Indian Wit

A half naked Indian was looking on
at some workmen in the employ of
Governor Dudley, of Massachusetts,.
"Why don't you 60 to work and get
yourself some clothing p asked the
governor.
"Why don't you work ?" retorted
the son OF the forest.
IT work head work." said Dudley,
pointing to his head.
The Indian said he was willing to
work, and agreed to kill a calf for the
governor. Having done SO, he came
for his pay.
But" said the governor, "you
have not dressed the calf"
"No," said the Indian, II was to
have a shilling for killing him. Am
he no dead, governor 4"
Finding himself outwitted the gov
ernor gave him another shilling to
dress it. 1t was not long before the
Indian came back demanding a good
shilling in place of the bad one he
claimed the governor had given him.
The governor paid him another. Re-
turning another time with still another
brass piece to be changed, the governor,
convinced of his knavery, offered him
half a crown if he would deliver a let
ter for him. The letter was directed
to the keeper Of the prison, and order,
ed him to give the bearer a certain
number of lashes.
The Indian suspecting that all was
not right. and meeting a servant of
the governor, induced him to take the
letter to it's address. The result of
the Indians stratagem was that a
severe whipping was administered to
the unfortunate servant. The governor
was greatly chagrined at being second
time outwitted by the Indian. On
falling in with him sometime shortly
after, he a%ccosted him with some Sc
verify, asking him how he dared to
cheat and deceive him so many times.
"Head work, governor, head work.
was the reply.
Pleased with the fellows wit and
~audacity, the governor forgave him.

New Wonders Of Electricity.

The Electrical Review in it's last issue
announced by authority that Nikola
Tesla had perfected his vacuum tube
system of electric lighting without
wires, the possibilities of which he
first brought to public notice about
FIVE years ago in a lecture before the
American Institute of Electrical En-
gineers. This light is whittier, more
brilliant, and more intense than the
arc light, and is produced with a much
smaller amount of electrical energy.
A laboratory photograph has been
made by means Of this light with an
exposure of only two seconds. The
detail in the photograph is remarka-
bly, fine. Tesla further states hat his
apparatus has been greatly simpliied
aud that he will soon have it ready for
practical use.
Working on different lines, Thomas
A. Edison has, according to the Elec-
trical Review, succeeded in develop
ing a new kind of electric lamp, OF va
cuum tube, by means of which the
Roentgen X-rays are turned into pure,
white light. Edison new lamp is an
ordinary Crooke's tube, coated on the
interior surface with crystals of a new
huorescing substance, which he has
discovered, similar to tungstate Of cal,
cium. The X-rsys, in passing through
this coating of crystals, arc changed to
light. Very little heat is generated,
and nearly the whole of the electrical
energy expended is transformed into
light.
The new lamp is used in place of
Crookes tube with the ordinary X-ray
apparatus. Mr.. Edison says that
there are great possibilities in his dis
covery, and he is now at work getting
his apparatus into commercial form.
He expects that before long he will
so develop it that it may be used with
high economy on an ordinary mean
descent circuit. The Electrical Re-
view says editorially:
"We cannot hesitate to express our
positive conviction that the introduce
ton of a more perfect illuminant is
near at hand"

in cotton mills where the raw cotton
has been imperfectly ginned. In a
Spanish cotton mill the storeroom was
invaded by warns of rats, who pulled
the bales to pieces to get at the seeds
left in the cotton. They did the work
thoroughly, without injuring the fiber
in any way.
= The fact that consumption can be
cured is daily becoming more impress
ed on the minds of the laymen. One
of the simplest and best methods of
fighting this dread malady is the warm
milk treatment, and while undergoing
it the patient is advised to 60 on some
farm, where he is sure to get it fresh,
and where, moreover, he can pass his
DAYS horseback riding. When the
entire treatments undergone, recovery
from consumption would not only be
possible, but would very likely occur,
unless the lungs had been too badly
diseased. An outdoor life in pure
air, good wholesome food and plenty
of it, are the surest cures for the
malady, and no one Of the features is
more important than either OF the
others.

OF course, the Legislature never had any
idea that any such g alton would hold
when taken before Judge Simonton-their
only aim ia to harass and bully people
into support of the ~dispensary law 10 the
hope that they will finally tire of the con-
tinual opposition. But liberty-loving peo-
pie and people who love honest govern
ment should fight this infamous business
to the bitter end. South Carolina can
never prosper as she ought until every
dispenaarv in the State is closed.-Dar-

DIR. Walker, who recently went TO
Alaska, took a number of horses with
him. at the first Indian village the sight
of the horses drove all the dogs bowling
into the woods. The children dropped
their rude playthiDgs and fled crying into
the huts. The men and women stood
their ground, although in open-eyed
wonder. After much inducement they
were finally prevailed upon to approach
the horses, and their wonder knew no
bounds. No amount of persuasion would
induce them to mount. They were the
first horses they had ever seen.

patieut has the satisfaction, while the
operation is being performed, OF retaining

The officials of the pension bureau at Washington were so shocked short time ago because Samuel Fetters, a prominent resident of Frazer, Ps., re. fused to accept the pension money sent him that they doubled he sanity of the man and sent an agent to investigate his case, with the result that his name has been dropped from he rolls. His case was the second which has been met with in the history of the department. Fet- ters, while in the army, contracted dis ease which for several years was thought to be chronic, and under that impression he received a liberal pension. Recently however. he recovered and ordered the pension stopped, but the money still came. Then he sent the cash back, re- iusing to accept it, and the agent was sent to investigate bis strange conduct. --Philadelphs North American.
