Dr. Max Nordau, who has lately
turned his attention to the consolida
tion of large companies of capitalists,
is one of the most skillful and learned
physicians of Europe. His very wide
spread fame is due, however, not to his
scientific ability, but rather to his bril
liance as an author. In 1883 he shocked
and delighted two continents with his
rarely analytical book, "Conventional
Lies of Society." In 188fi he published
his "Paradoxes," and in 1893 the work
by which he is best known, "Degenera
tion " In this remarkably original
book Dr. Nordau atetmpts to show on
purely psycho-physiological grounds
that all modern tendencies are toward
degeneration. He fortifies his position
by examinations into art. literature
and life, and claims that degeneracy
is seen iti all mental and moral phe

A Dream of Copper.
The dream that is said to have re
vealed to a young chemist in Pennsyl
vania the secret of tempering copper
cannot he accounted among the idle
fani ie.s of the brain should his experi
ments prove as successful as they
promise. It is a practical vision that
supplies a formula to experiment upon
that may result in restoring what has
for centuries been considered a lost
art.
The psychological part of the Penn
sylvania incident does not show, how
ever, that the dreamer was blessed
with an outright revelation. He had
long been experimenting with copper
in au effort to obtain the required
hardness that would make it cut steel,
and, like a shrewd American, he had
in view the large reward said to have
been offered by the government for the
discovery of such a formula. This
task naturally affected his sleeping as
well as his waking hours, and it was
subconscious suggestion that at last
gave him a clew to what he sought. A
sample of tempered copper, sent to
Washington, is claimed to have with
stood every test.

Pine JVeedle-t.
It having been announced some time
since that oil of pine was beneficial in
relieving pulmonary complaints it
seems that since then quite an indus
try has spruug up in Oregon in its
manufacture. The oil is made from
pine needles, which are stripped from
the trees twice a year. Some of the
trees, it is said, yield from 600 to X00
pounds of leaves at each picking, a
good hand being able to pick about
600 pounds a day. As soon as picked
the leaves are sent to the factory,
where the oil is extracted by distilla
tion, ten pounds of oil being produc
ed from two thousand pounds of
leaves. The fibre that remains is wo
ven into fabrics and mixed with hair
for mattresses. It is also used as a
filling for cigars, to which it imparts
a pleasant quality. A notable fact
connected with the process is that it is
oonaidered a benefit to the treea to
fitnp them twice a year. Those engag

JLoOe and Figures
That love will find a way through all
difficulties is illustrated by the recent
experiences of Philander Simon and
Bertha Karger, both of Paterson, N.
J. Philander had been keeping com
pany with Bertha about two years,
wnen ror some un
explained reason
his love began to
cool. Simultane
ously Bertha be
gan to fret and
pine away. There
had been no actual
engagement be
tween them, so
that a suit could
not be brought for
breaking the mar
riage promise, but
Berthas mother, who Is not only a
woman of expedients but a thrifty
soul, decided upon a plan for punish
ing the faithless Philander, She fig
ured that he had eaten sixty hearty
dinners at her house, upon the occa
sions of his Sunday wooings, which
at 25 cents each amounted to $15. Be
sides this in a rash moment she had
lent him $10. She accordingly began
suit for $25.
Meanwhile, Philander, who is also
thrifty and a man of expedients, be
gan to do a little figuring on his own
side, and promptly came in with a
counterclaim for $86.80, which left
Mrs. Karger $61.60 in his debt, if the
claim were pressed. Bertha, as girls
go, had not been expensive. In two
years the had consumed but one box
of chocolates, twelve pounds of candy,
thirty ice creams, and 100 sodas,
amounting to $9.55. She had only been
once to Coney Island, but had had
100 trolley rides, transportation foot
ing up $12.60. Bouquets for two birth
days cost $5 and two books 65 cents,
a total investment of $27.80. which
shows that Philander had the advan
tage of $2.80 in actual expenses over
Mrs. Karger. This margin Philander
increased by putting in a claim for his
time, charging 50 cents for each Sun
day evening's wooing for two years, or
$52. In the course of the preparations
for the suits Philander and Bertha
were thrown much together, and en
couraged hy the artful lawyers on both
sides, as well as by thrifty Mrs. Kar
ger, who was appalled by the counter
claims, the flame broke out anew and
with greater ardor than before. An ac
tual engagement was effected, a day
for the marriage fixed, and both suits
were dropped, and Philander and
Bertha are happy, all owing to Philan
der's skill in figuring.

