The influence of Tobacco.

The first impression made by the
smoke of tobacco is through the blood,
and inasmuch as the whole volume of
blood courses through the body in
from three to five seconds, the indica-
tions of its effect, from the many COM
pounds of which it is composed, are
felt universally in the young smoker.
After short time, as the blood be-
comes charged with the poisons, the
organic nervous chain and the organs
it supplies are powerfully impressed.
For the young and adolescent the
habit of smoking causes impairment of
growth, premature manhood, and
physical prostration.
do not believe it possible that any
man can constantly smoke foul pipe
without being constantly a martyr to
dyspepsia. Cigars, if they are ''good,"
produce dyspepsia very quickly, for in
smoking them nicotine is more rapidly
absorbed.
Smoking, as every one knows, de-
stroys appetite and enfeebles digestion.
Consumption does the same, and one
of the most common presages of con-
sumption is Indigestion. For these
reasons have made it rule for years
past to insist that every consumptive
patient should abandon the pipe and
cigar, and have found a rigid obedi-
ence to this rule worth many formal

Trying to Fool a Spider.

A gentleman was watching some
spiders, when it occurred to him to try
what effect tuning fork would have
upon them. He suspected that they
would take it for the buzzing of fly.
He selected large, ugly spider that
had been feasting on flies for two
months. The spider was at one edge
of it's web. Sounding the fork, the
man touched a thread at the other side
and watched the result. Mr.. Spider
had the news conveyed 70 him over
his telephone wires, but how was he
going to know on which particular
wire it was travelling? He ran to the
center of the web very quickly and felt
all round until he touched the thread
against the other end of which the fork
was sounding; then, taking another
thread along, just as a man would take
an extra piece of rope, he ran out to the
fork and sprang upon it. Then he re-
treated little way and looked at the
fork. He was puzzled. He had ex-
pected to find a buzzing fly. He got
on the fork again and danced with de-
light. Evidently the sound was music
to him.-Toronto Globe.

In the commissioners report of
the Minneapolis & Pacific Railway
(nOw part OF the 500 Line), the
sworn statement of the road puts
the expense OF construction of the PIG
miles at $3.50 per mile. This as
founding information so startled us
that we called attention to it at
once, and by letter was informed
that they were clerical errors-that
the amount should be $35, 800 or more.
And the total amount of cost of con-
struction and equipment PLUS the
81, 44S, 900 DISCOUNT, and the $500. 900
discount, divided by PIG miles, was
pointed to as yielding $500 per
mile.
But the figures do not show the re-
suit given, nor do the accounts bal
ance. And we have substantial rea-
sons for believing that the ACTUAL
COST OF THIS LINE WAS So, $50 to
the mile, and by it's own contracts,
purchases and payments!
We challenge the officials to show
up the papers!
And further we do not believe the
officers DARED to swear to the cost
OF the road at $4,000 to the mile.

Remedy For Sunstrokes.

Whatever is to be done in this dis
ease, must be done quickly. Clinical,
as we'll as experimental observations,
enforces this doctrine. There should
in such cases be no waiting for the
doctor. The remedy is so simple, the
death so imminent, that the good
Samaritan passing by should save his
brother. The good Samaritan
must, however, have a cool head to
be useful. Not every man who falls
unconscious on a hot day has sun
stroke. There is fortunately one
criterion so easy of application that
any one can use it. Go at once to the
fallen man, open his shirt bosom
and lay the hand upon his
chest; if the skin b. cool, you
may rest assures that what
ever is the trouble, it is not sun
stroke. If, on the contrary, the skin
be burning hot, the case is certainly
sunstroke, and no time should be lost.
The patient should be carried to the
nearest pump or hydrant, stripped to
his waist, and bucketful after bucket
full of cold water dashed over him un-
til consciousness begins to return, or
the intense heat of the surface de cid
eddy abates. st. Louis Magazine.

A Chicken Eating Cater.

