Strassburg's Strange Club.

An original idea in the way of clubs
has been conceived in Strassburg. A
number of people in that city are said
to have formed themselves into a So
ciety whose principal rule requires
that each member shall make the as
cent of the cathedral spire at least
once day. The club is thus compre-
hensively entitled Strossburgermunst
erthurmplattformalletageeinodermeh
acknowledgements. The word
is certainly an admirable one if, as
may be presumed, 1t has been designed
for pronunciation by members during
the ascent. t.-Westminister Gazette.

Tie Food Of the Future.

Chemistry, while yet in its infancy,
has already shown what the possible
ties of chemical compounds are. We
can already produce tea and coffee ar
ti6cially, as we'll as many other food
substances. A new process claims TO
produce sugar from gases at the cost
of one cent per pound. There is al
ways supply when demand becomes
imperative, and when concentrated
food tablets are insisted upon, there
will not be wanting inventive genius
to study out the why's and wheretores
of chemical theories and furnish the
articles required. New York Ledger.

PulseOmeter,

A pulseometer has been invented
which, it is claimed, it is possible TO
tell to fraction the exact condition
of the heart beat. An electric pen
traces on prepared paper the ongo-
ings, baltlngs and precise peregrina-
tions of the blood, showing with the
fidelity of science the strength or
weakness of the telltale pulse. This
should, it is considered, be of special
advantage to life insurance doctors,
as well as to the profession at large.

THE WIDOW cor pAMAars.

In 1890, Mrs. Mary E. Sawyer. OF Saline
County, Nebraska, by her attorneys, A. G.
Wolfenbarger and w. Henry Smith. of Lin-
coin, brought suit for damages against sew
eral saloon-keepers for constantly supplying
liquor to her inebriate husband, causing his
DEATH and thus depriving her and her minor
children OF naedful support. The evidence
produced at the trial showed that Andrew ].
Sawyer, the husband, was an honest, hard
working farmer when he began patronizing
thesaloons Of tho defendants in Crete that
he continued drinking until he became inca
pable OF performing the necessary work on
his farm that he would 90 on perio Heal

1889, by his reckless squandering OF his prop
erty through drink, he and his family were
reduced to abject poverty, and friends and
neighbors assisted the mother and children
with food and clothing to keep them from
starving. The case WIS bitterly fought by n
prominent ex-district judge and his associ-
ate on behalf OF the liquor men, but the Wild
ow's lawyers won judgment OF $500 for
her and the children. The liquor men car
ried the case to the Supreme Court, where 1t
has been pending since 1892. Judge Morris

The devastation and suffering caused by
the flames OF the wild prairie and forest fires
In the West, last summer, has a horrible de-
tail in the loss Of life and destruction OF prop
erty. Men. women and children, by scores,
choked by smoke and roasted alive; their
homes destroyed and hundreds MANNED and
crippled. 1t is painful to contemplate but
still important and charitable 10 make it
burns and scalds, and should be kept on
hand. There is no household that should be
without the great remedy for pain, for there
are none without the need OF it. Little
things like slight cuts and wounds II heals
and cures like magic and helps the house

The story OF the Thumbs.

eff you will allow me the Hibernic-
ism, said a young lady of observation,
al would like You to note for me that
the true index finger is the thumb 1
do not mean that from the length of
its phalanges you can find out whether
there is blonde divinity or a brunette
fate awaiting you, or that from its
spatul0ted or oval nail can tell
whether you like pictures or horse
races-all that sort of digital conjur-
ing l leave to the palm mysticists. But
what do mean is that the thumb is a
remarkable indicator of its owners
bodily and mental condition.
"The newborn babe holds it's
thumbs in the palms of its hands,
clenched in its little fists, and il is
only when the mind and body both ex-
pand that il takes its thumbs out and
holds them up as independent organs.
What deep connection there may be
between this fact and our simian an
cestry l cannot say. Let mothers
watch their childrens thumbs, and if
they stick out boldly it is an unfailing
indication of good health and aggres-
sive disposition, while if they have a
tendency to seek the shelter OF the
fingers it means feeble health and sub
servient will.
Just notice the thumbs OF your
friends now, and you will see the same
relations between their posture and
the mans constitution of mind and
body. The conditions are simplicity
itself; the weak mans thumb is weak
and pendant, the strong mans thumb
is strong and erect The parallelism
is SO marked that you eau tell from a
glance at u mans thumbs whether he
is an aimless thinker or man who
carries his ideas, or somebody else's,
into action.
'It may be treachery to my sex, but
l don't mind telling you that it will be
a good thing for yoppfellows to mark
well the thumbs,effhe ladies of your
choice. Iftegirrs thumb, be it ever
J so prettily yfosy, has tendency tc
! stand at right angles to the hand
well, the gray mare will need bit,
that's all, while il it lies flat, or droops
little, you can count on marital sub
mission to the master mind, and that's
the sort of domestic paradise all you
sons of Adam are looking for, isn't it
with the waning of the powers o.
frame and brain pot comes the depres
sion, had almost said the recession,
of thumb, and whether r. senility oi
idiocy the thumb is always turned in
And then, when you turn your face tc
the wall and know no more summer
heat ncr winters cold, those that stant
about you and say: well, poor ole
chap, he's gone at last, will find thai
you have tucked your thumbs away il
the shelter of your hands, just as yor
had them when you were q little
baby. New York Sun.

