It's sometimes said patent
medicines are for the igno-
rant. The doctors foster this
idea.
"The people," we're told,
care mostly ignorant when it
comes to medical science"
Suppose they arel What
a sick man needs is not knowl-
edge, but cure, and the medi-
cine that cures is the medicine
for the sick.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery cures the "do
believes and the "don't be-
lieves." There's no hesitance
about it, no eff" nor "possi-
bly," n.r
1t says-"I can cure you,
only do as / direct"
Perhaps it fails occasionally.
The makers hear of it when it
does, because they never keep
the money when the medicine
fails to do good.
Suppose the doctors went
on that principle. eve beg
the doctors pardon. It
wouldn't do!

Forging BY Electricity.

An exhibition was recently given in
Boston by Mr.. George D. Burton. Of
that city, to Professor Van De Wride,
of the Cooper Institute, New York;
Doctor William H. Wahl, Secretary of
the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia;
Mr.. G. E. Robinson, of the Manufacturer
and Builder, of New York, and half q
dozen other men. The exhibition was
of processes of forging and tempering
by electricity of obdurate metals. One
experiment was the melting into liquid
form of a bar of steel an inch in diam
eter and twelve inches long in forty
tive seconds, without the temperature Of
the room being raised single degree
from its normal condition.
Another thing shown was the making
of stee. railroad spike. The bar is cut
into the required length, the pieces
passed through the electrical machine,
where one end is heated, and then to
3 die, which shapes the head on the
heated end, the point being compressd
into shape without heating. Another ex-
hibit was the forming of an auger
screw, the fiat bar of iron being fas-
tened in the machine at tho two ends
and heated almost instantly, and then
twisted into the required spiral by the
automatic turn of the machine. A little
machine is devised for making spherical
ball bearings, such as are used for BIZ
cycles, etc. While the exhibit was in
progress to-day cablegram was re-
ceivcd from the Krupps, the great gun
makers of Germany, in furtherance Of
negotiations for the rights of the in
vention in Germany and other countries
Of the European continent.

The Hemp Industry.

Kentucky has heretofore been ou:
principal hemp producing State, but
the constantly increasing use of fibre for
various purposes, and especially for
binding twine, seems to demand for it
a wider area of cultivation than it has
previously occupied. In the last annual
report of the Secretary of Agriculture it
Is said there is no reason why hemp cul-
ture should not be extended over dozen
States and the product used in manufac-
lures which now employ thousands Of
tons of imported fibre. In the manu-
facture of binder-twine alone there is an
outlet for upward of fifty thousand tons
of hemp annually. Manila is no better
than hemp, and sisal quite inferior.
When the market for binder-twine was
first created American hemp fitted the
demand-the more carefully prepared
article, straight or dressed hemp, being
employed. About ten years ago the de-
mand increased to a point beyond the
supply, and to meet the exigency of the
case other tibres were employed. Manila
and sisal came into use, and as the con-
BumpClOu OA DluuoT-sWluo SICW W ieS
present enormous proportions these fibres
held their position and hemp was rele-
gated to the background.
Extensive manufacturers of harvesting
machinery are quoted as saying that
there is no fibre in the world better
suited to this use than American hemp.
The usual course of procedure in Ken
lucky in raising hemp on blue grass sod
is to plow about four inches deep in the
fall or early spring; sow about the time
to plant corn; sow broadcast thirty y-three
pounds of seed per acre, having first
prepared the seed-bed thoroughly, aud
cover by dragging with the harrow asfor
any of the small grains. About one hun.
dred days are required for the crop to
mature. The fact that sisal hemp can
be grown in this country was satisfac-
tor;!y demonstrated many years ago, but
the frost line sharply marks the northern
limit of its cultivation.-Nsw York

How to Sharpen q screwdriver.

