A Clever Stratagem.

When the electric telegraph was first intro
duced into Chill stratagem was resorted to
In order TO guard the posts and wires against
damage on the part of the Araucanian In
dams and maintain the connection between
the strongholds on the frontier. There were
at the time between forty and fifty captive
Indians In the Gillian camp. General Pinto
called them together. and, pointing to the tel
egraph wires. said. DO you see those wires?"
"Yes. general" VERY good. want you to
remember not to go near or touch them, for
II you do your hands will be held. and you
will be unable to get away" The Indians
smiled increduously. Then the General made
them each In succession take hold of the wire
at both ends OF sn electric battery In full
operation, after which he exclaimed: II COM
mand you to let go of the wire!, II can't;
my hands are bepumbeo!, cried each Indian.
The battery was then stopped. Not long
afterward the General restored them 10 lib
erty. giving them strict injunctions to keep
the secret and not betray 1t to their country
men. This had the desired effect. for, as
might be expected, the experiment was re-
lated sin the strietest confidence to every
man Of the tribe. and the telegraph ever since
has remained unmolested.-fNew York Her

HamIin's First Meeting with Lincoln.

Hannibal Hamlin never met Abraham
Lincoln until the day after the nomination,
In May, 1860. The introduction took place
In the old fremont House In Chicago, and
from the beginning the two candidates
seemed mutually prepossessed with each
other, a feeling which developed afterward
into profound friendship.
Mr.. Hamin used TO tell with a great deal
Of glee the manner of receiving the news Of

He was sitting In one Of the rooms of the
old fremont PLAYING euehre with party of
politicians. Suddenly the noise OF many feet
was heard In the corridor without. Such
events were not unusal In a hotel filed with
delegates, so the game was not interrupted
But just deal had been finished and the
trump turned. Schuyler Colfax burst into the

Catarrh, Not Local, But Constitutional.

of catarrh. 1t is rot disease of the mans

Itself In the nose-a Local exhibition of II
Constitutional trouble" Therefore, he argues,
the use of snuff and other local applications is

rary relief, they really do more harm than
good. Other leading authorities agree with
DR.. Lewis. Hence, the only proper method
OF cure for catarrh Is by taking constitu'
tlonal remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla, " hich.

the whole man healthier. 1t removes the

How Old Is Punch?

On landing at one of the sugar fac.

and vegetables in one quarter, cotton
and calicoes in another, native wooden

faloes, camels and donkeys. There were
al fresco coffee stalls and a booth, with
in which the sounds of very noisy music
could be heard, the drum predominating.
We entered, and were much amused on
finding that it was an Arab Punch and

The Sense OF Smell.

The eye is used only for seeing, and
the ear for hearing, but the nose is one
of the organs that serve double pur-
pose. 1t is not only the seat of the
sense of smell, but was intended to be
the principal organ through which man
should breathe. Its circuitous passages,
warm and moist, protect the lungs by
taking the chill from the inspired air
and arresting irritating dust.
The whole nose is not concerned i'll
the act of smelling. The olfactory
nerves, which alone take cognizance OF
odors, are situated in the upper third OF
the nasal chambers, out of the line OF
ordinary inhalation. For this reason we
do not usually notice odors unless they
are somewhat strong; but when we sniff
draw the air into the upper part OF
the nostrils and hold it there for few
moments-we become aware Of the faint
est scent--Youth's Companion.

A Spiders Rapid Work.

When the common geometrical spider
has made up its mind to spin web, it
commences operations by inclosing GER
tain area with the foundation lines. To
these radiating lines are fixed, generally
about thirty in number, and all joining
in the center of the snare. When the
radii are finished the spinner proceeds
TO weave the concentric lines, stretching
them from one radiating thread to an
other, and forming them Of the silk
thickly studded with viscous drops.
Starting from the center of the web,
however. the first few concentric threads
are without this popularity, the reason
being that the spider likes to sometimes
sit in the middle Of its web, and natural
ly does not care to be incommoded with
the sticky matter which it prepares fol
the special benefit Of its prey.
When the snare is finished, task
which often does not occupy more than
forty minutes in spite of the complicated
nature of the work, the spider weaves q
cell in some secluded spot close at hand
connecting it with the center of the wei
by means of special thread. This, by
its trembling, gives intimation of the
capture of any insect in the web, and
also forms pathway by which the
snugly ensconced spider is enabled to
proceed on an investigating expedition

ing it with molten iron. 1t combined
perfectly with the iron, and | found
that only small quantity was necessary
to increase the huidity of the metal 1t
rendered the iron ductile, and in low
grades acted as apurifier. The product
of the alloy was a homogeneous metal
of very fine pores, capable of higher
finish than before. The Stag expelled
by its use contained no metal, and was
very light. In the treatment of iron
with only one per cent. of this new orr
the formers tensile strength was in
creased from 10 to 20 per cent.
Using only half of one per cent ol
this or in a mixture with copper, found
that it gave the metal greater density
and great increase--from 60 to 100 per
cent.-of tensile Ih. The result
ing metal, too, is capable of a high polish.
In word, found that the ore increased
