The introduction of an artificial
humidity into the English spinning
and weaving mills 10y the injection
OF steam has not been attended by
the satisfactory results anticipated.
In addition to the large cost of such a
system the failure of the steam to
humidity in proportion to the vapor
discharged is an important point
noted, and as there can be no iniec-
ton at lower temperature than 300
degrees condensation takes place,
causing drip all over the place. But
the most serious objection brought
against such a use of steam is the in
furious effect it has on the health of
the work people, and though nearly
all humidifiers are SO constructed as
to blow steam through a series of
large pipes into sheds the effect is
much the same, and the temperature
is raised to very high pitch.
AS in all mills the atmosphere is ex-
cessively dry, impregnated with dust
and small particles of cotton, and con-
sequently injurious to health, the sys-
tenn most urgently advocated by
many is the vaporizing of water,
which can be warm in winter and
cold in summer. Dry air causes, of
course, excessive evaporation from
the body and affects the breathing
organs, as the air of the lungs is al
ways saturated with moisture, con-
sequently moisture in the air is abso-
lutely necessary to health. The pleas
antest and healthiest humidity of the
air is found to be 65 to rs per cent,
and therefore when mills contain
only 95 to As per cent it is unhealthy.

exclaimed the enraged tailor. Here
you owe me for the clothes you have
got on and yet you can afford to pay
for champagne and the delicacies Of

That's where you are off, Mr..
Shears. l don't pay for anything. l

credit, just as got these clothes from
you on credit. Don't you, Mr..
Shears, in your pride and self con-
ceit, imagine that you are the only
man to whom / owe money. owe

How IA swordfsh Can Fight.

Captain Amery of the schooner
Origin reported that while on an
outward voyage from England the
vessel was attacked by swordfish,
whose sword penetrated the hull and
broke off as the fish attempted to
withdraw it. The fish then turned
several solnersaults and disappeared,
as if either stunned or killed by the
force of the shock The sword left
in the side of the ship measured IS
inches. Before Newfoundland was
reached the vessel made over foot
of water, and the crew are of opin-
ion that if the fish had succeeded in
withdrawing its sword the vessel
would have foundered. London

BlSMARcK's DEPOSITION.
A New Story of How the Ex-ChanoellOr
Bearded the Royal Lion.

New Story of How the Ex-ChRnoeIlor
Bearded the Royal Lion.
The German nation never tires of
stories relating to the removal of
Prince Bismarck from the chancellor
ship of the empire. Many which have
been circulated within the last few
years have been found to be without
foundation One of the latest comes
from the pen of DR.. Hans Blum. In
his book, The German Empire in
the Days of Bismarck, which has
passed the censor and will soon ap.
pear in print, occurs an interesting
passage, which has caused the discus
sion of the relations between the EN-
peror and the deposed chancellor to
break forth anew The doctor says
that directly after the famous inter
view of Bismarck with Windhorst,
the dead leader of the Center party,
the emperor sent the following mes
sage to the chancellor, "The emper-
or demands that Prince Bismarck re.
ceive no members of the reichstag
without sending notice beforehand
to the emperor"
Prince Bismarck, according to
Blum, answered the messenger,
whose name is not given, Tell the
emperor, please, that l do not allow
any one to interfere with my domes-
tic affairs"
On the following day-it was
March 15-his majesty arose very
early and hurried to Bismarck's pal
ace. After the formalities of saluta-
ton he told Bismarck that he wished
to be instructed each evening regard
ing the results of the chancellor's
conversations with the various party
leaders. Prince Bismarck declined to
accede to the demand and repeated
in substance his message of the pre-
ceding evening.
The emperor became excited and
asked, And you decline to do this
even if command it as your sover-
eign2"
'TThe power of my imperial mas
ter" replied the chancellor, lends at
the threshold of my wife's drawing
room"
The prince added that he had only
remained in Office because he had
promised Emperor William / to
serve his grandson also. Upon hear
ing this the emperor demanded Bis
marck's resignation, offering at the
L. e
Lauenburg and to give him pen
sion commensurate with his rank.
The chancellor declined the offers
with thanks, remarking as to the
pension, mo one shall be able to
say that l ended my career by run
ming after a reward, like an industri-

Having Fun After Death.

