A representative of the Harvest King

Iy visited Minter City, and while there
engaged in the ~disgraceful pastime OF
shooting craps with a negro.
Some Of the representative citizens
heard Of his low-down conduct and were

wind Of what the outraged citizens were
fixing to do and boarded a convenient

A CURIOUS PROBLEM.

EhS Trembling Pillar at Refms q

The famous trembling pillar at ReimG

1t goes and returns about seven
inches on each side, although the base
Of the pillar is immovable, and the
stones are 80 firmly cemented that n
seems like solid piece of stone.
An authority who states that nc
satisfactory solution Of this peculiarly
has been gives writes: what is very
singular Is that, although the four bells
are about the same distance from the
trembling pillar, only one Of them has
any effect on it. The others may b

In 1T75 little window was made In
the roof OF the church opposite the oil
lar. A board was placed on top Of the
pillar, and on 1t were put two glasses
or water. Then the bell was rung. I'm.
mediately the pillar began to sway, and
at the fifth stroke OF the bell the two
glasses were thrown of.
The ringing of this bell has no eject

THE GROWTH OF TROUT.
Age, Food and Temperature Seem 10

Have No Bearing ON Size.
The Salvelinus fontinalis, which In
currently but inaccurately called brook
trout. was supposed for many years
TO be a small fish. Agassiz was
largely instrumental In exploding this
fallacy. 1t Is not an uncommon thing
Tor an angler with ordinary luck to
get a six or seven pound trout of this
variety. 1t Is known that a trout NAV
grow to weigh eleven or twelve pounds.
There is. however, great difficulty In
accounting for Its variation In size.
In northeastern Canada there are
large streams and lakes In which only
nngerlings have ever been found. In
the Immediate vicinity Of such waters
mree and four pound trout are quite
common and seven and eight Founders
are not phenomenal. In all these wa
tiers crustacea do not abound; there are
no small fish of any kind except small
trout All the fish are pure fly feeders
AT some places, 1t ls true, frogs abound
Out taken as whole the difference In
tood supply Is not an adequate ex-
PLANTATION for the difference in growth
There is no substantial difference In
the waters as to temperature, size.
origin and course. Climatic conditions
are the same. The small trout taken
TO virgin lakes In which there are no

size, have sometimes remained small
and sometimes have not thriyen. The
anglers who haunt these waters have
not yet found a satisfactory explana-
ton Of this peculiar condition Of things.

fascination to the art you never can
tell what Is going to happen when you
go fishing. st. Paul Dispatch.

FINGER FELONS.
There Are Three Varieties of These
Very Painful Sores.

=
Very Painful sores.
A felon. or whitlow, IS an infiamma-
ton of the hand or finger, usually OF
the last joint of the finger. Its impor-
lance varies with the seat Of it-that is
to say, with the portion of the finger
involved. 1t may affect the skin only,
the tendons or sinews or the tbrous
covering of the bone-the perlosteum.
A superficial whitlow, where the in
fammation Is confined to the skin, may
be extremely painful, but otherwise 1t
Is not very serious matter. But this
cannot be said OF the other two forms.
In the tendinous whitlow pus forms
In the fbrous sheath surrounding the
tendon, and unless the Inflammation
quickly subsidies or the matter is let
out by the surgeons knife the pus
may burrow down through the sheath
into the palm of the hand and result In
a permanent gripping of the member
The third variety-called by ply
sicians the subperiosteal-is that in
which matter forms beneath the mem
brane which covers the bone. AS this
membrane is tough and inelastic the
tension due to the increasing volume
Of matter becomes very great and gives
rise to a throbbing, maddening pain.
The relief afforded by deep cut into
this infamed finger, right down to the
bone, is magical, although the cut
hurts. This is the only. treatment for
this form of felon, ann the incision
should be made early, for IL 1t is too
long delayed the bone will be killed
and a discharging sore will remain
which will later necessitate a surgical
operation even II 1t does not result in
the loss of the last joint of the finger.
The superficial whitlow does not
usually call for such radical treatment
A clay poultice often affords great re-
lief. This may be made by making
paste Of clay previously sterilized by
baking In very hot oven and adding
glycerin to prevent too rapid drying, or
the clay mhy be obtained ready prepar
ed in the drug store. This protects the
finger from injury, keeps 1t cool and, II
applied early enough, may prevent the
formation of matter. When once pus
has formed, however, no matter what
the variety of the felon, the safest plan
Of treatment is to cut into the infiamed
finger and give exit to the confined
matter and relieve the tension OF the
parts.-Youth's Companion.

MANY, MANY DOCTORS.


A Sixteenth Century Wager That
Might Be Won Today.
The story is told in Joubert's "Popu-
lar Errors Concerning Medicine" pub
lished at Bordeaux, France. In 1879,
that one Gonelle, jester at the court
Of the Duke of Ferrara, insisted once
upon a time that the trade which had
the most followers was that Of doctor.
To prove his assertion he left his home
one morning to go to the palace with
his nightcap on and his jaws wrapped
up. The frst person he met stopped
him with the question, What Is the
matter with you, GonelleY "a terrible
toothache." "Oh, Is that ALI I'll tell
you what will cure it." And every per-
son he met had some advice to give
him.
When the jester reached the dukes
chamber, the same question and an
swsr were repeated "Ah," said the
prince, Il know of something that Will
take the pain right away" Gonelle
instantly threw up his kerchief, saying:
and you, too. monseigneur, are doc
tor? l have only passed through one
street in coming From my house to you
and have Counted more than 200 of
them. l believe could find 10000 in
the city" Whether the story is true or
false, 1t could be told again in our
days. and Gonelle would win his wager
without dispute.

LIVING ON AN ACRE.
How 1t Would Help the Nam of Fam
ily and Little Money.


How 1t Would Help the sann of Fam
lily and Little Money.
A family, with a modest house sur
rounded by an acre of good soil, even
where the work has to be performed
by members of the family who are oc-
cupied during the long hours Of the
day at various occupations, will pro-
duce almost everything used in the
family. An acre Of ground thoroughly
well cultivated, with a little chicken
yard as an adjunct, will reduce in a
very material way the expenses of the
family.
OF course acre lots are impossible In
side of the city limits or even very
close to the city limits. The person
seeking so large a lot must go to a
considerable distance from the bust
ness center, but the extension of cleo
tric lines enables even working people
to live at a considerable distance from
their place Of employment. A man
who earns $3.50 to twice that sum a
day and who has family consisting of
a number of children often finds some
difficulty In bringing them up properly
and giving them the kind of an educa-
ten he would wish. Such an invest
ment as this, saving rent of say $50 a
month and yielding eggs and all kinds
of vegetables as wen askonsiderable
of the fruit that goes to make up the
daily ration of each member of the
family, will make his struggle In life
much lighter. A man who has such q
stake In the country will be in every
way a better citizen than the one who
spends his weeks earnings as soon as
they come into his hand, IL not week
before they are earned.
Varied occupation exceeds all other
processes In drawing out whatever OF
ability man possesses. Here lies the
advantage to the community-one SUI
perior 10 all economic gain-of the sub.
urban acre lot for the home of the city
wage Garner. The cultivation of that
acre In alienation with his other EN-.
ployment will bring him intellectual
and spiritual enlargement, while II
gives him healthier body and whole
some surroundings In which to bring
mp his famiiy.-Maxwelps Talisman.
