SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS. 4 Cincinnati physician declares that American people bathe too much. tbe bicycles Allnniinnm felloes in are Jed by some makers as an im regar wood. prove ment on According to careful estimates, three hours of close study wear out t!ie body more than a whole day of close physical exertion. There is a butterfly of India, which, if P ursued by a bird, simply alights bush or a tree and becomes in¬ on a visible by mimicking . the leaves. The total weight of the latest elec trie locomotive constructed is 134,000 pounds- . It is intended to use it ex¬ perimentally in switching and hand¬ ling heavy freight. It is said that if two tuning forks of the same pitch are placed facing each other, the one sounding, the other silent, one will be giving out a dis iinctiy audible note. The roar of a waterfall is explained in the constant explosion of hundreds of thousands of bubbles. The im¬ pact of water against water is be iieveu to be a comparatively subordi¬ nate cause. Electrical power for running the street cars of Sacramento,Cal., is now furnished from Folsom, twenty-four miles distant. The power is gener¬ ated by the falls of the American River at that place. A new German mirror glass reflects the light on one side, from which it is practically opaque,but from the other side is transparent. It oilers obvious advantage for windows, as it prevents passers-by from seeing into a room. A new invention has been designed to prevent collisions at sea. At a recent test the force from electric magnetic coils stationed on board a vessel successfully influenced a chemi¬ cally-prepared compass stationed some six miles away, causing it to set up an instantaneous peal of bells. An ambulance cycle' bas been in¬ vented by a Berlin doctor. It is a litter, resting on two wheels at one end and attached to au ordinary tri¬ cycle at the other, nnd worked by two men. It would be useful in small towns, where a ho-rse ambulance in too expensive, or in the country. The Interior Department at Wash¬ ington is now operating its own tele¬ phone system. Every head of bureau or division has on his desk a moveable apparatus consisting of receiver and transmitter, and the central office, located in the building and run by one operator, can be called up any moment so as to get connection with any other official. Potatoes as Horse Feed. In the first issue of the Planter we gave the experience of W. G. Hinson of James island in reference to feed¬ ing horses and mules ou potatoes. We siflee found two farmers, J. G. Lamp ley of Darlington county and W. D. Harries of Florence county, who are utilizing their potatoes in the same way. Those gentlemen are not doing it from necessity. According to the estimate of Colonel T. W. Woodward of Fairfield it takes three bushels of potatoes to equal in nutriment one bushel of coru, but even if it took four the cost of feeding on the potatoes would be far less. It is well known that a dry summer is favorable to potatoes and just the opposite for corn, and this fact ought to be sufficient to induce every farmer to plant them more largely.—Carolina Planter. A Clamorous Scarecrow, The crows had been stealing the peas of a Monroe citizen of inventive turn of mind. That gentleman tried every known device, to no avail. He then as a last tesort placed a chicken coop among the pea vines and in the coop put a rooster. The next morn¬ ing when the crows called that rooster stuck his head out and crowed lustily. The crows have not returned.—Port¬ land (Me.) Press. A Canine Stew. Some time ago a hungry poor man in Berlin stole the poodle of an organ grinder, took the animal to his home, and then feasted on dog steak and canine stew. But the minions of the law collared him; he was tried foi theft and sentenced to four months' imprisonment.—New York World. Even Then. Adam stood at the gate of Eden, looking out steadily at the new world. “Why don’t you hurry up?” he shouted. “I can’t for the life of me see why a woman never is ready in time. Wbat the—serpent—is keeping you?” “I—[ can’t get these fig leaves pinned straight,” was the reply of Eve in a voice that warned him to carry the discussion no further. Hucl to Work. Rural Ragges—It’s no use, Tatts; I’ve got ter work. Tramping Tatters—Land o’ labor. Roory, me boy ! What’s de matter wid ver? Are yer losin’ ver intellec’?

