E A General Theory of Machines.
In the Comptes Rendus of the Paris
Academy of Sciences M. Koenigs has
printed a sketch of a general theory of
meclanismis. Every miiaehine consists
of a number of mat-rial bodies, re
sistances. joined together reciprocally,
upon w hicb natural forces act to pro
duce a desired effect, and the effect
may be either a state of rest or one of
motion. The resisting bodies and their
connections are the mechanism. Its ef
feet is not known until we define the
acting forces. The same machine will
produce different effects according- as
different forces play upon it.
Machines are subject to three ef
fects-static when the forces produce
equilibrium: kinetic when the result is
motion, and. linally. dissociative when
the connections of the machine are
changed. The latter effect is usually
not considered, but it is essential to
take it into account. A machine could
not be built, in the first place, unless
it was capable of dissociation. In some
machines-locks, for instance-the parts
are dissociated every time the appa
ratus operates. It is desirable to de
sign most machines, however, so that
the dissociative effects do not come in
to play during their operation.
Beware of the Cold Bath.
The cold bath in the morning is not
so popular as it was formerly. There
is much energy expended In the re
action and just at the time of day
when this energy is at its lowest ebb.
Then, too, cold water has very little
cleansing effect. Very hot water
stimulates the nerves, which is the ef
feet that we are seeking from the cold
water, while it does not demand the
energy of reaction of the latter. The
duration of the morning bath should
be as short as possible-hardly longer
than the mere application of the water
to the skin, followed by a brisk rub
bing. However, many prefer a cool
sponge bath in the morning. and if
this is followed by a warm glow and a
feeling of well being it certainly is
beneficial. Many people are not strong
enough to react well. A hot bath at
night is most cleansing and restful.
General bathing must be regulated by
individual peculiarities. - Emma E.
Walker, M. D., in Ladies' Home Jour
nal.
A Little Too Late.
The minister of a Scotch parish had
a great wish that an old couple should
become teetotalers, but they were in no
wise eager to comply. After much
pressing, however, they consented to
try the experiment, but laying down as
a condition that they should be allowed
to keep a bottle of "Auld Kirk" for
medicinal purposes.
About a fortnight after John began to
feel his resolution weakening, but lie
was determined not to be the first to
give way. In another week, however,
he collapsed entirely.
"Jenny, womai'," he said, "I've an
awfu' pain in my head. Ye micht gie
me a wee drappie an' see gin it'll dae
me ony gnid."
"Weel, guidman," she replied, ".ye're
owre late o' askin', for ever sin' that
bottle cam' into the hoose I've been
bothered sae wi' pains I' my held 'tis a'
dune, an' there's nae 'drappie left."
Spare Moments.
He Was Selfish.
An Arabic anecdote Illustrative of
the subtleness of selfishness, which
Ienables it t- glide Into the heart of a
saint, is told of the holy Mohammedan
Sakati.
He said that for twenty years he had.
. never ceased imploring divIne pardon
for having once exclaimed, "Praise be
to God!" On being asked the reason
for such persistent praying he answer
ed:
"A. fire broke out in Bagdad, and a
person came to me and told me that
my shop had escaped, on whIch I ut
tered those words, and even to this
moment I repent of having said so, be
cause it showed that I wished better
to myself than to others."
The Lost Bargain.
It is Monday miorning. Down the
street hurries a stylishly dressed
woman.
Why does she hasten so? Why that
look of intense excitement In her eyes?
Is she going toi the office of her lawyer,]
there to hear the wvill of her favorite,
uncle read? Or is she hastening to the
bedside of the dyingt No; none of
these. She~ pulls a newspaper out of'
her poi-ket and reads again' the an
nouncee:uwm of the wonderful bargains]
to be hal at the department store. ]
She r-esirs frantically into the store.
Yes; she c-an see before her the rem-]
nant of pongee s!!k which is selling' at
only 15 cents a yardl. What a crowd
of excitedl womaen at-e elustered about
the prize:
She forces her way Into the thickest
Iof the crowd. She is tossed thIs way
and that. She cares not. Her hat is
pulled off' and walked on by the half 4
crazed mob. She cares not. Sihe
reaches the counter. Ten yar-ds only
of the silk is left.
"I will take it," she rays, just in ad
vance of four other women, all reach
ing for thme coveted prize.
The clerk .says, "It is yours." The
Swoman feels for her purse. She has
left it at home.1
The other women exult. They buy 4
-the pongee. The wonderful borgain is I

UNIQUE BOOKKEEPING.
How Two Country Tradesmen Protected
Themselves From Loss.
During the sojourn of the del
egates to the convention of the
Indiana Banker's association in
this city last week many inter
esting stories were related. One
group of financiers fell to dis
cussing the prosy subject of debt
and credit: but with the stories
that were told to illustrate cer
tain ideas the subject lost muchi
of its dullness.
"A friend of mine once ran
across a queer system of keeping
books in a little southern town,"
said a banker. "He was a tray
eling salesman and his territory
included Tennessee. Naturally
he grew pretty well acquainted
with his customers, who were
for the most part keepers of gen
eral stores. Happening in such
an establishment one day he
found the proprietor in the rear
of the room poring intently over
what seemed to be his ledger.
