AGONY. =—
The maalc ceased, the curtain rose,
' I did not heed the play,
Bnt gazed upon her lovely face—
She sat two scats away.
Her cheeks like tluted apple bloom.
Her teeth Ilko gleaming pearls.
Her eyes as blue as summer skies,
A wealth of golden curls.
And as I gazed upon her face
There came a look of pain.
Like cloudy shadow o’er the land
It passed, then camo again.
I saw the teardrops in her eyes.
The rose tint fade away,
And that fair cheek grow deathly pale
In speechless agony.
She turned and touched her escort’s arm.
Then slowly went away.
My heart beat fast with sympathy.
I did not heed the play.
He soon returned and took his seat.
I gazed in great surprise.
He read the question I would ask
Flash from my eager eyes.
And as the music died away
His lips this answer bore:
“My sister’s feet are number five.
Her shoes are number four.”

“You will not find one woman in a
hundred who is familiar with the rules
of heraldry,” saida fashionable stationer.
• “Ladies insist on having crests embossed
on their writing paper, even when I tell
them that they are permitted by the
usages of centuries to use only the arms.
A handsome woman came in the store
one day and said, ‘Mr. B-, I wish you
would put a crest and arms on my paper.’
I knew it would be useless to argue
about the crest, and so I asked her,
‘Have you any crest with you?’ ‘Oh, no!
I haven’t any,’ she answered. ‘You can
make a nice one, can’t you?’ I learned
that her husband was a grain dealer, sc
for a crest I designed a sheaf of wheat.
For the arms I designed some hawk
heads on a shield, and she was delighted.’’
Women who are interested in these
things should observe the regulations set
down for the use of spinsters, married
women and widows. A specified frame
for the arms should he used by each.
The spinster is required to put her fam
ily arms into a diamond frame, with
very simple adornment. When a wom
an marries, the arms of her family must
be put on the same shield with the arms
of her husband. The shield is impaled,
the wife's arms occupying one position
and the husband's the other. If she be
comes a widow, the frame for her arms
again assumes the form of a diamond,
symbolizing her unmarried state, while
her arms and the arms of her deceased
husband remain impaled as formerly.—

Felling Trees by Electricity.
Trees are felled by electricity in the
great forests of Galicia. For cutting
comparatively soft woods the tool is in
the form of an auger, which is mounted
on a carriage, and is moved to and fro
and revolved at the same time by a small
electric motor. As the cut deepens,
wedges are inserted to prevent the rift
from closing, and when the tree is near
ly cut through an ax or handsaw is used
to finish the work. In this way trees are
felled very rapidly and with but little
labor.—London Tit-Bits.
Growth of the English Language.
In the year 1794 the habitual users of
the English language did not number
•ver 15,000,000; iu 1892, 105,000,000. If
these figures are correct (and they are
from a recognized authority), by the end
•f the present century not less than 120,
000,000 people will use the language in
their everyday conversation. If the
same ratio of increase holds good, Eng
lish will be spoken by at least 840,000,000
of people in the year 2000.—St. Lonis
Republic. \
One Child's Vocabulary.
The statement that a child 54 years of
age would not have more than 150 words
in its vocabulary that it was able to use
understandingly led a careful mother to
note for a month the number of words
used by her child. All the parts of
speech used were recorded, with the re
sult that in this case the child appeared
to have a vocabulary of 1,528 words.—

TRIALS OF A TICKET MAN.
H« Can £n4are All bat the Questions ol
People Who Never Travel. %
A prominent Pittsburg passengei
agent, in a conversation with a reporter
of that city, gave a few interesting fact*
relative to the everyday experience oi
the average city passenger man, which
those not directly connected with the
business know nothing about. He said
“It is a singular fact the number oi
people who visit our office daily and the
curious questions they ask with regard
to railroad rates, etc., when very often
they have no notion whatever of leaving
the city and as a matter of fact have not
traveled any worth mentioning. For six
years there has been a very singular char
acter who has made an annual visit to
this office. I have no idea from whenct
he cometh or whither he goeth, but he
always asks the selfsame questions and
goes away apparently satisfied with the
information he has received. I always
expect him in the springtime, generally
about the 1st of April, when the sun’s
rays grow warmer.
“Then my quaint old friend comes to
see me. I should judge him to be at
least 80 years of age. He is stooped and
feeble, with hair as white as snow, but
well dressed, wears a silk hat and carries
a cane and talks in a nervous, jerky
manner. He invariably opens up with,
‘What’s the rate to Boston?’ I tell him,
and his eyes light up as he waddles out
with always the same observation. ‘Well,
by gum, that’s cheap! cheap!’ If theold
man wonld tell his story, it might havt
a tinge of pity in it. Perhaps he has .■>
son or daughter in the Hub City whom it
has been his cherished hope to see for all
these years.
