Geitina Bid Of Rlamishes.

A man with small mole on his chin
climbed up the stoop of doctors Office
in West Nineteenth street not long ago.
81 want to get rid of the mole, . he
said, when young doctor came out and
asked him what the matter was.
"Step right in, and I'll do it," the
doctor responded, as be reached for a
large mahogany box containing pol
ished electrical machine, with insulated
wire running from the battery to neat
carved handle. The doctor sat the pa
tient down in an easy chair, threw his
head back, and dressed the mole deftly
with a local anastheric that gradually
benumbed the flesh until it was robbed
of all sensitiveness. Then the doctor
fitted tiny strip of platinum into the
handle and turned on the full force of
the battery. The platinum was aglow
with pure white heat in twinkling.
The doctor drew it slowly and carefully
through the mole as if he we're using
razor blade. The patient felt the glow
Of the intense heat through his cheek, but
the burning away Of the mole was as
painless as it was rapid. When sooth-
ing salve had been applied the doctor
sent the patient away happy. He told
hirn that in less than month the wound
would heal without leaving scar.
Few of the public know of the process,
although it is simply an elaboration of
the one used to remove cancers and SINH
lar growths on the neck and BODY
young Police Surgeon Satterlee said.
& Ladies who would be otherwise fault
less in complexion can have blotches
painlessly removed by the same process
without marking the flesh. Superfuous
hair can be permanently eradicated in
seconds time by single touch Of the
platinum needle. Its greatest usefulness,
however, is in removing tattooing marks
from the arms and hands. About nine
boys out Of every dozen are crazy to dis
figure themselves that way, and they re-
gret it for years afterward because they
think the Disagreement is for life. No
body ever made a bigger mistake.
ANY piece Of tattooing on the body
can be entirely removed, and, if properly
done, no scar need be left. The process
is a gradual one, because the eradication
has to be done piecemeal, and care exer-
cised to prevent the platinum needle
from burning more than half through
the inner cuticle. This caution will
render the soaring Of the skin after the
wound heals impossible a-NeD Y0rz

A Randolph (N. ~ letter to the New
York Sun says the methods Of maple
sugar manufacture have changed since
the days when the boys were kept out Of
school the last part of the winter term
to gather elders, from which the pith
was forced and the bark stripped of,
making tube through which the sap
was to be conducted to the open wooden
bucket. Then the trees were bored with
augers, the taps introduced, and the
work Of gathering the sap begun, the
product going to huge log trough, half
filed with leaves, which gave to the
sugar the aroma and flavor Of the spicy
woods, including worms, snails, etc
Now the tops are perforated steel
tubes, driven in with hammer; the
buckets are Of tin, and closely covered;
the trough has given place to the cabi-
net, fitted with pipes leading to the boil
ing pan, and all are contained in a neat
building. Theproduct is much lighter
colored, and it lacks the flavor Of other
days.

Artin Phenomena

a crowd standing upon the snow 1t
a distance Of 100 yards is exaggerated
and distorted beyond recognition. Once
having fingered a little behind the Fest
Of the party, the writer was startled at
seeing long line Of shadowy dog sledges
moving silently through the sir at dis
tance of from eight to ten feet from
the ground. The mock sledges are in
verted in position, and the mock dogs
trotted along with their feet upward in
the air, but their outlines were as clear
as those Of the real sledges and real dogs
underneath. The curious phenomenon
lasted only moment, but It was sue,
ceeded BY others equally strange, until at
last We lost faith in our eyesight entirely
and would not believe ii the existence
Of anything unless we could touch II

rhrushes As Insect pestruYsrs.

Says writer in tfe London LiUe StocE
Journal A friend Of mine, an animal
preserver, lived at Southwell, when a
gardener used to bring him in daily
a number of thrushes. At last he said to
him, "Why do you keep bringing me in
so many thrushes9" s'Why,n said the
gardener, ''they are eating all my straw
berries" 81 don't believe it, said my
friend. Il will come in and see" So
in he went accordingly, and found the
gardener, with gun in hand, ready to
shoot black bird that had just drop
ped in among the strawberries. "There, =
said the gardener, 'syou see, don't you,
what he is doing2" and suiting the ac-
ton to the word, raised his gun to his
shoulder to shoot. "Stop," said my
friend, ''let US see if it is as you say,
when the bird rose up with something
in its mouth and few over the wall into
the adjoining grounds. 'Now," said
my friend, 'let us 60 and see what he
has got" They went and found the
bird breaking a snairs she'll "There,
said my friend, "you see it is the snails
that eat your Strawberries, and not the
birds, as more careful examination
subsequently proved. Need say he
killed no more thrushes on that accountg
The fact, was the summer being dry
the snails harbored there, the thrushes
found them, and we're taking them as
food for their young ones.

