A workingman.s Discovery

Some years ago tobacconist discov'
cred the utility Of tinfoil for wrapping
tobaccos. Heretofore paper had been
exclusively used for the purpose, but il
did not serve to keep the moisture OF
the atmosphere away from the tobacco
nor preserve the natural moisture Of the
tobacco from the effects of q dry OF
heated atmosphere. Paper also alb
sorbed the aroma of the weed and was
not sufficiently lasting. Therefore tin
foil was used for wrappers. But it be-
came costly and could only be rolled to
a certain thickness or thinness, beyond
which the ingenuity Of man seemed to
find it impossible to go. The fact was
that no rollers could be made to sustain
the pressure necessary to MASKING the
tinfoil to leaf sufficiently thin to suit
the manufacturer.
Many ingenious inventors struggled
with the proposition for months and
gave up the problem as unsolvable, when
simple workman about the shop one
day, after rolling two sheets to the Gus
tomary thickness, put the two sheets to-
gether into the rollers and made both
halves as thin as they were before. This
was as simple as standing an egg on end,
but it created revolution in the manu-
facture of tinfoil for tobacconists' use
and made mint of money for the dis
coverer. Philadelphia Press.

MONEY FOR THE NORTHWEST.
How This Section Fares in the Sundr


How This Section Fares in the Sundry
Civil Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The economists
of the house appropriation com nittee
out the Northwest off with absolutely
nothing that could be kept out of the
sundry civil appropriation bill, which
was reported Saturday. 1t provides for
the expenditure of $500, 900 for 1895 for
the st. Paul public building Among
the other appropriations to be provided
for are: For building a revenue cutter
for the great lakes, $75, 1000, the vessel to
cost not over $4,000; for the Duluth
fish hatchery, 4,440, reduction of
$500; for Typographical surveys in North
and South Dakota, etc., $50, 900; for sur
' ays on Lake Superior and connecting
lakes, $4,000, and $4,000 for maps;
for improvement of the Missis-
sippi river from Cairo to Minneapolis,
81, 525, 900, of which $685. 66 is to be ex-
pended between the mouth of the Mis-
souri, and Minneapolis. This includes
money to be expended upon the pro-
posed Meeker island dam, and 800, 600
below the estimate for 1895. The total
amount authorized for this expenditure
is $4,S75,0O0. The appropriation for
Hay lake channel, St. Mary's river, is
$3.50, 900, and the appropriation for st.
Mary's river at the falls is 100000.
The bill appropriates total of $50, 291,-
882. The bill for 1894 carried $41, 49,
511, or $9,409, 928 more than for this
year. The estimates for 1895 were for
$58, 1881, 002. The. greater saving is in
the item of rivers and harbors.

An English ..Water witch. !"

A young man Of the name of Rodwell,
in the employ of the Grinton Coal COM
pany in north England, has shown won
derful powers in his occupation as pro-
fessional 'swater finder" or water
WITCH" Professor E. r. Lancaster, the
great English scientist, stated very plain
" in one of the journals that he doubted
the attributed powers Of either the
switch" or the "divining rod" with
which he is armed in all professional
operations. This evoked the following
from DIR. Mcclure, the chairman Of the
Grinton companyi II deny emphatically
that the lad is an imposteri He has been
tested time and again and has never
failed to locate veins Of either mineral or
water, depending upon what the search
was being conducted for. The 'divining
rod which he holds only moves in obedi-
ence to the muscular contractions of his
hands and arms, and he can use a rod of
any kind of wood or material, providing
it be what is known as a good conductor
of electricity Another oddity about the
lad, and one of which have never heard
in connection with water witching,' is
this: The lad habituallY walks with his
hands clasped behind him, and as soon
as he steps upon the ground directly over
mineral or water he is powerless to un-
clasp them until he moves away from
the region of the lode or conduit. st.

CHINESE MOCK MONEY.

Node by the Celestials to Defraud Their
Departed Ancestors.
A correspondent of The North China
Herald, writing from the interior of
Kiangsu province, mentions that one of
the industries there is the manufacture
of mock money for offering to the dead.
Formerly the Chinese burned sham pa
per money, but in these days of en-
Hghtenment and foreign intercourse the
natives of Soongkong, Hangchow and
other places have come to the conclu-
sion that dollars are more handy to the
ghosts than clumsy paper money; hence
they now, to great extent, supply
their ancestors and departed friends
with mock dollars. These are only
half the size of real dollars, but there
appears to be no more harm in cheat
ing the dead than there is in cheating
the living. Besides the deceased are
rot supposed to know the difference,
for many of them parted this life before
silver dollars were imported into China.
A hundred mock carolus dollars, done
up in boxes, are sold for 81 cash.
The operation of making this money
is interesting. First of all there are
blocks of tin which are melted down
and then poured between boards lined
with Chinese paper, and when the up
per board is pressed down on the lower
a thickness of tin remains. This is
next cut up into strips inches long,
one wide and an eighth of an inch
thick. Some 10 of these strips are
placed evenly together, one on top of
the other, and one end is held between
the fingers, when the workman pro-
ceeds to hammer them out till he has
beaten them so fine that they are now
feet long and foot broad and so thin
that they are not thicker than the thin
nest paper. This is next pasted on COM
mon cardboard, which is then cut with
a punching machine to the size of half
dollars, and this having been done a
boy takes the cut out pieces in hand
and with two dies, one representing the
one side and the other the reverse, ham,
mers impressions of dollars on them,
and the money is ready for use.
Another very curious instance Of the
pIdCGlC0 VI CASdC1IS IHO gus 10 ACSOAu-
ed in the same journal, but from quite
a different part of the country. 1t ap-
pears that districts of the Anhui prov
ince have lately been ravaged by an
epidemic, so that in many places the
people were unable to attend to the har-
vesting of the crops. An attempt was
then made to deceive the gods by play
ing att New Years day and pretend
ing that Sept. was the first day of the
new year. Every preparation for cele-
brating the bogus new year was made,
such as burning irecrackers and past
ing happy sentences in red paper on the
doors. The object was to make the god
of sickness think that he had made
mistake in the seasons and had erred in
bringing an epidemic on the people at
a time when no epidemics in the course
of nature should appear. AS any action
contrary to nature done by the gods is
liable to punishment by the king of
heaven, the actors in this farce thought
that the god of sickness would gather
his evil spirits back to him for fear of
the displeasure of his superior divinity.
This child's play received the permits
sion and cooperation of the local au-
thorities. London Times.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; etfectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and ST bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

