The Story Of a Leg.

Twelve years ago James Erisinger,
who now lives near Prospect, Butler
county, Pa, was driving along the
Centerville road in a blackboard,
swung underneath which was a nitro
glycerine torpedo which was being
taken to an oil we'll The wheel of
the vehicle struck stone, which flew
up and struck the loaded torpedo
shell, causing it to explode. Strange
to say, Erisinger was not killed, but
one leg was blown off, just below the
knee. The man was taken to his
home and soon recovered. At the
time of the explosion vain search was
made for the missing leg A day or
two ago two boys were hunting ground
hogs in the vicinity where the eIplo-
sion took place, when they found the
leg lodged in an oak tree. 1t was
dried and hardened, but the flesh was
still on the bones. They took the
grewsome relic home, and it was pre-
sented to its owner, who gave it an
appropriate burial.

What Ball Bearings Do.

Inventive genius has not stopped
with the pneumatic tire on the sulky
and bicycle, but has been busy with
the work of perfecting ball bearings
with such success that a few days
since a street car, which was equipped
with the latest invention in ball bear
ings that would do away almost en-
tirely with friction, was drawn dis
lance of several hundred feet by a
single man tugging gently at three
strands Of ordinary sewing thread at
tached to the car
Perhaps a more interesting expert
ment was that of a carriage maker
who put another style of ball bearings
upon the wheels of a large coach, to
which four horses were ordinarily
hitched. Then he took a trained dog
and harnessed and hitched him to the
pole, when the dog drew the huge
coach easily around the yard. This
sounds like fancy, but it is a fact.

About Onions.

Onions are kind of all-around good
medicine, and every housewife knows
this without knowing why. She knows
that solid red onion eaten at bedtime
will by the next morning break the
severest cold. She also knows that
onions make a good plaster to remove
inflammation and hoarseness. But she
does not know why. If anyone would
take an onion and mash it SO as to Sc
cure all the juice in it, he would have
a most remarkable smelling substance
that would quiet the most nervous
person. The strength Of it inhaled for
few moments will dull the sense of
smell and weaken the ne~ves until
sleep is produced from she exhaus-
ton. 1t all comes from one property
possessed by the onion, and that is
form of opium.

Eccentricity In Literary Taste.

Curious whims arc occasionally shown
by readers at the Public library. There
was a woman who regularly every Fri
day came for volume of sermons. She
did not mind whose sermons, nor what
the subject, so long as they were rell-
gious discourses of some sort. Monday
she would come back, return the ser
mons and take out novel to unbend
her mind until the next Friday, when
the sermons would again be in demand.
There was another woman who would
never read anything but religious
novel, as she called it, not such a one
as Ben -Hur" or one with particular
religious tenet to inculcate, but book
with a clergyman as its chief character.
Swinburnes Heavenly Arcana"
was read daily for years by an eccen-
trio old gentleman. He would draw
the book, keep it two weeks, return 1t
with his place marked and call early
the next morning TO take it out again.
He never took any other book from the
library, and finally died, leaving his
place marked as usual. There is one
old man who will never read book
written by woman. He reads good
books continually, but will have moth
ing to do with volume bearing wo-
mans name as its naturalization

Old Horses for Food.

The advertised sale in New York
this week of about 1000 head of the
horses discarded by the street railroads
on the advent of the trolley calls at
tention to the changes in the values of
draught-horses the electric motors
have made. All the old and worn
out horses in New York are sent over
to Brooklyn to be disposed OF at a
market which is unique In its way.
Sales are held every Monday and
Thursday, and the prices range from
So to 800 a head. The common
average is from $40 to $25. Last
Thursday a rig consisting of wagon,
horse and harness, all went for Sc.
The 50 style Of animal is usually
bought by man who started several
years ago a regular slaughter-house
Just outside the city. He kills them
lust as other cattle are disposed of,
his slaughter-house being appointed
according to the most modern ideas,
The hides go to the tanner, the hoots
to the glue factory, the names and
tails to the hair factories, the bones to
the sugar refneries; the meat is carved
up by butchers into pieces about two
feet long and ten inches square, then
smoked and picked and sent across
the ocean to Belgium in tierces. He
ships as many as 100 tierces at time.
In Belgium the people don't object to
eating horse meat. Some Of it, accord
ing to rumor, comes back here in nice
foreign brands and tariff duty paid as
choice imported bologna. Two years
ago the Department of Agriculture at
Washington seized 100 tierces OF the
stuff as unfit for export as food, as it
had not been properly inspected.
Now to keep up the good repute thus
established, the exporter employs

THEY DEFY IMITATION.
Invention Can Supply No Substitutes For
Whalebone or Teazel.


