The Gold Cure Ia verv ola.

The precious metal has been employed
both externally and internally, in the
metallic state, in solution and by SYM
pathy, for great variety of the ills that
flesh is heir to, for over 2 1000 years. The
train of thought which led the ancients
to employ this highly priced material
can be well told in the quaint language
of the distinguished Dutch physician and
chemist, Hermann Boerhaave; writing
about 1725, he says: "The alchemists
viii have this metal contain know not
what radical balm Of life capable of re-
storing health and continuing it to the
longest period.
what led the early physicians to
imagine such wonderful virtue in gold
was that they perceived certain qualities
therein which they fancied must be
conveyed thereby into the body; gold,
for instance, is not capable of being de-
stroyed; hence they concluded 1t must
be very proper to preserve animal sub
stances and save them from putrefac-
ton, which is method of reasoning
very much like that of some faneiful
physicians who sought for an assuaging
remedy in the blood of an ass ear By
reason the ass is very calm beastr-

PRICE ONE CENT
A Clever Defense.

Sea captains have many adventures,
and the stories of their wonderful es-
capes seldom lose by repetition. Many
years ago pirates CT sed up and down
the English channel 70 the great peril OF
the merchantmen. The story is.told OF
Captain Davis. who was noted for his
quick wit as well as for his skill in navi-
CATION, that he was returning from Ire
land with cargo consisting mainly of
butter.
de had not been out very long when
pirate was seen coming down upon him.
In vain all sails We're spread; every mo-
ment brought the pirate nearer.
The men were at their wits end, but
the captain knew a trick or two. He
ordered his men to take of their boots
and stockings, and directed that q score
of butter barrels DO brought on deck.
In q few minutes the barrels had been
knocked to pieces, and the butter was
thickly spread all over the deck and out
side the ship. Not rope nor spar
that was not slippery. Even without
their boots and stockings the sailors
could scarcely keep on their legs.
On came the pirate, not dreaming how
smoothly he was to be received. Cap
tain Davis assumed an air of submission
and allowed the enemy to come along
side quietly.
But lol when they jumped over, fully
armed, with pistol In one hand and
sword in the other. they slipped about
and tumbled over each other on the but
tered deck like so many rats.
One fellow shot head foremost down
into the cabin, where he was imme-
diately set upon by the boy; another
slid across the deck and shot out into
the sea by an opposite porthole.
Not one of them could stand on his
feet, and as pirates are generally super
stitious, an idea seized them that the
ship was possessed of the devil. They
hurried back into their own vessel, cast
loose, and Captain Davis got safely into
port at the expense of few pounds of
butter. Youths Companion.

Among Chicago's industries is q fac
tory where the manufacture of shoes for

Out Of five neat black boxes a repre-
sentative of the firm yesterday took as
many different sizes, These were adults
and children's shoes. The material cor
responds with the purpose of their use.
The shoes are certainly nice to took at.
The soles are cut out of pasteboard and
are covered with grained paper. The
uppers are a combination of quilted
satin and crochet work. A ribbon, in
serted at the top and tied in neat bow
knot, holds the shoe to the foot.
mems shoes are always black" it
was said. Occasionally we turn out
lot of brown ones. We have had special
orders for mems white shoes, but only
in few instances. Shoes for women
and children are always white. They
are not expensive; five to fifteen dollars
will purchase dozen pairs"

Catching Boas.

"To catch boa constructor is q diff
cult and dangerous task" says man
who makes it his business to capture
wild animals and reptiles for menagerie
purposes. at is accomplished by laby-
rinthian tangle, embracing sixty square
feet of ground. The labyrinth is made
by joining together, end on end, pieces
of mating. This web is eight feet high
usually, and placed SO that the opposing
walls will be two feet apart. All sorts
of crisscross and diverging combinations
are made with the matting-it is sup
ported here and there by stakes-making,
when it is set, a geometrical puzzle that
might well challenge the ingenuity Of
man.
1.-THE trap is baited with live pig,
which is placed in pen in the corner Of
the labyrinth. By and by along comes
the boa constructor. 1t is easy enough
to get in. He scents the prey; he is
very hungry; the pig is devoured. and
here the boa comes to grief. For hours
he tries to release himself, but finally
he grows tired and stretches himself out
for nap Then is our time. We open
the labyrinth and catch him. Golden

1t is q well known fact that milk ia
especially apt to sour during the preva-
lence of q thunderstorm, and from this
it has been surmised that the electric
discharge held some mysterious sway
over the tactical fluid. An Italian ex-
perimenter, one Professor q. Tolomei.
has been making trials of various sorts.
the object being to throw some light ON
electric influence over milk molecules.
In his first experience he passed an cleo
trio discharge from Holtx machine be-
tween two balls of platinum hanging
two inches apart in a bottle containing
a quart of fresh milk; secondly, by send
ing current between two strips of
platinum at the bottom of V tube
filed with the same fluid; thirdly, by
subjecting milk in a test tube to the &C
ton of strong battery current through
a silk covered copper wire wound spi-
rally around the tube.
In each one of these experiments,
which were as thorough as any lover of
science could wish, it was proved that
acidulation of the milk was delayed in
stead of hastened, as had been expected.
Three equal portions of milk from the
same milking thus treated began to
grow acid on the seventh, the ninth and
the sixth days, respectively, while other
portions of Ii which had not been treated
with electricity was rankly acid ON the
evening Of the third day. Having thus
disproved the popular theory of lightning
being the direct cause of the acidiilca-
tion of milk, Professor Tolomei tried
ozone and found therein the mystic
agent of milk souring. In his second
trial of ozone he brought the surface of
a quantity of milk close to the two balls
of the machine used, and the fluid al
most instantly became acid in conse-
quence.
Here at last mystery that has puz-
zled professors and peasants alike has
been made plain.-St. Louis Republic.

where vessels Capsize Frequently.

The cspsizing of vessel tied up to q
pier is common enough in the Bay of
Fundy and its tributary streams. The
usual rise and fall of the tide along that
bay is from forty to fifty feet, and high
tides sometimes exceed sixty feet. With
the fall of the tide all craft are left
high, but by no means dry, with an area
of chocolate colQyed mud all about them.
This mud is too shifting to hold ves-
sci in safety, so each pier is provided
with one or more strong wood frames
called shoes, fixed at the bottom Of the
stream or bay.
Upon these shoes all vessels rest at
low tide. 1t frequently happens, how
ever, that a vessel does not get her shoe
snugly on, so to speak, and If q strong
wind comes when she is thus Ill bal
anced, over she goes into the mud, to be
buried forty feet under the next rising
tide.-New York Sun.

regarded as a great family misfortune.

They Regard It Interfering with the
Intention of the Creator.
Much has been written of the peculi-
arities and eccentricities of the Chinese,
but it is not generally known that the
people of the Celestial empire will not
rescue one another from accidental
death.
At q fire in San Francisco several
years ago six Chinese were imprisoned
in a room BY three half inch iron bars,
which could easily have been broken
away. There were two or three ladders
in the neighborhood which could have
been placed at the windows and the IN
fortunates easily rescued from a horri-
BILE death. There We're hundreds of
their countrymen looking on at their
frantic efforts to escape. Yet they of
