LIVE INSECTS WORN* AS .TEWELHT. ,
Women have taken to wearing
. jewelry that is alive and crawlp, a fact
which requires some explanation.
There is a little animal known as the
Japanese terrapin, which for many
years has been allowed to make its
humble way unnoticed. Then of a
sudden some fickle Parisian ladies be
gan to tire of their brilliant chame*
i leons, which they had formerly been
i fond of wearing as a substitute for
jewelry, and the pretty little terrapin
was attached tt) a gold chain and became
the very newest fad. Then New
York women took up the idea, and a
New York jeweler, in response to the
demand, has just ordered some hundreds
of these living ornaments.

LIFE'S MYSTERIES.
QUEER EXPERIENCES RELATED
BY A NEWSPAPER MAN.
A Lady's Startling Vision on a
Steamer?The Warning Voice
That Saved a Train?What
a Doctor Saw.
THE 6tories I am abont to relate,
writes E. V. Smalley of
the Chicago Times-Herald, I
got at first hands, whioh is,
perhaps, their chief merit. We read
a good many things in books and
newspapers that are out of the ordinary
rango of onr experience and
which we hesitate to believe, bnt when
a friend tells ns face to fane and with
all seriousness of some extraordinary
occurrence, we are very apt to treasure
it np in memory and classify it
with the unexplained phenomena of
this mysterious human life of ours.
A lady of my acquaintance, who is
engaged in newspaper work in New
York, received a visit a few years ago
from a Western friend who was about
to take a Sound steamer for Boston
the same evening. While they were
talking the lady had a startling vision.
She seemed to see the man
walking on the deck of a steamer on a
dark night, when the falling ram
froze into sleet as it strnck the deck.
He slipped and fell, slid under the
guard rail and was engulfed in the
sea. The vision oame and passed in a
a second. The lady begged her friend
not to go on the steamer that night.
She told him what she had seen. He
tw o + ort o 1 iof. Qnc\ lonnrho^ fllA
wud a uiavgiiuitwv mum ?mmkuvv? vwv
whole matter off as a bit of idle fancy.
He took the boat that evening, slipped
on the icy deck, fell overboard just
as he did in the viEion and was
drowned.
Three years ago I was living in a car
and traveling from town to town in
the State of Washington. In Cheney
I had a call from a real estate man.
Some way or other the talk drifted to
qneer 'experiences. My friend fold
me had one such experience in life,
and one only. Ten years before he
was running a train oat of Chicago as
a conductor on one of tbe Burlington
offnr Vioqtttt roina
XI II CD. VUO iliVlUXU^ CVAVWA MWMTJ
when there]were freshets in the streams,
he stood upon the platform of a way
station abont three miles from the
crossing of a small river. He was
about to signal the engineer to go
ahead, when a voice spoke plainly in
his ear. "Lookout for the bridge I"
No 01 as standing near at the time.
He waited forward and said to the engineer,
"Jim, I think you had better
alow down at the curve just this side
of the bridge." "There is nothing the
matter with the bridge," said the engineer,
"or we would Have had a wire '
from it." "Perhaps there isn't," replied
the conductor, "but you slow
down all the same." There was a sharp
curve a short distance from the approach
to the bridge, so near, in fact,that
it would have been impossible to
stop the train after coming in sight of
the bridge had it been running at the
usual rate of speed. The engineer
slowed down. The bridge was gone.
It had been carried away between the
time the train left the last station and
its arrival at the curve. Had it not
been for the mysterious warning the 1
whole train would have gone into the
river.
A prominent Chicago physician once
kept o drug store in a small town in
Illinois. Across the street from the
ofnro wftB n. flnnsidfirahle stretch of
unfeneed town lots. Sitting in the
shade in front ol the store one summer
afternoon the doctor saw a young man
of his acquaintance approaching across
the open lots. When he was five or
six rods away the doctor, without any
symptoms of being in an abnormal
condition, seemed to see the whole
anatomical structure of the man?all 1
his bones and internal organs, and at
the same time he saw the contents of
the young man's pockets. The vision
passed in an instant.- When the youth
came up to tho doctor the latter said:
"Henry, I can tell you jast what you
have in your pockets. In one of the
pockets of your trousers you have a
bunch of string for tying up bags, in
the other there is a black-handled
jack-knife, two tenpenny nails and a
half dollar. The date on the half dollar
is 1856." The young man turned
his Dockets inside out and showed that
be was carrying the articles described.
He took the coid, looked at it and
found that the date named by the
dootor was correct. He was eo astonished
at this case of clairvoyance
that he nearly fainted.
Utilizing a Dream.
One of the most valuable patents
was the result of a dream, says the
Boston Transcript. An engineer named
Springer had been trying to devise an
automatic lock which would brake a
carriage going down the hill, so that
the driver would not have to get out,
but might lock the brake by pulling
his horse in. He dreamed that he
was driving down a steep hill and had
just such a lock on his wagon. He
noticed exactly how it was conntructed,
onrl nil nralfinnr hfl <rnfc UtJ and Sketched
WMV* Vl* " **"* wr> o?
the details of the mechanism. Then
he went to bed again. Three days
later he applied for a patent, which
was granted. It yielded $75,000 the
first year.
Of the heapa of patents issued every
week by the United States Patent Office
only a very small percentage of
them have any practical usefulness.
But it is not always possible to judge
before a thing has been tried. A few
years ago a man thought of inclosing
trees in canvas and filliDg the canvas
with deadly gases for the purpose of
destroying insects. He was consid
ered a lunatic, but his method is now
practiced on a great scale and with
much success in California.
Vessel Lifted From the Water by Wind.
Captain Carhigeri, of the Italian
bark Vermont, which reached Phila*
delphia sixty days iroui Genoa, sat in