“lhe biggest out and out nuisance wt
have to deal with are persons who corns
here with no otfi^r intention than to col
lect all the railroad literature they can.
They have no notion of going away, but
thay grab everything in sight in the way
of time tables and other information
bearing on tourists’ points in the north,
east, south and west. They greedily
gather pamphlets, circulars and book
lets treating on climate and resources.
I don’t know what these collectors dc
with the stuff they get here, but some oi
them must have a prize assortment.
“Then the man who travels from one
end of the country to the other is the
person who invariably pushes into the
office and in a brusk manner asks for a
time table of the line he is about tc
take. It is given him, • of course, and
without so much as glancing at the
schedule it is stuffed into his pocket,
and his next question is, ‘When does my
first train leave?’ It never seems to oc
cur to him to look on the time table. Sc
it goes. Sometimes people ask me ques
tions until I’m afraid the buttons will
drop off my coat, but after all we man
age to get along with our patrons re
markably well.”—Pittsburg Post.
A Biblical Conundrum.
A good story is told of the horsy son
of an English clergyman. He was on an
important occasion to meet the bishop of
Lincoln at dinner, and as it was desir
able that a favorable impression should
*be made on his lordship his father beg
ged he would be favorable to the bishop
and do his best to draw him out, as he
was unusually strong in Biblical lore.
During the early part of the banquet
matters went on well enough, the young
man saying little, but watching for an
opportunity to open his full batteries.
At length a pause in the general conver
sation took place, and while the com
pany was all attention he thus addressed
the bishop:
“Might I venture to ask your lordship
a question relative to a point mentioned
in the Old Testament which has puzzled
me a good deal?”
“Oh, certainly—quite happy,” replied
the dignitary, feeling quite in his ele
ment.
“Then I should be glad to have your
lordship’s opinion as to how long it took
Nebuchadnezzar to get into condition
after he had been out to grass?”—Boston
Herald.
Nervous Sinters.
The effects of nervousness are varied
and amusing. One young mezzo soprano
was prevented just in time from walking
on to the platform in a huge pair of fur
lined overshoes, which were put on above
her slippers, and which contrasted com
ically with her dainty gown.
Another songstress, who was gifted
with a good verbal memory, was singing
without note. During a rather elaborate
symphony preceding the second verse of
her song she chanced idly to glance at
the book of words which she was hold
ing. Confusion followed. She could not
link the melody with the poem. It was
a terrible moment, but she stepped swift
ly to the piano, glanced at the accom
panist’s copy and finished her song con
amore. It appeared on inspection that
by a printer’s error two lines of her song
had been left out of the book of words.
This had confused her and was the cause
of her failure to blend words and music
together.—Atalanta.
Tile Young Moon.
The editor of The Popular Science
Monthly takes certain imaginative writ
ers to task for their unscientific and ab
surd statements regarding “the young
moon” and “the crescent moon” and ad
vises them to leave it alone, because they
so often contrive to get it in the wrong
place. In a story which has come under
his notice he finds two friends described
as sitting out one summer evening look
ing over the Thames, and the writer goes
on to say, “By this time the young moon
had arisen, and its cold light shimmered
over the misty river.” Such writers are
reminded that the young moon goes to
bed early and can never be seen in the
process of rising.
Palmy Days For Cats.
The palmy days for cats were in the
times of Egypt’s power as a nation, some
500 years B. C. They were held then as
sacred as dogs or crocodiles, and death
was the penalty for killing them. From
their nocturnal habits and glossy fur, the
Egyptians deemed them symbolical of the
moon, and a golden cat was worshiped
at Syeae.—New York Sun.
AN EFFECTIVE MADSTONE.
How It Adtiero to the Body and Hack*
Out All the Poison.
Nearly every one has heard more or
I less about madstonfi and the wonderful
cures with which they are credited in
saving life where a person had been bit
i ten by a mad dog. Many regard these
stones as a inert; superstition, but statis
! tic* go to prove that they really do con
| tain many wonderful properties. Mad
; stones are seldom heard of anywhere ex
cept in the southern states, where they
are quite common, and most of the peo
' pie of that section place great faith in
; them. Mrs J. M. Parks, a lady resid
ing in this city, is the possessor of one
| of these remarkable stones, and a report
j er called on her to learn something about
; them.
“Yes,” she said when questioned on
the subject, “I have a madstone and
have had it many years. My husband
found it near Magnesia Springs, Fla. 1
have only had occasion to use it three oi
four times since it has been in my pos
session, and each time the best results
followed. The reason that I have not
used it often is that I never hear of a case
where a person has been bitten by a mad
dog until I see it in the paper, and then
it has always been stated that the pa
tient has been taken with convulsions.
