A oNE-sIDED ACQUAINTANCE.

A respectable-looking colored man
of the old school was standing near
the family carriage on Fourth avenue
the other day. He was gazing at
the display of lace in the windows
when a seedv white man, who look
ed as if he was about to beg a dime,
approached and said:
How do you do, uncle"
"Howdy, sab !" responded the old
fellow, lifting his hat.
you were born in Kentucky, were
you not?"
Yes, sab"
Didn't you once belong to the
Hardins ?"
Eyes, sab"
Il used to know the Hardins, said
the tramp, getting ready to make
his request.
Yes, sab; dey wus lots a people
dat knew the Hahdins dat de
Hahdius didn't know" and he proud
ly opened the carriage door to allow
his mistress to enter Louisville

FIsHING IN MINNESOTA.

A correspondent Of the Milwaukee
Sentinel writes as follows from
Detroit, Mimi: This is the centre
of a heavily timbered country, elms
and oaks predominating, all cover
ed with luxurious foliage and carpet
ed with the greenest and most in
viting of grass The Indians are said
to have been very fond of this region,
and for hundred years the Chip
pewas and the Sioux fought numer-
Gus and bloody battles for its pos
session. 1t is easy to share in the
enthusiasm of the red men on this
subject, for the woods furnish game
in abundance and shelter from the
rigors of winter, while the lakes are
filled with fish of many kinds-bass,
pike, pickerel, etc.
"Extending southwest from De-
troit lake, the Pelican river connects
it with the Muskrat, Sally, Melissa,
Buck, Little Pelican, Big Pelican,
Fish, Lizzie and Lide lakes. They
are very near to each other, but the
entire chain named covers an extent
of country nearly forty miles in
length.

piscatorial activity, the morning be
ing cloudy and somewhat moist and
the noon warm and clear. colOred
man at the boat-house took me IN
charge, supplied boat and bait (min-
nows), and rowed me around one Of
the best fishing-grounds which it has
been my good fortune to visit. A
fair-sized black bass weighing three
pounds was the first trophy, and
was landed safely in the boat with
suitable net by a gentleman from
Africa. The next case brought even
greater returns, a wall-eyed pike OF
six pounds being cOaxed up from the
depths of fifteen feet of water, on the
edge of bar which has formed across
the upper part of the large and deep
lake A number of smaller specimens
of the same species of fish followed,
after which, the wind blowing a gale
and the anchor dragging, we moved
into a secluded bay, about quarter
of a mile in width, where the water
was calm but very deep. There we
secured number of pickerel, rang
ing in weight from six pounds down
to two. A few rock bass were taken
now and then, but no muscallonge.
The catch amounted to ten pickerel,
four pike, one black bass, and FIVE
rock bass; total weight of fifty-hve
pounds. The pike and the pickerel
made a fine fight, and afforded op-
portunitv for the exercise of reel and
landing-net. One pickerel jumped
half out of the water for the bait +;
he succeeded in getting it, too. The
water is deep and clear, and affords
ample room for playing the fish until
he becomes tired and is gathered in.
The high stage Of water, l may add,
renders fishing this month less than
usually productive.

HE WOULD STARVE FIRST.

At Perryville, on the Pennsylvania
railroad, a thin old man with a
mouth like a cruller climbed on
board a south-bound train, says the
New York Tribune. He carried an
umbrella tied up with shoestring,
and an old valise which looked as if
it had been with Lee at Appomattox.
He sat down on a cross seat near
the door, and beckoned to train
boy who was passing with basket
of sandwiches.

feller?"

''There amt no certainty about

FINE Art AT THE WORLDS FAIR.

1t was feared by many at trst that
the fine arts exhibit at the Worlds
fair would be, perhaps, its weakest
feature, because of the fact that art
in America is vet too young to have
produced many works OF great merit,
and because the exposition is to be
held so far from the great European
storehouses of art treasures that 1t
was believed doubtful if any consider
able number of them would be exhib-
tied. So far from this being the case,
however, it is now certain that the
art exhibit will be one of the most
complete and splendid that the vlsl-
tors to the exposition will have the
privilege of seeing. This is due to
several considerations. European
nations, as we'll as all others, are
taking an extraordinary interest IN
the exposition. There is commend
able rivalry among Ethose richest in
art productions in the matter OF
making a creditable exhibit. They
have come to recognize fully that the
United States is by far the best mar
ket in the world for the products of
the painter and the sculptor. Added
to these reasons are the very efficient
efforts of agents of the fair to enlist
the interest of foreign nations in tie
making of exhibits in all lines, and
particularly in the art division. Sup
plementing the good work done n
this direction by number OF expos
ition special commissioners, Chief
Ives of the fine arts department, has
made two trips to European nations,
with the result that from each one
an art exhibit of exceptional merit
is forthcoming

Nothing but the electricity"
That's just it. Every time you
walk across the floor toyour cabinet
for an instrument you get small
charge of electricity IN your body,
and naturally, as soon as you touch
the sensitive tooth Of the patient, the
delicate nerve receives the charge
through your instrlment-hence the
pain The reason why l felt no
shock in the laboratory was simply
because there was no carpet for you
to rub your feet on before you touch

Here we see that merely the want of
a carpet on the floor altered entirely
the conditions for a successful repetl-
ton of an experiment that had ap-
parently no connection with the

CARPET ELECTRICITY.

