Reader a may have noticed that
many persons while speaking pub
lic orators Included hare a knack
of doing something which appears in
an unaccountable way to assist the
Sow of words.',
81 r Walter Scott has supplied an
illustration of this. Whon at school
he could never succeed In getting
above a certain boy In the class until
he discovered that this boy, while re
peating his lessons, continually fid
geted with a button-on his waistcoat.
At the first opportunity that offered.
Seott cut the button away, and his
object was gained. When the boy
was called upon to construe, his
band instinctively sought the button,
a&d. being unable to find it, his mem
ory completely failed him and he
went in disgrace to the bottom.
Mrs. Oowden Clarke, the compiler
of the well known concordance to
Ehakespeare. has told of a similar
peculiarity on the part of Madame de
Btael. who had a habit when talking
of taking a scrap of paper and, snip
ping it into bits with a pair of scis
sors. Tbe idiosyncrasy of Gibbon, the
historian, was to take a pinch of
Banff between his fingers when he
reooeBted an anecdote, and Invaria-

A -Mystery KxpUtlned.
One of the strangest of stories of
false Imprisonment comes from
Vrenoe. A woman woe sentenced to
imprisonment for life for bar lag
eaused tbe death of her husband and
brother. The three had lived to
gether at Malaunay. near Roeun. tn
a, cottage, tbe lower part of which
was used as a wineshop. When the
woman was sent to prison other peo
ple took the wineshop, but the bow
tenants suffered, tbe nan from faint
ing fits, his wife from nausea, from
which s lie diod. Another couple
tried their fortune, but they too were
overcome by the "spell of the ac
cursed place," as they thought it.
They were subject to fainting and
loss of memory. At last a scien
tific examination of tbe premise
was made. Then It-was found that
a lime kiln adjoined the inn. In the
wall dividing it from the oottagewere
many fissures, go that whenever lime
was burnt monoxide of carbon es
caped into the inn. This was tbe
secret of the deaths for which the
woman was suffering, Se was
brought out of prison after six years
of servitude.

Cosmos of Paris recently published
an article recommending baths of
net dayB or weeks, but of months.
Francis Mirre says in this article
that Professor Otto Kummef. cLlef
inrgeon of the General Hospital of
Hamburg, has recently tried with
success prolonged bathing in canes
of entensive phlegmasia, serious fls
talaa, cancer at the period of degen
eration, aad exposed eeseous and ar
tleular tuberculosis, as well an in
eases of extensive burns in the seo
ond or third degree. The bath-tubs
whloh are so arranged that the wator
la constantly renewed, and kept at a
temperature of from 85 to 100 de
grees Fahrenheit. In the tub the pa
tients rest on a sort of pneumatic
mattress, which Is filled with air and
allows the sick person to rest and
sleep comfortably. "This prolonged
Whing." says the writer "has a
most excellent general offset The
appetite Is stimulated, the patient
sleeps better and fever is reduced.
Wounds which sro constantly
wiher by the water of the bath are
Ql-kly cleansed and cures obtained
which would be lmppossible by any
other treatment The cutting pains
and fever coosecjuaat upon the b
aoxptlon of septic products Quickly
cease when the bath la used, and the
convalescence of the patient to fre
quently only a question of a few
hours. In Ui'J case of severe barns
the treatment baa a remarkably sed
ative effect on the exquisite suffer
ings of the cuticle, and it shortens
considerably the period of suppura
tion. The only Inconvenience atted
ant upon the permanent bath is that
it . sometimes produces ezcema. and
that it makes sensitive those por
tions of the body which are more or
less callous, as the hands and feet
These complications, howevere, have
only a relative Importance, and a few
applications of lanolin suffice to cure

Champion Linimentfor Uheumatism.
Cnas. Drake, a mail carrier at Chspin

Balm is the champion of all liuimcuts. The
past year I was tronbUd a great deal with
rheumatism in my shoulder. After trying
several cures the storekeeper here recom
mended thin remedy and it completely

liniment can be obtained for a guall sum.

be, "Why doesn't he p'ay golf?" in
