Late Saturday afternoon little fellow,
nephew of Mr.. A. M. Rook, attempted to
ride his tricycle. across the ice at East
Lake. The ice bore for quite distance
from the shore, but he ran over thin
portion and broke through. Harry E.
Marts was at Mrs. Cox's residence, and
hearing the boys cries hurried to the
place, and with the assistance of boy he
pulled the little fellow out with a clothes
line. He would have sunk below the ice
if it had not been for his tricycle. standing
upright and he standing on top of the
seat just kept his head above the water.

A PIACue of Rees

Some time ago it was announced
that bee farming had been taken up
at Gennevillers, one of the most loath-
some industrial suburbs of Paris. This
was treated as joke, but the news
is, our correspondent says. neverthe-
less true, and the project of the Seine
has just received a petition from the
inhabitants to abate the nuisance. The
bees live upon the sugar refineries of
the neighborhood, clearing away all
the dust on the roofs and even land
ing on the bare backs of the workmen.
1t has been stated by sugar refiner
that every hive in the neighborhood
carries away 20 shillings' worth of
sugar in a year from the factories. He
does not however, complain of this
loss, but of the irritation the perpet-
ual buzz inficts on the workmen.

Wait Till the Summer Comes.

A good story is related of a small
tradesman in Welsh town. A short
time ago large lake near the town
became frozen over for the first time
in many years, and large numbers of
people from a neighboring city came
over for the purpose of enjoying some
skating. AS this sport was a novelty
to the residents, they became also
DESTROYS of entering into it, and be-
sieged the local ironmonger for
skates.
Incredible as it may appear, this in
dividual had never heard Of such ar
ticles, but, disdaining to admit his ig-
norance, replied that he had not any
in stock. Wearied at last, however,
by repeated orders for skates he re-
marked to his wife:
MARY, we must lay in a stock of
these skates, for, look you, if there's
such a great demand for them now,
what will it be in summer when the
tourists come ?--Tit-Bits.

Fifty Per Cent in His Favor.

I came along to the gate of humble
cabin in town in Ala bama jest as an
old negro handed a couple of jugs to
his son, who was about ten years of
age, and said:
"Now, Julius, yo' gwan down to the
grocery an git quart of 'lasses in one
OBJ dem jugs an hurry back
When the boy had gone l said to the
father:
'You didn't tell him to get anything
IN the other jug. Is he going to leave
it at the grocery"
mo, sah-gwan to bring it right
back home," he replied.
But why send two jugs to get a
quart of molasses?'
Its jess dis way, sab. If he only
took one jug he'd be powerful suah to
bump it or drap it an lose de 'lasses.
If he takes two he's jess as liable to
drap de empty one as de 'lasses one,
an dat makes de odds IN my favor.
Anything else yo'd like to ak about,

A New Electric tricycle.,

Charles II. Burrows of Willimantic,
Conn, has invented an electric car
rage which he is confident is the most
practical yet made. 1t is built in the
form of a tricycle., the forward wheel
being the driving wheel, This wheel
is constructed with two rubber-tired
rims, between which is what CORE
spends with the sprocket in the bicy-
Gle. The electric motor is carried In a
box over the driver, and is connected
with 1T by sprocket chain. The pow
er is stored in a battery between the
two rear wheels. and is carried to the
motor by flexible wires. A seat capa-
BILE Of carrying from one to three per-
sons is over the small rubber or pneu-
matte tire wheels. The guiding device
is similar to that of the ordinary bicy-
Gle. The frame is Of the bicycle style,
and strong enough to do the work.

A Paralytic Cured.
His Grandfather: a Revolutionary Sol
dier' and His Father, Both Died of
Paralysis, Yet the Third Gener-
alton Is Cured The Method

(F'rom the Herald, Boston, Mass.)
Like thunderbolt from a. clear skv.
a stroke OF paralysis came to Mr.. Frank
=. Ware, the well known Boston auc-
Iloneer and appraiser, at 235 Washing
ION street. He went to bed one night
apout SIX years ago seemingly in robust
health. When he awoke his left side
was stiffened by the deadening of the
nerves: The interviewer sought out Mr..
ware to get the facts. He gave the in
terest1ng particulars in his own way:
Inc hrst shock came very suddenly
Wnl1e was asleep, but it was not last
ing In its effects, and in a few weeks
was able to be about. A few months
after, when exhausted by work and
drenched with rain I went home in
very nervous state. The result was a
second and more severe shock, after
which my left arm and leg were prac-
tically helpless.
MY grandfather, who was a soldier
IN the Revolutionary War, and lost an
arm in the struggle for American indie
pendence, died finally Of paralysis. My
rather also died of paralysis, although
IL was complicated with other troubles,
ana so L had some knowledge of the IA
tai character Of the disease which is he
redltary In our family. After the Sec
ono shock l took warning, for, in all
probability, third would carry me off.
Almost everything under the sun was
recommended to me and I tried all the
remedies that seemed likely to do any
good, electricity, massage and special
lists, but to no effect.
THE only thing I found that helped
me was DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and I
verify believe that If it hadn't been for
those pills I would have been dead
years ago.
Yes, still have a slight reminder Of
the last attack six years ago. My left
arm is not as strong as the other and my
lett foot drags little, as the paralysis
had the effect Of deadening the nerves.
But 1 can still walk good distance,
talk as easily as ever, and my general
health is splendid. I am really over sew
enty years old, although I am generally
taken to be twenty years younger.
THE Pink Pills keep my blood in good
condition, and I believe that is why I
am so WELL
Mr.. Ware has every appearance of
perfectly healthy man, and arrives at
his office promptly at eight o'clock ev-
cry morning, although he has reached
an age when many men retire from
active life. He says that in his
opinion both his father and grandfather
could have been saved if Pink Pills had
been obtainable a that time.