The exact similarity in conditions
attending the repetition of expert
ments is a great element of success.
One should be very careful before
coming to a conclusion that his
premises are correct. A striking ex-
ample of this was recently presented
to my notice.
A dentist came into my laboratory
the other day and said:
''See here, can't for the life of me
understand what is the matter with
me. All my patients complain that
when put an instrument into their
mouths it pains them fearfully. I've
thought it all over, and have come

WHAT A HEADACHE MEANS.

Headaches !

headaches
1t has been estimated that Is per
cent. of all the people who have
nervous trouble claim headache as
their principal symptom.
They are more apt to occur in
those who lead sedentary, studious,
indoor life, and particularly in those
who overwork mentally at some one
thing without variety.
And women have them oftenest.
They are without question the
most common concOmItantS OF Sys-
tenatic disturbance and disease.

who resides at Worcester street,
Cambridgeport, Mass. Mrs. Pres
colt says that she had merry Gus head
aches of the worse sort ever since she

have continued to have them but for
the discovery of Prof. Phelps of
Dartmouth college.

Thousands of women have had
the same experience, and hundreds OF
them have gratefully acknowledged
the benefits they have received from
this famous compound, in letters like
the above to Wells, Richardson &
Co. They owe a great debt to the
genius of Dartmouth's great pro-
lessor.

FASTEST TRAININ THE WORLD.

The fastest train IN the world leaves
New York on New York Central road
at nine O'Clock IN the summer for Al
bany. Not many days ago, just be-
fore the train pulled out, bystanders
noticed an iron box just in front
of the cylinder on the right side of
the engine. This box was about
three feet high, open at the top and
rear, and just about big enough to
hold man doubled up. Just as the
train started man adjusted a gauge
on the front Of the locomotive and,
doubling himself up, took his place
in the box 1t was Angus Sinclair,
theeditor ofLocomotive Engineering,
and his object was to find out the
locomotives power and steam dis
tribution, and to determine how
great speed it could make. AtAlbany
he was helped out, rather stiff from
his cramped position, but feeling all
right. Afterwards, when talking
about his ride, he said: Seventy
eight miles an hour is, | believe, the
fastest recorded time made on a
level by a locomotive drawing a
train, and we ran four miles at that
rate How did 1 know this? Be
cause | counted the revolutions ofthe
wheels. At the fastest the drivers
made $40 revolutions minute.
The counting was done by ear and
by feeling. To any but a trained ear
the sound of the smoke-stake of a
locomotive travelling faster than
sixty miles an hour is like continuous
blast, but an old engineer can detect
distinct pulsatiOns. 1t is an acquired
faculty and comes only with long ex-
perience. There are four puffs to
every revolutionOf the drivers, and
one of these a trihe louder than the
others. This serves to divide them
into tours. A trained engineer can
count these puffs, and, by grouping
them into twenties, which he checks
off on his fingers, arrive at the con-
clusion regarding the number of revo-
lutiOns in a minute. Then, the cir
cunference of the drivers being
known, it is a simple matter to reck-
on the rate of speed. Besides this,
there is a sort of shock through
out the locomotive on the down
stroke of the drivingrod which aids
in the counting. This counting has
become, through practice a me-
chanical act with me, and on my ride
yesterday l was counting, and look
ing after the machinery of the gauge,
and supplying the gauge with paper
on which the diagrams were to be
marked, at the same time. So you
see l had no time to think of being
nervous" The diagrams made from
the gauge showed the locomotive to
be almost perfect as regards dis
tribution of power. 1t developed
1900 horsepower and consumed
two and one-third pounds of coal pei
horsepower per hour. Mr.. Sinclair
is confident that with one car it
could run 100 miles an hour. The
locomotive, $40, is the record-break

No Reason for Laeeins-

Col. Levi K Fuller, the republican
candidate for governor OF Vermont,
is a Christian gentleman, a good
business man, a thorough republican

Railroads and Forests.
Wooden ties have been found by
the Pennsylvania railroad to be bet
ter than steel ties. They keep their
places and take hold of the ballast
more satisfactorily This is rather
unexpected, and it is not altogether
gratifying, because the perpetuatlon
of the wooden ties means an increased
and increasing demand on our forests.
But. of course, the best railroads will
always have the best of everything,
whether it be wood or metal.
