A HUMAN MAGNET.
A Maine Man who Possesses a
Wonderful Power.
Lifting up Heavy Weights
With His Finger Tips.
r Perhaps it is not generally known,
but iu tho city of Lowiston lives a man
who is possessed of a magnetic oi
some kind of wonderful power which
is truly miraculous. Oscar F. Whit¬
man, the man in question, is thirty-six
years old and lives with his wifo and
little daughter in a cozy house at 76
College street. A Gazette reporter
called on Mr. Whitman and received
a cordial reception. Air. Whitman is
a man about tho average height, with
a pair of broad shouldors and a deep
chest. lie is in every way an athletic
and healthy appearing specimen of
humanity and his lace, though al
times it appears stern, is hi itself 8
picture of benevolence and kindness.
After brief conversation the party
ndjonrned to the kitchen and Mr.
Whitman proceeded to give an exhibi¬
tion of his power.
Seating himself at tho head of t
large tablo iu the middle of tho rooir
Mr. Whitman held his hands out at ar
angle of about forty-five degrees. In
a short time a convulsive expression
seemed to creep over his face and plac¬
ing his finger tips on tho tablo lie
raised it up and held it in tho air as if
it was nothing- but a sheet of paper.
Tho reporter, with Mr. Whitman’s
consent then took a seat at the opposite
end of tho tablo and tried to hold it,
but tho magic finger tips were toe
much and he was pulled over, chaii
aud all. Now, Mr. Bradbury prides
himself on being a pretty strong man,
so with a smile on his faco be changed
liia scat for the one at the end of the
tabic. Grasping the table legs firmly
be braced his feet and the look that
stole over his face plainly said: ‘‘Now,
friend spirits or whatever you are,
I’vo got you.” lie did not have them,
though, ami the 215 pounds of human
flesh, chair and tablo followed the dic¬
tation of tho wonderful finger tips
over the room in a manner which
inado every ono else laugh.
Mr. Liuscott during these proceed¬
ings had been rubbing up his musclot
and preparing for a grip with the
supernatural. Ho took a seat, calmly
got a good hold and announced that
he was ready. He was ready, too, for
his muscles stood out like whipcord,
bnt still ho was not “in it” and, like
the others, yielded to the inevitable.
Messrs. Tarr aud wood concluded it
was no use to try it and so this pari
•f the proceedings came to an end.
Now some think that Mr. Whitman
is a walking electric plant, but such is
not the case, for he placed a pane of
flags on the table aud, placiug his
fingers on it, lifted it just as if the
non-conductor was not there.
Mr. Whitman does not claim to be
a spiritualist or an electrician. When
he wants to use his latent power ho
holds his hands out as stated above,
at an angle of forty-five degrees, and
the current starts from his shoulders
and runs to his finger tips, and when
he is done using it he dips liis fingers
in cold water, sprinkles a few drops
on his forehead, and, holding both
hands in the air, allows it to run back
to its recepticle in his shoulders. “It
seems,” said Mr. Whitman, “as if
there was a hollow in my bones
through which this power is trans*
milted.”
This power was noticed ?n Mr.
Whitman when ho was a small boy.
Sometimes, when playing with othei
children, lie would place his fingers on
a chair and, for his amusement, pull
the other children around the room
hanging to it. Mr. Whitman grow up
the same as other boys, and being of
a rather reserved disposition said little
about his powers. He has been work¬
ing and is now employed as a cnttci
with the firm of Gay, Woodman &
Co., although lately he has not worked
more than half the time. — [Auburn

A New Kind of Counterfeit.
Captain Porter of tho secret service
came into possession of a now counter¬
feit yesterday. It was a $20 bill
made of patches from seven different
notes of the same denomination. The
seven pieces were skilfully patched
together with strips of court plaster,
but they constituted a whole bill,
which appeared perfectly good. Any
mutilated bill is redeemable at a Sub-
Treasury provided three-fifths of the
bill is presented. Tho maker of this
uoto thoreforo worked a very neat
scheme by taking seven $20 bills and
tearing enough from each to make
another bill. Tho mutilated notes
bciug redeemable be cashed them for
good notes at the Sub-Treasury, and
taking iho portions lie had torn off’ he
made a very presentable $20 bill.
The numbers in*each corner were dif¬
ferent, but the note in all other re¬
spects, even upon close investigation,
appears good. Captain Porter, in en¬
deavoring to trnee the bill to its maker,
found that it hud been paid into the
Sub-Treasury by a posi master, The
latter had received it from a woman
who "had taken it in change for a $100
bid at a large business house in this
city. The firm was unable to truce it
to any ol its customers and the search
; was abaudoned.—[Chicago Herald.

