Story About Jar Gould.
Publication of a schedule of the
personal property left by the late Jay
Gould has reminded a Senator of a
story concerning the bright side of
Mr. Gould’s nature. “It is a mis
take," says this Senator, “to assume i
that because Jay Gould was a great
money maker he did not have his
generous and sympathetic moments.
A friend of mine in New York chanced
to be talking with Mr. Gould in his
office in the Western Union Building
when an anarchist attempted to kill
Bussell Sage in a building across the j
street. At the moment of the explo
sion Mr. Gould was talking to my
friend about some mortgages. When
the crash came Gould looked out the
window and remarked: ‘That is ter
rible ! I am afraid they have killed
a lot of people over there! As 1 was
saying, Mr. Blank, about these mort
gages’—and Mr. Gould resumed his
business as if nothing had happened."

'ord that ha would come
a short time. This incensed the
commandante, and he sent a file of
soldiers after Mago, and when the
insect collector appeared ordered fifty
lashes to be laid upon his bare back.
This was done very thoroughly, and
when it was finished Gonzales shouted:
“Give him fifty more for luck.”
When Mago recovered, which was
only after very careful nursing, as his
back was badly cut up, he made a
formal complaint to the British Gov
ernment. The result was that Guate
mala was ordered to punish Gonzales,
and to pay Mago $500 for every lash
he had received. In default of this
English cruisers would shell San Jose
and other coast cities.
Guatemala readily punished Gonza
les, but tried hard to evade paying
$50,000 to Mago. The British, how
ever, were inexorable, and the poor
collector was made a comparatively
rich man in one day. As he had more
coin than any one in the country at
that time, President Barrios went into
partnership with him.
Mago became one of the largest
coffee planters, and also secured the
contract for building docks in that
port. No one can land or leave one
of these docks without paying toll to
Mago, while he also levies a tax on all
freight. He alio owns valuable mines
and tracts of timber. His fortune is
estimated at $5,000,000, all due to 100
lashes on the baok.—Detroit Free

The Chinese Pharmacopoeia.
Muoh has been written by travelers
about Chinese medicines, usually in a
spirit of ridicule, as if, though noth
ing else in their books should be pro
vocative of mirth, this subject might
confidently be relied on to raise a
laugh. A common belief is that
Chinese medicines consist almost en
tirely of mineral substances, the vege
table kingdom being little drawn
upon. But the opposite is the case.
In Mr. B. Braun’s work, “A List of
the Chinese Medicines Exported From
Hankow and the Other Yangtze
Ports,” which contains the names of
most of tho medicines in use in the
central parts of China, there are 412
medicines classed asunder: Insects,
9; roots, 113 ; barks and husks, 25;
twigs and leaves, 16; flowers, 21;
seeds and fruits, 93; grasses, 18; sun
dries, 117. The sundries may be sub
divided into 34 herbal products, 32 an
imal products, and 51 mineral pro
ducts.
Now, taking the roots, barks, etc.,
and adding them to the 34 herbal
products, we have 320 medicines ob
tained from the vegetable kingdom;
then to the 9 insects add the 32 ani
mal products, and we have 41 medi
cines obtained from the animal king
dom, and, as already mentioned, there
are but 51 mineral products. Nearly
all the medicines I have classed as
“mineral products” are simply prepa
rations of iron, mercury, lead, zinc,
etc., counterparts of medicines to bo
found in any European laboratory.
The curiosities of the Chinese pharma
copoeia are to be found in the animal
department, but even then it must be
remembered that they are only the
curiosities.—Chines Imperial Cus

What a blessing is the privilege. Two cents,

when it was quite a tax to pay for a letter from

Boiled Milk.
Some very iuterestiug experiments
have lately been made in France by
Dr. Cbamouin in the line of boiling
milk to free it from being a means of
infection and contagion. There has
been a great prejudice in this country
against boiled milk for infant feeding,
but the idea that the boiling process
does away with the nourishing proper
ties and digestibility is done away
with by Dr. Chamouin’s experiments.
He fed a number of kittens on boiled
milk and a number ou fresh milk.
Those fed on the boiled milk were
twice as fat and healthy as those fed
on fresh milk.
He further carried on experiments
in l’aris which assured him that the
infant death rate could be made much
less, were the thousands of infants
hand fed, given boiled milk instead of
fresh milk.
This series of experiments has been
very interesting from the reason that
boiled milk has been used, with un
qualified success, in rearing my own
babies, ns fat and healthy a set as one
could desire. The amount of milk
used in a day was placed in a fire
crock aud boiled. The thick top or
scum lifted off and the crock covered
and put away safely, was all there was
as to trouble. A tiny granite sauce
pan held just enough for a meal and
that meal was slightly warmed, not
heated hot, before putting it into the
bottle.
Boiling milk is, indeed, a simple
precaution against the bowel ailments
of infants, so simplo every mother
should try it.— Womankind.
WUat Comes After Death.
A good thing is told in connection
with the recent lectui-es oh theosophy,
in this city. The lecturer, in the
midst of a learned discourse, asked m
stentorian tones:
“What comes after death?” No one
answered, and after waiting a moment
he repented with vehemence: “Again
I say, what comes After death?"
Just at that moihent the door opened
and in walked one of the leading un
dertakers of the city and went demure
ly to a seat. The coincidence was too
much for the audience.—Bangor Com

At last science has demonstrated how
our discoverer made his egg stand on
end and secured the means by which
to make his expedition a success.
The egg was first laid down on its
side on a plate and the dish moved
about with the hand in a circle till the
egg catches onto the movement and
begins to rotate on a sidewise axis; as
the speed is made to increase it is
gradually brought upon its tip end,
spinning like a top, when the plate
can be placed on the table with the
egg on end in a condition that would
well illustrate the earth on its polar
axis.

