WEARS A NUTMEG.

How Senator German Cured a Severe At
tack OF Neuralgia.
United States Senator German, Of
Maryland, always wears nutmeg upon
a string around his neck, the reason OF
which he thus explains:
For many years he has been a sufferer
from regular attacks of neuralgia. On
some occasions he has been confined to
his home day or two, so intense was
the pain. An old lady friend once
called upon him while he was suffering
from one of his attacks. She displayed
so much sympathy that she almost for
got to name the request she had to
make-but she did not. Upon learn
ING that the Senator was troubled with
neuralgia, she volunteered to give him
an infallible remedy, provided he would
promise not to laugh at her or accuse
her of being a believer in coniuration,
spells, etc. The Senator. in a good
natured way, informed her that he was
under treatment from an eminent ply
sician, who sometimes afforded him
temporary relief. The old lady finally
prevailed upon the Senator to give her
remedy fair trial, whereupon she sug-
gested that he should get an ordinary
nutmeg, drill hole through it, attach
it to piece of string or ribbon and
wear it around his neck continually.
The Senator, while suffering one day,
determined to give the nutmeg remedy
a trial. He followed the old lady's di-
rections, and in few hours felt greatly
relieved. He has worn the nutmeg
since, and is seldom troubled with
neuralgia. He has consulted several
physicians on the subject, and they
state that the nutmeg possesses GER
tain virtues which may have effect Oh
neuralgia pains. Chicago Journal.

GOTHAM SNOBBERY.
The Fine Lines Drawn by the Members

The Fine Lines Drawn by the Members
of the New York '.Aristocracy."
IN. Y. Cor. San Francisco Argonout.l
Snobbery is rampant now, and no line
Is drawn more finely than that which
separates the world of fashion from trade
and from "the city," as the business part
of the town and its inhabitants are now
called. All this is quite recent, too. am
a native Of New York and l remember
very well when rich merchants, doctors,
brokers, Wall street operators and even
the heads of great retail shops found their
vocations no bar to social recognition.
Not SO now. Against them all the pro-
testing hand is raised. The banker is
recognized, but not the broker. A few
years ago the jolly, free, lively, richly
dressed and spendthrift broker was con-
sidered no end of a good fellow. Now he is
looked on as vulgar and noisy man who
conducts gambling operations for clients
and drinks champagne over bar. The
doctor receives money from society.
Hence he is as much society's servant as
the dry goods merchant, and neither can
be regarded as an equal. In a word,
society in New York to-day is power
that makes it's own laws and draws them
more severely every season. There are
only two things about it that a New
Yorker finds to admre-its respect for old
residents of the town and its contempt for
every other society. 1t snubbed an earl
and blackballed lord at one of it's clubs
last month without moments hesitancy.
Its members form the only leisure class
we have in America. They detest trade.
Pm sure that have made great mistake
in admitting that my Boston friends had
a father who was an apothecary, and
that they once took boarder to oblige O
distant cousin.

Some Stories of the shark.
TLondon Telegraph

A French naturalist asserts that the
shark prefers white men to Hack, which
we believe is pretty well known; but he
goes on to pay US, as a people, curious
compliment by saying that Of all persons
sharks like Englishmen most. The same
gentleman declares that shark cut open
at Marseilles was found to contain man
clad in armor in its stomach, while inside
Of another shark there was found whole
horse! 1t is comforting to read that the
shark is kind to its young. taking its in
fant into its stomach in case of danger.
One would think such an act Of virtue en-
tirely above a sharks moral nature, and
that il ever it did swallow its offspring it
would be rather to digest it than to pre-
serve it,

USES FOR SHARKS.

Mapufac curing Industries.

