Major Osman, who was Secretary
Of State for Michigan for two terms,
tells San Francisco Call man that
NJ. Quad, the funny man of the De-
troit Free Press, is one of the most &C.
centric individuals in the world and
always filed with odd notions.
"Just before l started West," said
the major yesterday, "Quad, who is
an enthusiastic fisherman, went into a
sporting goods store to look at some
fishing rods. After booking about
him he espied an ash rod in a rack On
the wall that seemed to suit his fan
cy.
"Now, there is rod,' remarked the
the humorist; "that is just the kind of
one that | want, but you fellows are
too stiff in your prices, can buy the
material and have one made for less
money
Gas he hadn't inquired the price
the clerk was indignant, and politely
suggested that he have one made.
The hint was promptly acted upon,
and Quad fastened away to lumber
yard where for 80 cents he purchased
a piece of ash that he fancied would
suit his purpose. 4 mechanic was
employed by the day to make the rod,
and his labor cost So so. Tips and
ferules were bought for 80 cents, and
when complete the rod represented an
investment. of S11 20, but it was a
beauty. Taking it with him to the
store Quad proudly deposited it on
the counter, and said triumphantly:
II told you l could lay you out.
Just look at the rod and tell me if it
not equal in every way to that one on
your rack
"Well, perhaps it is was the res
ponse. GLOW much did it cost your
"Only 81 90"
"Cheap as dirt, but I'll sell you that
one up there for six bits"
And it was fact. The rods were
almost Identical, but the regular price
the ready made rod was the price
named, and the wholesale cost was
just 80 cents.

The papers contain frequent notices
OF rich, pretty and educated girls elo-

ject to headache, neuralgia, sleepless
ness, lmmoderate crying or laughing.
These show weak nervous system

THE HERB OF PROPHECY.

Another remarkable plant has re.
Gently been added to the long list of
botanical curiosities, M. Carrera, De-
putty of Oaxaca, having taken to the
City of Mexico a plant which is
known to grow only in Mixteca, CALI
ed the "herb of prophecy" by the ma
tives. Deyotees of the weed take it
much in the same manner that cocoa
leaves are taken by those addicted to
the habit. In moments after dose
of it is taken sleep is produced SINH
lar in all respects to, and it might be
said, identical with. the hypnotic
state. When under its influence the
sleeper is completely insensible, but
will answer with closed eyes all ques-
tions put to him. 1t is further said
of this wonderful plant that the path
ologic state induced or whomsoever
partakes Of the herb brings with it a
kind of prophetic gift and second
sight. Que who has taken this herb
loses his will even more completely
than does the person who Is In the
hypnotic state, and is SO completely
under control of any voice that he
would shoot or stab himself at any
moment if commanded to do so.
When one regains his senses after
being under the influence of the "pro-
phetic herb" he remembers nothing
of what he has done when in the
trance.

In the old slave days there was a
goddess master who owned a black
named Pomp. Pomp was local ex-
horter of repute, and his master loved
to tease him about it. i. One day he
said: "Pomp, do you believe in the
doctrine of election?"

"Well, persisted the master, edo

The negro scratched his head.

itself. So he fenced with it and
answered:

discussion Of this timely subject may
prove of interest to many readers of
this department Of THE REPUBLIC.
An English magazine, the Engineer,
submits statements to prove that
eighty (S0) miles an hour is the high,
est possible speed, giving the follow
arguments to prove its point:
Because no greater velocity has
ever been attained.
Because of the resistance of The air.
Because Of the back pressure in the
cylinders.
Because of the amount of power
which must be lost in imparting vio-
lent motion to masses of metal which
can make no return when coming to
rest.
Because of the swinging Of the en-
gines; the excessive vibration of its
parts, the jar and conclusion all oper-
ating to keep down the speed.
Because of the extraordinary re-
tarding influence Of very moderate ri
sing gradients.
Because of the coupling-rod-it
appears that coupling an engine tends
to keep down the speed.
An eminent American authority, in
reviewing the Englishman's argument
as above given, says: "This scarcely
settles the matter There is not de-
feet in the mechanism which may not
possibly be improved. The whole
question depends on the resistance of
the air and of friction. The resist
ance Of mechanical friction does not
increase with the speed, but with the
load drawn. With accessions of mo-
tive power this resistance may be neu-
tralized and the velocity increased.
With a smooth, solid and stable track
way and improved mechanism there
appears to be no reason why trains can
not attain speed of 100 per hour

A special dispatch from La Harpe, ILL.,,
Sept. 9, says: Daniel Leverett and W.,
Houston have, made an interesting find
cn the farm of l.. Witch. about miles
east of here, while digging for a squirrel.
They discovered two very fiat. thin stones
lying together They had once been one.
piece, sawed or cut in the middle, leaving
a nice smooth edge. This fact caused
further investigation, and three flint tools
were found between the pieces. On being
examined the slabs showed in clean-c
Latin letters the dates of June 1, 1716, ap-
pearing at the top of one. and 1915 on the
bottom line Of the other A good deal of
other letteting is traced on both slabs,
the meaning Of which has not SO far been
made out The tree under which the,
discovery was made was white oak. and
was originally at least 30 inches thick at
the stump. The point of discovery was
exactly three miles east of the site of al
most prehistoric Fort La Harpe, the only
existing mention of which is found in Le
Bron's French geography, and is there
described as a wintering place of the
band of explorers led down the Mississip-
pi by Sieur de La Sale. The fort itself
is situated one and half miles due north
of the center of The town of La Harpe in
pasture owned by j. w. Cassell. The
ditch, gateway and cooking spot are still
plainly to be seen. On commanding
spot, bordering small stream half mile
northwest from the fort, number of
Indian mounds were situated many Of
which still remain. Their location was
on the highest land of anywhere near,
and at one time could afford a view of
the Mississippi river. The slabs doubt
less have marked the grave of some of La
Salles daring band. No similar stone
can be found with miles of the spot. In
vestigations will be made in the locality
for other relics.
