FOR A TWiTcHlNG HAND.

It Is Said That the GrappIe Swing Will
Cure the Trouble.
Hand trembling, an affection akin to
writers cramp," is apt to result from
the long continued exercise of certain
muscles and the neglest of others.
The worst feature of the trouble, &C.
cording to Health-C Culture, is its trick
of coming on at the very time when
steadiness OF hand would be most de-
sirable. The twitch of a map-finish-
er's muscles may throw national
frontier 100 miles out of treaty lines;
type words may get glued together like
the nouns of the Volapuk craze.
Hot baths afford only temporary re-
lief; drugs might as well be prescribed
to sufferer; but there is one never
failing mechanical specific-the Crap
pie swing cure.
. Procure a couple of iron rings-say,
five inches in diameter-and fasten
them high enough to keep an expert
menter's feet on the ground when he
attempts to bangle by one hand for a
second or two. Practice will rise his
score to half a minute, and by that
time the tremors will have vanished
for the next half year.

WONDERS OF THES$ WIRELESS

seundless whispers Soon 10 Reach the
b IS I. Ends Of the Earth. ! Ut II !:
All the far-dung islands Of the Pa;
cifc will shortly be bound together
with the Invisible chains of wireless
telegraphy. From tall towers, already
standing on the top of a California
mountain, an electric current Of un.
precedented voltage will fash signals
which may be heard not only in Ha-
vail and far-off Samoa. but even on
the eastern shores Of Japan and the
Philippines; while, at the same time,
ships moving like atoms across the
face of the waters, Aay keep in con-
slant touch with land.
Rising 800 feet into the air, the two
great towers have just been placed in
position on the very crest of Mount
Tamalpais, in Marin county, CAL, about
twelve miles on an air line north of
San Francisco. These two gigantic
towers were constructed and hoisted
into position by the Pacific Wireless
Telegraph company, and are to be used
in connection with it's great Oriental
and Pacific coast system. g..
The bases of the towers are $500
feet above sea level, and are only a
few miles from the ocean. From the
long line of glittering breakers, the
apexes of the towers rise 1900 feet;
and they can be distinctly seen for a
radius of fifteen miles in clear wealth
er. Perhaps there are no taller wire
less towers in the world, and certainly
none occupying so lofty position
above sea level.
The current which will be used will
have the enormous potential of 5,000,-
900 volts and will throw a spark f1f-
teen feet long.

Snake in Railway Carriage

An exciting encounter with a snake
IN a railway carriage is reported by
some passengers who travelled from
Birmingham to Leicester on Saturday
morning.
Shortly after the train left Birming-
ham a snake about two feet long az
peared from under the seat. There
were two men and two women in the
carriage. The men attacked the rep
tile with sticks. while the women
stood on the seats.
After about ten minutes they sue
ceeded in stunning it. Then they
opened the carriage door and threw it
out on the line.

Zone morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum.

what my husband would say-he was
fond of coffee.
'But took coffee right off the

several divisions into which the prod
ucts of the forest enter, partly for, the
reason that the making of shingles, es-
pecially in the eastern part OF the
country, is usually carried on in con-
nection with the ordinary sawmill. q. In
fact, the making of shingles is classed
as a part Of the sawmill industry, but
in the States which produce the great
err proportion of the shingles, one finds
very large plants devoted to Single
making entirely.
As everyone knows, hemlock, cypress
and white pine are used extensively
for roofing purposes. Cedar, however,
is employed to such an extent that over
half of the shingles annually cut in the
United States are of this wood, the
! output of white pine shingles repre-
senting about $3,50O.OOO in value and
the cypress $3,OOO,000. nearly all Of the
remainder being contributed by hem
lock, which is used widely in the East.
As cedar forms such large proportion
of the forest growth of Oregon and
Washington, we find in these States
the majority of the mills devoted en-
tirely to making shingles. They secure
the raw material usually in the form of
''bolts''-logs which have been cut to
the exact length of the shingles de-
sired, so that it is only necessary to
split the bolt into the requisite thick
nesses and finish the sections for COM
mercial purposes. AS a rule, the mills
are located in the vicinity Of woodland
which has been stripped Of the first
growth.
AS is we'll known, the custom pre-
walls in the Northwest in cutting large
trees of making the necessary incision
the ground, as the telling can be done
with more safety and less difficulty.
Consequently, single stump Of tree
five or six feet in diameter will cut
into surprisingly large number of
shingles if it is sound in the heart.
The bolts are made with cross-cut saws
operated by hand, or portable saws
driven by engines mounted on trucks
belted to mechanism especially de-
signed for this class of work. AS the
lengths into which the stumps or
trunks are cut make them Of a size
which can be readily handled, the use
of tramway or skidway is unneces-
sary, and frequently advantage is
taken of some wa tercourse to construct
a fume Of suitable dimensions. This
consists merely of conduit Of planks
supported at various distances from
the surface according to the grades to
be overcome. The water may be Sc
cured from a spring or creek on the
hillside, although at times it is divert
ed from larger stream by damming
the latter, the fall of water in the
flume being sufficient to carry the
bolts to the mill.
Some of the fumes in Washington
are ten and twelve miles in length.
AS fast as the timber is removed they
are extended through the tracts where
the bolt cutters are operating, since it
is only necessary to place the bolts in
the flume and thus transport them d.
rectly to the mill pond. The cost of
building the fume is so small, that
this novel method of transportation is
generally the most economical by far.
But small amount of water is re-
quired, as the cedar is so light that it
will float in very shallow depth. At
the mill end Of the conduit it enters a

Alum Baking Powder 10 Wholesome.
DR.. Herman Reinbold, the expert

report concerning Baking Powders,
declares that pure alum baking pow
der is better and less Injurious than
the so-called cream of tartar powders.
He says that If the quantity of alum
contained in sufficient quantity OF
baking powder for batch of bread or
cakes for an ordinary family, be CON
centrated to one mouthful of food.
and taken into the stomach of any
one person, no matter how delicate,
it could do no harm. On the contrary,
alum is wholesome in proper quanti'
ties. This is undoubtedly the reason

powders. So much for Alum Baking
