Persons travelling by railway are sub
ject to continued annoyance from the
flying cinders. On getting into the
eyes they are not only painful for the
moment, but are often the cause Of
long suffering, that ends in a total loss
of sight. A very simple and effective
cure is within the reach of everyone,
and would prevent much suffering
and expense were it generally known.
1t is simply m or two grains of flax
seed. These may be placed in the eye
without injury or pain to that deli
cate organ, and shortly they begin to
swell and dissolve a glutinous sub
stance that covers the ball Of the eye,
enveloping any foreign substance that
may be in it. The irritation Of cut
ting the membrane is thus prevented
and the annoyance may 500 he wash
ed out. A dozen of these grains
slowed away in the vest pocket may
prove, in an emergency, worth their
number in gold.

Hermann's Latest Work.

New York Dispatch: Prof. Her.
mann exhibited a new trick which he
gives the suggestive name Of "The
Escape from Sing Sing at the Grand
opera house yesterday afternoon, be-
fore some friends and newspaper men.
When the curtain went up two ma
hogany, cages, raised on legs, were
standing in the center of the stage.
After showing that he could walk en-
tirely around each Of the cages and
that there was apparently no connec-
ton from either above or below, an
assistant entered clad in the typical
prison stripes. After a mock struggle
this individual, whom Prof. Hermann
introduced as Roehl, was placed in
n OF the cages. Curtains on the in
side were drawn down all around and
the doors we're locked. The professor
fired a pistol shot, and down the aisle
from the frontof the house came run
ming the man whom a moment before
had been seen locked in the cage.
which remained closed a. before. The
doors were now opened, and crouching
In n corner was a man of entirely
different appearance and build from
the prisoner, dressed in the uniform
OF a guard. The prisoner was now
hustled into the other cage and lock-
ed in as before. The first cage was
then locked, and by means Of a block
and tackle hoisted several feet from
the stage. Another shot from the
pistol. and, presto, the curtains in the
hanging cage flew UP and there be-
hind the bars stood the prisoner. The
other cage-the n in which the pris-
oner had been placed-was at the
same moment opened by the professor
and was empty. The trick is a most
effective one ard Is sufficiently mysti-
flying to keep the public guessing for
a long time TO come.

CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP.
A Pittsburg Man Ac~cidently Discharges a
Gun Set for Thieves.

ouh SCI AoE sbASfOss
Foreman James II. Uptegraf, of
the Keystone Manufacturing and
Supply company, Of Pittsburg,' set a
heavily loaded spring gun for thieves,
who for some time past have been
stealing brass castings and scraps.
When he came to open the works one
morning he inadvertently ran into
his own trap, and the old musket dis
charged its load into his right leg,
below the knee, which was nearly
torn from his body, and had TO be
amputated shortly afterward. The
firm had been losing hundreds CT
dollars, worth of brass, while every
effort to detect the thieves had
proved futile. This led Uptegraf to
exercise his ingenuity IN inventing
this internal machine, which was set
on a box in the middle of the foundry
department, and so arranged with
strings attached to its trigger and
running in various directions, that
anyone entering would trip on the
string and discharge the gun at their
legs. He had set the gun every
night for some weeks past. On this
morning in his haste to reach the
Office and open mp he forgot all about
the trap, and started hurriedly TO
take a short cut across the foundry
floor, tripping or n Of the strings
and firing the gun. 1t happened at
6:45, and for half an hour he lay
there alone and helpless, w~eltering
in his own blood. William Palmer
in passing the building heard Upte-
CRAFTS groans, and getting inside
found him in a terrible condition.
Assistance was summoned, and he
was taken TO the West Pennsylvania
hospital, where his leg was ampu-
tated. He had lost so much blood be-
fore being found that his condition is
very critical. He has a wife and
family.

Fu rther Confirmation Of Its Value ms an
Early Version Of Scripture.

EarIy keEston ok SSFsptuhN'
New York Herald: DIR. Isaac II.
Hall, OF the Metropolitan Museum Of
Art, says in regard to the Syriac man
uscript Of the Gospels, discovered In
the Convent of St. Catherine, on
Mount Sinai, that the present dis
coyery ranks next in importance to
that of Prof. TischendOrf, OF Leipsic,
whose finding Of the New Testament
and parts of the Old in the same con-
vent in 1874, and again in 1859, Is re-
garded by scholars as the greatest
literary discovery Of the present CEN
tury.
A translation of the new Codex will
soon be made public, but it is too
early to determine what will be the
effect on the textual criticism Of the
New Testament. The text varies
much from that Of the Cureton man
uscript, if full of archaisms, free from
many Cureton CLOSES, and lacks many
or the western elements" visible In
the Cureton text.
The new Palimpsest comprises 356
pages, 800 being devoted to the Cos
pels. The superficial or upper writ
ing under which the new version now
appears, is the history Of the lives eff
various female saints. l~Iydro-sul-
phuret of ammonia was used TO en-
velop the under writing. Steam was
used to separate the leaves. The con
vent where the manuscript was found
is encompassed by high, fortified
walls, dating back to the time Of the
Emperor J%ustinian. The books are
kept in chests and are gnawed by mice
and distigured by dust.

In more respect than n our
Worlds Fair is the greatest that ever
was. 1t is the first international
exposition in history in which women
took active official part in the
management and the first n in
which the work Of women has Is
sumed such proportions. Expresses
and queens have been warmly in
terested in the Woman's building at
the fair and have sent from their
COUNTRIES specimens Of all the kinds
of the distinctive work of women.
Thus on a broad scale attention will
be attracted to woman as an in
dustrial factor. This was the espec-
ial idea of Mrs. Bertha Honore
Palmer and her coadjutators. Then,
too, there was the wemen's own cere-
monial opening Of their worlds fair.
Not even the president was called on
for that. Tho ladies made their own
speeches. The fact that addresses
were made on this occasion by titled
ladies from Spain, Italy, Great
Britain and Russia shows how deeply
the women OF all nations are az
present interested In the question OF
women's wage earning work. The
display at the fair cannot do other
wise than have beneficial influence
In bringing up the pay Of women
