PREVENTS PICKING OF LOCKS.

using a pencil form of key. With the
common lock there is slot in the
keyhole which CORES ponds with the
position of the tumbler in the mechan-
ism, and it is through this slot that
the false key can be inserted which
throws the bolt. The essential feature
of this invention is a recessed wing,
which, being housed within the shank
of the key, requires no slot for its
passage through the front plate of
the lock, but which can be brought
into action within the lock to provide
an additional wing or projection to
operate the tumblers. As there is only
very short slot projecting from one
side of the circular opening in the
front plate of the lock. it is almost
impossible to insert anything through
the plate which shall have a wing long
enough to move the tumblers after il
has once reached the interior of the
lock. The only difference in cost of
this lock over any ordinary pattern
Is the slight additional expense for
the key. The invention has been pat
ented in England by \. II. WOrmald, of
Shet1ield.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

How Deafness IL Caused,

Deafness cannot be cured by local
applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition.

LOCKTAW ANTITOXIN.
Ii Has Not Proved Quite as Effective
as the Prompt Inj e. ectiOn Of
CarboIic Acid.

Only partial success has attended the
use of an antitoXin for treating lock-
jaw. When there is reason to antici-
pate an attack, this serum can be used
advantageously as a preventive. But
its curative value, after the disease
manifests itself, is not uniform. Some
times it does good and sometimes 1T
seems to be without effect. On the
whole, while reluctant to abandon 1t
altogether, experts recognize the fact
that this particular antitoXin does not
work as we'll as could be desired.
Attention has accordingly been di-
rected by the medical press of late
to a system of dealing with tetanus
suggested by Prof. Baccelli, of Rome.
He resorts to injections Of carbolic
acid, which is one of the most power
full antiseptic agents known. The
idea of introducing germicides into
the blood to fight various bacterial
diseases-tuberculo for instance
is an old one. Carbolic acid has been
a favorite resource in such experiments
also. However, its application to te-
tanus is comparatively new. Though
the scheme was proposed several years
ago, the profession has given the pref
ence to the serum treatment. Now, how
ever, the Baccelli method is coming to
the front again. Italian surgeons are
enthusiastic over it's effects. Prof.
Babes, Bucharest, who may possibly be
less preiudiced than Baccelli's fellow
countrymen, recommends its use when
serum is not obtaina ble-N. Y. Trib-

BALLAST FOR RAILWAYS.
--latest Scheme to Improve Roadbeds
Is to Run Nearly Dry Cement
Under the Ties.

Millions of dollars are being exc
pended in improvements on the large
railways of the country, tending to-
ward the final end of increase in
speed and reducing the time occupied
in traversing the distance between
different sections of the country.
Recent experiments with high-speed
cars in Germany have shown that
the roadbed itself must be greatly
improved over the average condition
now maintained before trains could
be run at much faster speed. 1t is
not sufficient to remove the curves
and lessen the gradient, but the
tracks must be ballasted to the point

SAYS BIBLE FoRelDS ORGAN.
Preacher who Left Kentucky Church
Owing to Question of Music Defends
His Action.

Rev. DR.. j. w. McGarvey, president
of the Bible college of Kentucky uni
versity and n noted writer, has caus-
ed a stir throughout the south by his
withdrawal from the Broadway Chris
tian church because the congregation
voted to install instrumental music.
He has travelled extensively in the old
world in search of Biblical curios, Of
which he has probably the largest
collection of any man in the south.
He gave out statement supporting
his withdrawal, in which he declared
that the use of instrumental music
in church was contrary to the teach
ings of the Scriptures.
Dr.. McGarvey was supported by j,
w. Zachry, an elder and missionary,
who in the last campaign headed the
prohibition party as candidate for
congress in this district. He was
supported also by 20 other members
of the congregation. These latter
have taken their letters to the Chest
nut Street church, which has no
organ.

The first stage of catarrh is what is
commonly known as Catching cold"
1t may be in the head, nose, throat or
lungs. It's beginning is sometimes so
severe as to cause a chill and consider
able fever, or it may be so slight as to
not hinder person from his usual
business. In perhaps majority of
cases little or no attention is paid to
the first stage of catarrh and hence it
is that nearly one-half of the people

TRUCK DRIVER AND HORSE.
How n Fr7erdIy Understanding De-
velOpcd Between Them.


