MIDWINrER FAIR FUND.
Good Work BY The Committees
Yesterday. .

The committees appointed by the
cham Der of commerce to solicit funds
for the midw1nter fair exhibit secured
subscriptions yesterday amounting to
$572. While they are highly gratifed
they feel that they should have obtain
ed more. 1t will require about $4,000
to place such an exhibit at San Fran
cisco as the cham Der desires to place.
New items of expense have arisen and
the appropriation made by the board
of supervisors is not Immediately avail
able. 1t is therefore highly important
that as large personal contributions as
possible should be made at once.
Four committees will operate in Phe-
nix tomorrow, and one at Tempe.

Odd Insurance.

There is in existence a legitimate
graveyard" company. 1t is a company
operating entirely among the very poor
and insures a man against pauper burial.
The agents of the company put it in less
disagreeable terms and offer simply to
guarantee decent burial.
The company engages to furnish a
grave in a cemetery and see that the in
sured is respectfully inferred therein.
If any member of his family dies before
him. he is given a deed to a lot in which
he may bury his dead.
Some of the large companies issue a
policy covering losses from defective
title, defalcations by partner, agent or
other employee for which a firm may be
liable, damage by storm, losses caused
by accident to or by steam boilers, en-

Reclaiming Old Rubber.

Crude rubber is worth from 40 to IS
cents per pound, and yet a pound Of hose
or packing costs very much less. This
would be hardly practical if it were not
for the advances that have been made ir
the art of retaining or recovering rub
Der, which can be done at the total cost
of about 3 cents per pound. There are
several large factories in the country de.
voted solely to this purpose, and q great
many manufacturers do recovering on a
small scale at the seat Of the production
Of new goods.
These old goods are placed in large
tanks at the place Of retaining. A So
luton Of muriatic or sulphuric acid and
water is poured upon the waste, and the
whole set to boiling by a system of steam
pipes passing through the tank. After
10 or 10 hours boiling the cotton fDer
which is found in all rubber manufac-
lures and which is the serious drawback
In the reclaiming process, disintegrates
and falls into a powder, and there is no
difficulty then in the use of the waste

A New Theory Of Sleep.

Some discussion has been going on
concerning Herr R~osenbaum's recently
proposed theory Of s,aep-namely, that
the anfpmic condition Of the brain is due
to an excess Of water in the brain cells
of that body. The supposition, as stated.
is that sleep is essentially a matter Of
nervous action, and the direct cause is
thought to be fatigue of the nerve cells
which communicate with the heart and
bring about some change in the circula-
ton. The nerve cells are thus supposed
to be full of water when sleep comes on,
and this water during sleep passes into
the O blood as waste, and the nerve
cells then receive nourishment from
fresh a~rterial blood. Then when the proc
ess is entirely oyer the sleeper awakes.
According TO this theory, sleep is not
solely healthy because it rests the body
and brain. but also because it invigor-
ates them. 1t is also to be inferred
from Rosenbaum's theory that the nerve
cells and brains of infants who sleep SO
much must contain more water than is
to be found in those of adults, and that
the effectiveness of brain cells is in in
verse ratio to the water contents.-New
York Tribune.

A Rochester man has devised a plan
by which a trolley street car can be
stopped almost instantaneously, or with
in a space of three feet, while the car is
going at full speed. His device is oper.
ated by a lever in the motorman's cab.
1t is. generally speaking, a steel shoe,
upon which the rear wheels of the car
ride, the under side of which is CORFU
gated SO as to produce great friction
upon the rails Of the track. On the toy
of the shoe is az arrangement which, as
soon as the wheel rises upon the shoe,
clamps the outer rim of the wheel and
at the same time grasps the inner edge
of the rail. The simple weight Of the car
crowds down the shoe upon the rail and
at the same time clamps together, as in
q wise. the wheel and the rail. and ali
this by a single movement on the part OF
the motorman.-New York Telegram.

Collecting Cancelled Stamps.

Collecting Cancelled stamps.
What is apparently more useless than
cancelled postage stamps? And yet there
Is . store on Michigan avenu where
they seem to be in demand. One Of the
windows il entirely heaped up with
present day United States stamps, most.
" Of the 2 cent denomination. There
must be thousands Of them. and the OBJ
server can only wonder what In the
world can be their value. They cannot
possess any particular interest to the
stamp collector, for they are neither
rare nor valuable. To the ordinary per.
son the Cancelled 2 cent postage stamp
seems a worthless thing indeed. Prices
paid for such stamps. however, are lC
cents per 1000, 81 per 10000, and $12
per 100. 600. Many an industrious lad
will probably be moved by this offer (as
the appearance of the window indeed
testifies). and yet the immense labor Of
collecting 100, 900 stamps can be appre-
ciated.
Yet during the Centennial stamps
We're bought in the same manner. and
those who purchased them are today
reaping a handsome profit, for the Cen
tennial postage stamp has increased Won
derfully in value in q Cancelled condi-
ton during the last few years. As time
goes on stamps increase greatly in value,
especially stamps issued for one year
only on a special occasion like the Cen
tennial or fair. To show how valuable
a stamp may become, the writer Of this
may mention the fact that eight years
ago he purchased a first issue English
envelope stamp in London for $3.50. and
it was at that time worth a great deal
more in this country. Now it has prob
ably increased still re.-Detroit Free

A PECULIAR FAMILY
$1,000 Found Tn Dead ho"'""e
Trunk T.centy-Seren Mttes TO a
Funeral.

The death of Miss Catherine McAiee at
Autietam Cement Mills, on the Maryland
side of the river. mile below Shepherds
town. reveals some interesting circumstau-
ces of very peculiar family This family
moved from Smoketown, in Washington
county, to the Blackford farm at the cement
mill last spring. 1t was composed oil the
mother, an aged woman, two bachelor sons
and three maiden daughters, one of whom
was of unsound mind. Miss Catherine has
been sick for some tine past, and last FRI
dsy afternoon at o'clock she apparently
died. Preparations were being made Tor
the funeral. when she revived somewhat
and lived until 9 o'clock that night, when
the breath finally left her body.
The dead woman, as well as the others oil
the family, lived in the very plainest STYLE
She was never seen-at least of late years
in anything finer than calico dress. In
her trunk. however, were three fine silk
dress patterns that had never been cut, and
carefully concealed in the same receptacle
was thousand dollars in cash. Her sister,
Miss Margaret, insisted that the money and
the dresses be buried with the corpse. She
said it had been GATHERINGS own and no
one else had a right to it. Her peculiar
ideas of honesty impressed her with the be,
lief that the owner of the property should
not be separated from it even in death. bel
wishes were over ruled, though.
Saturday David McAfee went to Hargers
town to buy some clsthing for himself and
brother to wear at the funeral. They have
sixteen good horses on the farm, but IA
wrlked all the way to Hagerstown and back
a distance of 80 miles in all.
The funeral was held last Monday. I'M
body was buried at Foxville, away up IL
the mountains. The funeral procession
started at o'clock in the morning, droy
the twenty. seven miles to the burial place
and returned the same night, reachin
home at O'Clock the following morning.
They drove the ffty-four miles in al
taking nineteen hours for the trip.-Shef
