THIS WAS OUT IN COLORADO.
Where Workmeu Tried to Use n Froxe
Snake Piece of Shafting.

In the fall of 1886 | was sent from an
eastern firm TO Colorado to superin-
tend the erection OF 4 sawmill TO Sc
place an old one which was destroyed
by fire, says writer in the Cincinnati
Tribune. Everything went on nicely
and the mill was in running order in
about two weeks with the exception of
a countershaft to run the planer aud
hatcher, which was missing. To send
to the factory would take not less than
two weeks, and we came to the con-
clusion TO cut piece off the old line
shaft and turn it up ourselves, as we
had an old lathe standing next to the
boiler and engine.
The weather of the last month was
dry and very warm, but at sunset that
day heavy snowstorm set i'll and the
thermometer dropped to zero. The
next morning we sent our engineer to
get one of those old line shafts, but
found them covered with snow and
ice. At last he succeeded in getting
hold of piece about eight feet long.
1t measured about two inches in diam
eter, somewhat thicker in the center
and tapercd at one end. We needed
only five feet, so we sent for q sled0e
and chisel 10 cut off the right length.
One stroke and of lew this thin part.
| told the men this kind of iron would
not do, but the engineer said all iron
would break like this in zero weather;
it soon would be all right if it came in
to the lathe next to the boiler. He
took the shaft over to the wise and
centered same, and from there to the
lotl,o bo Ctna1, in NncittHsD
and tried to turn it to the right side.
but all in vain. AS said above, the
lathe was located near the boiler, a
warm place, the ice had melted during
the time and the shaft got softer and
softer. and the tool would not cut at
all.
At this moment the proprietor of the
place stepped in, and, seeing his man
running the lathe, asked him what he
was going to do. Il am trying to
turn a shaft for our planer. but never
saw piece of iron like this. First it
was as hard as glass, but as soon as it
got warm it turned soft, and is getting

The proprietor was an old man and
had for many years lived in Colorado,
and one glance convinced him that his
engineer had taken a frozen rattle
snake for a piece of iron, cut off the
tail and put the balance in the lathe TO
turn same of for counter shaft. The
snake was not hanging on the rest

All the men ran, and the snake after
them, until somebody killed it with a

swore he never would look for another

SHOCKING SUPERSTITION.
Roasting Woman In Italy to Cure Her
of Nitcacraft.

The FranbJirter ZeUung reports an
extraordinary instance of superstition
in Italy. At Pontea Ema. about three
miles from Florence, lives peasant
whose daughter is suffering from
bad form of hysteria. The girl went
about the house screaming the whole
night and frightened all with her hal
lucinations. The priest Of the place
stated that the girl was possessed with
Il devil. Masses were said, but they
were of no avail. 1t was stated that
her case was one to be cured only by
a person verscd III exercising evil spir-
its. The peasant must 60 TO the Via
Pitt, near Florence, where, he was
told, lived 4 famous sorcereSS. lie
and his daughter went there.
Arrived at the house in the Via
Pitt, the peasant knocked; and an old
woman appeared at the door. Are
YOU the wise woman?" said he. On
receiving reply in the affirmative,
and being ushercd into Il room in
which two wax candles were burning.
he laid his case before her. finishing
with: My daughter is bewitched and
can only be cured, ! am told, by some
one skilled in witchcraft."
The wise woman of the Via Pitt
said she dealt with such cases. Her
usual charge for driving out an ordi
nary devil was ) lire; for exercising
Beelzebub was 25 lire. The peasant
thereupon counted out 25 lire.
The house was in darkness. The
old woman told her guests TO follow
her and to kneel down in every room
they entered. The bowling that went
on in every room was truly dreadful.
The peasant and his daughter were
filed with confidence. You two,"
said the old woman. "harc only to re-
turn home and set light to your oven
fire. The first person who knocks at
your door is the caU>e If YOUR daugh-
ter'a sickness. Therefore. said she,
turning to the peasant, "as soon as any
one crosses Your threshold seize and
place that person, in tie presence Of
your daughter. in the oIelI."
With this advice the rair went
home. an.! lie peasant kindled fire
as the woman had directed. The fire
was kept up the whole might, but no
one knocked. At the breaI, of day a
knock was heard. "Who is there?"
asked the peasant ~it9g Heavens
sake give me = piece @! bread" said
| the voice without. The peasant opened
the door. and saw in front OF him a
| poor old woman, trembling with cold
and hunger.
Without any further ado he caught
her up in his arms anal placed her in
the oven. The cries If lu:. poor Great
ure were dreadful to hear. Forum
ately some mjlkmen haai.encd to be

BLEEDING AT THE NOSE.
a Frenchman's Plan for stopping 1t said
to Have Always succeeded.

Nose bleed. which is quite unusual
in old age, is frequently observed dur
ing the years OF puberty 1t may be
brought on by 4 variety of causes, and
appear after sunstrOke or sudden
change in the temperature or atmos-
pheric pressure or ~ Il blow in the
region of the nose. i can also appear
ut the beginning of typhoid fever or
measles or during an attack of articu-
lar rheumatism. Diseases character
lied by an alteration OF the bleOd rem
der The patients particularly liable to
nose bleed; this Is the case with dis
eases of the liver, spleen and kidneys.
The preventive treatment OF bleeding
al the nose consists in the medication
of the complaint under the dependence
of which il appears; but TO check the
hemorrhagc itself when it has once APP
peared the simplest means are the ap-
plication of cold cloths 10 the face. or
injections Of hot water in the nasal
foss;e. In more tenacious cases it is
well to resort To direct pressure by in.
Producing the finger rs far as possible
into the nostrii or else to plug the
nasal fossp rs accurately as can be
douC.
1t may happen. however. that these
different methods fail, and that the
abundance and persi>tcncy of the
bleeding constitute an actual danger.
Under these circumstances it will be
advisable to use autipyrinc. which,
according to writer in the \. I.
Herald, has succeeded in the hands Of
NJ. Guenot, of Laroche-en-Breui in
the most unexpected manner This
method, which he has used for over
two wears now, has never failed 1t
consists in smiling up or injecting into
the nose a solution of antipyrine, one
in five. With grown persons it is easy
enough, but with young and fractions
children it is necessary to have the
head held tightly and bent forward
while the solution is injected into the
nose, the mouth being kept open.
When this is done the nostrils should
be closed with the fingers to prevent
the liquid coming back at once. This

Inventive aud Mechanical Progress.

The announcement was made some
time ago, and created no little interest,
of the invention of q tool by which
sculptors and others engaged in the
carving of marble, stone or granite
could dispense with much of their
slow and laborious handiwork The
details of this mechanism as recently
given show that it is worked by two
or three cells of storage battery, giving
four to six volts and eight to ten
pmpereS of current. The device weighs
about six pounds and is provided with
plunger, the rapidity of stroke being
regulated by a button on the side of
the tool; the stroke can also be made
TO vary from one-eighth of an inch to
one inch, at a speed varying from 800
to 600 strokes per minute. Instead of
having to strike the tool itself the
operator needs only to gtide its move
ments, and is thus able not only to ac-
complish the work much more rapidly,
but TO give greater attention to the
working out OF the design. Although
six pounds is the heaviest tool thus far
constructed it is claimed that the
| principle OF the machine can be widely
extended and applied to yGvy many
purposes, from the most delicate sculp-
| ture TO the heaviest of granite drilling
and mining; ii is found particularly
useful for he carving of letters and
similar work. where it is necessary to
/ follow accurately straig ght or curved
/ lines