Parts OF Their Carcasses Used by vari-
Gus Manufacturing Industries.
1t is fact which affords some graft
fication, that the shark, that cruel and
voracious prowler of the deep, can be
put to good use after he has been capt
ured- The skins of certain sharks are
used in jewelry for sleeve buttons and
the like, and when dried and cured
take polish almost equal to that Of
stone and greatly resemble the fossil
coral poT5teS. The vertebre of the
shark are always in demand for canes.
The opening filled with marrow during
life is now fitted with a steel or iron
rod. The side openings are filled with
mother-of-pearl, and when polished
the cane is decidedly ornamental. In
India, in 1880, $500, 900 worth OF shark
fins were shipped to China for food.
In the islands of the Pacific the fish ID
in great demand for its teeth, which
are manufactured into weapons of vaTi-
GUS kinds, ranging from spears to
swords and daggers. The teeth are
all serrated or saw-edged. aud make
terrible wounds. The base of the tooth
is bored with some small instrument,
and forty to fifty of them are tied or
lashed to hardwood sword, forming
the edge. The hilt is protected by
crosspieces armed in the same way.
SO effective are these weapons that the
natives of these islands wear an armor
made of rope especially to protect
themselves from the sharks teeth. -

A Remarkable Filly
TJardin (Tex.) Special.1

Tex, has a roam filly which he has used
some in collecting and driving cattle.
This spring, after he had quit gathering
cattle he turned her in pasture where
there are other cattle and some cows and
yearlings. l noticed that the filly ran
gith the cattle and not with the other
horses. One day the FLY was seen rum
ming COW, and my curiosity was
aroused; so | watched after that, and
found that the young mare kept the cattle
together in the best possible manner
When one would get away from the herd
and it was discovered, the FLY would &c
and run 1t back to the other cattle.

ELECTRIC BASEBALL.
How an Audience in Detroit Viewed .
Game Played in Chicago.

Electrical Reyiew1
Two years ago, nearly, three Yankee
like telegraph operators living in Nash
vile, Tenn, turned their enthusiasm for
baseball to good account Their names
are j. q. Rust, E. w. Morgan and A. III.
Stewart, and they conceived the idea of
reproducing almost Instantly a vivid view
of the exact situations and plays in a
game oAbase-ball, played in Chattanooga.
for instance, before an audience seated in
a hall in Nashville. To do this they leased
a wire from Nashville to Chattanooga, one
end Of which was on the ball field with an
expert operator, who was accurately in
formed in baseball playing, seated
watching the game and Immediately tele-
graphing each play as it progressed. At
the Nashville end Of the wire were two
other telegraphic and baseball experts.
As they received the record from their
partner, one man reproduced it verbally
to the audience, while the other man
manipulated cards bearing the names Of
the players, around painted view of the
ball field placed in full view of the audi
ence.
During the recent game in Detroit, Nor
gan &c Co., the name of the ingenious
firm, presented their unique entertainment
before crowd of six hundred persons in
the Detroit Opera house, vino had come to
watch the progress Of the Detroit Chicago
match. On the stage was a huge land
scape-it would have done well as drop
curtain-having well-painted perspec-
tive Of a baseball diamond and outfield
AT the points on the picture representing
the positions of batsman, pitcher, catcher
and basemen are openings into which NAV
be showed cards bearing the names of
players, and into which these names are
placed as the telegraph operator seated
at his instrument reads to the audience the
progress of the game, even to the smallest
details
Next to an actual view of a game of
baseball, and indeed very close to such a
view in interest, is the witnessing of such
a presentation of a game. The audience
during the first four or five innings Of the
game was wrought up to a very high pitch
OF enthusiasm. For instance, when the
operator read-with Dalrymple's name ap-
pearing as batsman--"Foul fly to left"
the audience fairly held its breath, and
when the next instant the operator called
out, land out to White" there came a
storm of applause, just such as is heard on
through the calling of strikes, balls, long
hits and short ones outs, errors and safes,
the excitement was intense.

Could not Give the Countersign.

A good story is told on S. J. Collins,
the popular and wide awake superin-
tendent of this division of the st. Paul
road, by the Whitewater Register.
The first evening that the Custer Rifles
were put on guard at the car shops,
Mr.. Collins started for the station near
by to take a train to the city, but at
theborder line sentinel stopped him.
3" But l am the superintendent of this
department of the road" :. No matter, =
was the response, :. nothing gets by
here without the countersign except a
locomotive" So Mr.. Collins returned
to the shop, mounted an engine and
was carried by the sturdy guard ac-
cording to Hardee. He told the story
TO Gov. Rusk and added that his first
care each morning thereafter would be
to get the countersign. The governor
repeats the story with no little relish.

Our village never employed an attor-

times in its existence as a village than

who voted for an attorney, is that the
president is not capable of looking

is true; but we have an intelligent
board. and think there is no need of
an attorney. J. W. G.
