''sfessages and Papers of the confed'
 erncy."

"Messe8es anu Fhpers oh t"S SS"1e"~ erncy."
 There is no man better known to the Tennessee public than James D. Rtch- ardson, former Congressman from the Fifth Tena ssee District. and his posi- tioa as Democratic leader on the noor of the National House of Representa- tiyes made him B familiar figure
 throughout the country. Some years ago Mir. Richardson compiled the semi official work known as Messages and
 Documents of the President" which. because of the data it contained and the excellent manner of the coDpiia- tion, was a valuable addition to United States history, He has now produced another book of similar character, which, though less voluminous, will be of equal value with his former work
 and in some res pects of more pointed | interest, as 1t covers an acute period in the history of the nation eoneerntng which historical accuracy is very As- sentiai
 MT. Richardson's latest production is
 Messages and Papers Of the Confed- eraey.' The title suggests the scope of the work. It is the compilation in
 printed form of all the official papers | of the Confederate Government which | fell into the hands of the Federal au- | thorities after the Southern armies had evacuated Richmond. Comment is un- necessary to suggest the historical value ,f such a work and It's great useful ness to those who have not the means. | leisure or inclination to search through | files of musty papers in the archives
 at Washington.
 The work includes the Constitution of the Confederate States and the re- corded proceedings of the provisional
 Congress at Mon tgomery. as well as the messages of the President and ether official papers throughout the life of 1 the Confederate Government
 A very important feature Is the dip- l lcnatic correspondence, which shows. among other things. the efforts made | by the Confederate Government to ob-
 tain recognition from the European ma. tions.
 The book is complete in two volumes
 of convenient library size and band somely bound in red cloth, with gilt lettering. Each volume Is embeiiished with four illustrations. The first pre- sents the Confederate Capitol at Mont gomery as a frontispiece and has por-
 traits of Jefferson Davis. Alexander H. Stephens and Robert E. Lee. The sec- ond has the Capitol at Richmond, with
 portraits of Robert Toombs. M. T, Hun ter and Judah P. Benjamin. Short bio- graphical sketches accompany each of
 the portraits.
 In the regular analytical index which appears in the compilation, numerous
 encyclopedia articles bearing upon the icaI facts are inserted. There are also included in this feature of EAe compil- atton accurate accounts of all the lead ing battles of the war In which the ar mics of the North and South were en- gagged adv.

Bride of His Youth.

Western Man Marries UnwittingIy
Bride of His Youth.
Welded a second time without rec
ognizing his bride as the wife of his
youth from whom he had been sepa-
rated was the singular fate of James
Hurlbutt, western mining expert.
Ruth Emery, an orphan governess,
was IS when James Hurlbutt first met
and married her in Quebec. After a
brief honeymoon he set out alone to
seek his fortune in the western
States, leaving his wife with her
former employer, on the understand
ing that she remained there until he
was able to send for her. A mfsun-
Outstanding arose. Correspondence
ceased. Two months later she wrote
asking him to forgive her. But this
letter never reached him.
A few years later Mrs. Hurlbutt ap-
piled for a divorce, which was grant
ed on the ground Of desertion. Suisse
quently she married. Two years later
this husband died in New Mexico.
She was left fortune, which includ-
ed mines in Montana. At a hotel in
Butte she saw a man whose face
seemed strangely familiar 1t was
that of a middle-aged man with iron
gray hair and beard. She learned
that he was James Hurlbutt, her first
husband. They met daily in the hotel,
but he did not recognize her and she

disclosure.
Finally she wished to get an ex-
pert's report on her mining property.
She was referred to Mr.. Hurlbutt as
a competent man for the work. They
were introduced. He agreed to ex-
anime the property and seemed per-
sonally attracted to her. Gradually
she grew to hope that she might make
him love her for her sake rather than
for the sake of the girl wife he had
left behind him years before. They
soon became fast friends. He asked
her no questions about her past life:
she told him only so many as she
thought it we'll for him to know.
He never once suspected who she
was. At length be proposed and was
accepted. They went together and
were married by a justice of the
peace. Only themselves know what
was said when, Immediately after
their second marriage, she revealed to
him the secret which he had never
suspected.

Mrs. Sarah E. Rowe, who is residing

taken Dodd's Kidney Pills, that we'll

into old bodies, and has come as a
God-send into homes of sorrow and
suffering. She says:

I suffered with Rheumatism and Kid
ney Trouble, until 1 got cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills. This grand
remedy drove the Rheumatism out of
my body, nothing else ever did me
any good. Dodds Kidney Pills are
worth one hundred times their price,
for they have made me, though l am

been for many years and l owe it all

tedious and requiring considera BILE
time and labor. The use of the de-
vice shown here would obviously save
much of his labor. The clamp which
holds the felt is made Of metal. the
front and rear being plates exactly
alike. The upper edges of the plates
are bent inward to give additional
stiffness, and the lower edges also bent
inward and formed with toothed pro-
jections. The plates constitute a jaw
for folding and engaging the layers of
felt. The two plates are connected at
points above the center by a hori-
zontal plate, the latter serving as a
head and guide for the felt which can
be pushed up against it and be re-
tanned in a horizontal position. The
upper portions Of the plates are held
apart by pair of stiff springs which
surrounds two bolts connecting the
plates. To release the felt the upper
edges Of the plates are pressed TO-
ward each other against the power of
the springs. A handle attached to
the rear plate serves as a mode Of op-
Grafton. In use the felt is saturated
with oil and applied to the floor very
much like q mop.