RHEUMATISM IN A HEIFER.
Rheumatism is a very common dis¬
ease in farm animals, probably bc-
causo tliey arc so much exposed to
changes of weather and oilier cause*
of infiaminatory condition. This dis¬
ease appears in the form of an inler-
mitlcnt lameness which change* from
one part to auothor. This is a marked
symptom of tho disorder, which is
quite often inherited, and is thus
spread through a herd. Tho most bene¬
fit is gained from long-conlinucd
doses of one ounce of hyposulphite of
soda given daily iu a brail mash.

A NEW HYBRID TEA-ROSE.
It is not often that Germany offers
a novelty in roses, but German florists
have placed on the market a new
hybrid tea-rose, to which has been
given (lie imposing name of Kaiscrin
Auguste Viktoria. Tho plant is de¬
scribed as vigorous, with only erect
strong shoots, with few strong thorns,
giving it a well-trained and pleasant
appearance. Tlio foliage, when young
of brownish red, turns a dark glossy
green. Each shoot bears one, some¬
times two or three well-filled, enp-
shuped flowers, showing an orange
yellow in the centre which is sur¬
rounded by crcarn-ycllow petals,which
turn crenin-while on the outside and
recurve gently. — [New York World.
SPRAYING APPLE TREES.
When apple (roes aro sprayed with
such poisons us Paris green aud Lon¬
don purple, it is not safe to turn cattle
iu to pasture until after there has been
a heavy shower or enough rain to
wash the poison down into the soil.
One good shower will usua’ly be suf¬
ficient to throw tiic poison down bo-
yoml tiio rcaeli of pasturing cattle.
The apples on the trees will also be
washed clean, and should any fall and
be ea'cn by cattle there will be little
danger of injury, at least not from the
poisons they retain. Tliero is some
doubt in regard to Die efficacy of such
poisons as arc named for repelling the
coillin moth, and wo would bo pleased
to have those of our readers who spray
their trees this season report tho re¬
sults.—[American Agriculturist.
WET IIAY IN TIIE MOW.
Years ago, when mowing away hay
by hand, forkfuls that sectned especi¬
ally green or dump wore left on top
of the mow. It was a surprise to us
then to note that in this position (hey
nearly always rotted, though exposed
to air. Tiie reason is that os the green
hay in tho mow heats it sends up its
moisture in heated air, which con¬
denses as soon ns it meets the colder
nir above. This keeps the wet grass
continually wet until it is rotted. But
in such case the green clover below
will usually be found in excellent con¬
dition. Top oil' with dry hay, or bet¬
ter still, with a few forkfuls of dry
straw from last year’s stack. Straw
is also excellent to top the stacks of
hay. Usually for a foot or more at
top tho liny will bo Hourly worthless.
If straw was covered to tho depth it
would absorb tho moisturo of lmy and
be improved by its aroma.— [Boston

TURPENTINE FOR ROUP.
Experiments made bIioav that tlio
gorins of roup aro destroyed when
brought iu contact with spirits of tur¬
pentine. Turpentine, however, is a
severe doso to give even if effectual,
and if too much is given it may do
damage of itself. To properly pre¬
pare it, mix one part spirits of turpen¬
tine, ono part kerosene aiul tliroe parts
glycerine in a sewing machine oil can,
and always shake well before using.
Willi tlio point of tlio oil can force
three drops of the mixture in each
nostril and live or six drops down tho
throat of tlio fowl twice a day. lloup
is a disease that is almost incurable,
being contagious, and gradually ex¬
hausts tho bird instead of causing in¬
stant death. If it appears in tlio en¬
tire flock, tlio labor of handling tho
sick birds is often more than tho value
of Iho flock; ami as roup cannot well
bo treated on the wholesale plan (that
is, without handling tho fowls) it is
cheaper lo clean them out, burn tho
carcasses, thoroughly disinfect mnl be¬
gin anew. Tlio buildings should be
very warm and dry—[Farm aud Firo-