An Elastic Appetite.

The American black bear has an ap-
petite that may be appropriately term
ed elastic. He will kill a thousand
pound steer or capture the tiny field
mouse for a meal with equal indiffer-
ence, IF a pig or sheep is not handy
to his reach, he will dine on colony
of ants or nest of wood grubs.
He will feast on dainty birds eggs
or sweet stores of wild honey and on the
foulest carrion with like gusto. He will
fish for the savory trout, but at the
same time snap any warty toad or Shiny
lizard that may happen along that way.
He will seek the luscious wild plum
when it has ripened or the wild grape
among the branches where the vine
chambers and bears its fruit, but will
not miss the opportunity to make food of
any snake that may lie in ambush there
for birds that come to peck at the plums
or grapes. The bear has comprehen-
sive palate. There is scarcely a thing
in the animal or vegetable kingdom
that will not tickle New York Her

The Marriage Line.

An interesting discussion has sprung
up among the palmists in regard to the
line of the hand known as the marriage
line. One recognized authority says
that when this line curves upward the
possessor is not likely to marry at all.
Other experts reply that they know
many married and happy people with
such line. 1t is also alleged that the
transv erse line on the chill of Mer-
curry, 7" which one party says is the mar
riage line. is not so considered by the
Chirological society. "Our opinion,
says the editor of the party organ, is
that these lines are signs of attachment,
and there is scarcely hand ever seen
without at least one in the hand of
either married or unmarried people. -

WHY THE JUROR HELD OUT.


The Extraordinary Secret Impaired to q
Chief Justice In England.
The most remarkable case of jury
"standing OUT against what seemed
irrefutable testimony, and all through
the resolution of one man, occurred be-
fore Chief Justice Dyer many years ago.
He presided at murder trial in which
everything went against the prisoner,
who on his part could only say that on
his going to work in the morning he
had found the murdered man dying and
tried to help him, whereby he had be-
come covered with blood, but when the
man presently died he had come away
and said nothing about it, because he
was known to have had quarrel with
the deceased and feared he might get
into trouble. The hayfork with which
the man had been murdered had the
prisoners name ON it. In other re-
spects his guilt appeared to be clearly
established, and the chief Justice was
convinced of it, but the jury returned
verdict of mot guilty"
This was Chief Justice Dyer's case,
and he put some very searching ques-
tions to the high sheriff. The cause of
the acquittal, said the official, was un-
doubtedly the foreman, farmer of ex-
cellent character, esteemed by all his
neighbors, and very unlikely to be OBJ
stinate or vexatious. "Then, said the
Judge, st must see this foreman, for an
explanation of the matter / will have. "
The foremas, came, and after extracting
from his lordship promise of secrecy
proved at once that the prisoner had
been rightly acquitted, for, !" said he,
sit was myself who killed the man. "
1t had been no murder, for the other
had attacked him with the hayfork, and
-as he showed-severely injured him,
but in the struggle to get possession OF
the weapon he had the misfortune to
give the man fatal wound. He had no
fears as to his being found guilty OF
murder, but, the assizes being just
over, his farm and affairs would have
been ruined by confession, through
lying in Jail SO long, so he suffered mat
tiers to take their course. He was hor-
rified to find one of his own servants &C
cused of the murder He supported
his wife and children while in Jail;
managed to be placed on the jury and
elected foreman. He added that II he
had failed in this he would certainly
have confessed to his own share in the
business, and the judge believed him.
Every year for Is years the judge
made inquiries as to the foreman's exis-
tence, and at last, happening to survive
him, he considered himself free to tell
the story. London News.

Popular Everywhere.

Beginning with small local sale
in retail drug store, the business OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla has steadily IN
creased until there is scarcely vii
lage or hamlet in the United States
where it is unknown.
To-day Hoods Sarsaparilla stands
at the head in the medicine world,
admired in prosperity, and envied in
merit by thousands of our would-be
competitors. 1t has larger sale
than any other medicine before the
American public, and probably great
er than all other sarsaparillas and
blood purifiers combined.
Such success proves merit.
