A Charge of Cruelty.
From time to time unfounded
charges of cruelty are made against
nurses, especially those engaged In
mental as. mis. A striking Instance
occurred recently In the case of a nurse
at a county asylum. She was on visit
ing room duty, and a newcomer was
asking people who hud been visitors
for some time as to the treatment of
the patients.
"Oh," was the reply, "they treats the
poor souls cruel here. Why, they gives
'em a bath every week!"

THE LOBSTER'S SHELL.
A New One In Orovrn Before the OK
One In CnM Oft.
Odd as It may sound to say no, the
lobster grows before, not after, ho
casts his old hurd shell that Is to .ny,
liiT makes new cells and tissues, which
aro not at once filled out, but which
are Intended to swell to their full di
mensions as soon as he has got rid of
his binding and confining external skel
eleton. When tho critical moment at
Inst arrives a new soft shell grows en
tiro within tho older and harder one,
and tho animal then withdraws him
self, leg by leg, claw by claw and
Hwhnmerct by swlmmeret, out of the
enveloping coat of r.iall which covers
him. The shedding of the old coat Is
complete and absolute. Not a frag
ment remains. Even the apparently In
ternal hard portions arc cast off with
tho rest, for the entire covering forms
ono clntiuuous piece, the Interior por
tions being really, so to speak, folds of
the skin inserted Inward.
An entirely new skeleton had already
grown within the old one, but exceed
ingly soft and flexible In texture, and
the body becomes bo almost fluid or
Jellylike not In structure, but In pow
er of compression and extension that
even the big claws are drawn out
through the narrower apertures of the
joints In a perfectly marvelous man
ner. After a longer or shorter period
of muscular paroxysm the soft lobster
at last disengages Itself entirely from
the dead shell and emerges upon the
world a new and defenseless fleshy
creature. The whole cask skeleton, un
ruptured In any part, but disengaged
by lifting up the body piece where It
joins the tall, looks exactly like an en
tire dead lobster.
A FORTUNATE MISTAKE.
The Re.alt of Patting a Couple of
Wire. In Wrong Terminal.
A large number of the world's great
est inventions have been the result of
some accidental union of forces tho
nature of which the person who start
ed them neither understood nor sus
pected. The working of dynamos at
long distances apart when properly
connected was discovered by accident.
A scientific journal says: "Soon after
the opening of the Vienna exposition
in 1873 a careless workman picked up
the ends of a couple of wires which he
found ti ailing along the ground. He
fastened them in the terminals of a
dynamo, to which he thought they bo
longed, while they were really attach
ed to another dynamo that was run
nlng In another part of the grounds.
The dynamo to which he fastened the
wires was not running, but as Boon as
the wires were placed In Its terminals
it revolved as If a steam engine was
driving it. The workman was amazed.
The engineers and electricians were
astonished by the discovery that a dy
namo electric machine (turned by
steam power) would turn another sim
ilar machine n long distance away If
properly connected to It by electric
wires. Thus originated one of the
most revolutionary applications of elec
tricity." The fact that power can be transmit
ted for miles bylectrlc wires Is one
of the most Important factors In mod
ern civil engineering achievements.