The screwdriver is found not only In
ths tool chest of every mechanic, but in
most houses and in not few Offices. It
ranks with the hammer, the saw and axe
in general utility, and yet very few per-
sons know anything about how it should
be sharpened 50 as to do its work most
efficiently-that IS, with tho least expen-
diture of power and the least injury to
the heads of screws.
In driving screw into the wood the
force used to press the screwdriver
against the head of the screw tends tc.
aid the latter in penetrating the wood,
but when we attempt to extract screw.
every pound Of pressure that we apply
tends to render it more difficult to get the
screw out. 1t therefore becomes very
important that the screwdriver should be
so formed that it may be kept in the nick
of the screw by the exertion of the very
least degree of force, for if it has any
tendency to slip out we can keep it in
place only by applying pressure, in which
case we can run great risk of injuring
the nick and rendering it impossible to
draw the screw.
If we examine screwdriver In the
condition in which it is ordinarily found
we shall find that it presents section in
which the sides of the wedge in which
all screwdrivers terminate, are curves
with convex sides outward. Now, the
effect of thus curving the sides of this
wedge is to render it greatly more OBJ.
tuse. Moreover, when we turn the screw
driver, the tendency to slip out of the
nick is just in proportion to the obtuse-
ness or bluntness of the we7ge, and,
therefore, this form is the very worst that
can be chosen. In the hands of most
good workmen, therefore, we find that
the screwdriver ends in a wedge, of
which the sides are perfectly straight.
This is very good form, but it is not
equal to form in which the sides of the
wedge are curves, but with the concave
sides turned outward. In this way we
lessen the obtuseness of the wedge at the
extreme point, and produce a turnscrew
which may be kept in the nick by the
least possible pressure endwise. To grind
screw wdriver into this form it is neces-
sary to use very small grindstone, and
many of the artificial stones found in
market answer admirably. Most me-
chanics would find it to their advantage
to keep one of these small grindstones for
the purpose, and it could be run in the
lathe with very little trouble. .-zecls-

WORDS OF wIsDOM.

We're never to old to unlearn.
Tho grief which all hearts share,
gfows less for one.
Beware of the man who feigns to be
amused when he is angry.
An average awkward squad makes .
good display of wheel within a wheel.
It's always more agreeable to tell tho
truth about ones neighbors than ones
self.
The man who has to hoe his own row
is foolish to befoul the soil with wild
cats.
You cannot repent too soon, because
you do not know how soon it may be too
late.
Some people seem to imagine that pre-
ordination offers an excellent excuse for
life failure.
Our generation appears to thought
full mind ungirt aud frivolous compared
with the last age.
One reason why some people are not so
wicked as others is because they haven't
had SO good chance.
Simplicity is the last attainment of
progressive literature, and many are
afraid of being natural from the dread
of being taken for ordinary.
Mankind is always happier for having
been happy; if you make them happy
now, you make them happy twenty years
hence by the memory of it.
Ignorance is bliss; and when man
deceives his friends he quiets his con-
science by saying that he did it because
he knew they would be happier.
Mighty ideals are requisite for mighty
achievements. The mightest ideals are
born now where they have always been
born-in that lofty sphere of contempla-
ton.
Our life is determined for US; and it
makes the mind very free when we give
up wishing, and only think of bearing
what is laid upon us, and doing what is
given US to do.
A clown who is smart in his profession
may achieve quite reputation, but
minister who is buffoon loses the high
honor of the sanctuary and fails to gain
even the poor applause of circus.
limitations are always authorizations.
Let everyone be himself-but his best
self, not his worst self. There are two
selves in every self. Bring out into
dominance the angel and subordinate
the animal.

Pizarro Exhumed.

An interesting ceremony took placu
the other day in the Cathedral in Lima,
Peru. The body of Captain
Francisco Pizarro, the conqueror of
Peru, which had lain for two hundred
years in the crypt beneath the grand al
tar, was removed to stone sarcophagus
in the chapel of the viceroys, a part of
the Cathedral. A large concourse of
people were present, and addresses were
delivered by the Alcalde, the Minister of
Spain, Bishop Tovar and others.
The body has stood the ravages Of
time exceedingly we'll, but this is ex-
planned by the fact that for the first fifty
years it was buried in the earth, and the
presence of nitre in the soil prevents de-
cay. The skull had been detached from
the body, the fingers and toes had been
removed, presumably by relic hunters, and
the softer parts of the body and head were
all consumed, but the skin had hardened
and shrunk closely around the ribs and
the bones of the arms and legs, leaving
the remains Ia mummified condition.
A council of physicians made q
thorough examination of the body and
located distinctly the wound in the head
which caused death, besides the severe
injuries in the arm and side. Before it
was placed in the sarcophagus the skull
was put in place by means of wires and
the body covered with several coats of
thick ys-nish to prevent further decay.
On the 26th of June, 1541, the con-
queror was slain by company of con-
spirators in the building now known as
the palace, and this day was the 35Orh
anniversary of the event.
When your correspondent looked upon
the withered remains of one of the great
est characters in modern history, and re-
fected that F-zarro was a contemporary
of Columbus, and that he died nearly a
century before the Pilgrims landed at
Plymouth Rock or the English settled
jamestown, Virginia, he realized some
thing of the antiquity of the Spanish
sivilization in South America. .--Nep York

