An Electro.Glass Piercer.

A method of piercing glass by the
electric spark has been brought out by
NJ. FACES. A rectangular plate of
ebonite has a hole drilled in it, and a
pointed wire put through from beneath,
until the point is flush with the upper
side of the plate on which the glass plate
is placed. This wire is connected with
one of the poles of an induction
coil, giving a spark, say, of twelve GEN.
timeters in length. A few drops of olive
oil are put round the point of the wire
on the upper end of the ebonite plate,
before the glass is laid on, care being
taken that no air bubbles are left in the
oil. Another wire from the other pole
of the induction coil is then brought
over the glass plate just opposite the
wire through the ebonite, and when the
coil operates spark will pass between
the points of the wires, piercing the
glass. In this way. by displacing the
glass, a series of holes can be pierced in
it.-CasselrS Maqdzine.

A Cure For Snoring.

1t is related of Sir Humphrey Davy,
an eminent scientist, that among his
minor discoveries was theory of snor-
ing and way of curing it. He attrib-
uted snoring to dry or parched state
of the larynx caused by mouth-breath-
ing, and in an inveterate case he tried
to cure it by putting piece of CASTLE
soap in the mouth of the sonorous Sleep
er. He found that this plan was success
ful-the oily ingredients of the soap lu-
bricating the larynx, while ''the soda of
the soap is forcibly expelled in the form
of strong alkaline language by the
snorer, who awakens the moment the
decomposition begins. Soft soap is
said to be more powerful remedy for
the same purpose. Snorers who prefer
to escape the application of this means
of cure may do so by retiring with
handkerchief tied under the chin and
over the head, which will keep the mouth
shut and the throat moist. Health

PERCHERON STATIONS.
Why Farmers Buy Them.

During these hard times, when near
ly every farm product is so low in price
that it hardly seems worth raising, we
see many of our most intelligent and
progressive farmers, who have not
hitherto been interested in horse breed
ing, buying finely bred high priced
Percheron stations. This to many is a
source of astonishment, but is the re-
salt of observation that large, we'll
formed active horses always have been,
and necessarily must continue to be, in
active demand at large prices on ac-
count of the scarcity in the United
States Of suitable stations for their
production, all such having to be i'm
ported. The yearly increasing demand
for such stations is the best evidence
that such investments are profitable.
And to this fact is due the development
Of large importing and breeding estab-
lishments, notably among which and
largely exceeding all others is that OF

THE BANK BURGLAR.
A''Class of Criminals That VIII Disappear
Entirely in the Near Future.

A.Class of Criminals That Will Disappear
Entirely in the Near Future.
There are many men in New York
City who could formerly boast of a pc
culiar distinction, that are now desig-
mated in police circles as members OF
the Order of Lost Nerves." said De-
tectiye Billy Pinkerton yesterday.
"They were once the flowers of the
profession of crooks. but long terms of
imprisonment took the sand all out Of
them
"What is the real cause of the de-
preston in the bank -burgling indus
tryP''
"The decay of the bank burglar,
chiefly, though the Improvement in
safes may have had some influence.
Still, mechanical safeguards would not
be so effective as they seem to be if the
bank robbers of to-day had the inge-
nuity of those of former times. But
now you can count on your finger nails
all the first-class burglars of that grade
who are not dead, in prison for long
terms, or nerveless because of long i'm
prisonment. There are just as many
burglars as ever, but the genius of the
profession appears to have died out
There are no such men now as Scott
and Dunlap. the Northampton bank
robbers; Joe Howard, Hope and
Brady, and Johnny Dobbs. OF
these, Scott is dead, Dunlap is serv-
ing long sentence in Massachusetts,.
and so is Dobbs; our people convicted
Joe Howard in Coldwater, Mich. ;
Brady is doing seventeen years in New
York; Hope is in San Quentin for an
attempted robbery in San Francisco;
big Frank Mccoy is a race-track tout
and bum in New York, and so the
record could be filed up for pages"
DO you anticipate revival of high
er grades of burglarv?"
mo; it will never occur. The ris-
ing general; on of thieves is destitute of
the intelligence necessary to make the
exact plans and close calculations
without which it is foolish to attempt
to rob bank. They are naturally and
professionally of grade too low for
the business. Then they get no en-
couragement from the old-timers who
are living out of prison. Such men.
after serving long terms, have no heart
for stealing. The best proof that
bank burglars no longer exercise much
influence on the fears of capitalists is
to be found in the fact that our agency
has been for some time arranging for
the employment of its operatives in
other fields. So far as the bank
burglars are concerned, there is, prac-
tically, nothing for us to do, and as the
race is rapidly becoming extinct this
feature of our business promises to dis
appear entirely before long" Chicago

ACTRESSES.
Their First Appearance Upon the Stage In
England.


