Fools and Fools,

Fools ana FOOLS.
A middle aged woman who was
riding upon a Payne avenue grip
car yesterday morning signaled the
conductor to stop in front of the
Arcade. Before the a had come
to a standstill she scrambled over
two seats in order to get off on the
inside. As her feet struck the
ground she saw a Superior street
car about five feet away and rush,
ing on toward her.
She gave a shrek, stepped back
and was almost dragged under the
car from which she had alighted.
People who were watching her sup
posed that she would be killed, but
by cool work upon the part of the
gripman she escaped uninjured.
Thunder" exclaimed a big man
upon one of the front seats of the
Payne avenue grip car. What fools
some people arei They'll risk their
lives to save half a dozen steps OF
three seconds of time. II l could
have my way, I'd never let a wom-
an go down town without sending
somebody who had along to
keep her from making a BANKED
fool of herself"
He kept on mumbling about it I'M
til the car had reached Seneca
street, where there are four tracks,
with caIs running very near to-
gether upon all of them nearly al
the time.
Then, without looking around tc
see whether the way was clear OF
not, he swung off, stepped i'll front
of a Woodland avenue train, and
saved himself by making one of the
greatest jumps of his life when the
gong of the motor was sounded
about four feet from his ear.-Cleve
land Leader.
A Merited Rebuke

was saying that a woman knows
nothing of economy" exclaimed
the business mans wife as she sur,
veyed the scene of the burglary.

VALUE OF ~ASCETlClSM.
It Protected Charles XII When He Fled
Into Turkey.

Into Turkey.
When Charles XII fed into Tur-
key, the Turkish soldiers very soon
learned to regard him as IA holy
man. 1t was all very well to say he
was only an infidel, but a king who
was impervious to love, who drank
no wine, who cared nothing for the
pleasures of the table, who thought
little of money, who lay harder and
Jared worse than the common sol
der and who was diligent in his
religious observancces was, come
what might, a man to be honored
and worshiped. Hence, when it
came to fighting, the fierce JAM
zaries would not touch a hair of
Charles head and would rather
lose their own lives than harm him.
And undoubtedly the Turkish sol
diers in a sense judged we'll. Charles
asceticism no doubt gave him "A pow
or over and an insight into men not
given to those whose noses were al
ways in the trough of bodily pleas
ure. He would not have been the
magnetic creature he was, the pos
SCISSOR of the true demonic power,
unless he had so entirely subdued
the longings of the flesh. The vic
tory over the senses which he won
early in life gave him cess to that
hill where the air is always clear
and unclouded, and whence, raised
above the throng, II may perceive
the scope and order of the conflict
of life. We doubt indeed whether
many really great men-we do not
mean to include the second rate men
who have by accident done great
things-in the world of statesmen
and rulers could be named who have
been without a certain touch of as
ceticism, or at any rate without a
comprehension of the ~ascetic stand
point. Napoleon is perhaps the
greatest exception, for Alexander,
though he sometimes drank, seemed
to his countrymen an ascetic.
Be that as it may, the ground on
which mankind pay Difference to
ascetism is clear enough. The ascetic
is prima facie a man who has won "a
victory over powers which ordinary
people feel to be sc strong and SO
difficult to subdue. Most men, when
they think of the matter at all, real
ize that in the body and its desires
they have a most formidable enemy
intrenched, if not within, at any rate
at the very gates of the soul. They
see by countless examples around
them that if the foe is not kept I'm.
der and is allowed to get full con
troll he will ruin and destroy what
Bunyan called 1.-The town of Mans
Soul" Most men no doubt arrive
at a more or less reasonable under
standing with the powers of the
flesh and conclude a treaty with
them which they trust and believe
will be Loyalty observed on both
sides. The. stronger natures are quite
satisfied with this arrangement,
feel secure in their treaty and le-
gard it as practically as good as a
victory. 1t is better indeed, they
say, and say truly, to have the foe
at liberty on an honorable parole
and not oppressed OF treated with
suspicion or put under lock and
key. But, though the stronger ma
lures may like to see the powers
of the flesh at large, yet under
strict control, and may have no
yearning for a private dungeon, it
Is not always SO with the weaker
London Spectator.

