ECCENTRIC CHARACTER GONE.
Death of n Money Miscr Whose Room
Was a CuriCs ty.

Eccentric John Weisbrode, Of Cum.
berland, Nd, is dead. He had lived as
a recluse and was eccentric to the Ut
most degree. During his illness he re-
fused medicine until this morning,
when he took the first dose in his life.
Mr.. Weisbrode was native of Ger
many, He leaves a sister, residing in
New York, and q niece by marriage,
Mrs. Maggie Wiesbrode, widow, liy-
ing in Cumberland. He owned a store
building on Center street, nearly oppO-
site the city hall, which he rented, liv-
ing in rooms in the rear, He also owned
a city lot, which he cultivated raising
tobacco, besides vegetables. He was
reputed to be worth $4,000, but he
lived in squalor.
His rooms are a curiosity. In one Of
them he had nearly goo pounds of leaf
tobacco, which he had saved since the
war, when he was cigarmaker and
barber. He was also a shoemaker and
q timer. In his room are also thirty
sewing machines, which he kept since
the war, when he was an agent. He re-
fused to sell them except at the original
price. He also had two printing presses
and many cases of type, and nearly
carload of crooks and jars. His food
was bread and milk. He did his own
cooking, and his expenses were not
over IS cents a day. He made his own
clothes. Some years ago he operated
a steamboat on the canal. He made the
most of the machinery himself. Not
withstanding his apparent penury, he
practiced charity, but made every effort
to shield his identity. He was noted
for his honesty.-Cumberland MD dis

Notice appears in London Invention
of a peculiar product, under the name
of soap stock, prepared in Brindisi,
which is largely utilized on account OF
its special properties. 1t is prepared by
subiecting the residue Of olive kernels
to chemical processes under the action
of sulphuric acid, after all means OF
extraction by pressure have been eX-
hausted OF this substance, 1t is stated
that during the year 1894 the quantity
nroduced amounted to about 1,2OO tons,
tbe medium market price for which
ranged at some 500 per ton. The arti-
Gle in question, which is Of little value
as a lubricator, has a ready sale among
soap manufacturers, and in years when
the oil crop has been favorable, consid-
cradle quantities have been exported to
this country, Great Britain and North
ern Europe. This oil is locally known as
colo sulfureo," or sulphur oil, from the
method of its extraction. The refuse re-
naming after the extraction is used
for fuel for steam boilers by millers as
a matter of economy.

A girl who lives in little town In the
West, not far from a railway crossing
looked out of the window the other day
and saw a laborer jump from one track
to the other to escape an approaching
freight train. He was apparently dazed
by terror, and stood still, not seeing
that behind an express train was rush
ing down upon him.
The girl saw that before she could
make him understand his danger ii
would be too late. She therefore threw
ND her arms, shrieklng wildly, Help!
help! helpw trusting to the impulse
which sends a man on the instant to
the relief of a woman in distress.
I'm comingw shouted the Irishman,
springing toward her in time to escape
the engine rs it rushed past. He stared
back at it, and then at the woman cry
ing and laughing at the window, and,
taking Off his hat with shaking hands,
said:
Il owe you something, miss" and
walked away,

Lot Of Things In This Woman's Stomach,

Lot Of Things In This Woman's Stomach,
In a German medical paper is an in
teresting paper by DR.. Fricker of Odes-
sa describing an extraordinary case in
which several foreign bodies were re-
moved from the stomach of a woman
aged 80 years who several times at
tempted suicide by swallowing petro-
lepm and Carbolic acid, and then solid
substances such as needles, nails, and
small buttons At first the patient
made no complaint after performing
these exploits, but subsequently eXpe-
rienced much pain. Various forms Of
treatment had been tried for the gen.
eral conditions, such as baths, electric
ity etc, but without avail. A tender
swelling appeared in the left side of the
abdomen, and an operation was decid-
ed upon An abscess was found in the
region of the swelling, and the stomach
had evidently been perforated, but the
site Of the perforation could not be dis
covered. With all due precautions tho
stomach was opened and the following
bodies removed: A key, a silver tea
spoon, a metal teaspoon, a fork two
wire lacks, two hairpins, two pieces OF
glass, one window hook, one steel pin,
nine sewing needles, one piece of black
lead, one shoe button, one grape stone,
two small Jumps of tin, and one GRO
Chef hook. The stomach was washed
out with sterilized salt solution and the
wound closed. The patient made a good
recovery

Deafness Among School Children.

The fact that myopia is frequent
among school children is well known.
1t is not so well known that the i'm
paired hearing is also frequently met
with. The children thus affected are
often accused Of being lazy and mat
tentive. when in reality their ears are
at fault Helot shows that these cases
are quite common, are easily recog-
nized. are generally durable, and when
cured a large number of children are
transformed, so to. speak, both from a
physical and a moral standpoint. Ac'
cording to We'll, of Stuttgart, the pro-
portion Of school children with impair
ed hearing is SIS per cent; according tc
Moure. OF Bordeaux, II per cent Helot
agrees with Gele and other aurists that
the proportion is always . per cent, OF

A WINDY WELL.
Strange Underground Draft OF Air
Found ia a Deep Sinking.

