A telegraph operator in Minneapolis
has invented a word-counting machine,
which may be used by itself or attached
TO a typewriter. 1t IS much the same
sort Of thing as pedometer, only it is
more accurate. 1t is as large as small

case, on one side of which is the face.
The machine will count up to 200
words, and IAN be used for any number
by keeping tally of the number of times
it passes The 2a0 mark. There are two
hands Like the hour and second hand of
a watch. livery time word ON the

five spaces, one for each leo words, and
glance at it shows at once how many
words have been written.

An Eighteen Bullet Blow.

At Atlanta, Ga, recently, an old
veteran of the Mexican and Confeder-
ate wars was insulted. With these
men insult is always followed with a
blow Buena Vista and Manassas do
not permit them to swollow much
insult. This particular veteran had
hired man to repair the sidewalk
in front of his home. In some alter
cation the man applied to the veter-
an an epithet which no man hears
without feeling the temperature OF
his blood rise, and the veteran struck
him. Although he is more than
eighty years ofag he has the vigor
of forty, and when the man who was
struck picked himself up he felt as if
he had been struck by lightning.
A policeman was at hand and ar
rested the insulter and marched him
off. The arm which did the striking
has eighteen leaden bullets in it,

How To Measure Socks.

A Ayoung man stepped up to the
counter ofone ofour rfurnishingstores
the other evening and called for q
pair of socks. "Be sure that you
get them large enough" said he, ''for
when they are too small they always
wear through at the toes" eyes, sir, -
replied the polite clerk" I'll get them
right; will you please hold out your
hand" 81 said socks, not gloves %
answered the young man, somewhat
surprised. II know what you said, %
continued the clerk, "but fwant to
see your hand" The customer held
out his hand and doubled up his fist
as directed. The clerk took one OF
the socks from the box, wrapped the
foot around the fist and guaranteed a
perfect fit. 81 am just as sure it will
fit you as though had measured
your foot" said the clerk, "as the
distance around the fist is always
the length of the foot. A salesman
who knows his business always looks
at mans hands and in that way
knows the size of thesock he wants.

Rollo and His Father.

From the Brooklyn Eagle
GLOW do the Indians sharpen their
scalping knives?" asked Rollo.
'With the Indian file, {" said his
Uncle George before Rollo's father
could reply.
Had Rollo's father been given an
opportunity of replying he would
have said that the scalping knives
were held by the Indiansi in severality,
consequently each knife was honed
by the indian who carried it. Rollo's
fathers jokes were inclined to be
ponderous, but they were very COM
plete in all their appointments, when
Uncle George gave him a chance to
say them clear through, with no in
terruptions other than the regular
stops. Howbeit, when you heard
one of them to the bitter end YOU al
ways felt as though you had fallen
down stairs with a rocking-chair and

Disrrhea,

The cause of scours in colts, says
the Breeders Gazette, is the indigest-
.ible food upon which the animals
subsist. Such food as straw and corn
stalks is little more than ordinary
woody fiber, which irritates the d.
gestives system, causing catarrhalcon-
dition of the same. Give to each colt
from three to six ounces of linseed
oil with half drachm of laudanum
mixed with it, varying the dose ac-
cording to the size and strength of
the animal. After it has operated
be particular as to food given. Oat
meal drinks and linseed tea should
begiven in preference to cold water.
For solid food give small mashes of
bran and oats to which a little lin
seed meal has been added. Give in
small quantities and often. Limit
the amount Of hay given for a time.
Keep indoors in Q warm shed where
the colts can run loose.

THREE GREAT MUSICIANS.

the central cemetery of the city. The
same will Le done with Schubert's re-.
mains. and his native country will
strive BY manifestations of its rev.
erence to wipe out the memory of his
neglected life and unhonored death.
With Mozart it is too late even for
this tardy reparation, for his monu-
ment covers no tomb. and his body
can never be rescued from the pau
per grave in which. to the disgrace
of civilization, it was laid. The lives
OF musicians are. for the most part
sad reading; and the last days of Mo-
zart may divide the palm for pathos.
All three composers were harrassed on
their death-beds with money difficult

manuscripts. was valued at g. IL and
Beethoven was constrained to beg a
complimentary concert from the
English Philharmonic Society. The
hundred pounds. which was the prompt
response to his appeal. helped 10
quicken his end BY the grateful emo-
tion it caused. Beethoven's stormy
life had a striking close. as reused by
q sudden clap of thunder. with his last
strength he opened his eyes and shook
his clenched hand at the elements.

ence for Beethoven, visited his death.

