CAUSED BY HER CORSET.

a Woman's Strange Experience with =
Magnst In a Signal station Post.
In the weather observers Office at
the government building is a curious
looking box with glass sides nearly 2
feet long and 6 inches square. Inside
the box. suspended by a silk thread is
a bar of pure steel 16 inches long and
nearly ar inch square. At one end of
ehe needle is a diagram to indicate the
variations of the magnet. When tie
steel bar vas first swung in the govern
ment building il was nothing more
than a useless piece of metal.
By degrees, however, it began to as
sert itself and feel that it needed some
thing to help it make a mark in the
world. 1t forthwith filed up on cleo
tricity which it found floating through
the air, until now it has become so sen
sitive you a scarcely look at it with
out attracting its attention. When the
eloudbGrsts nearly deluged the coun-
try around the city of Troy this needle
manifested its uneasiness by banging
itself up against its glass house.
Weather Observer White did not
know what 10 think of its strange
movements. OF course he didn't know
anything of the cloudbursts at the
time, but he concluded something ter
rible was going TO happen, so he de
cided that as it was he time of year
for taking a vacation he might just as
well go then. His assistant, Mr.. Kri-
ehelt, remained, am in due time heard

If you point a ia kknife at the thing
It will swing arc md and bump up
against tbs glass case as if in anger.
The other day a modest looking lady
was sight SEER in the government
building. She wandered into the
weather Office md appeared greatly
interested. Everything in the place
seemed to catch her eye, and all the
appliances for keeping track of affairs
in the atmosphere were quietly scanned
and their purpose guessed. But when
her eye rested on this bar of steel she
became uneasy. She approached it
nervously, but every time she drew
near the case the bar swung toward
her with surprising velocity. She would
retrace her steps a few feet and again
advance, evidently hoping to get near
the box without being seen.
She kept repeating her maneuvers,
but the bar was on the alert, and her
advances were received with ~tappings
On the glass. She was afraid TO ask
any questions, and Assistant Krichelt
was too modest 10 explain the cause Of
the needles agitation. But he told a
reporter o afterward that he knew
the lady carried steel in her corsets,
and hat the sensitive magnet was

There is a barber down town who
deserves well Of humanity. After
spreading around the candidate for a
hair cut an apron and towel, he tucks
down in his neck a narrow roll Of cot
ton. This catches and holds all the
flying bits Of hair that erstwhiie worked
their way down a mans back, and
when the hair cut is completed this is
thrown into the waste basket.
This may appear a small matter but
it means much to the man ia the chair.

How to Avoid Damp Sheets.

II you are to sleep in a strange bed
and there is a suspicion Of damp about
the sheets, lay your watch between
them and either smoke a cigar or read
a while. Then take out the watch, and
if there is any film or mist on the glass
don't go to bed, or, if you do, sleep be

damp. Hundreds Of drummers. and

a Hoou way 10 Learn a
There are many ways Of making the
study of languages interesting, but
probably none by which. apart from
interest, il can be made easy. In the
requirement of tongues all labor, unless
it be absolutely and wastefully misdi-
rected, tells in bringing about the de-
sired end. A good plan is for the stu
dent 10 obtain a translation of some
book with which he is already familiar
in English and read the foreign version,
using the original as a dictionary. A
work like Uncle Toms Cabin" which
has been translated into the principal
languages Of Europe, is excellent for
the purpose. Bibles, now published at
a low cost in hundreds Of tongues. are
also useful.
When the aim Of the learner is 20
write as well as read in a foreign tongue.
he can translate his original page by
page. and can use that original at once
as Of comparison and correction.
But whatever be the kind or extent of
the lingual knowledge sought. constant
repetition is essential as a means Of con
serving what has been acquired .-Bos-

DOCTOR UNDER ARREST.
He Is Charged With Leading a Youns

He Is Charged With Leading a Young
Girl Astray.
ATLANTA, GA, May 5.-The grand jury
to-day found true bill. embodying very
grave charge, against City Ward Physician
M. G. Martin. Under the indictment the
doctor will be called upon to answer in the
courts for leading astray Young Ellen Bro
gan, mere school girl The reports of her
exact age are conflicting, the figures
ranging from IL years, as claimed by her
mother, to II, which is the doctors estimate.
More generally credited than either is the
girls own statement; she pro esses to be
between Is and IA. In regard to other de-
tails of the ugly business the accounts are
scarcely less irreconcilable. The girl
paints matters as black as possible for the
doctor, while he denies emphatically all re-
sponsibility for her condition. claiming that
it was due to another man whom he names.
Ellen Brogan is the daughter of a widow
who resides in the neighborhood of DR..
Martins house. The doctor has wife and
several children, and is a man of middle
age. A warrant was taken out for his ar
rest Immediately after the fiuiing of the
true bill. He was absent from the city en-.
loying the day at the police picnic, but late
this evening the papers were served, and
he was required to give bond in the sum OF
$4,000
