Lifted a 75O-Pound Hammer.

All over Southern New Jersey Will
lam Stiles was known as the Jersey
Samson" At the time of his death at
Cape May few days ago he was 70
years old, yet even at that age he could
lift things that much younger man
could only bulge. Stiles was one of the
expert boatmen of the Cape coast. In
times of peril and heavy seas he was
always placed in command of the life
boat.
AS an instance of Stiles strength it is
told of him that few years before the
outbreak Of the rebellion, when leading
Southerners frequented the hotels Of
that resort, athletic sports were often
held for the amusement of the visitors.
One young southerner, who lowered 9
feet in his stockings, had entered a
strong mans" competition. He walk
ed easily with objects weighing 300
pounds. then he did better by picking
up a 55O-pound weight and carrying II
100 feet.
Stiles watched these performances
without saying word. Then the
Southerner, to "cap the climax" grasp
ed full 6O0-pound weight and carried
it thirty yards. Flattered by cheers
from the girls. he raised his voice and
dared any one present to equal his feat.
Stiles walked from his obscure position
past the heaviest object that had yet
been lifted, and on to the beach beyond,
where there was an anchor weighing
75O pounds. took off his coat, stopped
down. grasped the anchor. bore it to
his shoulder and carried it 100 yards
along the beach. Cheers rose that
drowned the breakers roar. The South
erner walked up to Stiles. stretched out
his hand and acknowledged that this
was superior muscle.

y A curious spectacle is seen when a
series of photographs used in a kineto-
scope is reversed. For example, a
drinker takes up an empty glass and
replaces it full upon the table; smoker
sees the stump of a cigar flying at him
from the floor, takes it to his mouth
and sees the smoke originate in the
room, draws it into his mouth and into
his cigar, which is gradually lengthen-
ed and finally replaced in the pocket.
A wrestler, who has probably thrown
away his garments, is recovered with
them by their, so to speak, walking up
on him in their places, while he himself
performs motions of which he can I'M
derstand nothing, because we never
saw these most ordinary motions per-
formed backwards; man, for instance,
seated at table before an empty plate,
works hard taking bite after bite from
his mouth, until the chicken is whole
again on the dish before him, and the
side dishes are also returned full to
T. cir respective places.

An Iowa physician has demonstrated
to his own satisfaction that a man who
has been struck by lightning can be re-
vived by a second application of the
same agency. His patient was a man
who had been unconscious for twenty
minutes from a stroke in a recent storm
and who revived at once when he re-
ceived a charge from a galvanic bat
terry. The difficulty In many cases will
be that the victim Of lightning will
think he has been killed and therefore
be unequal to the effort required to
reach point where he can get struck
again or even receive the recupera ting
current from battery. 1t remains to
be proven also that the patient Of the
Iowa physician was not ready to revive
In the ordinary way at the time the
battery was applied. The theory is fas-
cinating, even if incredible, and some
further experiments will be awaited
with interest.

diagonal strapping with steel to insure
high buildings against destruction by
possible Whirlwinds. It is said that
the buildings Of the modern type which
were touched by the st. Louis tornado
escaped with comparatively light in
jury, but nobody has any idea as to
the strain to which they were subject
ed. Tornadoes are freaky phenomena,
and the st. Louis destroyer may not
have struck the steel frame buildings
with it's full energy. It seems certain
that should tornado strike huge
steel frame building it would strip of
the veneering at least; and it might do
far more, as the stories Of the havoc
caused by the tornadoes Of recent ex-
perience in the Southwest indicate that
the whirling storms have almost ire
sistible energy. Huge trees are twisted
off like twigs when tornadoes strike
them fully, and the toughest kind of tim
Der fails to resist this twisting and tear
ing action Of the elements. With such
twisting and lifting power tornado
would make plaything of tall build
ing after it had removed the facades
and gained an opportunity to work un-
der the floors of the many stories. But
anxiety in regard to this matter is
conjuring of remote trouble. Happl-
ly tornadoes do not strike large cities
frequently, and fortunately or unfor-
tunately, buildings Of all kinds are
on almost an equal footing when they
do come-all likely to be blown to
atoms in the twinkling Of an eye. AS
far as tornadoes are concerned the
jewellers in cities are at pretty much
the same risk, and in far more danger
than the possessor of a cyclone cellar
on the prairies who has time enough
to take header like gopher when
he perceives a tornado gyrating in his
direction.

American Horses Abroad.

something like 100000 horses are
shipped from this port every year." de-
clared a prominent horse dealer in this
city.
They go to all parts Of the world
and are used for all manner of pur-
poses. Some of them go to drag artil-
lery in the German army some to carry
cuirassiers in the French; others go to
draw the numbering London bus, and
others again serve the purpose Of
draught horses on the farms of all
the countries Of Europe"
While the 100000 figure, at which this
dealer set the export business, was
considered too high by several other
men in the trade. they all said that
from 1000 to 5000 month was GER
tainly not too high. and that some
months. when business was unusually
brisk, the number might well reach
1000.
The trade has been wonderfully
livoly since the trolley ears began to
come in" said another man who is up
to date in the horse world. When
the horse cars were superseded by troll
ley and cable lines the market was
flooded with horses of that sort They
were very cheap. an the demand for

