SAVED BY A PANTHER.
The Fierce 3rute Proved a Good Tem
perance Lecturer.
Governor Jeuuiugs of Indiana used
to teil a story of his early electioneer
ing days in which he said that a
panther ruay be a good temperance
lecturer. Colonel \V. M. Cockrum re
peats the story in his ••Pioneer History
of Indiana.” The incident happened
when Governor Jentiiugs was traveling
over the thinly settled hills of Dear
born county, electioneering for con
gress.
He met a man with whom he was
well acquainted, by name Tom Ogles
by. who was just gettiug over a pro
tracted debauch. Jenniugs begau ask
ing Tom about his political views.
The half sober fellow looked at him
aud said:
“Jen. don’t you think a man just out
of a panther tight ought to be elec
tioneered iu a different manner from
this? I am just from the grave. I
was awakened a little while ago by a
panther putting leaves and grass over
me. It kept this up until 1 was entire
ly covered. 1 lay still for awhile aud
then raised up and found the panther
gone. I kuew I was in danger, so 1
took my guu aud climbed into a tree
to see what the panther intended to do.
“In a short time 1 heard her coming,
and she had her kittens with her. Ev
ery few steps she would Jump as if
catch lug something, and the little ones
would go through the same maneu
vers. She kept this up until she got
near to the bed of leaves she had cov
ered over me and then made a spring
on the pile. She looked just as I felt
when I found that I was covered up
for dead. She tbeu started in to in
vestigate the cause of my disappear
ance, aud before she located me I shot
her.”
Jennings, after hearing this, said:
“Well, Tom. 1 believe I should treat
you as one from the dead and that you
should begin your life from this point.
We were schoolboys together. I know
you are a capable civil engineer aud
well educated, aud if you cease drink
ing I will see that you have a good po
sition on the surveying corps.”
Tom Oglesby did quit drinking. Jen
nings was elected and kept bis prom
ise to his old friend, who became one
of the well known engineers of the
United States.
THERMOMETERS.
Testing Processes at the National
Weather Bureau.
Each day at the weather bureau in
Washington the thermometers received
from various manufacturers through
out the country are put through the
test of standardizing them.
The various processes through which
the bulbs pass before they are labeled
“accurate” are easy. Inasmuch as there
is practically little scientific work at
tached to the test. When a thermom
eter is first handed to the man in the
testing room it is dipped into a vat
filled with a compound far below the
freezing point. It is thrust in at the
; point where it happens to be at the
time and worked up and down until
the degree of the compound is reached.
Having then recorded the lowest tem
perature, the process of testing for the
highest is begun. This is just as sim
ple as testing for the low temperature.
The bulb is dipped into a vat of water,
first at 60 degrees. Then it is worked
gradually until 130 degrees is reached.
If the mercury in the bulb will indi
cate 130 degrees further testing is un
necessary, because that is a tolerably
warm temperature and one seldom if
ever reached by natural heat.
A thermometer the bulb of which
contains mercury will not register
lower than 28 degrees below zero—that
is, mercury will freeze at that point.
In this country very little use is
found for thermometers showing more
than 28 degrees below zero, but in the
far north they are of course necessary.
Such instruments, however, contain
spirits in the bulbs iustead of mer
cury. bur even this fluid becomes stug
! gisb when 40 or 50 below zero is re-
I corded, and it will seldom show 60 be
i low.—Harper's Weekly.
Shampoo.
A mid-eighteenth century traveler,
wbo la the first i>erson known to liave
made English of the word "shampoo,”
wrote that “shampooing ia an opera
tion not known in Europe and ia pe
culiar to the Chinese, which 1 had once
the curiosity to go through, and for
which I paid but a trifle However,
had I not seen several Chinese mer
chants shampooed before me I should
have been apprehensive of danger,
even at the sight of ail the different
instruments.” The original “sham
poo,” as this traveler’s detailed ac
count and other allusions for long
after his time show, was very much
what we call "massage” now. It was
from India that the word really came,
and it represents the imperative of a
verb meaning to knead.
Well Bred.
“That’s a well bred child.”
“You bet she is. Never corrects
her parents publicly, no matter what
the exigencies of the case may be.”—