A humorist in Japan who jested
all his life told his friends when he
was dying that his body was not TO
be washed after death, but was to be
taken at once to the family temple to
be cremated. When he died his in
structions were followed. AS soon
as it was set on fire the mourners
were astonished by several loud ex,
plosions. At first they were inclined
to take TO their heels, but curiosity
got the better Of fear, and careful
inspection showed that the humorist
had slowed away a large number OF
frecrackers about his person before
his death. Toronto Mail.

Finger Nails.

The finger nails are so influenced
by the employment of the person that
they are but unreliable indices. AS a
rule, however, those which are short
and broad indicate tendency to crit
icisn and pugnacity and a disposi-
ton to argue, with love of power.
There may be also tendency to med
dlesomeness, and the subject is per-
haps fidgety and easily worried Wo-
men with short nails are as a rule
well, it is supposed that Xantippe's
fingers were tipped in this manner
The good points of short nails are
quickness of intellect and quickness
to grasp a situation, with an. abun-
dance of tact, and if the hand be good
in all other respects, the bad qualities
will be toned down" and little will
remain of their characteristics save
gentle sarcasm and tendency to good
natured irony. Long, curved nails be-
long to persons of a cruel disposition,
but if simply narrow and delicate
they indicate only delicacy of mind
and fine firmness of character. .-Bos-

Electricity as n Sanitary Agent.

Electricity in addition to its other
manifold uses is sanitary agent.
When Professor Tyndall was expert
menting with atmospheric dust in
his researches on the origin of the
lowest forms of life, he found that an
electric discharge passed through a
dusty atmosphere purified it by caus-
ing the minute particles to settle
And long before these researches it
was commonly SAID and believed
that thunderstorm purified the air.
Thus a scientific foundation is

A Story of Frank Hatton.

Having been brought up in the
Methodist church, Hatton found him
self as first assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral, subjected to many religious
"pull'' from persons introducing them
selves to his notice az members of the
same communion, says Kate Fields
Washington. One Of these persons
Was a minister, who had not held a
settled charge for several years, but
had combined itinerant preaching with
the duties of an inspector under the
postoffice department. When Hatton
came in several subordinate function
aries were marked for removal, among
others this one. He hurried about, and
by one means and another secured let
tiers from prominent church dignitaries
asking for his retention. He applied
first to Postmaster General Howe, who
turned him over to his first assistant.
II believe I have written you asking
for your resignations said Hatton,
quietly, in response to the visitors in.
troductory remarks.
"You have, sir; and I am here to
ask if you cannot withdraw your re-
quest on the strength of all these Gre
dentials?''
mo, sir; cannot / have made up
my mind, and you will have to CO."
The applicant assumed the most SOL
emn air and tone.

Hatton. coolly. "Since 7 have been
raised to one of the MOST prominent
positions in this department take it
that the Methodists are satisfied.
They certainly would not ask for every
thing; and. as I can serve the church
better as first assistant postmaster gen.
eral than you can serve it as an in-
spector, you will have to get out, for

made on the South Carolina and
Pacific because the board understood
that the market value of the road al
any time would be six millions.
The reduction on the Wilmington,
Columbia and Augusta Road and the
increase on the Florence branch was
to Try and even up the assessment on
that line. The largest concessions were,
however, made to the Richmond and
Danville people, as their Air Line was
reduced $1,000 per mile, and the Colum-
bia and Greenville $500 per mile and
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
81 900 per mile. The assessments on
the Spartanburg and Asheville and
the Spartanburg, Union and Columbia
were changed so as to get an average
on the whole length of the line.
It is said that the East Shore Termi-
nal Road has made no return at all,
and while the assessment was left the
same as last year, the road it is said
will be charged with $4,000 per mile
by way of penalty.
Many of the roads, as will be seen,
were left the same as at present. The
board has invited the representatives Of
the lines to be present at the meeting
of the board on the 9th if they had any
protest TO make. 1t is pretty safe to
say that the complaints will not be as
general as they have heretofore been.
THE RAILROAD COMMISSION
did not hold its regularmeetlng to-day,
as Chairman Duncan was engaged at
the meeting of the State board Of equal
ization. The commission has not yet
heard from the citizens of Pleasant Hill
about the copy of the agreement it
asked for some time ago.
