Henry Southgate was one of the men en-
gagged in robbing the Indiana National bank
some years ago in what was known as tho
'orange box robbery" the box being used to
stand upon while she thief reached over the
glass framework upon the counter and lifted
out several thousand dollars in bank rn{es--
it was, think, $50, 900 or $4,000.
Southgate's friends pressed an application
for pardon on the ground that he was dying
of consumption. Governor Hendricks be-
Eeved his story and pardoned him. "In
very short time after his release Southgate
was as lively and healthy an evildoer as there
was in the state" said prison official HE
had simply been playing the soap trick"
''Whats thats'
'Eating SOAP. The effect was to bleach his
skin by producing dearth of blood, or rather
by changing the corpuscles-increasing the
white and diminishing the read. There are
no serious consequences following the use of
soap, and when discontinued the man rapidly
gets well.
Governor Hendricks, naturally enough,
was much chagrined over this deception and
made an entry in this Office to the effect that
it was never safe to pardon man merely be-
cause he looked sick Men in prison will do
other things to excite sympathy and make it
appear that they are dying of consumption.
''Now and then fellow will strike himself
in the throat, OF even cut himself within the
throat or under the tongue. Then he will
spit blood in the presence of the physician,
walk feebly, talk in whisper. Sometimes
they eat dirt, which stops digestion, and this
is followed by falling off in flesh.
"a short time ago a request was made for
the pardon of notorious criminal in the
Southern prison on the ground that he was
dying. He was upon that showing placed in
the hospital, from which he escaped, but was
captured four days later. indianapolis

Tall buildings are not of modern origin.
In Edinburgh, where houses standing on a

altogether in height. All, however, were

Curiosities in Bookbinding,

CurlOS1CleS IN 1SOOkDlnuinS.
There is Latin manuscript Bible in the
library of the vatican at Rome bound in the
mantle once worn by King Abgarus, the
friend of Jesus A Greek copy of Arelius
Golden ASS" now in the British museum at
London, is bound in the skin of an ass tanned
with the hair on. A book giving the life his
tory of Jeffrey Hudson, the celebrated dwarf
to be seen in the same museum, is bound in
piece of silk waistcoat which was formerly
worn by King Charles l. OF late the fashion
of binding works on anatomy, physiology
and kindred subjects in human skin is becom-
ing popular in many European countries
Some take this for an innovation, but history
mentions several books bound in human skin
as early as the middle Of the Sixteenth CEN
fury. At Bury st. Edmunds public library
may be found history of the life and trial
of murderer, bound in his own skin!
The French revolutionists, who seemed to
delight in the fact that they were marking
an epoch in the history of mankind, revived
the human skin book binding fad of the Six
teenth century, and took great pleasure in
presenting some brother revolutionist with
copies of Volney and Voltaire done up in the
cuticule Of some enemy. The writer owns
some evidences of bookbinder's pleasantries
in copies of Bacons works bound in pig skin
(bacon rind), and Fox's historical works done
up in the skin of sly reynard.-St Louis Re-
public.
Uses of Paper.
Paper is now made to serve for steel and
iron. When strong fiber is used it can be
made into a substance so hard that it can
scarcely be scratched. Railroad car wheels
are made of it more durable than iron. A
store in Atlanta, Ca, has been built entirely
of paper. The rafters, weather boards, roof
and flooring are all made Of thick compressed
paper boards, impervious to water. On ac-
count of the surface of the paper being smooth
and hard it cannot catch on fire easily asa
wooden building. 1t is found warm in cold
and cool in hot weather. The Breslau fire
proof chimney has demonstrated that cooking
and heating stoves, bath tubs and pots, when
annealed by process that renders it fire
proof, become more lasting than iron and will
not burn out.-St Louis Stationer.

An Error in the Bible.

The son of the Rev. Dr. H. Adler has dis
tingushed himself by detecting printers
error in a recent issue Of the Bible from the
Cambridge Press. In the thirteenth verse of
Isaiah, Xviii, the letter ''r" instead of the
letter ''f' has been used to commence the
word foundation" Dr. Adler drew the at
tention of DR.. Wright, librarian of the British
and Foreign Bible society, to the error, and
the latter obtained from the Cambridge Press
for Master Adler the guinea which the Press
offers to any one who discovers a mistake

