ELECTRICITY CRANKS.
People Who Garry Worthless CarbOns to
Improve Their Health.

'.DO YOU see that man there who has
just picked up something from the
edge of the sidewalk?n asked a gentle
man well posted on electrical matters.
He has the latest fool craze on the
brain, for he has been following that
electric-light tender about for the last
ten minutes, in order to gather a few
of the stubs of the electric arc carbOns
which are thrown away. These he
will carry in his pockets. under the in
sane impression that some of the elec-
tricity left over from last nights light
ing may soak into his system and ease
up a trifie on some pain or other.
''Poor fellow! He is more deluded
than the man who wears potato in the
left-hand pocket of his trousers to cure
him of rheumatism. Why, there is no
more electricity in those carbons than
in the bread that fellow may have eaten
for breakfast.
sit is astonishing" continued the
speaker, ''what queer notions some
people in Washington have abont wear
ing electrical and magnetic appliances.
The theory is quite universal that mag
netism attracts the iron in the blood
and thus gives rise to a better circula-
ton. But all the iron which exists in
the human system is combined with
hydrochloric acid and is in the form of
the oxide of that metal, and in this
state the magnet has no power over
the oxide of iron. A person may
stand between the poles of the most
powerful magnet ever manufactured.
and which would be strong enough to

would never feel the slightest effect of
magnetic exertion, either for good or
i'll. If a mans blood should not cir
culate until it is started up by magnet
ic effect upon the iron contained
therein, it would not circulate more
than once in an average mans lifetime.
The passage of a current of cleo
tricity through the body is another
matter. This may benefit the system
by agitating and perhaps decomposing
certain portions of the tissue. A little
electricity, however, goes great ways
in this regard. Physicians in giving
this sort of treatment use only from
one to five-thousandths of an ampere.
From one to three ampereS passed
through the vital parts of the human
system would be positively dangerous,
for the tissues can not stand SO violent
an agitation. In order to force this
volume of electricity through ones
system a pressure of several hundred
volts is necessary, owing to the resist
ance of the body.
And now, my friend" said the cleo
trician by way of parting injunction. IF
YOU should ever have an uncomfortable
desire to try the curative effects of this
mysterious element called electricity,
don't try to get it by wearing old
electric-light carbons in your pockets.

VISITING MANNE5
The Proper wayQo Behave as Guest or
Hostess.

Many of US who pride ourselves on
our good breeding are singuiarly blind
as to what is due 10 friends who are
visiting people unknown to us, or who
are entertaining guests whom we have
never met. Nor are we more assured
as to some of the points of etiquette to-
ward our own guests. and to our own
hosts when we make an occasional fit
ting from home.
1t is useless to decry etiquette by
saying that the best manners in all
eases are those which hurt no cne.
This is true as a general law, but there
always are some points which leave no
room for experiments as to what will
hurt another. and which vet may be
settled once for all by few rules.
If you have an acquaintance who is
entertaining friends whom she wishes
you to meet, it is Your duty to call
promptly, and if possible offer some
hospitality to both guests and hosts.
If the position is reversed, and your
friend is visiting people unknown to
you. never go to see your friend with
out leaving card for the hostess. If
you give any entertainment for the
friend, be very sure to invite her hosts
also. 1t does not follow that your in
vitation will be accepted. but if it is
the hostess must be treated as the guest
of honor and shown every Difference.
If, for instance. the entertainment is a
luncheon for young ladies. she may be
asked to take the seat at the end of the
table opposite to your own.
If the mutual friend is your guest
you may be sure that if she is Il wo-
man of good breeding. she in turn will
accept no invitation which does not in
clnde you. although you may think
best to decline it and insist upon her
going alone Nor will she receive Wis
itors without asking you to join them
iu the parlor-should her friends be
rude enough to have sent you no cards.
Here, too, you may excuse yourself, or
at most join them with such delay as
to give them a short interview alone.
These same rules should hold good for
YOU when you are the guest. Before
YOU 90 to make the visit. send word TO
your friends where aud with whom you
are to stay, so that there may be no
idea shat you are in boarding-house,
and therefore mistress of your time and
surroundings. This constant Difference
to your hostess should lead you to or
der all letters and packages to be adj
dressed to her care.
As to the disposal of your time when
you are visiting no etiquette requires
you to accept all the plans of your
hostess if you feel unable to do so; but
care is needed to show that refusal
means lack of strength, not lack of in
terest and inclination. With little
tact on both sides you will have many
hours for your own. Indeed, a skillfdl
hostess will manage to secure you this
privilege. and not make the mistake of
working too hard to amuse you and so
absorb every moment of your visit
into her idea of what is pleasure for
you.
No greater compliment is possible
than the quiet acceptance of your
preference in the intimacy of family
life Youths C0nlDa,aiOn

