rho Raleful East Wind.

That wind from any one of the four
cardinal or intermediate points should
have more depressing effect upon the
human system than that from any or
all of the other points seems like sheer
est nonsense. In these days, however,
we cannot forego scientific testimony.
DIR. Richards says: THAT all nervous
conditions in which, for want of a
more correct term, we say the nervous
tone is lowered, are much intensified
by the east wind. Indeed, the special
action of this peculiar wind is TO pro
duce want Of tone, or debility Under
its influence almost all sick persons say
they are depressed; they do not com
plain OF reduced appetite nor Of pain
intensified, but they declare that they
are rendered PROSTATE both In mind
and body. In brief, II a single word

Sorting and Cleaning Wool.

The wool comes into the mill dirty,
greasy, bury, sometimes washed by
the farmer, but generally just as it is
sheared from the sheep, filthy an dun
wholesome thing, giving little sign of
the beautiful, white and flossy sub
stance into which it is soon converted.
1t must first be sorted each fleece con
tanning from six to eight qualities of
sorts, which the careful manufacturer
separates, devoting each quality to the
purpose for which it is best suited. No
skill in carding, spinning weaving or
finishing can possibly produce soft or
fine piece of goods from coarse hard
fiber.
When a wooden thread is to be spun to
the length of Is, 800 yards to a pound,
or In the case of q worsted thread
to twice that number of yards to the
pound, everything depends upon care
in the selection OF the fleece and in the
sorting The sorts are impregnated
with greasy substance called the yolk
or suint, caused by the animal secre-
tions and the perspiration Of the skin,
a compound Of potash and animal fat,
which must be completely eradicated
The elimination of the yolk, dirt and
foreign substances common to all
woods results in a shrinkage of from
so to 20 per cent s.. N. ID. North in

IL vas a brakeman on the Harlem
road before | entered the ministry"
said well known Brooklyn preacher
to me, but it was only for a little
while. 1t proved to be u horrible call
ing. 1t was only few days after |
had been installed in my position when
received the first shock to my nerves.
We were just OH the point of crossing a
small bridge that spanned a shallow
stream of water when | heard the whis-
tie blown for down brakes.
81 put on the brake as hard as
could and then looked ahead of the
train. ] was just in time to see a man
running for his life across the bridge on
narrow board footway The train
was slowly losing its momentum, but
it was too late to save the man from
death, for Just as he had about reached
place of safety the engine hit him
and he was knocked over into the
water.
"When the train had been stopped
we went down and recovered the poor
fellows corpse. His skull had been
cleanly split in two and the water had
washed out his brains. The body was
placed in the baggage car, on which l
worked, and was forced to gaze upon
the ghastly spectacle until we reached
the next station, where the dead man
was turned over to the authorities.
'As if that were not enough to pro-
duce lasting horrible impression upon
my mind, | received another and per
haps more frightful shock two weeks
later. 1t was on the same bridge.
again heard the dreaded signal for
down brakes This time put all the
strength could command into my eff
fort and keyed the brake up to the last
notch | was able to force it to. The
next instant the chain broke. and the
train, which was gradually being
halted, bounded forward with new inn
petus and another man was killed.
''It seems that he had tried to save
himself by clasping his hands over one
of the ties and hanging below the train
until it had passed. He had succeeded
in locking his hands around the timber,
but did not have time to duck his head
before the cowcatcher struck his neck,
cut off his head close to the shoulders
and tossed it into the water When we
went back to recover the body we
found, to our surprise, the headless
corpse of the man with its hands still
linked in the grip of death around the
railroad tie.

SECOND ROW.-Dickman and son,
VINO figured in a Salem justice court
last week had another row Monday
at 10 o'clock with young White
man assisted by one Doran. Young
Dickman is badly scratched and
reached town at p, m. TO pour his
tale of woe in the officers ear. He
was sent home to ascertain If
his father was still on earth. The
senior Dickman came to Salem
Tuesday morning badly used up.
1t seems a sawmill on the land in
question is owned by Russell & Co.,
and run by Doran, who got logs OF
Dickman. Dickman urged payment
and received q terrible threshing,
1t almost appears as if there was a
conspiracy to take a lot of timber of
this mans land and run him of
besides. Dickman will attach
property of Doran for balance due
him. Mr.. Dickman says if the land
he is on does not belong to him he
will readily give it up. A warrant
has been issued for the men who
attacked him and Deputy Sheriff
Vain has gone to make the arrests.
The old man and his son have been
shamefully abused and it is time
the violent individuals who have
made the lives of these two simple
minded Germans a burden were ar
rested.
