Row He Opened :i Safe Without Tools or Explosives. An extraordinary account is given of bow a safe was opened by a robber wlio had at his disposal no instrument k of any kind, but operated merely with ' his linger naii. The person who accomplished the feat revealed his intention , of robbing the iron safe in a hotel to another young man, who happened to , I be the cousin of the hotel proprietor. As a matter of course the proposed scheme to rob was revealed to the owner of the hotel, and a little before midnight. when it was to be put into exeI # 1 cution, a couple of detectives were concealed behind the oiiice counter. i A short time afterward the robber ] entered the ciiico gently, without either tools or explosives wherewith to open the massive iron receptacle, the com- < bination of which it was evident he did | ^ net know. He had. however, resorted to an ingenious plan of liis own. He had pared the nail of his index on the right hand until the blood | vessels were exposed. Then by placing the sensitive wound on the combination lock he could distinguish the movements of the tumblers as they fell. For , more than an hour did he work, and at last there came a sharp click, and he 1 swung back the doors of the safe. lie was in the act of filling his pock- ( ets with the valuable papers it contained when a damper was thrown upon his activity by the sudden grasp of < the detectives, under whose escort he was taken to prison.?London Tit-Bits. Dancer In "Home Remedies.** "The trouble with poor persons who i try to doctor themselves before coining here." said a physician in a public dispensary, '"is that they do not know the first thing about the 'simple remedies,' us they call them, that they use. Oftentimes they do themselves serious injury through sheer ignorance. I had a man in here the other day who had taken half an ounce of cholera mixture. Somebody had told him to take half a teaspoonful. It is the same way with paregoric, sweet niter, ammonia and other well known household remedies. Persons who trust to their mem ory are likely to get mixed and either take an overdose or use the wrong medicine. A woman came in here suffering from the effects of a drug that she should never have obtained except on a physician's prescription. It was : the big overdose and her prompt appli cation for relief that saved her. When I scolded her she showed me a clipping from one of the magazines advising its use. The dose prescribed was enough to kill a horse."?New York Times. ) _________________ ITo Pity Shown. "For years fate was after me con\ tiouously" writes F. A. Gulledge, , Verbena, Ala.

Columbia, July Id.?The Seaboard Air Line railway was hard hit in a decision handed down today by the Supreme Court in the c.tse of Daniel J. Scott. Scott was a watchman employed on the Seaboard bridge across the Conguree and was kiiJed by a locomotive. Suit was brought by the estate for $20,000 and the Lexington jury returned a verdict for $S,000, the heaviest ever brought against a ra lroad in LexiDgton county. Tne suit was on the ground of contributory negligence and the road appealed upon some of the charges made by the judge to the | jury. The Supreme Court, however, overruled every point raised by the road and sustained the verdict of the lower court. Messrs. W. Boyd Evans, Lawson D. Melton and E M. Thomson represented the Scotts and Messrs. Lyles and McMahon, McC. ClarksoL and Ehrd & Dreher, the road. It is likely now that the road will pay unless there is a stay in the pioceedings.

Bishopville, July 17.?Senator B R. Tillman and Congressman A. F. Lever reached beie last night and were met at the depot by a committee of citizens composed of the following gentlemen: W. K. Crosswell, T. G. McLeod, H. S. Cunningham, W. C. Rogers, J. B. McLauehlin, M. B. McCutchen, J. P Kdgore and A. W Parrott with R. W. Mel udon chairman. J A reception was given these distinguished guests at the Bisbopville hotel last night. The meeting was held today in the Woodward paik, commencing at 11 o'clock. Mr. Lever was introduced by Kon. J. B. MeLrjcblin, in a few well chosen words. Mr. Lcv<-r entertained the audience for one hour with an instructive address on national inane*. Among other things he said that the house of representatives was an autocratic body and about nine mem hers controlled the proceedings cf this body. Senator Tillman was introduced by Hon. T. G. McLeod. The senator was asked this morning on what lines he was going to address the people. He replied that he "uid not know what the h he was going to say, but be would open the faucet and let the words fljw." ITs speech was in a conversational style and interesting to the audience, which was composed of about 500 sturdy farmers and townspeople, and as there were no special political issues there was but slight applause irom beginning 'c end. X?ay Concern. The Eureka Feather Company, of Winston, N. C., has located its machinery in Lexington, S. C, for the purpose of cleansing and disinfecting feathers. These men have impressed me as beiog honest, faithful workers. At their solicitation, I i have visited and examined their work while in operation. I pronounce it fiist class in every particular. Feathers ought not to be U3ed as a bed to sleep on, but they are regarded as one of the luxuries of life, therefore, peop'^ are loath to dismiss them for beu purposes. Feathers ought to be cleansed and disinfected evsry four years in order that persons sleeping thereon will not run the risk of incurring malignant diseases which they, in their unclean condition, are so capable and potent in instituting. To visit this work and see what morbid material is eliminated from the feathers, while in process of cieanip^r, will furnish sufficient proof of the utility and necessity of having feathers cleansed and disinfected, especially those th-it are in constant use. From these statements, coming personally from me, the inordinately suspecting, may infer that I have some material interest in this work. I have none. My statements are recommendations for this work and a general interest in the welfare of the human family. Respectfully, M. Q Hendrix, M. D. Brutally Tortured.

In giving salt to animals it should be done in a manner to allow each animal to partake of as much as it desires and prefers, instead of giviDg the salt in the food, thereby compelling some animals to use more than they wish. Each animal has its individual preference, and the proper mode of allowing salt is to place it where the animals can have access to it at all times, as each will use only the amount needed.
