A Mania For Counting.

Many persons are troubled with the
annoying, though slight nervous affec-
tion which compels them to count the
objects which surround them-fence-
rails, the windows of houses, etc. The
writer was even acquainted with one
unfortunate individual whose onerous,
but irresistible task it was to count all
the buttons upon the garments of the
persons with whom he came in con-
tact. His affliction pales, however,
before that of an unfortunate young
man who recently appeared before the
Bordeaux Society Of Anatomy and
Physiology. This person, although OF
perfect mental equilibrium, is COM
PEELED, by some unexplainable impulse,
to count each letter of every word he
speaks, thinks, writes or hears. The
rapidity with which he does so is ex-
traordinary. For instance, if an inter-
locutor says to him, as rapidly as he
could enunciate the words: "Can you
tell me how many letters there are in
the words I am speaking?" the response
would be instant, "Fifty-five."
The young man, who is twenty-seven
years old, is very Intelligent, and has
had no hereditary antecedents which
might explain his popularity. Since
the age of ten he has been counting
from the moment he walked until he
slept again. He never stops for an in
stant, and if he hears no spoken words
he talks to himself, SO that he may
nevertheless count This complicated
and automatic occupation does not,
however, prevent him from performing
ordinary tasks, reading, Or keeping up
conversation. But all the while he
is counting.

MAY BE MORPHINE MAD.
Probate Judge ShOt-Cause of the
Trouble.

WOODSTOCK, VT, Aug. 26-HOn. ThOs.
G. Seaver, judge OF probate for Windsor
county, has Just been shot by William w.
Lawrence while standing on the piazza OF his
residence, the ball penetrating his right lung,
lodging under the shoulder blade. The at
tending physician thinks he will recover, al
though his age, beyond 80 years. will tell
against him. Lawrence surrendered himself
to Sheriff Thomas after the shooting ami
was lodged in jail to await a hearing. The
troubles which led to the assault began early
in 1896, when Mrs. Lawrence left her hus-
band and child aud applied to Judge
Seaver for the appointment OF guar
dian over the girl, who was about 7.
Judge Seaver granted an injunction re-
straining Lawrence from interfering with
the girl in any way. At the last session OF
the court Mrs. Lawrence petitioned for u
divorce on the grounds Of intolerable sever
ity and refusal to support. The case was
dismissed because Of insufficient evidence.
The Injunction was removed and Lawrence
was given permission to see his child. Law.
renee conducted his own defence, refus-
ing counsel. On the morning Of tho
tragedy Lawrence called upon judge
Seaver and entered into hot
discussion with him. The judge ordered
Lawrence to leave the house and followed
him to the door, where Lawrence drew a re-
yolyer and fired two shots, tho first OF which
took effect as stated. At the Jail Lawrence
was searched and small quantity of NOR
phine was found upon him. This, it is
thought. may explain why he has mt times
appeared to be mentally unbalanced. Judge
Seaver IA highly respected and has been
Judge OF the probate court for many years.

knees beside him, she began dabbing
helplessly at his face with her hand

"Charlie! Charlie! Oh, Charliel"
she walled, regardless of the staring
faces-regardless of everything save
that the man she had sworn she hated
was apparently dying, or dead.
Charlie slowly opened his eyes.