It is too late to use the madstone then.
Spasms do not generally appear until
I about nine days after the person is bit
ten, and if the stone is applied any time
j previous to the convulsions the poison
will be entirely drawn out by it.
“The worst case I ever cured with my
madstone happened when a policeman
here in the city, named Price, was bit
ten on the hand by a mad dog. His arm
had swollen up to three or four times its
natural size and had turned black. The
man was suffering the most excruciat
ing agony, and his physicians had de
spaired of his life. I accidentally heard
of his case and at once hurried to the
house with my madstone. The doctor
consented to give it a trial, and the re
sult was that the man recovered and is
now walking around the streets as well
as ever.”
Upon the reporter’s asking if he might
see the stone Mrs. Parks immediately
produced it, remarking as she did so,
“It does not look nearly as powerful as
it really is.”
It is a little, porous, chalklike sub
stance about an inch long, half an inch
wide and a quarter of an inch thick
and appeared to be a sort of vegetable
compound.
“The process of applying the mad
stone,” continued Mrs. Parks, “is very
simple and somewhat similar to vaccina
tion. You select some part of the body
between the bite and the heart and with
a sharp knife scrape the skin till the
blood comes, then apply the stone to the
raw spot. The stone will adhere imme
diately, and its drawing qualities are so
great that it will almost bury itself in
the flesh, sucking out the poison until all
the pores of the stone are filled with the
deadly virus. The stone then drops off
of its own accord, and after being thor
oughly cleansed with milk, warm water
and soap is applied again. This is kept
up till the stone refuses to stick, thereby
showing that all the poison has been
drawn out.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The Sting of the Nettle.
The leaf and stem of a nettle are lit
erally clothed with erect hollow hairs.
If one of these hairs is viewed under a
microscope, it will be seen that its free
end, after tapering to a very fine degree
of slimness, finishes as a little knob,
while in the other direction, after grad
ually becoming more robust, it suddenly
expands into a large bulb, corresponding
with the poison gland of the adder.
The point of the hair is very brittle,
and contact with our skin causes the end
to snap off, leaving a hollow needle point
which readily pierces our cuticle, and
pressing upon the bulb at the other end
the poison is forced through the central
channel and inflames our blood. The
tender handed who stroke the nettle' are
stung for their pains, because their gen
tleness has only served to break the brit
tle points and rendering them fit for
piercing, but the rough handed break
the hairs at their thickest parts, where
they are too stout to prick.—Good
Words.
“Boil Down” Everything!
The taste for short stories, in place of
the ancient three volume novel, has been
cultivated even in conservative England
and has become so widespread in the
United States that very few periodicals
which deal in fiction at all are without
their stories begun and finished in a sin
gle issue. The talent required to pro
duce a fascinating and successful fiction
in this narrow compass is a peculiar one,
and while there are numerous failures
there are also a surprising number of
successes. Well written, descriptive ar
ticles, too, are in demand, and special
cravings for personal gossip and lively
sketches of notable living characters are
manifest. That perennial interest which
mankind and womankind evince in ev
ery individual whose name, for whatev
er reason, has become familiar supplies
a basis for an inexhaustible series of
light paragraphic articles.—New York
Journal.

HOW AN AX IS MADE.
The Numerou* Proceases It Undergoes In
the Course of Manufacture.
On entering the main workshop the
first step in the operation which is seen
is the formation of the ax head without
the blade. The glowing flat iron bars
are withdrawn from the furnace and are
taken to a powerful and somewhat com
plicated machine, which performs upon
them four distinct operations, shaping
the metal to form the upper and lower
part of the ax, then the eye, and finally
doubling the piece over so that the whole
, can be welded together. Next the iron
! is put in a powerful natural gas furnace
; and heated to a white heat. Taken out,
| it goes under a tilt hammer and is weld
I ed in a second. This done, one blow
j from the “drop." and the poll of the ax
I is completed and firmly welded. Two
crews of men are doing tills class of
work, and each crew can make 1,500 axes
per day.
When the ax leaves the drop, there is
some superfluous metal still adhering to
the edge3 and forming what is technic
ally known as a “fin.” To get *rid of
the fin the ax is again heated in a fur
nace and then taken in hand by a saw
yer, who trims the ends and edges. The
operator has a glass in front of him to
protect I113 eyes from the sparks which
fly off by the hundreds as the hot metal
is pressed against the rapidly revolving
saw. The iron part of the ax is now
complete. The steel for the blade, after
being heated, is cut by machinery and
shaped. It is then ready for the welding
.department. A groove is cut into the
edge of the iron, the steel of the blade
inserted, and the whole firmly welded
by machine hammers.
