ELEOTRIO TRICKS.
New Ways to Star. Your Horse and
Boil Your Dinner.

Electricity is the latest fad invoked
by drivers Of slow or balky horses
BY simple device, the invention Of
7, W. McCune, of Akron, O., the
most persistently obstinate horse can
be urged onward,
This new appliance, or "humanc
persuader," as the inventor calls it,
consists of a small storage battery.
which is carried either under the body
Of the carriage or wagon or beneath
the seat, from which there runs an
exceedingly fine copper wire,
thoroughly insulated, connecting
with button placed in the side Of the
drivers seat
From this button, which is almost
exactly like the ordinary electric call
button so common in hotels, the wire
is continued out over the horses back.
Fixed to the saddle or collar of the
harness is an insulating knob, around
which the wire is wound, To the end
of this wire is affixed a sponge, which,
when once dampened with salt water,
= kept moist by the natural heat of
tbe ANNA, -. s.,,,.
When the horse balks or is mani
festly lazy, instead of using whip or
other cruel means Of urging him on,
the driver simply presses the button,
and a LIGHT current is sent from the
battery through the wire. giving the
horse n sIiobt shock
The ordinary horse is moro Or less
used to a whip A sharp blow, indeed,
rouses him. and while the sting lasts
accelerates his Gait. but repeated ap-
plications arenecessary TO keep upt the
pace. An electric shock. however, is
thehorse cannot un-
derstand, and the entirely unex-
pected sensation never fails to startle
the most law beast into a smart trot |
Atfrst there was some opposition to |
his use of electricity as a persuasive |
power, but when it was demonstrated |
1y pratical tests that it accom-
1lished the purpose and at the same
line obviated the brutality of the
yhip. its use was generally commend
d. Now it is no Unusual thing to see
PERSONS who live in The vicini+V If tho
INVENTORS house using electricity in
his novel fashion. The driver presses
he button and the horse does the
est.

Observations Of a Bachelor.

If men couldn't talk, girls would
kiss them as much as they do dogs.
A girl always remembers thing
by what dress she wore when it hap
pened
Some women seem to think a man
ought to purr when he's comfortable,
like a cat.
It's funny when you whisper in a
girls ear she always grabs a-hold OF
your hand.
Any respectable mouse would be
Just as much frightened and mortified
as the girl, anyway.
A woman always seems to think a
man can make over a stovepipe hat as
easily as she can fix up her last year :
bonnet.
When you see a girl that doesn't act
ashamed to let you see she wears Dlg
shoes, you may be sure she has pretty
feet.
It's a wise woman that knows
enough not say anything the re1t
morning when her husband has a wet
towel around his head.
There never was a married woman
who sympathized with an old bachelor,
and there never was married man who
didn't.

Sources Of Gutta -Percha.

Gutta.percha, like India rubber, ia
obtained from the Juices Of certain
trees and climbers The best IL pro-
duced by tree, the lsonandra gutta,
Of the order Sapotaceg, which former
ly abounded at Singapore and IN all
Malaysia, but which now tends to dis
appear under the ravages committed
by gatherers. Gutta, in Malay, sig
ni6es gum or lime; percha signifies
scrap. Incisions are made in the bark,
as on rubber trees, and the liquor
flows Of perfect whiteness, darkenlng
at contact of air Coagulation takes
place spontaneously in short time.
Like rubber, the liquid forms a film
on top. This cream is moved, knead-
ed into large lump aud pumped into
boiling water Under the action Of
high temperature 1t soitens ana iorms
the cake usually found in commerce.
Other trees in Malaysia and Farther
India, in Cambodia and Cochin China,
produce good gutta. In Hindustan
different grades are mixed by the ma
tiyes. Chinese merchants, in their
depots, mix and manipulate to give a
good superficial appearance to the pro-
duct, as the price is constantly adj
yancing. As the gatherers also do
not scruPle to add vegetable debris,
earth, or sand, it has become difficult
to secure a pure article. An inferior
quality is obtained from trees and
climbers in Africa and Madagascar,
and, with the development Of those
countries, more may be expected.

