Hemorrhage :
Five Years. {
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-25
An Ingenious Prisoner.

1t is seldom that convict turns the
hours of his enforced confinement to such
good purpose rs an inmate of Maryland
prison. His term of imprisonment is
thirteen years, on conviction of horse
stealing, of which he insists he was in
nocent. BY working overtime he has
earned such sums of money as to enable
him to purchase books, of which his cell
contains over 200. A short time ago,
when electric light wires were being
placed in the prison, he became inter-
ested in electricity and bought some
standard works on the subject. The re-
suit was the construction of half dozen
different electrical appliances, including
burglar alarm, which he has just com
pleted for the bedroom of the warden of
the prison.
Another result of his industry is lock
which is so arranged that hammering on
it drives the bolts deeper into their fas-
tening. He exhibited model of this
+ lock to the warden, who was so pleased
with it that it was at once adopted for
use in the prison. Castings for the locks
were made in the prison foundry, a lathe
was set up in the prisoners cell and he
was relieved of all other tasks SO that his
entire time could be devoted to the man
ufacture of his locks, with which in a
short time all the dormitories of the
prison will be provided. Exchange.

Childish Faith.

An example of childish faith, of kind
a dull age wears away, was seen the
other day. A little boy was sitting in
the yard of an old country homestead;
on either side of him sat huge dog, pa
tient and loving. The sun shone down
scorchingly on the trio, and its rays were
uncomfortable. Shading his eyes with
his curved hand the child looked sky
ward and said, "Put in that sun, please"
The sun shone brightly, and the little
fellow repeated softly, "Please put in
that sun, man up in the sky; it hurts my
head"
Just then over the face of the blazing
orb there sailed a white summer cloud,
then another, and the yellow blaze
turned suddenly to hazy, restful gray.
Turning to the dogs, the little boy, put
ting an arm around the neck of each,
said: "Did you see the sun pulled in,
Romeo and Chieftain? When you wants
anything, if youis good, and you asks God
for it, he gives it to you. The sun hurt
my head, and asked him to put it in,
and don't you see how he did reach out
and put it in for mey' The dogs looked
wise, leaned their heads lovingly toward
the diminutive little theologian, and
whatever might have been their belief,
kept an inscrutable silence Providence

Against the Insurance Companv.

A merchant whdswas a member of a
mutual accident insurance association
was killed, while hunting for recreation,
from an accidental shot. The associa-
ton provided for the payment of sums
ranging from $1,000 to $500, according
to the occupation of the member. Mer-
chants certificates call for $1,000; but
the company paid the benefciaries of
the man in question only $500, on the
strength of provision that any member
receiving an injury while engaged tenn
porarily in another occupation more
hazardous than the one given in his GER
tifcate, he shall be entitled only to sucn
sum as provided for in the occupation in
in which he is engaged at the time of
injury.
The Illinois supreme court held that
the benefciaries were entitled to the
whole $1,000, as the word Occupation"
in the bylaw has reference to trade, vo-
cation or profession, and does not pre-
clude d member from the performance
of acts which are simply incidents con-
nected with the daily life of men in ali
pursuits. Louis Globe Democrat.

Inventors Are Born,

Generally speaking, inventors, like
poets, are born, not made. Nearly every
boy can become q good mechanic or
tradesman by diligent study and perse-
verance, but not every one can become
a good inventor. If he has "knack"
for invention, study and hard work will
greatly help him, and he stands fair
chance some day Of succeeding as we'll
in his chosen line as his brother play
mates do in business or professional life.
Invention is no longer spasmodic work,
but a legitimate branch of industry,
which has its rewards and remunera-
tions for those who follow it faithfully.

HOW AN AUNT WAS FOUND.

