TORPEDO PLACED ON TRACK
Supposed Attempt TO Hold Up street
Car

There was quite little excitement on
North Main street about $50 last evening,
caused by a supposed attempt TO hold up
a street car. When car No. ia in charge
of r. II. Grimes was near Second street
a report Of a sun was heard and the mo-
torman says that he saw the fash and
heard the report. He Immediately re-
versed the car and a policeman came run
ming to see what the trouble was. The
two then began a search Of the neighbor-
hood to find If possible who fired the
shot Quite q crowd had gathered by
this time. Some one while walking along
the track found the cap Of a large rail-
road torpedo near the spot where the
shot was fired. As this was exploded the
officer and motorman decided that this
was the cause OF the report.

Pound Foolishness.

One of the commonest forms of pound
foolishness is countenanced by many
high authorities. This is the purchase
of certain household provisions in large
quantities. Few writer's on domestic
topics fail to lay stress upon the econ
omy of buying groceries in bulk. That
sugar and flour, potatoes and apples
should be bought by the half or whole
barrel, cereals by the case, butter by
the tub and other things in like proper
ton is one of the early precepts in the
"Young Housekeeper's Complete Guide
to Domestic Economy"
The ignorant young things buy the
provisions first and the experience aft
erward. The -four grows musty, the
cereals develop weevils, the potatoes
and apples rot long before they can be
eaten, and the cook exercises lavish

Loneline.. and Health.

A medical Journal has Of late been
discoursing on the indigestion OF lone
liness. By this title is meant to be IN
dicated the disorders Of digestion which
are believed to follow the practice Of
taking ones meals in solitary state.
The topic is by no means an uninter-
esting one. Thousands of men and wo-
men living alone are compelled to take
their meals for the most part without
company. Week in and week out they
feed themselves without a soul to talk
to, and the medical journal devotes its
energies to showing that the practice
is not one that Is likely to be conducive
to digestion, to proper bodily nol1rish-.
ment or to health. The solitary man
soon tires of merely eating, and, If he Is
not of a literary turn OF mind, his tend
ency is to hurry through his meals to,
escape from his loneliness into the So
ciety of his fellow men. Herein, 1t is
held. lies danger to health.

BEAUTY SPOTS.

Try lemon juice for whitening the
neck. Apply 1T with linen cloth.
After the head has been shampooed,
whenever possible, give the head sun
bath.
7 A writer states that oily hands may
be made comfortable and touchable by
wetting them once or twice day while
clean with cologne. alcohol or toilet
vinegar.
A good circulation is essential to the
growth Of the hair as well as to its col
or and fineness. A frequent, vigorous
brushing with a stiff brush is the best
method Of obtaining this.
A writer upon the complexion says
the best way to treat freckles, sure
cure in all but very obstinate cases, is
to touch them night and morning with
camels hair brush after dipping 1t in
lemon Juice.
For a greasy skin nothing is better
than the combination of an ounce Of
dried rose leaves, half pint Of white
wine vinegar and half pint of rose
water. Let the vinegar stand on the
rose leaves for week. then add the
rosewater. Use tablespoonful in a
cup of distilled water.

A Geological Fallacy.

Probably the most wild and unjusti-
fable Of all the crude beliefs respect
ing geological resources is that which
holds to the conviction that by going
deep enough the drill is sure to find
something of value, no matter at what
point the work Of boring is commenced.
There are numerous wise persons in
every community, estimable, induen-
tial and in the highest degree public
spirited who are convinced that the
question. for example. of finding coal
in their special locality is simply a
matter of the depth to which the ex-
plorations are carried. Rock oil and
natural gas are recognized as desirable
products in every progressive commu-
nifty, and every such community con-
tains persons In other respects intelli-
gent who are ready to stake their own
fortune and that of their nearest
friends on the belief that oil and gas
are everywhere underneath the surface
and that their sources can be tapped
with the drill provided only there, is
sufficient capital to keep up the process
of drilling long enough Mines and
Minerals.

aMer Creaturea.

There are microscopic creatures
which live in roof cutters and on the
bark of trees and are known as water
bears and wheel animalcul@. If allow
ed to dry up under the microscope, they
can be seen to shrivel into shapeless
masses. which may be kept for years
uninjured in the dried state, '.s ~
On being placed after this long inter
val in water they gradually plump up,
resume their proper shape and move
about in search of food just as IL moth
ing had happened. Much the same is
true for the minute worms which from
the substances in which they live are
known as paste and vinegar cells. Well
known is the famous case Of the desert
snail, which, retracted into it's shell,
was fastened to tablet in the British
museum and showed no sign of life for
seven years, when one morning it was
found crawling hungrily about the
glass case that formed its prison.

Professional Shoppers.

Professional shoppers are employed
by certain large firm of London
diapers to test the abilities Of shop as
sistants. This firm owns over thirty
large shops and employs nearly 1000
assistants. To find out whether every
customer is politely served number
Of lady customers are employed to call
at the various shops. They are told to
give as much trouble as possible and
sometimes to leave without making
purchase after looking at nearly every
thing in the shop. Should the unfortu-
nate assistants temper not be equal
to the strain. or should a single word
be said that might offend, report will
infallibly reach headquarters and lead
to the dismissal of the sorely tried

The Driver. Point of view.

The hotel coach was filled with a
crowd of happy, jubilant visitors, and
the horses toiled splendidly up the
hills. AS each eminence was reached
and at every turn in the road the crowd
would burst forth into cries of wonder
and delight at the magnificent scenes
which burst upon their view. The
mountain jehu alone preserved dig
nifty and silence which rather awed the
others. At length, after particularly
lovely view had been passed, one Of the
guests at the drivers left hand re-
marked:
You don't seem to take much inter-
est in the scenery. No doubt it's an old
story to YOU
The driver shook his head. ..No,

closer and whispered: "But knows
just how you folks must feel. You all

Up HIS Sleeve.

At the battle of Omdurman a soldier
belonging to a Scotch regiment was
nearly killed by bullet which struck
the ground just in front Of him while
he was firing in reclining position.
On rising to move a few feet forward,
something came down his sleeve. 1t
was the bullet. How 1t got up his
sleeve without in1icting damage can
only be accounted for by the fact that
it must have been spent by the time it
struck the ground in front Of him and
the course of its flight up his sleeve
was its last billet.
