Choice Of a Summer Resort.

From the New York Herald
The London Lancet gives some timely counsel
to the large classes of overworked, nervous and
otherwise invalided people who in taking q
summer trip are compelled to consult health
before pleasure.
In deciding between seaside, mountain or in
land resort of moderate elevation, the Lancet
gives decided preference to the marine resort
for persons convalescing from fever or acute
diseases and suffering from pure debility, with
out fever or much irritabiltiy. Persons who
have recently suffered from pneumonia or
acute bronchitis, it says, should 90 to sheltered
and mild marine resorts, as also patients in the
earliest stages Of phthisis. For cases of break
down from simple mental overwork or over
worry 1t recommends the mountains or the
mildly stimulating air of highlands.
These suggestions, il carried out by delicate
people who go summering, may prove very
useful. Sea air and mountain air, both pure
and both Astounding in ozone, act very differ
emily on different people. Victims of rheu-
matism often find the air of both mountain
and seaside too cold and damp. Such patients
and many other sufferers who cannot stand
stimulating air will frequently do well at an in
land resort of moderate altitude. For the aged
or infirm, it may confidently be said, cold
places, whether by sea or on high mountain
SUBMITS, are not desirable, unless for a few
days. 1t is also unsafe for aged subjects of
chronic bronchial catarrh to pass suddenly from
very dry to a very humid climate, or for
tuberculous patients above fifty years, and per-
haps for diabetes, to stay long in high alti-
tudes

Ruled Off the Track.

The New York Tribune says that after the
race for the Lorillard stakes at Monmouth
park Tuesday Mr.. Cassatt, the owner of Eric.
made formal complaint of foul riding against
Brant, who rode Kern. the stable companion of
j. b. Haggins' Salvador, the winner of the race
After investigation the judges sustained the
charge and ruled Jockey Brant off the course.
The complaint was not made before the judges
had placed the horses at the finish so that Sal
water still stands the winner. Had the
charge been made before the horses had been
placed by the judges the second horse (Dwyer's
Longstreet would have taken the stakes.
which were worth $40, 900, as the racing rules
require that if a charge of foul riding is sus-
tanned against one horse OF "a stable before the
horses are placed by the judges no stable COM
panion can take prize.
Several OF the jockeys testify that Kern was
run across the track in the last half mile of the
race in such manner as to interfere with all
of the other horses except Salvador. Philip
Dwyer openly charged Mr.. Hsggin with having
put the colt Kern in the race so that he could
foul other horses and let Salvador win.

Kaiser Williams Broad Hint.

Berlin Letter to the Providence Journal
According to story circulated in Berlin, the
emperor appeared at o'clock one morning
most unexpectedly at the barracks of dragon
regiment. The soldiers were ready for maneu-
vers, but the commanding officer had not yet
arrived The emperor waited half an hour,
when the delinquent arrived. His feelings at
the sight of his sovereign can better be i'm
agined than described But the emperor did
not say word. He assisted at the maneuvers,
made several observations, as usual, and finally
left without addressing a word to the officer in
fault who considered himself lost
The colonel went home in despair, expecting
from moment to moment to receive the news
of his disgrace. With the customary expedi-
tious ways of the emperor, he knew he would
not have long to wait. But the afternoon
passed, then the evening, and still nothing oc-
CURED. He had not dared to leave the house.
in dread of the events which were to decide his
future career. Finally, as the evening wore on.
he ventured out for walk On returning
home he found a little package addressed to
him. No letter or message accompanied it.
He hastily opened the mysterious parcel and
found it contained an alarm clock

DIR. M'DOW'S INSULTS.
How He is Said to Annoy the Widow of
the Man He Killed.


