THE IMPORTANT POINT.

While extreme cases of
disease are cured by the
use of vGolden Medical
Discovery" the important
point is not to neglect the
slight cough. From such
neglect fatal results have
come to many thousands.
1t is useless to try the mere
ccough medicine, =" or pal
liative, which soothes but
does not cure. The one
thing desirable is to be
cured quickly and per
manently, and it is in such
cures that the e Discovery"

Lifting by Magnets.

The most important employment Of
the magnet in the mechanical indus
tries is in lifting and handling such
masses of metal as ship plates, boiler
plates and parts Of machines which it
would otherwise be difficult to get hold
of. 1t effects an average economy in
time and cost of handling, stacking,
loading and unloading of from so to 70
per cent.
To meet the possible danger that
from any cause the current from the
dynamo might be cut off, causing the
magnet to drop its load, it is usual in
well appointed plants to install a stor-
age battery, which effectually guards
against such accident. In handling
billets and material of convenient
shape a number Of pieces may be pick
ed up at one time. The same is true
Of thin plates.
The type of magnets used in most
American works has a lifting capac-
fly of five tons. 1t makes a stranger
nervous to see them at work, and he
generally does not need to be reminded
that unless his life is insured at its
full value he would do well to stand
from under. But sings and chains
break under loads quite as often as
magnets drop their loads by accident
and in wrong places. - New York

United States Buys Three-nfths Of
Worlds Output.
The world has never seen and in no
other part of the world is there now to
be seen anything like Americas Jewel
madness as shown by the conditions of
today, when more than 300 New York
establishments are engaged solely in
the importation of precious stones.
when agents of American dealers are
searching Europe for the white gem
and hopelessly endeavoring to supply
American appeals for rubies and emer-
aids and when 5000 men in South AZ
RIGA are toiling to obtain diamonds,
more than half of which are to add to
the beauty and happiness of the Amer
lean woman
1t is she that has caused the United
States to become the greatest diamond
market in the world. For her we have
imported in single year $20,OOO,000
worth Of precious stones, for her at
one period we struggled them in at the
rate of 100000 a year, for her we
annually buy something like $4,000,
600 worth of diamonds and thus for
her sake heartlessly leave of the
worlds total output of diamonds only
some $8,0O0,0OO worth to satisfy the
vanity of all the rest of the women on
earth.
For her adornment we annually
cause to be brought to this country
diamonds weighing in the aggregate
1,20O pounds, weight three times that
of the total output of the famous Kim
berley field and practically the equal of
that Of the whole of South Africa, the
worlds greatest diamond mine.-Frank

Fond of Smoking.

Smoking in church is a Dutch Gus
tom. Dutchmen are such inveterate
smokers that one of them is rarely
seen without his pipe. He finds him
self unable to deprive himself of the
indulgence even for the short period
Of church service. similar practice
exists In several churches in South
America. Smoking in churches in Great
Britain is said to have been prevalent
at the end of the sixteenth and the be-
ginning of the seventeenth century.
At one time smoking was carried to
such an excess in Seville cathedral that
the chapter applied to the pope for
power to repress the abuse Urban
VIII, yielding to their wish, issued
bull, which was promulgated Jan. 80,
1912.
In Wales smoking in church was in
dulged in as late as 1850 In one church
the communion table stood in the aisle,
and the farmers were in the habit of
putting their hats upon it, and when
the service began they lighted their
pipes and smoked, without any thought
of irreverence in the act.-Youth's
Companion.

OUR PRESIDENTS.
Only One impeachment and but Two
Resolutions of Censure.

Only One impeachment and but Two
Resolutions of Censure.
Andrew johnson was the only presi-
dent of the United States ever i'm
peached, and on the trial before the
senate he was acquitted, the vote in
favor of conviction barely falling short
of the necessary two-thirds.
Two resolutions of censure on the
president have been passed, once by
the senate and once by the house, on
occasions when the hostile majority
was not large enough either to pass
measures over the presidents veto or
to impeach him.
The first was passed by the senate ON
March %. 1884. censuring President
Andrew Jackson for alleged violation
of the constitution and laws by his re-
moyal of the government deposits from
the United States bank. The majority
of the senate was opposed to Jackson
in his war upon that bank, and this
vote of censure was the only thing
they could do about it. jackson pro-
tested against this resolution as a
charge to answer which no opportunity
could be Afforded him. The senate re-
fused to receive the protest Finally,
on Jan. 16, 1887, the resolution of GEN.
sure was expunged from the Journal
of the senate.
The second resolution Of censure was
In report adopted by the house from
the house committee to which Presi-
dent John Tyler's message vetoing the
tariff bill of 1912 mad been referred.
This report censured the president for
alleged improper use of the veto power.
Tyler protested against this, as Jack
son had done before him, but he had,
as a member of the senate, voted
against receiving Jackson's protest,
and in answer to his protest the house
sent him copy of the senate resolu-
ton on the former occasion.