Next comes the operation of temper
ing. The steel portion of the ax is heat
ed by being inserted in pots of molten
lead, the blade only being immersed. It
is then cooled by dipping in water and
goes to the nands of the inspector. An ax
is subject to rigid tests before it is pro
nounced perfect. The steel must be of
the required temper, the weight of all
axes of the same size must be uniform,
all must be ground alike and in various
other ways conform to an established
standard. The inspector who tests the
quality of the steel does so by hammering
the blade and striking the edge to ascer
tain whether it be too brittle or not. An
ax that breaks during the tests is thrown
aside to be made over.
uerore tne material ot tne ax is m tne
proper shape it has been heated five
times, including the tempering process,
and the ax, when completed, has passed
through the hands of about 40 workmen,
each of whom has done something
toward perfecting it. After passing in
spection, the axes go to the grinding de
partment, and from that to the polish
ers, who finish them upon emery wheels.

The Way to Get Old.
To the banale and eternal question,
“How are you?” the wise old man allows
himself but one answer, “I am very
well.” He knows perfectly well that his
innocent deception, if deception it be,
deceives no one. Perhaps it is well that
he does not realize, for of self conscious
ness we have enough and to spare, that
the remembrance of his fortitude, pigeon
holed and forgotten perhaps for long
years in the mind of the listener, may
come forth one day to hearten that same
listener along the cruel way when it shall
be his turn to tread it.
For so are accounts carried forward
and not always to the wrong side of the
page, and if it is true that the sins of the
parents are visited on the children it is
equally true that the luster of their vir
tues shines on long after the darkness
has covered them. Is he of those who
desire pity for their falling power? The
surest way of getting it is to keep si
lence.
Almost as important and almost as
much neglected is the care for personal
appearance. After 60 vanity of the per
son should be carefully cultivated. After
60 coxcombry in a man and coquetry in
a woman become cardinal points. Can
it be said that the old as a rule so con
sider them?—Contemporary Review.
Wliat a First Class Fare Means.
There are some people who imagine
that wealth entitles them to privileges
not accorded to the general public and
exempts them from obligations and rules
that others are disposed to obey. An inci
dent which occurred on one of our ocean
steamers conveys a wholesome lesson to
the purse proud contemners of the rights
of the majority. A family of unlimited
wealth had secured the best accommo
dation the steamer afforded.
The gentleman and his wife kept them
selves secluded most of the time, but the
children were allowed to run wild over
the steamer until they became such in
tolerable nuisances that the captain was
spoken to, and he gave the youngsters a
severe reprimand. This roused the in
dignation of the mother, who remarked
to the captain that as she paid first class
fare she thought she was entitled to
first class privileges.
“Madam,” said the captain, “first class
fare means first class conduct.” There
was no further protest.—London Tit
Bits.
Florida Style of Eating Oranges.
There are many ways of eating or
anges, but the Floridian has probably
the most common sense way of disposing
of the fruit. He uses a sharp knife and
pares th* orange much the same as one
would peel an apple, taking care not to
cut through the white rind that protects
the pulp. Then holding the orange at
the poles and cutting through the cen
ter the seed pods are removed. The rest
is easy. As a colored boy in Jackson
ville said, “Put yoah face in it and eat
till you come to the rind."—New York

SURROUNDED isi MYSTERY!
A Great Mistake.
A recent discovery Is that headache,
dizziness, dullness, confusion of the mind,
etc., are due to derangement of the norvo
centers which supply the brain with nerve
force; that indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia,
wind in stomach, etc., arise from the derange
ment of the nerve centcrssupplylng those or
gans with nerve fluid or forco. This is likewise
true of mauy diseases of the heart und lungs.
The nerve system is like a telegraph system,
as will be seen by the accompanying
cut. The little /TJt&v
white Hues are
the nerves which
convey the nerve
force from the
nerve centers to
every part of the
body, just as the
electrfccurrentls
conveyed along
the telegraph
wires to every
station, large or
small. Ordinary
physicians fall to
regard this fact;
Instead of treat
ing the nerve cen
ters for the cause
o f the disorders
arising therefrom
they treat the
part affected.
Franklin Miles,
M. I) , LL. B., the
highly celebrated
specialist and
stuaent or nervous diseases, ana auinor
of many noted treatises on the latter subject,
long since realized the truth of the first
statement, and his Restorative Nervine
is prepared on that principle. Its success
in curing all diseases arising from derange -
ment of the nervous system is wonder
ful, as the thousands of unsolicited testimo
nials in possession of the company manufac
turing tno remedy amply prove.
