Washing the Stomach.

During the past year several ply
sicians have tried, with gratifying
success, novel treatment for dys-
pepsia and cancer Of the stomach
by washing out the stomach. The
process is very simple and not dan
gerous. A long, flexible pipe is
passed down the throat until one
end is in the stomach. The upper
end has a funnel attached, into
which hot water is poured until the
stomach is filled. The weight of the
water in the pipe and funnel gives
a hydraulic pressure sufficient to
slightly distend the stomach. The
pipe has an aperture big enough to
hold lead pencil. After the stom-
ach has been filled the funnel end
of the pipe is turned down until it
is lower than the bottom of the
stomach, and the stomach is emp
tied as barrel of any fluid is emp
tied through a siphon. The process
may be repeated several times. The
result is that the undigested food
and mucus are washed out, and the
hot water closes the blood vessels
and reduces inflammation. The re-
lief is immediate. The dyspeptlc
may have his stomach washed out
before a meal, so that he can take
a fresh start. After the lapse of a
sufficient time for ordinary diges-
ton the stomach may be washed
out again.
This process has been in use at
the New York Hospital for some
time. The stomach pump has been
mainly used in cases of poisoning,
and is considered to be the first
essential before administering anti.
dotes. But they are SO seldom used
that few physicians have them. Re-
Gently in case Of poisoning three
prominent physicians were applied
| to for tie use of a stomach pump
and neither of them had one, and
the patient had to be taken to the
hospital.-New York Sun.

How to Sweep a Wooden Floor.

ling-pot to sop the floor all over in

We have wet sawdust, and put a
a row of it across one end Of the
store and sweep that right along to

along. If it gets little dry | add
some more. Some folks scatter
sawdust all over the floor, but Mr..
vanders says that's no good; that
the reason for using sawdust is to
avoid wetting the floor all over and
to have something that will absorb
the dust.-Cin. Enquirer.

A Night in q Log.

In the History of Delaware
County," there is related an incident
in the life of Timothy Murphy, who
was famous in the border warfare
of New York during the revolu-
tionary war. A small body of rifle
men, Murphy among them, were
returning to camp after destroying
an Indian village near Unadilla,
when they were surprised by an
attack of Indians in ambush and
most of them destroyed. They beat
hasty retreat.
Murphy, who was in advance OF
the rest ran some distance ana
crawled into large hollow log that
lay near a small stream. he had
lust secreted himself when he heard
the voices Of Indians. To his dis
comfiture they came and encamped
by the log for the night. One OF
the Indians even looked into the
cavity, but seeing spiders web at
one side undisturbed did not think
it worth while to look further.
The savages built fire beside
the log, and Murphy trembled lest
they should split it up for fuel.
But after satisfying their hunger on
strips of yenison, they lay down to
sleep with their feet toward the fire.
Murphy lay still until they be-
gan to snore; then he crawled soft,
| " to slit in the log, and, looking
through, observed eight Indians
asleep, their rifles beside them,
while one sat on the watch, tcma-
hawk and scalping knife in his belt.
! All hope of immediate escape was
thus cut off, and Murphy was thus
cut off, and Murphy drew himself
back quietly to his former position,
thankful that the swapping of the
fire had prevented the waking IL
dian from hearing his movements.
His position was not an envlable
one; the heat had penetrated the
log, and he was in danger of being
roasted alive. Before morning the
log was burned through in several
places, and the wretched prisoner,
nearly stihed with smoke and steam,
looked forward with horror to the
time when the redskins should re-
plenish the fire for breakfast. lie
was in desperate straits.
Early in the morning one of tie
Indians went down to the stream
and bent over to drink. Murphy,
whose condition was becoming SO
uncomfortable that he had almost
resolved to make rush for liberty,
had crawled to the end Of the log
and brought his rife into position.
The redskin at the stream was IN
direct range and Murphy fired.
The Indian fell headlong into the
water, and his companions, think
ing force of the enemy was upon
them, fled precipitately.
Murphy saw them go and lost no
time in leaving the log. With the
bravado of those early pioneer hum
ters he went to the stream and re-
moved the dead Indians scalp.
Then he took to his heels and made
good his escape.-EX.

Puget Sound Lumber.

