Goat Whey,

Apropos of an attempt just now TO re-.
vive belief in the curative properties of
goat whey, London journal notes that
the remedy was held in great esteem in
Scotland in the last century. In the an
nails of the Duff family, the Lord Fife of
the day, under date June %, 1890, records

as / intend to drink the goat whey" On
April II, 1901, he writes: 1--WE were till l
o'clock this morning in the house of lords.

whey for ten days" Similar entries are
found under other dates; for this good lord
died believer in goat whey. Sir Walter
Scott, in 'The Heart of Midlothian" )" makes
reference to the health restoring virtues
of goat whey, indicating confidence in this
cure, which was pretty general in his day.

Ingenious Application of ELECTRICITY.

An electric insect killer is a recent nov
city in that line. 1t is formed by a cover
Of wire gauze, which is placed over
lighted candle. The gau2e is in an elec-
trio circuit, and when the insects touch it
they are killed. An ingenious application
Of electricity for ventilation has been
brought out in France. An electric fan
furnishes the current of air, which can be
cooled by means Of ice or other cooling
agent. If hot air is required, electricity is
sent through a series of meshes of wire,
whose high resistance causes it to become
hot, and the air passing through these is
given the heat required.

How a Spider Ruined a Nation.

When the French q~uartermaster, Dis
%jonval, was confined in prison by the
Dutch at Utrecht he sought to beguile
the tedium of his prison life by atten-
lively studying the habits of the spiders
which f~requented his cell, and eight
years of Imprisonment gave him leisure
to be well versed in their ways. In De-
cember of 1894 the French army, on
whose victory over the Dutch depended
Disjonval's restoration to liberty, were
in Holland, and the victory seemed GER
tain If the frost, which was then of un-
precedented severity, continued.
The Dutch ENJOYS had failed to ne
gotiate a peace, and Holland was de-
spairing when the frost suddenly broke.
The Dutch were now exulting, and the
French generals prepared to retreat
but the spiders of Disjonval's cell fore
warned him that the thaw would be Of
short duration, and he knew that hi:
little insect weather monitor never de
ceived him. Accordingly he contrived
to communicate his weather knowledge
to the army of his c~ountrymen and its
generals, who duly estimated his Obs
j~onvals) character, relied upon his as
surance hat within a few days the
waters would again be frozen so as to be
passable to the French troops.
They delayed their retreat; within
twelve days a sharp freeze set in, and
the French army triumphed. Disjonval
was released, and a spider had brought
ruin to the Dutch nation.-St. Louis
Republic.

ABSOLUTELY PURE


at is very difficult" said a business
man, ''to make people understand hat
one can't always employ young men
starting in life just to please our friends
who recommend them to US. It's bad
business policy to employ more men
than one needs. In these days of close
competition, no business man can afford
to spend money unwisely. A certain
volume of business justifies and demands
a certain expenditure in salaries to carry
on that business. 1t isn't fair to US to
ask us to increase our salary list when
there is no excuse for so doing. 1t isn't
fair to our trusted and efficient employees
to ask us to employ new men and yet
maintain our salary list. We can do
this only in two ways. One is to pare
off enough from the salaries of the old
men to provide salaries for the new men.
Another is to discharge old men to make
room for the new. You see that both
plans are out of the question, other
things being equal.
people who send promiscuous letters
of recommendation often cause US a
great deal of embarrassment. One likes
to please a friend, and yet one cannot
always, in justice to himself or others,
do this. And have you ever noticed
how many of these letters of introduc-
ton describe the bearers of them as bril-
liant young men, who will prove OF
value to those who employ them2 Hard
ly one man in a thousand of those de-
scribed in this way fulflls the promises
made for him. Do those who write such
letters ever consider that if a big bust
ness house employed all the men who
brought letters of recommendation to
the firm it would be overwhelmed with
employees within a year and driven into
bankruptcy in two years by its stupen-
dous salary list?-New York Tribune.

People would believe her statement of the
case without a moments hesitation, but
for one thing-she first posed in France
as a widow, but it soon appeared that her
husband was living. and he now brings
suit for divorce. r
Nellie Mitchell was born at Melbourne,
Australia, May 10. 1865, and toe her stage
name from her birthplace. At an early
age she developed a rare capacity for song,
but her father was emphatic In opposition
to an operatic career, and hastened her
marriage to Captain Charles Nesbit Fran
els Armstrong. A few years later, and
still but twenty-five years old, she ap-
peared in Paris as al opera singer, and
soon took the city by storm. Her greatest
triumpbs were in "Rigoletto," Margue-
rite in Faust" and as Ophelia.
The Duke of Orleans saw her and there
after followed her everywhere. He even
went to Paris disguised as n servant in her
for he was then forbidden to
enter France. In eastern Europe the two
wandered together in many out of the way
villages. Captain Armstrong was also
around-part of the time-and when
Mime. Melba arrived in London a few
days ago she was served with the papers
in a suit for divorce. Her reply is terrific.
She alleges all sorts of cruelty short of
actual murder, and one attempt at that.
Just before her child was born, she says,
he knocked her down with his fist. Two
months after its birth he corrected her
with a coach whip. At Brussels he chased
her all around the house with a razor. All
she asks is to be rid of him and nave the
custody of her boy. Nine. Melba, say
the Paris reporters, is tall and a magnif-
cent brunette, with bright, caressing black
eyes, and a person as lovely as her voice is
sweet" As for the duke-well, if he were
not a duke he could earn a living as a
waiter, ms his manners are genteel, and
that's the best any one has to say for him.

None Of the great sensational novelists,
such as Sue, Gaboriau, Poe, Hoffman and
Reynolds, ever dreamed of Offering as
fiction such terrible details of suicide as
are here set down as fact. The tragedies
written of simply go to prove once more
that truth can distance in intensity and
interest the widest flights Of human i'm
agination.
Lester n. Straw lived at st. Louis. He
had been married for eight years and was
the. father of two children. After serving
for some time as a Pinkerton detective he
entered the employment OF the Associated
Charities society as an investigator, and in
fact held that position at the time of his
death. His superiors knew that his home
life was not a happy one, and sympathized
with him, for he was faithful, industrious
and sober. The other day he failed to re
port for duty, and later it was learned that
he had committed suicide.
