Their Peculiar Aversions.

Most people have avers'ons OF
some kind or other, and some very
strange ones. The sight of set of
false teeth makes John L. Sullivan
sick at the stomach. Napoleon did
not like to see a white dog.
Agassiz could not bear to touch
polished steel. The sight of the
rising moon, when it was full, al
ways made Nine, De Stael ill.
Barefooted children made Louis
XIV. nervous. Dean Swift has said
that Bolingbroke would 'act like
one bereft should he cast his eye
on poor harmless toade" Dis
raeli had an attack of vertigo when
he saw anybody chewing gum.
Dickens never liked a stiff shirt
bosom, and Button would fly into q
rage if anyone put an egg on the
dining table at which he sat.

HIS FooT WE'VE TO SLEEP
u Never Walked Up and in Tw ~ y
Days the Man Was Dead.

u Never Walked Up and IN Tw p y
Days the Man Was Dead
W. A. Fox, Of Argentine, died in
the Santa Fe railway hospital at To
peka, directly from the effects OF his
foot going to sleep last election
day Absolutely no possible cxplana-
ton Of the strange case can be given
by the surgeons and physicians in
charge of it. Nothing in medical
science throws any light upon it. 1t
is the first and only instance Of the
kind known to the profession, and
has caused a sensation among its
mem bers.
w. A. Fox, who was 46 years old.
had been an engineer on the Atchi-
son, Topeka q Santa Fe railway for
several years, running out from
Argentine. He was well and fa-
vorably known there, and looked up
on as substantial citizen. During
the fall, when Mayor Willard made
his selections for election officers, he
appointed Fox as one of the Judges
in the Third ward.
On November 3, election day, Fox
took his place in the booth. He re-
manned there all day. At night he
began checking ballots. The task
lasted until morning, and all this
time Fox sat in one position, almost
without moving.
The morning of the 4th Fox went
home. He claimed that sitting in
the one position had caused his foot
to go to sleep. 1t panied him slight
ly, but he paid, no attention to it,
going to bed and sleeping nearly all
day and night. 1t was not until the
morning of the 9Th that the matter
became serious. Then Fox was
taken with sharp, jerking pains in
his left big toe. Day by day the
trouble spread through his foot and
up his leg, until the entire left limb
was lifeless. DR.. Chopper, the
Santa Fe's surgeon, was called in,
but could give no relief
After consultation over the
strange case it was decided that the
limb must necessarily be amputated
as the only means of arresting the
unknown disease. Finally Fox was
removed to the roads Topeka hos
pital Death overlook Fox one day,
before the operation was to have
been performed, the disease having
reached his heart
DR.. Chopper pronounced the case
one of the strangest in the annals OF
the medical world. He declared
that the disease was not rheuma-
tism, although it somewhat re-
sembled that. Neither was he pre-
pared to designate it as paralysis or
blood poisoning. He could not, he
said, tell what it was. Nor could
anyone else. Kansas City Times.

HEMP-OLEANING DEVICES.

Not One of the Many Patents Fills
All the Requirements.
1t is said that nearly 300 paten is
have been issued in the United
States for machines for breaking
hemp, many of which have proved
absolute failures, while none of
them have filed the requirements of
an economically successful hemp
cleaning device, the Kentucky hemp
grower Of to-day relying upon the
rude and clumsy 6ve-slatted hand
brake of his grandfathers time, a
device similar in all respects to that
used for the same purpose at the
present day by the hemp farmers of
Brittany. The French brake is
only slight advance upon that
used in this country, being smaller,
composed of both wood and metal,
and having seven instead of five
Stats.
While a less clumsy affair than
the American device, yet French
workman cannot clean with it
more than half the quantity of hemp
in a day than an average Kentucky
negro operator produces on the
American brake. Thirty to thirty
five Kilograms of fiber per day is the
limit of production for single
brake on a Sarthe farm-equal to IS
orT0 pounds of fibeR 1t is more
carefully prepared, however, being
twisted into small 'streaks" or
loose ropes, number of these max
ing up bundle of several Kilograms
in weight. This is the form in
which French hemp goes to market.

to appoint him Justice of the City Court, to
succeed Robert A. Van Wyck. elected Mayor.
Mr.. Olcott at that time refused to consider the
tender. although he was urged by tho local
Republican leaders to accept 1t. His reason
for refusing was primarily that an acceptance of

preston that ho is chronic office seeker. Ho
is holding his present place by appointment Of
Gov, Black, and was defeated for election with
the rest OF tho Republican ticket Mr.. Olcott is
q lawyer, with n good practice, and he did not
want his fellow citizens TO think that he was
graspingsfor the place of Justice OF the City
Court as q sort OF consolation prize.

fused the appointment several candidates APP
Freeman Baker, Charles A. Hess, Henry O.
uousy urged Mr.. Olcott to accept the place,
despite his first refusal, and he finally pre-
vailed. Mr.. O!cott consented, and he will be
app )inted Justice Of the CITY Court with the
backing of the local Republican organization.
Al MT. Olcotts request, 1t is said, he will not
be appointed immediately, and will not tai o
his pltco on tho bench until on about Jan,
!, ls9s: The appointment Is for one year. Mr..
Olco'l did not wish TO leave tho District At
torncys Office until he had disposed of great
deal of business which he has now in hand.