It is the custom of alligators to move
across the country from one river to
another. The purpose of this migrar
ton is not learned. They go alone
and not in couples or droves as has
sometimes been reported. A short
time ago a monster alligator started
from the Hillsboro River to lake
back of Tampa, Fla. He passed
through the Central part of the town
and finally reached the back yard of
T. A. Wilson. The reptile found him
self in flock of chickens and began
at once to make meal of them. This
raised such a commotion in the poul-
try yard that Mr.. Wilson's attention
was attracted to it and he went out to
investigate. He discovered the sau-
rian, and with we'll directed shot hit
him in the eye and killed him. The
big saurian was then cut open and
skinned. In his back, which is more
like a piece of white leather than
anything else, except an alli-
gators back, were found large
number of bullets which had passed
through the scales and embedded
themselves in the backbone. where
they had become fattened out and evil
IDENTIFY caused the reptile no uneasi-
ness. When opened, the stomach of
the alligator was a curiosity. A num-
Der of pieces of tin showed that he had
enjoyed tin can lunch, while from
the fact that he had swallowed beer
bottle, it appeared that he was not a
prohibitionist. There were two small
fish, nearly whole, and a pair of baby's
shoes. II was not known whether he
had swallowed the child or whether
he had found the shoes where the
child had placed them and made
meal of them. but every mother who
saw the tiny shoes shuddered and
clasped her own child tightly to her.
It will probably be never known how
the shoes came there; but it may be
that some mothers heart is sad over
the loss of the little one who wore the
tiny shoes. The alligator was skinned
and the skin sent to the tannery. The
reptile measured nine feet and seven
inches in length.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

cherished maxim of the common law
that an accused is innocent until his
guilt is proved holds in our courts If it
does not always guide popular express

its case before a petit jury with all
the limitations upon testimony requir-

the state legally to prove its case with

How They Make Til; mbles.

The way thimbles are made in Eng
land and in this country is simple
enough. Dies of the different sizes are
used, into which the metal, whether
gold, silver, or steel, is pressed. The
hole punching, finishing, polishing and
tempering are done afterward. Cellu-
loid and rubber are nodded. The best
thimbles are made in France, where
the process is more thorough. Strange
as it may seem, the French consider
durability in their gold thimbles as the
first requisite. The first step in the
making of Paris gold thimole is the
cutting into disk of the desired size a
thin piece of sheet iron. This is
brought to red heat. placed over a
graduated hole in an iron bench and
hammered down into it with a punch.
This hole is the form of the thimble.
The iron takes its shape and is remov-
ed from the hole. The little indenta-
tions to keep the needle from slipping
are made in it and all other finishing
strokes OF the perfect thimble put On
it. The iron is then made into steel BY
a process peculiar to the French thin
BILE maker, and is tempered, polished
and brought to deep blue color. A
thin sheet of gold is then pressed into
the interior of the thimble and fastened
there by mandri! Gold leaf is at
tached to the outside by great pressure,
the edges of the leaf being flied in and
held by small grooves at the base of
the thimble. The article i. then ready
for use. The gold will last for years.
The steel never weares out and the
gold can be readily replaced at any
time. Nowhere else in the world are
gold thimbles made in that way

Emphasis in Life.

Some people find fault because few
have so much influence in politics,
in business, in society and even
in church. They seem to forget
that it is inevitable and. applies even
in childhood and youth. In every
school and on every playground a few
dictate the policy, and lead In fun and
hard work, in thought and action, be-
cause of the emphasis they place upon
what they say and do. It is still in
emphasis that usually determines sue
cess. If it is known how any one en-
phasizes life it is easy to estimate the
probabilities of success. Emphasis in
life is much like emphasis in reading.
The first principle in each case is to
emphasize ideas, not words. There is
radical difference between the two.
Superintendent George Rowland of
Chicago read "Evangeline" to one of
the grammar schools of that city on
Friday afternoon a year ago, and l
CHANGED to be present when the pupils
read their compositions on the read
ing. A bright little foreign boy
wrote: Il thought so CRATE man
would read very loud, but he didn't.
I thought he would emphasize it lots,
but he never emphasized word; but,
oh, my, didn't he picture the story,
though! shall see it as long as I
live" This is vivid illustration of
emphasis upon ideas rather than
words. This principle holds in life.
Success depends upon magnifying es-
sentials. Some people tire us in their
talk because they dwell upon minor de-
tails about which we care nothing,
while others fascinate us by giving the
pith of story so that we do not wish
word omitted. This is a land and
age of progress. A mans life must
show on the face of it that every word
and act tells, and that he has not done
the best that he will ever do.-St
Louis Republican.
