FluOrine Gaa.

Fluorine gas is of yellow color, with
smell resembling bleaching powder.
1t has not been liquefed, and still re-
mains gaseous at 40 dogs. Fahrenheit.
Every precaution has to be taken in
studying its action on other bodies, both
on account of its dangerously irritating
action on the eyes and mucous mem
brane of the operator and its marvellous
and wonderful energy, far exceeding
that of anything hitherto discovered.
There is hardly gas, liquid or solid,
that it does not attack, usually with the
greatest violence; in fact its mere con-
tact with any other substance is nearly
always signalized by the sudden evolu-
ton of intense heat and light and fierce
detonations. 1t almost realizes the fond
est dreams of the alchemists, and might
fifty be their long sought liquor, aka
hest, or universal solvent, for even dull,
inert flint takes fire instantly it is ex-
posed to the vapor, and the whole mass
becomes luminous with a grand mean
descence.
As supporter of combustion it leaves
oxygen far behind. Lampblack bursts
Immediately into brilliant flame and
gets red hot in a current of fuorine gas;
and charcoal is made to give an inter
esting exhibition of its porosity by first
filling its interstices with the gas and
then burning spontaneously with spar
king scintillations. The diamond, how
ever, is able to Withstand its action even
at high temperatures. Jour

Half century ago clerk in New
York city was wont to take down the
shutters of the store at precisely Q o'clock
in the morning. While he was taking
them down, rain or shine, q certain old
gentleman almost always passed by on
his way to his place of business. The
old gentleman smiled so benignantly
upon the young man that hearty and
familiar good morning" became nat
ural to both.
Month after month this mutual greet
Ing continued, until one morning the old
gentleman was missed and he never ap-
peared again. He was dead. Not long
sfterward the enterprising and faithful
clerk was waited upon by the admins
traitor Of the old mans estate and in
formed that his store and stock of goods
had been willed to him.
Attracted by the youths promptness
and fidelity, the old gentleman had in
quired into his character and circum-
stances and was satisfied that he could
leave his property to no one so likely to
make good use Of it as the clerk who
took down the shutters at just o'clock,
summer and winter.
Through this legacy the clerk was in
troduced into a profitable business at
once and he afterward became one Of
the most wealthy, benevolent and re-
spected merchants of the city.-Youth's
Companion.

the boys were pulled and they were

inflicted should make an impression

An Irishman Who Got n Million Dollars
and Knew What to Do with 1t.

An Irishman Who Got n Million Dollars
and Knew what to Do with 1t.
"The story Of Monte Cristo is general
ly regarded as highly improbable piece
of felton," said Montana man yester-
day, "but have in mind case of a
miner in our state who comes very near
furnishing parallel character. About
ten years ago l had in my employ an
Irishman, clever but totally unedu-
Gated fellow, who did odd jobs about my
place in Helena. You remember what
a feverish state that country was in
ABOUT that time over the rich finds in
gold in the country adjacent My Irish
man caught the fever, and one day as
tonished me by asking me to loan him
5000, with which he wanted to buy a
prospector's outfit. Well the fellow
begged so hard and money was so easy
anyhow that let him have it, He bought
him a mule and some tools and lit out
for the mountains alone.
"In about a month ne came back TO
Helena with that mule fairly stagger-
ing under a load of the richest of ore.
He hired three men, bought three more
mules, went back to the hills and struck
town shortly afterward with four more
mules loaded as the first one had been.
A representative Of an English syndi-
cate happened to be in Helena about
this time on the lookout for mining in
vestments. He saw the Irishman's little
pack train, took a sample of the ore, had
it assayed, went out and examined the
Il L. . L.,
proposition that mighty nearly scared
him to death. | was sitting in my
Office at the time, when in burst Mike in
a state of terrible excitement.
"'What do you think, sor, I'm offered
for me claim he gasped. 'One million
dollars and twinty-foive per cent. of the
net profits.
"Of course | told him to sell, which
he did. Iproved good investment for
all concerned, as the Englishmen have
taken millions Of dollars out of the
mine.
"But now comes my point. Instead
of committing the usual follies that poor
men indulge in when they become sud
denly very rich, Mike set about to get
the highest benefits Of his wealth. There
lived in Helena an English lady, widow
of an English officer, who was possessed
of a high degree Of culture and refine
ment, though in very needy circum-
stances. Well, sir, the first thing Mike
did was TO go TO this lady and bargain
for an education. He placed himself
absolutely under her dictation; lived in
the same house. and She taught him how
TO hold knife and fork and how to enter
and leave a room. Then followed the
rudiments of a literary education and a
year or so of travel.
Il met my Irish laborer in the parlor
of a London hotel about six months ago.
You never saw a more perfect gentle
man in your life. He has acquired a
classical education, is as easy and grace
full in manners as a courtier and above
all has the true instincts Of a man and
a gentleman in his heart. And could a
man be anything but a gentleman who
had evidently made it the dream of his
life to be one at his first opportunity

We've heard of a woman who said
she'd walk five miles to get bottle of
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That woman
had tried it. And it's a medicine which
makes itself felt in toning up the sys-
tenn and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun. Go to your
drug store, pay a dollar, get bottle
and try it-try a second, third if nee
essary. Before the third ones been
taken you'll know that there's rem
edy to help you. Then you'll keep on
and a cure III come. But if you
shouldn't feel the help, should be dis
appointed in the results-you'll find a
guarantee printed on the bottle-wrap-
per that'll get your money back for you
How many women are there who'd
rather have the money than health?
And "Favorite Prescription" produces
health. Wonder is that there's q
woman willing to suffer when there's a
guaranteed remedy in the nearest drug
store.
