WORCESTER SALT.

President elect Mckinley press
in Canton 800 miles away, at o'clock
on the morning of Jan. 9Th, and OPP
Grated an electrical continuance on
the throttle of locomotive starting
vast consignment of ia cars Of salt
over the Erie road for the New Eng
| land states.
The big train, mile and a quarter
long, is the Worcester salt special,
bearing 5, 450, 900 pounds of Worcester
alt. This enormous shipment is to
fill orders in New England, nearly all
of which had been given contigent to
Major Mckinley's election.
The undertaking was planned, de
tails arranged, and all of the goods
sold by Harry w. Nash of Boston, as
an evident precursor of prosperity
secured by his election. Gov. Nc
Kinley has taken personal interest
in the especial"
The undertaking is remarkable in
several ways. 1t is the largest single
ship ent of manufactured commo-
dity ever made by one concern. It is
shipped in the largest number of cars
ever used in one train. The starting
of the train by Maj. Mckinley 800
miles away by an electrical device is
also something novel and unique.
The works Of the Worcester Com
pany here have been running night
and day to fill the orders AS fast as
the salt was packed it was put into
the cars of the Erie Road and run out
on sidings. These are now cars of
the Erie Grain Line, equipped with
air brakes and patent couplers, and
the cars in the train are all of the
same pattern, making it not only the
largest, but the finest train run on
the road
Six loco motives were used to draw
the train. Early this morning Gov.
Mckinley telephoned he was ready.
Mr.. Spaulding saw that all details
were arranged. At 7.O3 Gov McKin-
ley touched the button, flash of the
fuse wire followed, the throttle was
pulled back, and the train started
amid cheers of the populace and the
screaming of steam whistles.

Chinese is a difficult and delicate
language. An Englishman, having
been told by Cninaman that it was
impossible for any European to pro-
nounce the name of the emperor at
once, offered to do so for bet. He
listened carefully to his Celestial
friend and endeavored to reproduce
the sounds. The result was discourag-
ing. You had better: said the China
man, take care what you are about.
You have just accused the emperor

DEATH BY ELECTRICIT z.

Scientists think that death by cleo
tricity is painless. They do not know
that it is so. but infer that it is from
these facts:
The nerves communicate the sensa-
tion of pain by their vibrations or
movements, which are at the rate of
9S feet per second. Electricity moves
in copper wire at the rate of 20S, 900
miles per second. Hence it is prob
able that strong cure at of electrici-
ty kills man before his nerves can
make him conscious of the shock.
Professor Tyndall, while lecturing
at the Royal Institution, London. &C
cidentally touched with his shoulder
she conductor leading from fifteen
Leyden jars, charged with electricity
He thus describes the effect on his
body:
s'I was extremely sensitive to cleo
tricity, yet a charge from such
powerful battery as fifteen jars seem
ed to have no disastrous effect upon
me. I stood perfectly still, wonder
ing that did not feel it; but I knew
something had occurred.
"After standing a moment or two I
seemed to open my eyes, which prob
ably were open all the time. saw a
confused mass of apparatus around
me. felt it necessary to reassure
the people before me, so I said:

Although l appeared unaffected re-
ally the optic nerve in me was so af-
fected that I saw my arm severed
from my body. soon, however, re-
covered proper sight, and saw that I
was all right.
The battery was not so powerful as
to cause death, nor did it cloud Prof.
Tyndall's intellect while distorting his
vision; but he felt no pain, though
the shock affected him, because the
nervous agency, by which the con-
seriousness of pain is excited, travelled
like a tortoise, while the electric cur
rent ran like a hare.

EATING FRUIT.

Those who fear appendicitis from
the dse of seeded fruits, may take
courage, and the fruit as we'll, fro m
the following suggestion: If fruits
are eaten with other food, especially
bread, potatoes, or any soft, envelop-
ing food, the risk of seed running
awry in passing through the intesti-
nal canal is practically non existent.
Many persons know that when
child swallows pin or tack, or any
sharp edged foreign substance, the
modern treatment is not drastic
cathartics, but simply packing diet
for twenty four hours. Mush-usual
ly oatmeal mush--isthe sole food
given, and this is partaken of freely;
and ninety nine times out of humid
red-perhaps even greater proper
ton successfully. Many seeded fruits
are practically harmless if subjected
to the same treatment. They should
not be taoooed, for they are valu-
able regulating agent, and in season
act most beneticently on the system.
< ny SiC1duS encourage living III lever
infested localities TO eat freely of
fruit. Professor Allen in recent adj
dress said: s'Let us take this truth
as settled: Good, well ripened fruit,
eaten in reasonable quantities, not
only will never be injurious to a
child, but if taken as a food, is the
most acceptable, the most satisfying,
the most healthful food that we can
have. And this is equally true
whether lie eats fresh, canned, pre-
served or dried fruit. If one half the
meat, one fourth the bread and all
the candy given to children could be
made to give place to fruit, the death
rate among the children would be
greatly reduced, their bodies would
be better formed, and all of them
would be more healthy than most of
them now are. "-NeaD England Farm

INDIANS HATE ENGLISH.
Why They VIII NOT Speak 1t After They
Leave School.

Leave School.
! For years government instructors
among the Indians have been troubled
| by the fact that the red men, after
! learning English at the schools as chill
dren, invariably return to their own
tongues and seem positively to hate the
white mans language.
! The superintendent Of Indian schools,
W. N Mailman, III report just made
to the commissioner Of Indian affairs,
says that the Indians were actually
/ taught to hate the Englissi tongue, be-
cause Of the rigid rules against the use
of Indian conversation by pupils. Until
lately the great majority of Indian
teachers have labored under the deluslon
that they can hasten the acquisition OF
the English language on the part OF the
pupils by compulsory measures, visiting
more or less severe penalties upon the
unfortunate children who were caught
in the use of the Indian speech.
The unreasonableness of such proceed
ings, which are always punished with
more or less serious failure, appears
when it is considered that an idiom that
is forced upon a child by means of pen
alties and other appeals to fear is neces-
sarily hateful to him. Then, in his own
heart, he turns away from it and uses it
only under more or less pronounced pro-
tests. This becomes quite manifest as
soon as the children are removed from
the restraint of the school, when, for
instance, they return to their parents
for a visit or more Or less perm anently
after graduation, and when, on meeting
their former teachers, they will either
refuse to speak English altogether n
answer with shame faced reluctance.
Professor Mailman says: "There
no doubt in my mind that the unreason-
ableness of the offensive warfare made
in the Indian schools against the Indian
vernacular is largely to blame for the
apparent stubbornness with which older
Indians refuse to learn English or to use
the little knowledge thereof which they
may possess. If it is argued that with
liberty to use the Indian vernacular the
Indian children will engage in CONVEX
sation. possibly improper, which the
teacher can neither understand nor con-
troll, the fault lies not with the child's
knowledge and use of his own idiOm,
but with the teachers ignorance of the
same, and the remedy will be found
not in the repressive measures, which
must, because Of their unreasonable
ness, fail of their purpose, but in the
determined effort on the teachers part
to acquire a knowledge of the child's
idiom.
Probably the traditional hostile at
titude Of certain schools to the Indian
vernacular is responsible for the fact
that in number of instances teachers
and other school employees continue at
the same school, working with the same
tribe of Indians, without acquiring any
appreoiable knowledge of the language
spoken at the homes of their children.
This Ignorance frequently extends to the
customs, habits of life and the histor-
ical development of the tribe in ques-
ton. They seem to treat the Indians as
outcasts, and the outcome of their work
corresponds with this attitude. Chi
