Experiments in Tight Lacing.

Experiments have just been made
with a view of ascertaining the ef'
fects of tight-lacing on monkeys.
Female monkeys were put into
plaster-of-paris jackets, to initiate
stays, and a tight bandage put
around the waist to initiate peti-
coat band. Several of the monkeys
died very quickly, and all showed
signs of injuries resulting from the
treatment. The British Medical
Journal, in treating the subject at
some length, proves that the con-
struction of the vital organs of the
body caused by tight-lacing is con-
tinually working mischief in the
human subject. 1t commends the
enlightened intelligence of a GER
tain section of the fashionable COM
munity, which is discarding the use
of the corset, and states that those
who are continuing its abuse are
working woe for themselves and
their children. An English paper
commenting on these reflections
says that this is undoubtedly. very
lamentable, but, as an expression OF
opinion, it considers that the most
to be pitied are the monkeys.

A Boston Mans Discovery.

George A. Clarke, an experienced
iron worker in Boston, Mass, claims
to have discovered ore in the Rocky
mountains which he believes is new
to the world. He says of it: Il took
specimens of the ore to assayers at
Cincinnati, Chicago and Boston,
and no one of them could tell me
the name of the mineral. Then l
began here series of experiments.
Mixing it with moulton iron, it
combined perfectly with the iron
and found that only small guam
tity was necessary to increase the
fluidity of the metal. It rendered
the iron ductile and in low grades
acted as purifier. The product Of
the alloy was a homogeneous metal
of very fine pores, capable of higher
finish than before. I found that it
gave the metal greater density
and great tensile strength. 1t is
non-corrosive."
Clarke produced a handful of the
ore substance that looked like fine
sandstone, save that it presented a
highly polished surface as smooth
as bit Of glass. Clarke refused
to state the location of the find.

Sailors Want q Caul.

An old sailor of the old school
went to a physician whom | assist
occasionally, a short time ago, and
offered him $40 for the first caul
he could he get. We got him
one within a week. No; such a
request isn't as rare as you think.
Sailors hold to the superstition OF
olden days, and have heard OF q
crew going to one of the city hos
pitals and offering as high as $75
for a caul, What do they do with
it? Why, cut it up and divide it
among themselves. They believe
that it keeps bad weather and i'll
luck away. A funny request was
made by some of the sailors on the
Brazilian vessel which was in this
port last year. Two of the crew had
been stirred up on the caul subject
by an ancient English mariner
whom they had met, and they went
to hospital and wanted the eau

"Secret Mail" of India.

What is known as the "secret
mail" of India has for more than a
generation perplexed the English
mind, and is still profound mys-
terry, although numberless attempts
have been made to explain it. Every
one who has lived long in Asiatic
countries is aware that the accurate
knowledge of important happen
ings at distances often possessed
by the natives a considerable time
before it is obtained by the Govern
ment, even though special facilities
had been provided for the trans
mission of the news.
This was frequently and conspic-
uously illustrated throughout the
Sepoy rebellion. Happenings oc-
curing hundreds of miles away
were usually known in the bazars
hours, and sometimes days, before
the news reached the authorities,
and the information obtained was
regarded as SO trustworthy that the
natives speculated upon it even to
the full extent of their fortunes.
Indeed, upon one occasion the 'se-
cret mail'' beat the Government
courier by fully twelve hours, al
though every endeavor had been
made to secure the swiftest dispatch.
The Hindoos themselves say,
when they consent to talk about it
at all, that they depend neither upon
horses nor men, and have no secret
code of signals, but that they do
possess a system of thought trans
mission which is as familiar to them
as is the electric telegraph to the
Western world. Any one may ac-
cept this explanation that will.
But though most people with less
fondness for the mysterious and a
better knowledge of the weakness
of the Hindoos for making griddles
of the simplest facts will look for
more prosaic explanation, it re-
mains to be said that none has been
forthcoming. The "secret mail" is
an indubitable reality, and no West
erner has ever succeeded in solving
it's mystery.
If news is transmitted by signals
no one has ever seen the signalers
nor if there is vast system of sta
ges in operation, covering hundreds
and thousands of miles, has any
one ever come across any of its ma
chinery? And, indeed, it would
seem that some means of commu.
nication must be at the command
of the natives more rapid than
horses or runners. - Providence

The Potency of Red Tape.

