We are rubbing up the old andirons and

Surely it would be no confession Of inferi-

chance to be the rules Of an employer.

Preserving n Living Body.

]. T. Lacy of Javaca, Ark, sends the fol-
lowing to the st. Louis Republic;
About 20 years ago / was told that In
olden times, and even in modern times, the
people had way of preserving the dead.
The idea struck me that, II the dead could
be preserved by drugs, perfumes and chem
icais, why not preserve the livingf told
my friends and neighbors that l believed
the living body could be preserved as well
as the dead, but as they had never seen 1t
tested they were not prepared to give an
opinion.
/ concluded TO try the experiment, but
my neighbors said would kill myself, and
they advised me to let nature take its
course, as l would die as soon as my time
came began the experiment regardless
of my friends opinion and protest, and now
I can look back and see that they are all
dead.
Ipreserved my body 70 years ago, when
was "a years Of age, which now makes me
104 years old. How much longer can con-
tinue my experiment and preservation do
not know, being the first who has ever
undertaken the experiment. guess that
I will be compelled to await the result.
Should my death be brought about by my
experiment, would have nothing to re-
gret, because am now 104 years old. 1t
may be that will be able to prolong my
life indefinitely. Who knows and who can
tell what the result will bef am satisfied
as far as have gone.
Some Of the best known citizens Of the
town vouch for the truth OF Mr. Lacy's
story,

GARTER HARRlsoNs BAD FRENCH.

he Wanted Mushrooms, but the waiter
Brought Him an Umbrella.
Some other Americans and myself had
been In the habit of dropping into the
Cafe Francois after leaving the Grand
Opera House.
None Of our party spoke French, and
the head waiter was the only one in the
cafe who spoke English. he had long,
flowing, red mutton chop whiskers. As
soon as we would take our seats we
would be approached by a waiter, where
upon we would begin pulling our own
phantom mutton chops to make him
understand that we wanted the head
waiter.
"Oui, oui," he would say, and in a few
moments our bewhiskered friend, Of
whom Major Handy is a prototype,
would be bowling and smiling and work
ing graciously for tip.
We met Carter Harrison. He went TO
the theater with our party, and after
ward we took him to the Cafe Francois.
Carter Harrison was then, and may be
now, very fond of mushrooms. Before
going into the restaurant he inquired the
French name for them. He was told
that they were called "champignons."
We soon were seated at our usual ta-
BILE and one of the walters came to us.
We worked our imaginary mutton chops,
but were given to understand that the
head waiter was absent. Harrison tried
to pronounce "champignon," but could
not. He thought he had it perfectly, but
his pronunciation was no more like the
French of it than my English is like the
Hindostanee. He couldn't make the
waiter understand, until an inspiration
came to him. He seized his pencil and
drew the picture of a mushroom.
Carter pronounced the word again and
pointed at the picture. There it was,
plain as day to us who knew what he
wanted-the stem and canopylike top Of
the vegetable. The waiter gazed at it in
profound study for q moment, then the
light Of comprehension spread over his
features.
"Oui, oui," he said, and trotted off.
In few moments he returned, and
bowling politely to Mr.. Harrison, handed
him an umbrella. We looked at the pic
ture Of the mushroom, the waiter looked
at IL, and then Carter, umbrella in hand,
looked at it. Then he rose and said some
thing that every American could under
stand, but which, luckily for him, the
waiter did not. Carter ate no mush-
rooms that night.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Rmerica's Great Danger
AN ENGLISH COMMENTARY.

Said an eminent English scientist recently,
sTbe danger that confronts the great Ameri-
can people to-day is not the possible adop.
tion of wrong financial policy for the
nation, or the spread of socialism, or the
increase Of corruption among public men.
AL these are bad enough, to be sure, but
they are as nothing compared TO the terrible
national disease-I had almost said national
orime--of overwork. The mad rush foI
wealth is set at a killing pace, and thousands
fall by the way every year.
You are likely to be one Of the victims !
How do we know2 Because il is the exoep.

Remedy For Spider Bites.

Having read of the man in Jersey City
bitten by spider, would suggest a reme-
dy that has never failed in my treatment
for that trouble. 1t is liquid ammonia and
whisky. Rub few drops of the liquid
ammonia on the bitten part, and drop to
10 drops in a good whisky dram, and re-
peat two or three times if necessary every
25 or 80 minutes. Repeat also, rubbing the
part bitten several times if the pain fingers.
This is a very safe remedy for snake bite,
the moccasins especially, if the treatment
is used in 10 or 10 minutes after the bite of
the snake. 1t will relieve the pain, and
usually prevents the swelling. Every fam
lily where there are children should keep
the liquid ammonia, and the whisky, too,
II the use of the latter be not abused. am
on the shady side of 20 years, have been in
active practice Of medicine, chiefly in Vir.
ginia, for over so years, and I can truly say
the remedy above mentioned is safe and
sure--William It. Fleet, NJ. D., in New
York Sun.

Rules For Judging Rubber.

An investigation has been conducted
by Lieutenant l.. Vladimiroff at the st.
Petersburg Technical institute with q
view to establishing rules or tests where
by the quality Of vulcanized india rub
Der may be efficiently judged. 1t is
notorious fact that no method of chem
ical analysis gives q reliable result for
this substance. Hence the tests applied
were chiefly of physical nature. From
a lengthy series of experiments the fol-
lowing conclusions were deducedi
India rubber should not give the least
sign of superficial cracking when bent
to an angle of 1sO degrees after five
hours Of exposure in closed air bath to
a temperature of 1875 degrees centigrade.
The test pieces should be six centimeters
thick.
Rubber that does not contain more
than half its weight of metallic oxides
should stretch to five times its height
without breaking.
Caoutchouc, free from all foreign mat,
ter except the sulphur used in vulcaniz-
ing it, should stretch at least seven times
its length before rupture.
The extension measured Immediately
after rupture has taken place should
not exceed 10 per cent of the original
length Of the test piece Of rubber. The
test piece should be from 8 to 10 MILL,
meters long, centimeters wide and not
more than millimeters thick.
Softness may be determined by measur,
ing the percentage of ash formed on in.
cineration. 1t may form the basis foI
deciding between different grades of rub,
ber for certain purposes.
The vulcanized rubber should not hard.

chemical Coated Nails,

The holding power of the wire nail has,
says The Age of Steel, been accentuated by
the advent of the chemical coated wire
nail. This nail is described as somewhat
lighter than the average standard nail and
coated with preparation which gives it
remarkable holding powers. In fact, when
a nail is once driven 1t is almost impossible
to pull 1t out again. For boxmakers' use
and for other purposes it seems to be

Further Action Necessary,

Further action by Congress is necessary
before the wharf and approaches to Wake
field. Va. the birthplace of Washington, can
be constructed The difficulty lies in the
fact that the act making appropriation
for the work, provides that il shall be done
In way that Is impossible within the ap-
preparation The hlan for the wharf was
made by Gen Casey, many years ago. when
much cheaper than at present The Attor-
ney General has given an opinion that the
appropriation can be used only in the
execution of the original plan The Secre-
tary of State. who has charge of the mat
ter. has, therefore. decided to refer IL to
Congress with a recomm endatton that the
act be amended 50 as to permit the wha #

plan. or else that the appropriation be in
creased so as to permit the execution Of the
