or Great strength.

An interesting article was published
In Paris paper recently regarding
the weight which human hair from
the human head can support. Hairs y
says the author, have a force Of re-
sistance hard to believe unless one has
convinced himself by experiments.
Bichat does not fear to say that moth
ing else, not even excepting fibrous
tissue, can support so large a weight
In proportion to its volume. Grellier,
who shares this opinion, has estimated
that single hair can carry weight Of
1,O34 decigrams more than n hundred
grams). According to Richter, blonde
hair can bear more than six ounces,
and black one still more. One can
thus appreciate the great strength Of
the rope which the Carthaginians made
of their hair.

The Department Of Agriculture has re-
ceived from its agent at Berlin q state'
ment of the imports of agricultural and
other products into Germany. 1t shows
that during the first six months of 1896
the following percentages of the total i'm
ports of the German Empire of the arti-
cles specified were obtained from the Uni
ted States: Cotton. so per cent; wheat,
10; maize, SO; grass and timothy seed, 10;
dressed beef, 80; oil cake, 33, and lard
lanelin, 03.n Accompanying the statement
are copies of the quarantine and prohibi-
tion regulations now in force In the Ger
man Empire in regard to the importation
of live stock whether for import or tran
sit only) and fresh meat. These regula-
tions are of importance in view of the
stringent measures governing importa-
|, tions from this country. The importa-
tion Of cattle and fresh beef is prohibited.
4 The provincial presidents Of the German
Government may order horses and sheep
imported from the United States to be
held at the landing place for observation

High Rates OF interest.

Many governments In good credit can
borrow money at 3 per cent, or even
less. When security cannot be given,
or when credit is not good, the rate ex-
acted Of private borrowers is much
higher. A case has been found in Lon
don where interest was paid on short
loans at q rate which would amount to
five thousand two hundred per cent q
year.
A Mr.. Moon, who has contributed an
article on the subject to an English re-
view, has made personal investigation
of the matter among the pawnbrokers
Of Whitechapel, London. These men
and women are regarded by the wretch
edly poor people about them as phil
anthropists rather than usurers.
An act Of Parliament permits these
pawnbrokers to collect on all loans of
two shillings or less an interest Of at
least half penny a month. This appears
very reasonable to the poor people Of
Whitechapel; but many loans Of six
pence are made, and as in the case Of
sixpence loans no time longer than q
week is ever given for payment, and as
the half-penny Is always collected the
same as for a month, the rate on these
little loans amounts to what would be
equal to four hundred per cent a year.
But the way In which this sort of
usury may be carried very much fur
ther is described in Mr.. Moons narra-
ton. A pawnbroker said to him:
There's things here, sir, that don't
stay here not day. Last winter wo-
man brought me in one evening a chiid's
pair Of shoes, and lent her sixpence
on them.
"Next morning very early in she
comes, sir, with bed coverlet. 1t must
have Just come Off the bed, for 1t was
as warm as could be to the hands. 1
lent her sixpence on it, and with that
sixpence and half-penny that she
brought with her, she took the child's
shoes out of pawn and went away
with them.
"'Now then,' says she, the little 'un
can go to school,
"And in the evening back she comes
again with the child's shoes once more,
and puts 'em up for sixpence, and gets
the coverlet and pays her half-penny
on that, and goes away with that to
sleep under for the night
"And that she kept up, sir, day after
day and night after night, until the
mild weather came again, and a cover
let on a bed wasn't no longer neces-
sary."
This woman was really paying inter-
est, therefore, at the rate Of a hundred
per cent. a week, or fifty-two hundred
per cent. q year.

TO ETERNITY BY DYNAMITE.
Five Killed and Three Injured in an
Iowa Hamlet.

