permit large turning around. Opera

small, and the Arbitage dealings
hardly counted as factor. In only q

he Made Improper Proposals to a Young
Dalton Girl.
Gadsden, Ala, Nov. 1S.-Consider-
able excitement exists at Alfalfa over
the alleged attempt Of F. B. Box, of
Gadsden, to ruin a thirteen -year-old
girl. Little Miss Isenhower, of Dali
ton, Ga, arrived in Alfalfa Tuesday
evening, bound for her home. While
waiting in the depot for her train, Box
approached her and became very COM
municative, purchased her ticket, and
as it was some time before the train
came, proposed walk through town.
TO this she consented, and while they
were walking he tried TO persuade her
to remain over night and accompany
him into the country. She became
indignant, swore out a warran
against him and he was arrested.
Excitement in Alfalfa is intense,
and the good people of that town are
highly incensed. The girl had on
short dresses that barely reached to
her shoe tops.
Box has a very unsavory reputation
in this respect, as we'll as otherwise
He has wife and grown children
living here in Gadsdsn.

satisfactory and that there have been
no new developments of an encourag-
ing nature.

rIedicaI Effects of Electricity.

In a recent communication to the So
ciete International des Electricians
concerning the therapeutic and physiO-
logical effects of high-frequency cur
rents, M. d'Arsonval showed the pow
erful inductive effects which can be
obtained with these currents. A strik-
ing experiment consists of placing three
lamps in tension, allowing the current
to pass through the body. These cur
rents cause no sensations. and a man
placed in a circuit does not feel that
he is tranversed by the currents which
brilliantly illuminate the lamps. The
principal results of this Identification
are an augmentation of the oxidatiOns
in the organism and an increase in the
production of heat A subject who, I'M
der ordinary conditions, eliminates II
to 81 litres of carbonic acid per hour
throws off 81 litres after having been
submitted to this action. High-fre-
Quency currents do not act solely upon
the surface of the body, but also pro-
foundry upon the interior. All of these
results have been obtained upon a
number of subjects by NM. ApostoH
and Charrin.
NJ. d'Arsonval cited, in closing, the
action exerted upon microbes and bac-
terra by these currents. The microbes
and bacilli are modified, and the tox-
ines are killed and transformed to vac
cine. NM. d'Arsonval and Charrin hope
by this method to arrive at a direct
treatment for the interior of the bodies
of patients suffering with symotic dis
ease, and experiments to this end have
begun.-ElectricaI World

Mr.. Lecky in the House of Commons.

The reception accorded by the House
of Commons to Mr.. Lecky has exploded
the popular fallacy that the House is
jealous of an outside reputation. Mr..
Lecky spoke only for some minutes. He
rose from the third seat from the bar
on the second bench on the ministerial
side below the gangway, and addressed
the Chair from practically the end of
the chamber. His appearance was
greeted with loud and enthusiastic
cheers from every quarter of the House,
popular candidates by their supporters
on election platforms. Mr.. Lecky
spoke without notes, in a somewhat
thin, clear voice, which was distinctly
heard in every corner of the House
The speech which was admirably put
together, was delivered with great force
and the impression produced was uni
versally favorable.
Lecky's parliamentary manner is al
ready formed, and he need have no
fear of the fate of Mr.. Kinglake. the
historian of the Crimea, whose delivery
was so poor and ineffective that a
speech made by him in the early part
of a sitting to empty benches was re-
produced later in the evening by the
late Sir Robert Peel, whose resonant
accents charmed the members, whose
congratulations he repealed by the can
did confession that he had obtained his
facts from listening to Mr.. kinglake's
MISUNDERSTANDING Gazette.

men themselves, who knew just what
| had happened to her, and the sort of
night that those on board had spent. She
went as close up to the Vanguard as she
dare keeping off the dangerous fringe of
the sands.
Smack ahoyi" shouted the cock
swain, raising his burly figure in the
boat, each leg held in a comrades un-
yielding embrace. Catch the line, an
one O. you come aboard quick; then Well
cast again for t'other."
He threw a rope with unerring aim.
and the skipper caught it.
Quick" the cockswain roared, "afore
you drop to bits-you're in a bad way.
What's the smack-Vanguard, amt it?
We can 'ardly tell"
AYE" shouted the skipper. "'Aul in

He made the rope fast round the
boys waist. ''W'en I say Co. you've
got to tumble overheard, an they'll ave
you in the lifeboat in a jiffey. Then
they'll send for me-"
"An right, skipper; I'm not afeared."
Sharp there's 'eavy sea a-comin',"
the cockswain shouted warningly.
Ready" sang the skipper. Co.. he
added to the boy. He pushed him over
board and the boatmen dragged the
little figure through the creamy seas,
and the cockswain's strong arms drew
him breathless into the boat.
The skipper looked forward, and saw
the deadly LIQUID wall advancing-the
last mad charge of his relentless foe.
He had seen too many hills of death
like that to misconstrue it's meaning. He
rose to his full hight, majestic in his last
stand, and steadied himself against the
jagged mast.
Tell 'em ashore to give the insurance
money to the widders, and the ten pun
in the bank to the boy"
The crew heard him, and Understood
afterwards
But We'll bring you off wen this sea
s past" shouted the cockswain, as the
lifeboat met the wave, bows on.
She rose up almost vertically as she
headed into it, then ran down the other
side in a smother of spray.
They did not see the skipper wave his
last good-by, nor did they hear him say,
Il done wrong, but I'm not afeard now;
I'm payin' for it, Don't bother about
me; see to the widders an the boy
The sea came on. It broke in a tower
ing cloud above the Vanguards stern,
and crumbled around the dissolving
smack. The strained timbers We're rent
asunder once for all, and the skipper
was carried into deep water
When the wave had spent itself the
rescuers gazed for a moment at the
wreckage; then, knowing what had hap
pened they bent to their oars, and the
lifeboat swept across the bar and en-
tered peaceful waters.-Chahmbe

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

The fowls of the air, they know no care,
But cheer the days with songs of joy;
The beasts of the field, their natures yield,
The contentment that nothing can de-

But man looks out on his fields about,
And wonders what the morn will bring
He spends his life in hours of strife,
And never has the heart to sing.

A1nal Of Corn Harvesrers.

Mr.. Julian Bryan, agent of the Deering
company in this quarter, related to us a
few days ago the circumstances Of a con-
test which took place between the Deering
and the Mccormick corn harvesters nea I
Manassas. A gentleman. Mr.. Robert Port
ner of that neighborhood, who is a large
farmer, agreed with the Deering and Nc
Cormick companies that he would buy the
machine of whichever proved in satisfac-
tory trial the lighter in draft and did the
better work. The trial was to take place
in piece of heavy enslage on Mr.. Port
ner's farm. On the day set both machines
were in readiness and began to work at the
same time. Many neighbors had come to
see the contest. and everybody was deeply
interested. 1t was soon discovered that the
Deering had greatly the advantage in light
ness of draft and general excellence OF
work, and in many respects Outclassed the
Mccormick, so much so that Mr.. POrtnel
had no hesitation in making up his mind to
take Deering. Another gentleman who
had been believer in the Mccormick ma
chine and had come especially from Rapid.
an to see it work, changed his mind and
ordered Deering. This corn harvester i:
being rapidly introduced. 1t is stated thai
during the trial the sonorous laugh of Mr.
BRYAN could be heard above the noise OF
the machines.
