1t is mistake to consider Catarrh merely

Fooled by a Filibuster.


A. p. Hulse, late of the custom house,
tells Il good story of some fhbustering
that came under his notice years ago:
In 1859 Harry Maury, midshipman,
who had resigned from the service of
the United States government, was in
command of Il brig off Mobile bay. The
vessel was loaded with filibusters for
Walker and was overhauled by revenue
cutter. An officer went aboard in the
night with instructions to seize the YES
sci and bring her to Mobile. Maury,
who was equal to the emergency, pre-
pared himself by unshackling the anchor
from the chain and fastening lantern
to pole. When the vessel arrived at
Dog River bar it was hailed from the
cutter and ordered to come to.
Then came the order, "Let go your
anchor!" Maury let go. "Pay out
thirty fathoms of chain!" was the next
order. Maury ran the chain through
the hawser hole and over the rail back
on deck. He was ordered next to hoist
light, which he did by lighting the
lantern already affixed to the pole and
sticking the latter in the mud. He then,
when all was quiet, put off down the
bay, leaving the cutter watching the
light, which it did until morning.
In the meantime the officer from the
cutter, who was in charge of the tilibus-
tering vessel, was down in the cabin
playing cards. On arrival at the en-
trance of the harbor the officer was
tapped on the shoulder and told of where
they We're and asked if he wished to gu
ashore. A boat was at his service and
he took it, returning to the cutter in
time to share the chagrin of his mates

A Simple Fire Extinrui,hcr

1t is the opinion of experts that much
of the money which is spent by factories,
mills and stores ON the introduction of
pipes and valves for fire extinction might
be saved by the adoption of u much sim
pier and more efficient method. Both
sulphur and ammonia are well adapted
for eNtinguishing fire. Sulphur absorbs
oxygen and forms sulphuric acid, the
fumes of which are much heavier than
air. The quantity required would be
small, since seventy grammes of sulphur
can make one hundred cubic meters of
air inimical to combustion. An effective
sulphur extinguishing apparatus can be
made of a large iron box of moderate
depth and open at the top.
1t should be hinged at one end or side
to Il protected ceiling, and kept close
thereto by IL cord or wire connected with
wire or strap formed chiefly of cad
MUM fusible at 144 degs. Fahrenheit.
Inside the box is placed a considerable
quantity Of cotton wadding, we'll satur-
ated with powdered sulphur. On the
heat of all incipient fire melting the wire
OF strip, the box drops short distance;
by simple device the cotton wadding
is ignited at the same moment, and a
strong cloud of sulphurous acid gas is
instantly evolved, which extinguishes
the fire by rendering the air unfit for
conbustion.-New York Telegram.

Intellectual Men and or,,,a's Novels.

Intellectual Men anei Ouida's Novels.
Some time ago busy man of the
world asked Mr.. Charles A. Dana how
he managed to keep himself mentally
so fresh and vigorous. Mr.. Dana gave
several explanations, and among others
he admitted that he had taken to read
ing novels. Frequently Mr.. Dana is
seen riding on the elevated reading a
novel or a volume of short stories, and
the smile which plays on his face indi-
Gates how thoroughly he delights in such
pursuit. He is a great admirer of nov
elist whom Mr.. Howells would esteem
with horror, and that is Ouida; and it is
curious thing, perhaps, that among the
many readers of this popular writer in
this city there are to be numbered so
many vigorous intellects.
Roscoe Conkling anticipated a new
novel of Ouida's with as much pleasure
as Frenchman used to look for new
installment of Alexander Dumas ro-
mances, and he regarded Ouida's Under
Two Flags" as one of the best stories
which he had ever read, and even went
so far as to recommend that grim and
dignifed justice of the supreme court,
Samuel Blatchford, to read it if he
wanted a mental tonic. Congressman
Reed is a great admirer of Ouida, and
Joe Choate confesses to the pleasure he
has taken in reading the works of this
woman.
Novel reading has become Il passion
with many of our professional men, and
saw the other day the dignified presi-
dent of Yale college trotting across the
street to the Grand Central station with
q couple of novels under his arm and an
other one in his hand, with his fingers
inserted between the pages, as though
he had just been reading it and even be-
rudged the interruption which took
him from his hotel to the railway sta
tion.-E. j. Edwards in Philadelphia

Electricity That Kills

DR.. G. T. Chandler of the Columbia
School of Mines says: can interesting
misapprehension that exists in the minds
of a good many persons is concerning
the vital dangers that lurk in the pres
sure Of, say, 1000 volts. The newspapers
often tell us that a man has been killed
by such a pressure, whereas, in fact,
such pressure alone couldn't kill a
humming bird. 1 have frequently caught
in my hand sparks possessing an electro
motive force of 100000 volts without
feeling anything more than very slight
burn.
"The danger arises only when the
volts are re-enforced by q good many
amperes or currents, as when one takes
hold of a charged wire. Then one feels
a shock that is unmistakable, because
force of great many currents in the
wire suddenly decompose all the fluids
in the body. The salt in the blood at
once turns to chlorine gas, and the man
whose veins are charged with this deadly
poison cannot in reason be expected to
live 1oppD

New members should be elected to the

would be great acquisitions There is
one man now who persists in singing
first tenor in every song, and it would be
very painful if he didn't happen to strike
the right notes occasionally, entirely by
accident. Such things will happen
though.

A Youthful Yankees Ingenuity.

A boy we know had some chickens of
which lie had made pets. He and his
father went to their work early in the
morning, and while the rest Of the FAM
lily were away for the summer it became
question how the chickens were to be
fed with proper regularity.
The boy was equal to the occasion. He
took an alarm clock and fastened it Sc
curely to one side of the barn by means
Of two spikes. Next he hung a bucket
of corn to rafter and connected it with
the clock by a stout cord.
He wound up the alarm and set it at a
o'clock. At that hour the alarm went
off, wound up the string and tipped over
the bucket And so the chickens were
fed by clockwork. Cleveland Leader.

Cunning Siberian Natives.

When compelled to travel all night,
the Siberian natives always make a prac-
tice Of stopping just before sunrise and
allowing their dogs to go to sleep. They
argue that if the dog goes to sleep while
it is yet dark and wakes up in an hour
and finds the sun shining, he will suppose
that he has had a full nights rest, and will
travel all day without thinking of being
tired. One or even two hours stop at
any other time is perfectly useless, as
the dogs will be uncomfortable from
that time forward until they are per-
lnitted to take what they think full al
lowance of sleep.-St. Louis Republic

HERE is Il sort of lethargy in some
OF the movements OF this town which
seems to impede some of the organi-
cations necessary To the welfare of
business and public property. Such
is probably the reason Dickinson has,
at this advanced day of it's business
capabilities, no protection against
lire, and the property owners 80 on
from year to year paying rates of i'll
surance which are made oppressive
and excessive because Of this lack of
proper fire protection. Why can't
our business men, whose interests are
identical in a public move of this
kind, stimulate some life into this
important matter and encourage the
organization Of at least bucket and
ladder company! 1t would not cost
much to get equipments Of this kind,

Strawberries.

Why are they called straw berries?
Smart men differ on that. Some say it
is on account of their hollow, strawlike
STEMS Others think it is because they
have to be covered with straw or similar
protecting material in winter. The most
classical explanation that our Anglo
Saxon forefathers used to raise them and
they gave them this name because the
berries are generally on the ground, that
is, 'strewed" or "strawed" around.-Ex-