Many working jewelers. with whom
articles are left to repair are very
tricky individuals indeed, and women
are their chief victims. A great device
of the working jeweler, so far as gold
chains go, is to take off the hallmarked
fastening loops and to substitute for
these an exact imitation in metal, SO
that these should always be most care
fully examined. In ladies' lockets the
jeweler fraud usually takes out the
gold inside rim which fastens the
glass, and of course he puts in a sham
substitute. Where an article sent to
him contains a great number of toler-
ably small stones he viii take one or
two of these out and put in imitation
articles specially made to deceive, says
Woman's Life. A working jeweler has
been known to make pounds a week
by taking away the hallmarked cross
bars of gold alberts and replacing them
with brass. These remarks only, Of
course, apply to the small number Of
black sheep to be found in this as in
every trade.

PROTECTION OF WORDS.
A Plea For Rest For Our Familia

Plea For n Rest For Our Familiar
Quotations.
In these days when everybody is
writing and everybody seems to sue
coed would it not be well to start
society for the protection of words and
phrases? Many of these are so bru-
tally overworked by the amateur. The
winged words, the words that burn,
the thoughts that breathe, the telling
phrases, do they not clamor loudly for
a rest? That very sentence affords an
Illuminating example of what | mean.
How apt, how vivid, how expressive it
would be if all its epithets had not lost
their vitality through overwork! To
the stated reader the whole sentence is
but the echo of an echo. 1t not merely
means nothing, but it is robbed even Of
its sound and fury.
The greenhorn that complained of
Hamlet that it was too full of quota
lions unconsciously expressed a great
fact through the medium of bull. In
a wrongheaded way he pointed out that
constant reiteration has reduced the
grandest passages in the language to
mere commonplace. Give our familiar
quotations a rest. Lay to sleep our
household words. Let fortune for
awhile cease to favor the brave Let
us feign that the poet is made. Let a
man who would steal another's thun-
der be arrested for felony. Let US win
no more golden opinions. Let the ia
vored few withdraw to some select Sc
clusion and the countless thousands to
some dry eyed privacy.
Thus may nouns, adjectives and
phrases, after a long rest, reawaken
with the freshness of the morning upon
them, their original meanings recreat-
ed, energetic, effective, brilliant as on
the day when they were first conceived
and brought forth.-Era.

ARTIFICIAL ice.
Principle Upon which This Commod.
fty Is Manufactured

Principle Upon Which This Commod.
ity Il Manufactured.
The principle upon which the manu-
facture of ice is based is that gas
when compressed gathers heat enor-
mously, and if robbed of this heat and
allowed to escape at a future time it
seeks to regain its heat by withdraw
fng heat from its surroundings. Am
monia gas is generally preferred to
others because 1t can be liquefied with
comparatively little pressure. On re-
moving the water from common am
monia by distiliation anhydrous am
monia is obtained This is compressed
by combined steam pump and a COM
pressor, and the resulting liquefaction
induces heat, which is economical by
circulating water about the vessel or
pipe containing the liquefied ammonia.
Thus the ammonia is cooled and the
heat largely transferred to the water,
which is then pumped back to the
boiler that supplies the steam pump.
The liquid ammonia is then carried in
a pipe to expansion coils that afford
plenty of room for it's evaporation,
when it begins to return to the gaseous
form and to draw heat from its sur
roundings which gradually reduces
the temperature. Proper vessels Of
water are placed in contact with the
expansion coils. and in due time ice
is formed.

TAR AND FEATHERS.
Bow 1t Feels to Wear a Coat of This
Fearful Mixture.

