All statute at present in force Discing aur responsibility ou fa loon keepers for felling to minora or after le gal hours, and for all other breaches of tbe law, are to be repealed, and tbe so loon keeper is to take tbe following oath "I solemnly swear that I w ill uot cell idt intoxicating liquors during the con tmnunreof Ihia license, except iu tho right of aud under the police soiervi liou and direction of tbe deputy sheriff. and I will faithfully obey bia iustroc tinns in all matters that affect or con cern tbe police supervision of the drarn- ibop I it which I have a license.

Every oue in the saloon is to be subject to the call of the deputy for assistance in preserviug oruer.

Be argues that "the only way we can expect to see our laws executed and obeyed is to muke it to tbe pecuniary iuteref t of the party iutrusted with their observance and execution. " He doesn't think people will obey the law just because it is right so to do until the milleunium arrives. So be would muke it pay both Uie saloon keeper to obey the law and the deputy to fee thut the law is obeyed aud muke tbe penalty severe and sure. New York Sun. Fully Armed.

"Do you know anything about the Browns?" he asked at last "What do you want to know?" In quired his wife. "I have met Mrs. Brown a number of times and ahe seems to be a very pleasant, well-bred woman, who" "Ob, I don't care anything about that," Interrupted the physician quick ly. "I was thinking about Mr. Brown's financial condltfou." I think he pays his bills very prompt ly." I know he does." exclaimed the physician, impatiently. "But Is he re ally a wealthy man, or Is he only mod erately well off?" I don't see what business that Is of yours, suggested uls wire. "I want to presenile for bis wife." "What Is the matter with her?" "Nothing. That's Just the trouble. She complains of a feeling of lassitude and all that, and I must humor her or oee all the business of the family." "I don't Just see " "Oh, of course you don't. You've been a doctor's wife for ten years, and you don't know anything about the busi ness yet." But what effect can his wealth bare opon your prescription?" Why, the whole Thing depends upon that In a case like this. If I have no dea how much he is worth, bow nm I to know whether to advise a trip to Europe or a little exercise?" The Devil's Dozen. In all tbe civilized countries of the world thirteen Is referred to as being somebody's "doxen." In America, Aus tralia. Great Britain (present day) and several other lands that number is said to be a "baker's dozen." In Italy It Is referred to as the" "cobbler's dozen," there being a tradition that there was formerly a law which comiielled cob- iters to put twelve tacks or nails around the edge of a boot heel. Final ly, when nails became cheap, a center nail was driven for "luck." That nail was, of course, the thirteenth, and In order to break the spell of that unlucky number, tbe number In the heel was never spoken of as being more tban an even dozen. In old England thirteen was called "the devil's dozen," but ex actly why Is not kuown. The Pope's Book Not la It. Mgr. Merry del VaL the Tope's pri vate chamberlain, denies that a book of Tope I-eo's Is In the Index Ex purgatorlus. The author of the book on the sanctiflcatlon of the blood of the Virgin was Dot Cardinal Tecel, but a canon of the cathedral of Terugla when the Tope was Archbishop, who wrote the book while Insane. It was published without authority, and the Archbishop did his best to suppress It even before It was put in the Index. IT WILL COME BACK. Tbe Kctara of the Hustle Kdlct of Faohkm.

The bell extends approximately half its length above the top of the hopper when the bell is In closed poeldon, and when the bell Is In the lowermost posi tion Its upper cylindrical portion pro jects above the upper surface of the hopper, and all danger of the valve's I being clogged or affected by the con- teuts of the hopper Is avoided, the valve being thus fsee to ojierate at all times. Tb Use of Water Io Forging. Tbe forging of round steel bars under fhe steam hammer has been perfected to such a degree that ereu thin bars of tool ateel may be forged without trou ble. To give a polished surface to the ateel a new procedure Is being applied in some German foundries. By direct ing a thin stream of water upon the surface of the steel Immediately ex- rtixo water is moa roaoixe. poaed to the blow of the hammer, the oxide forming on the surface through die action of the blow is chipped off, and the burning In of the oxide Is there by prevented. Tbe surface of steel thus forged presents the appearance of finely polished tool steel. CofiVe Brewing.

Tbe process of preparing coffee berries) for market was now briefly explained to me by this kiud acquaintance. When gathered, red and round as cherries, the berries are subjected to tho only ma chine used thioughout the work. This is not uulike a nutmeg grater, or grat ers, which free the twin beans inside the berry from their fleby covering, leaving them clean and blue. They are then sun dried, and on the best planta tions this is done by spreading them on barbecues, or cement terraces, sloped so as to allow the rain to run off quickly, having gutters all aronud and one raised place in the middle. Tbe beans are rak ed constantly to expose all of them in torn to the aun, but should there be any signs of rain coming over the sky the whole crop is gathered with haste into a hn in the raised center, and a shelter J bouse on wheels is drawn over the ber ties while the bad weather lasts. Last I of all, tbe berries are hand picked with , care, and the finest are put aside, Corn i bill Magazine. i Prectml Adrtee. "Keep your temper, laddie.

