Isl can take a dynamo apart and put
it together again." said an electrician.
II have made a close study of the the
DRY of electricity an d have had al ex-
tended and wide experience in the
working of electrical machinery, under
all conditions, but things will happen to
a dynamo which can be neither ex-
planned nor controlled. They have no
apparent cause, can't be remedied, and
can't be guarded against. A machine
will run along all right for days, and
then will suddenly get queer, refuse to
transmit the current, and the trouble
will defy the closest scrutiny. After
hours of pottering about on the part Of
the men, during which the machine will
resist every test, it will suddenly start
along all right, and run as il nothing
was the matter. There's q good deal
about electricity that the best experts
don't understand"

physician. 1.-The grocer, the dry goods
dealer, the clothier, the halter, and all
the rest OF 'em get their money more or
less promptly, but the doctors bill runs
on, sometimes for. years, before there is
even an attempt at settlement. And
this doesn't apply to poor people, par
ticularly, nor to those in moderate cir
cumstances, but TO many well off in
this worlds goods. l personally know
Of one bill here in Wheeling which "a

"a number OF interior counties are

Courts" said an attorney. They need
them about as much as a wagon does a

like Ohio, which really needs such a

ButIer's Kindness 30 All Ex-Confeds
crate.

When the democrats first obtained
control of the lower branch of congress
after the war, a southern man came to
Washington to get office, says a cOrre-
spondent of the St. Louis GLObe-D Demo-
crat. He relied confidently upon his
war record and his social relations.
His friends received him with open
arms, but did nothing for him beyond
the cordial greeting. The ex-confed-
crate waited until his means were ex-
| hausted, and the situation had become
desperate. One day, with his soul
full of bitterness, he walked into the
presence of Gen. Butler and told his
story.
Can you write a good hand?" asked
the general, when he had heard it all.
"Yes," said the southerner.
"Let me see," demanded the gen.
eral.
The visitor took pen and paper and
wrote.
@That'll do" the general comment
ed. How are you on iigures?"
The southerner thought he was
pretty fair. The general called off
rapidly and the other made mental
| calculation and gave the result.
q think you'll do" said the general.
"Here is 800. Go downtown and get
business suit of clothes. Pay any
little debts you've incurred. Then
| come back"
In couple of weeks the ex-confed-
crate was out of politics and into a
clerical position at a Lowell Mass
| factory. He remained there for years,
being advanced from time TO time.
| One day Gen. Butler sent for him. He
! had come into possession of 3 very
| large tract of tim Der and mineral land
| in n southern state. Onthe land squat
| ters had been settled for many years.
They must be placated and their
rights must be acquired before Gen.
Buffers title could be made clear.
Hundreds of thousands of acres were
| embraced in the tract. To remove
| the cloud meant fortune. The peo-
pie were hardy mountaineers. They
had the reputation of making short
work with those who disputed owner
ship of the land with them.
"Do you think you can DO anything
with it?" Gen. Butler asked, after be
| had examined what was desired.
"I'll try it." said the eX-confederate
He went south and spent twelve
months among the moUntaineers. The
job was one he would hardly have un-
dertaken for money compensation. He
got on the right side of the squatters
A few hundred dollars went long
way. This settler was bought out.
That one was induced TO move and
squat outside of the Butler tract. In
various ways the agent acquired all OF
the squatters' rights with their full
consent. At the end of the year he
carried back to the general the paper!
which made him undisputed owner O
ell of the valuable land.

CRIME IN ANCIENT LVANlA,
How They Punished Wrong Doors in the
Days of William Penn.

The unhappy people who are being
sent to Jail or have costs to pay now-a-
DAYS can thank their stars that they
did not live in the early days of the
colony of Pennsylvania, says the Ches-
ter NelCS.
The assembly that convened at Ches-
ter Dec. 4, 1852, enacted a code of laws
that made the people of the new col
ony live up 10 the mark, and, while
many of the several penalties of the
duke of York's code were softened,
vet the unfortunate deemed them
harsh enough.
The man or woman who used pro-
fame language was punished by fine or
Imprisonment, and more than one per-
son had reason for regret for express
ing their feelings in public with too
much emphasis.
The seyerest punishment was meted
out for licentious conduct. A public
whipping and one years imprison-
ment was the penalty for the grave de-
grees of this crime, while a second
otfense was punishable by imprison-
ment for life. The law was amended
in 1705, the first offense being punished
by the infliction of twenty lashes and
Imprisonment for one year, or a fine
of $3.50 A second conviction sub
iected the culprit to seven years i'm
prisonment and the letter "a" was
branded on his forehead.
The man who had more than one
wife, instead of being an object of
commiseration, was liable to be sent
to jail for life, while the man who
broke into house and stole was sent
to Jail for four months. He had 10
work like beaver, however, and un-
less he restored fourfold TO the party
the court sent him up for seven years
to give him time for reflection.
Murder was punished by death and
the forfeiture of half the estate of the
felon.
Theft was punished with public
whippings and various terms of I'M
prisonment, while restitution had to
be made from threefold to fourfold.
The minor regulations prohibited all
persons from taking part in stage
plays, revels, masques and kindred
worldly pursuits, so that any troops
that had chanced to drop into Pennsyl-
vania with the "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay"
would have been sent higher than Gil
derov's kite.
Drinking of health wes punishable
BY fine of shillings or five days
Imprisonment, and horse racing, shoot
ing matches and sports of like charac-
ter were interdicted. Ii the offenders
happened to be slaves they were whip
ped and imprisoned instead of being
fined.

Egg Notes.

A few drops of vinegar in the water
for poached eggs makes them set
properly and keeps the white from
spreading.
A squeeze of lemon improves scram-
bled eggs. 1t should be added while
they are cooking.
Asparagus tops are nice in an ONE
let.
Toast spread with pate de fois gras
and covered with scrambled eggs is a
fine lunch dish
Eggs fried without ham are best
done III little fine olive oil.
Cold fried eggs can be used for salad
or reyamped by dipping them in frit-
ter batter and frying
Fresh eggs taken from the shell and
boiled in half pint of sweet cream,
seasoned with salt and pepper, is de-
licious breakfast dish. They should
only cook two minutes in the boiling
cream.
Stewed tomatoes, grated cheese and
couple of chopped up boiled sausages
is tine sauce to serve with fried eggs.
