Private Electric Elevator.

A well known electrical authority
has pointed out that it is now as easy
and cheap to have an electric elevator
in a private house as in a large office
building. Stairs are literally a barbar-
ism to which women frequently owe
i'll health and to which many delicate
persons may attribute the deprivation
of the full enjoyment of their homes.
The cost of operating an electric ele-
vator in, say a tive-story house, max
ing fifty or sixty trips every day, will
not exceed So or 81 per month. The
devices for operating these elevators
have been so improved that ar invalid
or a child can manage them. The old
lever arrangement can be dispensed
with and the elevator ascends or de-
scends on the pressure of a button. 1t
will stop only at each floor and will
start only when the elevator door is
closed.

The H~eaIthiuess of Ynwning.

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 eistachian
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. 1t is
recommended that every person
should have a 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
mucous in the eustachian tubes are as
pir1ted.

THE TRAGEDY AT zzvzxmzv,

A dismal, dreary spot, an old fur
mace stack, upheld by the clasping ivy,
a row of decaying frame dwellings,,
surrounded by thickets of impenetra-
pie brier, the sterile fields around all
covered with second growth pines, and
this is Gainesville, in the Lycoming
valley, and for the evil that was done
there the place is accursed.
In the great iron boom of 1858 this
place "a taken by n Scotch-Irishman
named McCauley. 1t had originally
been a charcoal furnace and was
known as Folsom's. McCauley was a
t~ireless worker and well skilled in the
manufacture of iron, but he needed
capital, and was not very successful.
In his extremity he borrowed some
money of Richard Carter of Tamaqua.
president of the Anthracite bank, and
a man of large means.
McCauley was a widower, with one
daughter, a girl Of seventeen. He
built a neat cottage, and with the as
sistance of the daughter and a Welsh
woman named Morgan, began house
keeping, Mary McCauley, though not
handsome in face, had fine eyes, a
beautiful complexion and a wonder
full figure for her years. Her manners
were those of a woman of the world,
n she talked intelligently and well,
having but recently returned from an
English boarding school, where she
had become a great musician.
No doubt the girl rebelled against
her narrow, sordid surroundings. Ii
was a pitiable life for a woman of
culture and refinement, and she beg
ged her father to let her go out in the
world and make her living as Il teach
er. but he was coarse and hard. and
told her he could not spare her SER
vices nor go to any further expense.
One day a visitor came, who was re-
ceived by McCauley with servile def
II 1t vas his creditor, Richard
Carter. He was IN Englishman of
about forty, rather handsome, of the
f1orid, snowy type, genial and etfusive
in manner, but those who did business
with him knew that, at bottom. he
was hard and INSCRIPTIONS, while in
society he had been long since out
lawed, not only for his ostentatious
prodigacy, but for outspoken dispar-
agement of women in general. BY the
working class he was hated as a
harsh taSkmaster.
He was introduced to Mary McCau-
ley and made himself agreeable. as he
was intelligent and a good talker.

was a mass of gore the lower jaw was
simply hanging by a few Shreds, and
n of his hind legs was broken. The
Swede was backing slowly, holding in
his right hand a large hunting knife,
which every second he would plunge
to the hilt in the shoulder of his shay
gy foe. At one thrust of the Swede the
bear caught him fairly with a return
whack of his monstrous paw that
must have broken the mans arm, for
he quickly transferred the blade to his
left hand, and then gave back blow for
blow. as best he could. The end came
so suddenly that the horror-stricken
comrades of the doomed mar could
render no possible assistance. Even
had they started on n rum, they could
not have reached their friend in time,
and to risk a shot with a rifle would
have been just as dangerous to the
Swede as to the bear. Step by step

for Il position rs teacher. SO she en-
tered the Methodist seminary at Will
mington, Del, Carter passing as her
uncle. Here she became very intimate
with a Miss Smith, one of the teach
ers, and made the acquaintance of her
brother. He was at ice enamored,
proposed marriage and was accepted,
Carter being active in bringing the
affair about. Smith was an upright
man but not very well balanced, very
impulsive and eXcitable in character.
The wedding was quite a 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 e%Xultant. He
laughed at Smiths frenzy, and the
next moment was a dead man, a pis-

A Pin Machine,

Among the operative exhibits shown
in Machinery hall at the Cotton States
and International exposition is a pin
machine. 1t is in two parts. the first
of which makes pins and the second
sticks them In paper. This is done in
full view of the visitors. A slender
thread of brass wire is started in one
end of the machine. 1t is cut, pointed
and head put IN. and the completed
pin is dropped into a bath which
plates it with white metal. From this
receptacle the pins are dropped into a
sitter. which carries them rapidly to
the sticking machine. where they are
stuck in regular ows in the paper,
and a complete paper of pins is TUNED
ont. The mechanism of the machin-
cry is delicately elaborate, and it is
one of the most interesting exhibits in

Under the road law passed by the late
Connecticut legislature eighty towns
have applied to the state highway
commission for the authorized aid.
The state pays one-third of the cost,
the county one-third and the town one,
third. The appropriation is not equal
to the demands made OH it. The Con
necticut law differs from the New
Jersey in levying no special tax as
SesSment on the abutting property
holders, so that poorer Localities which
need the benefit most will not be de-
tered from applying for aid. By this
legislation Connecticut is brought into
line with New Jersey in the good-road
movement, and in advance Of New
York and Massachusetts, while Penn
sylvania, says the Philadelphia Press,
has no rating as a good road state,
having not yet made even a beginning.

A BEAR STORY.
Proof of the WfsdOm of the Hunters
Warming About Going in After
Bear Alone.

Proof of the wisdom of the Hunters
Warning About Going in After
Bear Alone.
A party of gold hunters started out
from San B~ernardino, some years ago,
to prospect the country to the north
and west of that mining camp. The
men in the party were old-timers, with
one or two exceptions. and among the
latter was a Swede, full of grit, who
stood nearly eve feet in his stock
ings. The Swede, however, whose fam
lily name was Franck was by no
means a tenderfoot, having dwelt some
time in Acton mining camps, and
boosted that "he had killed bar in his
day. and was afraid of mo four-foot-
ed critter that ever roamed the noun
tains.''
The party Of twelve were climbing a
steep mountain, darkness was coming
on, and prospects of a %supperless night
We're in view, when the ~seven-foOt
Scandinavian volunteered to push
ahead, in the hopes of securing an elk,
deer or mountain sheep. The foreign
er was a good shot with his rifle, and
his immense strength and powerful
physique rendered it extremely i'm
probable that he would find his match
in the timber ahead. The hunter dis
appeared and the others toiled on be-
hind, climbing the steep ascent weary
and footsore. At one place the road
wound around a steep precipice, the
sheer descent of the cut basaltic walls
on the left being something like 1000
feet. Far below the tops of giant pines
could be discerned but in the awful
depth they appeared like stunted
shrubs and bushes. Near the summit
and to the right the free land broad
ened or widened out, and this was GOV
cred with a dense growth Of willows
and stunted pines, from which proceed
ed the most awful grumblings and
bowls imaginable.
Just as the party appeared on the
top all at once out from the stubblC
came %retreating the big Swede, fol.
lowed by an enormous s%ilver-tip who
was driving him slowly backward to-
ward the edge of the precipice. The
man al bleeding badly, nearly all of
n side of his face being torn away,
the result of a wicked blow from the
huge paw of tn emonster. The bear
on tb, other hand, was quite as badly
