Rlskeo LIFE AND LOST.
The Man Who Permitted Doctors to Bore
Into His Stomach.

Ferdinand Pietrich, the man who sold
himself to South American surgeons, is
dead. Here is the story: Last August q
man named Obaldeston advertised in
the New York papers for man who
would consent to go down to Guayaqull,
Ecuador, and there submit to an expert
mental operation by two South Amer
lean doctors. Osbaldeston acted as agent
for those physicians. 1t was illustrative
of the hard times that more than 100
answers We're received.
The operation i'll question was simply
an incision in the stomach, through
which the action of the gastric juices
might be observed. The cavity thus
made was about the size of "a hazel nut.
Tubes of gold and silver were inserted,
and through these the nourishment TAX
ell by the patient was forced, the digest
i've process being marked by the aid OF
an electric light. Incidental to the oper-
alton certain chemical substances We're
administered to the patient through the
tube to ascertain positively the action OF
drugs in combination with each other
Among the 1870 persons who answered
the advertisement was well knit, pow
erful looking fellow who had been a
sailor He was about 5 feet 8 inches in
height, weighed about 1870 pounds,
looked hard and why and was active as
a cat Osbaldcston decided that he
would do. His name was Ferdinand
Pietrich. The first week i'll September
Pietrich sailed for Guayaquil. There
for four or five weeks he remained un-
der medical care in preparation for the
ordeal, and it was the second or third
week i'll October before the chief sur
geon DR.. Adele Ajaico ventured TO per-
form the operation.
Osbaldeston has received information
that the operation had been completely
successful and that the patient was on
the road to recovery when he took to
drink. Under these conditions it became
necessary to stop the treatment for
time, and in this interval Pietrich while
sitting on the battlements of a fortress
one morning was sunstruck and died
within two hours. He was alone in the
world, and it does not appear that he
ever received the money for which he
had risked his life or in fact anything
beyond his travelling expenses. New

COWED BY A REDHOT IRON.
Lioness Victoria Was Then Whipped, ant
Her Mate Nero Did His Tricks.


A few persons saw a thrilling exhibi-
ton at the London ZOO before the regu
lar performance began the other after
noon. Mile Beatrice, who was recently
bitten III the face by the lion Nero, went
into his cage for the first time since
then. Nero was i'll an ugly temper and
his mate, Victoria, when the woman
tanner stepped upon the steps leading
into the cage, sprang against the door
and remained i'll front of it with up
lifted paw and mouth wide open.
Mile. Beatrice tried to drive the lion
ess back with whip, but Victoria bit
and struck at the whip and roared with
squarely in her mouth by Mile. Bea-
trice intensified the brute's rage.
Manager Francis Ferreri then brought
an iron bar redhOt at one end. A touch
of this had the desired effect, and Vic
tOria withdrew to the other end of the
cage, and Mile Beatrice entered. She
whipped the lioness severely. Nero
roared, but he was as much i'll fear OF
the hot iron as Victoria. Half "a dozen
attendants covered the two hons with
revolvers loaded with ball cartridges
while Mile. Beatrice made Nero go
through his tricks. She omitted the kiss
ing act, in the performance of which she
was bitten three weeks ago, She will
always carry the scars of that bite. Nero
is years old and always appeared per
fectly docile until his attack upon Mile.

HYPHENATEO NAMES.

some Are Genuine, Others Simply Stand
For Snobbery-How to Distinguish.
Hvphenated names in Europe may be
divided into two overwhelmingly,
those wherein the hyphen is mere piece
If snobbery and affectation, and those
wherein it is consequent upon legal
obligation The latter are i'll the minor

they are men who have married helresses
and been accepted as husbands for the
latter on the condition that they should
append the family name of their wives
to their own patronymic.
People in the other category, who use
the hyphen merely with the object OF
creating the impression that they are OF
more ancient lineage than is really the
case, invariably prefix, instead of APP
pending, the additional name, and it is
this that enables one to distinguish the

his paternal grandfather i'll order to find
out that the old gentleman was simple
Jones, devoid Of the aristOcratic PonsOn-
by, whereas i'll the case of surnames
adopted in Difference to testamentary
dispositions one will invariably find on
inquiry that the paternal grandfather
and ancestors bore the first of the two
patronymics.
The persons who make use Of hyphen-
ated names without being compelled to
do So are usually the owners Of patro-
nymics overwhelmingly plebeian, who
hope, vainly, it is true, to redeem the
commonplace character of their name by
prefxing thereto one calculated, they
trust, to create the impression that they

THE CHlLO'S PRAYER.