Held MiI1xmaid Captive by the
Ankle and Drank the Milk.
Miss Marie Czerney, daughter of
prominent residents of Bon Homme
County, S. D., had a thrilling adven-
ture with a monster snake, as the
result of which she narrowly escaped
death by blood poison, by stepping on
rusty nail while striving to escape
from the snake, says the ST. Paul
Dispatch.
The young woman, with a pail in
her hand, went to her favorite Jersey
for the purpose Of doing her evening
milking. During the day the animal
had been picketed in a tame grass
plot, and at the time of milking still
bore the picket line. The Jersey ap-
peared to be greatly annoyed by flies
and mosquitoes and changed it's posi-
ton number Of times.
AS the cow changed position Miss
Czerney would follow it up, and during
this operation her ankle became en-
tangled as she supposed in the picket
rope. The cow seemed to grow quieter
and after milking steadily for several
minutes Miss Czerney became concern
ed at the small amount of milk in the
pail.
Fearing that the pail had sprung a
leak she looked full into it and at
tempted to raise it. when she was

cock the attachment regulates the flow
Of gas and as long as the gas is burn
ing remains in that position, but
should there be any carelessness in
turning off the gas the attachment
does so automatically. Whether the
gas is purposely eXtinguished or ex-
tinguished by accident, due to a high
wind or when blown out by an ignor-
ant person, the attachment acts by
gravity to close the plug. The at
tachment is piyoted to one end of the
stopcock. and consists of an arm
which extends parallel with the burn
er, and controlled by a lever. At the
top Of the arm is the portion which
engages with the burner being made
IN the shape of ring connected to
two horizontal bands. When the gas
Is turned off and the attachment in its
normal position it is at right angles to
the burner. When the lever is oper-
ated to turn on the gas the attach
ment closes up until the top engages
with the tip of the burner. AS long
as the gas is burning the ring and bar
at the top are caused to expand but
should the gas become extinguished
by a gust of wind or otherwise the
band Immediately contracts and as
sumes a position which forces the at
tachment by it's own weight and gray
ity to quickly fall to it's normal posi-
ton and shut off the gas.

A CURIOUS EXPERIMENT.
Test Made by Man Who Desired to
"PrOject HIMSELF Upon Friend.

"PrOject Himself" Upon Friend.
H. Addington Bruce describes the
attempt of an English clergyman
named Clarence Godfrey to project
himself" into the presence Of a friend
at distance. The attempt was made
on the night of Nov. 10, 1886, and is
thus described by Mr. Bruce, says Pub
lie Opinion:
1.-THE result Of his attempt as de-
scribed in the account written out at
his request by the 'percipient,' who, it
should perhaps be added, had had no
intimation of the experiment, was as
follows:
Yesterday the morning of
Nov. 16, 1886-about $3.50 o'clock, 1
woke up with start and an idea that
some one had come into the room. I
heard curious sound, but fancied it
might be the birds in the ivy outside
Next I experienced a strange, restless
longing to leave the room and go down
stairs. This feeling became so over
towering that at last 1 arose and lit
candle and went down, thinking that
If I could get some soda water it
might have quieting effect. On re-
turning to my room saw Mr.. God
frey standing under the large window
on the staircase. He was dressed in
his usual style and with an expression
on his face that l have noticed when
he has been looking very earnestly at
anything. He stood there and I held
up the candle and gazed at him for
three or four seconds in utter amaze
ment, and, then, as l passed up the
staircase, he disappeared. The impress
sion left on my mind was SO vivid that
I fully intended waking a friend who
occupied the same room as myself, but
remembering that 1 should only be
laughed at as romantic and imaginary
refrained from doing So
Arguing from analogy, it was held
by those advancing the telepathic n.y.
pothesis that the mind of a dying per-
son in reverting to a distant friend
conveyed to the friends mind a dis
tinct impression which took the form
Of vivid visual hallucination. To the
reply that the apparitions were by no
means uniformly coincident with the
moment of death, and not infrequent-
ly occurred only after a lapse Of sew
eral hours, it was deemed sufficient to
point to such cases as that of the Rev.
Mr.. Godfrey as illustrative of similar
deferment Of experimental hallucina-
tons. In the Godfrey case the will
ing begun at 1915 p. m. on the night
of Nov. 10 and lasted only eight min
utes, after which Mr. Godfrey fell
asleep, whereas it was not until 3 80
a. m. of the following morning that
the hallucinatory vision appeared to

An Unfriend1y Feeling.

talking about the late Dr. Bernardo,
whose whole life was devoted to the
helping Of slum children.
"Dr. Barnardo," he said, twas as

verse with him was a rare privilege.
Certain of his ideas were once at

man; youth with many millions and
much enthusiasm, but very little mod

son sitting in the tub can rock it back
and forth, causing the water to swish
over him, and, if he possesses a vivid
imagination, he will think he is at the
seashore taking a salt water bath,
with the waves dashing over him. The
body Of the bathtub is supported upon
rockers by uprights ct the front and
back. Pivoted to the front of the
rockers is an arm which extends to the
top of the body. A pulley is attached
to this arm, through which passes a
rope, the latter being secured to the
body Of the tub, and passing through
a second pulley, connects with a han
die, which is operated by the person
in the tub to rock the machine, caus-
ing the water to flow up into a back
portion above the seat. 1t will be
readily seen that by pushing the han
die the upper part Of the arm will be
pulled forward, raising the front end
Of the tub. The lining of the tub is
arranged somewhat in the form Of the
seat and back of a chair, with a deep
er portion for the feet. A casing ex-
tends around the back and partially
along the sides, at the height Of the
shoulders Of the occupant, when seat
ed. A covering can be placed over this
back portion and be supported upon
rods, the covering having an aperture
for the head, and can be used for TAX
ing Turkish baths. When used for
this purpose box for holding a lamp
is hung in the front end Of the tub.
