In the middle Of the floor there We're,
he believed, about 1852 varied kinds of
hopping visitors, and with a wailing
cry Mr.. Robinson crashed through the
vortex and made for the door and bolted
for the hight outside.
The next morning very pale and un-
strung man appeared at the farm board
ing house and answered to the name of
Joe Robinson. He went up to his apart
ment and looked about for some signs
of the visitation of the night before, but
the toads and things. more frightened
than he, had escaped by the same door
through which he had gone, while the
careful hired girl had gathered up the
-four bag and burned it. Mr.. Robinson
sat down and thought for a moment.
and then he said, addressing himself to
the picture frame from which the snake
had dangled, that this was the last
time. He had had enough. More would
be too much.
And for the remaining ii years of his

MOSSo'S PLETHYsMOGRAPH.
A Wonderful Invention Which Records
Brain Movements.

n
Brain Movements.
Professor Angelo Mosso of the Univer-
sity of Turin has invented machine called
balance" which, worked in commune
ton with his plethysmograph, makes it
possible for him to make many wonderful
experiments upon the working of the hui
man brain. Both are based upon the sim
pie principle that "tbe more mental effort
the more blood needed in the brain.
Emotions, thoughts and ideas need differ
ent quantities of blood, and whatever is
required the brain draws from the body.
The plethysmograph is a long glass tube
into which the arm is inserted nearly to
the elbow. The tube is then filled with
water and sealed at the bottom. Commu-
nicating with this tube is another tube,
the second very slender and standing up
right. 1t is open to the air, and the water
in the large tube overfows q little into the
smaller. Under the influence of some
thought or emotion, the blood flows to the
brain, and the vessels in the wrist and
hand contract and the water in the small
tube passes back into the larger, the
amount varying according to the strength
of the emotion. The opposite is the case
when person sleeps.
The balance is an instrument of wood
and metal large enough to hold a man
comfortably stretched out with head slight
ly raised. It'rests upon fulcrum, and is
steadied by a heavy counterpoise of metal,
firmly held by lateral bars. An arrange
ment of weights keeps the normal center
of gravity in the middle of the balance, :"
and the whole is held in exact equilib-
rum. 1t oscillates with the breathing,
but balances so that the couch is held hori-
zontal. The slightest variation in brain
effort causes the COUCH to incline one
way or the other. In any intellectual ac-
tivity the legs become lighter and the head
heavier. In sleep it inclines toward the
feet, but the slightest stimulation of the
brain causes an inclination toward the
head.-Exehange.

NOT IN HIS CLASs.
The Conductor Discovered Too Late That
He Tackled the Wrong Man.


lie Tackled the Wrong Man.
Mike Monn was for many years pas.
sengcr conductor on the Pittsburg. Fort
Wayne and Chicago and was well known
to the old time railroad mon who made
their headquarters about Fort Wayne.
Mike Kelly, now passenger conductor
on the indianapolis division of the Penn
sylvania, was his brakeman. Moran prid-
ed himself on being great boxer and al
ways carried u set of gloves In the baggage
car. One of his favorite schemes was to
catch tramp ruling "blind baggage"
bring him into the car and compel him to
box with him, and the poor tramp always
got the worst of It,.
One night Moran found tramp on the
"blind end, " and dragging him into the
car produced the gloves and told him he
must fight for his ride. The tramp pro-
tested he knew nothing about boxing and
would have no show with Moran anyhow.
But Moran insisted and said If he did not
put on the gloves he would give him
beating and throw him off the train.
The tramp began to cry, and Moran tossed
him about the car until he exclaimed that
he would put on the gloves if Moran would
not hurt him. Kelly, who felt sorry for
the fellow, assisted him in putting on the
gloves and encouraged him by telling him
that If Moran got in square lick at him
he would break his jaw.
The men squared off-at least, Moran
did. The tramp held his hands as awk
wardly as sohoolboy. The conductor
made vicious drive at the tramp's nose
and then something happened. The tramp
seemed to have eight hands. He punched
Moran in the face, staggering him back,
and landed another on his ear that spun
him around so that he could plant a third
one on the other ear. AS Moran reeled the
tramp rained in blows and tuinbled him
in heap in the corner. Before he could
get TO his feet he struck him full in tho
mouth, sending blood and teeth in all di
rections, and left handed upper cut laid
out the conductor on the floor as limp as q
rag 1t was some time before he recov
cred.
amy more of you buffers want to do %
little sparring?' asked the tramp.
Excuse me-" said Kelly. II am not
in your class" And the baggage man was
of the same opinion concerning himself
Kelly ran the train to Chicago, and it was
several days before tho conductor made a
presentable appearance. 1t developed that
the supposed tramp was Billy Edwards,
afterward tho champion lightweight pugil-
list of the world. He had been in prize
| fight near Fort Wayne and was escaping
the police disguised as tramp.-Chicago

is, health is not so difficult thing

arise from impure hood, impaired
nutrition, low vitality, and general

YANKEES and BEER.

In the year 1889 the State Legisla-
ture of Massachusetts passed the fol-
lowing resolution:
In as much as the manufacture of
strong beer, ale and other malt drinks
promotes the purposes of agriculture,
trade and commerce.; since they pro-
mote the cultivation of such grains
as are adapted to our soil and climate,
and since they thereby at the same
time produce valuable article of eX-
port, and because malt liquors, on ac-
count of their wholesome qualities,
strongly recommend themselves for
general use; since they form import
ant means for the preservation of the
health of the citizens of this State,
and protect and guard against the
harmful effects of stronger liquors;
therefore, be it
Resolved, that all brewers who
make yearly more than one hundred
barrels of beer shall be free from
taxes and duties for five years."

Died

AT his home in Van Buren,, on the Sth
inst. after only very short illness,
Rev. T. L. Arnold.
The announcement Of the sudden
death Tuesday morning was great
surprise to his friends and acquaintances
who had seen him as usual on the street
the day before, not showing any signs of
i'll health. He was taken suddenly
severely i'll about o. clock Tuesday
morning medical attention proved I'M
availing, and he passed away at
10 o clock A. M.
Rev Arnold was born in Putnam
county, Georgia, Feb. IS, 1889. He
was married to Elizabeth Mulkey May
"a, 1855. Was converted and joined the
Methodist church in his eighteenth
year, and licensed to preach seven years
later. He removed to Arkansas in 1870
and has lived in Crawford county ever
since that time.
For 81 years Mr.. Arnold has made
Van Buren, his home and during all
those years he enjoyed the respect of all
who were acquainted with him.
During that time he spent a number of
years as layman or local preacher of the
M. E. church of which he always was
a devout member.
While his sudden death was a great
shock to his relatives, never the less a
sudden and almost painless passing
away must be pleasant to contemplate
by one who had arrived at his age and
were prepared for the call as he was.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Stevenson from the residence
Wednesday morning

prisoners in cleaning up the streets of

reported that the parties contracted
with had fulfilled all the requirements
of the franchise to date and had made
written acceptance of the same.
The question of the running at large

cussed but it was decided that under

more than was now the case to prevent
its running at large.

up again, but nothing was done in the
matter.
An ordinance reducing the license of
merry go rounds from $40 day to $40