Into her chamber went
little maid one day,
And by n chair she Anolt
And thus began to pray
"Jesus my eyes close;

A still small voice she heard within her soul

She thought she felt a soft hand press her own.
They tell me, Lord that all
The living pass away;
The aged soon must die,
And even children may.
Oh, let my parents live
Till | woman grow,
For if they die. what can
A little orphan dor"
Gear not, my child. Whatever ills may come
III not forsake thee till bring thee home"
Her little prayer was said,
And from her chamber now
She passed forth with the light
OF heaven upon her brow.
"Mothcr I've seen the Lord,
His hand in mine felt,
And, OH heard him say
As by my chair lsnelt
Fear not, my child Whatever ills may come
I'll not forsake thee till bring thee home.

RUMSeY'S STEAMBOAT.
Records Which Show That 1t Annotated

Records Which Show That 1t Annotated
Fulton's Product by Twenty-Five Years.
The records of jefferson county, W.
Va, prove what is not generally known
that Robert Fulton was not the first
man to build a steamboat i'll this cOun-
try. He was anticipated over % years
by James Rumsey of Charleston, Va,
now West Virginia. RunSey's steam
boat was partly constructed i'll Frederick
with machinery partly manufactured at
a furnace called THE Cococtin Fur
mace, owned by Johnson Brothers, and
located near the town of Frederick,
The two cylinders, the boiler, pumps,
pipes, etc, We're built in Baltimore,
Part Of the work was done at the old
Antietam Iron works. Rumsey's boat
was so feet i'll length, and it was pro
! PEELED by an engine which worked a
vertical pump placed i'll the center OF the
vessel The water was drawn in at the
bow and forced out at the stern through
a horizontal pipe. The entire weight of
the machinery was go pounds, and
the tonnage Of the vessel was three tons.
The entire machinery, including the
boiler, etc, took up space of very lit
tie over feet square.
The first public experiment took place
ON the Potomac river on March Il, 1886,
when the boat showed a speed of four
miles an hour up stream The records of
Jefferson county also show that George
Washington and Governor Thomas John
son of Maryland We're among the pat
rons Of Rumsey and that the experiment
was made in the interest of the then
proposed Chesapeake and Ohio canal. -

THE BIGGEST WHEEL.
The English Are to Build One That VIII
Surpass the Ferris.

The English Are to Build One That VIII
Surpass the Ferris.
English writers just now are gloatlng
over the fact that the great wheel which
is now being built at Earl's court ac-
cording to the plans of Lieutenant j.
w. Graydon is to be considerably larger
than the Ferris wheel which was shown
at the Worlds fair in Chicago. The
British wheel will be 800 feet III diane
fer. whereas the Ferris wheel measured
only 300 feet across. 1t will be able to
hold l, 500 persons and the Ferris wheel
could accommodate only 1868 at a
time.
The big wheel at Earl's court is also
different from the Ferris wheel Ill re-
spect to the towers which support the
axle on each side of the wheel. They
will be over 40 feet high, and four
stories will contain saloons and VIII be
connected with outside elevators as well
as staircases. The steel axle, when Is
seven feet in diameter, will have pas
sage through it.
OF course it is expected that the
masses in London will avail themselves
of this opportunity to enjoy a new recre-
alton. The carriages and cars will be SO
arranged that each one will hold 40 per-
sons and NAV be entered at eight dlHer-
ent places. Each turn OF the wheel WI" VIII
take about 20 minutes, and there VIII
be five stops. The wheel Will be propa-
bly, in operation some time III July Oh
August.

Both Died In Jerusalem.

Monk Gerbert, who assembled the papal
throne under the title of Sylvester H.
anticipating Roger Bacon, made a
bronze head, which, like that owned by
the reputed inventor of gunpowder, was
capable of answering him like an oracle
From this head he learned that he would
not die until he performed mass at Jeru-
salem, and so he determined to live for.
ever, by taking especial care not to go to
the Holy City. Unfortunately Gerbert
soon found that brazen heads, like other
Juggling fiends, "but keep the word of

hope, " for one day he was taken serious
ly i'll Just after he had celebrated mass

church he heard, much TO his dismay
that it was popularity known as "Jeru-
salem" and he died in great agony a
few hours afterward. Five hundred
wears after this Master Robert Fabian
gives us the story of the death of King
Henry ", and tells us how that i'll his
youth it had been prophesied that he
would die in Jerusalem, and that the
prophecy, as in the case of Gerbert, was

The Foundation Stone Of Success.

