PERIL IN THE HAND-SHAKE.
K.it lomr a.co Dr. J. X. Hirsoh, of Chicago,
iaiil: "Tho r.iu: t ilelioate perfume upon the
luuuls is not a :'u of freedom from serins,
ami the most refined are not fue from dis
rate of lutis or throat, and the germs are
rapidly spiead by touching the hand that
has handled the handkerchief of one afflict
ed with a cold, catarrh or consumption.
The breath one inhales from the lungs of
another may contain germs cf disease." You
will not only be able to resist the germs of
consumption, but many thousands of cases
Lave been known where persons who were
suffering from incipient phthisis, or the
early stages of consumption were absolutely
cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. It maintains a person's nutrition
by enabling him to eat, retain, digest and
assimilate food. It overcomes the gastric
irritability and symptoms of indigestion,
and thus the person is saved from those
symptoms of fever, night-sweats, headache,
etc., which are so common.
An alterative extract like Dr. Pierce'
Golden Medical Discovery, made of roots
and herbs, without the use of alcohol, will
assist the Btomach in assimilating or taking
up from the food such elements as are
required for the blood, will assist the liver
in throwing off the poisons in the system.
Do not permit some designing druggist
to insult your intelligence by offering you
a remedy which he claims is "just as good"
because he made it up himself, or ten
chances to one you will get a medicine
made up largely of alcohol, which will
only weaken the system.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is heartly recommended by every person
who has ever used it and it has stood the
test of thirty-eight years of approval from
people all over the United States.

Chooalng a Drag Saw.
In choosing a saw hold It up clear of
everything with one hand and ring the
Trtade with the other, says American
Cultivator. li will hum where your
knuckles hit it, according to the tem
per and quality of carbon In the blade.
The longer it hums or vibrates the bet
ter the quality of the steel. Then look
down the teeth from end to end and
see that the blade Is straight and look
along on the flat of both sides to see
that It is not "bumpy" that Is, hollow
in some places and full in others. This
is a great drawback to a saw, as it
pulls hard through the full spots or
bumps, knocking against the cut ends
as It runs through the log. It Is a
fault very hard to detect in a new
saw; in an old one very easy, as the
bumps show bright and polished from
knocking and the hollows dull from es
caplng the friction. See that the saw
is not too thick or it wastes too much
strength to saw with it.

The Work Horse In Spring--
When first beginning to work the
horse after a protracted period of rest
it Is far better to use him carefully and
not exhaust his ambition. If a long
pull Is necessary give him a chance to
"take breath" occasionally. If he is
sweating profusely raise the collar and
other places where he Is likely to be
galled, and do not let there be a "scald
ed" place under the harness anywhere.
Who'i standing cover well with blan
kets, and do not allow a horse tj stand
where there is a draft of wind. Han
dle carefully, clean thoroughly, feed ju
diciously, and there will be but little
"ar - .' f r c::!!;il"!nt on account of lack
of nnibition or i.epreciatlou in value or

iiierous cases which have come under
the notice of eminent neurologists.
They luivo declared even moderate
laughter a symptom of nervous hys
teria. People have died of laughter. From
Austria comes a curious account, of a
man suffering- from a nervous disease
that manifested itself in paroxysms of
laughter. The patient was ::o years of
ago and had been subject for t hree years
to fits of la tighter, which occurred a I
first every two or three months, grad
ually increasing' in frequency to a dozen
or mare a day. The attacks occurred
especially between nine o'clock in the
evening" and 0:30 o'clock in the morn in $r.
and in greatest frequency between five
and G:30 o'clock. In the intervals be
tween the. attacks, and immediately he
fore and afterward, the man. was per
fectly well. The attacks commenced
from a tickling" sensation arising from
the toes of the left foott. The patVr.t
would fall to the ground, where he could
lie down. At the height of the attack
the patient first smiled and then
laughed aloud without any apparent
cause for the excessive merriment. The
entire act occupied about two minutes.

