New Horrors in Store.

A French inventor has partly atoned for the invention of the piano by con- structing an ingenious contrivance which is fitted under the keyboard, so that sewing is done while sounds, musical or otherwise, are pounded out of the innocent wires. This invention will have it's disadvantages in thickly- populated communities. Hereafter it will not be a question of how many sewing machines are run in cloak factory, but how many pianos. Musical talent will be at premium when it is generally known that the Russian hymn will sew baby's frock, that a waltz in Faust" will run up a flannel vest, the intermezzo of "Cavalleria Rusticana" will turn out complete suit, and the Battle of Prague" not less than three top coats,-Pearson's Weekly

Researches In the Ar.

The air of a meeting-room, tested in different places and at different times during the progress of the meeting, showed numbers of micro-organisms varying from l35, 900 to 3,500,0 900. The air near the ground contained fewer than the air near the ceiling. For ex- ample, the air some four feet from the ground contained 27O,OO0 before the meeting and at the end of the meeting 400, 900, while near the ceiling the amount at the beginning of the meet ing was 3,OO0,OOO, and at the end of the meeting this had been increased to 3,5OO,OOO. Air near a burning jet of gas showed the largest figures of all. Thus, in the immediate vicinity of bunsen flame the gigantic number of 30, 900, 900 was found in a cubic centimeter, or 4S9, 900, 900 per cubic inch. In Mir. Ait kin's own words: 'It does seem strange that there may be as many dust par ticles in one cubic inch of air of room at night when the gas is burning as there are inhabitants in Great Britain; and that in three cubic inches of gases from a bunsen flame there are as many particles as there are inhabitants of the world" Possibly tests on the air of smoking rooms would reveal still greater numbers. Mir. Aitken has not yet tested such air, but he found that a cigarette smoker sends 4,000, 900, 900 particles, more or less, into the air with every puff he makes.-Gentle- mans Magazine.

NO UNEQUAL TAXATION.

The Kansas Supreme Court Holds That
 Railroads Must Be Fairly Treated.
 TOPEKA, Kan, April s.-The supreme court to-day handed down a decision holding that railroad property must not be assessed at greater valuation on the dollar than any other class of property and that an injunction would lie to restrain the collection of tax on an excess valuation. In 1893 the board of assessors of Atchison county agreed that all property except railroad prop erty should be assessed at 25 per cent. of its actual value. The tax levy was made accordingly and the Chicago, Burling- ton X Quincy, whose property had been assessed higher than % per cent. by the state board of railroad assessors, refused to pay county taxes on more than 25 per cent. The court below re- fused to enjoin the county treasurer and the company carried the case to the supreme court, which by this de-
 cision sustained the railroads position.

A YOUNG GIRLS TRIALS.
Nervous Troubles End in St vi. tus' Dance.
Physicians Powerless-The Story Told bJ
 the Child's Mother.
From ths Reporter, Somerset. Ky.l

From ths Reporter, Somerset, Ky.1
 Among the foot hills of the Cumberlan Mountains, near the town of Flat Rock fig the happy home of James McPherron. Four months ago the daughter of the fam lily, a happy girl of sixteen, was stricken With St. Vitus' dance. The leading physi- clans were consulted but without avail. She grew pale and thin under the terrible nerv- ous strain and was fast losing her menta, powers. In fact the thought of placing her in an asylum was seriously considered. Her case has been so widely talked about that the report of her cure was like undermining miracle of old. To reporter who visited the home the mother said:
 "Yes, the reports of my daughters sick. ness and cure are true as you hear them. Her afiiction grew into St. Vitus' dance from an aggravated form of weakness and nervous trouble peculiar to her sex. Every source of help was followed to the end, bu. it seemed that physicians and medicine were powerless. Day by day she grew worse un- til we despaired of her life. At times she al- most went into convulsions. She got so tha 1 we had to watch her to keep her from wan dering away and you can imagine the care she was.
 "About the time when our misery was kICdlSSo duu dll uupG utu ucu, Ttuu OI another case, almost similar, that had been cured by a medicine known as Dr. Williams Pink Pills. Almostin in desperationI secured some of the pills and from that day on the wonderful work of restoration commenced {; the nervousness left, her cheeks grew bright with the color of health, she gained flesh and grew strong both mentally and physi. cally until to-day she is the very picture of good health and happiness.
 'It is no wonder that speak in glowing terms of Pink Pills to every ailing person l meet. They saved my daughters life and am grateful"
 The foregoing is but one of many wonder ful cures that have been credited to Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People In many cases the reported cures have been investigated by the leading newspapers and verified in every possible manner. Their fame has spread to the far ends of civiliza- ton and there is hardly drug store in this country or abroad where they cannot be found.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are now given to the public as an unfailing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all forms of weakness arising from watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves. The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price (5O cents a box, or six boxes for S250-they are never sold in bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, NY

Young Husband Shoots His Wife Under
 the Shadow of n Church spire.
 WICHITA, Kan, April s.-Under the shadow of the spire of the Lincoln Street Christian church of this city at noon yesterday a terrible tragedy oc- cured before the eyes of the entire congregation. On the sidewalk in front of the church Walter Scott fired bullet into the brain of his wife and she fell at his feet corpse. Three hundred peo- pie were horror struck where they stood, and before hand could be raised or step taken Scott put the muzzle of the revolver between his teeth and fired bullet through the roof of his mouth into his brains. He fell near her and husband and wife died side by side, almost in each others arms, inside of two minutes from the firing of the first shot. At the sight of the bloody tragedy two or three women tainted and terrible ex- citement prevailed. A frightened man turned in a fire alarm which brought the department to the scene adding to the excitement. When Mrs. Scott was shot she was leaning on the arm of her brother

Why DrunkardA See DOuble,

The reason that a man sees double who has gazed too long on the wine when it is red is that the nerve centers are changed by the action of the alco- holic poison. There is want of har- mony in the action of the muscles which move the eyeballs. Conse- guently, instead of both eyes being focused simultaneously on an object, one eye receives an impression inde- pendently of the other. The two inn pressions are communicated to the brain and the object is therefore seen twice. The infamed condition of and loss of energy in the brain centers from overdoses of alcohol also account for the staggering gait of an intoxi- cated man.-N. Y. World.

RAIN MAKING.

The Rock Island Road Making Arrange-
 ments to Conduct Further Experiments
 In That Line.
 TOPEKA, Kan, April s.-The Chicago, Rock Island X Pacific Railroad Co., has apparently not lost confidence in the ultimate successful demonstration of the rain making theories of Clayton E. Jewell, who has been conducting ex- periments throughout the arid belt in the west for three years. Last year the company fitted up three cars with complete laboratories designed for coaxing moisture from the clouds. The campaign met with indifferent success and the repeated failures reported at the close of the season shook public ture. The Rock Island officers, how ever, appear to have faith in the the ory, for they have ordered the con struction of three additional cars at their shops in Holton, that will be put into service together with the three that were in commission last season, making total of six. The company has interested the department of agri- culture at Washington in the enter prise to the extent that agents of the department will be sent out with the Kansas rainmaker this season to give the rain making method thorough scientific investigation with view to determining whether it is possessed of any actual merit.
