His Life Saved BY . Glove Button.

How much may depend upon glove
fastening was illustrated at one of the
Monson slate quarries in an adventure
which the person concerned would not
care to repeat. He was a derrick man,
who stood on the brink of one of the great
chasms from which the slate rock is hoist
ed. His duty was to catch hold of the big
hook depending from the end OF the boom
as 1t swung over the bank and attach it to
the crate to be sent back into the pit.
Standing upon the very edge he reached
out to catch the hook which dangled near
him. 1t was winter, and he wore thick
ibuckskin gloves. The hook slipped from
him as he leaned out, but caught into the
fastening Of the glove ~ g.
The swing of the great boom took him
of his feet in an instant and carried him
out into giddy space, with his life depend
ing on the gloves holding fast. His whole
weight was hung on that button, and there
was q clear 175 feet Of space between him
and the floor of rock below. The moments
that passed before the boom could be
swung back over the bank seemed like
hours to him, but he got there at last safe
and sound. He explained that he did not
dare move his hand in the glove to at
tempt to catch the hook with his fingers,
for fear the change Of position would loosen

Hypnotism and Hysterics.

Il requires considerable level headed
ness toliye serene in these months when
all the world seems to be committing
suicide. going crazy OF having attacks OF
hypnotism. But one thing is certain
only those who do hold their heads level
will come safely and happily through
what may be called end OF the century
hysterics. III one way it is almost as
peculiar q time as It was in the days OF
New England witches. We are not
afraid Of being bewitchcd any more. but
many people are afraid d being hypno-
tized. The result is they imagine they
are hypnotized. and they perform antics
to make angels weep. They fancy they
are under the influence Of other per-
sons, and that they must obey the slight,
est beck and call Of the person. Partic-
uIarly this seems to be true when the
hypnotized is SILLY and susceptible
young woman, the hypnotizer good
looking man. A late case on record.
however, is that in which the silly and
susceptible young woman was hypno-
tized by another woman. Pathetic de-
tails are given Of the utter loss Of will
power by the girl.
These interesting experiences are sim.
ply rot, to speak plainly. Nobody ever
was or ever can be hypnotized against
his will Susceptible young women and
all others who manifest the hysterical,
sloppy tendency, should be particularly
instructed that they are making bound !.

should be laughed at and guyed till they

There Is not history Of Austria that

The other day the queen regent, while

AS soon as the queen heard the tinklinR

Ahmed was I'll Mahdi, son of Mohanmed
and the ruler of the world.
The Mahdi selected as his right hand
man his nephew Abdullah, whom he Gre
ated caliph. Then he set about to build
himself capital. He selected as q site the
little village of Omdurman, on the oppo-
site bank Of the Nile from Khartum,
which had been almost destroyed by the
Mahdists. % Ig NE
In order to strengthen his army he sent
out word to the chiefs of all the tribes to
come to Khartum with all their fighting
men and enroll themselves under the green
banner, incidentally mentioning that they
might help themselves to anything they
needed on their way there and promising
them good time when they did arrive.
BY such means he soon collected an army
Of over $4,000. Ss
About this time the Mahdi's head was
badly ''swelIed. He announced that he
was about to set out on an expedition to
conquer the world. He sent word to the
khedive and to the sultan at CONSTANT
nople that, having been recognized as the
true prophet, he was coming to their capt.
tails to assume his holy office. He also sent
word to Queen Victoria and other Euro.
pean rulers Of his intended trip and called
upon them to surrender without further
notioe Queen Victoria Laughed at the
message, but the sultan was badly scared
snd sent q frantic message to England
calling for help. The khedive was equally
frightened, and the Mohammedan world
was panic stricken for few months.
But soon after this the Mahdi died, hav-
ing fallen victim to typhus fever, which
found him an easy prey on account OF his
debauchery. When he WAS about to die, be
transferred all his authority to A bdullah,
who has ruled In the Sudan ever since.
Abdullah called in all the wandering
tribes to strengthen his army and make
secure his rule over the tribes who might
have regretted the change OF affairs since
the Egyptian rule had been thrown of.
He kept at the head Of his army the re-
doubtable Osman Digna, and for 10 years
the Sudan has been in state Of com

Hs Has Been In the Mahdi Businsss Since
the Death OF His Uncle, the Original
11oslem Prophet Who wased the Last
sudanese War. v NJ t
Khalifa A.bdullah, who has proclaimed
jehRd, or holy war, against the Egyptians,
Is the ruler Of the fierce tribes who tnhabit
the Sudan and who are known BY the
general name OF Mahdists. Like the khe-
dive and the sultan no Is not only at the
bead Of the government, but Of the church
also. The Mahdists are only sect OF the
Mohammedans, but while the latter be-
5lieve that Mohammed Is; yet to come the
former think he has aAady appeared in
the person Of the late hahdi, who drove
out the unbelievers and freed tho Sudan
from the Egyptian yoke.
Up to 1882 Egypt was In full control Of
the Sudan. In that year, however, a re-
volt occurred In Egypt which was sup
pressed with some difficulty by the aid Of
tho British. This stirred up the Sudanese.
They had CALLED under the Egyptian yoke
for years, venting their unrest by an occa-
sional foray among themselves. Their
slave trading tendencies had been kept
down, and their country had been invadee
by foreign traders of all nations. They
were spelling for fight Of some Kind.
At this critical juncture there arose d
man who proclaimed himself the long
looked for prophet. He was low born
.Dongowali OF the name Of Mohammed All
med. At first even his own tribesmen
laughed at his pretensions, but he found
some followers who insisted that he was
Ell Mahdi. 70 carry ont his design he be-
came recluse, and by dint of patient
waiting and cunning maneuvering he
obtained q good deal of local fame as a
holy man. Then he began to criticise the
leaders of his sect for departing from
some of the injunctions Of the prophet.
To the ignorant GLASSES this looked indeed
as II he must be Of divine descent. The
story of his defiance and stern opposition
to the degeneracy of the times soon spread
among the neighboring tribes, and his
name was made synonym for piety. =.
Then Ahmed bloomed out as q full
f1edged prophet. He had visions, worked
miracles with the aid Of few obliging
friends and pretended to. hold long talks
with Mohammed. His next step was to be-
gin communication with the leaders of the
dissatisfied tribes throughout the Sudan.
When they had been stirred up to the
proper pitch, the revolt came, and the
Arabs swarnled into Khartum, killed
Gordon and 4, 900 inhabitants of the city,