The Western Cut Nail Association
Holds an Adjourned Meeting
and Reaflrms the Lighter
Gauge-A Combination,

At the adjourned meeting Of the West.
erp Gut Nail Association held in this
city yesterday, the reduced gauge for cut
nails, which was adopted at the last
regular meeting, and Is now governing
the output ola number Of the mills,
was reafirmed, This lighter gauge will
now be adopted in all the cut nail mills
in the West, and it is reasonable to ex'
pect that by selling as many cut nails as
wire nails to the pound, the cut nail will
regain It's old prestige and lead,
The preliminary steps looking to a
combination Of all the cut nail mills, by
which their product will be handled by
a single central organization, were also
taken. A committee was appointed to
draw up a plan for a pool or trust
though the manufacturers do not call II
a trust-and 1t was decided to meet again
on Wednesday, August at which time
this committee will report to the Asso'
citation.
The pool idea has been tried repeated
~, but failed to enlist enough Of the
manufacturers to make 1t q go, A lead
ing manufacturer said yesterday that
the rock on which all former comblna'
tons had split was looseness OF organi'
zation-that to succeed in It's objects, the
combination, let it be called what II
might, must have all the features Of

A Notorious Monolnanlac Wants TO XIII
Her Little Child.
Mrs. Jennie Evans, the we'll known
monomaniac Of Martins Ferry, called
"crazy Jennie" was arrested yesterday
and placed In the lookup by Officer
Samuel Westwood, assisted by David
Fisher.
For several years Jennie has feared
that some person would steal her only
child, Lizzie, a bright girl Of ten sum-
mers, and during all this time the little
girl has been a prisoner, the mother
holding her by the wrist day and night,
and seldom loosening her grip more
than a eecond or two at q time. In fact
it ia stated that during this period Jennie
has not let go Of the girls wrist for over
a half hour all told.
The strange. case has been written up
in the INTELLIdRNCIR and its readers
are familiar with it.
Jennie resides with her brother.in-
law, Thomas Dollison, In Clark's addi-
ton, near the Elson Glass Works. Yes,
terday morning she wanted TO kill her
child with a wooden bucket, and was
prevented from doing SO with the great
est difficulty by Mrs. Dollison and the
neighbors. Officer Westwood was no.
titled, and Jennie refused to 20 and
showed fight. Knowing something
about her Sullivan strength, he called
Fisher and they hauled her to the lock-
up in a vehicle which was obtained near
by. The arrest attracted q large crowd.
Jennie will doubtless be sent 70 an asy-
lum, where she should have been years
ago,

MANSFIELD, o., July 24,-Two OF

the home team, Up to the fifth inning
the Mansfield team played a weak game
at all points, but alter that there was a
bracipg up aud they won the third sue
cessiye victory from Wheeling in fine
style. Dunn, who started TO pitch for
the visitors, was knocked out In the
sixth inning, and Shamus, who relieved
him, fell q victim to the home battersin
the eighth. After the home team got a
move on itself 1t played a very strong
game. There was also some heavy hit
ting done by the visitors, especially by
Bowman. His home run hit, and one
by Morrison, were among the features oil
the game, for they both scored two men,
Barrett's work as umpire was again
rather rocky, aud the base ball reporters
are bowling for his release; they claim
that he doesn't know the rules and
question his ability to understand them,
They say he Is severe on both clubs, but
that Mansfield gets the worst Of his de-
%Cisions, This kind OF talk, however, Ii
heard here all through the season. The
truth OF the matter about Barrett is, thai
in yesterdays game and that OF to-day
the home team won by such narrow
margins that the Mansfield partisani
were ready to howl, II defeated, that, as
usual, they had been robbed by the UNI
pire, So accustomed to this way OF ex'
Cusing losses are the people here that
they frequently howl before they are
hurt,