The friendly relations which often
exist between truck drivers and their
horses Is shown in the story of Chief
tain. one of the tales in Horses Nine"
by Sewel Ford. Tim Doyle, the driv-
or. having been left alone in the world,
takes up lodgings in the stable. The
story runs thus: SO for three years or
more Chieftain had always had good
night pat on the flank from Tim, and
in the morning. after the currying and
rubbing, they had little friendly ban
ter in the way of love slaps from Tim
and good natured nosings from Chief
tain. Perhaps many Of Tins conf
dences were given half in jest. and per-
haps Chieftain sometimes thought that
Tim was d bit slow in perception; but,
all in all. each understood the other
even better than either realized.
OF course Chieftain could not tell
Tim of all those vague longings which
had to do with new grass and springy
turf. nor could he know that Tim had
similar longings. These thoughts each
kept to himself But if Cheftain was
Of Norman blood, a horse whose noble
sires had ranged pasture and paddock
free from rein or trace, Tim was
DOYLE whose father and grandfather
had lived close to the good green sod
and had done their toll in the open,
with the cool and calm of the country
to soothe and revive them.
OF such delights as these both Chief
tain and Tim had tasted scantily, hur-
riedly, in youth. and for them in the
lapses of the daily grind both yearned
each after his own fashion.
And, each in his way, Tim and Chief
tain were philosophers. AS the years
had come and gone. toll filled and
uneventful. the character of the man
had ripened and mcllowed, the DISPOSE
ton of the horse had settled and sweet
ened.
In his earlier days Tim had been
ready to smash a wheel or lose one, to
demand right of way with profane
JUNCTION and to back his word with
whip, fist or bale hook. But he had
learned to yield an inch on occasion
and to use the soft word.
Chieftain, too. in his first years be-
tween the poles had sometimes been
impatient with the unframed mates
who from time to time Joined the team.
He had taken part in name biting and
trace kicking, especially on days when
the loads were heavy and the flies
thick, conditions which try the best of
horse tempers. But he had steadied
down into a pole horse who could set
an example that was worth more than
all the six foot lashes ever tied to
whipStock.

Odd DxrRIIinC Sites.

The people of Tupuselei have no need
to travel far when they want to take a
salt water bath. The town is built on
piles which have been driven into q
submerged coral reef situated far out
in the Torres strait to the south Of
New Guinea. Opposite this extraordl-
nary settlement on the mainland is an
other village that is perched high in
the air among the gigantic palm trees
with which the coast is fringed. The
object Of both communities in choosing
these curious sites for their dwellings
is identical. They desire to assure
themselves against being surprised by
their numerous enemies, and especial
ly they seek safety from the prowling

PEOPLE WHO APPEAR OLD.
How They May Preserve the buoy
ancy and FRESHNESS of Duth.

How They May Preserve the buoy
ancy and FrCshneas of Youth.
People who appear old must expect
to be considered so, and, if they apply
for positions with every appearance
that senillty has struck them and that
they have gone to seed. they cannot
expect favorable consideration. If gray
haired applicants for positions would
only appreciate the value of appear
ances and would "brace up" when they
seek situatiOns-go well grOomed'
and well dressed, with elastic steps,
showing that they still possess fire,
force and enthusiastically would
eliminate an obstacle greater than
their gray hairs.
We think ourselves into incapacity
by looking for signs of age and dwell
ing on them, and the body follows the
thought. We should, therefore, avoid
the appearance of age in every posi-
BILE way-by dress. carriage, conversa-
ton and especially by our attitude to-
ward people and things. 1t is not diff
cult to preserve the buoyancy ana
freshness of youth, but it must be done
by constant effort and practice a mu-
sician who expects TO make only one or
two important appearances a year
must keep up his practice. Youthful
ness cannot be put on for day if old
age has had a grip on you for months.
1t is important to preserve the fire or
youth as long as possible, to carry
freshness and vigor into old age by
keeping up a hearty interest in every
thing that interests youth. Many OF
us seem to think that youthful sports
and pastimes are foolish, and before
we know it we get entirely out of SYM
pathy with all young life, and conse-
quently really old. whatever our years.
We must think youthful thoughts, as
sociate with young people and interest
them. When a person ceases to inter
est the young he may be sure that he
is showing signs of old age.-Success.
