The GuilIotine and Its Inventor

One of sthe most widely disseminated
of popular errors is that DR.. Guillotin
invented the grim machine which still
bears his name. The real inventor of
this sinister contrivance was DR.. Louis,
well known medical man and perma-
nent secretary of the Partisan School Of
Medicine, or Academic de Medicine.
DR.. Guillotin, who died in 1914, ener-
getically but vainly protested against
the use of his name in connection with
this disagreeable subject-an evidence,
if one were wanted, of the great diff
Guilty there is of correcting a popular
error. Needless to say that the legend
that DR.. Guillotin was among the vic
Tins Of his friends ingenious and merci-
full instrument of destruction is wholly
apocryphal. He died at good old age,
and in his bed, surrounded by his chill
dren who, however, obtained permission
to change their name.-London Satur-

CHICAGO, June 21.-The silver states
held another cancus this afternoon, and
in view Of Gorman's refusal to admit

for the presidency, decided to cast their
votes for Governor ,Boies. A sub-com-

case the committee refused to recon-.

the appeal be taken to the convention.
There was much talk among the
delegates present Of throwing the sup
port of the silver states to the Peoples

should not give heed to the silver inter.

tives of the silver stateIs will wait on the

A wonderful Rattler.

IT once knew an old unreconstructed
Confederate in Arkansas who had a
colony of rattlesnakes that were trained
to play Dixie with their rattles to his
intense edification," said Colonel J. S.
Evans, of Meridian, Miss.
1.-THE man belonged to my regiment
during the war, and he had a rattle
snake that followed him all through the
Louisiana campaign like faithful dog.
He didn't join Ahe army until near the
close of the trouble, and he brought his
snake with him. When the reptile got
tired ON the march her master would
coil her around his neck and trudge
along with his pet until camp was
struck. AT night he put the snake in q
circle formed with a hair rope, so as to
keep her from crawling around to the
dread of other soldiers. During battle
that snake would dart in and out be-
tween the ranks of the fighting men un-
til she found her master, when she
would stick her tail straight into the air
and rattle off the first few bars of Dixie
with pronounced distinctness and the
most ecstatic delight. Her master had
Of course taught her to do it.
"After the war he took his snake back
to the Arkansas farm, and in little
while her progeny was wonderful. When
I went to see him fifteen years ago his
barnyard was given over to rattlesnakes,
and on a signal from him, by ringing a
bell, the reptiles would dash to the CEN
ter of the yard, and the clang Of Dixie
that the swift movements of their tails
produced was as deafening as it was in
spring. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Myths of Ancient Mariners.

Sailors yarns have always been cele-
brated for their imaginative character.
Those of today, however, have no oppor-
tunity for favorable comparison with the
stories told by mariners of antiquity.
The latter were able to count upon an
inexhaustible public credulity, nothing
which they could possibly invip being
too monstrous or unusual fof belief.
Their tales presumably did much. TO
augment the fears of the sea which were
commonly entertained in those days,
giving birth to many of the myths Of
ocean. They told about the strange land
inhabitated by lotos eaters, who fed upon
the fruit of forgetfulness and lost all
memory of country and friends. Hey
ond was the terrible land of the one eyed
giants, called Cyclops, they said, while
elsewhere were to be found the strange
islands where the enchantresses Circe
and Calypso lived. These islands were
in the narrow western Mediterranean
and beyond was the Cimmerian land,
where the people lived in darkness al
ways, inhabiting gloomy caves.
There were the Sirens also, whose song
was death. They were condemned to
die when man should pass them with
outstopping. Ulysses accomplished this
by putting wax in his ears So they
were changed into rocks of Sorrento,
where they still exist terror to mari
ners. The Sirens typify the surf, whose
harmonious murnurs are often the death
music Of the sailor. In like manner the
Cyclops represent the Storm Fiend, as
their names show. Rrontes is the roll
Steropes the flash and Argis the white
ness of lightning.
Likewise the snaky Gordons are
thought to be figurative representations
of the white capped and angry waves
Not less to be feared were the dreadful
Symplegades-huge moving rocks which
were tabled to crush ships passing be
tween them. 1t has been surmised thai
the tradition respecting these rocks was
derived from the floating icebergs, which
during the glacial period must have
issued from the Black sea; but this seems
hardly likely.-W Washington Star

why MIR. woodhead Was Absent.

There was once Mr.. Woodhead who
got into parliament in 1885 for the Spen
valley division of Yorkshire Mr.. La
bonchere moved to abolish the house of
lords, and Mr.. Woodhead was absent
from the division. Spen valley demand
led .an explanation from their errant
member, and got it in the form of let
ter setting forth that it was all Mr.. La
bouehere's fault, who spoke SO flippantly
son this important occasion. that Mr..
Woodhead, exhausted with long days
work, seized the opportunity to 60 home
to his tea, and when he returned the di-
visionswas over. Owing to the amusing
character of this explanation, coupled
with the honorable gentleman's unfortu-
nate narle, this incident attracted a good
deal Of notice at the time. London Cor.