The one great rule of business is that
of honesty, absolute and unqualified
honesty, writes Edward W Box in The
Ladies' Home Journal All the rules of
business are worthless if they are not
founded on that one and only founda-
ton stone to true commercial success
Honesty is not alone the best policy in
business. 1t is the one and only policy.
Upon it, and upon it alone, can good
reputation be built and IA man in bust
ness without a reputation for honesty
might just as well stop, Any deviation
from the rule of honesty i'll business may
bring temporary gain, but it invariably
means permanent loss. On the other
hand, strict adherence to an honest
policy may mean temporary loss, but
it is sure to result i'll permanent gain

A PECULIAR CASE.
PUZZLED IN THE
CASE OF MRS. BOWEN.
The Episcopal Hospital Said She Had
Consumption and Gave Her Proofs
in standardization.

The Episcopal Hospital Said She Had
Consumption and Gave Her Proofs
in SubstantiatiOn.
From the Record, Philadelphia, Pa
Last July the Episcopal hospital adj
mitted a woman whose pale and ENACT
ated face and racking cough proclaim
ed her the victim of consumption. She
gave her name as Mrs. Sallie Il.
Bowen, wife of VIM. q. Bowen, resi-
dence 1849 Meighan Street, Phila-
delphia. The case was diagnosed and
she was told plainly that she was in
an advanced stage of consumption. The
examining physician even showed her
the sunken place in her breast where
the cavity in her lung was supposed to
exist She went home to her family
broken, disheartened woman with
death staring her in the face. That
was the beginning of the story. The
end was told by Mrs. Bowen, who no
visited her home.
1.-The first symptoms of consumption
came i'll the form of terrible sweats,
both night and day. From April until
September / was constantly cold and
kept wrapped up in blankets through
the hottest weather. A terrible cough
took possession of me, my breats were
sore to the slightest touch, and my
limbs were like cold clay. The hard
est rubbing with the coarsest towel
would not create the slightest flush,
and the least exertion would SO exhaust
me that | could barely gasp for water.
q went to the hospital in July and
they diagnosed my case as above stated.
1t was when the clouds were the dark
est that the first CLINT of sunshine came
Mr.. Shelmerdine, friend who lives
around at 1914 Clementine street, said
to me one day, Mrs. Bowen, did you
ever try DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People,? | had never heard of
the medicine, but i'll my condition
could not turn a deaf ear to anything
that offered relief. 1t was after con-
siderable thought and investigation
that | concluded to discontinue all the
medicine | was taking, including cod
liver oil, and depend entirely upon
Pink Pills. | began to take the pills,
at first with but little encouragement.
The first sign of improvement was Il
warmth and tingling sensation i'll my
limbs. Finally the cough disappeared,
my chest lost it's soreness and | began
to gain flesh until | was fifteen pounds
heavier. All this | owe to DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills, and | cannot praise
them too highly
Mrs. Bowen is a kindly faced lady
of middle age, a" church member well
known and highly esteemed. She
looks today we'll and strong, and it
seems almost impossible that she was
ever given up by eminent physicians as
all incurable consumptive Yet such
is the case beyond all dispute.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists, or may be had by mail
from DIR. Williams Medicine Com
pany, Schenectady, N. Y, for SOC per

Agricultural Attaches to Be Sent by Flu
 ropean Governments.
 Several of the European governments have decided to send to their embassies or legations in this country what they term agricultural attaches {" Such an attaehe will be expected to keep his home government informed not only as to crop conditions, prospects and prices in the United States at regular intervals, but also to keep his people posted as to progress in all agricultural methods and improvements from time to time.
 Germany is the first to send an at tache of this sort who arrived i'll Wash ington few days ago. His name is Beno Reinhardt Freiherr von Herman. He is a baron, although an agricultur- ist, so that he will no doubt be welcome into official society this winter despite his long name.
 It is understood that both the Eng fish and French governments will soon follow the example of Germany and send an agricultural attache to their embassies here, and Secretary Morton now thinks that it might be wise on the part of our government to return the compliment by sending some of our most practical and successful farmers abroad i'll place of the few military and naval attaches who presumably adorn the diplomatic service of the United States.
