1t is bewildering to contemplate the
effects of the Introduction of this great in
vention into general use. Some OF the
things already possible and which have
been tried by its merits are as follows:
A lover at one end of the line may con-
yey in something less than one-thirty-
thousandth part of a second the impression
of his sweetest kiss to his waiting love at
the receiver end of the line and may re-
ceive a similar responsive thrill. This re-
markable fact is shown that at distances
as great as 10, 600 miles the impressions
will lose only per cent of their vividness,
result far transcending that of the best
electrical work. Another result is that a
schoolboy may be spanked by his stern par
ent at any distance. In this case the child
is presented to the receiver while the par
ent strikes the transmltter
Again, a surgical operation may be sat
isfactorily performed over any extent of
territory by the surgeon in his office, since
all impressions are conveyed in either di-
rection and are permanent. Courts of
law do not need the actual presence of
witnesses or others. Postal service, except
for merchandise, is no longer necessary.
Experiments are now in progress by
which it is hoped that it will be possible
to feed person by presenting food to his
phvsical counterpart at the other end of
the line.

why We Do Not Live a hundred Years.

Almost all persons die of disappoint.
ment personal, mental or bodily toll or
accident. The passions kill men some
times even suddenly. The common ex-
preston "choked with rage has little
exaggeration in it, for even though not
suddenly fatal strong passions shorten life.
Strong bodied men often die young, and
weak men live longer than the strong, for
the strong use their strength and the
weak have none to use-the latter take
care of themselves, the former do not As
it is with the body, so it is with the mind
and the temper-the strong are apt to
break, or. like the candle, run; the weak
burn out. The inferior animals which live
temperate lives have generally their pre-
scribed term Of years. Thus the horse
lives 25 years, the OK Is or 20, the lion
about 20, the hog 10 or 10, the rabbit s,
the guinea pig or e. The numbers all
bear proportion TO the time the animal
\ takes to grow its full size But man, Of
, all animals, is'one that seldom comes up
to the average. He ought to live 100
years according to the physiological law,
for five times 90 are 100, but instead of
that he scarcely reaches an average Of four
times the growing period. The reason is
obyious-man is not only the most irregu-
liar and most Incorporate, but the most
laborious and Woodworking of all animals.
He is always the most irritable, and there
is reason to believe, though we cannot tell
what an animal secretly feels that, more
than any other animal, man cherishes
wrath to keep it warm, and consumes
himself with the fire of his own reflections,

POROUS PLASTER ROOF.
A Thrifty West virginian Shingled His
House With Them.

That story about the woman who bought
a coffin plate engraved with a name differ
ent from her own, because, as she said
her husband might die and she might
marry a man by that name, and it might
come in useful, is probably apocryphal
But the story Of Pompey Cochran, who
saved his old porous plasters because they
might come in useful some time and
finally t'shingled' his house with them is
true, and it comes from West Virginia.
Pompey was a soldier in the Confederate
army and was wounded at the battle of
Gettysburg. After the war he settled down
on a little farm near Mooresfield, w. Va,
and has lived there ever since. The farm
is small, and Pompey is not prosperous
The only thing that has fiourished with
him of late years has been the pains caused
by his old wounds, and for those nothing
afforded relief except porous plasters.
He had contract with the village
druggist to supply him with porous plas-
tiers by the gross and the tax on his re-
sources became so great on account OF be-
ing addicted to the porous plaster habit
that.h became penurious and demanded
that old tin cans and broken forks and
every other odd and end should be saved.
AHO CcHCO4et1iJ iiO SleL SSeh AiS 49,
the old porous plasters. The plasters mad
stuck to him, and he would stick &c the
plasters. He was as proud OF his CABINET
of old plasters as man given to the brio
a-brac and curio habit is of his COLLECTIONS
and declared that some time they would
come in mighty handy.
/, Now there were three buildings on
Pompey S farm-his house, his barn and a
dilapidated building where he kept his
farming tools and his collection Of old to-
mato cans and his porous plasters. One
night the house burned down, and the
family moved into the Toulouse. 1t was
good enough except that the sun and the
stars shone through the roof Then came
the triumph of the porous plasters.
Pompey got out his collection and shin
gled that whole blessed roof with old plas-
tiers, and as they were thick with burgun-
dy pitch they served well the purpose and
made the roof water tight. Now people
come miles to see the house shingled with
porous plasters, and Pompey says that
they draw better than they did when they
were on his back.-New York Press.

STRENGTH FROM FOOD.
BUT TIE ROOD MUST BE DIGEsTED.


There is no way to get strong without food.
Food is the strength maker.
just enough food, properly digested, makes
the strong and healthy man or woman. Too
much. too little. or even the right quantity, no
tligested, will make anybody weak.
The beginning of all sickness is weakness,
The beginning of all weakness is indigestion
So to keep strong. look after your digestion.
That is the most important point of all.

biity. etc., you have indigestion. You are losing
part of your life. Every hour you are sick
causes loss of strength. ~

Cordial. A few doses will relieve. If you take
it long enough you will regain the strength you
have lost.

and plants by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon.
1t contains very strong digestive tonic proper
ties. 1t creates strength. 1t makes your food
make YOU strong and bright and healthy. II
