"A party of scientific gentlemen
recently performed series of electrical
experiments on the animals in a mena'
gerie at Bridgeport, Conn. The baboon,
the sea lion and seals, monkeys, the ele-
plants and other animals we're treated TO
doses of the electric current All the
animals, with the exception Of the ele-
plants, manifested an intense disgust at
the experiments, and fougbtand howled
with rage. The elephants, on the con-
trary, appeared to enjoy the electricity.
In the year 1889 we received from
Europe s32,OOO,OOO more gold than we
exported. In the year 1853 We exported
nearly $4,000 more than we received.
But we have got good deal Of the yellow
metal left.

III its decrease It Is frlendly to no 5hg
The good woman must not do any sewing
in the decrease Of the moon, FOR the
stitches will not hold; farming tools must
not be left in the field, because 1t is be-
5ieved, II they are, crops will not again
thrive there. Il an unbaptized child Is
exposed to the moonlight, it will lose its
luck for its whole life.
II one points at the moon with the
finger, he will suffer from swelling
around the nail; and whoever spits at
the moon win lose all his teeth. These
beliefs, too, are international. The Bame
is the case with the religious notions
about the new moon. Sorceries Of every
Kind to be successful, must be performed
on Sunday night Of the new moon. The
hair must be cut only in the increase Of
the moon, otherwise there Is danger Of
getting headache. # aperson returning
home In the evening sees the full moon,
he ought to take some money out Of bis
purse, and utter an incarnation that will
make it increase a hundred times during
the month.
The moon is also supposed to have an
influence over animals and plants.-Dr.

Carried the Proofs with Them.

Two ex Confederates who applied for
allowance under the MANNED soldier act
showed strong proof that they were
badly hurt; during the war. About Q
o'clock Mr. Lucius Maxwell walked In,
and taking from his pocket an old Con-
federate passport slowly unwound 1t and
laid before Col. Tip Harrison six pieces
OF his skull. Mr.. Maxwell was menu
Der Of the Forty-second Georgia regi-
ment, and received a terrible wound In
the head In one Of the battles around
Atlanta In July, 1894. About 4 o'clock
Mr.. Josephns Riden came in and took
from bis pocketbook piece Of his own
skun which he has preserved all these
years. MIR. Riden was member Of the
Thirty fourth Georgia regiment, and was
shot In the.top Of his head at the battle
Of Jonesboro. To this day these unfor-
tunate veterans still suffer from the
effects of their dangerous wounds, and
have never been able to do steady work
since they were received. It is hardly
necessary to add that the applications Of
both were promptly allowed.-Atlanta

watch it when you may, and the man who
pays his debts has the confidence of the

man who owes nearly everybody and pays
nobody is marked, "No Good" and soon
finds the road down hill creased for the

your word, abstain from whiskey, and

We have never yet heard Of q wine

that the champagnes and clarets, sau-
ternes and burgundies with which he sup
plies them at so many shillings dozen,
were imported into France for conver-
sion from Spain, Italy, Hungary, Greece,
or even far California. It Is still less
agreeable, from the purchasers point Of
view, to reflect that these so called wines
were manufactured of all sorts Of hete-
.rogeneous ingredients at Hamburg, the
headquarters Of continental Justification

With respect Ito these malpractices,
heavy charges, we regret to say, only
too soidly founded on fact, have Of late
been brought against the wine trade, by
persons manifestly well acquainted with

Lady Travellers.

A great deal Is said and written tend
ing to show that the gentler sex know as
little about travelling as the sterner sex
know Of fashion plates, but it is about
time to call o halt on that proposition.
Travelling by rail has become so common
that there are very few ladies, emigrants
excluded, and among that class the men
know as little as the women, who are
not perfec capable Of taking care Of
themselve IA journey Of few hun
dred miles. They are as speedily served
with tickets as the average man, and
more readily disposed Of than many Of
the latter, and ask fewer questions as to
when the train will depart, where 1t can
be found, how often they will be COM
PEELED to change cars, etc. The age is
progressive, and in railroad travelling
the ladies are keeping right up with the
procession.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A Notable Excursion.

New YORK, March 8.-A notable
party Of excursionists to the South will
leave here tomorrow night. They will
travel iinDstwo private cars, which gives

material interests in the South.
The Hon. Abram 8. Hewitt and bis
brother in law, ex- Mayor Edward Cooper,
will be among the distinguished members
ofthe excursion party. The whole crowd
are obstensibly going on pleasure trip,
but it is whispered on good authority
that Messrs. Hewitt and Cooper will not
be bent on pleasure solely. Mr. Hewitt
is reliably reported to have said that his
principal purpose in making the trip was,
to carefully examine some of the coal
fields and iron ore districts of Tennessee
and Georgia, and that, if his examination
confirms the accounts be has had OF the
vast coal and mineral resources of those
States, he will probably move his entire
iron manufactory plant, nov in Pennsyl-
yania, to the South, aud most likely locate
either in Tennessee or Georgia. This
possibility foreshadows thing OF great
eat Importance to the South, as Mr.
Hewitt employs in his Pennsylvania iron
industry over 1000 men, and a change Of
base would involve bis carrying all those
hands, with their families, to bis new field
of operation. 1t is impossible to say ex.
actly where he may locate, as he has no
preceived preference, but will be govern.
ed entirely by his inspection OF the
whole territory, and settle wherever be
finds the greatest advantages.

4 John Wesley on Demoniacal Possession.
In England the same warfare went on.
John 5Lockeh had asserted the truth, but
the Geological view continued to control
public opinion. Most prominent among
those who exercised great power against
the truth was John Wesley, and the
greatness and beauty Of his. character
made his influence in this respect all the
moIe-unfortunate. The same servitude
TO the mere fetter Of scripture which led
him to: declare that .'to give up witch
craft IS to give UP t6eSBible and to take
ground against the Fundamental truths
of theology, controlle led him in regard to
insanity. He insisted, on the authority
Of the Old Testament, that bodily diseases
are sometimes caused by devils, and upon
the authority Of the New Testament, that
the gods Of the heathen were demons; he
believed thai dreams, while in some cases
caused by bodily conditions and passions,
are shown BY scripture to be also caused
by occult powers Of evil; he cites o ply
,Hcian to prove that .most lunatics are
really .demoniacs.
In hisgreat sermon on EVIL Angels" ;"
he dwells upon this point especially; re-.
sists the idea that possession" may be
epilepsy, even though ordinary symp-
toms Of epilepsy be present; protests
against "giying up to infdels such proofs.
Of an invisible world as are to be found
in diabolc possession" and evidently be-:
ieyes that some who have been made
hysterical by his own preaching are
possessed Of Satan" On all this, and
much more to the same effect, be In
sisted with all the power given to him
BY his deep religious nature, his wonder
ful familiarity with the Scriptures, his
natural acumen, and his eloquence.
But here, too, science continued its
work The old belief was steadily un-
dermined; an atmosphere favorable to
the truth became more and more de-
;yeloped, and the act Of parliament in
'i735, which banished the crime of witch
craft from the statute book, was the be-
ginning Of the end.-Andrew D. White
