The Hide of the Garfish.

The garfish, an American fresh water
fish with long toothed jaws like those
of a crocodile, has a skin that can be
polished smooth until it has finish
like ivory. 1t makes beautiful jewel
caskets and picture frames. This skin
used to be converted into armor by
some tribes of American savages, and
the hide is so tough and hard that it
makes a breastplate that can turn
knife or spear. Some Of the finer speci-
mems that have been found are hard
enough to turn even a blow from
tomahawk. The savages who wore this
fish armor also used to wear fish he'll
met. 1t was made from the skin Of the
prickly porcupine fish, and, besides pro-
tecting the wearers head, it was used
as a weapon Of offense. The warriors
butted their enemies with it, and, as it
had hundreds of ironlike spikes, the
operation was especially painful to the
object Of attack.

When PaHanini Was Generous.

It was generally supposed during his
lifetime that Paganini had more re-
gard for bank notes than for musical
notes-that, in fact, he was heartless,
selfish miser. It is true that, as a rule,
he was very chary with his money Che
died worth $5OO,OOO, but that he was
also occasionally generous is amply
proved by several incidents In his ca
reer. One Of his last concerts was CIV
en- at Turin for the benefit Of the poor.
He gave Berlioz, the great French COM
poser, the large sum of 10000 francs
simply as mark Of admiration for the
latter's "Symphonie Fantastique. But
better than this was the manner Of his
befriending little Italian whom he
found playing on the streets Of Vienna.
The boy confided to him that he sup
ported his sick mother by his playing
and that he had come from the other
side of the Alps. Paganini was touch
ed at once. He literally emptied his
pockets into the lads hand and, taking
his poor instrument from him, began
1.-The most grotesQue and extraordinary
performance possible" Presently there
was quite q crowd around the curious
pair, and Paganini, concluding his solo,
went around with the hat. A splendid
collection was the result, and after
handing this to the boy Paganini walk
ed off with his companion, remarking,
Il hope / have done a good turn to the
little animal"

Cure For Nervousness.

The man or woman suffering from
nervousness should seek the compan-
ionship Of healthy persons free from
nervousness. The meals ought to be
eaten very slowly. All ordinary hygi-
enic rules are to be obeyed. Will exer-
cises are good. The nervous person
must, to use figure Of speech, spring
out Of the warm, nervous bed and
plunge into the cold bath Of effort. The
thing he breads doing is the very one
he should do, says Woman's Life.
One excellent plan for nervous men
and women is to attend good theater
and watch the demeanor Of some self
possessed actor or actress. Let them
study that demeanor and try to imi-
tate It, It will be something for them
to do when attacked by nervous
squat. It will be found better than
buttoning or unbuttoning gloves or In
dulging in any other OF the purposeless
acts so common to the nervous.

HlCCOUGHS.
How They Are Caused and the Way
They Should Be Treated


How They Are Caused and the Way
They Should Be Treated.
Hiccough is not ordinarily regarded
as a serious affection, yet sometimes
the persistence with which it continues
and resists all sorts of remedies and
devices employed for it's arrest be-
comes a very grave matter, even
threatening life itself. Hiccoughing is
what is called a reflex act-that is, it
is an effect produced in one part of
the body as a result Of irritation ap
piled to the nerves in another part.
The exciting cause is usually an I'M
due stimulation Of the nerves Of the
stomach, resulting from Indigestion or
from the presence of some irritating
substance in the stomach. 1t is some
times an accompaniment of inflamma-
ton Of other organs in the abdomen OF
of peritonitis, and then it is exceed
ingly distressing and often most OBJ
stinately resistant to treatment
The equity are prone to have bic
cough after the slightest indiscretion
in diet. The same is true Of those suf
fering from diabetes, and often the
subjects Of chronic malaria are SINH
larly afflicted. Sometimes hiccoughing
is purely nervous act, one Of the
manifestations Of instability Of the
nervous system, and is associated with
the laughing and crying of a hyster
ical attack
It is generally a very easy matter to
stop the hiccoughs if they do not cease
spontaneously. AS it is a reflex act,
anything that makes strong impress
sion on the nervous system or distracts
the mind temporarily will often put an
end to the attack. Children recognize
this when they shrek at a playmate
and scare the hiccoughs away, and
adults show the value Of cOncentrat
ing the attention on some other sub
ject when they subdue the hiccough by
seeing how near they can bring the
tips Of the little fingers together with
out allowing them to touch.
In very severe cases these simple de-
vices will not avail, and then if there
is some offending substance in the
stomach it must be got rid Of by an
emetic. Drinking glass or two of hot
water may act well if acid dyspepsia
is at the bottom of the trouble. A lump
Of ice placed over the pit of the stom-
ach or the alternate application of an
ice bag and a hot water bag to the
same place is an effective measure in
many obstinate cases. Another useful
expedient is to breathe deeply and very
rapidly.
In very intractable cases it may be
necessary to put the sufferer under the
influence Of ether or chloroform or to
prescribe powerful opiates or other
ion,

BRANDS ARTICLE FIENDIsH.
Ohio Clergyman Comes Out as Champ
ion of John D. Rockefeller.

CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 16.-Rev.
Charles w. Blodgett, pastor of ST.
Paurs NJ. E. church is out as champ
ion Of John D. Rockefeller in a state
ment as follows:
The recent article by Miss Ida Tar
bell, in McClures magazine, stamps
the writer as heartless and almost
vicious.
Miss Tarbell mas by that article
smirched what might have otherwise
been a brilliant literary career. She
had to drag in ghosts of family history
It was objectionable. 1t was fiendish.
Rev. Washington GLADDEN., a social
reformer of Columbus, whose reforms
have never materialized, is equally as
vicious against Mr.. Rockefeller. The
public at large has come to look at
Mr.. GLADDEN. as a sort of ecclesiastical
high gicker. His words have but lit
sins? Why are so many people
damning him?
''Analyze MIN and his life and here
is the picture. He was born poor He
never had any rich friends or inf1uen-
tial politicians to help him. He has
made success of himself from the
standpoint of morals. We only wish it
were possible by personal acquaint-
ance with Mr.. Rockefeller to answer
such a villianous article at Miss Tar
bells. We say this without any Of our
friends charging us in the statement
of a desire to truckle to rich men,"

Keystone Democrats in Convention.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 16.-The
democratic state convention met here
in adjourned session in the Lyceun
theatre at noon, for the purpose OF
nominating a candidate for the SUI
preme court. Chairman J. X. P. Hal
called the convention to order and eX-
planned the object of the meeting. At
ter the usual committees had been APP
pointed the convention took a recess
There is a strong sentiment in favor
of endorsing John Stewart, the repub-
iican nominee for the supreme court
to follow the fusion With the independ-
ent republicans of the state in favor of
William Fl. Berry, on the democratic
ticket for state treasurer. An effort
was made to induce the democratic
state central committee to endorse
Stewart but Chairman Hall ruled out
the proposition. AS there is no other
candidate of Importance in the field
the candidacy of Stewart will prob
ably be endorsed by the convention.

smaller than last year, despite the
severe weather at the start. Lit
lie idle machinery is noticed in the
iron and steel industry, textile mills
are increasingly active, and New
England shoe shops are shipping
more freely than Il year ago. Agri-
cultural communities have prCspered,
cash prices Of all farm products
maintaining profitable positions, but
the speculative markets are erratic.
Foreign commerce at New York for

declines have occurred in hides the
market is well maintained, consider

poor at this season.

CHURCH WAS DEATH TRAP
Floor Collapsed During Funeral
Services, Killing II Nesoes.
OTHERS ARE EXPECTED TO DIE
Pastor and People Were Awaiting
the Coming of the Corpse When
Crash Came.

Eleven persons were killed and up
ward of 30 injured some probably
fatally, by the collapse of the floor
ing of the Fleet Street African Meth
odist Episcopal church in Brooklyn.
OF those killed, eight were women,
two men and one child.
The building was ramshackle
frame structure erected 60 years
ago in the heart of the colored sec
tion of Brooklyn. Arrangements had
been made to hold funeral services
over the remains of Sidney Painter,
one of the older members of the
church The auditorium, which is
on the second floor of the building,
held an audience of 300 persons, of
whom the majority We're women
The congregation was waiting in
silence for the arrival of the body,
and Pastor Jacobs was standing at
the altar awaiting the summons TO
meet the funeral procession at the
door, wen a sharp cracking Of limb
ers was heard In an instant the half
of the auditorium nearest the door
collapsed, carrying down more than
100 persons, who were crushed in the
wreckage of the flooring and pews,
A great volume of dust for a few
moments hid from view the victims.
The remainder of the audience,
finding themselves cut off from the
door and expecting every instant the
rest Of the flooring would collapse,
fought madly to reach the windows,
and in some instances leaped from
them and sustained serious injur-
les.
After examining the bodies, coro-
ner Flaherty pronounced death in
nearly every case to have resulted
from suffocation, caused by the vic
tins being piled on top of each other
in mass several feet deep. The
coroner said that the church was
condemned as unsafe several years
ago, and that he intended to prose-
cute thorough inquiry to fix the re-
sponsibility for the disaster.
