An Interesting Family.

In the western part of North Carolina
and about seven miles west of Hot
Springs there lives a family by the name
OF Brooks. The house consists of q lit
tie low log cabin in an unsettled district
and is occupied by father, mother and
twenty exceptionally handsome chill
dren.
Every n is a blonde, with golden yell
low hair and peachy complexion, and all
as ignorant, wild and untutored as they
are beautiful. In addition to the above
family proper the two older girls are
married. One is a widow with two
children and the other has three children
and a husband. Both those little fam
lilies are living wit, the old folks at
home, making in all a family of twenty
eight when none is missing. The house,
or log cabin, consists of but one room,
and that a very small one. On two sides
of this are built seven berths, one above
the other, against the wall, and they
were evidently built with the cabin.
The father of this family, who has to
"hustle" for the beans to fill the twenty
eight hungry mouths, makes as high as
SIS some months, but oftener his income
will not exceed SIS per month, which
sum he earns by walking seven miles
daily to Hot Springs. The mother, who
has a baby in arms, seems contented and
happy. Every IL is struck with the re-
markable beauty of the children, from
the youngest to the Oldest. The parents
have found names for all but one.-St,
Louis Globe Democrat.

A Monkeys Weakness for Sweets.

One of the attractions ut a church fair
recently held in this city was q lottery
conducted on a small scale. Ten per-
sons contributed ten cents each. Each
subscriber drew a slip of paper from a
hat. The slips were numbered from one
to ten. The papers were then placed in
another hat, and a monkey was allowed
to pick one out. Tho person who at the
first drawing had obtained the slip select.
ed by the monkey was entitled to ninety
cents, ten cents going to the fair fund.
After each drawing by tho monkey the
slips were destroyed. One night a young
man won owe $50 at this little game of
chance. Nearly every time the monkey
drew the slip this young man was select
ed at the first drawing. Those present
marveled at the young mans luck, and
but for an accident they never would
have ascribed his winnings to any u
but good fortune. Every slip of paper
the young man drew he rubbed with a
piece of lump sugar. OF course the
monkeys weakness for sweets led him to
pick out the sugared slip. The young
man dropped the piece of sugar while he
was rubbing it on a slip, and then his
smart little game was discovered.-New
York Press.

France Va. Germany.

On the day that war is declared be-
tween France and Germany what will
happen? At first there will be, of course,
the general mobilization according to
the new method which the German staff
has recently adopted. On the German
side that mobilization will be effect
ed in q very short time. In less
than seven days a little over 1,4O0,-
600 will be concentrated Oh the from
tier at the points fixed by the gen.
eral staff. The cars are ready, the coal
for the railroad was laid in long ago.
Four or five days after the first advance,
100000 will form the second line. Final
ly there will be the landsturm, with
about 1000 on the first call. All
these troops are thoroughly drilled and
armed with the repeating rifle. The ar
tillery and cavalry have all that is neces-
sary for undertaking a campaign. One
al imagine, therefore, what the next
wal will be. 1t will be frightful and
merciless. 1t is quite possible that the
victors will be as much exhausted and
decimated as the conquered. Certainly
the Franco German war of 1870 will
look like child's play compared with the
coming struggle, which everybody is
talking about, but which nobody but a
mailman would desire.-Detroit News.

US that the quake is caused by an eff
fort of internal l.eat to make its escape
through a weak part of the surrounding
earth crust. How thick the earth's crust
is would be a hard matter to find out for
a certainty. The German government
is now at work upon a shaft (f it has not
been recently abandoned), near Schlade-
bach, with the object especially of OBJ
tanning trustworthy data concerning the
rate of increase in the earth's tempera-
u r rs it nears the interior. The last
statement the writer read concerning
this shaft said that it was at that time
1892 meters in depth. The temperature
was about 4S dogs. centigrade, equal
to about 120 Fahrenheit. If it increases
uniformly as the depth increases, as it
has heretofore, the boiling point of water
will be reached at about 5000 meters
providing the shaft could be sunk to
that deputy. which is equal to about two
miles.
At this rate of increase the point at
which platinum melts would be found to
be at a depth of forty-ive miles.
According to these figures the earth's
crust cannot be more than o~nc-ninetieth
of its radius.
Professor Newcomb. connected with
the naval observatory at Washington,
said at the time of the August Garth
quake in 1884: 1.-The only common sense
explanation of an earthquake, to my
mind, is that down in the bowels of the
earth, say from 20 to 100 miles beneath
the surface, there is fluid matter, boiling
at a white heat, which as it gradually
becomes cooled, contracts, leaving a
space between it and the solid parts, and
the heavy weight of the earth above the
vacant place causes the earth to sink,
then you have your carthquakc."-St.
Louis Republic.

An Aggravation.

Charles r. Thorne, the elder, was al
ways a great traveller, and in their carly
days his three boys travelled with him.
The family went all over the world.
Once they were coming to America from
China on a Pacific Mail steamer, and the
ice on board ship practically gave out.
What could be saved was carefully put
aside for the sick people aboard and the
we'll passengers were compelled to drink
the brackish, warm water on hand. Any
one of them would have given $40 for a
swig Of cold water. One night when the
cabin was full Charlie Thorne left his
stateroom with a covered tin pail. Pref
ty soon he walked back through the
cabin. He had filled his pail with the
warm water, put a tumbler inside and
covered it up. The rafting of the tum-
bier suggested ice, and the parched
tongues of the passengers hung out fur
Their than ever at the sound. "Where
did you get the ice?:" asked aparticularly
miserable party. "It's for a sick friend
of mine" he said, and he disappeared in
his stateroom. During the evening he
made four Of these trips through the
crowded cabin, and when he finally quit
the deception he had made at least TWEEN
ty men willing to commit murder for a
glass of ice water.-Chicago Herald.