TO KEEP EGGS FRESH.
A correspondent of tlio Lancaster
Farmer writes: “It is sometimes dcsir-
ble to store away eg s in the summer
or fall,when prices arc so low that wc
cannot t.fiord to sell them, and keep
them till hi tho winter, when they arc
often very scarce, and will bo keenly
relished or can be disposed of at a
good price. To keep them thus WO
do not believe there is a more simple
or efficient way than the ono I liavo
always practised, and which was suc¬
cessfully practised by my father
for tho last thirty or
forty years. This is by
simply taking none but perfectly
fresh and sound eggs and setting
liiem in layers on tho tip or small end,
in a box or basket or anything that
will hold eggs. We do not put any.
thing between them, nor do we put
them up ‘air-tight,’ but we always
keep them in the cellar, Eggs that
we have put away iu this position
wiiro—aflor being kept six months—
as good aud fresh as the day they
were laid, anil wo have never found
one that was spoiled or slulo among
them when thus served, We feel
confident that they would keep) good

Witt CABBAGE FAILS.
For a good crop of cabbago, a deep,
rich loam is necessary, and for a heavy
crop it must not succeed other tliuii
grass. Tho host crops arc secured by
turning under sod uhout the 1st of
June, and about tho 1st of August
spreading liberally woll-rottod stable
manure, and working it in witli tho
cultivator. In cabbage-growing dis-
trlcts this method will give an abundant
crop of large and perfect heads. With
good seed, of the host strain, under
these conditions, fully ninety-five per
cont. of tho plants set should produce
marketable heads. In fact, I have
seen better result* than this. On tho
contrary, take tho plant* grown from
the same stock seed, sot them on a
light soil that has been heavily
cropped for a succession of years,
(be vegetable matter being pretty
thoroughly exhausted, the climatic
conditions being equally favorable,
this soil would not yield half the crop
of that of the former. Again, take
plants from the same seed-bed, of the
same stock, sot in a field when the at¬
mospheric conditions were favorable,
say just before a heavy rain, and an
equal number of plants just after tho
rain, if it comes off very hot and dry
after the planting, tho result will show
two crops so diflerent in appeavance
that even an expert, not knowing the
facts, would say there were two dis¬
tinct kinds of seeds sown—the one
good, the otlior poor.
Cabbage moro than any other plant
is injured by receiving a check in
transplanting. Plants set just before
a heavy rain will not receivo a check
because the earth becomes so tlior-
ouglily packed about the roots, while
those set after a rain may 3iiffer be-
cause the earth is not pressed firmly
about the roots. To guard against
this the better plan is to puddlo the
plants and to set them in clear weather,
when thore is no necessity for haste,
and tho work can bo perfectly done.
this plan I have never known to fail,
and I believe more failures are due to
improper transplanting than to all
other causes combined. [American

The Acting Cockatoo.
An Australian traveler describes the
theatrical performance of a tame cock-
atoo, known by tho pet name of “The
Doctor.” It pretends to have a violent
toothache, nursing its beak in its claw,
rocks ilself backward and forward aa
if in (lie greatest agony, and in answer
to all tho remedies which are proposed
it croaks out, “Oh, it ain’t a bit of
good!” It pretends to sew, holding a
little piece of cloth underneath the
claw which rests on the perch, and
going through all the motions with the
other, getling into difficulties with the
thread, and finally sotting up a loud
song in praise of sowing machines,
just as if it were an advertisement. Ilis
best performance is when lie imitates
a hawk. Ho reserves this piece of
acting until his mistress is feeding her
poultry; then when all the hens and
chickens, turkeys and pigeons are in
the quiet enjoyment of their breakfast
or supper, tlio peculiar shrill cry of
the hawk is beard overhead, and tho
doctor is seen circling in the air,utter¬
ing an occasional scream. The fowls
never find out that this is a hoax,
but run to shelter, cackling in great
alarm—hens clucking loudly for their
chicks, turkeys crouching under tho
bushes, and llio'pigeons taking refuge
in their house. As soon ns the ground
is quite clear,the cockatoo changes his