You have it here. Hand it overi Give
me that yellow wig which I see sticking
out from under the gray coat which
yesterday formed part of your disguise2"
Perceiving that he had been efectual-
ly entrapped the thief went to little
closet behind the chimney and took down
the bag of gold, which he handed to the
chief Of police, saying: 81 have spent
two"
Gorgok counted them, found them
correct, handed the culprit over to the
police, who carried him of to prison,
while the General hastened back to his
house. To the immense and natural de-
light Of the banker, who had himself
just come so near being tempted by his
losses into the commission of crime,
he passed out to him the familiar can
vass bag. With cry of joy and aston
ishment at its restoration the banker
seized it, but was so overcome by his
feelings that he stared helplessly at the
police official asking for an explanation.
"Count theml" said the general, turn
ing to his table and beginning to write.
The merchant eagerly undid the strings
of the bag and feverishly emptied its
contents upon the table. He began count
ing them, putting them back into the
bag as be did SO. At last he said:
1.-TWO roubles are missing"
"That is strange
"What is strange9 That there should
be so few gomez"
"Neither. But that the thief should
tell the exact truth. They seldom do. He
said he had spent two"
"Then you have captured himf"
ssHe is now in prison"
"How did you get him SO quickly9 It
is hardly an hour since you departed"

IN SUNSET LAND.

In the Sunset land, IN the Sunset land,
Behind the glorious gates of gold unframed
of human hand,
There lie the mountain, vale and wood.
The lake, the sparkling stream,
More uncompared and passing good
Than through the clouds they seem.
In the Sunset land, in the Sunset land.
The pearl-and-opal sea Of light in ceaseless
motion grand,
Heeves at the feet of hills so bold
We cannot dream their height,
Nor guess to where their foreheads old
Bear up the gems of night.
In the Sunset land, in the Sunset land,
All cool and sweet the pine tree waves its
slumber-showering hand,
And liquid argent runs the stream
With slumberous, mystic note,
And fast asleep the white clouds seem
Upon the lakes aaoau.
In the Sunset land, in the Sunset land,
No trail of foot or trough o. keel is found on
leaf or sand;
No hand hath ever harmed tree
Or bent a blooming flower;
And matchless sweet as matchless free
The landscape lies in power.
In the Sunset land, in the Sunset land,
The dream of Rest swirns softly down as In
our dreams we planned.
The war of work, the clash of care,
The racking of regret
No echoing thought of these is there,
So high that land is set,
Oh pearl.and-opal sea Of light, barred back
by gates of gold,
Oh rainbow bolts shot all too strong into
Times pillars old
Let back, let in! and let US wend
Through country heaven-spanned,
And learn the Universe's end,
There, in the Sunset landi

the merchant.
| .It was a chestnut, my lord"
\ ssHave the chestnut harnessed," he

The merchant went carefully over It
again.
"Your carriage is ready, your excel

| az will ask you to remain here until

chant. Quitting the room, descending
the stairs to the street and getting into
his drowsky he drove away.
The suspense of the merchant was ter
rible. He sat down but in half minute
| rose again; walked the room; looked out
| the window sat in another chair; once
more got up; went to the door; locked
out; saw no one, heard no one; but kept
hoping, wishing for solution to this
| mysterious affair. Should the police CT
fcers keep the money and not even ac-
| cuse the banker of blackmail or attemp-
ted extortion-there was only a life OF
toll, poverty and disgrace before him.
He could never recover from the loss,
unless like the man who had robbed him
he entered upon career of crime.
In his desperation he began even to
contemplate it. He involuntarily looked
around the room to see if there was any
thing valuable or place for concealing
ANYTHING valuable which he might lay
hands on by way of restitution. II was
bare official apartment with ordinary
chairs, long table and writing cabinet
| furnished with drawers and pigeon-holes.
He stealthily approached it and carefully
opened the drawers. Two OF the twelve
were locked. The rest contained only
official papers and documents. He had
several of his own keys in his pockets.
He tried them one after another in the
drawers. One of them turned the lock
in the upper drawer. 1t too was full OF
papers. He took two or three OF them
up and looked at them. They were re-
ports of various cases that had come un-
der the supervision of the Police General.
On one of them was Endorsed the name
of the richest nobleman in the empire.
A sudden but base thought struck the
desperate merchant; he would read it
and by means of the information extort
money from the nabob compromised in
it. But he hesitated; he fumbled the
little package, began opening it, then
stopped and tried to peer into its folds.
Suddenly the stopping of carriage in
the street below arrested him. It might
be the General. A door below Jared.
He thrust the papers back into the
drawer, and had barely time to lock it
again and seat himself at the window
when the Police General, striding at a
hot pace, entered the room.