Ilurm At twheri to tire Kcli.e at the Colam bleo relrbrmtloa In firm York Did !ot Show Aa? PnuIIu Sjmptmni at rirt. Ronndsnnu Edward E. Oriflcuhngcu, abohiiabeen undergoing treatment in Austria for a nervous maladv that has puzzled physicians in this conntry and in Kurope, returned to New York six weeks ago. Griffeuhagen was anxious. because of the notoriety thut his case has gained, that bis arrivul should not be known, nud although be bus siuco srpeurvd before the Academy of Medi cine few of his old frieuds outhe police force know that he ia iu this country. The profound physical shark from which his illness dates wss received ou Oct. 12, 18H2. during the Columbian re It bn tion iu New York, through au act of heroism that won him promotiou. CSrif fenhagen was at tbat time a patrolman, aud he was assigned to dutyou thut day iu Union square on the line of murcb of the big parade. As tho New York fire department di vision wheeled into sight after the Grand Army posts engine 9, one of the largest in the city, swung out of tbe liue of machines ou either side of the street and into the open rpace iu the middle. Three big bays drew it, aud the driver made the turu from Fourth avenue into the plaza w ith his horses ou tbe gallop. From the press stand it looked like a little funcy exhibition. That was the way it impressed every body at first. Dowu between the lines dashed the three bays, aud before it passed the cottage stand tbe driver ihouted to a policeman : "They've got the bits." The three bays went plunging by as it to a fire. Union square and the side itreets, except for the narrow lice through which the parade wus moving, were packet! with thousands of specta tors. Poiicemau Griffenhageu, who was on the north side of the plaza, heard tbe driver's cry. As the galloping horses approached, he fcxik a short run aud jumped for the bridle of the off horse. Uriffenhngen canght the bit with bis right band. Hud he not been a well trained athlete his jump might have landed him beneath the horses' feet. The poiicemau held ou, aud the bays tore ahead as if nothing bad happened. Uriffeuhagen wus dragged for half a block. Sometimes he was swinging iu the air. Thut was when tbe big bay would throw bis head high up. At other times bia legs were swinging under the horse's body. The policeman's grip was firm. As the heavy engine approached Seventeenth street two dozen policemen, who had been keeping the crowd back, sprang forward and fell ou the bays. The horses tore along for 60 feet more, and then came to a stop. They were halted within a dozen feet of the crowd that could not be pushed back any fur ther, (iriffeuhageu wus the lust muu to release his hold. He was made a rounds man on thefollowiug day iu recognition of his bravery. Uriffeuluigeu received no physical in jury, apparently, beyond a severe nerv ous shock. Dr. Charles E. Namuiack, surgeon of police, iu describing his case iu the lust uumber of The Medical Rec ord, shjs: "One week later he wus obliged to consult his family physiciuu on account of a severe pain iu the chest. He was treated for two mouths without relief, tud then went to Dr. Looinis, whose di agnosis was strain and shuck, and who ordered him absolute rest. In the spring of 1894 he consulted Dr. C. L. Dana, who advised him to go to Germany for hydropathic treatment. Ho accordingly obtained leave of absence, went to Europe, aud saw Dr. Luydeu of Berlin, w ho sent bim to Thalheim. Griffenhageu is now 34 years eld aud apparently in good health. His case is one of traumatic neurasthenia and its symptoms are nniqna When a reporter saw him, he was walking iu the luue back of his bouse. His weight hus fallen from 830 pounds to 185. Before joining the police force Griffcnhngcu wus a gymnasium instructor iu 1'rovidence, aud be says bis 230 pouuds wus wcsitly bone and muscle. Uriffeuhagen remained on duty for a short time after his promotion, uud then tbe symptoms thut indicated the seri ousness of his nervous shock b guu to develop. He first noticed a (liuiliuslied power of pf rsisteut meutul aud physical application. Then came nervous Irrita bility and mental exaltation. The reit eration of the story of his heroism worked him up to a pitch of excitement foreign to hit temperament. He suffered from pain iu the chest and weakness in the legs. Uriffeuhagen was slow to yield to these symptoms. When Uriffeuhagen was exumiued a month ago, it was found thut his pain and temperature sense was normal. His tactile sensibility is impaired, however. He cannot distinguish a peucil point from tbe end of bis finger. His hearing is not diminished, but he cannot listen to band concerts, which be formerly eujoyed, without pain. His heart action is weak, and his musclta are easily fatigued. A slight irritation of his skin lewis to persistent redness. Dr. Naramack says : "The dlugumls in this case lies between traumatic neur asthenia, traumatic hysteria aud simu lation. Tbe last was excluded by the absence of - motive therefor, absence of striking symptoms aud absence of efforts to exaggerate existing slight symptoms. Hysteria was excluded by tbe absence cf ansrathesia or other stigmata of hys teria, such as paralysis, contracture or spasm, and absence of paroxysmal phe nomena. Although the case has now continued for over three years, improve ment has been i lowly progressiva He baa bad none of the vexatious aud ex citement incident to medioo legal cases of this character.

