The Littlo Georgia Magnet Charged With Perjury in New York. GIVEN A VERY MAD REP. After All It 2tX*jr be Only One of the Shrewd Little Woman's Many Schemes to Advortlne Her* ■ elf—'‘Fell In a Faint.” According to the New York World, Annie Abbott,' the “Georgia Magnet," who makes Maoon her home when not traveling, and who has relatives living here, 4s In a. whole peck of trouble In New York ,but, after all, It may only be one of her clever schemes to ad vertise herself. Nearly everybody In Maoon has seen the little tnagnet, either In her per formances here, or In everyday life, and, therefore, the following sensation al story from the World of Sunday will be read with interest: "Annie Abbott, the Georgia Magnet," whose tricks of mysterious force Nellie Bly so thoroughly exposed last Septem ber,' Is keeping away from this city very carefully to avoid payment of a Judgment and possible arrest on a charge of perjury In connection with the case. She was last heard from In Newark, where she tried to get up ln- iirest In her -somewhat mysterious performances. After leaving this city under the Judgment cloud. Mies Ab bott remained sequestered for some time In Vineland, N. J. Lawyers and oredltone are awaiting her return to this state. For several years Mrs. Abbott caused spasmodic furores In various parts of Europe by defying the strongest men to uft jher oft the floor, and at the same time performing what seemed like re markable feats of strength herself. London. got quite excited about her mysterious power, and even royal per- eondgea were led into having private When Mrs. Abbott came to New York last fall she gave several private ses sions to puzzle doctors at the Sturte- vant House, and even the great San- dow failed utterly to lift her. But her complete exposure was due to the sharp eyes and quick perception of Nellie Bly, who. after watching an ex hibition of Mrs. Abbott’s In the World office, saw that the mysterious power was Biroply ai trick of equilibrium, and at once did all the puzzling feats her self. Even Sandow could not lift Miss Bly. After that 'Mrs. Abbott’s mag netic power drew her Into legal troubles. According to papers in the city court she engaged last October W. Peters to act us her manager for perform ances throughout the country. Peters worked for one month and was then dismissed without being paid a cent. He sued for 8500, and Mrs. Abbott pay ing no attention to the summons served upon her, Judgment wae taken by de fault. But she promptly moved her ef fects over to New Jeisey. Peters found that she had 845 on deposit with Tiros. Cook & Son. He enjoined them from paying over the money to Mrs. Ab bott until his Judgment was satisfied. Mns. Abbott, on ilndinj? that she was unable to dra-w the money from the bankers, returned to the city and made ar J ®*pday11. that she wao never served with the summon* In the actloni ago4nst her by her manager, even going so far as to swear she was never served with * sum." 10 / 13 ln her 1Ife * and a«klng that the Juuspnent be set aside.

Genuine Outside of New England, The reason why baked beans outside of Now England are bo unlike the genuine article Isthatthey are not properly oooked, and more especially because they on not oooked ln t-bo old fashioned down east bean pot There itro probably no real bean pots on sale autelde of Now England. They oro all about the same In appearance and nro inmlo of potter’s clay, which Is tho material flowerpots are made of. For some reasons beans baked ln any other utensil aro unlike thoso baked ln a been pot Just why this Is so Is hard to determine, but tbs fact remains. Possibly the thick pettery ware affects the beans ln s similar manner as n meerschaum pipe atfeots the flavor of tobaoco. Any one oan havo nlco baked beans If ho secures a bean pot nnd follows these di rections: Tint get your beans. Tho largo red kidney variety Is largely used, but tho small white pea bean la more generally popular. One quart of bea&s Is sufficient when cooked for two meals for au average fam ily. They should bo soaked ln cold water for an hour or so. Then salt and popper should bo added, togethor with half a tea- spoonful of mustard and half a toacupful of molasses. The molasses gives the beans a dollclous flavor, and at tho same time it la not too.pronounced, nor Is It posslblo to detect the molasses. When tho beans aro ln tho pot, halt or tbroo-qnartors of a pound of pork, well streaked with lean, should bo placed on top and then enough warm water poured Into tho pot to just oovor tbo beans. Beans should be baked ln an ovon of even temperature for olther a day or a night, or, ln othor words, about 18 hours. It Is hotter to bako them ln tbo daytlmo, for thon thoy oan rccolvo inoro attention. Aa tho water gradually ovaporatos more should be added from time to time, but care should bo takon to keep the beans oovorod. This must bo done until the beans are nearly ready to bo taken out, when no more wator should bo addod, so that thoy will not bo so moist as to be come mashed or brokon. Tha pot oan remain In the oven, whom It will simply keep hot, for an Indeflnlto tlmo without Injury. Beans should be sorved ln a covered dish. Beans that havo been left over are delicious warmed up ln a stowpnn with a littlo water added, and many bean oplouros think tbo moro times beans nro warmed over tho hotter thoy ara —Exohango. Asphyxia by Electricity, According to Professor Krattor of Gratz, who has far somo tlmo boon performing experiments on tho oSect of oleotrlcal shooks on anlmsl life, death Is most usu ally onused by audden cessation of respira tion and consoqucnt suffocation. During tbo suffocation tho heart continues Its no tion. If tho asphyxia lnsts moro than a certain tlmo, about two minutes, tho hoart stops, this being a secondary phonomonon. Generally speaking, tha animals used- cats, dogs, rabbits and mloor-wore not easily killed by 1600-8000 volts nltornnt Ing. Tho danger appears to llo ln tho norvous system and to dooroaso with tho amount of brain dovolopnint. Frequently doath occurs by momentary stoppago of tho movement of tho heart, but a slow oessatlon Of the heart 1 ! aotlon, such os has been observed ln cases of human death, was never observed. In no enso was any anatomical alteration observable to which death might bo attributed, but thoro aro sometimes loslons, breaking of blood ves sels, and tho diagnosis Is rendorod certain by tho peculiar burning at tho position of contaot and by tho escape of blood from tho capillaries, which Indicates tho path taken by tbo ourrent.—Philadelphia Kco- ordi The Age at Tidbits. This Is tho ngo of tidbits. Pooplo aro content to bo fed by literary oat’s moat mon on "soraps” and to nourish tha soul on journallstlo essences. Suoh a stato of things is tho Nomcsls of tbo printing press. It Is so much simpler to glanco at tho nowspaper review of books than to read the hooka for ourselves. As a rule, too, wo merely read tbo startling or sploy extracts which the rovlowcr is compelled to tear from tho context Tho result la that tho ordinary porson who passes somo glib judgment on such a work as tho "Thomas Carlylo" of Mr. Froudo knows os muoh of ltB nctual con tents as tho fnshlonablo Idiot ln Dlekcns knownbout Shakespcaro’asubllmo tragedy of "Maoboth."

Thoy aro readily tamed when caught young and will act like dogs when called by tho mas ters, crouching, wagging tholr tails and rolling on tho ground, but, like tho wolf, are not to bo trusted, for thoy respect only tbo band of their master.