Inhuence Of Superstition.

When we stop to think, we wonder
how real the silly superstitions, in which
nobody believes, are in their influence
upon our actions. We hesitate to start
on a journey on Friday; we walk out in
the mud rather than go under ladder;
we don't give knives OF sharp instru-
ments to our friends, and we don't do a
hundred things that we might, all be-
cause, though we are not superstitious,
we would rather not do what suggests
anything disagreeable. Harper's Bazaar.

A Proposition Made for Tsmmsny TO

CHICAGO, June 21.-Tamnany helG Q
gloomy meeting this morning. Gov
ernor Flower of New York said after 1t
was over that Hills friends were ready
to cast their votes for Democrat VINO

consent that Hills name be not mem
toned In the convention II such man
could be found. If the friends Of Boiee,
German or Morrison could chow That
they could carry New York, Tammany

HILL TO BE DROPPED.
At New York caucus, before the
opening OF the convention, it was pro-
posed that Hills name should not be
presented, and that the full strength OF
the anti-C Cleveland forces be concentrat-
ed on Boies. 1t is understood that the
leader Mr.. Croker, opposed this, and
asked the caucus to wait till Hill had
been directly heard from.
This was finally agreed to, and COM
mittee was appointed to zee the Iowa
and Maryland delegations and invite
them to another conference this even
ing. 1t now seems probable that Hill's
name will not be presented, and that
New York's aeventy-two votes will 60 to
Boics on first ballot.

things his friends have been authorized

will fight to the end.

Germany's New Twin Guns.

The German emperor was present at
asome experiments conducted at Meppen,
with new twin gun against armor
plates. The idea is that by firing the
guns simultaneously at one object, the
crushing force Of the two projectiles will
be such that the stoutest arnlor must
give way before such a shock. In or
der that this may really happen, it is
obviously necessary that, in the first
place, the explosion in each gun should
be effected at the same fraction of a Sec
ond, that the charges should be exactly
equal and burn exactly the Same time,
that the shots should be of exactly the
same weight and that they should reach
the object aimed at simultaneously. Such
accuracy is extremely difficult to COM
pass. and it is believed that very con-
siderable trouble will be necessary be-
fore the object in view can be realized.

DIET AND HEALTH.

A Man Could Live Hardly Longer Than
Week on Asparagus Alone.
Especial interest attaches to DR.. Sails
bury's food experiments. The half dozen
sturdy fellows whom he put on a diet Of
baked beans and coffee exclusively, all
showed symptoms Of locomctor ataxia,
OF progressive paralysis, on the tenth
day, and by the sixteenth day not one Of
them could walk straight without sup
port; all had chronic diarrhea, heart
palpitation and oppressed breathing.
Four hearty, we'll men were put on
oatmeal porridgc-seasoned with butter,
pepper and salt--with pint of coffee
containing sugar and milk at each meal.
Constipation, fatulence, headache and
dizziness werc affecting them all on the
eighth day. In two days more these con-
ditions had become violent; exertion pro-
duced heart palpitation, and they were
full of wandering pains, with prickling
in feet and hands.
These disorders grew more intense and
painful-with neuralgia induced in three
cases-until from the twenty to the
twenty day, when diarrhea set in,
and the record is full Of such entries as
"Eyes wild, hearing impaired, head con-
fused, memory poor, legs and feet numb,
quite deaf and listless, heart palpitates
and very Irregular" up to the thirtieth
day, when it was deemed imprudent and
unsafe to carry the experiments further,
and in four days more, by meat diet
and hot water, the men were restored to
normal health. It may be well to OBJ
serve here that in all cases men expert
mented upon were as thoroughly and
quickly cured of their abnormal condi-
tions by those means.
Violent chronic diarrhea, such as often
prevails in armies and is known as
"casnp diarrhea," was produced in three

clusively upon army biscuit in from nine.

ELEVATOR CO., VI
CLARK s. SMART.

Soon after the assignment of
Clark & Smart, the Northern Dako-
ia Elevator Co., commenced suit in
the district court asking that they be
made preferred creditors and be
paid their claim in full without re-
gard to the general creditors. The
elevator Co.. claims they were not
general depositors, but as they de-
posted their money for the special
purpose of paying wheat tickets and
paid Clark & Smart for doing the
work, the money never became the
money of Clark & Smart, and that
they should recover it in full. The
case was tried before Judge Rose at
the last fall term of court. Judge
Rose held that the position taken by