The German breaks his eggs-soft boiled
Into a large egg cup and spoons them up
like soup. The Italians cook eggs by plac-

which Is allowed to slowly come to boil.
When the water boils, the eggs are cooked,

Farmers and Factories.

A correspondent Of The Manufac-
turers' Record shows strikingly how fac
tories and farms are mutually interde-
pendent and helpful to one another. Six
teen years ago two cotton factories We're
started in South Carolina, the Piedmont
and Pelzer factories, in the counties OF
Anderson and Greenville. The factories
have prospered from the beginning, and
now together operate 175, 600 spindles.
The Pelzer factory stock has been sold
for as much as $125 share.
When the factories were built, the
farm lands in their vicinity were worth
no more than IS to $40 an acre. One old
farmer was trying in vain to sell his
land at "a. SO an acre SO that he could
migrate to some spot where the ground
was not worn ont. He could not sell it.
When the Piedmont factory was started,'
the farmer began to cut wood for the em-
ployees' houses and to raise turnips. po-
tatoes and cabbage for them to eat They
had to eat. It did not take great finan-
cial acumen to discover that. His wood
and food were bought for cash at paying
prices. Then drop BY drop some grit be-
gan to be instilled into him. With some
OF the money he put a new roof upon his
old leaky house. He cut down the brier
bushes and MULLEN stalks and planted
more vegetables.

His farm consisted Of 800 acres. he
has sold 100 Of them at $50 to $75 an
acre and can get SO for the rest. He is
rich man, and . happy man. All the
farm land within ten miles Of the fac
tories mentioned has doubled in value.

struction Of new lines In rapidly growing
communities or the granting Of q monop-
oily to some one street railway company.
The Toronto roads are quoted as an exam
pie by the advocates Of cheap fares, but in
Toronto there Ii q monopoly. The city
took possession OF the railways In 1890,
laid for them at an appraised value and
leased them to syndicate Of United States
and Canadian capitalists. Having a mo-
nopoly, this syndicate could restrict the
construction OF lines to profitable streets
and make the people on other streets walk
some distance to get car. II all street
railroads were constructed on this eco
nomio principle, car riding could be cheap
ened. s5sss
Finally the owners OF other street rail-
road systems who have examined the De-
troit plan say that the average cost of
handling their traffic is 60 per cent Of the
gross receipts, and that quitting off 40 per
cent Of the cent fare would bring the re-
ceipts down to the level OF the running
expenses of the road.
To all Of their arguments the Detroit re-
formers reply by pointing to the overcapi-
talization Of street railways In all the large
cities and the prosperity Of the new Detroit
concern, for the reform railway Is I'M.
doubtedly prosperous. It Isl carrying near
II SO, 900 passengers q day over so miles Of
track, and good percentage OF these Is
being carried for more than 8H cents,
which is the lowest rate Of regular fare.

Tor only 80 years. At the end Of that time
the city will have the right to purchase tho

A Dollar Well Spent.

Prof. Mendenhall, of the United
States Coast Survey, and scientist OF
worldwide reputation, discovered his
special mental bent in curious way.
He was the son of a farmer in a
Western village. One day, when he
was about fourteen years old, a man
from another township bought COW
Of his father, who, not wishing to be
troubled with delivering the animal
himself, said:
my son. will give you dollar to
drive that cow to X for me-"
How far is it?' asked the boy.
twenty-five miles by the road you
would have to take"
The distance was long, but the dollar
looked big. A bargain was struck on
the spot, and the next morning, before
daylight, the farmers son started op
his Journey
He reached his destination by night,
very tired, but, before going to bed, he
happened to notice in a corner of the
sitting-room of the house in which he
was to lodge, well-worn copy OF
Euclid. A glance inside of the book
fascinated the youngster, who sat most
6f the night in spite of his days tramp
porting over the angles and arcs, sines
and tangents. He resolved he must
have that book. The next morning he
said to the master of the house:
What will you take for your Eu.
ciid?"
The man reflected a moment, and
then said he would sell the book for q
dollar.
Down went young Mendenhall's hand
into his pocket; out came the dollar
which he had so hardly earned, and
the next minute he was the owner OF
the book, which he carried tenderly
under his arm as he trudged home.
That was the opening suggestion of a
career in science, of which any man
might be proud.-Golden Days.
