A "Human SkyScraper."

A Denver (Col.) correspondent of
the New York Herald says:
Sevea feet tall, "a years old and
still growing! This is the striking
condition of John S. Porteous, of Pa
ducah, KY, who has come here for
his health.
I'm Kentucky they call me the HUI
man skyscnper," he said. He towers
so high above the rest of humanity
that the appellation is we'll applied.
He carried off the prize for the tall
est and thinnest man in the Elks' pa
rade during the convention, the next
highest man" being half an inch
shorter. The award was $50, and the
equivalent, a handsome watch and fob,
was given Porteous.
He has been living in the West for
a year, and most of the time was spent
in Wyoming.
His rapid growth and the occupation
he followed proved to be a combina-
ton that worked injury to his health,
and he is now trying to recuperate
from an attack of lung trouble.
Porteous is an expert granite and
marble cutter, and he ascribes the
breathing of the dangerous dust at
the time he was growing so rapidly
as the cause of his lung affection.
His father and mother are ordi-
nary sized persons and his father can
stand under his arm with hat on
His fathers relatives in Scotland are
all tall and few of them are under
six feet.
Porteous, despite his great height,
is not ont OF proportion.

fairly treated and were saved from

they are exposed at the hands of their
rapacious keepers.
When a prisoner first goes into the
wards the wardens claim his clothes
and his money and he is left with
the barest rags to cover his nakedness.
He is robbed of all his cash, as a
matter of course. Those who are
condemned are compelled, under a
threat of the whip, to write begging
letters TO their relatives, requesting
them to forward money,

prisoners-for it appears that inmates
of more than 20 years residence have
accorded them certain privileges
take the man in hand during the
night. The hands of the prisoner are
fastened by a rope and the other end
of the rope is then passed through
ring which hangs from the roof of
the ward.
The warders then hoist the unhap-

midair by the hands. Should he at

are filled with ashes. When the
breath has almost left his body and
he is choking, he is lowered, and UNI

ture he is eager to promise almost

WEIGHT OF THE SOUL
Is Shown by Test Trials Made with
the COrpSeS of Different
Persons.

/ New York, March 15.-Dr. Duncan
McDougall, of Iavelhill, Mass, who is
at the head of a research society,
and has had four other physicians as
sociated with him in a series of ex-
| periments covering six years, believes
that the human soul has a definite
weight which can be determined when
it passes from the body at death, ac-
cording to Boston dispatch.
DIR. McDougall began by seeking If
the departure of the soul from the
lady is attended by any manifesto
lions capable of being recorded by
any physical means. The method fl
nally resorted to was to place dying
patient in bed upon one of the plat
forms of pair of very delicate scales
made expressly for the experiments,
and then to balance this weight with
an equal weight on the opposite plat
form.
The scales were sensitive to a
weight of less than a tenth of an
ounce. In every case after death the
platform opposite the one in which lay
the body of the subject of the test, fell
suddenly, DR.. OMcDougall says, and the
figures on the dial index indicated a
diminution in weight.
The first experiment was with a
man dying of tuberculosis. He expired
watched by five physicians. The in
slant life ceased, the opposite scale
pan fell with startling suddenness.
Immediately all the usual deductions
were made for physical losses of
weight and 1t was discovered that
there was yet a full ounce unaccount-
ed for.
The next subject was also a victim
of tuberculosis, and practically the
same phenomena occurred. Each of
the five physicians made his own
computation, and those separate COM
putations were compared afterward at
consultation. They all showed an
unaccountable loss in weight compar-
ing the patients corpse with his body
when he was alive. Four other cases
were carefully observed and in each
it was established that a weight of
from one-half to a full ounce departed
from the body at the moment of dis
solution.

Hilary X. Adair, the well-known de-

The arrest had been mysteriously
achieved, and Mr.. Adair was asked. to
explain it. This, though, he refused
to do.
There are so many ways of catch
ing criminals" he said, laughing. You
know what the old man told his wife?
She said first to him:
Don't talk, John. You can't say
| ever ran after you.
True, the old man assented. And
you can't say the trap ever runs after
the mouse, either, but it gathers him

What Do They Cure?

The above question is often asked con-
perning DIR. Pierce's two leading medl.
zines, eGolden Medical Discovery" and
sFavorite Prescription"
The answer Is that "GOlden Medical

ing tonic and nervine. For weak worn
out, over-worked women-no matter what
has caused the breakdown, "FavOrite
Prescription " will be found most effective
in building up the strength, regulating
the womanly functions, subduing pain
and bringing about a healthy, vigorous
condition OF the whole system.
A book OF particulars wraps each bottle
giving the formule OF both medicines and
quoting what scores Of eminent med
zeal authors, whose works are consulted
by physicians OF all the schools OF practice
as guides in prescribing, say OF each in
gredient entering into these medicines.
The words of praise bestowed on the
several ingredients entering into Doctor
Pierce's med cines by such writer's should
have moro weight than any amount OF
non professional testimonials, because
such men are writing for the guidance OF
their medical brethren and know whereof
they speak.
Both medicines are non-alcoholic, nom
secret, and contain no harmful habit

extracts of the roots OF native, American
medicinal forest plants. They are both

Pays Alimony in Pennies.

AS a rule nobody will refuse any
kind OF good money In payment of a
debt, though there are some kinds
more convenient than others. PEN
MES are legal tender, but it would
take a quart of them to pay bill of
any considerable size. 1t sometimes
happens that just to be disobliging
and to cause the creditor inconven-
fence, the debtor pays in pennies.
Such a case happened in Flatbush,
l.. l., the other day, where husband
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1907-03-20

had been directed by the Court to
pay 81 week for the support of his
wife and to pay it to the Clerk of the
Court. In order to make both as much
trouble as possible he brought in the
81 in pennies and they were accepted,
though as a matter of fact pennies
are not legal tender to that amount.
The minor coins of the United States
are determined by statute to be "a
five-cent piece \ United States
statute says: 1.-The minor coins of
the United States shall be of legal ten
der at their nominal value for any
amount not exceeding % cents in any
one payment"
The creditor can take them by the
carload if he wishes, but refusing to
take them in sums over 20 cents at
4 time will not enable the creditor to
set up the claim of a tender, nor will
IL invalidate the creditors right to col
lect These tactics are seldom re-
sorted to and only to create inconven-
fence. The United States statutes
are not much studied by laymen, and
so this point is not generally under
stood. OF the minor coins only the
five-cent piece, or nicllle, as 1t is COM
monty called, and the penny, are in
any considerable circulation The
three-cent piece has gone out of use, is
seldom seen and is not much missed.
1t has gone the way of the two-cent
piece aSd the copper penny.
