Jed Tompkins' Hypothesis.

Near Fayetteville. Tenn, shortly af-
ter the cyclone which did 20 much
damage in that state and Kentucky,
old Jed Tompkins, colored, was hauled
up before Squire Mason for stealing one
Of Col. Ballentyne's sheep.
Before the trial the squire, the colo.
mel, Jed and several Others were loung
ing In front Of the squire's dingy little
Office, all hands, with the exception of
Jed, relating incidents of the terrible
storm, the squire winding up with a
tree on his farm from which the wind
had stripped the bark. and the colonel
seeing" this with a brick wall on his
place through which the tornado had
driven "A wheat straw.
On the trial the evidence was all
against Jed, the colonel identifying the
sheep, which had been found hanging
up on Jed's back porch.
"Ill have to hold you. old man, IN.
less you a explain how that sheep
came there" said the magistrate.
CANT 'sp!ain, square" Jed an

The squire pulled up his specs and
took a long look at Jed, and the colo
mel arose and stated that he would not
prosecute the ease further, as this was
the first cyclone that had ever blown

Hints from Brown-sequard.

DIR. Brown-Seqvard. in ono Of his
lectures. with reference to n check on
sneezing, coughing, etc, says: Cough
ing can be stopped by pressing on the
nerves on the lip in the neighborhood
Of the nose. Sneczing may be stopped
by the same mechanism. Pressing in
the neighborhood of ear, right in front
Of the ear, may stop coughing. Ii
is so also Of hi~ccoughing, but much
less so than for sneezing or coughing.
Pressing very hard on the top Of the
mouth inside is also a means Of stop.
ping coughing, and many say that the
will has immense power.
There are many other affections as,
ISOLATED with breathing which can be
stopped by the same mechanism that
stops the hearts action. In spasm OF
the CLOTHS, which is a terrible thing in
children, and also in whooping cough,
it is possible to afford relief by throw
ing cold water Of the feet, or by tick.
ling the soles Of the feet. which pro.
duces laughter, and ut the same time
goes to the matter that Is producing the
spasm, and arrests il almost ut once.
| would not say that we a always
prevent cough by our will; but in
many instances these things are posi-.
BILE, and if you remember that in bron.
chitis and pneumonia, or any acute
affection OF the lungs. hacking or
! coughing greatly increases the trouble
at times, you can easily see how i'm.
portant il is for the patient to try to
avoid coughing as best he can"

caused much excitement among the
pupils, who are usually ready to enjoy

According to the programme the
young lady's lesson that afternoon was
a complete failure, and she was told TO
make il up after school. When the
session ended the other pupils fingered
about with an air of expectancy to see
the outcome Of matters.
The teacher politely showed them
out Of the room, however, and then
went in and shut the door. There sat

The story Of the fat man who fell
overheard in New York harbor and
floated around for an hour or two until
he was mistaken for a whale and towed
to shore unhurt has set the old water
men and wharfmen all agog with re.
miniscent talk. They tell peculiar
tales Of happenings to fat men which
have occurred under their eye. and In
which they took a part.
John McClain. the veteran Waterman
on the Thomas Clyde pier, above
Chestnut, told a number Of incidents
concerning the floating tenden les Of
fat men.
During the war Sr. McClain was a
night %wa.chrnan on the piers at Wash
ington avenue. One dark night a gov.
eminent receiving vessel came up the
river. and when il neared the Washing,
ton pier two sailors jumped overheard
TO make their escape. One was a
gigantic fellow and the other a man Of
medium size.
Before jumping overheard the fat
man fastened 300 in double gold eagles
in a leather belt which was strapped
around his waist. H could not rwim
n stroke. When they touched the
water he houndered around, but did
not sink. Shortly afterward a tire.
mendous swell carried him under the
pier, where he was Knocked senseless
by the piling. WIG the body was
found, several hours afterward, il was
not at the bottom of the stream, but
plump against the planks Of the pier,
With the head above the water. The
man never sank, but was drowned
while insensible. superstitious sailors
concluded that it was the gold that
kept him on the top Of the river

N cannot pronounce distinctly or
hear distinctly more than five syllables

ond. Hence. If "A rejecting surface is
liz feet distant. the initial sound Of an

ear from "A distance Of ll2 feet Just as
the next syllable starts on its journey.
In this case the sirst fifth Of the sec.
ond is consumed in the utterance Of a

ond in hearing its echo. Two syllables
would be echoed from a rejecting sur
face 22i feet distap, three syllables
from 1886 feet, and 80 on within the
limits Of audibleness. 1t is evident
that a sharp, quick sound, the duration
