near the earth. Is the cause of
its astonishing brllllnnry, but Herr
Arendt, who bos had the Instruments
of the Urania observatory at Berlin
to work with, considers that he has
detected markings on Venus which In
dicate the presence of great elevations
seen from time to time through the
clouds surrounding It. Novel as the
suggestion Is, It is but a revival of an
old Idea. Long ago SehrotPr fancied
he saw evidence of mountains on
Venus In the ra?gertness of the termi
nator that Is, the lino where the light
and shade meet, such as the inner line
of the crescent moon. He went so far
as to measure them and announced
that they were 25 miles high. But
then no one had believed him.
No Place for a Lazy Cat.
In the wine cellars at Llmehouse In
London are 20 miles of lanes, lined
on each side by huge casks of wine.
They are a paradise for rats and the
only way In which the pests are kept
within reasonable limits as to numbers
Is by employing a small army of 300
cats. The3 cuts must, catch rats or
starve and tho result Is that they are
probably the most skilled force of rat
catchers In the world. As soon as a
cat becomes old and lazy she is re
placed by a young and active one, so
that the morale of the force never
suffers from bad e.amplo.