My friend noticed that the
old gentleman would mutter sav
agely now and then and turning
over a few leaves jot down a set
of figures. After this process
had been repeated several times,
my friend interrupted him with
'Mr. Hedges, what on earth are
you doing there?'
'''Well. I'll tell you,' replied
the old man. 'This here Bill'
Jones is a worthless scamp and
he has left town owing me $1.50.
So I jest put it ou Brown's ac
count over here, (turning the
leaves.) Then there's Charley
Colson that got into a scrap the
ther night and was killed. He
owed me $2, so I put her over on
Joe Smith's account. I tell you,
brother, whatever goes in this
ere old book has got to come
ut, by the Eternal."'
"That reminds me of a story
f strange methods of keeping
iccounts that I heard one time,"
poke up anlother tinancer. "This
was in a little Western town. The
proprietor of a store wanted to
go on a visit out in the country
ane day and when he got ready
bo start he told his clerk, a mere
[ad, to kind of keep an eye on
things while he was absent. You
needn't be particular about tak
[ng in money for what you sell,'
;aid the storekeeper. 'Just
remember what you sold and who
ot it and I will put it on the
ooks when I get home tonight.'
"Well, when the old fellow ar
rived home that night he asked
he boy how he had 'made out'
luring the day.. '0. pretty well,'
aid the lad. 'I sold a washboard
nd tub to Widow Harkness,
a currycomb and brush to Old
Man Johnson, a tin bucket to
Mrs. Leeds, a broom and a pack
ge of needles to. Mrs. Brans
3mb, and-say, I sold some fel
ow a horse collar, but blamed if
[ can remember who I sold it to."
"'Never mind about that,' said
he proprietor. 'It'l be all right.
['ll just charge all of my book
3ustomers with a horse collar.'
And he did put down a horse
ollar on every account he had
n his ledger. The funny part
f it was that all of them paid
scept one man, and the store
teeper brought suit against him.
Banking would be a soft snap if
we could keep books like that."

The Lien Law.
Although the people of South
Darolina have devoted much
abor and thought during the
past thirty five years to what is
Enown as the agricultural lien
system, it must be apparent to
il who are giving attention to
:he subject, that many mistakes
aave been made and that the
roblem is still demanding se
~ious consideration.
The original object of the lien
aw wyas good. By enabling peo
le who could not give more
~ubstantial security to mortgage
;heir "intention" to raise a crop,
:he country has possibly gotten
he benefit of much development
;hat would have otherwise been
lelayed. At the same time, the
;ystem which, at its best, has
ever been more than a risky
peculation, has accomplished an
mmense amount of harm, and in
;he view of many is still a source
>f grave future danger..
Reviewing the agricultural his
:ory of this state briefly and gen
rally in its relation to the lien
aw, it seems fair to size up the
;ituation about like this: When
he system was first itaugura
:ed, landowners, who were with
>ut means to conduct such oper
itions as they desired, were dis
osed to act as general managers
>f their farms while they took
edvantage of the lien system,
>oth in behalf of themselves and
enters. They exercised such,
versight of renters as helped to
~nsure the best results in pro
ucing crops, generally paying
he merchant all that was coming
o him, and leaving a profit to
he landowner. This plan is
till practiced by many land
4ners; but it is now the excep
ion. The tendency, for a numn
>er of years past, on the part of'I
andowners who are financially
mable to manage their farms,
.nd who have no inclination to
ngage actively in the business
hemselves, is to rent out to per
ons irresponsible or otherwise,
eaving the renter to secure sup
>ies as best they i$1ay by means
4f agricultural lien, and depend- 1
g for their own incomes solely
n the rents that are so strongly1
ecured to them by law. While
t is a fact that many a good man
ias gotten his start in life as a 1
enter under this system, there
s no disputing~ the fact that theI
reat majority of individuals, in-l
luding a large percentage of 't
Legroes whe are at present living
Lnder this, system, are a worth-'
ess set studying not so much 1,
iow they can work out their just t
char.t, as how they can swindle
both.
The practice of renting land,
giving liens. and either not
planting at all, or planting less
than enough to pay the liens,
even with proper work and far
orable seasons, has become so
common as to discredit the whole
system. It is almost a fact that
the agricultural lien no longer
furnishes even speculative secu
rity, in fact most renters who
would pay up a debt secured by
lien, would have paid just as
surely had there been no such
security, and those who intend
to pay at all: will pav no more
surely because of this mortgage.
Although the law contemplates
the fullest protection of property
under lien, it is a well know fact
that there are different ways by
which the holder of the lien can
be swindled with but little chan
ces of detection.
During several years past, it
has been the disposition of the
more prudent and conservative
supply merchants, not to agree
to furnish goods to irresponsible
renters until after landlords have
waived they prior liens, and this
practice is becoming more gen
eral each year. Its effect is -to
throw a larger share of respon
sibility on the landowner than
the present statutes contemplate
for that individual, and to make
landowning purely as an invest
ment less profitable than other
wise; but the justice of it is so
manifest that it is difficult to see
how a merchant could be induc
ed to take the chances- that are
required of him on any- other
basis.
