The Society for the Prevention of

freedom or movement, carried hun

and exhaustion, often resulting in
fever, delirium and death. Something
has Of late been done for the amcliora-

very much. There is promise of
profit, as well rs of humane considera-
tion, in this invention of cars that will
bring their living burden from the
western plains in good and healthy

Recently I gave description of corn
stalk sugar. Now comes n Chicago
man who has discovered and appar.
emily perfected a process for convert
ing corn into powdered sugar. The
Chicago Sugar Refining company is
now turning out an article of powdered
sugar, made wholly of corn, that is
equal TO anything in the market. This
new corn sugar has ninety-seven per
cent. of saccharine strength, against
ninety-eight per cent. of the regular,
powdered sugar, but this loss of sweet
ness is more than made up in price.
The grain of this new corn sugar is
not quite so fine as the regular pow
dered sugar, but this is claimed as an
advantage, as it will not cake OF be-
come lumpy. Atlanta Constitution.

Fountain of Youth In Maine.

A Maine man named Appleton Pur-
sol claims to have discovered spring
of water which, if it is not the fountain
of youth for which Ponce de Leon
searched in vain, Mt least produces
much of the effects which that fabu-
lous spring was said TO cause. Pur-
sol was told of the existence of the
spring by an old woodsman, and set
ont to find it. When he returned to
his home, his friends hardly recog-
nized him. From an old-appearing
man of 62 years he looks now to be
not more than 40. His griZzled and
wrinkled skin has become brown and
fresh looking, while his gray hair has
turned black. He says that he found
the spring and camped near it for q
week, drinking large quantities of
the water during that time. He has
been afflicted with rheumatism for
number of years, but it has left him
now. In describing the water Pursol
lays special stress on the curious ting
ling effect produced by it, and it is
thought that this may he caused by
the percolation of the water through
magnetic ore, and its thus bccomig
strongly charged with electricity,
which might account for It's revivify-
ing qualities. Pursol's story has
aroused so much interest in the vicin-
ity of his town that numerous expedi-
tions are preparing to go to the spot
where the miraculous springis is claimed
to exist.-Detroit Free Press.

There are many ingenious and en-
terprising convicts in the Florida
camps. Recently certain circum-
stances led the boss in charge of one
of the convict camps near Albion to
make an investigation. The result
was that complete outfit for distil-
ling whiskey was discovered in one of
the phosphate pits near the stockade
One of the negro convicts had made
worm from iron pipe, and, with an iron
pot fitted with plank cover, had con-
structed an apparatus with which he
could distill whiskey from the corn
bread given him to eat. 1t is said
that two of the guards were in part
nership with him. 1t is also reported
that copper coil belonging to feed
water purifier on the drelgeboat in
the camp was stolen few nights ago,
and it is supposed it is now doing
duty as producer of the ardent
spirits. About two years ago it was
reported that one of the white convicts
was making counterfeit money.-At.

Large Waists Fashionable.

Large waists are said to be coming
in fashion again; but, curiously
enough, it seems to be the aim OF all
dressmakers and tailors to give the
long, slender lines and as small waist
ms it is possible with any breathing
power, and the lines of braid on some
of the new jackets are most cleverly
arranged to taper in at the waist and
broaden out over the shoulders. To
be tightly screwed into a waist a
jacket does not make the figure any
smaller, fact it would be we'll for all
women to know, and good fit, which
makes any one look smart, always
gives plenty of room over the bust
and is only tight at and below the
true waist line.

White Gloves Again.

Naught completes the diaphanous

spoils summer costume so quickly
and effectually as q dingy glove. But
then it is so easy to clean white
gloves, and they look so well when
they are cleaned, that there is no en-

A short time ago an eccentric mil
lionaire died Mt Vienna, who, during
his lifetime, was collector in the full
sense of the word. He lived alone in
large dwelling, and when his heirs
appeared they found nothing of value
except the collections. In one trunk
O magnificently arranged stamp collec-
tion, worth about S120, 600, was found;
three cabinets were full of unused
railroad tickets from all parts of the
globe, representing face value of
several hundred thousand dollars, ar
ranged in geographical order. This
collection is most interesting, since it
contains some specimens of the very
first beginning of railroading, among
other tickets ride from Troy to AL
bany, and from Albany to Newburg,
issued during the first years existence
of the railroad between those points.
The collection of coins found COM
prised more than $4,000 specimens,
and was sold for S22O, 600. The stamp
collection was bought by an English
dealer for S75, 900, but nobody has yet
been found who wants to give any
thing at all for the collection of rail-
road tickets, which is considered
nnique, but which was rejected by the
Austrian and German governments, to
which it was offered, because of the
enormous price asked for it by the
heirs. While he spent during his life
time more than $50, 900 on this collec-
tion, the heirs will he satisfied to real
ize less than third of that sum for
the sale of it.-LOndon Mail.

tunity, has never been able TO do so

Cline of Lancaster in the in1pduction
of his newly patented car for the ship

swine. A large number of these cars
are to put into service on the Reading
railway. The Lancaster Intelligencer,
describing the car, without stalls, spe-
cially designated for shipping horses
or cattle, says:
'The car Is provided with trough
running along either side, into which
water is run for the stock from large
tanks in the top of the car and con-
nected by pipes. The troughs are so
arranged that when not in use they
can he turned so as to be entirely ont

iron racks of hay which can be raised
or lowered for horses or cattle, or put
entirely out of the way when not in
use. On top is hayloft also, and the
racks are fed by the motion of the car.
On the sides are ventilators, which are
moved by the wind, and there are a
