,NATcTEs A DRAWING CARD
Gotham Stationery Dealer Finds That
Keeping Them in Stock Is a Big
Impetus to Trade.

In a downtown stationery shop the
most conspicuous display in the show
window is a card on which are mounted
boxes Of matches of different sizes, with
the information that lights" are to be
obtained inside. That's my drawing
card" said the veteran dispenser of pen
ellis and Office supplies to a New York
Times reporter. ut brings me more
business than all the rest of the stuff in
the window. It's this way" he ex-
planned. "Smokers-and who doesn't
smake?-are constantly finding them
selves without matches, and there is
nothing harder to buy out of the regions
OF the grocery stores. l got this tip
from one of my customers, Why don't
YOU sell matches?' he asked.
4 laid in a supply and put the sign
in the window. Scores come in every
cay for matches who never before en-
tered my store, and every other one at
least becomes a customer, buying his
pens and paper and blankbooks here"

More Americans in Navy.

The enlisted force of the navy is
coming more and more largely from
the great body of native-born Ameri-
can citizens. Last year the proportion
of natives had risen to more than 80
per cent. In 1890 1t was about so per
cent. 1t is thought that the current
fiscal year will see an advance to 50
per cent. The Army and Navy Journal
notes the suggestive fact that most of
the naval recruits nowadays come from
the inland states, a naval officer men
tioning with special commentator the
recruits obtained from the farms of
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas.

CENSOR KILLED RARE WORK
Russian Circumlocution Department
Sends Approval of Epoch-Mak-
ing Book to Funeral of Arthur.

Vassali Ya%ruishkin, a brilliant grad
uate of Moscow university, has just died
there in poverty at the age Of so.
Twenty-three years ago Yaruishkin
wrote a work on physiology. embodying
a number of remarkable discoveries ne
had made. HIS scientific friends pro-
nounced it experimenting. The manu-
script went to the censor in 1883. It
never came back. Again and again the
author applied for permission to print,
and for the return of his manuscript.
He accumulated a drawerful of formal
replies, saying that the matter would
receive attention. Soured and Gisap-
pointed. M. Yaruishkin never undertook
other work. and a few weeks ago he
died. On the morning of the funeral
a packet of manuscript arrived at the
house where he died, with the stereo-
typed approval of the censor expressed
in a formal note.

GERM PHOTOS THE LATES'I
Art of Taking Pictures OF Microbes
Is Simpler Than Might Be
Supposed.

The latest accomplishment oil
science is the photographing of Twins
disease germs. Given the complicated
machinery and processes required 10
get the negative films for any set OF
life-motion pictures, the method Of Sc
curing the films for germ life is sim
pier than might be supposed. The liv-
ing germs to be pictured are put on a
lantern slide in blood or water or
other suitable medium and projected
on a screen, just as they might be by
a physician giving a lecture and show
ing to the class the actual live germs
and their habits. Alongside of the
lantern is placed the machine for get
ting the negative films of the life-mo-
ton pictures, and it is operated-tak-
ing pictures of the projection on the
screen at the rate of about 30 a sec
ond-as by the ordinary method. The
lantern, as usually operated, magnifies
the germ and whatever else the slide
contains about 10000 600 times. The
negative film machine magnifes the
image on the Screen about three times,
the resulting total magnificaticn be-
ing 10000 Once the film strip is
obtained in this way it may be used
in the ordinary life-motion picture
machine again and again. Magnifed to
the extent named the germs of dis
eases which have been isolated and
identified are readily observable. They
are seen being born, moving about,
growing. giving birth to other germs,
and dying, just as they do in real life
The machine nay be run fast or slow.
or stopped at any picture, or it may
be set back for a close or more de-
tailed study Of something which has
already been observed.

MYSTIC WREATH EXPLAINED
Tribute to Queen Victoria at Her
Death Was Sent by Much
Admired Singer.

AT the time of Queen Victoria's fu-
neral there was much comment in the
newspapers about a mysterious wreath
laid upon the coffin. 1t was one of the
finest there, but bore only the words.
20, Rest in the Lord" No name was
attached, and there was a great deal of
speculation as to who had sent it. 1t
has now been revealed that the wreath
was placed there by Queen Alexandra
on behalf of Miss Ada Crossley, the IA
nous Australian contralto. She was
often Commanded" to Windsor castle
by Queen Victoria. who greatly admired
her singing. Once she happened to
choose her majesty's favorite song. 20.
Rest in the Lordl" The queen wept
bitterly and explained that she could
v hear that song without thinking
If her dead husband, the prince consort,
who also had loved 1t dearly. This was
the reason why Miss Crossley sent the
wreath.