A Locl,inyar In Alabama.

The romantic Lochinvar incident was
almost repeated in an elopement the
other day at Birmingham, Ala. The
guests had assembled to witness the mar
riage of Miss Flora Mays, a blooming
young lady Of 10, to a widower of As
named Merriweather. The match had
been arranged by the young lady's par
ents, much against her will, for she loved
another. The Alabama Lochinvar was
George Church. Just when the cere-
mony was about to begin he was seen
coming toward the hsaso, and Miss Mays,
in her bridal dress, ras. down the walk to
meet him. At the gate stood the widow
er's horses and carriage. In another in
slant the young lovers were in the vehi-
Gle dashing away at full speed. An alarm
wasraised atthe house, and Merriweather
and a number of guests took horses and
started in pursuit. But the widower is
noted for his h%orsefesh, and his team
was too fleet for the followers. The
young couple reached a parsonage and
were made one before their pursuers
came.-Montreal Star.

The Shah AS Sovereign.

AS a ruler the shah possesses many ex-
cellent qualities. Firm, fairly Just and
diligent, he is in his own person the sole
arbiter of Persia's fortunes. All policy
emanates from him. He supervises every
department with a curiosity that requires
to be allayed by periodical gratuities, and
his attention to affairs of state is constant
and unremitting. There is a consensus
of opinion in Persia that he is the ablest
man i'll the country and the best ruler
that it could produce. Nor will any one
deny him the possession of patriotism
and of a genuine interest in the welfare
of the nation. He is, however, placed
in a most unfortunate situation by the
rivalry of Great Britain and Russia,
while he is further impeded by til. in
triguers that swarm about the court and
person of the monarch, by a tendency
natural to humanity and particularly to
a man who has passed the middle of life,
to let things abide in his time, and by a
n of powerlessness against the petri-
fled ideas and prejudices of an oriental
people.-Chicago Herald.

Removal of NIoles.

In a recent number of The Practitioner
DR.. Jamison writes on the use of sodium
ethylate in removing hairy moles on the
face. He operated in this way: The
hairs were cut off as closely as possible
with a very fine pair of scissors, and the
mole was then painted over with sodium
ethylate, a fine glass rod being used.
When the mole had a vanished look the
ethylate was gently rubbed in with the
glass rod, to make it penetrate more
deeply into the hair follicles.. The mole
had quite a black look when the opera
ton was over. A hard crust formed
over it, which was nearly three weeks in
becoming detached. When it came off
the hairs were seen to be destroyed, and
the surface of the mole had a smooth.
somewhat electrical appearance, of a
much lighter color than before; and tais
favorable condition continued until the
mark was scarcely noticeable.-Herald
of Health.

An Important Social Innovation.

A movement is on foot in Austria and
Hungary just % to do away with the
form of %salutation customary among
men-that of taking off the hat. At
Graz a committee has been formed
which passed a resolution and called
upon the civil and military governors,
Baron Keubeck and Count Wurmbrand,
as also on the mayor of the city, begging
them to sanction the resolution by ac-
cepting the military salute from their
interiors. The three gentlemen gladly
gave their consent. The wish has also
been expressed that the dangerous GUS
tom of uncovering the head for a length
of time at funerals should be done away
with. 1t is pointed out that the military
salute must necessarily imply at least as
much respect as lifting the hat, since a
common soldier thus salutes the highest
commander in the army. In the Middle
Ages the hat or cap was not dofed.-

Hypnotism.

Hypnotism literally means a condition
resembling sleep, artificially produced;
that is, not by drugs, but by the mag
netic0 effect of one mind upon another.
That condition Of mind, however, to
which you doubtless refer as "hypnot-
ism" is a different condition entirely. 1t
is not connected with sleep at all, but
could be defined to be that condition of
mind in n person Called the subjecD
set fup by the attractive or impuisive
power Of n or more minds, and in
which the subject, by the power of "sug-
gestlon," is made to obey the behests or
commands of his operator OF operators.
This power a be exerted at a distance,
and the operator need not be known to
the subject. The operator is not legally
responsible for the acts of his subject,
not being personally concerned.-An-
swers in Herald of Health.

Fatal

In the sanguinary wars of the Turks
in Hungary, Count Ludovic Lodrom, on
the ' of a battle, harangued his SOL
diers in the true martial strain. .sThat
is all very WE'LL" said a German veteran,
stepping outin front of the ranks. "That
is all very well for you who are mounted
on a swift horse, and are already think.
ing OF saving yourself. But for u.s.
Whereupon Ludovic Immediately dis.
mounted, drew his sword and ham.
stringed the animal. Then he exclaimed:
To-day, then, comrades, you shall see
me as captain and soldier fighting on
foot byyour side and on the same terms,r
He was so severely wounded in the fight
that the Turks, who took him prisoner,
put him to death and sent his head to
Constantinople, believing his recovery
impossible and that they could neve
carry him there alive.-Al the Year

lie Prices for Ice.


The greatest excitement over the ice
prospect seems to be on the Penobscot.
A New York man in Bangor has bought
nearly $4,000 tons, paying So per ton for
summer delivery, the highest price paid
for years at SO early a date. Every ice
house will be filled and large crews are
to rush business. Three Bangor men are
preparing to cut and stack six or seven
thousand tons on tho steamboat wharf,
and Mr.. A. II. Babcock will fill his coal
sheds. One dealer has just refused an
offer Of 50 a ton for 5000 tons, and sew
eral dealers are almost millionaires in
anticipation-according to reports. Keep
cool, gentlemen, keep cool!-Lewiston
