Tie Scar on His
Conscience ~ ~
BY ELIZABETH CHERRY WALTZ.


MO ONE would have thought, to
IN ee the president of the Otranto
bank on late summer morning, that
his conscience had ever troubled him
in any way. He was as fair and splen-
did at 40 as any high-bred woman. He
was noted for prompt decisions and an
amazing foresight. Commercially and
socially, he was a power. For three
years he had been a widower and next
season would be recloned upon by the
mothers of debutantes as worthy of
the profoundest consideration.
People said that his domestic his

Nutrition in Mushrooms.

Recent Investigations made by the
department of agriculture show that
mushrooms are about equal to pota-
toes in the element of nutrition that
goes to make flesh and blood, but
that, on the other hand, they do not
hold much of the fuel stuff required
to keep the body machine running.

Make SIS Miles nm Hour.

The trials of the experiment cleo
trio military railway from Berlin to
Zossen are reported to be perfectly
successful. The speed of the trains
has been gradually increased until
now So miles are comfortably covered
in the hour. The cars run smoothly,
and the engineers express confidence
that they will attain a speed of 1875
miles per hour. The wires have been
tested to a capacity of $4,000 volts,
but hitherto only 5000 volts have
been necessary. 1t is expected that
a current OF 10000 volts will suffice to
give speed per hour of 125 miles.

horn possesses properties unknown in
any other animal matter. It is en-
tirely inodorous, capable of resisting
putrefaction and almost impervious to

HIS LAST POEM.

The last poem written by the late
Maurice Thompson appears in The
New York Independent. The following
is an extract:
Perhaps some peerless southern
knight
Led on at Seven Pines,
Or stormed the heights at Gettysburg
And died above the lines!
"A Farragut, lashed to the mast,
A Forrest, riding free,
A Cleburne, charging set the pace
OF flawless bravery.
And after all what matters it
To soldiers good and true
Whether the hero died in gray
Or laughed at death in blue.
THE man that Stonewall Jackson led
Or Grant or Sherman taught,
Learned at the blazing lannon's
mouth
The worth of those he fought.
Filing out the tattered, grimy flags
In Freedoms blazing sun;
Call forth the limping veterans
And cheer them one by one

ALARM CLOCK IN FERRYsoAT.
It Saw Its Duty When Its Owner Went
to Sleep and Did II.


A naval architect living on Staten
Island bought a Ascent alarm clock
the other afternoon, but he doesn't in
tend to get another. He purchased
the clock in Brooklyn and stuffed it
in his pocket while he made some
calls. Eventually he forgot all about
it. He took a late boat for Staten
Island very much at peace with him
self particular and with the world
in general Although he denies it,
his friends say that he went to sleep.
At all events the clock saw its duty,
and did it, for it went off, with a
bang and a rattle which brought its
owner to his feet and startled every
body else on the boat
The naval architect blushed, and the
other passengers laughed while the
alarm ran on for three or four min
utes and then stopped with a sigh of
satisfaction. The architect says that
he is going to tie the clock in his front
yard and use it for a watch dog

INVENTED THE DENTAL DRILL.
But Nelson Stow Received Little of
the Great Profits of His Idea.


Many a man while seated in a
dentists chair with the drill buzzing
in jumping tooth has said to him
self: How I'd like to catch the in
ventor of this Internal machine!"
The inventor lives in Binghamton,
N Y. Though it is calculated that the
inventor has made for others about
SO 900, 900, the inventor himself is poor
today. Other men have taken the
money, and the present condition of
the old man would mollify even the
iercest of the dentists victims. He is
constantly at work on some new in
vention by means of which he hopes
to retrieve his fortunes, but so far his
efforts have not been successful.
Nelson Stow, when young man.,
succeeded in business so well at Cen
ter Village, a small place near here,
that he owned a large part of the
town and had many men employed I'M
der him in various industries. Think
ing to find larger field for his activ-
ity he came to Binghamton and start
ed a whip factory, which proved
money-making venture. He conceived
the idea of building a street railroad
here, and after consulting OrloW w.
Chapman and other prominent men
constructed the first street car line
ever built in Binghamton. The project
was failure.
Nelson saw that he was losing
money and tried to better himself.
Having given considerable attention
to dentistry he determined to attempt
the invention of machine to do away
with the clumsy methods then en-
ployed in cleaning out cavities in
twelve years, and long before he had
it finished his rail road line and all his
other property was in the hands of
others. But success came at last and
the flexible shaft drill was completed.
It's advantages over the old method
were apparent, and Philadelphia den
tai firm placed many orders for Stow,
whose idea was to manufacture the
machine himself. He started a small
factory here and exhibited the flexible
shaft at the Philadelphia centennial,
where he received many orders for it.
But in filling these orders a fatal
mistake was made. Soon after the
machines were sent out complaints
began to come in that they were use
less. Upon investigation it was found
that a certain part had been over
heated in making the machines and
all were worthless The amount in
volved was only $4,000 but it was
enough to throw him into bankruptcy.
He sold an interest in the flexible
shaft to a Philadelphia firm and be-
fore he could get enough money to-
gether to start in business again the
patent right had expired.
Other people took up it's manufac-
ture and it has already yielded them
in profits something like $3,000000.
This is in the manufacture of dental
drills alone. The flexible shaft, how
ever, is used for scores of other pur-
poses, is used for scores of other pur-
turing, and millions of dollars worth
of them are made every year But the