pie contain all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood
and restore Shattered nerves. They may

DR.. Franl11in's Idea Carried Out by
French Scientist

DR.. Franklin's Idea Carried Out by a
French Scientist.
The experiments just completed in
France by d'Arsonal on the electrical
discharge of the electric eel, the ma
lapterurus, and several other fishes,
serve to recall a most interesting let
ter now in the possession of the cleo
trical department of Armour Institute
written August II, 1772, by Benjamin
Franklin to an English scientist, dur
ing Franklin's second mission to Eng
land as the agent Of the House of
Representatives Of Massachusetts
Bay. On the back of the letter was
inscribed: "Franklin's instructions to
try if the stroke of the torpedo be
electrical.' The contents run thus:
1t has long be supposed that the
stroke given by the torpedo was the
effect of sudden violent muscular mo-
ton. 1t is now suspected to be an eff
feet of the electric or some similar sub
tie fluid when that fish has the power
of acting upon and agitating at pleas
ure. 10 discover whether it be the
effect of subtil fluid, or of muscu-
lar motion, let the fish be touched
with the usual conductors of electri-
city, viz: Iron, or other metals; and
with the known non-conductors, dry
wood, glass, wax, etc. II the stroke
be communicated thro' the first and
not the latter, there is 50 far similar
itv with the electric fluids, and at the
same time proof that the stroke is
not an effect Of mere muscular mo-
tiOn''
instructions are given to ''let a num-
Der of. persons stand on the ground
join hands, and one touch the fish, so
as to receive the stroke. If all feel it.
then let him be laid with his belly on
! the plate Of the metal; let one Of the
persons so joining hands touch that
plate, while the farthest from the
plate with a rod Of metal touch the
back Of the fish; and then, observe
whether the force of the stroke seems
to be the same to all in the circuit as
it was before, or stronger" The let
ter concludes with further tests for
determining whether the back and
belly Of the fish are at the time Of the
stroke in different states of electricity.
The remarkably prompt and vicious
muscular twist which the electric eel
has the power to impart to those who
come in contact with it must have
been convincing to the heroic expert
mentors, even if the results had not
fully satisfied Franklin as to the ma
ture of the shock. D'Arsonyal has
now determined exactly what the
strength of the current from the cleo
trio eel is. He took a torpedo about a
foot i'll diameter and provoked it hy
pressing it's fin. The shock given was
found to be 8 amperes. with an cleo
! tro-motive force of twelve volts The
current Illuminated some incandescent
lamps, and excited an induction coil,
making it yield several inches long.
There were ten discharges, which sue

To Preserve Trees From Moths.

A tree-planting expert says that it
will be entirely the fault of the people
OF any community if their trees are
devastated by caterpillars as badly
next year as they have been in many
places within the last few months.
The tussock moth has done most of
the mischief in Eastern states. In the
North it has been single blooded this
year; in the South it was double-blood-
ed. 1t any more caterpillars appear
IN any district this season they should
be promptly destroyed. If they should
show up in great numbers the trees
should be sprayed With London pur-
pie, not stronger than one-fourth of a
pound to fifty gallons Of water, or the
leaves may suffer. During the fall
ana winter all the masses of eggs
from trees, fences, houses, etc., should
De gathered and destroyed, and all de-
caylng and unnecessary trees should
be removed particularly where many
eggs are found. The trees that have
too thick a growth should be pruned
and their dead branches cleared out,
particularly in the case of naples.
Many of their branches have been
killed by the maple scale of several
years ago, and by the borings of the
leopard moth of this year. The tus-
sock moth has utilized these sheltered
places by spinning in them the cocoon
which contains it's eggs. In the mean
time, make preparations for next
spring, and if the moth appears in any
place: spray the trees with London pur-
pile. Remove all cotton bands. They
hre unsightly; and in many places con.
ceal the eggs.