Lost Child whose hhoWleuSo OF
Botany Came Into Good Play.
Colonel w. D. Moore tells story which
would, could it be given in print as Mr..
Moore tells it, produce a great effect.
Ex-Sheriff Cluley was accosted a day or
two since at the corner of Sixth street
and Liberty avenue by little tot, girl,
too young to talk plainly, who pulled at
his coat and asked -'Do 90 know Aunt
Tatie?'
Somewhat surprised, Mr.. -Cluley re-
piled that he could not say unless he
knew "Aunt Tatie's" last name. The
child opined that the wanted party
didn't have any last name; she was "dist
Aunt Tatie." The little one then ex-
planned that she was lost, and she was in
great distress, her lips quivering so that
at times she could scarcely speak.
Mr.. Cluley thought with all his might
for few moments, when an idea struck
him and he asked the child for descrip-
ton of his aunt. The little maiden re-
piled that "Aunt Tatie" was rather tall
and wore nasturtium flowers in her bon
net
Now, Mr.. Cluley would hardly stand
O creditable examination in botany. He
knows cabbages from potato vines, and
knows the nasturtium when he sees it
on the table in the shape of pickle, but
to save his soul he could not tell what
it's flower was like Again he rubbed
his dome of thought until he rubbed
into it fresh suggestion and acted upon
it at once Accosting a lady who was
passing, he asked her if she knew a mas
turtium flower when she saw it. She
was at first disposed to resent the ques-
ton as an iinpertinence, when Mr.. Gu
ley hastened to explain, and begged her
to take an observation and ascertain
whether there were any ladies in the
neighborhood with that familiar flower
in their bonnets.
The lady glanced into several milli-
merry and dry goods stores, and finally
called out that she had discovered a
lady with bonnet bearing the flower
wanted. She pointed her out, and i'm
mediately the little one cried out joy
fully, "That's Aunt Tatie."
"Aunt Tatie" was disposed to be cross
with her charge for wandering away
from the spot she had designated to wait
until her aunt did some shopping, but
Mr. Cluleys feelings were aroused, and
he wouldn't hear the little one scolded.
Instead be proceeded to reprimand the
woman for her thoughtlessness in leav-
ing her charge exposed to the danger of
being kidnapped.
"Aunt Tatie" had become so interested
in her shopping that she had forgotten
to note the fight of time. Had the little
one not been bright enough to recollect
the name of the flower in the bonnet she
would probably have been crying her
eyes out, a guest at the central station,
and her aunt would have been frantic

ABSOLUTELY PURE

Radical English Fashions Don't Go.
The recent refusal to sanction with
the customary prompt enthusiasm sew
eral of the most radical changes in the
regime that have been made of late years
by London swells has had decidedly
discomfting effect upon our English
cousins. Their confidence of leadership
has received naturally severe shock in
consequence. From all accounts the
London swell mob is passing through a
period of xperimentaism. AS result
mems fashions abroad have not been so
unsettled in fifty years.
The heavy swells continue groping
aimlessly after the elusive innovation.
For their independence at this time,
therefore, Americans have cause for self
ongratulation-the more particularly
SO on account of the very divergent
character of some of the foreign ultra
speculations Advanced copies of the
recent London fads in coats and top
coats, had they been tried suddenly on
the New York public, would have Great
ed almost a riot in the streets The Eng
lish swell, be it known, can dress him
self up as his fancy dictates and the
yeomanry makes no outcry.
Now that we have thrown off the
shackles of slavish emulation and blithe-
ly accept or reject what we want, or
what does not appeal to the sense of the
fitness of things, the English fashion
framer will come down from his oracu-
lar eminence and in the future pose with
ameliorated despotism in the light of
guide, philosopher and friend. l am
aware that the sentiments above set
forth would have been regarded a few
years ago as rank heresy, but they veri-

THE BARNABY CASE.
DR.. Graves Testifies as to His Relations
with the Dead Woman.

