cay that is inserarable from pain. He
aolds that outside of the domain of math,
ematics there is nothing impossible IN
nature, and that we should therefore re
serve our opinions as to unfamiliar sub
jects. He contends with warmth that
there is nothing unworthy in medical sci
ence searching for remedies that viii
check the deteriorating influences CT old
age and the rendering Of existence more
tolerable. Those who have never made
original observations sor themselves are
disposed to sneer at the allegations of the
possibilities in the new discovery, but they
are of the class that ridiculed Harvey
when he discovered the circulation of the
blood, and for which he was expelled from
the medical societies to which he belonged,
He points out that it is the duty of the
physician to experiment and make re-
searches for the better treatment of dis
eases, and for the reduction Of human
suffering to the lowest possible minimum.
This is what Pasteur has done, and what
Brown-Sequard is dong. Yet that scien-
tist declares that nothing positive has
been determined by his experimenting ex-
cept the relief afforded in cases of rheuma-
| tism. DR.. Hammond concludes that the
whole matter being as vet in the expert
entail stage, it is irrational to condemn it
as folly, and at the same time it is rash to
indorse it as positive discovery of an
arrester of old age. He does not believe
that any elixir will he discovered thatwill
make old men young, but does hold that it
is possible that some agency viii be
evolved by research that will greatly re-
duce the infrmities of the aged, and that
will render their existence more pleasant
and that will somewhat prolong it.

SCIENCE AS A DETECTIVE.
An Effective Ally of Society IN the StruG
gle gainSf Crime.

An Effective Ally of Society IN the Strug-
gle Against Crime.
Recent events make this fit time
for calling attention to the degree iu
which modern science has become an
ally of society in the struggle of the
latter to defend itself against crime.
On Bunker Hill Day in Charleston a Sc
lect company of Brooklyn pickpockets
were gathered into the focus of de-
tective camera Chemical science has
become so exact that when hui
man being has met his death by
poison, the deadly drug can be traced
even in a single drop of blood. The
microscope has increased manifoldly
the difficulty of committing a forgery
that shall escape discovery. The
electric light flashes its intense bright
ness into unfrequented streets, into
narrow alleys, and into regions of
great cities where dangerous classes
swarm, so that deeds of darkness can
no longer be committed with the i'm
punity of former times. While the
absconding criminal is travelling by
steam, the message asking for his ap-
prehension is flying literally with
lightning speed.
Great as are the services now con-
stantly rendered by science in the pre-
vention, detection and punishment Of
crime, those which seem likely to be
rendered in the future will, if realized,
be greater still. 1t may not be long
ere the phonograph is brought into
court as an unimpeachable witness, to
repeat the exact tones of conspirators
guilty of planning bribery or burglary.
The French savant did not utter any
absurdity who predicted that eventual
ly instruments would be devised of such
exquisite perfection that they could
transfer from the retina of murdered
persons eye picture of the awful OBJ
ject on which the victims last agon-
lied gaze was fixed. 1t does not need
a flight of fancy to foretelI great results
in aid of the police that are possible
from further developments of such
marvellous powers as were possessed
by the late "mind-reader. Mr.. W. l.
Bishop.
The theme is an absorbing one, and
might be much further expanded.
Perhaps it has not heretofore been
sufficiently dwelt upon. There is
danger lest we look too exclusively on
the utilitarian side of science. 1t will
be well if we bear in mind that in
many ways, including such as have
been limited at above, the astonishing
progress made in this century toward
unlocking the secrets of matter and
mind is tending not only to make men
better acquainted with natural laws
but also to make them more Obedient

TOMS UNLucKY FANCY.

Our Tom was as gay and merry a wight
AS you ever would wish to see:
He raced and frolicked from morn till night,
AS happy as boy could be;
And Tom had fancy vivid and gay
That iudulged in many an art,
And he thought the very best kind of play
Was to play he was acting part''
Sometimes as gallant knight and bold
He fought with the cornstallxs tall;
Sometimes pirate he sailed for gold;
Asa robber he scaled the wall.
And oft as young fay blith and gay
He royed through dell and glade;
He was Robin Hood, or pilgrim good;
Or the beau on the rand parade.
Well, one fine day, as the wheat field lay
All yellow and ripe in the sun,
Tom racked his brain for a brand-new play
And novel kind Of fun;
He thought Of JOseph's brethren of old,
And the famine that urged their feet.
And he seized a stick and with footsteps bold
He marched through the waving wheat.
AS his course he took he thought not to 10 *
For an eye that might seem unSind,
So he did not heed, as he went with speed
That his father was close behind,
But with sturdy blows that fell and rose,
He leveled the yellow grain,
And--''Here goes young man reaping il
Egypt!
He shouted in glad refrain.
At last mid the ranks of fallen wheat
He came TO a sudden stand,
As his father approached with footsteps fleet,
And birch rod i'll his hand;
And these were the words that made Ton
quiver,
And woke throb in his breast;
"Here comes the old man thrashing in Egypt
I'll leave you to guess the rest.

