It has been recently proved that in
some cases articular rheumatism can
be relieved, if not cured, by a simple de-
vice. A piece of stovepipe is closed at
one end, mounted on four iron sup
ports, and lined with asbestos cloth.
The patients affected arm or leg is
thrust through the open end, and the
interstices so packed with cloth that no
air can enter the cylinder. A row of
gas lights is now ignited under the
stovepipe. heat of 260 to 300 degrees
Fahrenheit is generated. The asbestos
cloth is said to prevent the burning of
the skin, which turns scarlet, and the
patient scarcely feels the intense heat.
His body is soon covered with profuse
perspiration. The heat is continued
from 20 to so minutes. Most gratifying
results have thus far followed this
treatment.

TROLLEY CAR FENDER.
In This Instance 1t Performed It's Mis-
sion Wondrously Well.

This brief story is intended to
show that, while many good judges diff
fer upon the question of the efficiency
of the trolley ear fender, it does in some
instances fill the bill. A few days ago a
bicyclist was threading his way among
the wagons and pedestrians passing
hither and thither at a crowded corner
in Philadelphia. A trolley car had
stopped at the south side of the inter
secting street. The wheelman had just
succeeded in eXtricating himself from
IA rather dangerous tangle of wagons
and put on speed in the endeavor to
cross the tracks ahead of the car. The
motorman of the trolley car, however,
determined to take the right of way
and motioned to the cyclist to slow up.
The fellow on the wheel was stubborn
and kept on his way. The next mo-
ment the bike and the car came to-
gether. Then the motorman's nerve
forsook him and he threw all his
strength into the brake. The wheel

The experiment of putting a woman
in charge of part of the street-clean-
ing work in Chicago pleases the sweep
ers. One of them said, through an in
terpreter: 1--WE like the woman. She
doesn't curse and swear at us. Man
foreman drive us around like slaves and
call us bad names. ... She say:
How do?' and other nice things, and
then we do good work. She see it and
say so. That make us feel good and we
work more You can get better worl,
even out of dumb beast by being kind

this woman's dealings with unpromis-
ing material abundantly show.

To those who are fond of fruit, but
have been scared by stories about the
causation of appendicitis, the following
from DR.. Seayer, of Philadelphia, may
be offered as words of comfort: THE
idea that foreign body must neces-
sarily be present has given way before
our more complete knowledge of the
disease" And again: Tn a vastly
greater number of cases, however, it oc-
ours through an eroded mucous mem
brane. The erosion is caused by masses
of fecal matter, rarely by foreign
body"

Down in a West Virginia county is
a grand jury which has made record
in the matter of liquor law violation
indictments. 1t is not the number of
the indictments, although they reached
the generous total of 300, that consti-
tutes the popularity of the case, but
the fact that the whole 300 were issued
against one man and on the testimony
of one man. Michael Callahan is
the man who is staggering under this
load of indictments for selling liquor
without license, and the man who tes-
tilted against him said he had bought
a drink of Callahan every day, except
Sundays, for nearly a year. On this
testimony the grand jury issued the
300 indictments, one for each offense.

Traded Wives.

A sensational case with aLfunny side
is reported from Eel Reno, Kan. n
couple arrived at the principal hotel
and registered themselves as man and
wife. In fact, they were elopers, one
having run away from a wife and the
other a husband. In the course of a
week the injured husband and the in
iured wife arrived from Kentucky and
naused the arrest of the pair. The de-
serted man and woman had never seen
each other before, but while waiting
for requistion papers from Kentucky
they stopped at the same hotel, and
formed an acquaintance. Having a
common grief, they became interested
in each other, and, on the day the
requisition papers were to arrive, they
astonished the officers by eloping on
their own account, going to Texas,
where they are now supposed to be.
The first pair of elopers were released
from Jail, and the Kentucky officer re-
turned home, after informing the local
paper that he hoped a rattlesnake
would bite him if he ever travelled a
thousand miles again to help couple
of men trade wives"