Their First Appearance Upon the Stage In
England.
There seems no doubt that actresses
= did not perform on the stage till the
Restoration, in the earliest years OF
which Pepys says for the first time he
saw an actress upon the stage. Charles
II. must have brought the usage from
the Continent, where women had long
been employed instead of boys or
youths in the representation of female
characters. Coryat, in his 'Crudities
on Travels" 1911, as Mr.. Lee says, saw
actresses performing on the stage at
Venice. John Chamberlain. in letter
to Dudley Carleton, 1902, relates
hoax or swindle played upon the pub
lie by person who proposed, at high
price of entrance. to exhibit actresses
in theater. Chamberlain ventures to
think he had heard of actresses before
in England. Mr. Lee says women did
perform in Mosques which were played
before ROYALTY or among the aristoc-
racy by persons of nobility. Henry
VIII. is mentioned in the Chronicle"
of Hall. 1912, as having introduced
Mosques into England and having
taken a part in them himself. Edward
Ill, how ever, is said to have given
precedent to the dramatic masque
which flourished during the sixteenth
century in England. Mosques are said
to have been taken from Italy. Henry
Will, with Spanish wife who partici-
pated in them, may, however, have been
adopting the manners of Spain and
Portugal. Instances of women acting
in plays and of royal personages TAX
ing their part in them are afforded in
Portugal by Gil Vicente. who in the be-
ginning of the sixteenth century wrote
dramas in the Castlian languages,
which gave rise to the Spanish theater
and antic pated Lope de Vega and
Shakespeare by nearly century. 1t
is related to him: His PLAYS were en-
acted at the Court of King Emmanuel.
and the first of them was performed in
1904. They had great success, which
increased during the reign of Emman-
els successor, John ILL.,, who often
played part in them. 1t appears that
Gil Vicente acted himself in his
ter Paula Qady of honor to royal
Princess) was the first dramatic per-
former of her time in Portugal" Gil
Vicente wrote autos or religious plays,
comedies, tragic-comedies and farces.
Being the only dramatic author of his
time, he gained a European reputation,
and Erasmus learned Portuguese in or
der to read his works. 1t appears,
therefore, that in 1902 the public were
not averse to seeing actresses on the
stage, as in their disappointment they
wreaked vengeance on the furniture OF
the theater, breaking to pieces what
was in it. This was different from
what happened nearly thirty years
afterward. in 1929, when, as Mr.. Col
lier relates, French company were
not permitted by the public to perform
because they had actresses to fill
women's parts. .-Notes and Queries.

A NOVEL STRIKE.
How . Woman Conquered Her Husband
and Father-fn-Law.

anu
A novel kind of strike is reported. A
little Yankee girl married German
farmer of Pennsylvania, who had his
father with him in the house; and for both
of these the little woman was expected to
''do." One Monday morning, her baby
being then few weeks old, she thought
over the work she was expected to get
through that day unaided-her child to
care for, the wash to perform, including
the pumping and carrying of the water.
three meals to get for two hungry men,
and the beds to make.
She struck at O. m. and sat quietly
in her room until seven, when the two
big farmers came in to breakfast, raven
Gus. No fire in the kitchen-stove; table
not set; nothing to eat; the lady in her
room playing with the baby. ''You maj :
ried me-" said she calmly to her hui'-
band, "and now you've got to support
me; needn't work unless wish to.
They tried coaxing and threats with
out the least effect. She starved them
into a just and rational division of the
household toll. They discovered, to
their great surprise, that even married
woman has rights which she can enforce
if she will. We admire her pluck.-N.

"A Vassalborough Quaker sold a
man pair of cattle, and told him they
had never troubled him by breaking
down fences or walls. The next day
after buying them the purchaser found
them in a neighbor's garden. They
had broken over the wall, and were
tramping down the vegetables and eat
ing the corn. ''Look herer' said he to

cattle never troubled yp by being

5. At Wilkesbarre, Pa, terrible ac-
cident occurred at the IIillman mine,
within the limits of the city, at II
o'clock Tuesday morning. A brief
StOppage OF the air fans, caused by the
heating of journal, allowed tho gas
to accumulate in the mine, and a ter
rifle explosion was the result. Twelve
men were so badly burned that four of
them have since died. The recovery of
five of the others is extremely doubt
ful. The injured men, who are in the
city hospital, present u frightful ap-
pearance, their bodies being burned
all over. They were stripped and COW
cred with oil and are constantly bathed
with a solution Of oil and other ingre-
dieats. Some of the men have large
families. The battices. doors. parii-
tons. and walls were demolished and
the whole interior of the mine disar-
ranged. One hundred and fifty men
are thrown out of employment. The
mine is owned by the HIillmau COM
pany, of which George Parrish is presi-
dent. The mine will be idle for some
weeks. The damage to the mine is
estimated from $4,000 to $4,000.

AND STILL ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE PERFORMED BY
DIR. HESS

It would seem after learning Of this
case next to an impossibili,y Of per-
fecting a cure that any and all who
may be ailing perhaps of some loath-
some or dreaded disease and perhaps
have been abandoned. would hesitate
no longer but see DIR. Hess at his
next visit-when in Owosso which
will be Thursday of next week, Feb.
Goth, at the National Hotel.
The case which we wish to report
is that of Mrs. Sicklesleele living a
few miles north of here, and those
who know her have long Witnessed
her suferings from that terrible dis
case, Cancer. The location Of which
being on the face near the eye max
ing it all the .nOre to be dreaded az
her former physicians had told her it
was impossible to save the eye also
that it would be but q few short years
before death would end her suffer
ings. Such was the case when DIR.
Hess began treatment some three
months ago and Today there is hard
fy trace of the once ugly sore, so
we can only urge those who may be
ailing from either cancer, stomach or
hung troubles to delay no longer as
his success in those ailments seem to
be inevitable, and had we space
could mention other apparently just
as severe and difficult of cure, but
shall only merton right here that in
spite of the extreme cold and deep
snow that prev siled during his last
visit here there were those who came
for miles to see him, one woman in
particular came II miles to report
the amendment she was making, also
stated for no other reason would she
have been induced to come so far
when SO extremely cold and stormy.
Sic considers what has been already
done in her case no less than marve-
lous.
