PROF. TARcRANoFF, Of ST. Peters
burg, has lately published the results
Of his researches into the electric cur
rents of the skin. His method of ex-
pertinent was to connect the skin of
various parts of the body by means of
non-poIarisabIe-clay electrodes with
Meissner's galvanometer. He then
noted the effect of various stimuli to
the skin, such as light tickling with a
brush, heat, cold, a needle prick, sound,
light, taste and smell. In all these
cases a strong DETECTION of the galva-
nometer needle was observed. Merely
opening the eyes after they had been
closed for some time produced a con-
siderable DETECTION, and mental efforts,
like calculation, also had a similar
effect.

WE labor and labor, but there is Just
as much necessity for recreation as for
labor. We cannot live without it-not
even the Iaboring man. Exercise is all
well enough, but it must be Of the right
kind. The mind as well as the body
wants exercise; but it wants Something
else, as well as the body. It wants
change; it wants to get into a new
channel, to get new life infused into it.
Thus it viii rest the limbs to labor; it
win xest and strengthen the mind to be

JUST after the war ended the Navy
Department gave Ericsson a fifteen
inch shell found among the ruins of
Sumter. 1t had been fired from one
of the monitors, and somehow the fuse
had failed to go off. Ericsson sent it
to the King Of Sweden, and the good
Oscar placed it in the great museum at
Stockholm, with a simple and touching
inscription in honor of one of the most
hOnored Of Swedes. It's there now.
IF an honest man in dire distress
goes to a stranger, makes frank repre-
sensations of his identity and con-
dition, and asks to borrow a dollar, the
chances are 10 to 1 that he will be re-
garded as an impostOr and very point
eddy snubbed On the other hand,
swindler who goes into the business
with all elaboration and GOODNESS may
fatten upon the thousands of credulous
people and escape detection for years.
EDWARD RosEwArER, of the Omaha
Bee, recalls the fact that he once drank
beer with President Lincoln. It was
during the battle of fredericksburg.
Rosewater was on duty at the War De-
partment, receiving dispatches from
the battlefield, and Lincoln was there
in his slippers, very pale and anxious
about the result. Stanton, Seward and
Captain Fox were also present At
noon Mr.. Stanton sent out and got a
pitcher of beer and some crackers; from
this the party Iunched, Mr.. Lincoln
drinking beer and munching crackers
with the rest. 1t will be seen, there
fore, that persons who work the growI-
or have a distinguished precedent
for it.

EXPLOSION OF WHISKEY BAR.

stroys Much Property.
lBy United Press.l

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Aug. 14.-Just at
eleven o'clock this morning fire was dis
covered issuing from the bonded ware
house of the Bear Grass Distillery Co.,
on Storey Avenue, near Frankfort, in the
extreme eastern part of the city. The
distillery proper caught fire in moment
and before the fire department could get
to work the whole establishment was
roaring furnace Of flames. The fire
spread to the great western pork house
on the east, and from that to the old
Kentucky Woolen Mills, one of the larg-
est jeans manufacturing concerns in the
South.
Twelve residences on the opposite side
Of the street have been destroyed.
Many employees of the distillery had
narrow escapes from the explosion of
whiskey barrels, which exploded like
cannon. The flames were SO hot that it
was difficult to get within one hundred
yards of the fire. Only one person was
injured, John Smith, a fireman, having
his arm broken.
The loss to the great Western house is
$4,000. The government tax which
would have collected on the burned
whisky would have amounted to over
S8O0,O00. 1t is believed that the loss
will aggregate over million dollars.
