Danger in nnnd1ing rnlnt.

The man who invents a method of
handling paint and lead mixtures
without danger of painters collie as a
result will reap a fortune. Some
men are not subject to this com
plant, but great numbers have been
forced to give up the painting bust
ness from their liability to sudden
attacks. Lead poisoning is one of
the most dangerous affections known
to the human race, and numbers of
paralytics are now in our hospitals
whose infrmity is due to the lead
contained in paints. st. Louis Globe

David oopperneld as a Child.

Dickens was never more successful
in painting a child than in David
Copperfeld; but David is not a speci-
men of commonplace childhood. 1t
is needful to remember this if we
are to appreciate him properly.
From the very first he has about
him the air of genius. All children,
unless they be abnormally dull and
stupid, are full of fancies. They
breathe the atmosphere of poetry.
They see wonders i'll the heavens
above and in the earth beneath.
Tragedy and comedy are ever chas-
ing each other over the stage of their
existence. Now they are in the
depths of despair; now it would
seem as if they and joy were insepa-
rable companions, National Review.

The eggs which are sold as a week
old in the summer come from Long
Island. That they are just as good
as those which are a day or two old
is shown perhaps by the fact that
occasionally chick is hatched from
some when they are on the way to
the city. 1t must be remembered, of
course, that twenty-one days are usu-
ally required for an egg to hatch.
When a chick peeps out Of one it
must be confessed that the egg must
have been fresh at some time. That
such eggs are more than one week
old seems a not altogether unreason-

It was a demure looking little

The request, or rather command,

heard it and they looked upon the

But the woman paid no heed 10 the

From two or three passengers came
the cry of "Shamel" but the man

himself and buried his face behind

An Eve for An Eve.

Bob Ford was shot dead on the 10th in
a saloon at the new mining town of
Creole. Col. Bob and Charley Ford,
under the direction of Governor Critten-
den. of Missouri, shot and killed Jesse
James on April is, 1882. They had been
implicated in a train robbery and fed to
Nashville, where they lived with Jesse
James for several months. EARLY in 1882
Jesse James and his family moved to st.
Joseph Mo-, where he lived under an
assumed name for several months. At
this time there was reward OF $4,000
offered by the State for the bandit, dead
or alive.
Bob Ford opened negotiations with
Governor Crittenden for the betrayal Of
the famous robber. He promised to bring
in Jesse James dead or alive for the re-
ward and a free pardon for himself and
his brother Charley. Knowing that it
was impossible to take James alive, he
continued professions OF friendship, and
on the day named shot him through the
back of the head in James own house,
while the outlaw was hanging picture.
Both the Fords were arrested promptly,
but released by the Governor. The alli-
ance between Crittenden and the Fords
killed the Governor as political factor,
and since then he has dropped into OBJ
ton caused big reaction in favor of the
James boys, and six months later Frank
James surrendered upon the promise Of
a fair trial, and was promptly acquitted
of murder and train robberies. The
Fords appeared in dime museum for
several months after the tragedy, but
eventually drifted West, where Charley
Ford two years ago died of consumption.
Bob Ford had lived in Denver for year
past, always carrying arms and looking
for trouble. Recently he went to the
town of Creede, where he met his death.

Scattering Millions in Virginia

The Chesapeake and Ohio Company's
financial plan, which was ratified at the
stockholders meeting in this city last
week, means a great deal for Richmond;
it means much for Virginia The new
mortgage of $70,00o,O00 provides for re-
firing the old liabilities of the company
and leaves $20,o0O,0OO to spend in Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and
Ohio on betterments. Virginia will get
a part of this amount.
One million dollars will go for the sin
gle item of locomotives. Something like
three-quarters of million will go to
Newport News, a large amount-between
one and two .millions-will be spent in
work in and around Richmond, and a
large amount will be required building a
double track between Hinton and Clifton
Forge.
The Norfolk and Western has done a

Look Out for the Now Money

All indications point to the fact that
money will be plenty this year. We all
know that But few will remember
that, by an act of Congress, with the
beginning of this year the half and
quarter dollars and the dimes that have
been in circulation for over half a cen
fury will begin to be retired and new
design for each piece will be substituted.
The new coins, it is stated by the direc-
tor of the mint, will be radically differ
ent from those now in use, and Of de-
sign that will at once be recognized as
handsomer than any coin ever issued in
this country. The design selected for
the new half dollar, quarter, and dime
will be classic head of Liberty, instead
of the sitting figure of her, on the adj
verse side of the coins, and the court of
arms of the United States on the re-
verse side. The act OF Congress authors
izing this change provides that it shall
not again be undertaken for twenty five
years.-ProdWce Trade Reporter.

Answer to Prayer.