With all our boasted labor saving
machinery and modern inventions there
are numerous articles entering into the
economy Of manufacture which seem
crude and simple, but which defy i'm
provement.
No one, for instance, has ever been
able to find substitute for whale bone.
With the diminution of the supply and
the enormously increased cost of the ar
ticle, scores of inventors have turned
their attention to the article and at
tempted to supply substitute, but up
to the present time nothing as durable,
tough and pliable as whalebone has re-
suited.
Another article without which no
wooden manufacturer could prepare
certain goods for the market is the tea
gel. 1t is absolutely essential in rails
ing nap Oh cassimeres and soft WOOL
en- fabrics, and although scores OF iml-
tation teazles have been invented none
is found TO give the satisfaction OF the
odd little burr, with its stiff little
hooks, which is so extensively exported
and cultivated for the cloth finishing
trade.
Persons who have never seen q teazel
can imagine a fur cone, set all over
with little barbs. 1t is really burr,
or flower head, or thistle top of the
plant dipsacus, and so identified is 1t
with cloth dressing, and so long and so
general has been the use Of the teazel
for the purpose mentioned, that 1t Is
even reflected in its botanical name,
Dipsacus fullonum, or fuller teazel.
However familiar the teazel may be
to persons familiar with wooden manu-
facture. or to those who live in coun-
tries where it is extensively cultivated,
the fact remains that the great major
ity of persons have never heard Of such
an article and will be astonished to
learn in what enormous quantities they
are raised.
In France alone 5000 acres of land
are exclusively devoted to the cultiva-
ton of the teazel. French manufac-
turers use annually nearly $4,000, 600
worth of the prickly heads and export
during the same period upward of co.
600 tons, valued at $2,500,0O. When
it is considered that teazel weighs not
more than an ordinary buidock. the
vast quantity exported can be realized
in part.
In addition to the French crop, which
is the most highly esteemed, teazels are
produced in enormous quantities in
Austria, England, Belgium, Poland
and the Crimea. Until recently they
did not grow satisfactorily in the Unit
ed States, but now they are quite ex-
tensively grown in Oneida county, in
this state, and possibly elsewhere, and
it is said return fair profit to the Gull
tivator for the outlay Of money.
The prickles of the teazel have a
small knob at the end. and this mount
ed on an elastic stem, and set with
great precision on the central spindle,
which, revolving, claws the surface OF
the cloth, raises a nap which mechan-
ical contrivances have always failed In
eoualing. York Herald.

One of the Paine Anecdotes.

A volume could be made of the good
stories in which the venerable Henry
". Paine, who ended his long life here,
is the central figure. Mr.. Paine I'M
doubtedly knew more law than many
of our judges. He himself had declined
seat on the supreme bench of his native
state of Maine and again when Gov
ernor Bullock rendered him the success
sion to Chief Justice Bigelow in Massa-
chusetts. But he was not arrogant of
his learning, and it is only as illustrat-
ing his perennial humor that the story
is told of him, how, when seen reading
a lawbook on street car. a friend
said, "What! Mr.. Paine, you reading
law" BLESS your soul, MOI" was the
reply; this is not law; it is volume
of supreme court decisions. Boston

Portland, Me, Sept 2S.-Pugilist
Corbett was indignant today when
shown the statement of John L. Sulli-
van, accusing him of beating about the
bush. Corbett said in substance:
These people do not cut any ice
with me. Sullivan had always more
mouth than courage. He is gutter
from the word go, and I don't want to
have anything 10 do with him. He is
out of il. but there is one thing-if I
ever meet Fitzsimmons in the ring he
viii make a better fight than Sullivan
did with me. OF course, Jake kilrain,
Sullivan and jackson are sore and
know it. but that does not make any
difference with me. The Olympic club
does not want fight; they want to
make money out of me. Now, am
not inclined to let them until l have
proof that Fitzsimh ons is somewhere
IN my class, az ;his he can demon
strate by knocking out O'Donnell I
am making e cd monev now and not
taking Any risks TO please sore heads"
Corbett became excited and plainly