When Jay Gould knocked Charles
Francis Adams out of the presiden-
cy of the Union Pacific railroad last
Fall, there was considerable of a
financial furry in Oregon and Wash
ington, as well as elsewhere. There
was one man in Portland who owned
considerable Seattle property, on
which he owed a good deal in Port
land. He was and is easily worth
a million dollars and his credit is
above par, but like good many
others he was badly squeezed. He
carried bank account in Chicago,
and was in that city a little while
before Thanksgiving, and was in
conversation with the president of
the bank where he did business.
"Mr. Blank" said the banker,
"your account is overdrawn 81 800,
and as it is near the first of the year,
we would like to have you balance
the same to-day"
ut is impossible for me to do it
to-day, and it may be days before |
can. / haven't money enough to
take me back TO Portland"
"Well," said the banker, "can't
you give note, draw draft, do
something, so that the bookkeeper
can balance the books?"
Draw draft! Who in the d.
would I draw it on? I might as well
telegraph the Gear of Russia for
funds as to draw draft"
"Well, Mr.. Blank, draw draft
on the Gear. That will square the
books and that is the main thing
just now"
So, after some conversation, q
sight draft was drawn for the amount
and started on it's mission, and the
proper credit given to Mr.. Blank OF
Portland. The draft passed through
many banking firms in this and the
old country. and by the time it
reached the Gear it had attached
many blue ribbons and seals be-
longing to the different institutions
through which it had passed.
It was presented to the Gear
through one of the agents who de-
sired to know what to do with 1t.
The Gear looked it over but did not
understand how he came to owe
money to Mr.. Blank, but. - every
thinf appeared regular. he in
| structed that it be paid, but told the
finaDcial secretary to inform Mr..
BLANK that the next time he drew
draft he must send IN itenized
statement.-Ashlaud Tidings.

JOSEPH SMITHS "seEINs STONE"
A Green Pebble that the Prophet Cred
tied with a Wondrous Property.

The germ of Mormonism origin
ated in Syracuse. About the year
1918 a teamster in the salt works
by the name of Joseph Belcher,
found peculiar stone, or a stone
that the owners claimed contained
great powers. Soon after Belcher
and family removed to Susquehan-
ma county, Pennsylvania, where Joe
Smith was engaged as gold-hunter,
prophet and treasure hunter. Bel
cher called his find a seeing stone. "
1t was green, with brown, irregular
spots on it, and about the same
shape and size as a goose egg. In
those days the country was very
wild and the people very supersti-
tious, and strange stories were told
of lost animals and children that
were found by the aid-of this stone.
The modus operandi was to conceal
the stone in a dark place and Bel
cher's little boy could then see from
its unnatural powers the exact To-
cation Of any object he desired to
find. Joe Smith heard of this min
iature information bureau and soon
sought out Belcher, secured the
stone, and renewed his researches.
In 1925 Joe had in his employ a
set of men who were called money
diggers, and his occupation was
that of seeing or pretending to see
by means Of this stone, placed in
his hat and his hat closed over his
face. In this way he claimed the
power to discover minerals and hid
den treasures. 1t is said he was
insolent, poorly educated and very
careless in appearance.
About this time Smith procured
a box Of plates, which it is sup
posed he brought from Palmyra, N.
Y, where he lived for a short time.

Length Of Working Days.

ATurkish working day lasts from
sunrise to sunset, with certain ln-
tervals for refreshment and repose.
In Montenegro the day laborer be-
gins work between 5 and 6 in the
morning, knocks off at s for half
an hour, works on till noon, rests
until 2 and then labors on until
sunset. This is in summer. In
winter he commences work at Z 80
or 8, rests from IL to 1 and works
uninterruptedly from that time to
sunset. The rules respecting skilled
labor are theoretically the same,
but considerable laxity prevails in
practice; in Servia the principle Of
individual convenience in every
case. In Portugal from sunrise to
sunset is the usual length of the
working day. With field laborers
and workmen in the building trades
the summer working day begins at
4 80 to 5 in the morning and ends
at 7 in the evening, two or three
hours rest being taken in the mid
die of the day. In the winter the
hours are from 7:3O to 5, with q
shorter interval of repose. In man.
ufactories the rule is twelve hours
in summer and ten in winter, with
an hour and a half off for dinner.
Eleven hours is the average days
work in Belgium, but the brewers
men work from ten to seventeen
hours; brickmakers sixteen; the
cabinet et-makers of Brussels and
Ghent are often at work seventeen
hours, with an hour and one-half
at noon; railway guards sometimes
know what it is to work nineteen
and one-half hours at a stretch, and
in the mining districts women are
often kept at truck-loading or sim
liar heavy labor for thirteen or fif-
teen hours.
The normal workday throughout
Saxony is thirteen hours, with two
hours allowance for meal-taking.
In Baden the medium duration Of
labor is from ten to twelve hours (;
but in some cases it far exceeds this,
often rising to fifteen hoursi in stone
ware and china works and cotton
mills; in saw-mills to seventeen
hours while the workers in the
sugar refneries, where the shift sys-
tenn is in vogue, work twenty-four
hours free, and in too many of the
Baden factories Sunday work is the
rule. In Russian industrial estab-
lishments the difference in the work.
ing hours is something extraordi-
nary, varying from six to twenty.

An Alderman's Rare Presence Of Mind

But he never finished the sentence

Pussy Takes Her Medicine.

A New York gentleman, accord
ing to the Sun, had an Angora cat,
upon which he set great value. I'm
happily she was in somewhat frall
health, but could not be persuaded
to take medicine. It was put into
her milk and mixed with her meat,
but all such experiments were un-
successful. Attempts to force It into
her mouth and down her throat
proved equally unsvailing. She
would not take the disagreeable
dose. At last, young Irish girl,