Row 1t Feels to Wear a Coat of This
Fearful Mixture.
People who read of tarring and feath-
ering know that the punishment is
very unpleasant one, but few imagine
how terribly painful and dangerous it
is. In Wyoming once saw a man who
had been tarred and feathered, and, al
though he fully deserved the discipline,
could not help plying him. Hard
ened tar is very hard to remove from
the skin, and when feathers are added
1t forms a kind of cement that sticks
closer than a brother. AS soon as the
tar sets the victims suffering begins.
1t contracts as it cools, and every one
Of the little veins on the body is pulled,
causing the most exquisite agony. The
perspiration is entirely stopped. and
unless the tar is removed death is GER
tain to ensue.
But the removal is no easy task and
requires several days. The tar cannot
be softened by the application of heat
and must be peeled off bit by bit,
sweet oil being used to make the proc
ess less painful The irritation to the
skin is very great as the hairs cannot
be disengaged, but must be pulled out
OF cut OFF. No man can be cleaned of
tar in single day, as the pain of the
operation would be too excruciating
for endurance, and until this is done he
has to suffer from a pain like that of
ten thousand pin pricks. Numbers of
men have died under the torture, and
none who have gone through 1t regard
tar and feathering as anything but
most fearful MISUNDERSTANDING

to kill the murderer and that two
wrongs never made a right.

proceeded to relate the following story,
presumably in support of his argu-
ment:
"A man entered a country grocery,
where a number of the villagers sat
around on barrels and boxes, and ask
ed If two wrongs ever made a right.
The response was Never SO 1

"when l met stranger who asked me
to change a five dollar bill for him.

the bill was a counterfeit. So l kept

Theater Audiences.

Have you ever noticed that theater
audiences always assemble in the re-
verse order to the prices of admission
The cheapest seats are occupied first
and the most expensive ones last.
Those who go to the extreme back
upper perches are always on hand be-
fore the doors are open and wait with
heroic patience to be admitted. Those
who occupy the seats little lower in
position and a little higher in price
come next. Then the balcony begins
to fill from the back downward, from
70 cents a seat in the back rows,
through 81 and $1.50 to 81 down in
front
On the orchestra floor is the same
condition of affairs, those who occupy
the most expensive seats entering just
before the curtain rises or shortly after
it is up, while the boxes are usually
not occupied until the first act is well
under way.-New York Herald.

HE FILLep THE BUCKET.
a Story of Grant When He Was .


sPleb." at West Point.
There is a story told of General Grant
when a pleb. He had just entered on

classman who had noticed the boys
strong build intimated to him it would
be pleasure to have him call imme-
diately at the seniors tent Grant
went There is a rule at West Point
which was rule then as well, that any
cadet who asks another to perform
mental labor for him shall be dismissed
from the service. The first classman
knew too much to ask his pleb. visitor
outright to do anything of the kind.
but here is the way he went at it:
Il presume, Mr.. Grant, that you have
lived on farm. and, this being the
case, you have had undoubtedly good
opportunity to note the effect of the
SUMS rays on certain objects. Now, If
you had left a water bucket that was
innocent of holding single drop of the
fluid out In the sun from its rising to
its setting, what do you think, sir,
would be the particular effect upon that
particular water bucket?"
81 think" said Grant, "that it would
get warped and leaky."
Every good, Mr.. Grant. You show
erudition beyond your years. Now, If
you will notice my water bucket, you
will see that it is as dry as chip.
Now, by the further exercise of your
knowledge, Mr.. Grant, can you tell me
by what means may prevent the
warping and leaking of my bucketT'
"Have it filed" said Grant.
Every good again, Mr. Grant, but
note that you said have it filed not
I'LL it. That necessarily means that
some one must fill it for me. You have
shown so much acumen that / fear
to violate your prescription either in
letter or in spirit, which | should do If
presumed to carry the bucket to the
water tank myself"

Professor Munsterberg Of Harvard,
whose speciality is psychology, relies
to some extent on the point of good
story in enforcing his positions in alb
stract demonstration. He has one on
the association Of ideas that will illus

curately called ''fakir" nowadays-an-
nounced that he had invented and had
for sale magic pot If certain rather
common stones were mixed and placed
In the pot, with a certain portion Of
water, and the whole shaken diligently
for an hour, the stones would turn to
gold provided that during the hour the
operator should not think Of hippo
pctamus. The fakir sold great many
for fabulous sums, and not one of the
purchasers ever demanded a return of
the money. The fakir knew his busi-
ness. He was in advance of his age in
psychology, in his skill in permanently
fixing in his customers minds the as