ONLY A CATSPAW.
End of Sensational Attack on the
Gould Millions,

Gould Millions.
NEW YORK, Aug. .26-About two years ago
rumOr was started and taken up, to the ef-
feet that q woman living at Rouse's Point,
N. Y, claimed to be, and held proofs that
she was, Jay Gould's widow; that she had
married him in 1853, when he was but II and
she Is; that he had deserted her; that she had
II child by him, a daughter, now grown to wom-
anhood, and thnt she, Sarah Anne Brown
Angel. was the widow and she md her
daughter, Mary Jane Pierce, were the only
heirs of the Gould millions The facts OF
this now worldwide case, and at the same
tine one Of the most gigantic frauds OF this
iln-de-siecle period, are now known and un-
derstood. The attempt to invalidate Jay
Gould's marriage to Ellen Miller and the
dastardly effort to besmirch his children
with the stain OF illegitimacy Is more in
credible from the fact that the instru-
ment chosen for the consummation Of the
scheme was woman, entirely uneducated,
utterly incapable OF realizing what the
Gould millions meant, and stranger than
any fiction, strictly, rgidly honest. The
woman was simply poor. ignorant catspaw
OF a party of lawyers and a female detective
who thought to reap harvest of gold, while
few crumbs from tho rich pickings. The
latter has spoken at last, and has SOL
emnly declared: ~ never was married
to Jay Could" She thinks that she
only saw him once or twice in her
girhood, when no was surveying in the
neighborhood of Lake Champlain. The
case has be n before the public on account
Of a number OF hearings during the past
month, and testimony has been taken here,
in Canada and In the West. Things were
looking rather bright for the claimant, but
the testimony was very contradictory, and
Judge Brown, who acted on behalf of Mrs.
Angell's mother, had said that Mrs. Angel
had told him that she had not married Gould.

Engaged Thirty Years.

A bright example in constancy and
filial devotion is afforded in the ex-
perience of couple recently welded
in Liberty Township, Indiana, the
newly married pair being Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Foreman, who reside on
their 4O0-acre farm near Greentown.
In point of age both bride aud groom
have passed the half-century mark.
Though lovers from early childhood
and betrothed from youth, the mar
riays was deferred until now, the en-
gayement covering period of thirty
years, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.
Young Foreman had stepmother
to whom he was greatly attached and
to whom he solemnly pledged support
during her lifetime, promising not to
marry while she remained alive. Con-
trary to expectations, the invalid and
dependent stepmother lived until a
year u more ago. During this long
wait of nearly third of century the
lovers scrupulously observed their
vows, toiling on through the years
without u thought of disregarding the
pledges given the stepmother or break
ing faith in any manner whatever.
They grew gray, lived frugally, saved
their earnings and patiently bidcd
their time. g,
When death removed the barrier tho
lovers had accumulated sufficient
means to buy the largest farm in the
township. The minister first engaged
to perform the marriage ceremony
died of old age many years ago, and q
divine of new generation officiated
at the long delayed wedding. -"

Canning Blackberries and Raspberries.

Select firm raspberries, and put
them into q colander, which sink gradu-
ally into pan of cold water. Left and
drain. Arrangeneatly in the cold jars,
then fill with cold water, adjust the
rubhers and place the lids carelessly
on top. Do not fasten them. Place a
little hay, straw or excelsior in the
bottom Of an ordinary wash-boiler, on
which stand the jars. Pour into the
boiler sufficient cold water to come
nearly to the neck of the jars, cover
the boiler and bring slowly to boiling
point. As soon as the water reaches
boiling point lift each jar carefully and
screw on the top. Stand out of the
draught to slowly cool. Strawberries
and blaokberries may be canned after
this rule. Mrs. s. T. Rorer, in Ladies'
Home Journal.

A large book bindery may have a
capacity of 10, 900 books q day. The
resources of some of these binderies
are wonderful. There is an instance
on record where publishing house
took an order on Monday for cloth
covered 12mo volume of $50 pages and
actually shipped 1000 copies Of the
book on the following Wednesday.
The type was set by machinery for the
entire $50 pages before work stopped
Monday night. Electrotype plates
we're mdde so rapidly that on Tuesday
morning several printing presses were
set in motion. In the meantime covers
were. made in the bindery, and by
Wednesday morning the binders had
the book in hand. Two thousand
volumes were completed that day, and
the edition of 10000 was entirely out
of the way before Saturday night. In
modern book binding machinery, as in
the production of printing presses,
America leads the world, and no other
nation can equal it in the speed and
general effectiveness with which all
branches of the industry are carried
out.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Household Hints.