Rogers from Edward F. Rogers, thus
confirming the report of the referee.
Mrs. Rogers is the daughter of the
late Mrs. Kate Adams, and a distant
cousin of Harry Cornish. Roland B.
Molineux was found guilty of causing
tiie death of Mrs. Adams by poison,
which lie was accu ed of sending to
Cornish at the Knickerbocker A. (’.,
New York city. Cornish had a room
in Mrs. Adams' apartments in West

morning her mother died, after finding
the dose of cyanide of mercury.
Mrs. Rogers and her husband have
been separated for some time, she liv

she brought her suit she applied for
alimony. One of her lawyers stated,
pathetically, that she had to “live in
a New York hash house.” while her

that Mr. Rogers paid his wife money
for her support, altuough he lived

Wireless Telegraphy.
A report comes through Consul Gen
eral Gunther of Frankfort to the effect
that the captain of a channel mail
steamer, which is provided with a
wireless telegraphy apparatus, states
tnat on his last trip he received a mes
sage from the officer of the French
lightship, anchored about twenty-five
miles from Dunkirk, stating that he
would be unable to light up the next
night unless help arrived from the
shore. The captain at once sent a
wireless message to La Panne, on the
Belgian coast, from which point it was
forwarded to Dunkirk by the regular
telegraph line, whence a boat was sent
to the lightship and the necessary re
pairs were made.

Henry Clay' ErCan^.
Henry Clay Evans went to the South
j from Pennsylvania several years ago
and grew quite popular in Tennessee,
the state of his adoption. He Las a
strong political following and his
friends have always claimed that he
was elected when he ran for governor,
but was counted out. Mr. Evans has
a good war record. He is about 57
years old and one of the live, pushing
men of Dixie. So well was he thought
of by all classes of persons in Chatta
nooga that he was twice elected mayor
of that town, in 1890 when he ran for
Congress he had a strong Democrat
for an opponent, but although it was
a close race Mr. Evans was elected by
18,641 votes to his opponent's 18,368.

Monument to Terry.
No more striking spectacle could be
imagined than that of the premier of
the new Japan delivering the dedica
tory oration over a monument erected
by Japanese admirers to the memory
of Commander Perry, the bluff Am
erican sailor who in 1853, at the point
of his guns practically forced the open
ing of the first Japanese port to the
shipping of foreign nations. It is sig
nificant that the men of the new Japan
which has been created since that
time are now willing to acknowledge
so handsomely the debt of gratitude
which they owe to the sailor who less
than half a century ago was looked
upon as a foreign interloper. Noth
ing could be in more striking proof of
the great progress in civilization and
enlightenment which the island em
pire has made in the last fifty years.
When Perry, with his two vessels,
sailed into the Bay of Yeddo the Jap
anese governor sent off a fleet of lit
tle boats to warn him to retire. But
he, mindful of the ways of Oriental
diplomacy, hid himself in his cabin and
sent word that the “great admiral"
would hold communication only with
the governor in person, and that if the
swarm of small boats did not get back
to land they would be blown out of
the water. A few days later Commo
dore Perry, surrounded by a glittering
bodyguard, arranged only for its ef
fect on the Japanese mind, was given
an impeial reception on land and de
livered to the royal princess the letters
with which he had been intrusted by
the President of the United States.
Mechanical Calendar.
An amateur artist by the name of
M. Albert Jagat has invented a me
chanical calendar, which indicates the
days, weeks, months, years and even
leap years. The apparatus is wound up
and works like a clock. It consists
principally of a disc and five cog
wheels, which contain a sum total of
ninety-six teeth, three weights and
nine levers. Of the weights, one is

fortnight and one every year. The

Into the room were present on Mon
day when the trial of a Presbyterian
preacher was begun before a commit
tee of the presbytery on charges which
involve his standing as a decent man
as well as a minister. The surprise
is not occasioned by the fact that so
many women were present, for there
will always be plenty of people
anxious to attend any hearing at
which prurient or sensational testi
mony is expected. But as it is cer
tainly within the power of the mem

certainly expect that they would be
i the first to take such action.

steers on sale were picked up lit an early
hour at prices that looked fully a dime
higher, and In some cast s more. As com
pared whh the (lose of last week prices
are now fully as good as they were then,
and sales were made that looked higher
than the same kind of cattle sold for on
last Friday. There were very few cows
and heifers on sale and practically noth

buyers acted good stuff was evidently In
good demand and would probably have
sold a little higher. Even the common
stuff that was offered sold a little higher
In some cases. Bulls, calves and stags
were all In very light supply and the few
on sale sold as they did yesterday. Stock
ers and feeders were also scarce today
and prices improved. In extreme case*
they sold as much as 20c higher, though
10@15o would cover the advance In most
cases. Cattle that were carried over from

20c higher than the best bids reoeived

inputs TO HIS CRITICS.
Declare* Ife If** No Anlmni Against
the Admiral.
NEW YORK, July 20.—Edgar S.
Maclay replied to the criticism which
has been made on his historical works
dealing with Admiral Schley and the
navy during the Spanish war. He said
in part:
"I did not appreciate at the time I
wrote the book that the terms were
immoderate and intemperate. It is Y
only recently that it has met with ad
verse criticism. It is now my Intention
to revise that portion of the work
that deals with the battle of San
tiago. But I shall not alter the facts,
for they are correct, and I must first
be assured that they are in error. Tin
proofs were submitted to the officers
who took part in the battle of San
tiago, as well as to Secretary Long,
and received their approval. I should
explain that only those portions of
the book were submitted to eaNi of
ficer that related to him personal'y
or to the part he took In the battle.
‘‘I have no animus against Admiral
Schley.”
