How Work Kills Music.

Did you ever hear of tclegrapher

many? Not how many pianos, Of
course, but how many tclcgraphers
Telegraph operators find that after they
have worked at key for several years
their forcarms and their fingers lose
that tleNibility that is essential to mu-
sicianly work OH the piano. AS many
Of the men are fond Of music and have
pianos Of their own they find it hard
to be cut off from the enjoyment of
the music they could make for them
selves If 1t were not for the strained
conditions of the muscles.
There are few other lines Of work
that incapacitatc man for picking out
the sharps and flats, but the tclcgra
pliers say that they know few mon in
their ranks who can use Il piano with
any effect.
When they sit down before one.
their first move is tho old impulse that
operating the key gives them. They
want to use that finger that they use
in sending messages. and they find it
difficult even after they struggle for a
long time to make themselves players

Excessive Energy,

Energy is Il fine thing, but, like
steam, it needs a little restraint and
careful guiding. If the safety valve
doesn't work there's likely to be a
breakdown or blow up now and then.
The nervousy, fdgety woman is a
dreadful bore. She rufllcs up the at
mosphcre and makes everybody wish
she would take a vacation and rest up
like sixty. Some OF those people who
fy around the fastest do The least
work. and the proper thing to acquire
Is balance. Work as hard as you want
to, but let up when the moment for
letting up arrives. There is q limit to
human endurance, and when you go
beyond the limit you never get back
into the valve OF strong endurance and
line vitality. 1t is the man or the wo-
man who knows how to work and how
to rest who gets things done all fine
ana shipshapc and without tearing the
roof or its feet. These remarks NAV
be blunt, like chsel, but they're as
true as the fact that the Lord made lit
tie apples.-Chicago Record Herald.

A Curious Clock,

In one Of the chief matchmaking es-
adjustments in Zurich there is to be
seen remarkable curiosity in the way
Of watch or clock making. The time.
piece is in the form of ball, which
moves impcrceptibly down an inclined
surface without rolling. The length Of
this inclined surface. which is sixteen
inches long, is accomplished from top
to bottom in twcntyfour hours. Then
the ball only needs lifting to the top
again. This extraordinary timcpicce
has no spring and therefore needs no
winding. The hands are kept in mo-
ton by the sliding along an inclined
planc.--London Globe.

From the evidence, 1t seems that Bull

at Laurel, to make a collection on a
buggy. a dispute ensued over the pole
of the vehicle, Stineman claiming that
he was to have a choice of poles and
the one on the buggy did not just suit
him. He wanted to defer payment unui
the pole was changed, but Buffer inslst-
ed on payment at once. or he Woula
take the buggy. Stineman told him to
take the vehicle if he wanted to, but
later changed his mind and agreed to
paw Buffer. II was claimed by the
state that as Stineman was in the act
of paying over the money. Bulfef
struck him with wrench back OF the
left ear.
After Buffer returned to Ferguson

Horsley, became engaged in an affray

The trouble between the two men
dates back about year and a half,
when Mrs. Horsley received treatment
at the hands of DR.. Wood The hus-
band was not satisfied and began to
make remarks concerning Dir. Wood
professional ability. He went so far,
it is claimed, to threaten the doctor
with suit of damages which was
later settled on advice of DR.. Woods
attorney. rather than to go to the ex-
pense OF litigation.
Dr. Wood claims that since that time
Mr.. Horsley has been aggravating him
in several ways. standing at the foot
of his Office stairs and trying to in
fluence patients to go elsewhere for
treatment. While Horsley was talking
to one of the doctors patients Monday
afternoon the incident that precipitated
the fight occurred. Miss Bessie Shears.
who is employed in DR.. Woods office,
happened to pass by where the men
We're talking, and, knowing that DR..
Wood had an appointment with the
man, advised Mr.. Horsley to go on
about his own business. Horsey. 1t is
claimed called Miss Shears a vile name
and DR.. Wood resented it upon being
informed.
DR.. Wood was released on his own
bonds after his arrest. and took
change of venue to Justice Clark's
court. He will likely offer plea OF
guilty. but will plead extenuating cir