From, the Foe icing News, Newark, N. J. One of the happiest women in this city is Mrs. George G. Reiss, or 29 Montgomeery Street. ‘‘No one to look at me now,” raid Mrs. Reiss to a reporter, “would think for a mo¬ ment that I was so ill that the doctors said I could not possibly be saved. About three years ago I began to suffer from terrible pains in my stomach and it was almost im¬ possible for me to do any work. Then I had severe headaches that almost distracted me and altogether I was in a very sad condition. Of course I wanted to be well again, and like most people in such cases, I consulted a doc¬ tor, spent money for medicine and took it faithfully. To my infinite regret I got no better, and another doctor was called in. More medicine was prescribed and this I took, but it did no good. Those terrible pains continued to make life miserable for me. The doctors blandly told me that I could not be cured entirely, if at all. Pleas¬ ant news, wasn’t it? Well, I continued to work about the house hero and suffered un¬ told agonies. I did not give up hope but did all I could to relieve mv misery. Nothing gave me any relief, however, hope and I had be¬ gun to think that all must be aband¬ oned, Dr. when, Williams’ in reading Pink. the Pills Evening advertised. News. I saw The printed testimonial coming from a resi¬ dent of this city led me to believe that I, too, might be'beneflted by these pills and not without some misgivings I bought a box oi them. “Almost as soon as I began to take them I felt relieved and the first marked indication of improvement Was when that tired, weary, don’t-care feeling disappeared. This was iu itself something to be grateful for, but other and more pleasing results followed after 1 had taken entirely more of the pills. in My headaohes ceased and the pain my stomach troubled me no more. Now once in a great while I have an occasional ache ora pain, but I know the cure. Out comes the Pink Pills, and after taking one or two of good them, away the pain goes. It all seems so to me that at times I can scarcely believe I that had it can be true and yet I know that if not used these Pink Pills I would still be suffering agony such as few people do in this world.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a con¬ densed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an un¬ failing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, pal¬ pitation of the heart, pale and sallow com¬ plexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, (50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50—they are never sold in bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Sorry Not to Oblige. Poole, the tailor, was a most accom¬ modating gentleman, and was often invited to the houses of “the great. ” When staying with a certain noble¬ man, he was asked, one morniDg, by his host, what he thought of the party who had assembled at table the night before. “Why, very pleasant, indeed, your grace; but perhaps a little mix¬ ed.” “Hang it all, Poole !” responded the jovial peer; “I couldn’t have ail tailors!”—Argonaut.

Gov’t Report Powder 4BS9WIEEV PURE A Prayer for Rain. The part of the Occident in which fhe settlement of Hawville is located had been afflicted with a long and se vere drouth. After the ablest attempts of the rain-makers had brought no re lief, a special prayer meeting was held at the Methodist church, and a united appeal for rain was made to Provi¬ dence. When the service had been going on for some time Col. Handy Polk,an enterprising real estate agent, rose in his place, and with becoming humility began: “Our heavenly Fath¬ er, we are assembled yere today to call Thy attention to the fact that we need rain, and need it mighty had! It hain’t a case of merely wantin’ it, but we’ve jest nacherly got to have it or go stone broke! Our business interests are prostrated and town lots are bein’ offered for half the prices they would have brought six months ago, and go in’ beggin’ at that. Our crops are burnt up, and if we don’t git relief soon half of the population will be forced to pull up stakes and go back East to their wives’ people. And, in addition to the distress that a contin neration of this yere drouth will bring to us, I beg to call Thy at¬ tention to the injury it will inflict upon Thy cause and kingdom in this locality. Already many of the faint hearted have back slidden, and it is only a question of time till sin and innickerty run rampant in our midst. Now I beg also to remind Thee that it is Col. Handy Polk, the well known real estate, loan and insurance agent, who is humbly askin’ this favor of Thee, and that Thou eanst depend upon it that the case stands presizely as I have stated it. And I hope Thou wilt give my humble petition Thy keerful attention, and grant us, before to-morrow night or by the day after to-morrow, at the very latest, the rain we so badly need.” It it to be record¬ ed that, within the space of twenty four hours from that time, fhe rain be¬ gan falling in torrents.—New York Tribune. Seemed Too Extortionate. A middle aged man of tall, slender build and earnest cast of countenance stepped into a hatter’s shop and re¬ moved the wrappings from a soft felt hat he carried in his hand. “How much will it cost to have this dyed a light gray, to match my hair?” he inquired. “It will cost you at least $1,” re¬ plied the hatter. The caller wrapped it up again. “I won’t pay it,” he said decidedly. “For 35 cents I can get my hair dyed to match the hat. Good day, sir.”— Chicago Tribune.
