LEFT-HANDED HANDSHAKE.
Col. Jack Chinn Tells Why Nentuck-
ians Prefer That style at
Present.

State Senator Frank w. Maynard, of
New Hampshire, has returned to his
home in Nashua from Louisville, Ky,
where he attended the national con-
yention of the Merchant Tailors' ma
ional exchange, says the Boston
Globe. He arrived in Kentucky just
after the shooting of Mr.. Goebel and
witnessed the excitement which fol-
owed. During his stay in Louisville
ne was introduced to Col. Jack Chinn,
and he tells an amusing story of their
meeting.
"We were introduced" said Senator
Maynard, 'by mutual friends, and /
noticed that Col. Chinn extended his
eft hand to me. AT the time thought
t bit queer, but after / saw him do
The same thing with several other
men | came to the conclusion that he

Heated my surprise at the manner of

4 few minutes later and remarked:

INSENSIBLE TO PAIN.
Animals DO Not Feel the whip as
keenIy as Do Human
Beings.

If it is true that animals feel pain
less than men, then it is also true
that tortures and cruelties some
times inflicted upon animals if adj
ministered to men would be unbear-
able to the point almost of insanity
or death. The most sensitive part
Of the human frame is the skin, and
while this is true relatively of ami
mails it is certain also that the skin
Of dogs or other animals is not so
sensitive as that of man. Besides, the
animals skin is protected by coat
# insensitive hair. In the case of
surgical operations on men reaching,
ior instance, to the abdominal cavity,
t is the incision into the cavity that
requires the taking of anaesthetics,
and not so much the work to be done
after the cavity is opened. After seri-
rus operations upon animals which
iave been placed under chloroform
frequently happens that few min
ties after recovering consciousness
he animals frisk about the room
'ometimes jumping from the floor to
,he operating table.

THE ELECTRIC, FAN.
1t Has n Promising Outlook for the
Future in the Lands Beyond
the Seas.

The fan-motor is peculiarly Amer
lean invention. 1t made its appear
ance upon the scene about IA years
ago and met with immediate and
hearty approval. During the few
years of its history it has been rapid
ly improved and has now reached a
state of high perfection, says the
Electrical Review.
Certainly the man who first
thought of making a little breeze
machine was public benefactor.
The amount of discomfort that has
been relieved by the familiar whiz-
zing fan is almost incalculable and
there can be no doubt that it has
really prolonged and doubtless saved
many lives. 1t is strange that in
countries where the climate is more
oppressive in the summer months
than it is even in the United States
there should not be n more wide
spread use of these fans. The new
eastern possessions of the United
States and the vast area beyond
should open a large market to Amer
lean manufacturers of such goods
The punkah has been in use in India
from time immemorial, but its days
are certainly numbered If the silent
efficient American electric fan ever
becomes fashionable in that country

BELLS WITH A HISTORY.
,nreer of the Famous Peal of st.
Michaers I'm Charleston,
south Carolina.

A peal of bells that has had MS ad-
senturous career as any that hang in
old world towers is the famous peal of
st. Michael's, Charleston. S. c. Five
shines have these bells crossed the sea,
once as heap of ruined metal, and two
armies have they had to encounter or
escape; yet to-day the nine bells are of
unusual purity and sweetness of tone.
says Youths Companion.
Cast in England before the revolu-
ton, and brought over TO st. Michael's,
they met with their first danger in That
war. That they might not be injured,
they were sent back to England. After
the war was over the people of Charles
ton wanted them, and it became the
iuty of the first American minister TO
England to negotiate for them. He
was successful, and amidst triumphant
ovations they were escorted to the
church.
All went well with them till the civil
war. Then the steeple of st. Michael's
was made the target for the cannon of
the besiegers. 1t was necessary to re-
move the bells to safer place. and
they were sent to Columbia. When
Sherman's army took Columbia, the
sheds in the yard of the state house,
IN which the bells had been placed,
we're broken into and the bells smashed
into fragments, while the sheds were
set on fire.
They were not yet done for. however.
At the close of the war the pieces were
carefully gathered toge Jher and
shipped to Liverpool, together with ex-
tracts from the records of st. Michaels,
showing where the bells were cast and
the proportion of metals forming the
component parts.
Upon inquiry it was found that the
firm of bell founders that had cast the
bells was still in existence. unchan yed
in name, and consisting of the descend
ants of the original firm. The records
of the firm contained an account of
the casting of the bells, and the propor-
dons corresponded with those in the
st. Michaers records.
Under such favorable circumstances
it was not hard to recast the bells. Then
for the fifth time they crossed the At
iantic and arrived safely in Charleston.