HOW CELLULolo Is MADE.
Produced by the Combined Action OF
Pressure and Heat.

Pressure and Heat.
Celluloid is made by the combined
action of pressure and heat, or with
the aid of solvents, in that case in
the cold. The camphor is dissolved
in alcohol, as little as possible, and
the solution sprayed through a rose
on to the pyroxylin, which must
be perfectly dry. A second layer
of pyroxylin is added, moistened
again with camphor solution, and
SO on. The gelatinous lumpi is work
ed between iron rollers, to which it
adheres. The layer is split longitu-
dinally and rolled again.
The cakes, o. inch thick, are cut
into plates about Q feet by 1 foot,
which pass for "a hours into by.
lraulic presses, which are doubly
steam jacketed. The mass is now
sawed into plates, which are dried at
about 95 degrees +. for a week or
two, and finally cut into smaller
pieces, from which the articles are
stamped. Further particulars are
difficult to obtain. The writer in
the Gummi Zeitung believes, how
ever, that Magnus q Co. of Berlin
pour 100 parts of ether on 80 Of
collodion wool and 25 of camphor
and stir the covered mass in earth
enware vessels with rubber sticks
until a homogeneous gelatinous
mass is obtained, which is then roll
ed. At st. Denis ethyl alcohol is
said to be used. Apart from dye
stuff and other additions the cellu.
loid consists on an average of two
thirds of pyroxylin and one-third
of camphor. More camphor imparts
an unpleasant smell and impairs the
strength of the product. The chem
ical constitution of celluloid is still
doubtful.
The celluloid is generally sup.
piled in rods of 3 feet in length, or
in plates of 80 inches by l@rAclles,
of a yellowish color, unless dyed. 1t
cannot be exploded by heat, blows
or friction. 1t burns, but the flame
can easily be blown out. 1t leayes
an ash skeleton, which continues to
sparkle family for some time. 1t is
soluble in ether alcohol, while either
of the ingredients alone only at
tacks the camphor.
Concentrated acids and caustic al
kalis decompose IL carbonize the
celluloid. While the finished article
is not dangerous, the manufacture
is highly SO. Various additions to
render the celluloid less inhamma-
BILE T. hardly required. The small
er articles T cut ready in the cold,
dipped into hot water, bent and
shaped, and plunged into cold water
again to retain their shape. Larger
articles are pressed in heated molds.

tons, the articles lose their shape.
The comb manufacture is simpler
than with hard rubber. The teeth
+ stamped with dyes, by hand or
machinery, and then polished with
pumice stone and cold water. The
dyes r generally added at the
time when the pyroxylin and cam
phor are mixed. Striped articles are
obtained by superposition of plates
of different colors and cross cutting
of the compressed blocks. Surface
dyes may be dissolved in acetic acid
or acetic others, which slightly at.

Every woman will be glad to
know that it was a man who did it
"a man of wide experience i'll the
world in general and in methods of
travel in particular. He was a New
York man, and it was his first visit
to this western city. He had regis
tered, more by chance than any
thing else, at a certain hotel, taken
dinner there, and started out to take
his first view of the place. Almost
the first thing he did was to
across an acquaintance, who, by
reason of his superior knowledge of
the place, felt called upon to give
some advice.
"What hotel L you stopping at,
old mani" he asked. 1.-THE best ho-
tel here is the Metropolitan. That
is where am stopping, and you had
better come up there
At WILL" said the traveller, and a
little later, returning to his hotel,
he gave up his room and started out
to find the Metropolitan. Just
around the corner" said the hrst
Gf. ne asked. II will show YOU
and turning he guided the traveller
to he hotel he had just left, and the
latter, as he registered for a second
time in that hotel that day, thought
things to himself of the man who
could go to a hotel and not learn its
name.--New York Times.