The first indulgence is In some sense
legitimate; is almost enforced, either by
acute pain or chronic insomnia. The
latter is perhaps the most dangerous
The pain, if it last for weeks forces re-
course to the doctor before the habit has
become incurable Sleeplessness is more
persistent, and to most people much less
alarming thing; and it is, moreover, one
with which the doctors can seldom deal
save through the very agents of mis-
chief. Neuralgia, relieved for time by
.chloroform or morphia, may be cured
by quinine; sleeplessness admits
Of hardly any cure but such
complete change of life as is rarely pos
sible, at least to its working
victims. And the narcotist habit once
formed, neither pain nor sleeplessness is
all that its renunciation would involve.
The drunkard, it must be remembered,
gets drunk, as arule, but occasionally.
Save in the last stages Of dipsomania, he
can do, if not without drink, yet with /.
out intoxicating quantities of drink, for
days together The narcotist who at
tempts TO go for whole day without
his accustomed dose suffers in twenty
four hours far more cruelty than the
drunkard deprived of alcohol in as
many days. The effect upon the stom-
ach and other organs, upon the nerves as
well as the brain, is one of indscribable,
unspeakable discomfort amounting to
torture; a disorder of the digestive
system more trying than sea sick
ness, disorganization of the
nerves which after some hours of un-
speakable misery eliminates in conyul-
siye twitchings, in mental and physical
distress, simply indescribable to those
who have not felt it. Where attempts
have been made forcibly and suddenly to
withhold the accustomed sedative they
have not infrequently ended in few
days in madness or death. In other cases
the victim has sought and obtained relief
by efforts or through hardships which, in
his or her best days, would have seemed
impossible or uncomfortable. One woman
thus restrained escaped in deshabille
from her bedroom on winter night of
rotin cavarifx. ro,, for ,,,sIae tL ro,<~I ~, :,
snow, and was fortunate enough to find
chemist who knew something Of the
fearful effect of such privation and
had the good sense and courage to
give in adequate quantity the poison that
had now become the first necessary Of
life. In word, narcotics, one and all,
are, to those who have once fallen under
their power, tyrants whose hold can
hardly ever be shaken off which punish
rebellion with the rack, and with all
those devices Of torture which medieval
and ecclesiastical cruelty found even
more terrible than the rack itself; while
the most absolute submission is rewarded
with sufferings only less unendurable
than the punishment of revolt. De

opium were TO the tortures of resistance

To love as fond as mine,
Fond as the flower that turneth
To where the sunbeams shine.

And eyes will secrets tell,
Love firm as rocks still Drawing

TREATMENT OF THE HAIR.

S. I'll. NJ, Detroit, Mich, writes "See-
ing an inquiry about remedy for hair
that is falling out, in the Housekeeper, /
venture to make few suggestions. I
have observed that hair which is in
weak state and either falls out or grows
feehly is benefited by frequent cutting
Of the ends and clipping the hair all over
the head. This last requires some skill,
few persons understanding how to- cut
the split ends, so / do not advise chat ex-
cept where one lives near good barber.
My own opinion is, that most of the
washes and restoratiyes recommended
for the hair owe what efficacy they may
possess to their power to excite and slim
ulate the scalp. Friction with the hair
brush is good thing, because it stimu-
lates the skin. When the affection is
caused by languid circulation of blood
in the part this treatment often succeeds,
but when the hair-bulbs are withered
and destroyed, or the scalp much attenu-
ated, the restoration of the hair becomes
an impossibility I have known very
good results from quinine and whiskey
rubbed on the scalp also from sage tea.
The only remedy for badness are pre-
tentative measures taken while the scalp
is yet healthy and the hair strong. /
clip my hair at the ends once every
month; brush it well every night be-
fore retiring and again in the morning
when have time. / am middle-aged,
but have fine head of hair, so infer
my plan is good enough to be described.
One thing more-keep the head free
from. daEdruff. I think washing the
head with an egg is the best plan. As a
rule, people who study and think great
deal grow bald. The first evidence is a
strip of wayy hair right over the brain
This wavy hair falls out first and leaves
bald spot if some preventative is mo-
found. Again, people who are greatly
worried and troubled grow gray young
and often lose their hair. l am con
WINGED that the state of the mind and the
manner in which ones brain is used hai
a great effect on the hair"

A RAILWAY "REMINISCENCES OF
THE UNITED STATES.


1t is fifty-three years since the first
trial trip was taken on the Albany and
Schenectady Railroad. The following
amusing note of the occasion is from the
Electrical Review -".The cars were coach
bodies from an Albany livery stable,
mounted on trucks. The trucks were
coupled with chains, leaving #. or #.
slack, so that when the train started the
passengers were 'ierked from under
their hats and in stopping were sent fly
ing from their seats. The locomotive
fuel was pitch pine, and dense volume
of the blacklist smoke foated toward the
train. Those on top of the coaches had
to raise umbrellas, but in less than a
mile the cloth was burned off, and the
frames thrown away. The passengers
spent the rest of the time whipping each
others clothes to put out the fire, the
sparks fro m which were as big as ones
thumb nail. Everybody had heard of
the trip, and came thronging to the track
as though presidential candidate was
on exhibition. They drove as close as
they could get to the railway, in order
to secure place to look at this new
curiosity. The horses everywhere took
fright, and the roads in the vicinity were
strewn with wrecks of vehicles"

A REMARKABLE CASE.

Miss Ann Falvey, sister of the late
Hon. Thos Falvey, died at her home on
Sixth street, at 7 o'clock Thursday morn
ing, of cancer aged forty-eight years.
The case is pronounced the most re-
markable one on record in this part of
the country. The cancer, which was in
the breast, covered the whole of the
breast, and was as solid as u piece of
granite, exceptin few spots. Although
the lady had been afflicted with the
disease for over two years she never
made it known to any person until a
few days before her death, when she
called upon physician, and then she
did not want it made known until in
formed that she could live only q few
days. She was lady highly esteemed
for her many excellent qualities, and her
death will be incurred with sincere sor-
row.--Racine Advocate.
