A Job Waiting For His Lordship.

1t is said that there are few better anna
teur mechanical engineers in the country
than Lord Rosse. There is good story
told OF his visiting largo factory in tho
north OF England some years ago, when
one OF the partners in the concern, pass
Ing through the works, was struck by tho
remarks being made to the foreman by
the not particularly striking looking Wis.
ttor.
Entering into conversation himself with
the young man, he was so impressed by
the intimate knowledge displayed of the
mechanical details of the business that he
exclaimed:
You are just the man want. If you
are out of job, l will give you first

starvation, except In times of famine. It

fixes the value of labor impressed into tho

To Stop q Runaway Horse.

Scarcely week passes in any year that
human lives are not jeopardized by horses
taking fright and running away The
man who can devise some means which
will surely prevent this will be great
public benefaotor. Some one who profess
es TO know states that runaway accidents
seldom occur in Russia. The means used
In preventing them is very simple.
It is asserted that in Russia horse that
is addicted to the habit of running away
has thin cord with running moose
around his neck at the neck strap, and the
end is tied To the dashboard.
"At Rome" says this informant, "I
saw in the Corso n phaeton with two
spirited horses bolt. They were driven
by lady, and / expected to soc instant
destruction. But the lady coolly grasped
a thin cord, and within 30 yards the
horses came TO a full stop. I afterward
met the lady at Nice and expressed sur.
prise at the skill with which she stopped
the runaways.
"She treated 1t as tri1e and told me
accidents from runaway horses are un-
known In Russia, as no one but lunatic
would drive without cord. When horse
bolts, he always takes the bit in his teeth
and the skill of the driver is useless. The
moment the pressure comes on the wind.

TO STOP HICCOUGH.

A good deal of comment has been made
upon an alleged discovery by French ply
sician, and a foreign medical journal has
given 1t considerable space in its columns.
The new idea Is to the effect that snuff
administered until sneezing sets in will
stop serious cases Of hiccough. 1t is a GU.
rious and amusing fact that many doctors
sharply resent any suggestion that they
might employ "old women's remedies,
and when something simple is proposed
they will have none of 1t. Sneezing TO
stop hiccough has been school child s and
old nurses remedy In this country for
half century at least. Snuff takers need
feel no satisfaction In the foreign physi-
cian's discovery, for the old nurse and the
children used the frayed out corner of an
old handkerchief, or, lacking that, the
apron, rolling it to a tiny point and touch
ing the inner membrane of the nostril
with the soft muslin. II tho doctor will
try bit of rag and leave the snuff out
of the case entirely, the patient will re-
cover more quickly.-New York Ledger.