A statement comes from Savannah,

ing effect:
Eighteen months ago Miss Emma
Evans was thrown from a carriage while
driving near Perry's mill, in Tattnall
county. Two of her ribs we're broken,
and her spine was SO badly injured that
the doctors pronounced her case incursa-
BILE. From then until yesterday she had
never walked step and at times suffer-
ed great pain and frightful nervous at
tacks Some months ago she was
brought to Savannah by her brother-in-
law in the hope that the physicians
might be able to do her some good.
Several experts were called in but they
decided that medicine could do nothing
except to ease her suffering, and that
she would never be able to use her lower
limbs. To-day Miss Evans, who has all
her life been very devout, was silently
praying that her health might be re
stored, when strange sensation came
over her, coupled with the idea that hel
prayer had been granted. So strong
was her faith that she essayed to rise
and finding herself enabled to do 81

one of the most remarkable on recort
and has caused great deal of interest.

Swallowed a Fork.

Dr. G.. E. Whittle, of Mount Pleasant,
Iowa, told st. Paul Pioneer Press re-
porter the other day about wonderful
operation he says he performed On fe-
male patient in the Iowa State Hospital
for the Insane. He found that the pa
tient was suffering terribly from what
he thought was tumor in the bowels.
He made an incision into the abdominal
cavity and discovered imbedded in the
intestines, with prongs turned down
ward, a large pewter fork, of the kind
that is generally used on the tables in
insane asylums. The fork was badly
corroded from the gastric juices and
covered with a tough gristle. The fork
lay at the mouth of what is known to
medical men as the iliocNcum valve,
having, no doubt, made a vain attempt
at passage. The upper intestines were
badly torn in some instances, rendering
it necessary to use thread and surgeons
needle. The fork was extracted and
when the patient came to herself suffi>
GENTLY to speak, she told the doctor
that about a week before, in a fit of
rage, she had swallowed the fork. Inas>
mach as the woman was suffering from
acute dementia, the doctor could not as
certain the sensations she had exper-
fenced previous to the time OF the opera
ton. The doctor stated that the woman
was recovering.
1t seems almost impossible that fork
conld successfully pass from the mouth
to the lower regions of the bowels, but
such is, nevertheless, fact in this re-
narkabls case. In order to reach the
place where it was found by the opera
tor, it was necessary for it to pass
through the @sophagus and pyloric
orifice, ana to anyone who has studied
anatomy such thing appears little
short of marvellous. DIR. Murphy recited
an instance which occurred ten years
ago in Keokuk, Iowa. A sleight of
hand man. in the alleged swallowing of
bar OF lead weighing a pound, acct
dentally swallowed it. The lead passed
down into the bowels, in the same man
ner as the fork in the case narrated
above. An operation was performed,
which proved successful, and the man
lived.

Great Rivers of tho World.

Geogra hers claim that there are 25
total length OF over 1000 miles. Of
these, two-the Mississippi, from the
source of the Missouri in the Rocky
Mountains to the Eads Jetties, and the
Amazon, from the souca Of the BENZ to
the Isle of Mara o-are over q, 900 miles
in length to be exact, the former is
1900 and the latter 4,029 miles from the
source to the IL ices where their waters
are mingled with those of the ocean.
Four claim a total length of over 5000
and under 1000 miles. They are the
Yenesei in ASH, length $3.50 miles the
Kiang, also in Asia, 1900 miles; the Nile,
Africa, aga, and the Hoangho, the
third monster Asian stream, which
is 3,040 miles from source to mouth.
Seven streams on the globe are under
5000 and over 1900 miles in length.
The Volga, in Russia, and the Amoor in
Asia, each heins 2,50) miles in length;
two are 1880 miles long-namely, the
Mackenzie, in British America, and the
Platte, in South America. The Rio
Bravo, in North America, the Rio Ma
deiro, in South America, and the Niger,
in Africa, are each 1890 miles from end
to end. The Arkansas river just comes
inside of this 1900 mile limit with n
length of 2,030 miles. Ten of the great
rivers of the world are over 1000 and
under 1900 miles in length. Three of
these are in North America namely
the Red River, 1870; Ohio, 1,4SO, and
the st. Lawrence, 1,450. South Americ.,
has also three in TIL S list. the Rio Negro,
1850; Orinoco, 1900, and the Uruguay,
100 miles long. Asia has three in the
same list, the Euphrates, 1900 miles in
length and the Tigris ana the Ganges,
each of which is about 300 miles in
length. In the group of great rivers the
st. Lawrence is the most remarkable
1t constitutes by far the largest body of
fresh water in the world. Including
lakes and streams, the st. Lawrence
covers about "a, 900 square miles the ag
gregate, 1t is estimated, represent not
less than 5000 s lid miles of water.

be better compreheoded, if not fully
realized, when We consider the figures of
