Loaded Matches,

One of the latest novelties is the
loaded match. 1t is, to al appearances,
one OF the common, innocent-looking
redhead affairs, but there is a surprise
and scare in every one of them. If
your friend wants to light cigar hand
him one of these trick matches. 1t is
lighted in the usual way, but just as it
is fairly ahame and the victim is about
TO apply it to his weed it gives out a
loud report and the light is sextinguished,
much to the chagrin and astonishment
of your friend. This dctonation, which
is about as loud as that produced by the
explosion of q firecracller, is caused by
the fame coming in contact with some
explosive substance, probubly fulmin-
ate. which has been dcftly s,ncarcd on
one side Of the stick.

A STUBBORN NEGRO
IN Bed Twenty-seven Years, Though No>
Physically Dlsabaea

IN Bed Twenty-seven Years, Though Not
Physically Disabled.
One Of the most remarkable Wustrar
lions Of the power Of the human will.
says the St. Louis Globe Democrat, Is
John Bond, q negro about fifty years
old, who, although in no way disabled,
has lain in bed for nearly twenty-seven
years. When quite . young man he,
with his mother and two sisters, lived
on farm near Paoli, Ind The mother
determined to sell the farm and move
to Mitchell. This plan met with great
opposition from the son, who declared
II the farm was sold he would go to bed
and never get up. No attention was
paid to the threat, and the farm was
sold and the family moved here, On
the night of their arrival John went to
bed as usual, but when morning came
he refused to get up. No amount of
persuasion, threats or entreaties could
get him out of bed, and for twenty-seven
years he has stubbornly carried out his
threat of not arising, with one excep-
ton, that being the death Of his mother
few years ago. About midnight, as
the neighbor women were watching
the corpse, they were terribly fright
ened by the appearance Of John, mak-
ing a most ghostly appearance, all
draped in white and his face as ghastly
as that of dead man. Some of them,
not being aware Of his existence,
thought they were being visited by q
sure-enough spook. When he first took
to his bed the case caused a great deal
of comment. Physicians examined him
and pronounced him in perfect health.
But all means which were used to raise
him proved failures. An alarm of fire
and q cry Of burglars had no effect on
him whatever. As time has passed the
people have lost interest in his case and
are only reminded Of his existence by
seeing him carried on stretcher to the
polls on the occasion of some important
election. In the last few years his
health has been gradually failing him,
and he lies in bed, his head and body
completely covered, and speaks to no
one unless spoken to, and then he an
swers all questions as intelligently as
anyone.

yhere. If,there is an atmosphere, ore of the strongest arguments formerly ad- vaneed to show that the moon is not habitable is removed. Astronomers formerly contended that no atmosphere surrounded the moon and that, conse- quently, human beings could not live there. It Is, however. e very different thing from saying that the moon is habitable to say that it is actually in- babited.
 Professor Holden, in speaking upon this subject, said that it is not ques- ton of the power of telescopes ike the one in the Lick Observatory. There is practically no limit to the size a ad mag nifving power of such telescopes. But the earth's atmosphere interieres with the use of very powerful reiractors. The atmosphere of the earth ii in con stant motion, like the air which rises from heated surface. This vibration interferes with observations through 8 refractor, and the influence is greater the more powerful the telescc pc is. He has in mind, however, the construction of reflector which would enable as- tronomers to obtain much larger images of the surface of the moon .han they can now. But, nevertheless. he is of the opinion that ''it is nearly, If not quite. certain that there are no inhabi- t.nto n, tha ,,,n,>r fo, ys to cou n, I, m . cate with, even if it were possible to make signals that would be under stood"

 Syrup

The majority of well-read phys icians now believe that Consunlp- ton is a germ disease. In other words, instead of being in the con- stitution itself it is caused by innu- merable small creatures living in the lungs having no business there and eating them away as caterpillars do
 the leaves of trees. A Germ The phlegm that is
 coughed up is those Disease. parts of the lungs
 which have e been gnawed off and destroyed. These little bacilli, as the germs are called, are too small to be seen with the naked eye, but they are very much alive just the same, and enter the body in our food, in the air we breathe, and through the pores of the skin. Thence they get into the blood and finally arrive at the lungs where they fasten and increase with frightful rapidity. Then German Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills them, expells them, heals the places they leave, and so nourish and soothe that, in short time corisump- hves become germ-proof and well. @

IS THE MOON INHABITEDs

The Denver Republican in it's issue of August 30. says: Prof. Holden, the di- rector of the Lick Observatory or Mount Hamilton, California, has been making photographs of the moon with the and of the big telescope in that observatory. These photographs are said to be much better than any previously taken. There is promise that through the investiga- lions which he is making our knowledge in regard to the condition of the moon will be greatly increased. .
 In this connection the old question as to whether the moon is inhabited &C., quires new interest. Some time ago a French lady made bequest of 100000 francs to the Academy of Sciences to be given as prize to anyone who should discover the means of communicating with any of the other worlds. It is be- lieved that she was induced to do this through the influence of Flammarion, sensational French astronomer to whom considerable attention has recently been drawn. It is the opinion of most as- tronomers that this bsquest is absurd. Flammarion is a man of ability, but he seems to have an appreciation of the marvellous and sensational that does not comport with that modest and inquiring spirit which is characteristic of scien- lists of the highest order.
 It appears that Professor Holden is able to distinguish the shadows of ob- Tscts on the surface of the moon fifty iess nigh. If a tall building should be sYested on e9e moon this fact could be discovered by the presence of the shadow. But Professor Holden does not think that his investigations will reveal any evidence that the moon is in- habited. Nothing has yet been seen to indicate that it is anything other than desolate waste of volcanoes and lava beds.
 Probably the most interesting of his discoveries thus far is what seems to be an indication of the presence of snow on one of the mountains. If snow exists the moon there is, of course, an atmos-

THE CHILEAN REVOLUTION.

With the overthrow of Balmaceds and the complete defeat of his army, there can be no doubt but that peace will once more reign in Chile as it did for fifty eight years prior to the appointment of the late ex-president.
 The only question to be solved is whether the defeat be so serious as to prevent reorganization. It is probable that it is. During the interim of change of administrations the lives and prop erty of foreigners in Valparaiso will be kept safe by the presence of the fleets of France, Germany, England and the United States. Such protection is need. ful, for in the South American prov- inces victory generally is followed by plunder.
 From the first, the Congressional party has had superior naval resources, and has managed it's inferior land forces with great skill, nor is it to be forgotten that foreign capital and European influence have been used in it's favor. The people of Chile appear to have divided their sympathies nearly equally between the contending factions. What is to be de- sired is that the new government shall be strong enough to maintain itself and wise enough to endear itself to the peo- pie by liberal measures. The resources of the republic are great, it's people are enterprising, its development during the past decade has been marvellous. A wise and stable government alone is needed to give it first place among the nations of the Southern continent.
