EXERCISE and Growth.

An eminent authority declares that iu-
dicious exercise has great influence on the
growth of "a human being. The stature
Is increased by hanging by the arms, and
some experiments have been made with a
view To ascertain whether hanging by the
heri has any effect on the length of the
spinal column. IL is claimed that bed
constructed on an angle Of 45 degrees may
be useful accessory to growth. The body
rests on the bed and Is kept in place by a
harness that passes under the arms and
around the shoulders. The head is very
slightly drawn upward by "A set of straps,
these latter being so arranged that only u
very slight pull comes on the spinal cord
above the shoulders. The support is little
more than the weight of the head itself,
the idea being to remove all downward
pressure from the spinal column. One
student of this process has in addition at
tached light weights to his feet. He
watches his conditions very carefully and
ceases his experiments II there is even the
slightest sensation of discomfort or irrita-
ton along the spinal column. Just what
effect this will have on the growth it is as
yet too early TO determine, but IL is believed
that removing all weight from the spine
and keeping the body fully extended dur
ing tho hours of sleep will, If managed
with prudence, increase the stature to a
considerable degree. New York Ledger.

We have it from pretty good authority
that George C. Bentley OF Chassell, will
manage the old Moralee saw mill, which
has lately been purchased by the Arm
strong Thielman Lumber company. The
old plant will be carefully gone oyer and
many improvements made and 1t is prob
ablethat an entirely new boiler will beput
10. With the opening of spring the lake
front in that quarter will experience it's
old time activity. The mill when work
ing at its full capacity will give employ
ment to about fifty men. Both members
OF the firm are good business men and
Hancock is to be congratulated in hav-
ing such men at the head OF this new
enterprise.

what Cathode Means.

Let us see what we mean by the term
cathode. II we should break the tiny fila
ment of an Edison incandescent lamp at
the middle of the glowing loop, the light
would go out. If, now, wo connect the
two ends of the broken fllament to the
poles of battery Of great many thou
sand voltaic cells, such as are commonly
used to ring house bells, we should be able
to light the lamp again, not by incandes-
cence, but by feeble glow which pervades
the whole bulb. The ends Of the broken
filament would glow, and the glow at one
end of the fllament would be different In
appearance from that of the other. The
broken fllament, by means of which the
electrical energy enters the bulb, Is called
the anode, and the filament by means OF
which, In ordinary language, 1t leaves the
bulb is called the cathode. Now the great
popularity of the cathode rays Is this
they seem to be independent Of the position
Of the anode, and they stream out from
the cathode like the beam of q searchlight

Caught Them.
Cap Nelson is a moonshiner whose stills
in Clinton county, KY, have never been
found. The revenue officers have endeav-
ored for years to catch him, but the near.
est they ever succeeded was about two
years ago, the details of which raid were
told to Star reporter by Thad Arnold,
one of the deputies who accompanied the
posse.

stopped the first night in Monticello, start
ing early the next morning for Boston
mountain, near which Nelson was known
to live. AS we rode up the narrow bride
path that is the easiest way to the top OF
the mountain "a mountaineer met us.

said cautiously:

"After little sparring "a deal was made
with the fellow, who took us to house
for supper where he said Nelson had an
engagement to come that night. We
watched the informer carefully and kept
our weapons ready for USE.
"'Yo' uns all go up yander in the loft an

1--WE were little suspicious, but kept
close watch upon the man. He was not
out of our sight except when he went to
feed the horses.

were sounds of horses hoofs, and our spy
whispered up the loft: He'll ride up, an

"we started after the horses, and the
pistol shots were heard as we reached the
log stable The horses were gone, the
lights were out in the cabin, and when we
got back it was deserted. We finally got
into the house, and loosely scrawled on a
piece of brown paper was written: L told

1T was the last trace we could find OF
him, and we walked 80 miles to town, ex-

CRAMPS.
Some of the Curious Affections OF Men
Who Work Too Hard.

Some of the Curious Affections OF Men
Who Work Too Hard.
One of the curious consequences of the
modern division of labor is tho cramp that
attacks those who constantly use their
hands in one particular manner.
Writing oramp was the first TO appear,
being quite unknown until the introduce
ton of steel pens 1t affects men far oftener
than the fair sex, and, singularly, those
who suffer are not literary mon, but copy
lists. 1t Is almost incurable, ana even
when the left hand Is used the cramp very
soon crosses over to it.
Musicians of every kind are attacked.
Among pianists it is chiefly ladies ambi-
tious to become professionals who are the
victims. Violent pain, weakness and ia
tigue of the arm make playing an impos-
sibility. Violinists are affected both in
the fingers of the left hand and the hand
that holds the bow. Clarinet players get
cramps of the tongue, and flute players
get cramp in the larynx.
Telegraphers suffer very often, and they
call it "loss of the grip" Tailors get
cramps in legs as well as hands. Smiths
and carpenters get what is called cham
mer cramp," resulting from the enormous
number of blows struck. IL is estimated
that forger of knives and scissors strikes
$4,000 blows every day.
Drivers get cramps in the hand espe-
cially in the case of those who break in
hard mouthod horses. Cigar makers,
matchmaker, photographers, auctioneers,
sawyers, billiard players, dentists, turn
ers, stampers, weavers, painters, money
counters and ballet dancers all suffer from
their own peculiar cramps and often so Sc

Wire Finer Than your hair.

The very finest wire made in this coun.
try comes from "A wire mandatory at
Taunton, Mass. This metal cobweb o.
minute diameter Is exactly one-fve-hun-

finer than human hair. Ordinary wire,
even though of small diameter, is drawn
through holes IN steel plates, but on
account of the wear such plates cannot
be used In making the hair wire. The