Animal and Vegetable Growth.
Why and how is the deer so pecul-
iarly unlike any other of the bovine
race, the horn differing so materially
from all the horned cattle in its com
position, growth, maturity and de-
cline? 1t presents all the phenomena
of animal and vegetable growth. 1t

prolongation of the frontal bone. 1t

1t is clothed with a skin and hairy
coat very different from that on the

hair possesses property unknown in
other animal bodes-that of being a
styptic to stanCh its own blood when
wounded. 1t carries marks of the age

Spontaneous Combustion.

Oils from animal or vegetable
sources burst into flame spontaneous
lN~when mixed with cotton waste,
rags, etc, and exposed TO the air.
They take in oxygen from the air so
rapidly that they get heat enough TO
burn. Drying oils flame up moro
quickly than olive oil or other non
drying ous. Careful experiment has
shown that when exposed in a room
to a temperature Of from 1870 degrees
to 10 degrees boiled linseed Gil on
cotton waste ignites in IA hours; raw
linseed oil on cotton waste In 4 hours;
lard oil on cotton waste in hours;
COLA oil on cotton waste in hours;
olive oil on cotton waste in hours;
sperm oil on cotton waste in hours;
castor oil on cotton waste in "a hours.
1t has also been shown that the admix-
ture of 20 to so per cent. of mineral
oil with any of the Vegetable or animal
oils will prevent them from igniting.
Furniture polish on rags and badly
cured hay are also dangerous.

HOW M'kINLEY SHAKES HANDS,
New Orleans Physician Says He Does
II Eagerly and Firmly.

IL Eagerly dHu TlTTniys
81 had the pleasure of shaking
hands with President Mckinley while
he was in New Orleans" said a local
physician, ''and was very much i'm
pressed with the way he grabbed my
hand. He is not timid handshaker.
He grabs the hand like he meant it
eagerly, firmly and like he was glad
to grab it. Do you know, judge men
in this way? l utterly despise the
dishrag handshake, the SOFT mushy
handshake. | want to feel the muscles
of the hand contract and harden This
tishy wilted, Uriah Heep handshake
is an abomination in the sight of men
who pay enough attention to it to rea.
son the matter OUT OF course, there
are some good men who have very
light grip; but nine men out of ten
who hand you a wilted paw are weak
in the spinal column. Mckinley has
a good grip--a good, hard, earnest
hand.
by the way, did you ever think
about the effect of handshaking on
the muscles of the hand, the wrist and
the arm? The muscles of the fingers
on the right hand, the wrist muscles
and the muscles Of the arm and Shout
der are more thoroughly developed
than the muscles on the other side
of the body. The muscles and liga-
ments that are brought into play by
the hand shaking habit are hardened,
and this affords one of the reasons
for the difference in size between the
right hand and the left. There are
exceptions, however, to this rule.
Sometimes a glove that will slip with
perfect ease on the right hand will
not fit the left hand at all. 1t will
prove too small
Il have noticed a curious difference
in the finger muscles of the right
hand. The degree of hardness seems
to diminish as you pass from the fore
finger toward the smallest digital
member, but when you get to the
small finger you find something of
the hardness which you have found in
the first digit. The muscles of the
two middle fingGs-that is, the sec
ond and third fingers-are compare
lively soft. But the muscles in these
fingers on the right hand are general
ly harder than the muscles in the
same fingers on the left hand. These
fingers are more active than the
others. The thumb of the right hand
is harder than the thumb Of the left
hand, but the difference between the
thumbs is not so marked, as these
members are always pretty busy. The
veins on the right hand and arm stand
out more conspicuously than they do
on the left. and for the same reasons.
Just where the effect of handshak-
ing ends on the muscles of the right
side of the body cannot with certainty
be determined. The molecular ener-
giles started may reach down through
all the muscles of the right hand, but
the force is gradually diminished as il
leaves the hand, and any difference
that might exist between the muscu-
lar formations on this side of the
main body and the other would scarce
ly be perceptible, and consequently
would be of no moment. In cases like
that of the president of the United
States the effect of handshaking on
the muscles of the hand wrist and
arm is very noticeable, even to the
man with an unframed eye for such
things. New Orleans Times-Demo-