NO USE FOR FIRST HEARsE
Vermont Family Never Needed It So
Refused Another Subscrip-
ton for New One.

In the old days in Vermont many of
the towns were without facilities for car
rying their dead from their earthly hab-
itations to the burying ground, says Lip
p~incott's. Therefore the good people
went from house to house soliciting con-
tributions for the purchase of a town
hearse. 1t was a difficult matter to raise
the necessary $40 or $50, but in the town
of r. it was finally accomplished. At
each recurring funeral different farmers
loaned horses to draw the hearse. In
the course of time the old hearse came
to the end of its labors, even as those
whom 1t had carried to the little bury
ing ground had come to the end of their
labors. The subscription committee
made a second of the town and
visited an old farmer who had con-
tributed toward the first hearse and
laid before him the necessity Of a second
hearse. Old Graybeard regarded them
narrowly and then said, with determin-
alton: me and my family amt never
had no use of t'other hearse, and l don't
calcerlate ter pay out 4 dern cent -rc-c."

Aluminium in SPINNING Mills.

One of the disadvantages of wooden
bcbbins in spinning and weaving mills
is the irregularity in their revolution
during damp weather, when the wood is
swollen with moisture, which results III
frequent breaking of the threads. Re-
Gently, in some European mills, alumni
nun bobbins have been substituted for
the wooden ones, with many advan-
lagos. The metal not only is not af-
fented by changes of humidity, but is
lighter than the wood formerly en-
ployed in making bobbins, and this re-
suits in a swifter movement of the ma
chinery without increase of motive

CANNON BALL
 TRAIN WRECKED.
Engineer and Fireman Escape By Jumping Before Train Crashed Into String of
 Box Cars.

1 Malvern, Jan. 20. The Iron Mountain cannon ball train, No. Is, due here shortly before z o'clock, collided with a string of box cars in the yards here this evening and was partially wrecked. Several of the box cars were splintered and the en- zine of the passenger train was badly damaged.
 An engine to draw the cannon ball during the remainder of it's journey to St. Louis was secured from Little Rock, as was a wrecker, and the train was sent on it's way after delay of sev- eral hours.
 No one was seriously hurt by the wreck, although several were slightly bruised, and an employe of the dining car on the passen- ger train was cut in the forehead.
 The collision occurred a few hundred feet from the depot and was caused by a misplaced switch. It seems that some one had opened the switch after the arrival of the Fl Dorado train. There was no light on the switch stand and the engineer did not know of the misplaced switch un- til his engine had turned from the main line into a siding. See ing that collision with a string of box cars was unavoidable, the engineer and fireman jumped and escaped without injury.

PULLEY PROBABLY
 MURDERED ON TRAIN.
Further Facts About Finding of Dead Body Near Tuckerman
 Coroner Refuses to
 Give Up Remains.

The body of George A. Pulley, foreman of an extra gang on the Iron Mountain, who was employ ed on the White River extension and in Northern Louisiana, is being held by Coroner Harrison at Tuckerman pending a more complete examination of the case, the signs of which point to mur- der.
 A representative of the Reubel undertaking establishment came up Wednesday from Little Rock to secure the body, but this was refused by Coroner Harrison, who insisted that an order from the dead mans relatives must accompany the request.
 The body was found Tuesday morning between 6 and 7o'clock, as stated in Wednesdays Inde- pendent. A small suit case, which had been opened and the contents scattered, lay near the body. Also an empty pocket book, watch and large Colt re- volver, that had been pulled from the scabbard.
 Pulley is thought to have been 9decoyed into the vestibule be- tween the coaches shortly after No.'4 left Newport and there murdered for his money, as he had just cashed a check for S150, of which only $6 was found upon his person. Two deep gashes were found in his head as if from blows received and one arm was also badly bruised. The po- sition in which his body was found is said to preclude the idea { } the injuries having been re- ,eived in falling from the train.
 The deceased has brother living near Prescott and a sister and only child, Bryant Pulley, 5 years of age, at Beauxite, Ark. On his person was found an in- surance policy for $2,000 in the Penn Mutual of Philadelphia, payable to the little boy.