The Company known through
out the world as the
CAL IFORN|A FIG SYRUP co

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the COmpany's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling "a laxative
remedy, which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneticially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

RICHEST ENLISTED MAN.
Only q Common Soldier, and Yet He Lai
Up q Fortune.

Only q Common Soldier, and Yet He Laid
Up Fortune.
With simple military honors the old
est and wealthiest enlisted man in the
United States army was buried in the
National cemetery at West Point re-
Gently.
He was Michael eastman, who fol
more than 40 years served in the army
service detachment stationed at the mil
itary academy. During the past few
years he has lived in Highland Falls,
enjoying the fruits of his long and
faithful service.
On the meager pay and allowance OF
an enlisted man eastman accumulated
a small fortune. 1t is figured all the
way from $50, 900 to 100000, no one
knowing the exact amount. The poor
old soldier worked increasingly and
boarded his little fortune because he
idolized an only child, beautiful young
girl.
She was educated at Mount st. Vim
cent, N. Y, and was afforded every op-
portunity to get an excellent education.
Last November the young woman died,
leaving an infant child. She died of a
broken heart, her mother having ex-
pired suddenly only short time before
The death of his daughter was a great
blow to the old soldier. 1t was unex-
pected, and he never recovered from the
shock

Life Saved by Hanging.

Charles Peachey, of MarblGhead,
Mass, who has been discharged from
the Salem hospital, Is the only. Elan in
the world with a mended backbone.
The surgeons had to hang him literally
by the neck In order to mend 1t. But
they succeeded, and his case is now at
tracing attention. The patient had
been at the hospital since Oct. "a. All
that he requires now Is time in order
to make him as good man as he was
before his back was broken.
The case has been one Of great inter-
est from the first. Peachey was pick
ing apples from tree at the CroWnln-
shield farm, when the limb broke and
he fell distance Of twenty feet, strik-
ing on his back. Upon examination 1T
was found that his back was broken,
and he was sent to the Salem hospital.
In order to reduce the fracture it was
necessary to resort to unusual meth
DDS. 1t could not be done with the pa
tient lying in bed or in any other or
dinary position. 1t was necessary to
hang him by the head and neck.
So suspended in midair, the trunk
was tightly bandaged with strips of
cotton cloth saturated with plaster of
paris. When this dried his form was
held and supported firmly. This un-
comfortable suit Of clothing was not
removed until Nov. 10, when 1t was
found that the fractured vertebrae had
knit together successfully. The back
bone had been broken right on line
with the shoulder blade, and the spinal
cord had been lacerated. This injury
had also been healed.
The patient is now able to sit up In
chair. He is able to move his head
and arms, but has no control Of his
body below his shoulders yet, owing to
the paralysis of the nerves. This, how
ever, will be only temporary.

A Curious Natural phenomenon

One Of the most curious natural phe-
nomena, and one which has never vet
been explained by the philosophers, is
that In reference to the expansion Of
freezing water. The case Of water Is
a singular exception to all natural laws
of expansion by heat and contraction
by cold which apply In cases of all 9TH
er known liquids. When water is
freezing, it contracts In bulk down to
the point where the mercury reaches
the reading Of 1914 degrees, or ~ de-
grees above freezing, from which point
it slowly expands according to the in
tensity of cold. No other liquid Is
known to possess this remarkable prop
erty, except that certain metals ex-
pand slightly in passing from a liquid
to a solid state. But If heat be applied
to water after it has cooled down to a
temperature of 1914 degrees-the point
where 1t Is ready to begin expanding,
should greater degree Of cold be ap-
plied-it will Immediately expand by
the universal law. But should we low
er the temperature to 80 degrees it
will expand by it's own special law.
Another curious point to be noted here
Is this-the amount Of expansion Is as
great in water lowered from 391a de-
grees down to 80 degrees as 1t is in
water that has been heated so that the
temperature runs from 391a to Al de-
grees. These points are certainly odd
and curious and worthy of attention
and experiment.