INSECTS on TREES IN WINTER.

A few winter days may be very
proftably employed in thoroughly
cleansing fruit and shade trees. The
fruit and shade may thus be saved,
and the appearance of the trees during
the next summer will be improved.
The aim should be in all cases to have
clean, healthy, well-fed trees, as these
are the least susceptible to insect at
tacks. Feeble or infested twigs or
branches should always be cut out
promptly as soon as noticed, and in
all cases these should be burned to
kill any Larvae which they may con.
tain. 1t will pay to scrub the bark of
all kinds of trees each winter with g
stiff brush and the suds of whale oil OF
other soap, to remove harboring
MOSES, fungus growths, or other par
asitic plant life and to kill the insects
wintering in the crevices. American

In 1874, I saw my mother kneellng in the

Madame Patti believes any one who as
pires to success as n vocalist should be n
total abstainer. She says "Alcohollc slim
ulants OF any kind tend TO irritate the throat.
and should be entirely abstaned from. Even
light wines are no exception to this rule.
Most people are familiar with tho hoarse
voice Of the hard drinker, and It Is often said
Of such an individual that he has burnt his
throat with drink. Eyon mo ierate use OF
alcohol may, therefore, tend to make the
voice husky"

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Go into winter quarters with as
many young bees as possible.
Most garden vegetables are gross
feeders, for whom the soil can hardly
be made too rich.
To know what to do and to do it in
time, after the hive is selected, is to
succeed in beekeeping.
Florida truckers whose crops were
destroyed by the storms are turning
their attention to planting strawber-
ries.

A writer who is discussing tho question OF
drinking and total abstinence from n practi-
cal business point OF view, and ignoring the
moral and sentimental side, says Life IN
surance companies find the moderate drlnker
more dangerous risk ana his mortality
greater, hence refuse to insure him at oPdin-
airy rates, or at all. Mercantile agencies
find that business conducted by moderate
drinkers is more precarious and followed by
greater number OF failures, hence rate suoh
firms low as to responsibility. Railroad
companies find that accidents and losses In
crease under the care OF moderate drinkers (;
that the income and stability OF the road are
diminished, compared with the same service
by total ahstainers. Capital everywhere dis
covers by figures which havo no other mean
ing that under the care and control OF mod
erate or excessive drinkers the losses, perils
and risks OF business are increased.
TEMPERANCE AND oDsrISAcY.
The temperance principles Of the regiment
OF Illinois Infantry Volunteers. known rs
the Zone Hundred and Two Dozen," arc
well illustrated in an incident related by tho
regimental chaplain. In the battle OF Cham
plon Hills Orderly Sergeant Abraham New
land, Company ID, was shot in the face, and
left to die upon the field. but was picked up
later and carried to tho hospital
Sergeant Newland's jaws ard mouth
seemed TO be all shot to pieces, and he was
In a sinking condition. Seeing this the SUR
geon ordered. him to have little brandy,
which the dying man, as they Thought him
to be, refused. The surgeon told him he
must take some stimulant or die.
Newland motioned for paper and pencil
and wrote, "If die, l will die SOBER"
This obstinacy angered the surgeon for q
moment and he muttered, "Die then" But
his kind heart conquered and he gave tho
sergeant tho best OF attention, and saw him
recover with scarcely trace OF the wound.
The surgeon remarked afterward
sergeant Newland was too obstinate
about the brandy; but no doubt his temper
ance principles saved his life, since drink
ing man never could have rallied from such
awound."