Locomotive Tests.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has been making series of
tests of the pulling capacity of the
different class engines before putting
into effect what is known as the unit
system of loading on May /. BY this
system an engine will be loaded ac-
cording to weight of the cars. a num-
Der of these tests have been made from
Brunswick both east and west, and
some of them have developed remark
able pulling capacities for the engines.
The veteran engineer, Knuckles, with
an engine known as a big 500 was
given a train Of sixty large Baltimore
and Ohio coal scows, which weigh be-
tween $4,000 and 50, 900 pounds each,.
and made a successful trip with them
to Cumberland, pulling the heavy
grade between Brunswick and Mar
tinsburg and between Martinsburg and
Cumberland. This trip was made
under the personal supervision of Gen
eral Superintendent Thomas Fitzger-
aid, Assistant General Superintend-
ent w Gibson, Superintendent OF Mo-
tive Power l. y. Kalbaugh, who were
accompanied by Superintendent Hus-
ted, of the Middle Division, and j. T.
Martin, general yardmaster at Bruins
wick. Returning from Cumberland,
Mr.. Kuuckles bad another test train
which he handled successfully, pull
ing 81 large loaded scows up what is
known as the nine-mile grade between
Martiusburgand Brunswick, and prob
ably hauling more pounds than an en-
CINE of this class has ever handled on
the same grade before The nggre-
gate weight Of the tram was 300 tons
Two test trains subsequently left
Brunswick east bound One Of the
engines was built by the Baldwin Lo-
comotive Company and the other by
the Richmond Locomotive Works.
Each engine had train of 81 large
scows, with an average weight of
10000 pounds each, to pull the heavy
grade going up to Mt. Airy, and sue
cessmlly accomplished the feat.
These trains were accompanied by
General Superintendent Fitzgerald.
Assistant General Superintendent Glib
son, Superintendent Of Motive Power
KaIbaugh, Division Master Mechanic
White, Superintendent of Transporta-
ton Maroney, Division SuperIntend-
ent Spurrier and Train Master Norris.
Every arrangement was made TO ar
rive at Just what train each engine
can haul.

Just a Little of the Gravy.

An ex-Confederate soldier Of South
Carolina tells this story to a writer in
the Detroit Journal Il had friend
who was a chaplain in our army-a
good man, as such men should be.
Several of his own church members
were in the same regiment. He kept
a sharp eye on us and tried to train
us in the way We should 60. And
when we were rather short for rations
some fthe boys brought in fine young
porker. Now, boys, that's wrong,
said he. 1t is simply stealing. You
ought not to do it.
Well, our cOnsciences don't trou-
bic US and yours won't trouble you
when we get this meat cooked. You
will want some Of it, too
"'No, l won't eat it. I'd as soon
eat stolen meat.
"But We divided it up among the
boys and proceeded to cook a ham in
the best possible style The smell OF
it fairly made our teeth water and
when it was cooked we were more than
ready for it.
"'There's fine piece. Cut that of
for the chaplain, said one.
/" No, thank you,' said he, 4 said |
wouldn't eat it and l won't, but
passing up his plate-I'll take little
of the gravy.

Why the Sea IS Salt.

The water ofthe sea isa perfect brine,
and no decomposition can take place
in any organic substance immersed in
it. This fact, which is not generally
known, is a marvellous illustration Of
the wise provision of nature for rem
dering the earth habitable. So vast is
the amount Of animal life in the ocean,
if the sea water did not perfectly pre-
serve all organic matter it contained,
in the course of a century or two the
oceans would become masses Of Putnd
substances, the nauseous exhalations
from which would make life impossible,
under present conditions, on any part
of the globe.

Worth While.

IT'S easy enough to be pleasant.
When life flows along like a song
But the man worth while is the one who
will smile
When everything goes dead wrong;
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years,
And the sT 'e that is worth the praise
of earth
Is the smile that comes through tears.
1t is easy enough to be prudent.
When nothing tempts you to stray;
When without or within no voice of SIN;
Is alluring your soul away;
But it's only a negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire,
And the life that is worth the honor Of
earth
Is the one that reSsts desire.
By the cynic, the sad the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife,
The world S highway is numbered today :;
They make up the item OF life
But the virtue that cOnquers passion.
And the sorrow that hides in smile
1t is these that are worth the homage of
earth,
For we find them but once in a while

Beware
OF The Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years l have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck. and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, d. c.,
Springfield, H., and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
moval of the gland. AT this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, l be-
gan its use. Before 1 had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago,
1 would have escaped years of misery
and saved over SI5o."
This experience is like that Of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitlcss or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perna-
nently.

Words Of Wisdom.

Faith and hope cure more diseases
than medicine.
You should stick to your friend but
don't stick them.
Women kiss and remember. Men
strike and forget
Well-meaning people get into ter
rible lot of trouble.
The flower that lacks perfume can
never entirely please.
One symptom of the disease of Elm is
hatred of its remedy.
To be agreeable in society it is nee
essary not to see and not to remember
many things
Nothing from a mans hand, nor law,
nor constitution, can be final. Truth
is final.
Poverty is the only burden which
grows heavier by being shared with
those We love
Lots of people tell you they are hus-
tiers, when they know very well they
are only lores.
You have a place in society pecul-
iarIy your own endeayor to find out
where it is and keep it.
4 man that studieth revenge keep
eth bis own wounds green which 9TH
erwise, you'd heal and do well.
1t is better to be nobody which
amounts to something than to be a
somebody and accomplish nothing.