One hundred and twenty-five pounds
of dynamite was exploded Sunday morn
ing at Specht's Ferry, ten miles north of
Dubuque, Iowa, with tremendous roar
and shock, which was felt like trem-
bling caused by an earthquake. Five per-
sons were killed and three terribly in
jured at the scene Of the explosion. The
injured persons were brought to Du-
buque and taken to hospital soon after
the accident The dead are: Hans
Bjornstad, of La Crosse, Wis: Edward
Latshaw, of Victory, Wis; Mrs. Edward
Latshaw. Ray Latshaw, II years old;

Latshaw was subcontractor engaged i'm

were within 100 feet of the building con-
tanning the explosive. He was exceed

VICTORY FOR DEFENDER.
American Boat Captures the First of

the Cup Contests.
The American yacht Defender defeat
ed the Valkyrie in the first of the cup con-
tests, Saturday, making the run Of fifteen
miles to windward and back in the excel
lent time of hours 80 minutes 90 Sec
onds, beating the Britisher by 8 minutes
40 seconds. The victory of the Defender
is the subject of almost general jubilation,
everyone being pleased with it except the
subjects of her Majesty resident here
for the time being and some of the chap
pies who turn their trousers up at the
bottom because its sloppy weather in
London, don'tcher know" A great many
are inclined to think that the Britisher
isn't in it, in tn hunt after the cup, but
others more cautious and conservative
regard her with great deal of respect.
They remember that when the race was
started there was only about a six-knot
breeze blowing, and that she went
through the water like a ghost under its
mild impetus. They also remember that
1t is said that her best point of sailing is
running free before the wind with her
spinnaker set. She had no such wind Sat
urday, and some are inclined to think if
she had the result might have been diff
ferent. The great mass of yachtsmen,
however, think that the Defender is her
superior in any wind that will insure a
thirty mile course being covered within
six hours, the time limit.

Better than Taking q City.

What in an ordinary mortal would
pass for bit Of decent behavior is often
taken for an act Of extraordinary and
shining virtue when it is performed by
some great man, say king or an en-
perOr. If such potentate, In old times,
at least, got angry without cutting off
somebody's head, he was esteemed q
model Of gentleness and forbearance!
An emperor Of the dynasty of the
Liangs, according to a Chinese writer,
was out shooting one day, and saw a
flock of ducks settle in field not far
ahead of him. Like President Harri-
son and President Cleveland, as it ap-
pears, this Chinese emperor was par
ticularly fond Of killing ducks, though
he was obliged to do it with bow and
arrow instead of shotgun. In the
present case he stepped forward, drew
his bow and was just ready to let fly,
when a peasant happened to cross the
field directly between him and the
birds.
The royal attendants cried out to him,
but meantime the ducks took alarm and
were off. The emperor was very angry
and vowed he would shoot the peasant.
Then one of his ministers did brave
and noble thing.
"Your majesty" said he, ''do not kill
man because game is wanting. A
king must not be as savage as the beast
that he hunts"
1t was excellent advice; and the best
part of the story Is that the emperor
accepted it, and neither shot the peas
ant nor cut off his minister's head. He
recovered from his anger, and when he
reached his palace. he said:
81 have had very successful day, for
instead of bringing home a good bag I
have had good lesson"

Appliance Which Gives Practical
Utility to the PhonOgraph.
G. v. Gress, capitalist, and George w.
Moore, engineer, of Atlanta, Ca, have
just completed deal with the Edison
Company, by which an appliance invented
by Moore has been purchased. There Is
a combination of ten or more cylinders,
working automatically, so added to the
phonograph as to make it capable of re-
ceiving any number of letters In dictation
or Of playing an indefinite number of
musical selections. 1t can be attached
to monographs already constructed. Edi-
sons manager, Gilmore, is quoted as say
ing that the attachment is the only thing
that could possibly place the phonograph
before the world in any sort of practical
shape. The idea of the inventor is that
this will be specially valuable in large
Offices, where hundreds of letters are
sent out daily.

A Galloway FlatI.

The Gallovidians Of old had q re-
markabie war weapon known as the
Galloway fail. 1t seems to have been
indigenous to this corner Of Scotland,
and in the traditions Of the province
1t occupies a prominent place. The
tide of battle has been turned on more
than one occasion by the skillful mani
pulation of the Galloway fail. The
handstaff was tough ash sapling
about FIVE feet in length, and the soople,
the part for striking the barn floor when
threshing, was made Of iron, about
four feet long, with three joints, equi-
distant from each other. No swords
men could Withstand an attack with
the fall One stroke would shiver the
sword to pieces and leave the unfortu-
nate individual at the mercy Of his op-
ponent. Then the soople with Its iron
joints would encircle It's victim and
crush him just as boa constrictoR
would.