To Take Off a Tight Ring.
Finger rings that aro worn constantly
often become too tight, and when from
some cause or other it is necessary to re¬
move them the task becomes difficult and
in some cases painful. A very good way
to take a tight ring from a finger is to put
a thread of soft white silk in a needle,
and pass the needle under the ring. Pull
one end of the silk upward with the hand,
and twist the remaining silk around the
finger several times until it reaches the
nail. Then pull on the other thread, and
the ring will slip oil very easily.— Ex-

Trying to Give Away a Baby Carriage.
“I supposed,” said a Brooklyn woman
yesterday, “that it was the easiest thing
possible to give away an article of posi
tive use and value, but I find it is not, I
own a perfectly good baby carriage, has for
which my big 4-yenr-old baby no
longer tho slightest need, and for six
weeks I have been trying to bestow it as
a gift upon somebody. I could have sent
it direct to some hospdal nr day nursery,
but I bad a fancy I should like to pick
out person illy some poor mother who
would be delighted with such a windfall.
But I have not been able to find her. I
began with the s’stcr of my nurse, the
wife of a hnrd working mechanic, secured but I
was told she had already and was
paying riage with a dollar a plush week and upon ‘a satin fine car¬
blue a para¬
sol.’
“A friend’s waiherwoman enme and
looked at it and decided it was too large
to stand in lnr hallway, so she continues
to carry her big baby to and from tho
person she leaves h ra with while she is
out had, at work. I spoke to a physician charity who
I know, a considerable
practice, and he told me after a fort¬
night’s iutcrval that his offer of the car¬
riage to four different poor and working
mothers had aroused no enthusiasm.
Every one of them expected to have ‘a
new one before the summer.’ I called in
a woman from the street who was car¬
rying a baby of weight seemingly beyond
her strength.
“She looked it over without ardor,
but finally said she would take it and
would come back for it in the afternoon.
I never saw her again. The effort now is
it becoming interesting, and I shall continue
until the person who will be thoroughly
glad to own the carriage is encountered.
She must exist somewhere in this big
city.” —New York Timet,.

“August Flower”
For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said stomach was about
worn out, aud that I would have to
cease eating solid food for a time at
least. I was so weak that I could
not work. Finally on the recom¬
mendation of a friend who had used
your beneficial preparations
A worn-out with re¬
Stomach, sults, I procured August a
bottle of
Flower, and com¬
menced using it. It seemed to do
me good at flesh once. I gained in
strength and rapidly; my ap¬
petite became good, and I suffered
no bad effects from what I ate. I
feel now like a new man, and con¬
sider that August Flower has en¬
tirely cured me of Dyspepsia in its
worst form. James E. Dederick,

Flower for Dyspepsia and find it an
excellent remedy.

A woman who can ett,
She’s the woman who gets well,
It’s the woman who won't see and
won’t believe who , , has to suffer.
And it’s needless. There’s a
medicine—a legitimate medicino-
that’s made to stop woman’s suf.
fering and cure woman’s ailments
It’s Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescript
tion. It’s purely vegetable and
perfectly general, harmless — a powerful
as well as uterine, tonic
and nervine, imparting vigor and
strength to the whole system. For
down periodical pains, weak back, bearing,
sensations, nervous prostra¬
tion, and all “ female complaints,”
it’s a positive remedy. It improves
digestion, enriches the blood, dispels
aches and pains, melancholy and
nervousness, brings refreshing sleep, ’
and restores health and strength.
No other medicine for women is
giiaranteed, as this is. If it fails to
give satisfaction, in any case, the
money only paid for it is refunded. You
pay for the good you get. On
these terms it’s the cheapest.
But more than that, it’s the bat.
