Ca1mness In Ernereency.

DR.. Weir Mitchell, lecturing to
school of nurses lately upon the neces-
sity of self control in emergencies told
the following incident: Zone of his pa
tients, while in a low, nervous condi.
ton, swallowed by mistake dose from
the wrong bottle She shrieked out that
fhe was poisoned. One Of tho nurses
screamed Aconite! and began to cry
historically. The other nurse, seeing
that the patient was going into convul-
slons from terror, when relief would be
impossible, said coolly: Don t be fright
eened. Look. here, taking mouthful of
the dose herself. She then went outside
to rid her mouth Of it, procured all
emetic and sent for doctor and stom-
ach pump. Her calmness saved the life
OF the patient. -

When the Union Pacific railroad


When the Union Pacific railroad was
sold the government d i'd not lose a dol
lar, but received all it was entitled to.
This, the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
truthfully says, is great triumph for
the Mckinley administration. When
the road was started third of q cen.
tury ago nobody supposed the govern
ment would get back in direct cash any
of the money which it put into the
work. 1t was a great military as well
economic enterprise and it ia expected
to pay the people, by uniting the
Pacific coast with the Atlantic and in
developing the west many times for the
Aaoney expenditure, which the govern
ment made. This, it has done. 1t will
do more, however, for the government
is obtaining the full amountof it's claim.
The administration desire has been to
protect the peoples interests in this
matter to the greatest possible extent.
and 1t has achieved a larger measure
of success than anybody month ago

The Topo.cope.

+ + Z
In the loftiest tower in the city of
Vienna there is a novel instrument,
known as the toposcope, constantly at
tended day and night, for the purpose of
locating fires. 1t consists of a good tele-
scope, which is solidly attached to an
arrangement of levers, while graduated
sections of Il circle are arranged horizon
tally and vertically in such way that
the moving of the telescope sideways or
up or down results in change of posi-
ton of the hands attached to the levers
in reference to the graduated scales.
Thus, the stability Of the apparatus be-
ing assured by the frmness of the fas-
tening, whenever the telescope is focus
ed upon the same object the hands will
point to the same figures on the hori-
zontal and on the vertical sextant, and
since an index of the whole city has
been made it is hut matter of few
seconds, when a glare is discovered at
night, to direct upon the spot the topo-'
scope on the side, to read off the num-
bers, to look up the object and to tele-
graph to the central station the details
observed. Local conditions are, of
course, necessary for the successful oper-
alton of such an apparatus, but in this
case they are said to be almost perfect.
The tower is over 500 feet high, and an
uninterrupted view Of the great area Of
the city is thus possible to the watch
man if the atmospheric conditions are
favorable.

Health and strength carry us through
danger and make us safe in the pres.
ence of peril. A perfectly strong man
with rich pure hlood has nothing to
fear from germs. He may breathe in
in the bachilli of consumption with i'm
punity. If there is weak SPIT where
the germs may find an entrance to the
tissues, then the trouble begins. Dis
ease germs propagate with lightning
like rapidity. Once in the blood, the
only way to get rid of them ia to kill
them. This is what DIR. Pierce's Col
den Medical Discovery is for. 1t puri-
fies the blood. That means that it kills
the germs, but, that is only part of
what it does. 1t assists digestion by
stimulating the secretion of digestive
fluids, go promoting assimilation and
nutrition: purifies and enriches the
blood and 80 supplies the tissues with
the food they need. It builds up strong,
healthy flesh and puts the whole body
into disease resisting state.

Why Many Criminals Are Easily Brought
to Justice,
Zone reason why detectives appear
to do something miraculous occasional
~ is that there is after all very little
originality III criminals, - said one Of
Chief Hazen's S sleuthhounds recently.
When man sets out to get money
by crooked means, he seldom sits down
and evolves q new plan On the con.
trary, he evidently thinks of the smart
cases he has heard of at different times.
makes up his mind which suits him
best and copies the plan adopted very
closely indeed.
Hence, when the detective sets out.
he has, in many instances, quite a
string of precedents to take as guides to
the course the criminal will probably
pursue.
Zone case, years ago, that helped me
immensely in the business, was forg-
cry. The man had disappeared and left
no clew whatever behind
II obtained access to his room and
found that he had developed partial
lty for cutting scraps from newspapers.
There was whole drawerful of these,
and l went through them carefully.
Several had relation to forgery
cases, and one cutting that appeared to
be pretty badly fingered described how
forger had got sway in womap's at
tire.
Il worked on the theory that my
bird had flown in this manner and fol-
lowed it up until finally got on the
track and captured the criminal.
The capture was regarded as very
remarkable one but, as matter of
fact, the runaway had left for me an
exceedingly valuable clew If he had
taken the precautioh to burn that cut
ting, he might have escaped capture al
together. * Cincinnati Enquirer.

French Cookery Dishes.

NJ Geron, a Partisan grocer, captured
burglar who had entered his house.
The man confessed that he was wait
er in a cafe. NJ Geron was frequent
er of cafes and had often pondered on
the mysteries of restaurant cookery.
The opportunity was now offered to
satisfy his curiosity. He made COM
pact with the waiter that if the latter
would truthfully reveal the composition
of certain dishes he would release him.
In reply to the question as to the ingre-
dients of chicken croquettes, the man
mentioned every aliment except fowl,
which was. never employed. AS regards
zambaypn the revelations were Of
such character that M. Geron 'tfor
the honor of France declined to dis
close them to the reporter sThe waiter
was instigated by the same patriotic
sentiment when he was requested to
give. tho formula for goulache.
This he positively declined to do, even
to secure his liberty. M. Geron consid-
cred the refusal as a breach of the COM
pact, whereupon he summoned the po-
lice. Zambayon is term probably cor
rupted from salpicon, ragout COM
posed of meat and vegetables, and as
such susceptible of any sort of clandes-
tine treatment at the hands of an expert
enced restaurant cook. A real goulache,
or gulasch, is a Hungarian composition
made of rump steak stewed in puree of
tomatoes and onions, meat glace, butter
and paprika. The obstinacy of the wait
er in refusing to disclose the ingredi-
ents of this dish as served in Paris was
probably inspired by professional pru-
dence, which M. Geron, like all bour-
geois, was not endowed with a sufficient
sense of 'humor to appreciate.

The Most Costly Fruits.

Hothouse grapes are the costliest Of
fruits. They are never less than 70
cents pound, and when they are most
costly, in February and March, they
sell for 50 pound, sometimes going as
high as $40 pound. At prices ranging
up to So a pound there is a ready sale
for them At the higher prices they are
sold almost exclusively for the use of in
valids There is a sale for all that are
produced, but the production. is great,
and the vines may die from exhaustion
after Single season of forcing.
The next most costly fruit is the hot
house peach Hothouse peaches sell in
February at So 90 each. They are used
mainly by invalids, but such peaches
areN also often sold for gifts. They are
presented as flowers or as bonbons would
be. Three or four peaches are packed in
cotton and set off with few peach
leaves in handsome box. Hothouse
peaches run down to about go cents each
