How She Made a short circuit.
From the Kansas civ Times.

IOIn the hdnSdS NlLy llTneS.
Larned KAMA little 1S-year-old PAVE
nee county miss, Bertha Leonard, has
lately given the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph Companies an unlimited amounu
of trouble in a most unique and peculiar
way. Bertha's daily duty was to herd and
watch large drove of her fathers cattle,
whose range was near the Western Union
and Postal telegraph lines.
For some time past at irregular inter-
walls during almost every day these lines
absolutely failed to work, and the trouble
seemed to be somewhere in the vicinity
of where this girl ranged her fathers cat
tie, but, try as the line repairers would.
it could not be definitely located Finally
il was discovered that Bertha, in order
TO get a better view of the herd, had
driven railroad spikes into a telegraph
pole so that she could climb 1t, and that
she would, whenever she got weary watch
ing the cattle from the ground, climb
the pole, pun up a board by means of
cord, place it across the wires, seat her
self on the board and spend an hour or
two watching the herd from her uniquely
improvised elevated station. Whenever
the board happened to be damp or wet,
and the frequent rains this year have kept
the board wet most all the time it de-
stroyed tine electric current and practical
ly cut off all Geographic communication
between Denver and Kansas City.
When discovered and informed of the
damage she was doing to the business OF
the telegraph lines, Bertha was greatly
surprised, and was apparently utterly ig-
norant of the fact that her seat on the
wires interfered in the slightest degrees
Wtth the working of the lines.

Paris Not Perturbed over the News
From Fashoda.
Paris, Sept. 16.-Oficial circles and the
public generally are not perturbed over the
news from Fashoda. On the contrary they
appear to be Indifferent. Much greater ex-
element prevails respecting the Dreyfus
affair.
1t Is understood that M. Maurejo min
lister of commerce; NJ Tillye, minister of
public works. and M. bigger, minister of
agriculture, accompanying Gen. Zurlin-
den, minister of war, in retiring.
A curious story is published to the effect
that a passenger steamer which, while
passing Devils Island, approaching closely
in order to enable the passengers to see
the habitation of Capt. Dreyfus, was dis
agreeably surprised by four cannon shots
fired from the island. II was learned after
wards that all vessels venturing too near
were similarly greeted.

ODD SEWING MACHINES.
Some of the More Curious of the Uses
to Which They Are Put.

Some of the More Curious of the Uses
to Which They Are Put.
From the Boston Journal of Commerce.
The buttonhole sewing machine is famil-
lar, but it is probable that the button-sew-
Ing machine is less so. Such machines,
however, have been used for years The
same button-sewing machine might serve
to sew on buttons on a dozen styles and
sizes, but they would all be buttons with
the eyes at the same distances apart.
There are many buttons of various sizes
alike. Button-sewing machines are mosr
commonly used to sew on buttons that are
placed close down to the fabric, as on
underwear, and many other things. They
are not used to sew on buttons as they
are often sewed on clothing, where after
sewing on the button, the thread Is drawn
with few tight turns around between
the button and the cloth, thus raising
the button upon a little column
Ordinarily in the use of sewing ma
chimes the material Is fed to the machine.
In sewing carpets the machine travels
along the carpet. The Scarpet with the
edges to be sewed together is stretched
and held between the supports of frame.
The carpet-sewing machine is placed on
the double edge of the carpet, along when
it travels as IL is operated, sewing as &c
goes There are carpet-sewing machines
that are operated by hand. and also ma
chimes that are operated by power
Sewing machines have long been USED
for a great variety Of leather work. Some
of the machines used for such purposes
as for example, sewing machines used FOR
stitching leather or rubber betting, are
powerful machines that stitch through
such materials half or three-quarters OF
an inch or more in thickness. Besides ma
chimes used for stitching leather there are
also made sewing machines that are use9
for stitching paper in blank books ana
others.

SECONDHAND BICYCLES.
What BECOMES of Discarded Wheels.
How They Are Patched Up.


from the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.
1t Is not known that any person has
discovered a profitable means for utiliz-
ing old or discarded bicycles or any of
their component parts. There might be a
profitable field for some man of genius
who can devise useful employment for
the wheels and frames of discarded ma
chimes On the other hand, if such a
genius were to come forth where would
he find has field, or where would he col
iect his abandoned machines? Bicycle
manufacturers say that the old wheels
drlft away, some to the Italian trade.
others to the country districts, and the
great majority of them to the Southern
states and to the countries of South
America or Mexico
That Is why we see so little of them

try districts said a representative of a
manufacturing firm in this city a day or
TWO ago. Il have often thought of 1t
myself, and have given the matter some
attention, for there are thousands of
bicycle riders in this city who purchase
a new wheel at the beginning of every
season, and return their old ones for part
payment. They would no more think of

NERVOUS WOMEN.
The Opinion of IA Famous Medical
Writer as 40 the Cause.


In a. recent lecture on diseases of
women, Dr. Hartman said: "A nervous
woman is always a sick woman. Some
drain on her system is the cause Of 1t. If
the mucous membranes are healthy, the
woman is usually healthy Each one of
the numerous and delicate organs Of the
human body is lined with mucous mem
brane. The Slightest catarrhal congestion
OF any of these membranes give rise to
weakening discharges. which leads to
nervousness, and finally prostration. Pc
ru-na Is the only remedy that 1 have ever
found to be of lasting use in these cases.
Thousands of women are languishing with
the very common ailment known as female
weakness, which In almost every in
stance is caused by catarrh of the pelvic
organs. Pe-ru-na will cure these cases
promptly and permanently" Mrs. Lucy
