Electricity a Century Ago

Electricity 2 Century Ago
 Electricity as we know it is just 100 years old. In 1799 the Italian sci- enlist Volta gave definite form to the method of producing the current, and is is from his name that we have the term voltmeter to describe the instru- ment which measures the force of the current, and volt as the unit of that measurement.

ChiIdren and Ghost g~sries.

Tbe attempt to keep your children in ignorance of stories about ghosts. fairies, giants and gypsies would cer- sainly prove futile. If they are of a nervous and imaginative temperament they will invent new terrors for them. selves instead of the ole traditional ones. A little girl of six, who had been jealously guarded against any acquaintance with nursery bogies and superstitiens, suffered from night ter TOTS of a severe kind, in which she always screamed out that she was be- ing chased by robbers. But while it may be impracticable to protect ehii- dren from a knowledge of the super natural and mysterious, 1t Is inexcus- able to frighten them with hideous stories or to leave them prey to thu terrors of tte solitude and darkness.

yatersZ Parrots.

Patti has two wonderful parrots, one Of whom talks all day long, and imi- tates it's mistress trills and staccati in an amazing fashion, and who (believe me, for I have heard him) can even compose the most elaborate melodies, says a correspondent. The other par, rot-Jumbo by name-is an oddity. Patti bought him for S20e in New York, where he was reputad to be the finest talking parrot alive. Once in her possession he became dumb. Ip vain they tried to coax him to con verse. Months went by until one morning the prima donna woke with a bad sore throat. Send for the doctor" she cried, "for I have to sing tonight!' The doctor duly arrived As he entered the n9om the parrot uttered his first and last words. "Oh! doctor" he ex- claimed. in strong Yankee accent, T m so sick!" And since that day. now several years ago, he has not ut- s&sed word. Baltimore Nswa

his diary, written just after Browning's
funeral:

Browning's writing at large is poetry or
no. Tennyson's answer was, III think

HIS TEETH WE'RE HIS OWN.
And Yet the Facts Were Rather Out
of the Ordinary.

Va
Four or five travelling men around the
hotel stove had been talking about teeth.
when one Of them got up and, saying
Good night" went off to bed.
did you notice what fine teeth that
party had? said a man from St. Louis.
He won't acknowledge they are false, or
rather he insists that they are his own,
and yet he doesn't quite tell the truth.
My brother is q dentist in Kansas City,
and this man lives there, and my brother
does his work for him. Not that he tells
me anything, but merely as an incident.
for everybody who knows the man knows
the circumstances.
His teeth are his own, and at the
same time they are false. You don't I'M
derstand. so I'll explain. He always had
unusually fine teeth, but about FIVE years
ago they showed signs of Riggs disease.
an affection which causes the gums to
recede from the roots, leaving them ex-
posed some distance down from the en-
ameled surface. In aggravated cases or
where the person is very sensitive the dis
ease is very painful, and it is almost i'm
possible to relieve it. To cure it is prac-
ticaliy impossible, for the gums will not
grow back again.
MIS- lluA was VI lhe sSuSllIfS hIuUs
and although physicians and dentists
tried their skill on him they could do
nothing, and he suffered so that at last
he told my brother to extract every
tooth in his mouth and put false ones in
for him. AS nothing else could be done,
my brother followed instructions and
pulled every tooth. They were all in per-
feet condition. and as my brother looked
them over, regretting that his patient
was forced to give them up, n novel idea
occurred to him which he at once told to
the other man, who agreed to 1t willingly.
This was that instead Of making artificial
teeth, as was the usual custom, these
same teeth be used exactly as il they
were artificial.
MY brother, who is a first class dem
fist always, was more than ordinarily
careful on this job, and when he had
mounted the teeth in plate measured to
hairs breadth and'slipped them into his
patients mouth they fitted as il they had
grown there, as it were, and now there
isn't one man in thousand can tell that
they are false, il indeed false they are.
At the same time there isn't any more
Riggs disease to trouble him."-Wash-

THE MALlARME DOLL
A Reminiscence BY Mrs. Louise
Chandler Moulton.

Cnanu1er MOu1tOn.
During my first visit abroad I passed
the winter Of 1S77-S in Paris, and, as I
had letter of introduction to NJ. Steph-
anie Mallarme, we Became close trends.
Besides being "poet of poets" and high
priest of the Symbolists, Mallarme was
professor of English in a French univer-
sity. His English was French English,
to be sure, but it answered the French
purpose.
He always spoke to me of myself in
the third person. | saw n great deal of
both him and his wife. l used to dine
in the Rue dc Rome on his famous Tues
days and see the adoring throng of ne
ophytes who came in after dinner. And
often he and Nine. Mallarme would ram
Bile with ME about the fascinating streets
Of Paris. 1t was during these walks
that first made the acquaintance Of the
genuine French dolls-the wonderful ere
atoms who can bow and courtesy and
say papa" aud mamma" and are so
much better than human that they al
ways do the thing you desire and never
the thing you dislike.
At last the winter came to an end. I
was to cross the channel, and, full of
kindly regrets, NJ. Mallarme came to see
me.
Eve have WISH" he said, madame
and l, to make her gift of farewell,
and We have thought to give her doll;
she has SO liked the dolls Of Paris. Will
she come with US and choose it on the
morrow"
Is everybody a fool sometimes, l won
der? At any rate l was one just then.
Instead Of thinking what treasure for
the future would be doll presented to
me by the leader of the Symbolists fool
ish fear came over me that to confess to
its ownership would be to own myself
childish, to make myself ridiculous, and,
like the idiot just then was. l said: "Oh,
no, please. They would laugh ut me
those who saw it. Please let it be some
thing else"
And the poet went away sadly and re-
turned next day with a japanese cabinet
"A beautiful cabinet-for his "gift Of
goodby." have the cabinet still, butt
want my doll.-"Poet Lore"