There -as probably much for
the lien law at the time of its
passage; but the the law has long
since outlived its usefulness. It
is doing more harm than it ever
did good, and it is about time
that the legislature should repeal
it forthwith.-Yorkville Enquir
er.
A Physician Testifies.
"I have taken Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
and have never used anything in my
life that did me the good that did,"
says County Physician Geo. W. Scroggs
of Hall County. Ga. "Being a physi
ion I have prescribed it and found it
to give the best resits." If the food
you eat remains undigested in your
stomach it decays there and posisons
the system. You can prevent this by
dieting but that means starvation. Ko.

Bound to Sound Their "H."
The English middle classes have had,
so much, fun poked at them for drop-.
ping the letter "h" and for carrying It
forward and placing It where It should
nt be, possibly thus to obey the laws
f compensation, that they have be
come sensitives on the subjiect, and
many aspirate the "h" with double
force when'the letter should be aspi
rated. Instead of saying "before him,"
s Americans do, with a light aspira
tion, they will say "before him," taking'
full and deep breath when they utter .
the second word, shooting it out as if
it came from a popgun. Dropping the
"h" is not new for ordinary English
folk. It is a new trick to aspirate It
with double the force required.-New

A Clara Morris Story.
Clara Morris related this story in Mc
Clure's Magazine of her production of
"Miss Multon:
"The play had twice failedl in Paris.
which was, to say th'e !,.L. discouraz
in. 13ut after brie, rttoh I con
(lded I would risk it. and then, just
by way of eneouraemiient. Mr. Cazau
ran declared that all my acquired skill
and natural power of expressing emo
tion would prove useless to me, that
'Miss Multon' was to be my Waterloo.
and to all anxious and surprised
'Whys?' he sapiently made answer, 'No
children.' His'arguminent was that, not
being a mother in reality. I could not
be one in imagination.
"Always lacking in self contidence,
these words made my heart sink. but
the ever ready Jest came bravely to the
fore to hide my hurt from the public
eye, and at the next rehearsal I shook
my head mournfully and remarked to
the little man: 'Bad-bad! Miss C.ush
man must be a very bad Lady Mac
beth. I don't want to see her!'
"'What!' he exclaimed. 'Cushman
not play Lady Macbeth! For heaven's
sake, why not?'
"'No murderess!' I declared, with an
air of authority recognized by those
about me as a fair copy of his own. 'If
Miss Cushman is not a murderess, pray
how can she act Lady Macbeth, who
is?'"
One of Sandow's Tricks.
One day in a London tobacconist's
shop Sandow, the strong man, was
handed some change, aid in the middle
of it he saw something that looked
like a bad shilling. He pushed it back
across the counter. "I think that one
is bad," he said.
"Nonsense," said the shopkeeper,
with an incredulous air. Ile took up
the shilling and tried it in the little
brass coin tester that was screwed to
the side of the counter. Then he ten
dered it again. "It's quite good," he
said. "I can't bend it."
Sandow smiled and took it between
his finger and thumb. "You can't bend
it! May I try?" he asked.
"Certainly," said the, man, with a
grin.
The strong man pressed the tip of
his forefinger toward the tip of his
thumb and the spurious coin bent like
tissue paper.
"Well," said the tobacconist dum
founded, "it looks like a wrong 'un
after all! Perhaps you will accept an
other?" -
And Sandow did.
A Circular Rainbow.
A member- of a party who made an
ascent of Finsterrehorn some years
ago thus described a novel sight which
delighted the tired climbers: The day
we mounted the Finsterrehorn we
were treated to the rare sight of a cir
cular rainbow, the phenomenon lasting
nearly half an hour and forming a
complete circle. There were heavy
clouds lying some 4,000 feet below on
the Aar glacier, and it was on these
that the beautiful, brilliantly colored
ring lay. A second circle was alskTvisi
ble. We were near the summit of the
peak when the first of the party ob
served it. and from that point the face
of the mountain on the Grimsel side is
almost perpendicular, giving us a
splendid view.
A Richter Anecdote.
It is not always the great conductor
that shines as a composer, though un
fortunately he often labors under the
:elusion that such is the case. On one
ccasion Hans Richter was present at
a concert given by a brother composer,
t which the latter performed a long
nd not particularly interesting work
f his own.
When the composition came to an
ed, Richter expressed his criticism in
very few words. "Well," he said, "I,
too, haf written compositions to make
a pile so high"-raiising his hand three
feet from the ground-"but I haf burn
d them!"
Nicely Graded.
It is still a tradition that the people
f Manchester, England, should gibe at
Liverpool with the proverb, "A Man
hester man, a Liverpool gentleman,"
but, it is said, classification is not so
strongly marked in Lancashire as in
the old days.
When stagecoaches were running, a
guard was once asked, "Who has tha'
getten inside, Billy?" Billy consulted
his list and replied, "A gentlemon fra
Liverpool, a mon fra Manchester, a
cap fr'a Owdham and a fellow fra
Wigan." ____