’ent investigator on
’rofessor Alfred S.
Imonstrator of medicine in
ersity of Michigan. Accord--
_ 1o that eminent authority, The
'edical News, some remarkable re
sults proceeded from Professor War-
then’s experiments with music on
mesmerism. The patient was first
hypnotized and Wagner’s “Ride of the
Walkure” was played at him on the
piano. Immediately the subject
showed intense excitement; appeared
to be in great agony and he broke out
in profuse perspiration. On awaken
ing from his trance, the patient de
clared that he had not perceived the
music as sound, but as feeling; as if
he were riding furiously through the
air.
Another extraordinary effect was
produced ou a hypnotized patient by
suddenly changing from tho music of
Wagner to other and inferior strains.
“The subject’s face became ashy pale,
the pulse dropped from 120 to forty
beats per minute and became irregu
lar, soft and small; tho respirations
were decreased in number and became
sighing in character. On being awak
ened the subject said he had been op
pressed by a horrible fear because
everything had suddenly seemed to
come to an end.” The inference is
perfectly plain. Professor Warthen
has established the fact that devotees
of music- drama are mesmerized and
incapable of independent thought or
emotion while the drama is being en
acted.
The memory of Wagner just as fully
hypnotizes the German as the photo
graph of the diabolical Svengali influ
enced Trilby long alter his death.
These searching investigations and
honest experiments unquestionably
demonstrate that this litte understood
force, hypnotism, is worthy of pro
found Consideration and exhaustive in
vestigation.

Value of Our Cereal Crop3.
The report of the statistician of the
agricultural department concerning
the area, product and value of the ce
real crops for 1894, which has recently
been published, contains some very
significant figures. The report states
that the corn crop of the year is one
of the lowest on record, the yield per
acre being but 19.4 bushels. The area
harvested in the corn-producing states
has been reduced by severe drought
and dry winds to 62,582,000 acres from
the 76,000,000 acres planted. The
crop has been about 1,212,770,000
bushels, and the estimated value is
fixed at $354,719,000. The wheat crop
is slightly above the average. The
entire product of the country is 460,-
267,416 bushels, which is valued nt
$225,902,025. This represents the en
tire product of 34,882,436 acres. The
rate of yield has been 13.2 bnshels per
acre, and the average value per bushel
49.1 cents. The estim-tes of the area,
product and value of the other crops
are as follows:
The estimates for oats are: Area,
27,023,553 acres; product. 662,086,928
bnshels; value, $214,816,920; yield

Metallic Carpets.
Lowell parties are reported to be ex
perimenting with a process for making
metallic yarns for nse in carpets. The
process consists of a foundation of a
metal coating on an inferior surface,
and weaving the sti-ads in certain
proportions. The object is to secure
greater durability and strength than it
is possible to obtain from the use of
yarns made from our animal or Vege
table fibers. A non-otidizable metal
is employed and this is dissolved and
applied to the surfaces of threads, ren
dering them like metal in appearance
and general characteristics. The me
tallic composition is composed of aln-
minium, borax, alum, litharge and
wax. These compounded with white
lead and one or two other substances
produce a metallic coating that it is as
flexible and soft as common paint
would be, yet to all appearances tlio
covering is as metal, very much re
sembling dlitmintiai. Various sub
stances can be nsed for the core or
body of the thread, among others wood
pulp, jute, cotton, flax, etc. The me
tallic coating is applied to the yarns
automatically in a device consisting of
a chamber in which the ingredients
are put, and through which the yarns
are drawn, tile coating adhering to the
surface of the threads.—Industrial

Smoking and Sense.
Edison says that when ho is busy
and deeply'absorbed in his work he con
sumes about twenty cigars a day; when
be is less active mentally, nbout ten.
They are always strong cigars. The
inventor says that this excessive smok
ing has never, so far ns he can discov
er, done him any harm, and if it did
he would be certain to stop the habit.
His family 1ms been one c!t smokers,
bis grandfather, who lived to be 108,
having been an inveterate smoker and
a ehewer of tobacco as fr’ell.—Public
Opinion.
The Blood-Curdling Yell.
Mrs. Strongmind—What would the
men say if 1,000,000 women
should rise in their righteous wrath
and demand the ballot at the point of
the bayonet?
Mr. ‘itrongmind (abstractedly)—
Oh, rats, I suppose. — Truth.
THE ONWARD rtARCH
of Consumption is
stopped short by Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Med
ical Discovery. If
you haven’t waited
beyond reason,
there's complete re
covery and cure.
Although Try many
believed to be incur
able, there is the
evidence of hundreds
of living witnesses to
the fact that, in all
,, its earlier stages, con-
tpsumption is a curable
disease. Not every
' case, but a large per
centage of cases, and
we believe, fully 98
per cent, are cured
by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery,
even after the disease lias progressed so
far as to induce repeated bleedings from
the lungs, severe lingering ci.igh with
copious expectoration (including tubercu
lar matter), great loss of flesh and extreme
emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to ns as cured by “Golden Med
ical Discovery ” were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis
representing them, and who were^often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of “Golden Medical Discovery,”
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, ail other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod-
liver oil and its filthy “emulsions” and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and liad either utterly failed to bene
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the liypophos-
phitesliad also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a 'large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced ill a book of 160
pages which will be mailed to you, on re
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
