NEVER REAPED A REWARD.
and Neglected Amidst the Plenty of Paris.

On January 24, 1860. M. Lenoir. a chemist, was granted patent for mo tor driven by an explosive mixture oi air and gas. He even used electric ig milton, obtained from a battery and Ruhmkoef coil, and actuating a spark ing plug very similar to the sty.e in vogue today. He employed coal gas at first. but in his specification said that he could use other gases or even produce a gas at the requisite mo ment from hydro-carbon liquids. there by foreshadowipg the employment of petroleum. The system of valves. by means of which the suction of the piston drew in the charge of gas for the next explosion. was also designed by Lenoir, and still remains the govern ing principle in explosion engines. Sc that in 40 years that have elapsed since Lenoir's motor there have been few radical changes.
 In 1862 he produced a car driven by one of his motors. and this accom- pished some short trips in the streets of Paris, after which, for some reason 1t made no further progress. H. seemed to have no luck. his invention was premature and beyond the grati- tication of his hobby he had no appre citation
 Fifteen years went by before an other man attempted motor car again, and it was not till 1887 that Daimler produced his first car. which, to do him justice. was the earliest of the really practicable vehicles.
 Poor Lenoir lived to see the motor in dustry attain enormous dimensions, to see honors and wealth heaped on other men, and died in humble circumstances without honor or reward.

WEEDS MARVELLOUS CURES.
Nountainser Finds Simple R0madS for Bite of Mad Dogs
 and Snakes.

A mountaineer named Vincent, who lives on Lookout mountain near Dur ham, Ga, strode into that village to find itexcited over the appearance of mad dog. He drove the villagers indoors, and, unarmed, awaited the coming of the dog, which, after desperate strug- gle, he: strangled Applying to the wounds poisonous weed known to the mountaineerR as gall of the earth, he was healed. To further demonstrate the curative properties of the weed, he permitted a copperhead and rattle snake to bite him and was successfully healed. He went to picnic at Lulu lake on Lookout mountain with thlee rat tlesnakes. In the presence of the crowd he worried the snakes, making them bite him until they " ou,d do so no more. He finally put his tongue in the snakes mouth. He begged those present to let the snakes bite them, guaranteeing cure. A newspaper correspondent paid Vincent 50 cents to show him the weed, but he declined to try it's merits. A young man present, however, did so, and after being struck twice by the snake, applied the weed to the bite and ate portion of it, no bad effect re- sulting. The ignorant mountaineers are excited over Vincent's acts, and think him possessed of supernatural powers. On Saturday he cured young man who was attacked by a copper head, although ii was two hours be- fore he reached him. A pointer dog be- longing to citizen of Chattanooga, while hunting, was bitten by copper head. All applicaticn of the weed and a small portion mixed in milk cured the dog,

Fifty convulsions a day is the record of Eugene F. Burns, of Red Bank, N. J., whose system has been racked by them to a greater or less extent for over a week. Doctors say the case is remark able. One day last week Burns was digging well while the weather was intensely warm. Later in the day he went home and took to his bed
 Two days later he had 6 series of severe conyulsions, They followed each other in rapid succession, only few minutes elapsing between them At first Burns had as many as 50 a day The number had gradually grown less, until now he has only five or six. His condition is still critical.
 Several local doctors have consulted ,on the case and attributed the convul- sions to disturbance of the nerve cen ters, caused by sudden changes from heat to cold, due tc going down into the cold we'll.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
on Small Msans Is an Art That Should Be
 studied.

It is curious to note the different re- suits achieved by different women in the disbursement of their housekeep- ing and dress allowances says the De troit Free Press. Some women with thousand a year "housekeepiLg money" are constantly struggling with debt. Their weekly bills are never paid up regularly, but always overlap, and they are often driven, if they have accommo- dating friends, to adopt Artemus Wards advice: Always live within your income, even if you have to bor- row money to 60 SO"
 Others, on half the amount, are never in debt, and yet their tables are better supplied, their meals better cooked, their domestic wheels move more easily, and the word "sordid" is the last one would apply to any of their belongings.
 Where is the explanation to be found of the undoubted fact that some wom- en will produce more with the expendi- ture of sixpence than others with shil- ling?
 Is it not that the former take more pains with their househol6 manage ment2, They do not fall into the Gelu- sion that housekeeping comes by na- tyre to every woman. They recognize

MARSHMALLOWS IN BLOOM.
Their Delicate Color Relieves the Dark Green of New Jersey
 swnmps.

The Jersey meadows rarely come in for anything but abuse. Suburban travellers who are carried over that marshy stretch of land twice a day grow to look upon it as one of the hardships of their days journey. At times they provoke condemnation no less pronounced than the kind usually directed toward Hunters Point. It was this same stretch of reeds and grass that gave rise to conundrum that was very popular for awhile in front parlors along the une or a cer- tain New Jersey railroad. The ques tioner used to ask why the president of the road was a generous man to his patrons. The answer used to be that he first gave every passenger & scent crossing the meadows and then passed all the oranges.
 But there is something beyond the scent of the meadows to attract at tention to them now, says a special to the Chicago Inter Ocean, They are abloom from one end to another with the marshmallow flower, and it's dain- ty color adds an exquisite tone to the rank green that is usually the only color visible to the eye. Every Au gust the flowers begin to bloom. This year their pink and white blossoms are scattered over the whole range of the meadows. Usually they last throughout the entire month.