Her first wounded patient w as a Scotch hrpberd di-g. Some bo)s had hurt and :ppuroitly trokru its leg by throwing stones, uud It had been decided to baug It to put it out of its misery. The little girl went fearlessly up to where he lay, saying, ins soft, caressing tone, "Poor Cap, iks Cap." It was ruough. He looked up with his speak ing brown eyes, now bloodshot and full tf paiu, into ber face, aud did uot te tout it when, kueeliug down beside him, she stri ked with ber little un gloved hand the laige, intelligent Lead. To the vicar, he wus rather less amenable, but by dint i f coaxing be at lost allowed him to touch and examine the wounded leg, Florence persuasively telling him thut it was "all right." In deed, she was on the floor beside him, With bis head on her lap, keeping up a continuous murmur, much as a mother does over a sick child "Well, "said the vicar, rising from his examination, "aa far us I rau tell, there are no bones bro ken; the leg is bt.dly bruised. It ought to be fomented to luke the inflammation and swelling dowu. " "How do yon foment?" asked Florence. "With hot cloths dipped in boiling water," an swered the vicar. "Then that's quite easy. I'll stay and do it. Now, Jimmy, get sticks and make the kettle boiL " There was no limitation in the child's manner. She was told what ought to be done, and she set about doing it as a simple mutter of course. "But they will be expecting you at home," said the vicar. "Not if yon tell them I'm here," answered Florence, "and my sister and oue of tbe maids can come and take me home iu time for tea, and," she hesitat ed, "they bad better bring some old flan nel aud cloths; there does uot seem to be much here. But yon will wait and show me bow to foment, won't you?" "Well, yes," said tbe vicar, carried away by the quirk energy of the little git L. And soon the fire was lit and the water boiling. An old smock frock of the shepherd's had beeu discovered in a corner, which Florence bad deliberately turn in pieces, and to the vicar's remsrk, "What will Roger say?" she answered, "We'll get him another." Aud so Flor ence Nightiugale made her first com press and spent all that bright spring day in nursing her first patient the shepherd's dog. Everywhere. USES OF OZONE. Tnloablo For ArtlOcUUl Aging Liejner er Sraaontng Weed. Ozone Is now practically applied for several purposes. Experiments with it have shown that it will artificially age brandy, whisky, sweet and hard wines and liquors. Otoue will also improve coffee by rendering harmless oily beans. The aroma of tobacco is also considera bly improved by the application of ozone. The latest application of it is for rupid seasoning of wood for sounding boards of musical instruments, which for the purpose is left in a hermetically closed, heated room from 19 to 84 bourn, ozouified air being freely intro duced iuto tbe room. It seems that this process will harden the wood, iucreuse its resistance against tho influence of temperature and moisture and give it considerably more acoostio or resound ing quality. Another recent application of ozouified air is that of the thickening of linseed oil for the manufacture of linoleum, which by the old process took several months. By the liberal use of ozoua linseed oil ia now thickened to the re quired consistency within a few days. Meet remarkable, however, is the ad vantage of employing ozone for bleach ing lineu, since the time employed is less than one-third of tbe bleaching proc ess by sunlight, not considering that this latter is dependeut both upon the season aud the weather. The ozone proc ess of blenching renders the work abso lutely independent of outside Influence. Ozone bas also been fonnd very valua ble In chemical aud techuica) processes, particularly in the production of pure derivatives of starch, for instance, solu ble starch, dextrin, crystal gum, eta Here the ozoue is instrumental in tak ing away all the matter which causes the dark color, bad odor and taste. Philadelphia Record. Hotel Kleptomaniacs. I was talking to a hotel clerk, and he said: "Talk about klcptomaniucs at dry goods stores, they are scarcely a circum stance to those at a first class hotel. People who cheerfully pay !i a day for board will steal a 10 o ut cuke of soap and put themselves to a great deal of trouble to do it. But the principal things gnests tske are towels, and the collection of those articles bas become a regular fad. They are taken aa souve nirs of the hotel, aud. a lady who baa traveled a great deal will have a whole troukfol with the names of the hotels on them. Tbis is conclusive proof that they have stopped at those bouses, and a person whose towels bear tbe marks of hotels throughout the civilized world is to be envied aa possessing a most inter esting collection of mementos.

Yon ! baptize it as yon would a child, giving 1 it the full name of your enemy. While j yon are committing this sacrilege yon I must endeavor to work yourself up iuto ! a paroxysm of hut nil toward your vic tim, aud you must sandwich the sacra mental wordi with the most horrible ' imprecations.