make some reply when gun or pistol shot
rang in our ears, followed by a yell either of
pain or surprise, and lurch of the hack
threw me forward against my companions
knees.
Either tha shot or the yell had started n,,r
team, and we went down the bank and into
the stream with lunge. I heard shots-one,
two, three-as we splashed through the water
Then more yells, loud and fierce.
My notion of what had happened OF what
was happening was confused for moment
and then I saw my comrade-for the light
still burned-crawling through to the drivers
seat as we went careening up the opposite
bank.
A second later he had gathered the lines,
which were tied in front, and while he held
them with one hand he grasped a rib of the
hack with the other Then he leaned out and
glanced back.
Luckily the horses, which were going at a
gallop-they were animals which needed no
urging-kept to the road. and the cool headed
young fellow was not pitched out.
''Theres lot of 'em," he shouted in at me
a moment later. 81 can just see four or five
getting on their horses They've killed the
driver, guess, and are after us now"
With that he gathered up the long dashed
whip, which lay in the boot, and, dropping
upon his knees, began yelling and laying the
whip upon the team.
In moment we were going at fearful
pace, and despite the excitement and fright
of the moment noticed that our four horses
came to hand and ran with a steady, even
gait, which did credit to the young mans
driving.
''Get ready for 'em now" he screamed
back at me, they'll be down on us in min
ute. Open the back flap m pour it into 'em
with your guns, and when they're empty get
mine under the seat!'
He was my captain as well as driver, and ]
obeyed lnstinctively, for I certninly had
formed no plan of defense or action on my
own account.
I managed to unbutton and roll up the
leather behind, and peering out, on my
knees before the back seat, saw that we

Indian RsfOrnIers.

The education of Indians has been
more or less of hobby with certain
good people for many years, and u
worthier hobby would be hard to dis
cover, but somehow the noble savage
has not given very startling results.
There are frequent cases Of promising
young men, of pure Indian blood, who
astonish their friends by evidence of
ability and easily acquire fine educa-
tion, but with rare exceptions the edu-
Dated Indian fails to fulfill the promise
and hope that he would be kind Of
Moses for his race, or even an influential
man with his tribe.
Sequoyah, the famous inventor of the
Cherokee alphabet, stands almost alone
~ great Indian civilizer of Indians.
Just now great deal is said of Charles
Alexander Eastnan,a young Sioux who
has graduated from the medical school
Of the university Of Boston, having first
passed through Dartmouth college with
distinguished honors. He has also read
law and declares that his aim in life will
be three fold to improve the sanitary
condition Of the Sioux, to act as inter-
prefer In their dealings with the whites
and to teach them their legal rights so
that they may not be swindled. His
Indian name is Ohiyesa, or "the win.
ner," and he may succeed in win.
ming his people to less savage life, as he
remains a thorough Indian in appear
ance and spirit, and is not likely to ex-
cite cmnity by naughty airs, as do most
Of the educated red men.
1t will not do to count on any wonder
ful reform Of Indian character, even by
this promising young enthusiast, for u
few grunts from stoiid old warrior, or
mysterious incantations by some cum
ming medicine man, will have more
weight than his strongest logic or best
law. Like many of the students re-
turned from the Carlisle school, he may
be powerless against the sentiment that
makes educated Indians unpopular u
sentiment based on the knowledge that
Eastern training tends TO make them
despise their. old savage companions.
His best card will be his knowledge of
medicine and surgery, for the art of
healing commands respect and threat
ems discontinue to the medicine men
who are the worst foes of all reform.
This suggests that some instruction In
simple remedies, and training in course
Of action in emergencies, would be of
incalculable value to part of the course

A New Interpretation Needed.


A Pennsylvania state judge has now
directed the acquittal of man who sold
at Leechburg, as agent of the Cincinnati
brewing company, beer that Inc received
from them In the original kegs, which
had been sent In n carload to Pittsburg,
and had thence been distributed to the
points Of consumption. The seller In
this case had no state license and sold
the beer In prohibition town.
Manifestly, IL this construction holds,
there will be no need of taking out liquor
licenses hereafter in Pennsylvania or
any other state. The Pennsylvania
breweries aud distilleries, while unable
TO sell their product In their own state,
can freely export it for sale In other
states and the brewers and distillers Of
other states can find market In Penn
sylvania that they cannot get at home,
where their own customers have to pay
. license, also, no doubt, ss Pennsylva-
MIA retailers do for selling Pennsylvania
beer and whisky.
This condition of tho law il favorable
to the increase of railroad interstate
traffic but II Is doubtful whether any
one can see anything but absurdity in a
law that shuts out home products and
lets in foreign ones to take their place.
A more conspicuous reduction OF the
law to absurdity was never exemplified.
And the supreme court of the
United States needs to promptly
reform, restrict and bound It's
decision, which is construed ia
permit the free sale of foreign
products In state, that the state
forbids to be manufactured or demands
a license fee for permitting to be sold
Otherwise the supreme court of tho
United States is in danger of being
deemed imbecile.