Vegetables growing above the
ground should be cooked in salted
water, those below, in fresh water.
Colors which have been changed by
the application of acids may be re-
stored by the application of chloro-
form.
When cooking onions, set tin cup
of vinegar on the stove and let boil,
and no disagreeable odor will be in the
room.
Fruit stains, when fresh, may be
removed by pouring water through
the stained portion until the spot dis
appears.
Ink that is freely split upon a carpet
should be covered with common or
coarse salt or Indian meal. If all the
stain is not absorbed rub with lemon
juice.
Grass stains should be rubbed with
molasses thoroughly and then washed
out as usual. Another treatment is
to rub with alcohol and then wash
in water.
q. Our fruit stains may be removed
vita oxalic acid; wash the stained por-
ton in the acid till clear; rinse at
once in rain water. as the acid will at
tack the fabric if left upon it. Now
wet the spot in ammonia and give
final rinsing.
When potatoes are thoroughly baked,
burst the skin, and you will have de.
licious, mealy potatoes that will be
eatable for IN hour or more if kept in
a warm place. If you are not in the
habit of doing this, you do not know
what an excellent thing baked pota-
to really is. =,
Rust and ink stains should be
rubbed with juice of lemon and the
spot then covered with salt and the
cloth placed in the sun. II this treat
ment does not serve to remove the
stain, Or if the fabric is colored and
80 cannot be treated with lemon
b juice so1alic acid may be used as for
old fruit stains.
Tea, coffee and undoubtedly cocoa
stains, even those which had been pre-.
viously washed, may bo rubbed i'll
javelle water, if the fabric stained be
white, otherwise the color will be
bleached. Take half.pint of the ia-
velle water to quart of clear water
and let the stained portion Of the cloth
soak in it for several hours, then rinse
thoroughly in three waters.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
Brother and Sister Reunited
Thought There Was III Feeling.

SYRACUSE, N. V, Aug. 26-James Speers
OF Lynn. Mass, a boot and shoe dealer,
aged Is years, stopped in this city while on
the way to the q. A. II. cncampment at
Buffalo. He went to the home OF Thomas
Purdy, 3l5 Centre street, and inquired for
Mrs. Maria Purdy, Thomas's mother. The
latter was sent for. but at first she did not
know the stranger. Mrs. Purdy is 7S years
old and is very feeble. When Mr.Speers mem
toned his name she hesitated and then burst
into tears. She realized that she was in the
presence OF her brother. whom she had not
seen in years. aud whom she believed to be
dead. There was happy reunion. Mrs.
Purdy was born in q province In the north
of Ireland. About fifty years ago her brother
James emigrated to this country. Later he
enlisted In the army and fought In the civil
war. Mrs. Purdy came to this country soon
after her brother. and for two years kept com.
muni,ating with him. Then he announced
that he was going to marry a Catholic girl.
His sister tried to dissuade him, saying that
the family were firm Presbyterians, and
opposed the marriage. Mr.. Speers king
that there was some ill-feeling, did not write
again. This was over 40 years ago. Lately

Excellent Cucumber Pickle.

Make q ten.gallon keg of strong
brine on which an egg will float. Put
the oucumbers in bag made of a
yard of sleezy white cotton, tie up its
mouth with string and place clean
stone on it to keep it in place under
the brine, and every cucumber is safe
and sound until you wish to pickle
them. When that time comes, which
should not be for six weeks, soak
them in fresh water for twenty -four
hours. Then put them in preserv-
ing kettle with enough vinegar to
cover them. Set them ON the stove
and boil gently until straw can easily
pierce them. Have ready jar that
will hold them. Remove from the
kettle and throw the vinegar away.
Put into the kettle nearly twice as
much vinegar as they were boiled in
and set on the stove to boil. Now
weigh the cucumbers, and allow
quarter of pound of sugar to every
pound of cucumbers. In every ten
pounds of pickle allow three onions
and half an ounce of mace, cloves,
alspice, ginger and two three-inch
sticks of cinnamon, quarter of an
ounce each of tumeric, black pepper
and mixed mustard, one ounce of
white mustard seed and one ounce of
scraped horse radish. Slice the
onions, crack the spices, mix the
mustard and tumeric together into a
smooth paste. Put all of the sugar
and half of the spices into the vinegar
that is in the kettle; sprinkle the rest
of the spice with the other ingredients
in alternate layers between the GU
cumbers as you put them in the jar.
When the vinegar has been boiling
just ten minutes stir into it the mixed
mustard and tumeric and remove it
instantly from the fire and pour over
the pickles. Cover it up closely and
set it away. In few days it will be
ready for use. The traveller was not
far wrong when he pronounced it