DR.. Graves Testifies as to His Relations
with the Dead Woman.
DENVER, Col, Dec 24.-In the Graves
trial, today, Mel Dahl, chemist, was
called to the stand. He said arsenite OF
potassium was commonly used as medl-
cine in the shape OF Fowler's solution.
The formula for compounding arsenite
OF potassium is very simple. Witness
made tests to find arsenic often wit
ness explained number of tests and
said after mirrors were obtained in little
glass tubes, it was necessary to test
them to prove what they were. There
were many vegetable alkaloids which
could not be detected in the system
after being taken.
Sallie Hanley. Mrs. Barnaby's former
maid, said Graves introduced her to
Mrs. Barnaby, and through his influence
Mrs. Barnaby adopted her as travelling
companion and maid. She informed
Graves of Mrs. Barnaby's intention OF
purchasing house from Bennett. This
was the cause OF the threat from Graves
to Mrs. Barnaby of appointing a
guardian.
DIR. Graves then went on the witness
stand. He said he made the acquaint-
ance of Mrs. Barnaby three years ago,
shortly after she engaged him as her
physician, after the death OF Mr.. Bar
naby. He advised Mrs. Barnaby to
contest the will, and suggested Lawyer
Ballou. After the compromise, he had
become Mrs. Barnaby's agent. He said
he never advised Mrs. Barnaby to make
an affidavit that Maud Barnaby was not
her daughter. He denied having told
Mrs. Barnaby that her husband had
willed 500, 900 to his mistress. He also
denied having said anything against the
Bennetts, as he knew nothing injurious
to them. The doctor said Mrs. Barnaby
was very extravagant and spent SIG, 900
in one year. AS her agent he objected
to this. He did not know how much
Mrs. Barnaby bequeathed him until the
will was read after her death.

whv Ewes Are Light and Dark.

An interesting point is the cause of
the different shades of color we see in
the eyes. On certain membrane in the
interior are numerous cells, called 'pig-
ment" cells. When these are present in
very great numbers they produce that
deep black color of some eyes, and in
proportion to their numbers decrease
also the depth of color, till finally light
blue is reached. In certain eyes these
pigment cells do not exist at all, being
wanting, indeed, all through the system,
hair and skin. A person of this descrip-
tion is called an albino, and among ami
mails we find parallel in the case of
the white rabbit.-Chambers Journal.

The Season of Rough Bars-The Steamer
Humboldts Experience.


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 24.-This is the
season of rough bars and storm rocked
vessels, each succeeding day bringing
forth fresh stories of havoc committed
by the waves. The Humboldt arrived
this morning from Humboldt bay
bearing marks of i'll usage. The steamer
left Eureka yesterday. She shipped
several seas, but no accidents occurred
until she was we'll outside. when big

injuring one of his hands and receiving
shaking up generally. One of the
deck hands was washed around
and bruised, while heavy wave
swashed the pilot house windows
and broke the ships rail
in several places. Captain Brant
was carried to his cabin, and Mate
Bone brought the vessel to port, without
further disaster. The captains broken
leg was set soon after the arrival of the
steamer. and the damage to the vessel
was set right in such order that she
bears no traces of the bad luck she en-
countered.

There Are No Blind Fish.

There are many animals in the world
which pass all their lives in darkness,
never seeing d ray Of light. Every one
has heard of the blind fishes of the Nam
moth cave. The latter is the biggest of
500 great caverns in the United States.
All of them are inhabited by numerous
other sorts of creatures that have no
eyes for vision. Literally speaking there
is no such thing as blind fish, since the
most sightless of the finny'tribe possesses
visual organs IN a rudimentary condi-
ton. but through want of use the optic
ganglia and nerves have broken down
and been absorbed. Washington Star.

Amusement for the Baby.

Mr.. Waldrige surprised his baby Sun
day night. He didn't intend to surprise
it; he intended to amuse. He had been
to church, and on reaching home drew
his revolver from his pocket to put it
away. Baby reached for the weapon.
If baby wanted it, baby must have it, so
papa took out the cartridges one
of thern-and then to show baby how to
operate the toy, he pulled the trigger.
That was where the baby was surprised

A VALUABLE COLT.
The Last Stamboul Minnehaha Colt
Dead.

Word reached this city yesterday
from Rosemeade that the yearling colt
by Stamboul, out of Minnehaha, died
yesterday morning. This piece OF news
will be read with regret by every horse
man in America. The colt gave promise
of being the best son OF Minnehaha, the
greatest broodmare in all America. He
was symmetrical and handsome ap-
pearing youngster, like all his distin-
guished brothers. Mr.. Rose recently
sold this istocratically-bred youngster
for $4,000. If the writer is not in error,
two thousand dollars was paid as
deposit, the balance to be paid on the
delivery OF the colt. Mr.. Rose has the
sympathy of every breeder in his loss.
A brother of this colt sold for $26, 600,
which was the highest price ever paid
for 2-year- old.
