Nothing Very Mysterious In the
Process Employed.
Recently, at one of our large hotels,
while a party were holding an argu-
ment on the subject Of spiritualism,
one young fellow expressed his belief
that there was something in it, as he
himself was a sort of medium"
"How a Medium" inquired one OF
the speakers.
why" replied the wag, II can do a
good many mysterious things; for in
stance, l can make a bell ring with
out touching it,"
The other offered to wager that he
couldn't. The wag persisted, and said
that he would lay him five pounds
he could make at least dozen of the
bells in the passage ring within two
minutes, without leaving his seat.
"Done!" exclaimed the sceptic, and
the money was stakeC.
The young fellow turned round on
his seat, opened closet door, and
turned off the gas from the upper part
of the building. In less than one min
ute half the bells in the passage began
to ring violently, the persons above
having suddenly lost their lights.
And so, of course, the money was
fairly won.-London Answers.

CAUSE OF LOCKJAW.

Lockjaw, or tetnus, is caused by
a bai]lus or germ which exists plen-
titully in street dirt. It is inactive
SO long as exposed to the air, but
when carried beneath the skin as in
wounds caused by percussion caps
or by rusty nails, and when the air
is excluded the germ Is reused to
activity and produces the most vir-
ulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and all danger Of
lockjaw avoided by applying Cham
berlain g Pain Balm freely as soon
AZ the injury is received. Pain
Balm is an anticeptic and causes

condition which would not have been

mother. They have telephone
When the nurse is detained by her
business away from home over night,
she telephones to her mother to re-
lieve the latter's anxiety. One night,
after talking with her mother over
the wire, she asked about Trusty.
The dog was by the side of the
mother. The daughter telephoned
back to have the receiver placed at
Trusty's ear. This was done, and the
mistress of the dog talked to him.
That he recognized her voice was
evident, for he barked and appeared
overjoyed. After the receiver was
hung up, Trusty jumped toward it.,
and acted as II he wanted to take It
down. During the night he lay near
the telephone, and frequently looked
up at the receiver and whined. In

WHEN BANK CLERKS SMOKE
Forbidden While Doors Are Open, b.
Permitted After Thoy Close.

ToT01IIIeO tAIIoF 0oy NIOSSs
In every bank in this city there is
a rule against smoking, and it is
doubtful if any deposition or visitor to
any banking institution in tho town
ever saw a coil of tobacco smoke sift-
ing through the atmosphere in the
big counting houses-that is, no WIS.,
itor who is excluded from the build
ing promptly when the bank closes.
But if the curious could squeeze their
way through those closed portals in
the afternoon they would be treated
to very different sight.
The rules against smoking in all
the big banks of the city apply only
during banking hours. After the doors
are closed and locked one can trans
form himself into a human volcar
with perfect freedom-and he does.
And "he" is legion.
The favored one who is allowed to
remain within the locked doors of
such an institution as the National
City bank is treated to an unusual
spectacle. At least $50 clerks are
employed in this bank, and Of that
number there are probably not
score who do not indulge in the
weed"
AS the hands of the clock approach
closing time $50 pairs of eyes search
for the form of the superintendent of
the building. AS he approaches the
door, hands reach into pockets with
military unison Of movement. The
hands rest there until the lock clicks
in the door. Then. in a twinkling,
cigarettes, cigars and pipes are pro-
duced, and in another second there
Is fusillade of striking matches. Be
fore a minute passes q dense blue
vapor begins to rise behind the bright
glass partitions and before the clerks
have finished their days work the
usually immaculate counting room
has all the appearance of good old
fashioned smoker, the scratching of
pens being substituted for the clilk
of steins.-New York Times.
