4 Trlghtfnl Accident.

CUMBERLAND, Mn, December 3d.
Robert Golden, aged about twenty
five years, an employee of the Cum
berland Steel Works, at 6 O'Clock
this evening met with an accident
which viii probably cost him his life.
MIR. Golden attempted to board 8
moving yard engine. The engine
was backing to couple some cars, and
the young man, attempting to get on
the rear of the tender, slipped, and
the tender passed over him before it
could be stopped, dragging and roll
ing him over the cross-ties for some
distance. His Injuries cannot be as
certained, but it is understood his
back and limbs are broken, and there
is but little hops for his recovery.
He is single man and the main sup
port of his mother, who lives in this
city.

How He Measures.

Americans are mistaken in supposing Lon
don tailors to be the best. A correspondent
says: ut was my misfortune to order some
clothing from a Regent street tailor, and
after selecting the goods was asked to step
into back room to be measured. began
at once to divest myself of my coat. The
cutter looked at me in amazement, and told
me that was quite unnecessary, end proceed
ed In his way and by the aid of tape meas
ure to guage my chest. He did not even ask
me to button my coat, but, as though he
were in a hurry TO finish a disagreeable job,
he took my measure from shoulder to
shoulder in jiffy, then from my collar but
ton to my waist, then from my shoulder to
mytwrist, and twirling me around glanced at
the length of my coat, uttered some mysteri-
GUS words to dull witted boy, who was jot-
ting down the figures in ledger, smiled a
self satisfied smile, and told me he was sure
would like the fit. When he came to measure
me for vest, he slipped the tape measure in
under my coat, measured my chest and waist
and said he knew exactly the vest l wanted.
He took one glance at my trousers, measured
my right leg from my waist to my foot and
then around the knee, and said the clothes
would be ready the following night. l init
mated that was used to little more careful
measurement, and that hardly expected the
clothes would suit me- The tailor replied, in
an unconcerned sort of way, that he was
sorry for me, that was simply an American
and, like all other Americans, had never
been used to wearing clothes that fitted me-
He did not consider that an American tailor
knew his business. In the matter of cutting
clothing, he said, the London tailors were I'M
surpassed. They never made coat fit too
tight for man and the trousers were never
too small. Pittsburg Bulletin.

THE FRUITS OF INVENTION.

The inventor of the roller skate made over
$1,000 0000
The rubber tip at the end of lead pencils
has yielded 100000 in England
The gimlet pointed screw has produced
more wealth than most silver mines.
Upward of $4,000 year was made by the
inventor of the common needle threader.
The American who first thought of putting
copper tips to children's shoes made fortune
of $2,000,000
The inventor of the metal plates used to
protect soles and heels from wear realized
profits of over $5,000,000.
An income of no less than $4,000 per an
mum was realized by the inventor of the
Dancing Jim Grow" toy.
The invention of ''Pharaoh's serpents," a
toy which was the outcome of some chemical
experiments, brought the inventor more than

That favorite American toy, 'return
balln-a wooden ball with an elastic attached

A clergyman realized $1,000 week by the
invention of strange little plaything to be
seen for long time in every toy shop win
dow and even in the streets of London.
A large fortune has been reaped by miner

TO resist the strain caused by the carriage Of
pieces of ore or heavy tools
The sale of the little wooden figure, "John
Gilpin," was incredibly large for many years,
and very ingenious toy known as the
"wheel of life'' Is said TO have produced up
ward of $500, 900 profits to its inventor.
AS large sum as was ever obtained for
any invention was enjoyed by the inventor
of the inverted glass bell to hang over gas to
protect ceilings from being blackened, and a
scarcely less lucrative patent was that for

CONCERNING THE EARS.

The thin angular ear Is said to denote bad
temper and cruelty.
Small and thin ears usually denote deli
cacy and refinement.
As age increases, the ear becomes more
angular and marked.
People with musical tastes generally have
large and prominent ears.
Abnormally large, thick ears are associ-
ated with a sensual and coarse nature.
Great philosophers and statesmen have
been noticed to have large and sioping ears.
The ear of the great Napoleon was rather
small, well formed, and with a curved lobe.
The Marquis Of Salisbury's ear is massive
and well proportional, and has a slopiag po-
dtion.
Mr.. Gladstone's ear has q curved hanging
lobe, lies close TO the head, and has a sloping
position.-Pall Mall Gazette.

In every Mahometan country it is more
fun to be a boy than to be girl. When
boy is born everybody rejoices; when girl
is born everybody is disappointed, even dis
gusted. The father pets and fondles his son;
he will not speak Of his daughter. If he is
compelled to mention his having daughter,
he begs your pardon for introducing the sub
ject.
As the boy grows up he is sent to school.
he learns to read and write and studies the
Koran-the Arabs Bible-and is taught the
duties of his religion. Not many years ago a
Mahometan said to DIR. Jessup, Of Beirut,
when the missionary suggested that his daugh-
ter should be sent to school, Educate grill
You might as well educate a catW
The difference between the treatment of
boy and girl is continued until the boy is pre-
pared to take his place as a man among men
and the girl becomes the slave of some man.

Late experiments would seem to refute the
theory that France is warmed by the gulf
stream, as in summer no surface currents
reach that country from the southwest, but
there are currents from west and northwest.
A German insulating material for electric

Thomas A. Edison's latest achievement has

With alternating currents iron conductors

A very simple method of inducing sleep in
cases of persistent insomnia, and one that has
succeeded where many drugs have failed, is
simply to administer a moderate amount of
warm liquid food before the patient goes TO
bed. This diverts the blood from the brain
to the abdominal organs, and takes away the
cerebral excitement that precludes sleep.

AN ARABIAN NIGHT.

Nidnight-the song Is done; lay down thy lutte,
Dark face, yet raptured from the music's close,
The lamps swings languidly -thesoft light gIews
Around thee, and thy passionate lips are mute.
Too near to mine Warn fragrances of fruit,
Odors Of musk and jessamine and rose
Float family past US; some late reveler goes
Homeward with far on sound Of fife and flute
The curtains drop their deep embroidery
Behind thee, and the jeweled goblets CLEAN;
Thy hungry. yearning eyes are fixed on mine
As In the mazes of wild love dream
Slowly. by some magic law divine,
We tremble toward each other silently.