Charleston, S. c., special to the Philadel-
phia Press says: Since the rendering Of the
verdict Of not guilty in the case against DIR.
Mellow for the murder of Capt. Dawson
sentiment has been greatly divided over the
justice of the verdict. Dr. Mellow seems to
have lost control of himself, or else he imag-
ines that he is privileged character to do as he
pleases. high brick wall divides the back
lawn of Capt. Dawson's residence from Nc
Dows ward. The piazza of the second story of
McDow's house overlooks Capt Dawson's ward
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Dawson was walking
on the grass of her lawn when she heard
whistling and clearing of the throat and other
noises to attract her attention. She looked nm
and saw DIR. Mellow standing on his piazza
doing everything he could to attract her no.
nee. She at once went into her house and
closed the door.
DIR. Mellow had been sitting on the piazza of
the first floor of his house with his wife and
father-in-law. He lett them and went up stairs
where they could not see him. He remained
on the end of his upper piazza after Mrs. Daw-
son had retired, still looking over into the
Dawson yard lie was soon rewarded by the
appearance Of Captain Dawson's daughter. a
pretty girl of fourteen. He again began his
whIstilng and coughing. She saw who it was
and ran into the house. He then took a small
stone and pitched it into the window of the
Swiss maids room. She looked out to see what
II was and saw Mellow motioning and whisting
at her. She drew her head in at once. very
much frightened His conduct was SO ont
rageous that Mrs. Dawson had a policeman
sent to her residence to prevent further IN
suits
1t will be remembered that there was small
bruise on DIR. McDow's head the day he killed
Capt. Dawson. That bruise has been ex-
planned. On the morning of the day of the
tragedy, while attending the sick child of a
lady he made improper proposals to her. She
seized her absent husbands pistol and was
about to make short work of him, when he
fed, and in his hurry to get out of the house
struck his head ON the door-facing.

The Smallest Screws Made,

Eyes, sir; those are the smallest screws il

pairing watch to a reporter for the New Yorl

He referred to the fourth jewel wheel screw
which is almost invisible and to the naked eye
looked like a speck of dust.
But. here, just take this glass and look al

The reporter did SO, and saw that the specl
that had been referred to by the watch maker
was a regular screw. The jeweler said thai
the screw was 260 threads to the inch, and with
a very fine glass the thread may be seen very
distinctly.
1T has been estimated that an ordinary thin.
BILE will hold 100, 900 of these screws
Nobody ever attempted to count them. The
method employed in determining the number
is to place 100 of them on a fine scale and cal
culated the number Of the whole lot by the
weight of those on the scale. The manufacture
Of these screws is a fine piece of work. Afte,
they are cut they are hardened and put in
frames and polished by an automatic machine
The whole process ls wonderful, and only serves
to show what can be done by man."

Destructive Storm I'm PENNSYLVANIA.

A destructive storm passed over the northern
end Of Greensburg, Pa, last evening about 4
O'Clock. Rain fell in torrents, and the creeks
for miles around the mining village of Crab
tree overlooked, and crops of wheat, hay and
oats were carried down the streams. The
waters Of Crabtree and Thorn creeks were the
most damaging. Trees were uprooted in their
course and buildings situated on their banks
have been swept away. Every bridge on both
creeks from Crabtree to Salisbury have been
carried away, and two or three hundred yards
OF the Crabtree branch railroad has been CON-
pletely washed cut. No lives have as vet been
reported lost. hail-storm followed and was
most disastrous to the corn crop, and il is
thought to be entirely destroyed AtSalem and
at the Five Points and all along the Loyal

GRATEFUL TO HER HUSBAND.
Two Letters Which Throw q New Light
on Senator Sabin's Actions.


From the New York World
There are two sides to every question, and IL
is just possible that ex-senator Sabin has been
misunderstood and misjudged. In q personal
letter to New York friend, Chicago banker,
who has known the ex-senator for years in
| a social, political and business way, says:

Photography in Science.
From scribners Magazine.


Photography owes more to chemistry and
chemists than to the opticians. Fairly good
pictures can be taken without lens, through
a mere pin-hole in the shutter of a dark room.
Such pictures, however, require an exposure
OF from half an hour to an hour, whereas will,
a lens the time Of exposure need not be longer
than second for the same object. Cheap
lenses not costing more than $3 or "a can be
made to give surprisingly good pictures when
managed properly. The optician, however,
has 1t in his power to greatly enhance the per-
lection of the photographers work, especially
In Portralture in instantaneous Photography,
and in astronomical work. One can think OF
glass as plastic material which the optical
sculptor moulds and forms so that the rays OF
hight in passing through the surfaces, shall
not form distorted images OF objects on the
sensitive plate. The want of perfection of the
optical surfaces is not SO apparent in landscape
photography as in the photography of the stars.
In astronomy the objects which are photo.
grsphed are comparatively simple, and any
distortion OF figure IL readily recognized. In
this science. therefore, the highest degree OF
skill is required of the optician.
