An Atlanta Ga dispatch says a
wonderful revolution in flour-barrel
making is promised bya patent which
has been granted for the making OF
barrels out of cotton duck instead of
wood. The new material is impervi-
Gus to water and resists fire for a
long time. 1t weighs TO the barrel
about fifteen pounds less than the
wood, and can be manufactured ten
per cent cheaper. The cotton duck
barrels can be rolled up into small
space and returned TO the mills for
frequent use. The barrels can thus
be returned as solid goods, and thus
save space. 1t is said the flour mer-
chants of Atlanta have given it a fair
trial and pronounce it success.

The Pistol Was Loaded.

Mr.. WIN. NJ. Staley and carpenter
named Myers, who is helping him

try their luck catching cells. While
they were waiting for the cells to run,
they amused themselves by examin-
ing self-cocking bulldog revolver.
All the cartridges were taken out,
they thought, so they weren't very
particular how they handled it. Mr..
Staley couldn't make the revolver
work right, somehow, so Mr.. Myers
took it. 1t worked. all right for him,
for it went off and sent a bullet
through the calf of Mr.. Staley's leg
Mr.. Staley was hauled home and the
doctors called in, who ascertained
that the wound was a slight one, and
not likely to give much trouble.

President Hood, of Western Mary

GERS has been surveying a route from
the terminus of his road at Williams
port to connection with the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad at or near

THE ELIXIR OF LIFE.
0E. Hammond Win Not Denounce tt
 Now Discovery.

OF. Hammond Win Not Denounce tho
 New Discovery.
 WILMINGTON. Aug. 19.- Dr. Ham. nond, in an interview on the use of the so-called Elixir of Life," says:
 Judging from the reports in the newspapers of the experiments with the Brown-Sequam fluid, they have been conducted in an extremely unset. ent1fic and illogical manner. The re- ports state that the fluid has been ster1lized by the doctors using 1t. They might as well boil it, SO far as the pro cess affects its properties. It is made absolutely dead and useless by being sterilized.
 Again, Dr. Brown-Sequard took ff- teen injections, extending over more than month, before he ventured a report of its effect upon him. There was no immediate effect from 1t. Hay ing no elixir to-day, used water. One man who was rheumatic said he felt like a new man. This shows the folly or Jumping at conclusions.
 The fluid two or three hours old, Dr. Hammond thinks, would not be danger ous, but would have lost its strength Ii putrid, it would be dangerous