That the lady in question had a business
head is further evidenced by the fact
that Bhe succeeded in "woiking" the
manager of the establishment for $2.50,
the amount of her fare home.
She innocently told him that to pay
her bill in full would take every cent
she had and she must take out enough
to get home. While the manager gen
tly demurred at receipting the bill in
full with this discount oil", she ingen
iously hinted that it would cost moro
than $2.50 to send a collector after the
balance, and he tumbled to the situa
tion as gracefully as possible. Mrs.
Thrasher (or perhaps it is Miss) said
that she had made $2,200 out of her ma
chine and had 187 stacks of grain to
finish this winter, which she proposed
to do if the snow was. hub deep. Considering-
the fact thdt many machines are
being- taken back on mortgages this
year, no one can successfully maintain
that, a woman is not adapted to this new
field for woman's activity.
The Locomotive Halt Go.
It was a decidedly interesting though
one could hardly say a startling pre
diction which Senator Depew made in
a speech the other night at a dinner of
tho Transportation club in regard to
future of electricity as a motive power.
"Within ten years," said Mr. Depew,
"tho steam locomotive of today will be
seen in the museum for the inspection
of the antiquarian, and we will be able
to proceed over the rails by means of
electricity at a rate of seventy-five
miles an hour. As a railroad official
of large experience Senator Depew un
doubtedly knows whereof he speaks.
The time set for the relegation of the
steam engine to the antiquarian mu
seum seems brief, but when we re
member the progress made during the
last teu years in electrical propulsion
who shall say that the senator's proph
ecy may not be literally fulfilled? Les

Brltlah Military Oenlas.
New forts are being erected and
guns mounted at Singapore, and the
British authorities, with their usual
sagacity, are boldly advertising what
ought to be hidden. Both the forts and
tne guns mounted on tnem are sur
mounted with immense palings, which
have been painted white. Thus every
position has been earmarked, as though
to give a possible enemy every facility
to destroy the fortifications should oc
casion arise. At Aden the military
authorities have painted the railings
upon their forts scarlet, but the whito
rails round the gun positions at Sluga
pore are even more striking and are
visible at sea for a distance of five
miles. London Chronicle.

Bacilli Are Scarce In Egypt.

that the air of the Egyptian desert is
about as free from bacterial life as the
polar regions or the high seas. Tuber

the desert especially suitable for rheu

kidney diseases and tuberculosis.

WATER THAT EXPLODED.
How Note.
Clean pens for pigs and clean bed
ding will do much to ward off lice and
disease.
A boar or sow that is kept excessive
ly fat on corn alone will rarely give
satisfaction as a breeder.
The sow that has nothing to recom
mend her but a good pedigree should
be fattened and marketed as soon as
possible.
Better bring in one or two young
sows at a time than to discard all of
the old sows at one time.
It is a mistake to delay the regular
and liberal feeding of the growing pigs.
When the Home Rana Away.
When a horse is running away it is
tlien that the driver usually becomes
as scared as the horse, and the runa
way is not helped much. The driver
needs to keep his head at a time like
this even though he should lose it at
other times. What the driver needs
to do is to pull vigorously on one line
and then on the other with such rapid
succession as to confuse the animal so
that his fear may be removed. A
known runaway horse should be driv
en with care. Tarm Visitor.
A Bartender's Experience Under Fire of a
FuMUude of Seltzer.
"Do you know," said Billy Clark, of
the Grand hotel, to a Cincinnati Times
Star reporter, as a big seltzer bottle
fizzed and two or three men on the out
side elevated a foot each on the railing
and looked on, "that these seltzer
water bottles will explode easily?"
And the three men each put a foot down
on the floor and moved slightly away.
"Sometimes just the temperature of the
hand yviII do it, the warm hand, placed
against it while bringing it from a cold
room, or sometimes while lifting it one
will strike it against the counter and it
will explode and the metal top will be
driven with great foree bv the ga,s
One time, while at the Gibson, I refused
to give a man a drink. He took it very
much to heart and went away vowing
he would get even with me. I had
turned about as he went out ai d had
my back to him. Suddenly there came
a sound like a pistol shot. I tried to
turn around and couldn't, and I was
sure the man had carried his threat
into effect and had shot me. Directly
following that explosion came another
and another, and there was a rapid mu
cession of explosions. Then I knew
the man had ont-d a regular fusillade
on me, and yet I was riveted to the spot.
I could not stir. I thought I h;.d bet 11
paralyzed by a bullet. Conielo i'.ml out
one of these seltzer water boitlcs in the
far end of the counter had exploded
and the concussion had started the
others, until all had exploded that v re
on that shelf. And the man had gone
away and I never saw him again. But
I never will forget my exjuTirnce of
that night, when I was sure I had been
shot."