A lumber-pile made of boards
each 100 feet long and SIX feet IN
width would be an unprecedented
sight in the East, says the Phila-
delphia. Press; but gentleman re-
Gently returned from visit to the
Northern Pacific ocean says that
piles of timber such as that are COM
mon at the mills of Puget Sound.
Boards 100 feet long and six feet
wide, without knot in them," he
saws, "are common cuts from gl-
gantic fir trees Of the Puget Sound
forests" These trees grow to the
enormous height of $50 feet, and
the forests are so vast that although
the sawmills have been ripping
500, 100000 feet Of lumber out OF
them every year for ten years, the
spaces made by these tremendous
inroads seem no more than garden
patches. Puget Sound has 1900
miles of shore line, and all along
this line and extending thence on
both sides miles and miles farther
than the eye can see, is one vast
and almost unbroken forest Of these
enormous trees. An official esti'
mate places the mount of standing
timber in that area at 500 900, ,OOO,'
900 feet, or a thousand year S sup

timber is now being felled and

Tea Gathering in Ceylon.

Tea is getting to be great pro-
duct of Ceylon and the export is
already 100000 pounds. 1t is
claimed in behalf Of this tea that 1t
is cleaner than Chinese or japanese
tea, which is manipulated and adul-
terated until its quality is consld-
erably deteriorated. In Ceylon cool
les pick the tea leaves, which are
spread on trays to wither under COW
er for a day. The withered leaf is
then placed in a rolling machine,
driven by power, and rolled for an
hour, and during the process the
leaves become moist and twisted
mass, out Of which the expressed
iuice freely rolls. The leaves are
then placed in trays to ferment or
oxydize, during which process they
change from a green to a copper
color. The subsequent flavor and
strength of the tea depend, to a
great extent, on the fermentation,
which is a chemical process, the
success Of which is due to the
weather.
Firing is the next process. The
tea is thinly spread on trays and
placed either on charcoal stoves OF
in large iron drying machines, and
at the end of half an hour it Il
thoroughly crisp and dried and has
become tea. The tea is then slzeo
by being passed through sieves O.

Things Worth Knowing.

Six things which a boy ought to
know:
First-That a quiet voice, court
esy and kind acts are as essential
to the part in the world of a gentle
man as of a gentlewoman.
Second-That roughness, bius-
teriug and even foolhardiness are
not manliness. The most firm and
courageous men have usually been
the most gentle.
Third-That muscular strength
is not health.
Fourth-That a brain crammed
only with facts is not necessarily a
wise one.
Fifth-That the labor impossible
to the boy of fourteen will be easy
to the man of twenty.
Sixth-That the best capital for
a boy is not money, but a love of
work, simple tastes and heart
loyal to his friends and his God.
Five things which a girl ought TO
know:
First-That drawing tones, lam
gushing eyes, or an affected man
ner will never deceive any one into
| the belief that she has a gentle
nature.
Second-That while the best an
guents, depilatories and cosmetics
may fail in affecting her beauty,
every secret thought and hidden
emotion will leave an indelible mark
upon her face which he that runs
may read.
Third-That the true gentlewo-
man, like every other jewel of great
price, never thrusts herself into
view. Neither her clothes, her voice
| nor her manner challenge public
notice.
Fourth-That the girl with whom
young men romp and hirt is not
the one whom they choose when
they wish to marry.
Fifth-That as God has prepared
woman and sent her into the world
to be wife and mother, she should
look forward to those conditions OF
life, not with silly and vulgar jests'
but with reverent, earnest effortAo
tit herself for them.-Youth's Com
panion.

To Prevent the Breakage of Min
ing TimberS.

A German mining paper says
that to prevent the premature break
ing of the wall-props, the Consoll,
dated Mining Co, in the district OF
Aachen, has, after experimenting
for some time, found that when
three or four notches, 80 centlme-
ters deep, have been sawed IN the
TOP part of the wood, this yields to
the pressure by being compressed
but does not break. The economy
in the item of timber has not ye1
found an expression in figures.

WOODS REpRiEvr.
Warden Brush Has Postponed the ColOred
Murderer's Execution.

Murderer's Execution.
SING SING, N. Y, Dec. 1.-The execu-
tion of Wood, the colored murderer,
which was to have occurred during this
week, has been postponed. The next
execution under the electrocution system
will be that of Jugigo, the Japanese,
whose case was recently decided by the
Supreme Court of the United States and
who will be taken to New York for re-
sentence to-day.
Warden Brush determined the question
of Woods immediate fate by notifying
the jurors and witnesses who had been
summoned that they would not be
needed. As the law requires that the
witnesses shall have three days notice,
it would not be possible to execute Wood
before the middle of the week, even if
the warden believed that the appeal to
the Supreme Court of the United States
did not act as a stay of execution. Who
the witnesses were to have been the
warden would not say, and it is likely
their names will not be made public
when the execution occurs, as they have
asked the warden not to reveal them.
Warden Brush believes that the cita-
ton for him to appear before the Su-
preme Court of the United States in
January acts as stay of execution. 1t
was in this belief that he notified the
| witnesses, who were summoned yester-
day, that they would not be needed.
