Polite. Too Mich for Him.

A lady ON Fifth Avenue, New York,
quickly summoned q doctor:
.fOh, doctor, my husband is nearly dead.
He attended a caucus last night He made
four speeches and promised to be with his
fellow citizens again to-day. But oh. doc.

No, only last year. He worked hard

Political life, of short or long duration,
Is very exhausting, as is evident from the
great mortality which prevails among
public men. Ex-U. s. Senator B. K. Bruce,
who has been long in public life, says:
"The other day, when stepping into q
car at q crossing, found DIR. - within.
who eyed me up and down in a surprised
way, remarking:
"Why, Senator, how well you lookp
"sWell, l feel pretty WE'LL answered"
The doctor uttered an incredulous reply,
when the Senator frankly told him, in an
swer to an inquiry, that it was Warmers
safe cure which accomplished for him
what the profession had failed to do. Sem

s.gpipes in Medical Science

According to the United States Gasetts
. new use has been discovered for the
musical instrument of torture called the
bagpipes. Last year, it seems, Span
ish soldier was brought to the military
hospital at Havana in q state of cata-
lespy, and for fifteen months he showed
no signs of improving health. At last
the doctors ordered the bagpipes to be
played near his bed. whereupon the
man promptly recovered consciousness
and is now able to articulate. His first
words, I should imagine, were not
couched in the form of blessing; but
there may yet be . great future for the
bagpipes in medical science. Their mu-
sic may be strongly recommended to
persons suffering from nervous or hys-
terical disorders. and. generally speak
ing, to ssalodes imGgindries of every de-
scription. Whether the disease or the
remedy is the worst must be left to the
judgment Of the invalids themselves

4 Number OF Points to BE Considered by
Employer.
Cnriously enough. the term ''hired
man. is only applied to man that
works on farm. as though other men
were not hired. There are many grades
Of hired men. A good one is cheap at
high wages, and bad or Indifferent one
is dear if he works for nothing and
boards himself.
Usually, farmers do not seem to real.
ize the important position that such .
man holds, nor is sufficient caution ex-
ercised in filing it In the first place.
the hired man is brought continually
into contact with the boys on the farm.
He has seen considerable of the world,
1t least more than they have, and his
daily walk and conversation exert a ma
teriaI influence over them. Many q
farmers lad has received his first lesson
In iniqnity from such teacher, yet the

Does he care for the stock rs though it

he drink or gamble, and Is the language

A Hand-Weaving Machine.

An ingenious kind of hand-weavine
machine or loom has been invented in
Germany, by means of which silk, wool,
yarn. cords, strips of fabric, etc, can be
woven into pieces that may be applied
to various useful purposes in the house
hold. In using this machine the warp
threads are first arranged parallel
either on the backs of two chairs or Sc
cured to the knobs of two doors. The
warp threads are then passed through
the heddles, arranged on . suitable
frame, and the ends of the warp threads
are tied together and fastened to the
back of the chair upon which the person
operating the loom sits, and the other
ends of the threads are held in suitable
clamp on the table. The heddle frame
or comb is raised by means of the left
hand, whereby the threads are separated,
and then the shuttle is passed through
the warp threads, the latter are shifted,
the shuttle passed through in the in

ITS WIRES TO REACH MEMPHIS
TWENTY DAYS.
The Work Of Construction Impeded
by the Western UhiOn-Bulliing
Through Swamps.

Permits to erect poles upon which
Fourth streets, Fort Pickering, and to
the rear of the building No. SS Madi-
son street we've granted yes terday to
the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph
Company.
One OF the superintendent OF con-
struction was seen yesterday at the Of
fee of President MADDEN, and he
stat I'D the company expected to have
their wire stretched into Memphis in
about twenty days. A point fifty
miles from the city has been reached,
aud poles with wires street ched on
them have been put up that far, but
the most difficult part Of the work is
vet 10 be done. The route along the
Tyronza river was net very facile
one, but through the OF. Francis
river bottom, which stretches for
distance of forty miles on the
other side of the river,
the bog is in places almost inn
penetrable. A force OF about fifteen
men are employed, and the poles are
sunk about four feet in the ground.
The law gives the company the right
to stretch its wires on the right Of way
Of the Kansas City, Springfield and
Memphis railroad, which is 100 feet
wide, and the poles are being placed
at distance of about thirty.tive feet
from the track. The holes dug for the
poles were covered up a, FIRST by the
railroad company as rapidly as they
were made, but that proceeding was
stopped by an injunction. The Kansas
City road, working Of course with the
Western Union monopoly, was obliged
to throw every possible obstruction in
the way Of the Baltimore and
Ohio. Their opposition Is felt in
more than one way. When the
Western Union is building lines its
poles are distributed by the iailroad
company, but those of the Baltimore
and Ohio are delivered at side tracks
and have to be hauled along the line
on wagons, a very difficult affair in a
swamp like that of the st. Francis
river bottom.
