STEEL in THE HUMAN BODY.

Takes Thirty Years to Travel from the
Thumb to tho Shoulder.
Steel travels slowly, or, at least, 1t did
in the arm of g B Garrison, machinist
in Plant City, Fla. While he was dress.
ing mill rock in 1865 small silver of
steel flew from the pick and entered his
right hand at the base of the thumb. It
caused great pain, and Garrison had
thought he had rheumatism in the arm
ever since. The pains began at the
wrist, and year by year extended up
ward, until one day recently they be.
came acute at the right shoulder. A.
physician examined the shoulder and
found indications Of foreign sub.
stance. He used a lance, and out popped
the silver of steel that had entered the
base of Garrison's thumb 80 years ago.
The piece Of steel was as bright as when
1t flew off the pick, and with It's exit the
pains in Garrison's shoulder ceased.

His head is as large as half-barrel.
He belongs to Ernest Tuder, of Somer-

He is probably the heaviest piece Of

SPEED OF INSECTS.
Naturalists Say They Can Fly as Fast as
 Birds,


 It is a popular belief that the flight of birds is much swifter than that of in- sects; but number of naturalists who have been making a study of the matter think that such is not the case.
 A common house fly, for example, is not very rapid in it's flight, but it's wings make 500 beats a second, and send it through the air 25 feet, under ordinary circumstances, in that space of time When the insect is alarmed, however, it has been found that it can increase it's rate of speed to over 100 feet per second If it could continue such rapid flight for mile in straight line it would cover that distance in exactly 8 seconds.
 It is not an uncommon thing, when travelling by rail in the summer time, to see bee or wasp keeping up with the train, and trying to get in at one of the windows.
 A swallow is considered one of the swiftest of flying birds, and it was thought until recently that no insect could escape it. A naturalist tells of an exciting chase he saw between swal- low and dragon fly, which is among the swiftest of insects. The insect few with incredible speed, and wheeled and dodged with such ease that the swallow, despite it's utmost efforts completely failed to overtake and capture it.-Phila- delphia Record.

For your Protection.-oatarrh "Cures" or

For your Protection -CataTh "Cures" or Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken internally, usually contain either Mercury or Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur- ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not a blood disease, caused by sudden change to cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat. Cold in the head causes excessive flow of mucus. and, if repeatedly neglected, the re- suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis charge. Ther eremedy should be quick to allay inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for these troubles and contains no mercury nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents.

An End-of-theCenturyI Idyi for the New
 Wnr,an

A
 Woman.
 The world has laughed this long time over suits for breach of promise oi mar riage, says an exchange. In volume of English2aw reports there is recorded a case we&tnigh as amusing, whose oc- casion was not the breach, but the keep ing of a promise not to marry. The parties to it were a rich, elderly woman and the nephew whom she meant to make her heir. He, it appears, fell vio- lently in love with fascinating young widow, and might have married her but that his aunt intervened. She did not try threat, diplomacy or detect i've investigation-sfle was another sort and knew trick worth all of them. She said plumply to the youngster that so long as he remained free of the widow he might count upon receiving more of prudence than sentiment, he closed with the offer, and for several years duly got and spent the promised sum.
 !, Then the aunt either grew tired of paying or became less fearful of the widow, and she would not pay another ha'penny, so the nephew went to law. He won his case, for, although the op- posing counsel was not admitting tine agreement, declared it could not be en- forced as contrary to public modesty; the learned judge thought otherwise. X promise to abstain wholly from mar riage, he said, neither could or should be enforced, but this was to refrain only from marriage with a particular person, hence the plaintiff was entitled to recover his whole claim with costs ''in consideration of having resigned his natural freedom of marriage" "s..

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property.

Lawn Sprinkler.

The globe, or body, of the Sprinkler is
made in two parts, and by means of the
swiftly revolving arms and intermediate
gears, the upper half is made to revolve
slowly, carrying the hose nozzle. from
which full stream of water is thrown
far out beyond the sprinkle of the arms,
thereby covering much larger space than
any other stationary sprinkler.
With an ordinary pressure OF water, "
pounds or upwards, it will thoroughly
sprinkle an area 80 feet in diameter Il.
nozzle and the tips on end of arms are &C
Unstable and can be set so as to sprink
any desired space, or the nozzle canbI
set perpendicular to send the water up
wards in straight stream like fountain:
Appreciated disc, or rosette, is packed
in each box and can be attached in place
of the nozzle tip, discharging instead OF
solid straight stream very fine mist at
the center OF the sprinkle of the revolving
arms.
With the exception of the legs all parts
are of solid brass, heavily nickeled, max

ficient sprinkler ever placed on the mar
