TIE DOCTORS STORY.
An Experience That Followed a Call a
 Night.


 Four or five physicians were talking up town the other evening at the home of one, and the conversation later turned to shop. One of them had recently moved his office down town, and there was some discussion as to the advisabil- ity of separating house and office.
 We'll" said the separatist, 1T can | see any difference so long as I am at my office during office hours.
 Let me tell you story, remarked the oldest man in the party. "Thirty years ago, when began practice, lived in Virginia, and for year or two I slept in my office. Then I married, and my wife owned nice house, and I went to 1t to live. It sat back from the street about 50 feet and we decided that it would be much nicer if we had my office out on the street in the far corner of the lot. Only 50 feet away, you will ob- serve, but still it was enough. In order to see such callers as came during the night l had night bell and a speaking tube connecting the front door of the office with my bedroom. You see, I did not want patient to escape under any circumstances.
 Well, everything went nicely enough for three years or so, when one night a ring came to my bell. It was then about o'clock in the morning, and the ring was hot one. asked who it was, and the answer came from a friend of mine to the effect that he was mighty sick man and wanted to see me at once. told him to come around to the house and would meet him at the door and take care of him. Then I got up, and, putting on my dressing gown and slip pers, proceeded to the front door, But there was no one there and no one in sight on the way between the gate and the house.
 That was odd, and I went back and called through the tube to know what was wrong. received no answer, and, being quite unable to account for it, took my lamp-it was very dark and still night-and started to go out and investigate Just as I was about to step off the porch I lowered my lamp to get better light on the step, and there at the foot of the porch lay a body. I turned it over at once, and as the light fell on the face saw it was my friend who had only aminute before spoken to me. He was quite dead. And when an examination was made, it was discovered that he had died of heart disease, and so near to me that I could almost have touched him. Possibly I could not have been of any service to him if I had seen him when he first rang the bell, but the possibility that I might so affected me that from that day to this I have had my office as near my bed as could get it.

The Plausible Lie.

We resent eaIumny, hypocrisy and treachery because they harm us, not be- cause they are untrue. Take the detrac- tion and the mischief from the untruth, and we are little offended by it. Turn it into praise, and we may be pleased with it. And yet it is not calumny and treachery that do the largest sum of mischief in the world. They are contin- ually crushed and are felt only in being conquered. But it is the glistening and softly spoken lie, the amiable fallaey, the patriotic lie of the historian, the proyident lie of the politician, the zeal ous lie of the partisan, the merciful lie of the friend end the careless lie of each man to himself that cast that black mysterJ' oslr humanity through which we thank any man who pierces, as we would thank one who dug a we'll in a desert. Happy that the thirst for truth remains with us, even when we have willfully left the fountains of it.-John Ruskin.

HERMANN TO M'KINLEY.
How the Late sleight of Hand Performer
 Fooled the President Elect.

How the Late Sleight of Hand Performer
 Fooled the President Elect.
 The death of Professor Hermann. the prestidigitateur, recalls an incident that occurred at the last meeting between him and Major Mckinley. Major Mo Kinley and the famous sleight of hand performer had been friends for a long time, and Hermann never came to Co., lumbus without calling on the governor when he was here. When he was last here, Hermann happened to stop at the hotel where Governor Mckinley was making his home, and he called upon him there.
 As he started to go, Professor Herr mann said: Major, may not see you soon again, and have never given you anything by which you may remember me. Let me make y you present of this ? And, taking his hand, he placed upon a finger a fine diamond set ring. Major Mckinley thanked him and admired the ornament. Shortly after Hermann left friend who was present said, "Oh, by the way. governor, let me see that ring, The governor held up his hand, but was astonished to find that it was gone. There was no need to ask questions about the mystery. Hermann had left as memento the memory of a very clever trick, of which the major was the victim, instead of the ring. g.- Columbus (O.) Cor.

aaae anere .. IS saving of time, of space and


 mere IS saving of time, of spaoe and cost of operation.
 or instance, where steamship can now only take coal enough to carry her toui New York to Liverpool, one of these electrically eouipped vessels oonid, With the same quantity of coal. sal from New York to Gibraltar and return 10 New York, three times the dis. :alce The vessel could carry greatly increased number of passengers and 2 ihoeh larger quantity of freight. The space now required for the vast steam plant could be earning the owners of the vessel large amount of money in lrelghtage. An electric ocean liner could easily carry 2,500 passengers in greater comfort and with less danger than is HOW incurred on steamships.
 Another feature of this system is the fact that the screws tend to main tam the equilibrium of the vessel at all times. Each screw has distinct lifting power. The blades turn so that the propelling force comes from below instead of above, and as a vessel lurches rom one side to another, or pitches. the screws on the side deepest in the water exert tremendous power to restore the craft to a level. It would be as though a man were to lurch 10 one side and re- celVe the support of prop. When the vessel pitches, there is no lost motion. When the stern screws are idle and in ar Tor a nloment, the screws in the DOW are Working, as usual and exertine their tremendous lifting power to put the stern of the boat back to it's proper equilibrium When the bow screws are out of water, the stern screws perform q similar office. In this way the vessel IS kept more nearly on an equilibrium than IS possible in steamships.
 'The increased speed attained by the use of electrical motors does not, as many might suppose, increase the pres sure of the water upon the sides of the vessel. Just the contrary is the case. The Increased momentum enables the vessel 10 ctlt the water with a sharper force, and tho greater the momentum the less the pressure. This can best be illustrated by a man attempting to push his fist through a board. This he cannot do; yet he can easily shoot candle through 1t from a gun. New York Herald

TWO ECLlPsES THIS YEAR.
The Sun Will Be Darkened In February
 and June.

Two eclipses of the sun are scheduled for the year 1897. The first one will take place, the astronomers say, Feb. 1. It is what is known as all annual or ring eclipse, which means that the moon will pass across the sun s center ill such a way that if an observer were in a fa- vorable position he would see a large black spot in the face of the chief lumi- nary. with wide ring of light about it. The eclipse will be visible to North America south of line drawn through Boston, Memphis and La Paz, Lower California It will be best observed in this country from the southern states.
 The second eclipse is due July 29 and will be visible in all parts of the country.

That is the inducement we
are hanging out to secure your
cash trade. I We couldn't begin
to sell goods at lower prices
than others if we sold on credit.
Cash buying and cash selling
is the only way to cut prices
down. We can publish our
prices to the world because
they are cash prices and every.
body gets them. We don't
have a different price for every
Tom, Dick and Harry, neither
do we watch what others are
charging and then cut under.
We charge as near a uniform
percentage as possible, hence
our many odd prices. 1t can
do you no harm to trade with
us and may possibly do you
some good. Come and see us.