experienced during twenty-five years
at sea. It was while in latitude 39.18,

but as it was ehe rode the gale out

were readjusted she passed on her

How Pius Are Made.
To complete a pin it has to go
through many hands before it ia ready
for the consumer. It is a very delicate
article to handle, and the oost of
building the machines to make it is
the greatest outlay. The wire from
which these pins are manufactured is
specially prepared and comes to the
factory on large reels very much like
gigantic cotton spools.
The wire is first turned through
eight or ten little copper rollers.
This is to get all the bend and kink
out of it; in other words, to straighten
it perfectly. After this preliminary
operation is completed it is once more
wound on a very large reel, which is
attached to the machine that makes
the pins. One of these machines
makes on an average euuu pins an
hour, and some large factories will
often have thirty or forty machines
at work at one time. After the pins
are released from the grip of this machine
they are given a bath of sulphuric
acid. This removes the grease
and dirt from them.
They are then placed in a tub or
barrel of sawdust. Pins and sawdust
TiuTt folrsn i/iiTAthAr from the
barrel and allowed to fall in a steady
stream through a strong air blast,
which separates the sawdust from the
pins. But as yet they are pointless,
and pins without points would not be
of much use. In order to point them
they are carried on an endless grooved
belt which passes a set of rapidly moving
files. This points them roaghlv,
and after being passed between two
grinding wheels and forced against a
rapidly moving band faced with emery
cloth they are dipped in a polishing
tub of oil. This latter is a large,
slowly revolving copper-lined tub,
which is tilted at an angle of about
forty-five degrees. As this revolves
the points keep sliding down the
smooth copper to the lower side, and
owing to the constant friction against
the oopper and each other receive a
brilliant polish and finish.
They go next to the sticker, where
they fall from a hopper on an inclined
plane, in which are a number of slitb.
The pins catch in these slits, and,
hanging by their heads, slide down to
an apparatus which inserts them in
the paper. This machine is, perhaps,
the most ingenious of all the beautiful
and complicated contrivances that
help to make and manipulate tho pin.
It does all this at the rate of 100,000
pins an hour, and yet a single bent or
damaged pin will came it to stop
feeding until the attendant removes
the offender. The pins are then Btuck
into the papers by the machine, whioh
is usually operated by a skilled girl,
and then they are ready for shipment
to all parts of the civilized world
where the common but necessary pin
is a factor.?Dry Goods Economist.
A Queer Hospital.
"I wont to the animals' fair,
The birds and beasts were there"?
At any rate it was the animals' hospital,
and there were enough birds and
beasts for a fair. The hospital is in
charge of the New York College of
Veterinary Surgeons, and that, if you
please, is part of the University of
New York; so if you wanted to send
your dickey-bird there for the pip,
he would be in a manner under tbe
sheltering wing of all the D.D.s
that shine as the regents of that noble
institution.
A great deal of the hospital's most
interesting practice is among the animals
kept in zoological gardens or in
traveling shows. An old circus lion
was brought here not long ago to have
his ulcerated tooth pulled. Now if
the toothache makeByou feel as "cross
as a bear," how cross does the toothacha
make a live lion feel?
To tell the truth, no one at the hospital
wanted to know how cross that
lion did feel?they thought it was a
case in which it would be folly to be
wise. The first thing, to be done was
to drop nooses of rope on the floor of
his cage, and then draw them up wheu
he put his foot in one?he knew ho
had "put his foot in it" when he found
himself snared ?and so, step by step,
got him bound and helpless. If you
will think how particularly hard it is
to tie up a cat, you may guess that it
is no juke to make a lion fast; he ie
just like a stupendous cat in his agility
and slipperiness. The only way to
render him helpless is to get his hind
quarters tied up outside his cage, and
his head bound fast within it; the
next thing, for dental work, is to put
a gag in his mouth; that is the easier
because there is no trou ble at ail about
getting him to open his mouth?he
does it every time any one goes near
him.
When medicine cannot be given disguised
in drink or food, it is usnally
squeezed down the patient's throat
with a syringe. The horses are very
good about that operation, but the
dogs are often troublesome at first, but
both dogs and horses soon learn that
they are with friends, and then they
are wonderfully good and grateful
even when the doctors have to hurt
them.?Harper's Round Table.
Use Ma:te of Peach Stones.
Some people may wonder what becomes
of all the peach stones, knowing,

