number of remarkable falls a man
takes is considered. In ninety-nine
cases out of a hundred where the rider
takes header over a fence, or gets

could get cut of such a mixed IND mess

American Violin Wood.

1t has been recently discovered that
the bar maple wood grown in Washing
ton is superior to any wood yet tried in
the manufacture of small stringed in
struments, such as violins. This is veri-
fed by the practical experience and tes-
timony of a we'll known Chicago instru-
ment maker. He finds that the Wash
ington maple is superior to any he has
yet used, and he has heretofore been i'm
porting maple from the mountain re-
gions of Switzerland as the best he
could find in the world.
The Washington maple seems to pos
sess the necessary qualities Of being very
difficult to split, capacity for satiny
finish, resonance, strength and lightness
in the superlative degrees. While the
demand for such wood does not call for
any great amount, it is steadily increas-
ing and will almost command its own
price. AS an instance of the superiority
of some American made instruments, a
purchaser sent to Europe lately for a
high priced instrument and when it was
received it was found to be the product
of the aforesaid manufacturer. Buffalo

Eminence in the textile trades does
not lead with the sane certainty to So
cial distinction as the possession OF
breweries and distilleries. The Lanca-
shire manufacturers gain titles more
hardly, and, unless we except Sir Arch
ibald Orr Ewing, the turkey red dyer
connected with that industry, neither
peer nor baronet nor even knight is to
be found among the full millionaires
and II semimillionaires who have occu-
pied that enviable position in the Wills
of the last ten years, because custom re-
auires that we should wear clothes. The
late John Ryland of Manchester, who
was in his youth travelling packman,
died possessed Of personality OF more
than G2, 500, 900, and his affairs were
in such perfect order that the intricate
business Of valuing and declaring SO
colossal an estate was completed within
a month. Mr.. George III. Strut of Bel
per and Mr.. Samuel Fielden of Todmor-
den, both cotton spinners, were million
aires, the estate of the former reaching
we'll on to e2,000,0 900.
A London draper, the well known
Peter Robinson, was close up to the
million, and his fellow tradesman Mr..
James Marshall of Marshall d Smell

of the semimillionaires who helped to

ter. The repetition Of names among
them demands attention. There are two
Woods, Samuel and Daniel, Of Glossop;
another Fielden of Todmorden and two
Lees, Eli and Charles Edward, Of Wer-
meth, near Oldham. This last was one
of the rare cases in which the exchequer
draws death duties twice from the same
estate within two years, as O. f. Lees
was the son Of Eli, and the fortunes
were a856, S18 and e849, 428, respective

Was Washington Profane?

Rev. F. E. Williams, Presbyterian
pastor of Baltimore, told his congrega-
tion that he had no doubt George Wash
ington swore. Round English oaths
were common in his day. They were
close to hand when man forgot him
self and was carried away in a torrent
of passion, and Washington was capable
of this. The true Washington was man
of terrific temper. Passion is power. A
man who is not capable of getting mad
is not capable Of getting much Of any.

unless man has something to control.

TRADES THAT KILL.

Occupations That Gradually Destroy the
Lives of the Men Engaged In Them.
People are afraid to travel by land or
sea and take out all sorts of accident
policies, but there are many legitimate
occupations or trades that kill as GER
tainly ana steadily as the most i'll reg
ulated steam engine. An old writer
said that human life was the cheapest
thing on earth. Strange to say, says an
English trade journal, you cannot
brighten the workmen who know how
dangerous is their trade, and not even
higher wages will tempt them from
such death traps. Lead, in the form of
bullets and shot, is deadly, dangerous
thing, but it is also death dealing to all
who use it in their work, as house
painters, gilders, calico printers, type
founders, potters and braziers.
Mercury is foe to life. Those who
make mirrors, barometers or thermom-
eters, who etch or color wool or felt,
will soon feel the effect Of the nitrate
of mercury in teeth, gums and the It's
sues of the body. Silver kills those who
handle it. and photographers, makers Of
hair dyes and ink and other prepare
tions ere long turn gray, while dead
ly WEAKNESS subdues them, and soon
they succumb. Copper enters into the
composition of many articles of every
day life, and too soon those who work
in bronzing and similar decorative proc
esses lose teeth and eyesight and final
ly life. Makers Of wall paper grow pale
and sick from the arsenic in its color
ing, and matchmakers lose strength
and vitality from the excess of phos-
phOrus used in their business.
Nitric acid is used by engravers, by
etchers in copper, by makers of gun cot
ton and those who supply our homes
with lovely picture frames Its fumes
are poison to the human lungs and soon
destroy them completely. Ammonia
kills the soapmakers; workers in guano
grow deaf; hydrocyanic acid deals
death to gilders, photographers and pic
ture finishers, while zinc is fatal foe
to calico printers, makers of optical
glasses and meerschaum pipes.
Mankind is by nature brave, and
very few are deferred from action be-
cause of supposed danger. If the great
builders and engineers of the world
would stop and ask, "How many lives
will this undertaking COST" it is prob
able that the world would be without
some of the greatest triumphs of mod
ern thought. Everyday life and COM
mon occupations are full of silent cour-
age, and all around are workers who
die in the harness and are true heroes
without knowing it.

The Death of Little
Johnnie Sheehan
Yesterday,
Was Found In n Pool Of Water
And All Efforts 60 Resuscitate Him
Were Futiie--He Was Well known
About Town-Other News.

Last evening about 5 o'clock some
children playing in the vicinity Of New
town school noticed boy lying on the
ground with his back in pool OF water
and on going to the spot found he was
little Johnnie Sheehan. The children
were frightened, but thought that the
little fellow had fallen into fit which he
has been in the habit OF doing occasion
ally for the past few years. They gave
the alarm and the little fellow was taken
to his home on the Osceola road in New
town.
A physician was summoned, but life
was already extinct. The boy had evil
IDENTIFY fallen in a pool OF water while in
one OF his fits. The water was not more
than foot and half deep. In his death
struggles he managed to turn around
and partly out OF the water. The doctor
worked for nearly half an hour over the
body, but all efforts to resuscitate him
were futile.
The little fellow had left his home at 4
o'clock with his sister to 60 to the pas
ture for the COW. On the way he left his
sister and stopped at the swamp to play
in the water. This was the last seen Of
him until the children found him dead.
Little Johnnie Sheehan was well known
about town and everyone felt sorry for
his misfortune. He was subject TO fits
and often had them on the street or in
stores. They cane on when he least ex
pected it and his condition during one OF
them was entirely helpless. He was four
teen years OF are.
Arrangements for the funeral have not
yet been made.
