WONDERFUL FIGURE MACHINE.
Remarkable Invention of Henry Gold
mnu. IN Exnert Accountant

Remarkable Invent of Henry Cold
man, an Expert Accountant.
One of the most ingenious of recent
inventions Is q device known as the
arithmachine, which has just been pat
ented by Chicago man, named Gold
man. BY its wonderful mechanism it
odds any desired number of columns
simultaneously, subtracts one of more
items, and multiplies and divides &C.
curately, or goes through manipula-
tions of figures involving all these and
registers the final result. 1t can be
readily adjusted to record computa-
tiors in dollars aud cents, feet and
inches, pounds, shilling and pence, with
fractions of any denomination.
The machine is system of locked
endless chains on pentagonial rollers.
1t is small enough to be carried in the
vest pocket, but its delicate mechanism
contains 400 parts put together with
80 screws and rivets. 1t is said to be
made in sizes to carry IL, eight and
five columns of figures. 1t is a light
ming calculator, and it is expected that
it will relieve experts and others of
much ardiuous labor.
Mr.. Goldman is an expert accountant
and has put much time on his inven.

Silver's face was picture; his eyes
started in his head with wrath. He

Who'll give me hand up?" he
roared.
Not man among us moved. Growl-
ing the foulest imprecations, he crawled
along the sand till he got hold of the
porch and could hoist himself again
upon his crutch. Then he spat into
the spring.

stove in your old block-house like rum
puncheon. Laugh, by thunder, laugh!
Before an hours out, ye'll laugh upon

And with a dreadful oath he
stumbled off, plowed down the sand,

four or five failures, by the man with
the flag of truce, and disappeared in
an instant afterward among the trees.

he saluted in the handsomest style.
He was tricked out in his best; an inn
mense blue coat, thick with brass but
tons, hung as low as to his knees, and
fine laced hat was set on the back of
his head.
Here you are, my man," said the
captain, raising his head. "You had
better sit down."
you amt a-going to let me inside,
cap'n. It's main cold morning, to be
sure, sir, to sit outside upon the sand"
'Why, Silver" said the captain, ''if
you had pleased to be an honest man
you might have been sitting in your
galley. It's your own doing. You're
either my ships cook-and then you
were treated handsome-or Cap'n Sill

and then you can go hang!"
"Well, well, cap'n," returned the sea-

the sand, you'll have to give me a hand

place you have of it here. All, there's

Jim. Doctor, here's my service. Why,

PARASITES IN ANIMALS.
Important Treatise Just Issued by
the Agricultural Dep artment.
Intended Primarily for Meat inspect
ors, but VIII be Found of Gem
erul Interest to All SAM
itarians.

| An important treatise, entitled "The
Inspection of Meats for Animal Para
Sites" has just been issued by the ag-
ricultural department. 1t was pre-
pared by DR.. G. Wardell Stiles, zoologist,
under the direction of DR.. D. Z. Salmon,
chief of the bureau of animal industry.
In his letter of transmittal to Secre-
tary Wilson, DR.. Salmon says the re-
port will be found of general interest
to all sanitarians, since it treats Of the
communicability of certain parasites
from animals to man, and suggests the
necessary methods of prevention and
treatment therefor.
DR.. Stiles. after mentioning the fact
that the report is intended for meat in
spectors, says it contains discussions of
the various fukes and tapeworms
which the bureau inspectors are likely
to meet with on the killing floors of the
abbattoirs. The more important para
sites for the American inspectors are:
The common livery fuke and the large
American fluke, which are serious
dangers 10 the live stock; beef measles,
pork measles and hydatids, all of which
bear an important relation to disease in
man. lie calls special attention to the
hydatide disease, which at present is
comparatively rare in this country,
and now, he says, is the time to attack
1t. BY proper precautions at the alb
battoirs and the slaughter houses this
dangerous parasite can be totally Grad
icated from the country.
In the general discussion of measures
for the prevention of parasitic diseases
the doctor recommends the segregation
and the sanitary supervision of slaugh-
ter houses, regular meat inspection,
the exclusion of dogs and rats from
slaughter houses and meat shops and
the killing of all stray and ownerless
dogs. This, he says, will prevent the
spread of number of dangerous para
sites. The raising of hogs and. other
animals at slaughter houses is, he adds,
q custom which cannot be too severely
condemned
AS to the disposition of condemn ed
meats, the writer refers to the practice
in some foreign cities of compelling
their burial or burning when found af.
fected with certain parasitic diseases.
lie sets forth in detail his opposition
TO such extreme regulations, as he saws
that diseased or partially diseased car
cases can be utilized under certain re-
strictions and conditions, so that the
owner will not lose the entire amount
OF his investment. He suggests three
methods which are open, they being de-
pendent on certain conditions: These
methods are. the utilization of the meats
as a fertilizer, rendering the meats
harmless by cold storage, cooking or
preserving, and then placing them on
the market and selling the-nA4".a under