CHAPTER II.

In those days line of sentinels was
established at the corners of all the prin-
cipal streets, who formed part of the
police force of the city. On leaving his
house Gorgoli ordered himself driven to
the block in which the jewelers. shop
was situated. Stopping at the nearest
sentinel's box, he said to him: ~ passed
here yesterday morning at 1920. Did
you see mcf"
"Yes, you excellency."
"Where did l goa"
"Over to the Troitski Trinity
bridge"
The General was driven to the bridge.
At its entrance he said to the sentinel:
:I passed here at twenty minutes to
eleven yesterday morning. Did you see
us2"
"I did your excellency."
"Where did l go from here9"
"Your excellency drove across the
bridge.
He crossed the bridge and stopped in
front of the "Hermitage" of Peter the
Great. me sentinel at once stepped out
of his box.
81 passed here yesterday morning at
little before eleven o'clock. Did you
notic- 6ne way tooka"
"You went into the Viborg quarter,
excellency."
General Gorgoli continued his cate
chizing of the sentinels from point to
point, street to street, neighborhood to
neighborhood, across bridges and along
the wide avenues. At the last of the
row of shops on the Grand Perspective
he said to cDe of them:
"You saw me pass here at half-past
eleven yesterday morning. Did you
notice where drove2"
"Yes, your excellency, to No. 10 on
the corner of the Canal Catherine"
"Did go in therea" -
"Yes." = '-'Sa;'''
Sand come out again2"
81 did not see you"
"Very well. Have yourself relieved
by one of your comrades and bring two
soldiers from the nearest barracks"
"Yes, your excellency."
The sentinel hurried away and in ten
minutes returned with the soldiers. Ac-
companied by them the General present.
ed himself at No. 18, closed all the out
side doors, cross-examined the porter,
ascended the stairs and without ceremony
burst open the door of the front room.
AS he entered he came face to face with
the inmate who, but for his hair, which
was dark, might have been the twir
brother OF the police general. After one
glance around the room, he SAID to the
lodger:
"Your name is-?"
"Yes," stammered the man.
"Yesterday at 10 o'clock you entered
tho shop, No Grand Million. You
wore yellow curled wig resembling my
hair; you had on gray coat with q
heavy collar like mine; you drove up in
a carriage like mine, with chestnut
colored horse like mine. In fact, you
pretended to be Gorgoli, chief of po-
lice, and in ny name to borrow 10000
roubles for which I was to give security.
You drove away through many streets,
across several bridges, back and forth
until you arrived at this house. You
are a notorious thief and pickpocket,
who cunningly took advantage of your
accidental resemblance to me, to rob the
banker Of good portion Of his fortune.

Flight
BELGRADE, May 19.-The project of
this city. who was charged by the re-
gents with the duty of expelling ex-
Queen Natalie from Servian territory,
went to the latter's residence yes
terday and In spite OF her earnest pro
tests. compelled her to enter a carriage
which drove toward the quay on the
Danube. where the royal yacht was
mOOred-
The news that the ex-queen was
really to be expelled from Servia had.
in the meantime, spread throughout
Belgrade and had reached the students
quarters The latter promptly turned
out in force, and as the carriage con
tanning the unhappy lady was being
driven toward the Danube, it was sur
rounded by a crowd Of students. who
seized the horses heads, brought the
vehicle to standstil1 and loudly cheered
the royal prisoner.
The students then detached the horses
from the carriage and dragged the We
hicle back to the ex-queen's residence,
cheering loudly as they passed through
the streets
The project, assisted by a force Of
gendarmes, tried in vain 70 regain pos
session of the ex-queen and several col
lisiOns took place between the gend-
armes and the students.
The regents are anxiousIy discussing
the next step to take, as it is evident
that a serious popular disturbance may
be caused by any hasty action on their
part, now that it is evident that the ez-
queen is not so friendless as some peO-
pie supposed
After Natalie had been taken back to
her residence by the students the cabi-
net assem- bled Immediately and at 9
o'clock last night the ministers We're
still in session.
The citizens and merchants generally
side with the the ex-queen and the resi-
dence of Natalie is defended by stud
ents. Intense excitement prevails.
A conflict occurred yesterday after
noon, troops firing upon the queens
supporters, killing two and wounding
many others. The premier received a
deputation of citizens who asked him
to intervene in the ex-queen's behalf