Destruction of Forests.

The wholesale extravaganza of the
people of the United States with the
timber which abounds in this country,
and the merciless way in which the
forests are being destroyed, has at
tracted the attention of the Geograph-
ical Society of Germany, writes a
Washington correspondent of the n.
Y. EceniRg Post At recent meeting
Chief Forest Master Kessler called at
tention to the subject, quoting from
the tenth census. He stated that in
1880 the %, 70S Saw-millS in operation
in the United States converted S120,-
600, 600 worth of raw timber stock into
various kinds of lumber, and he as
serted that at the same rate there
would be no good-sized timber left IN
forty years. He spoke of the enormous
waste of wood through forest fires,
which are the result. for the most part,
of carelessness or desire to clear land
for cultivation, and declared that the
planting of new forests, which has of
late years received some attention in
the eastern states. cannot begin to OIL
set the waste He said that there is
every reason to fear that America will
soon be country impoverished for
tree property. Mr. Kessler made the
striking comparison that while the
United States had but IL per cent OF
its area covered by forests, the empire
of Germany has 26 per cent of its en-
tire area so covered. Mr.. Kessler said
that the reckless destruction of forest
trees in America and the Indifference
manifested by Americans in the re-
storation of forests is menace, not
alone to the wealth of the nation, but
threatens serious deterioration both to
CLIMATIC conditions and the fertility of
the soil. In & recent report to the
State Department Consul Merritt, OF
Chemnitz, calls attention to Mr.. kess-
ler's remarks as worthy of the atten-
ton of the department.

Made Money from Thieves.

Up in the mountains near Ashevil,e
there used to be an old darky who had
a great reputation, both as a thief
catcher and as a secreter of thieves as
WELL SAYS the n. I. Sun If a thief
went to him for charm before the
crime was committed or after doing
it, providing the loser had not pre-
viously arrived for one, the old darky
would insure safety. On the other
hand, if the old fellow had not been
bought off by the thief, the loser could
get a charm that would capture the
thief and recover the property. The
charm for capturing the thief consisted
of three white hairs from a horses
TAIL cut to an equal length and placed
simultaneously on hot shovel. When
they curled under the heat they would
point in the direction of the home of
the thief.
The thief who wanted to escape used
black hairs, and, when they curled, he
fled in the direction indicated, unless
they shriveled, in which case he re-
mained quietly about his usual haunts.
The whites say that the old darkv
would seldom manipulate the white
hairs until at least one day after being
informed of the theft, and that there
were other indications that he used
other than occult powers in finding the
thief. The western part of the state
was favorite haunt for horse thieves,
who found it easy to run good horses
through the mountain passes into Ten
nessee, and it was chiefly in the catch
ing and protection of these that old
Abraham Durbil was employed.
Eventually he seems to have used his
powers so much in favor of the thieves
that some horse owners got exasper-
ated beyond endurance, for he was
found one morning hanging by the
neck to the limb of tree, with the
body of Pert Stacy, well-known thief.
hanging beside him.
