A Humble Hero

When one hears of medals awarded
Tor bravery one naturally thinks Of
soldiers, sailors, firemen or perhaps in
rare instances of an engineer. But this
year the Royal Humane society has Sc
lected as recipient for the bravest deed
medal, awarded annually from fund
left for that purpose, a workman in the
sewers.
His name is William Muckford and
he lives in Torquay, England. He and
three other Workmen were in sewer
which was flooded by sudden thun-
derstorm. Muckford, by sheer strength
and patient endurance, held up two Of
his companions for seven hours and
thus saved their lives.

A deep flush stole over her face at
these words; he watched it for one
delicious moment, and then gathered
her up in his arms, exclaiming:
II will bring them back If you will
pay the reward l want
Then-or, rather, after he had tor
tured her Impotence mercilessly-he
told her of Fred's Bargain bought at
auction. She begged for it, coaxed,

happy wedding party it was, too.

ranged. The woman begged and
pleaded with her to leave home at
once, but Mary replied that it was too
late, and so they parted. Next morn
ing Carter came with fine carriage,
and Mary, without a parting word to
any, left her home for future of IN
paralleled shame and disaster.
For a month McCauley did no work,
wandering about plrposeless, speak
ing to none, and at the end of that
time was found dead at his home, his
head reclining on the table. He was
buried in field back of the furnace,
left no estate, and Gainesville, as it
was locally known, went to desolation
and decay as it is now.
In three months Carter became tired
OF his victim, and urged her to qualify
for a position as teacher So she en-
tered the Methodist seminary at Will
mington, Del, Carter passing as her
uncle. Here she became very intimate
with Miss Smith, one of the teach
ers, and made the acquaintance of her
brother. He was at once enamored.
proposed marriage and was accepted
Carter being active in bringing the
affair about. Smith was an upright
man but not very we'll balanced, very
impulsive and excitable in character
The wedding was quite social affair.
Two months after, the wife, despair
ing of further concealment, told her
husband all. He fairly went out Of
his mind, and on the 4th of November,
1857, sought Carter at the st. Law
renee hotel ,on Chestnut, above Tenth.
Carter had just made a profitable deal
in coal lands. and felt exultant. He
laughed at Smiths frenzy, and the
next moment was a dead man, a pis-
tol ball fairly dividing his heart
There was but one opinion-served
the protigate villain right. Smith was
tried and. acquitted, but never re,

: A celebrated Belgian physician says
that yawning is an exceedingly
healthful function generally, besides
having a very salutary effect in COM
plants of the pharnyx and eustachian
tubes. According to the results of late
Investigations, yawning is the most
natural form of respiratory exercise.
bringing into action all the respiratory
muscles of the chest and neck. It is
recommended that every person
should have good yawn, with
stretching of the limbs, morning AMI
evening, with the purpose Of ventilat-
ing the lungs and .tonifying the mus
cles Of respiration. An eminent au-
says that patients suffering from dis
orders of the throat have derived
great benefit from it. He makes his
patients yawn, either by suggestion,
imitation, or by a series of full breaths
With the lips partly closed. The
yawning is repeated six or eight
times, and should be followed by swal-
lowing. By this means the air and
mucus in the eustachian tubes are as.
Dirated.

Machine for Neasur1ng Lengths OF
Wire

A wire measuring machine has been
constructed for the use Of wire manu-
facturers, contractors and others who
may require to keep constant check
on the quantity of wire or cable paid
out or reeled in. It consists of a
strong but light steel wheel, mounted
on a cast-iron frame, and having a
fine worm wheel. This drives q train
Of clockwork connecting with the
hands Of the dials. which indicate
units, tens and thousands Of feet or
yards or meters, according to require
ments. To prevent error due to slip
ping, there is small roller on the top
of the wheel upon which the length to
be measured runs. This roller presses
the wire or cable on to the Wheel
This machine should prove Of great
convenience. as by means Of it cables
and wires can be automa tically IDEAS
ured during or after process of manu-
facture, or before being sent out for O.
temporary task. as we'll as after they
are returned. Adjustable contacts can
be fitted to the dials to ring bell
when the desired length has passed.

Telephones for Railway Passen-er,

Telephones for Railway PASSENGER,
A telephone attachment for railway
use has been introduced which will
greatly increase the safety of railroad
travel. At present the device is de-
signed only for communication be-
tween the conductors and the nearest
station, but the intention is to so mod
ify it that it can be used by passen-
gers trvellng on express trains. BY
this arrangement the telephone can be
called into requisition by the train dis
patcher in addition to the telegraph
dlspatching wires, while, on the 9TH
er hand, the dispatcher can be called
by any station OF block along the line
in a second. An ingenious part Of the
equipment is what is called q hanging
set, which is to be carried in every car
and caboOse. Should the train come
to a standstill through a block,
wreck OF any other interruption, the
hanging set, consisting of spliced rods
Oh two wires on the pole line along
side the track. This gives as perfect
connection as if the telephone were in
a private Office, and it will work along
every foot of a railway line In case
of wreck the telephone is instantly
available, the dispatcher is Called and
orders are sent direct to the spot in
return.
