the first time since the war that a
southern man has been nominated fol

he is an honest and an affable man.
However, Mr. Wilson was born and
reared in rebellion surroundings. He
was born and reared on the wrong

reared in the confederacy, SO to speak
whose people fought on the confeder

FOR DIsINFEcTIoN OF BOOKS
Apparatus Devised by a Frenchman
Removes Danger of Contagion and
Doesn't Damage Paper.

The danger from contagion from
books that have been in the hands of
persons suffering from various dis
eases has led to the invention of va
rious methods of distinction, Of
which none appears to be more effec-
tive than an apparatus devised by
Marsoulan of Paris.
His process embraces two parts.
In the first place, the books are
placed in a 'beater" where strong
current of air opens every leaf and
an aspirator sucks out the dust and
deposits 1t in aseptic water; then
they are suspended in a disinfector,
the covers being bent back and held
by clips so that the leaves are widely
opened and placed over heater
which for a time subjects them to a
temperature of 167 degrees Fahren-
heit. The paper is not damaged, and
the efficiency OF the process is said
to have been demonstrated beyond
question.-Harper's Weekly.

QUEER THINGS ABOUT PAIN
Patient May Feel II in Limb That Has
Been Amputated, or In
Wrong Place.

Pain sometimes behaves in a curl.
GUS fashion. There was soldier in
London, after the Boer war, who COM
planned of excruciating neuralgia pains
in his right foot This very much
amused his friends, for he had lost his
right leg.
The explanation was that the pain
happened to be in the trunks of those
nerves, which had sent branches to
the foot.
Sometimes a patient comes to a
doctor complaining of pain in the
knee, and he is greatly surprised when
the doctor tells him that the site of
the affection is not the knee, but the
hip. We are all familiar with the
pain under the shoulder blade which
comes from an afflicted liver.
The stomach, too, can produce pain
in many parts of the body. A dlsor-
dered stomach Will give US pain as
far away as the head, and. when one
gets cramp in his toe, it is often due
to acidity of the stomach. Swallow a
pinch of soda and the cramp will dis
appear.
An aching tooth will produce neural
gic pains in the face, and very otter
violent pain at the back of the head
is due to the faraway kidneys, which
themselves may suffer no pain at the
time.

be on the island of Kos, of the coast

They paid. however, and while
walking down Broadway the excited

THOUGHT 1T WAS IMITATION
Barney Weller Was Fond Of Jokes,
But Rooster Under His Bed
Was Too Much.

Barney Weller was about the fun
niest fellow you ever saw. He was
always making people laugh by play
ing jokes on somebody, and he put up
game on victim every day in the
week. He was in Chicago at a big
hotel on one occasion when the butt
of one of his jokes sought revenge
by securing a live rooster, and tying
IT under Barney's bed at night.
At three o'clock in the morning the
rooster turned up for his first vocal
selection and let out a long, shrill
crow. The second performance of
this kind was too much for the humor-
list. He dressed himself hastily and
rushed down to the night clerk.
GIVE me my bill" he said fierce
Iy. I'm going to get out Of this
place!"
"But please tell me what the
trouble is" suggested the night
clerk.
THAT don't matter" said Weller
angrily. I'm going to get out of
here and get out quick!"
"At least" begged the clerk. -let
US know what is the matter with the
hotel before you CO."
WELL" exploded Weller. there's a
crazy fool next door to me who thinks
this place is henhouse. He's spent
the last two hours trying to initiate a
rooster. Popular Magazine.