man ever thoroughly gains their respect.
The man whose arteries bound with the
rich, red blood of health carries with hin,
force and an intensity that command re-
spect, even though he be slightly inferior
mentally to the weak, nervous man, While
no medicine in the world will add an inch
to a. mans stature, there Is one famous
medicine that will fill the veins and arte-
ries with the rich, red, bounding blood of
perfect health. 1t is DR.. Pierce,,s,- Golden
medical Dlscoye.yy It is the great blood
n H. e.as and blood purifier. When the blood
is pure and rich and red and plenty, and
filled with the life giving elements that
nourish every tissue of the body, it is inn
possible for a man to suffer from ill-health
of any description. When every little
blood-vessel in the lungs quivers with the
rush of healthy blood, it Is impossible to
have unhealthy lungs. When the walls of
the stomach are nourished with healthy
blood, dyspepsia and indigestion are i'm
possibilities. When the liver is supplied
with healthy blood it is bound to be active,
The skin that is nourished with healthy

BRIDAL COUPLE AS STUDENTS.

Enter Missouri University.

Mr.. and Mrs. Cary Snyder, of Kan
sas City, have just been enrolled as
students of Missouri university at Co.
lumbia. They gave their respective
ages as 16 years, and are undoubted-
ly the youngest married couple ever en-
rolled at this institution.
Mr.. Snyder is the son of wealthy
capitalist of Kansas City. There was
some objection to the marriage offered
by the parents of the couple, but q
brother of the groom, who has been a
student at Missouri university for sew
eral years, was instrumental in bring
ing about the marriage, and made ar
fragments for his entrance there with
his bride several weeks ago.
Letters recently received there from
the parents of the contracting parties
show that they have been forgiven, and
will continue there as students for the
remainder of the year.

Pat, describing his sensation in falling
from a scaffold. "Begorra, I could have
gone on ~travelin' that way forever. 1t
was the stop at the end that inconven-

This seems to be the experience of
many who have been preeipitated from
a height; while falling they were con-
scious of no pain, nor terror, though
perfectly aware of what was transpir-
Ing.
Mr.. Whymper, who has perhaps had
more bad falls than any living man,
says that he once fell and rebounded
from rock to rock in the Alps, and felt
absolutely no pain, though he heard
himself strike. AS in drowning, the
whole previous life seems to flash
through the mind, and this gives way
by delightful stages to dreamless IN

the natives when they go to hunt for
honey. This bird flies in advance, at
tracing the hunters to the place where
the bees nest is. The bird always
gets q part of the honey thus obtained,
and its understanding of the nature of
the implied contract seems to be per-
feet. There are weaver BIRDS that
build extensive platforms, under which
their nests are protected from the
rain; and tailor BIRDS" that enclose
their nests in big leaves, which they
stitch together with plant ibres, as
one would sew pieces of cloth. Some
kinds Of birds build their nests over
water, so that 10 enemy can get at
them. The Baltimore oriole seeks safe
ty by hanging its nest from the end
of a limb. In the southwest certain
humming birds make their nests in
side the thorny cacti, and the common
yucca, or Spanish bayonet, affords SIM
liar protection to a species of shrike.
The shrike's nest is so placed in the
midst of the projecting bayonets that
it cannot be reached