. Strange Underground Draft OF All
Found ia Deep Sinking.
Arizona possesses some Of the great
act natural wonders in the world, not
tbe least Of which is this phenomenon
If a current of air issuing from or 60
inc into the bowels Of the earth through
spndry natural and artificial openings
mode In the carth's crust
something over year ago a Mr.
Coufman undertook the drilling of O
well at his place. Everything went
well to Il depth of some twenty-five
feet. when the drill suddenly dropped
some six feet and a strong current OF
mir issued from the hole. The escap.
Ing air current was so strong that II
blew Off the mems hats who were re.
covering the lost drill.
The well was of course abandoned
and left to blow, but there are some
pecullarltIes about it that are worthy
of observation. The air will escape
from the well for days at a time with
such force that pebbles the size of peas
are thrown out and piled up about its
mouth until 1t looks very much like the
expanded portion of a funnel. At the
same time it is accompanied by sound
much like the distant believing of a
fog horn. This noise is not always pres
ent because the air does not at all times

yrnth of Eolus
Just the cause of this phenomenon no
one has yet been able to determine.
but 1t is supposed that there is an un.
derground opening between the Grand
Canyon Of the Colorado, which cleaves
the earth for more than a mile in depth,
and the Sycamore canyon, some eighty
miles to the south of it, of the same
proportions, but much shorter.
This would seem possible from the
fact that the current Of air is always
passing from north to south, or vice
versa, varying, of course, a few points
Of the compass from the true melid-
ian, but always in these general dircc-
tons, as determined by experiment, and
then the stratum underlying the quater.

A new process of bread-making has
been introduced in Montreal which
promises to revolutionize bread-mak-
ing in Canada The process is technt-
cally known as the "antispire paniflca-
tor" and simply described is as fol-
lows: The wheat, just as it comes from
the threshing machines, is cleaned by
washing. The grain is then ready to
be reduced to a homogeneous paste or
dough, as the baker would call it, The
machine that does this is the feature
of the process. The one in use in Mon
treal is a small one, but capable of pro-
ducing eighty pounds of paste per hour.
1t stands about four feet high, with a
small hopper on top, in which the damp
grain is placed. The wheat disappears
into steel cylinder below, about two
and half feet long and six inches in
diameter. Inside is the patent steel
roller, driven in the case of this mach
inc by a motor of only three and one
half horsepower. At one end OF the
cylinder is a pipe of one-inch diameter,
and within two minutes after the wheat
is put into the hopper and the machine
started, the paste or dough begins to
flow in a continuous stream through
this pipe. This paste is the whole
wheat reduced. Nothing is lost. This
dough is then ready for the baker.
Salt added and yeast, the kneading
done, leaves made, and the process OF
rising begins, which in this case is
quicker than with bread made with
flour. The process is the invention OF
two Russians Of Odessa, but it was first
put in practice in Belgium, From there
it spread to Germany and England,
and is now introduced into Canada.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 1897.

The New York Herald, the owner of
which prefers Europe to this country as a
place in which to live and spend his
money, fights constantly and zealously
for the business interests OF the country
OF bis choice. The effort Of England be-
fore the Revolution to prevent the colon
les from manufacturing and to make them
dependencies Of the mother country, was
Ia the same line with that OF the free
traders OF to-day. The only result OF free
trade is TO cripple our manufacturers and
reduce labor to the condition of that in
Europe, il not that OF China and Japan.
1t is an effort, disguised by appeals
against "milllonaire manufacturer"
"truSts, "monopolies,' "eapitalistic
class, aud other terms, to mislead work
ing people of this country to their ruin
by exciting their predjudices toward peo-
pie without whom employment would be
impossible. The way to starve your en-
envy may be to destroy all the food, but
il this is done what will you have to eat Z
The Heraid has recently set Prof. Will
s,n at the job OF showing the blessings OF
low tariffs and no work for the working
man OF course, he doesn't put it just in
that way, but that is just the way that
every tariff that increased the importation
OF foreign made goods has resulted. If
the professor does not succeed any better
in his efforts to enlighten the readers Of
the Herdid than he did in his efforts to
raise revenue by his "lariff for revenue
only" bill, he will be a lamentable failure.
La view OF the distress, failure and
debt, governmental and personal, entailed
by trial Of a much mldcr dose Of free
trade than that devised by Wilson 10 his
original bill, The professor should go and
hide himself in the wilds Of West Virginia,
Instead OF wrggling around like dead
snake waiting for sunset.

Every now and then Democratic

mouth and remarks that the Wilson law

was the Mckinley law.

These figures show that the customs re-
ceipts under the Wilson law during its
entire operation from August 2Sth. 1894,
until May lst, 1897, aperiod of thirty Two
