New Horns FOR CoSsuMrTIvEs.-
Each year brings new hopes for con-
suinptive patients, and eminent men
think the discovery Of remedy for
this too common disease is now but IA
matter of time. Garcin has found
that inhalation of air containing a
small amount Of hydrohuoric acid gas
has remarkably good effect on con
sumptiyes. ~ a hundred cases SO
treated, Al per cent improved and 80
per cent were cured, Hydrohuoric
acid kills the bacilli Of disease, and AZ
phthisis is caused by the presence OF
these lower germs of life in the lungs
their destruction removes the cause OF
the disease. Hence, if TIE patient i,
not too far gone, 1t is reasonable tC
expect an Improvement.

News MINER; Friday afternoon
Nate Butts was down at the Bullion
Street bridge, and with him was one
of his bird dogs and the large St.
Bernard dog belonging at the Mer.
chants hotel Butts threw his bird
dog into the water just above the
dam, while the ST. Bernard was stand
ing by. In an instant the latter
plunged into the water, made for the
smaller dog, and taking hold of him
by the neck, made for the shore. AS
soon as he saw that the bird dog
could swim, he let go his hold, bu,
swan out into the stream between the
dam and his companion, as if to pro-
tect him against all danger of going
over the falls.

ECONOMICAL RAILROADING.

A Road Conducted by an Ohio
Man on the Most Extraordinary
System.
Chicago Herald.
Probably the most economically man.
aged railroad in the world is in Ross
county, Ohio. Its corporate name is the
Cincinnati, Hooking Valley q Hunting
ton railroad. 1t is only ten miles in
length, and was organized and built
mainly by John Karshner, wealthy
farmer. When the road was built he
sold the crops of his farm for one year
and bought a locomotive, which he
called the John KarShner. Then he had
built combination passenger and bag
gage car. He has been operating the road
for two years. At first he employed
conductor and freight agent. and fol-
lowed the customs of larger roads. But
being an active man, though over sew
enty years of age, he soon dispensed
with all SuperfiuOuS services, and now
he combines within himself the entire
list of railroad men, from owner and
president to conductor and brakeman.
His train goes twice day from Adelphi
to Kingston and return. 1t will stop on
signal at any farm house or cross road
for passengers or freight. Mr.. Harsh
brakeman, baggagemaSter, mail and
express agent, and even as news agent.
He sells no tickets; has no running ar
engagements with other roads; has no
running accounts for freight. passen-
gers or express; everything is cash. He
does not require bOOkkeeper, nor even
a clerk

borrowing lady's handkerchief: asks
permission to mark it, so that all ma
know it again. Permission being
granted, he proceeds to mark 1t accord
ihgly, but in rather unexpected man
ner, by taking pair of scissors and
shipping piece out of the center.
The owner naturally begins to look
somewhat uneasy. The peri Ormer asks
what is the matter, and finds that the
lady had not anticipated such very
emphatic mark, and begins to regret
that she gave the required permission.
The magician is prOfuse in his apollo
gies.
''Really, madam, I am extremely
sorry if have alarmed you. / can as
sure you would not hurt the handker-
chief on any account. / make it point
OF honor not to injure any article lent to
me-" and SO on.
The lady still looking doubtful, the
performer continues:
"Well, at any rate, if do any damage
L am always ready to repair it. Allow
me to relieve your anxiety"
So saying, he gives the handkerchief
rub between his hands, spreads it out,
and shows it uninjured.
The secret lies in the fact, which the
acute reader doubtless already begins
to suspect, that the handkerchief has,
in reality, never been cut at all.
The performer has beforehand pro-
vided himself with little piece of cam
brio four inches square. This he takes
by the center, with the corners hanging
down, and places it in the left hand,
clipped between the lowest roots of the
fingers and the fleshy part of the palm,
and with the folding angle pointing up
ward.
Taking the borrowed handkerchief by
the center with the other hand, he
transfers it to the left, the center lying
just over the little piece of cambria.
He next, with the right hand, draws
up apparently the center of the hand
kerchief, but really the little piece of
cambria, about an inch and a half be-
yOnd the hand. and ships this Off with
the scissors.
In order to ''reStore" the handker-
chief, therefore, all that is necessary is
to get rid of the remaining portion of
the little piece of cambria, which will
be a very easy thing to do.
The trick in the above shape is of ven
cradle antiquity and very widely known,
and it is therefore not unlikely that
some of your audience may be acquaint-
ed with it. You will therefore lose
nothing by offering to show them chow
it is DONE"
You show them the mutilated remains
of the little piece of cambria, explain
the process, and finally offer to repeat
the trick, so as to show the company eX-
actly how it was managed.

merely emptied another coalscuttleful

streets for an hour, talking earnestly
and volua bly, to himself in Sanscrit.