LAWYERS will be interested in the dis
cussion of the subject of knockout"
questions 1t is something new IN
criminal trials or the phrase Is new.
"Knock- OUT questions are Invented
for the purpose Of testing the intelli-
gence of jurors or witnesses. Ii an
intelligent answer cannot be given the
witness or the juror, as the case may
be, is knocked out. In a recent case
in one of the New York courts this
question was placed before juror:
"In order to justify an inference of
legal guilt from circumstantial evil
dence the eXculpatory facts must be
absolutely incompatible with the in
nocence of the accused. What does
that convey to your mind?" 1t would
require a juror Of more than average
intelligence to give a clear answer to
this question, explaining the effect on
his intelligence and conscience of testi-
mony such as the question describes.
Questions framed for the sole purpose
of mystifying and disabling juror or
a witness are not in the interest Of JUS
Ilco. LII recent uluTucI tIldl Ill NEW
York hypothetical question contain
ing 5000 words was placed before an
alleged expert witness. A paragraph
of that volume would occupy three or
four columns Of type used for court re-
ports. No witness could give an in
telligible and trustworthy answer to
a question so involved and complicated.
No juror could understand an answer
to such a question, made up Of tech
nicalphraseda and supposititious rules of
science. The methods of civil and
criminal trials should be simplifed.
Testimony should be elected and de-
livered in clear and plain terms. Jul
rors should not be befogged and misled
by terms and phrases of which they
have but an obscure understanding.
The truth in it's plainest and most OBJ
vious forms should be the only test
of evidence. Jurors should not be re-
quired to solve enigmas in which the
merits Of civil or criminal case are
not involved the only purpose of which
is to mislead the intelligence.

QUEEN OF THE SILENT GAME
Miss Kate Whee1ock Acknowledged

Among the most interesting of all
delegates to the forthcoming meeting
of the American Whist League in New
York will be Miss Kate Wheelock, who
is well known in this city and the
Northwest generally as an expert at the
silent game. Miss Wheelock was the
first woman teacher of whist in this
country. There is only one other. She
is petite in figure, has regular features,
a fresh complexion, winning manner
and has prematurely gray hair. She
was born in Green Bay, Wis. Eleven
years ago, when the female interest in
whist became a fad in the West, she
lived in Milwaukee. While instructing
a number Of women the latter suggest
ed that as it took up so much Of Miss
Wheelock's time she ought to charge
fee. She did so. 1t opened mp new
business. 1t grew. So did the size of
her fees. AS her fame increased her
travels extended. Since then she has
visited nearly every city in the country,
remaining from four to six weeks in
each place. At present she has about
1000 whist pupils scattered all over
the country. Women as a rule do not
play as scientific a game as men, she
says, but the most scientific Of her
pupils are in the Hamilton Club of
Philadelphia. Eugene Elliott, founder

Coffee is now served out, and for fif-

Thibet's Picture Tree.

From time to time wonderful stories
have been circulated in Europe concern
ing a mysterious tree in Thibet, which
lures" Travellers have related that
on each leaf of this sacred tree, on the
branches and all over the trunk, are
letters of the Thibetan alphabet or re-
Igious pictures; it was even asserted
only short time ago that large sum
Of money had been offered for cutting
from this marvellous tree by traveller
who had seen it.
Botanists have smiled at and ridi-
culed the existence of such tree, only
to be met with the assurance that it
had been seen. At last the truth has
been made known by Buddhist con-
vert to Christianity.
In the village Of louisa is a monas-
terry of 5000 lamas or Buddhist priests.
To support these priests a considerable
sum of money is required, SO at some
far-off time the idea Of this tree was
evolved On a moonless night in spring
one of the lamas armed with a set of
stamps, imprints upon the leaves and
bark of the tree the characters of the
alphabet, short invocations to Buddha
and various rough outline drawings Of
priests and religious symbols.
The leaves and pieces Of bark are
sold to the credulous believers and Wis.
itors, and the money thus obtained

A recent report made by the Office OF
Public Works In Faris contains some
statistics which will be of interest to
the world of women as pertaining to
one of the principal industries of the
gay city and the one which most init
mately concerns them. Paris has $500
dressmakers, who employ about $4,000
workpeople. The three leading dress
makers turn over about $1.O00.000 a
wear each, the profit Of each being about
\S1OO,O00 year. In estimating this profit
personal penseS are deducted as we'll
as bad debts and how bad some Of
these debts are is shown by the state
ment that zone dreSsmaker alone has
$500, 900 worth Of debt on her books
which she considers rs hopelessly lost"
The other sex will be interested in
knowing that 1900 tailors employ Co.
900 workmen. and that their net profits
are three times as large as those of the
dressmakerS. The consolation for the
women is to be found in the reflection
that they probably get three times as
much for their money in honest values:
in other words. there is three times
more honesty in a Paris gown than
there is in Paris trousers.

The blushing face is an index Of an
thoughtful and sensitive possess. The
very climax Of iniquity is the power to
violate the decent courtesies and pro-
pr:eites Of life without revealing a
sense Of shame in the suffusion of the
countenance. No brute, natural or NOR
al, is capable of blushing. 1t Is one Of
the inalienable characteristics of ra-
tinnal and sentimental and pure-mind-
ed being. Inordinate blushing is a
most uncomfortable ailment, and the
evidence of extreme sensitivenesS.

Cured hy a Wound.

An English army officer in the army
of General Rolfe was apparently dying
from an abscess on the lungs, and was
in consequence absent on sick leave,
when battle was expected. He heard
of it and at once rejoined his regiment,
saying in reply to circumstances that
as he had been given over to die he
preferred doing his duty, and if he was
killed in the service Of his country a
few days would not matter The bat
tie came off and he was wounded in
the breast But the ball pierced the alb
cess and made an opening for the dis
charge of the contents, whereupon he
recovered and lived to he over 80.