WHEN PAPER WAS INVENTED.
Chinamen Made It from Bamboo in the First Century of the
 Christian Era.

Paper was first manufactured by the Chinese in the first century A. D. Up to that time they wrote on thin slips of bamboo, the instrument employed being not a pen or brush, but a pointed tool. The books of those ancient days were made by cutting the bamboo, after removing the bark, into thin sheets, which were strung together so as to com, pose fairly compact, though clum- sy, volume.
 Later on it was found better to pound bamboo to a paste in a nor tar together with water and the re- sulting substance was spread upon flat surface to dry This, in fact, was the first paper, in the modern ac- equation of the term, though the Egyptian papyrus, made from kind of reed that grew along the banks of the Nile, antedated it by several centuries After awhile the manu- facture of this paper was improved by adding to it silk and other ma, terials. The Tartars borrowed the art, substituting cotton, which was plentiful in their country, and from them the Arabs acquired it, using linen instead of cotton. It was in this way that paper-making was first brought into Europe, being intro duced by the Arabs

PEPPERMINT OIL CROP.
Raet Sugar h Now Being Largely Raised in New York InstoaA
 or the Mint.

The beet sugar industry is attaining wonderful proportions in various sec tions of this country. A few years ago in some sections of central New York the peppermint oil crop was the lead Ing feature, and brought more money into the hands of the farmers than did the apple crop. But now the P pper- mint crop is mostly thing of the past in that section and the mint stills are kept in operation by the crop of few acres near them, says the Philadelphia Record.
 The beet sugar crop has driven the mint crop westward, for the farmers find it more profitable to raise sugar beets. Ten years ago every community in central New York had a resident who was getting rich by stilling mint but these same mills are now falling into disuse. Lyons, \. Y, was the cen ter of the mint market of the world, but that honor is now among the claims of distant western cities. The fame of the Wayne county oils was known near and far and took the worlds prize at the Columbian exposition in 1893. The Pan-American exposition will bring new locality into, similar prominence in all probability. Thus, the pepper. mint crop, like the march of civiliza, tion, has gone westward.

The width of flash of lightning has been measured by Mir. George Rum. ker, of the Hamburg observatory. A photograph was secured last August as lightning struck @ tower third of a mile away, and from the distance of the tower and the focal distance of the camera objective was possible to ca. cu.ate the breadth of the Gischarge shown in the picture. It has been Ce. termined that the flash was oue-ffth of an inch wide.

Where have all the knickerbock- CTS gone?" asked a wheelman the other day, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer. "We used to meet them in the office buildings, on the streets and avenues, and, in fact, it seemed at one time as if hey were going to push the regulation tr-asers off the face of the earth ''lu is a case of learning sense replied his com paaion.

WOMAN'S MODEL VILLAGE.
4 Small Maryland Town Which Work of the Fair Ser Has Rendered
 Beautiful.

Camden, a village in Maryland, takes on pardonable pride in the activities of its women's organizations. The pop ulation is about 2,50O Public improve ments, philanthropies of various kinds and patriotic movements have been car ried on for number of years, until to- day the village is a model in beauty, public spirit and freedom from veXed questions, says an eastern exchange. The united organizations about three years ago undertook to improve For est park, the wooded retreat to which all flock in the warm weather. A broad avenue was laid out and i'm proved, running the entire length. A rustic pavilion, adapted admirably to its surroundings, was built and fiber ally equipped with benches and tables. Next an artistic band stand was built where now the village band may b. seen and better heard than formerly h 1890 village library was organized by Mrs. W. J. Frisbie. Forty ladies pledged themselves to pay Sl year as a membership fee, and the first year ly fees then subscribed started the movement. To-day there is a circulat- ing library of over 2,1C0 volumes in the village, managed and maintained by the women, and the sum of Sl, zoo is in bank as nucleus for building fund In addition to this the club women gave a further stimulus to the intellectual life of the village by providing each winter course of lectures on topics of interest, delivered by well-known au. thorities.

He began his military career in Tur- kestan when a youth, and has served with distinction in all Russia's wars for many years.

 Meantime the woman, Flanders or Gatti, whichever her name may be, had been telling tale of peril to MT. Hull. When the shot was heard she two later Gatti entered the house and as he did so replaced the revolver in his pocket. He asked MT. Hull where the woman had gone but received an unsa atisfactory reply.
 He succeeded in finding the woman and caused her to accompany him against her urgent although not vio- lent protest. They went up the alley between Third and Fourth streets but he must have soon wearied of using force for she was seen unaccompanied not long afterward.
 When it was learned afterward how narrowly the mistaken shot had miss ed it's aim, complaint accusing Gatti of assault with intent to commit mur- der was lodged by MT. Hull with Jus tice Guidinger. Gatti eluded custody for the night, fearing, it is said, that under temporary inability to furnish bond he would have to spend the night in Santa Monica's barn-like City Jail. Gatti gave himself up to City Marshal Barretto this morning. Bail was fix ed at $1, ,OOO and the preliminary ex- animation was set for next Friday morning. Gatti, who is said to be d man of wealth, has influential friends in Los Angeles. He left Santa Mon- ica in custody of an officer, but ar engagements were made to furnish the required bond as soon as he arrived in Los Angeles. He was released on bail after he reached that city.
