A Natural Magnet.

Professor Smythe was once lectuTing
in q provincial town OH natural philos-
ophy, and in the course of his expert
ments he introduced u most powerful
magnet, with which ho attracted Il
block of iron from a distance of two
feet.
"Can any of you conceive a greater
attractive power?" demanded the lee
turer, with an air of triumph.
~ can" answered a voice from the
audience.
"Not a natural terrestrial object?'
Eyes, indeed"
The lecturer, somewhat puzzled,
challenged the man who had spoken to
name the article. Then up rose old
Johnny Sowerby. Said he:
~ will give you facts, professor, aud
you can judge for yourself. When l was
a young man, there was n little piece o.
natural magnet done up in a neat cot
ton dress as was called Betsy Maria.
She could draw me ii miles OH Sunday
over plowed land, no matter what the
wind or weather. There wasn't no re-
sistin ller. That magnet o. yourn is
pretty good, but it won't draw so far as

Key West Has No Chimneys.

1t is curious, though true, that of all
the houses, dwellings, stores, hotels
and other buildings that dot the island
of Key West from one shore to the 9th
er, not n of them has a chimney or
anything that will answer the purpose
of a chimney. Handsome residences
and lowly novels are alike In this re-
spect, and from an eminence gazing
out over acres of roofs on all sides one
Is struck with the want of something
to complete the symmetry Of the pic
ture. Wood and coal or fuel of any
kind are unknown quantities, as the
tropical atmosphere furnishes all the
heat required, and for cooking pur-
poses sticks of carbon are used, which
are sold by peddlers, who hawk their
wares about the streets.-Atlanta Con

Perverted

The cause of a wrong taste is a de-
feet of Judgment. And this may arise
from a natural weakness of understand
ing lin whatever the strength of that
faculty may consist), or, which is much
more commonly the case, it may arise
from a want Of a proper and we'll di-
rected exercise, which alone can make
it strong and ready. Besides, that ig-
norance, inattention, prejudice, rash
ness. levity, obstinacy-in short, all
those passions aud all those vices which
pervert the judgment in other matters,
prejudice it no less in this its more re-
fined and elegant province. Burke.

"A FAST COLT.

Cyclone Wa the Youngsters Name and
He Richly Deserved 1t.
Several nfsn gathered about q horse
near the western market commenting
upon the prominence of the beast s
ribs and general lankiness. The ami
NAL belonged to a farmer living near
Ypsilanti, and, it was said. never per-
mitted grass to grow under its feet on
the road. The farmer was not pleased
with the remarks and the strong in
ferences that the poor thing had never
realized the sensation of corn and oats.
"What do you call your horsef" was
asked.
"Cyclone, and don't he look it?'' re-
piled the man from the rural districts.
"Cyclonel What a name! He certain
~ looks as if n had struck him."
"That's what happened to him, my
friend. 1t was just like this. You re-
member the awful breeze we had out to
Ypsilanti about three years ago? This
Teller was a sucking colt at the time
and was In the barn with two horses.
The cyclone, regular old hummer, came
along and thrashed the barn off its legs
and dropped it nigh on to 100 yards
away. After the twister had raised all
the hob, fences and sheds it could we
went out to look things up. The two
horses were stone dead and the colt
would you believe it?-was nowhere to
be found.
NEXT day I turned over the hen
coop, which lay in the field half a mile
away. Right in that coop and laying
on the door which faced down was the
colt. He commenced kicking when he
heard us, and we took him out in q
hurry. He wasn't scared a bit, I tell
you, and was cool as a cucumber. The
neighbors say they saw the coop goin
through the air and the colt after it.
The little Teller caught the coop and
got inside of it to save himself, that's
what he did. That's the plain truth,
and if you don't believe it ask the colt.
Good day, strangers. Detroit Free

VOWED NOT TO SPEAK,
And Mt the End of Fifty Years When
She Tried She Could Not.

And Mt the End of Fifty Years When
She Tried She Could Not.
There is possibly no other woman in
the world like Miss Experience Gull
ford, of Bluehill, Me. 1t is proverbial
that n woman's tongue never stops,
but Miss Guilford's case is an exception
to this rule, and for half a century she
has held her peace. Not one single
word or audible sodnd has this woman
allowed to pass her lips for a period of
fifty years.
The original reason for Miss Gull
ford's speechlessness was anger be-
cause she could not marry he man of
her choice. When she was 10 years old
she fell in love with William Simpson,
the village schoolmaster. They were
to be married on June 1S, 1917. One of
Miss Guilford's rejected suitors told
tales about the schoolmaster, and Miss
Guilford's parents stopped the we'd
ding. Miss Guilford thereupon said:
81 swear l will not speak a word,
though / live for fifty years, unless
marry this man,"
She kept her pledge. Her parents
died, and she went to live with her
married brother. When he died she
made her home with a sister, and after
the sisters death she went to Il camp
in the woods, and kept house for a
brother, with whom she is now living.
All this time she performed her share
of the household work, and did not
show any regret for having made the
vow. When the fifty years of silence
expired she was visited by a large num-
Der of relatives and friends, who went
to the camp for the purpose of being
present when she was at liberty to
speak. Soon after the midday meal
Miss Guilford dressed herself in the
garments she had not worn for half a
century. AT 2 o'clock she stood before
the people, smiled and opened her
mouth to speak; but though she tried
hard, and got red in the face in trying,
she could not utter a sound. Her vocal
muscles had become atrophied from
long disuse and refused to work.
When Miss Guilford found she could
not speak she sent to Bangor for a ply
stefan and took to her bed. The doctor
gave no hope of recovery, but suggest
ed that she be sent to a Boston hos
pital for treatment. AS sOon as Miss
Guilford gets strong enough to TAXI the
journey she will make another effort to
regain her speech. Her father left her
q good sum of money at his death,
which has been growing every year in
a savings bank, 81 hat she is well able
to obtain the treatment she requires.
