BLOOD WON.
Fair Anna Was Deacons Niece, but She
Enjoyed the Race.

One Of these men who came in from
the country and has climbed from
the bottom of the ladder to the top
likes to tell story on his wife, whose
second beauty is crowned by mass of
silken hair as white as cotton.
''We both lived on a farm then," he
says. Anna was an orphan and brought
up by strict old uncle, who was dea-
con. She was pretty and bright, but so
prim and straitlaced that she would
sanction nothing to which the deacon
himself objected, and no old Covenanter
ever drew the lines more closely than be
did.
Next to Anna my affections were
centered on colt that was good to look
at and developed wonderful speed and
gameness that spoke of aristocratic de
scent l told this to no one but Anna,
and it was with great difficulty that l
induced her to rice one Sunday with me
to camp meeting behind a real trotter
Going to the meeting l regulated
the colts pace to suit the day and the
occasion, and he was as sedate as the
deacon himself. The only girl of the
neighborhood who pretended to rival
Anna III beauty was there with a young
fellow who prided himself on having
the fastest horses in the county Toward
shutdown she told Anna that we had bet
ter start home early. They would re-
quire much less time and would prob
ably pass us on the way. That made me
mad and thought 1 detected an IN

gone, talking solemnly as we should,
when there was rush past US, cloud
of dust and a mocking laugh that bade
us 'goodby. My colt was prancing and
pulling like tugboat. l was bound to
please my girl, grinding as it was.
" Let 'er goP came between her red
lips and white set teeth just as girl of
the period would say Let Ter go, Gal
lagher.
That was enough. Fences and trees
flew the other way. Blood told, and the
colt seemed on wings When we were
nose and nose, Anna was so excited that
she wanted to take the reins for fear
couldn't win the Sunday race. But the
gallant colt shot us through ahead. 1t

A Broken Tooth In His Tongue Over
Thirty Years.

A Broken Tooth In His Tongue Over
Thirty Years.
DIR. John j. H. Love of Orange, N.
j., recently removed from the tongue of
Lieutenant A. p. Haring Of Montclair
a piece of tooth that had been imbed-
ded beneath the surface for "a years.
Lieutenant Haring was wounded at
the battle of KinstOn, N. c., bullet
having entered his left cheek, fracturing
the jawbone and breaking off five of his
lower teeth. The wound healed up and
fragments of bone were gradually re-
moved, but the veteran had been trou-
bled at times of late by some object
which seemed to be lodged in his tongue
Mr.. Haring finally became very much
annoyed by soreness at the tip of the
tongue, and DR.. Love was consulted
The doctor made an incision and re-
moved the upper half of tooth which
an enemy's bullet had shattered. The
piece of tooth had worked it's way
around from the left side to the right
side of the tongue, and never came near
enough to the surface to cause any i'll
effects until recently. Exchange.

SILK FROM THE SPRUCE.
Pulp Fiber Is Found to Make a Very
Good Substitute.

Silk of excellent quality is being
made from the spruce tree in Europe,
and movement is on foot to establish
the industry i'll this country. 1t is said
that the cost of making silk by this proc
ess is One-ffth that of the spinning
from the silkworm cocoon. The fiber
takes dye as readily as the animal prod
uct and can be woven as securely and
as rapidly. 1t is also claimed that the
tensile strength of the fabric is as great,
as if not greater than, the real silk.
Although the spruce lends itself to
the process better than most woods, 9TH
er forms of pulp can be used, the in
ventor even declaring that old newspa-
pers, after they have been cleaned of
the printers ink, may be readily made
into silk. The inventor, who has made

his experimental work OH the fact that
the silkworm, in eating and assimi-
lating the leaf of the mulberry tree, OBJ
tanned the foundation of the silk from
vegetable fiber. In trying to hit upon
the particular chemical process that the
original fiber went through before it
was spun as silk by the loom he found
that after the fiber had been separated
it needed the chemical action of a GER
tain form of glucose. In the new treat
ment the tree is crushed and the result
ing fiber is mixed with glucose and
then placed in deep metal tubs. A disk,
somewhat like IA steam piston, is then
forced down on the mass by hydraulic
pressure until it is compressed into
very heavy gum. At the bottom of the
tubs are tubes terminating in tiny glass
nipples, with exceedingly small aper-
lures. Under the hydraulic pressure the
mixture is forced out of these glass
nipples in silkliko fibers, which are so
fine that the girls who are employed in
this portion of the process are obliged
to wear highly magnifying glasses in
order to see when any of the fibers
break The material is then car
ried over electrically heated drums,
which dry the ether and the alcohol
out of it. 1t is then plunged into iced
water, dried and spoiled for the LOOMS

The term color blindness implies an
entire absence of the color sense, and
there are few persons who are in this
condition, but it also includes all the
forms of partial color blindness in
which the perception of one of the
fundamental colors - red, green and
violet-is wanting, and which are
known as red blindness, green blind
ness and violet blindness. The line be-
tween these various kinds of color blind
ness and perfect perception of colors
is not sharply drawn, SO that large
number of persons have what is called
feeble color sense, which falls short
of actual color blindness. There is no
doubt that color blindness in it's vari-
Gus forms is much more common than
is generally supposed, and it is more
common among the imperfectly than
the well educated classes, and it is, Gu
riously enough, still more common
among Jews and Quakers, probably
from hereditary causes. 1t is ten times
more frequent among males than fe-
males in the general population, but
among Quakers it is nearly the same
i'll both sexes. In the general popula-
ton 416 per cent, or about l male in
every 20, are color blind. New York

LaInDreYs.

In the rivers and lakes of New York
state there is bandit fish that roams at
large and makes its living by robbing
the gentlemen fish. 1t even attacks such
vigorous fish as the black bass and the
pickerel, fastening itself to them and
sucking their blood until they are dead.
The name of this bold bandit is the
lamprey. Professor Gage of Cornell
university has seen 49, 600 of these lam
preys spawning at one time in the out
let of Cayuga lake a>lone, and he has es-
timated that they kill more fish than all
of the fishermen of the state put togeth-
er. The lamprey is about the size and
has somewhat the appearance of an eel,
Professor Gage advises some manner OF
killing them by means of traps i'll the
streams as they go up in the spring tc

You may not think him pretty,
But he's the dog that love best

His hairs a sort of grizzly gray,
And not so very curly;
Bvt he can run like every thing,
And bark beth late and early.
Sometimes he minds me very we'll;
And sometimes when | call
He only sits and wags his TAIL
And does not stir at all.
But the reason why he acts that way
Is very plain to see;
Fritz doesn't know that he's my dog
He thinks that he owns me
So though he has a heap of sense,
'TwouId be just like him now,

More Work and More WAGES.

The daily announcements of the re-
sumption Of operations at mills and fac
tories tell the story of a steadily expand
ing volume of trade. The movement is
progressing and more workmen were en-
ployed last week and the amount paid out
in wages was larger than at any time
since the election. II is undeniable that
the situation is steadily improving and it
is satisfactory TO note that the underlying
conditions which must sustain this i'm
proyement give promise of continuing.
One of the main causes of the protracted
prostratiOn we have endured has been
the low price Of wheat. In no month of
1894 did the Chicago price exceed 60
cents and during most of the year it sold
around 30 cents: in 1885 the price was a
little better and in 1896 a little bette! still,
but nevertheless wheat has averaged fully
ID cents bushel below the average price
Of the five years previous 10 1884. Now,
however. We seem entering upon an era
of higher grain prices.-Philadelphi In