The Army and Navy Journal gives a
touching incident which shows how gen
tie u nature may exist beneath the stern
ness which at times reckons not the life
of men while in the pursuit Of victory.
The late Commander James w. Carlin
was in command of the Vandalia at Apia.
Samoa, during the terrible storm of
March 10, 1850.
One evening some years afterward on
retiring to his room while visiting his sis
ter, he found a mouse that had fallen into
a basin Of water and was struggling for
his life.
'There were agony and defiance in that
little fellows eye" said the commander.

on that helpless little creature ! thought

FOLLOWED BY PICTURE EYES.
From the Wall the Gaze Seemed to
Follow With Living Light.

Follow with Living Light.
81 saw clever window Autograph the
other day." said a New Orleans physi-
clan, which represented n soldier with
knansack on his back and 4 gun at his
shoulder pointed straight ahead. Of
course the weapon was so foreshortened
that all you could see of it was the metal
Nc circle of the mGzzle, and it seemed to
be aimed directly at the speaker. No
matter in what direction you moved you
were still apparently covered The
same optical illusion was employed some
time ago by famous detective agency,
which sent out large photographs Of a
highwayman holding Il cooked revolver in
his outstrctched hand. The yawning
muzZle followed one about the room in a
way that was distinctly disquieting, and
these two clever trick advertisements re-
mind me of Il curious case l once encoua-
tered in my practice.
81 was called in some years since to see
a lady who was suffering from an obscure
nervous trouble that for awhile complete
ly bafiled diagnosis. She had lost her
husband few months before, and, know
ing the couple TO have been deeply at
tached, l thought at first that brooding
over Adu
melancholia. 1t was by no means typ
ical case of melancholia, however, and
finally. after much questioning, she con-
fcssed to me that she was suffering from
IN extraordinary hallucination and was
in mortal dread of becoming insane. She
said she had recently had an artist paint
large oil portrait Of her husband, and
whenever she entered the parlor where it
hung the eyes turned in their sockets and
looked at her.
81 went down stairs at once to inspect
the picture, and. just as l anticipated. !
found that the painter had introduced the
trick effect which have described. No
matter where | stood the gaze Of the
painted face seemed to be fastened d.
rectly upon me. Next day called again
and brought with me an artist friend,
whom | left in the parlor while l went
up stairs to see my patient. Presently
suggested that we go down and look at
the painting together. She consented re-
luctantly, but as soon as she saw it she
drew Il deep breath of relief. 1t no lon
ger stared fixedly at her. While he was
left alone the artist had painted in two
little spots Of light that gave the eyes an
entirely different direction.

A university for women is to be es-
tabliShcd in Japan. Sufficient subscrip-
tions and gifts have been received to
warrant letting building contracts. 1t
is expected that the university can be
opened in April, 1901, and there seems
to be no doubt that the number Of stu
dents will be large, although higher
education for women is decided innO-
walton in the mikado's realm. Some of
the brightest educators Japan has pro
duced will be in the faculty. Many of
the rich and powerful men of Japan
have become interested in the move
ment. Marquis Ito has subscribed
largely, and his example has been fol
lowed by other officials. The MitSui
family, said to be the richest in Japan,
has given Il magnificent site in the
northern suburbs of Tokyo. There are
seven acres in the plot, and little
change will have to he made to give
the new university as fine n campus as
any in the empire. The best features
of several foreign colleges for women
will be used in Japans first venture.
The Japanese are making rapid
strides in their march toward western
culture. Another innovation is the for
nation of commercial schools for the
training of female clerks. and one Of
the largest railway companies in Nip
pom has intimatcd that after certain
date women only will be employed in
the clerical department.

The cowpea is moving northward ut
a rapid rate. Five years ago ii was
not known where there are now acres
on acres growing. Those who plant it
on properly prepared soil, harvest it ut
the right time and give it the same
care that clover should have will be
pleased with it provided they plant the
variety adapted to their latitude The
tall growing late varieties are all right
for the south. but in latitude 80 and
northWard am satisfied that the
dwarfer and earlier varieties, like the
black, are most suitable and will give
the best satisfaction Those who grow
cowpeas for hay should keep in mind
that they are at their best for hay
when the first or lower pods are ripen-
ing. After these pods are ripe the low
er leaves begin to come off, and the
stalk becomes hard and tough. Cut as
soon as ready and thereafter handle
like clover, and the hay will be first
class. If one has no barn or shed for
storing it, a rainprOof covering Of some
sort should be put on the stack. |