from year to year and sold in the
markets. Peach stones were formerly
bought by several nursery firms here,
who, in turn, dried and assorted them,
and sold large quantities in the South.
The State of Georgia took a great
many; so also the West, especially
the State of Michigan, and, in fact,
wherever it was thought peach
orchards could be set out to advantage.
Then the wholesale druggists took
them, but in limited quantities, for
their prussic acid ingredients. They
were also stored by the packers, and
sold at about 83.50 per carload of,
say, twenty-five bushels, and those
not sold in the manner mentioned
were used for fuel in the winter after
they were well dried. But this year

;hat he has realized the dreams of the
indents and has discovered the secret
if transmuting silver into gold, The
)ld alchemists believed that some substance
might be fonnd by the mere
;ouch of which the base metalu could
3e changed into silver and gold.
Modern chemistry shows that the ultimate
particles constituting gold, silver,
iron, lead zino and all other
netals are identical in substance, and
;hat the different properties of the
leveral metals depend entirely upon
ihe different wave in which the parti:les
of the common substance are arranged.
It is this secret of rear angdment
which Dr. Emmens, the
ligh explosive expert, now says he has
athomed. He claims that the metal
nade by him from silver answers
ivery test to which the United States
Government Assay Office subjects the
fold offered there for sale, and that
he metal could be proved to be gold
n a court of law. It has every quality
equired by the gold of commerce, beng
of the same color, weight and

Singularity About liicycle Accidents.
The remarkable thing about most
>f the accidents that happen to bicyclists
is that the injured is not a
novice on the wheel, but generally an
experienced, if not an expert rider,
rhe novice seems to have sense enough
to keep out of danger's way. But as
ioon as one becomes accustomed to the
pheel he overestimates his ability to
lodge danger whep he gets into its
path. Witness the foolhardiness of
Chicago youths who make a practice

the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual disease,
but simply to a constipated condition
of the system, which _tne pleasant

remedy with millions of families, and is
every where esteemed so highly bv all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its beneficial
effects, to note when you pur*