THE PITT DIAMOND.
1t Was Originally Bought for an Amount

1t Was Originally Bought for an Amount
Equivalent to $4,000.
Pitt heard of a prodigious stone
weighing APO carats, and the price
asked for it was equally prodigious,
being no less than 1000 pagodas Ga
pagoda equals about 1857. The offer
evidently had its attraction for Pitt,
and he transmitted a model of the
stone, with description of it, to his
English agent Sir Stephen Evance.
But the magnitude of the proposed pur-
chase alarmed Evance. "Wee are
now," he writes in reply, ''gott in a
war;. The French King has his hand
and heart full. soc he can't buy such a
stone. There is noe Prince in Europe
can buy lit, soc wuld advise you not to
meddle with it." But P lit still kept
up negotiations with the owner, Jaur-
chund. who came in person to Fort St.
George to tempt the Governor. The
price asked, however, was so excessive
that Pitt despaired of becoming pos
sessed of the prize, and more in wan
tonness than with any intention of
making a serious bid, he offered 80, 900
pagodas for it. This broke off the ne
gotiations for the time; but with that
persistence with which Easterns al
ways show in money transactions,
Jaurchund, after an interval of some
weeks, returned to the charge. This
time he professed himself willing to
take 1000 pagodas, and at a subse-
quent meeting, after much haggling.
Pitt beat him down to $4,000. But
even this was more by 10000 pagodas
than Pitt had determined to give, and
again Jaurchund took his leave-not
for long, however, for in an hour he
sent in word to say that he would take
$4,000. Upon this Pitt offered to split
the difference. But though an Orient
al will submit to be beaten down in
his price time after time, he likes, at
the close of the bargain, to think that
the yielding has not been altogether
on his side. Pitt offered 47,500 No,
said Jaurchund-nothing would induce
him to take less than 48, 900. Knowing
his man and the ways of Eastern trad
trs, Pitt gave in to this demand, and
became possessed of the largest known
diamond in the world for a sum which
was about equivalent to f24, ,000. ~

The Antiquity of Crackers

Very few consumers of wheaton pro-
ducts are aware of the fact that crack
ers are the oldest form of bread. Frag-
ments of unfermented cakes were dis
covered in the Swiss lake dwellings,,
which belong to the Neolithic age-an
age dating back far beyond the received
age of the world. Although this rude
form of bread was early discarded for
the fermented variety, yet in this, as
in many other matters, it was found
convenient to return to discarded and
apparently valueless process. Thin un-
fermented cakes were found to possess
merits for special purposes. They
would keep good for q great length OF
time and they were convenient to carry,
and thus afforded wholesome and nutri-
tious food in portable and convenient
form. The simplicity of their making
and baking was also a point in their
favor. Pittsburgh Dispatch.

ROSE FROM THE RANKS.

Railroad Magnates Who Started as Brake
men, Operators or Rod-Men.
Among the officers of nearly every
railroad in the country are to be found
men who have risen from the very low
est round. A. M. Tucker, who is
division superintendent on the Erie
under Murphy, started in as track
laborer, and his first promotion was to
the position of rOd-man in the engineer
corps. John n. Abbott, of the Western
States Passenger Association, used to
be a freight clerk on the Erie. G. w.
Bradley, general superintendent of the
West Shore, used to be brakeman
and conductor on the same road. Gen.
eral Superintendent Bancroft of the
Denver & Rio Grande learned the Morse
alphabet in one of the small stations
on the Erie, and counted himself lucky
when he obtained a position as tele-
graph operator on the West Shore.
President Caldwell of the Nickel-Plate
was once a clerk on the Penn sylvania.
F. X. Hahn, general manager of the
New York elevated roads, began his
career in his seventeenth year as a
machinist's apprentice on the Philadel-
phia & Reading road at Pottsville.
The officers of the great Pennsyl.
vania system, from the president
down, have all come up from the bot
tom. President Roberts entered the
service of the road in 1852 as rod man
in the engineer corps. Later he had
charge of the construction of small
branch lines, and finally was made as
sistant to the president in 1862. He
has been president of the road for
eight years. A. j. Cassatt, formerly
vice-president of the company, also be-
gan as rodman. Second Vice-Presi-
dent Thomson used to be machinist
in the shops at Altoona. He invented
the block-signal interlocking switch.
General Manager Pugh commenced as
brakeman, and General Passenger
Agent Carpenter was once messenger
boy in the Philadelphia Office of the
company General Agent Geer used
to be receiving clerk in the freight de-
partment
James McCrea, general manager of
the Pennsylvania lines west of Pitts
burgb, like President Roberts. began
as rod-man at $40 month. He now
draws salary of $4,000 a year, and
is still under forty. Robert Pitcairn,
superintendent of the Pittsburgh di-
vision of the Pennsylvania and gen.
eral agent for the company, was once
a Messenger boy in the old Atlantic &
Ohio telegraph Office in Pittsburgh.
Among the other messengers en-
ployed at that time was Arson Stager,
afterward general superintendent OF
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany; w. o. Hugart, now president
of the Grand Rapids & Indiana Rail-
road Company; Andrew Carnegie, who
few years later laid the foundations
of his wonderfully successful career as
private secretary to Colonel Tom Scott,
and David McCargo, now general
superintendent of the Allegheny Val.
ley railroad. --Philadelphis News
