RUN BY MOUSE POWER.
A Tlirfryj Scntpliiimn'a Srlu-mp Kor
Operatluir U« Tin-pad Ililla,
Thrill I?- gi’ii i ally aiknowledxed to
bf* one of the leading eharaeKTiKties of
the mitiv,* of l ifishire. and it never
was more forcibly exemplified than in
I the person of David iimton. a native
of Dunfermline, who actually proven
that even mice, those acknowledged
pests of mankind, could be made not
only to earn their own llv'ug. hut also
to yield y respectable income to their
owners.
AlHiut the year IS’-O this gentleman
actually erected a small mill at Dun
fermline for the manufacture of thread
—a mill worked entirely by mice. It
was while visiting Perth prison in
1812 that Mr. Hutton first conceived
this remarkable Idea of utilizing mouse
power. In an old pamphlet of the
time. “The Curiosity Coffee Hoorn,” he
gave an account of the way in which
the idea dawned on him. “In the sum
mer of the year 1812,” he wrote. “1
had occasion to be In Perth, and when
Inspecting the toys and trinkets that
were manufactured by the French pris
oners In the depot there my attention
was involuntarily attracted by a little
toy house, with a wheel in the gable
of it that was running rapidly round,
impelled by the insigniticant gravity of
a common house mouse. For 1 shil
ling I purchased house, mouse and
wheel. Inclosing it In a handkerchief,
on my journey homeward I was com
pelled to contemplate Its favorite
amusement. But how to apply half
ounce power, which is the weight of a
mouse, to a useful purpose was the
difficulty. At length the manufactur
ing of sewing thread seemed the most
practicable.”
Mr. Hutton had one mouse that ran
the amazing distance of eighteen miles
a day. but be proved that an ordinary
mouse could run ten and a half miles
on an average. A halfpenny’s worth
of oatmeal was sufficient for its sup
port for thirty-five days, during which
it ran 73d half miles. He had actually
two mice constantly employed in the
making of sewing thread for more than
a year. The mouse thread mill was
so constructed that the common bouse
mouse was enabled to make atonement
to society for past offenses by twist
ing. twining and reeling from 100 to
120 threads a day. Sundays not except
ed. To perform this task the little
pedestrian had to run ten and a half
miles, and this journey It performed
with ease every day. A halfpenny’s
worth of oatmeal served one of these
thread mill culprits for the long period
of five weeks. In that time It made
8,350 threads of twenty-five inches, and
as a penny was paid to women for ev
ery hank made In the ordinary way
the mouse at that rate earned nine-
pence every six weeks, just one far
thing a day. or 7s. (id. a year.
Taking sixpence off for board and
allowing 1 shilling for machinery, there
was a clear yearly profit from each
mouse of G shillings. Mr. Hutton firm
ly intended to apply for the loan of the
empty cathedral in Dunfermline, which
would have held, he calculated, 10,000
mouse mills, sufficient room being left
for keepers and some hundreds of
spectators. Death, however, overtook
the inventor before tbis marvelous
project could be carried out—Edin
burgh Scotsman.

How <hv Great Comiioaer Came to
Live In llulreiith.
How Wagner came to make Rai-
reuth his home Is a rather Interesting
story. lie had long dreamed of pos
sessing a theater where his composi
tions could be interpreted to suit Uls
ideas, but bad liltle hope that the
dream would ever be fulfilled. When,
however, in his period of greatest de
pression and loneliness he formed the
friendship of the late king of Bavaria
t seemed suddenly as ij all things
were possible to him. In 18G7 his royal
protector Instructed the celebrated
architect. Gottfried Semper, to prepare
the plans for the theater, which was
to be built at Munich. Through po
litical and professional dissensions and
jealousies the f >wn council of Munich
refused permission for the erection of
the theater there. In 1871 Wagner
visited Baireutb and, after taking
counsel with the celebrated bankers,
Messrs. Fonstel and Gross, decided
upon a site in that city. The munici
pality of the town, correctly estimating
the financial advantages which would
accrue, presented Wagner with two
plots of laud, one for the theater and
the-other for his own house. The lat
ter was Immediately built, and in 1872
Wagner removed bis family from
Trubchen, near Lucerne, to the new
borne, Wahnfriod. The corner stone of
the theater was laid on his sixtieth
birthday. May 22. 1872. It was esti
mated that the theater would cost
300.000 thalers (about $250,000), and
this sum was very largely raised by
Wagner societies throughout the world.
It was completed in 1870 and dedicated
with the presentation of “Der Ring des
Nibelungen” on Aug. 13 of that year.
Since then it has been the Mecca of
the lovers of Wagnerian music from
all parts of the world.

Hla Reanon For Itefuninir to Advance
Another Loan.
One day a young man of Russell
Sage’s acquaintance—In fact, the grand
son of an old friend of other days—ap
proached him on the subject of a loan
of $10 for two weeks and—got It. He
promised faithfully to return the mon
ey at a stated hour, and the promise
was as faithfully kept. Mr. Sage had
very little to say when he gave up the
ten and quite as little when he got it
back.
A week or ten days later the young
man came to see him again and this
time asked him for $100, making all
sorts of representations of what he
would do with it Mr. Sage refused to
ante. The young man was surprised,
not to say pained.
“Why,” he exclaimed, “you know I’ll
pay it all right. Didn’t I say I’d have
that ten for you on Monday, and wasn’t
I there to the minute with it?”
Mr. Sage beamed softly on the grand
son of his old friend.
“My boy,” he said, with no trace of
anktndnesB in bis tone, “you disap
pointed me once, and I don’t want you
to do it again.”
”1 beg your pardon, I did not” ar
gued the youth. *T said I would pay
you back, and I did.”
“Yes, my boy,” purred Mr. Sage,
“you paid back the ten, and I never
expected you would. Now, if I let you
have a hundred I should expect you to
pay It back, and you wouldn’t One
disappointment at my time of life Is
enough, my boy. Good morning.”—Col

Tree* In Jni>an Sacred to the Gods.
Near every temple in Japan are cer
tain trees that are supposed to be pe
culiarly loved by the gods and to be
sacred to them. Any one Injuring or
causing to be injured one of them will
bring down the wrath of the kami or
god whose particular property it is.
If the trees be Injured in the name of
any one the kami avenges himself on
that person instead. So when a girl
finds that a swain’s love has cooled
and she thinks revenge would be sweet
she makes a straw manikin and calls it
by his name. If she is very vengeful
she may also make one of her hated
rival. At 2 o’clock at night (called the
hour of the bull) she rises, and, clad in
a white nightdress only, with high
clogs on her feet, her hair hanging
loose and crowned with an iron tripod,
on which three lighted candles are
stuck, she proceeds to the shrine of the
patron god of the family.
A Perofflmn Supcratltlon.
The girls of the Perugian highlands
believe as firmly as any heroine of The-
Bcrltus that a person possessing a lock
of another person’s hair can will pain,
disease and even death to the owner
of the hair, and thus when maidens
give their betrothed lovers the cus
tomary plaited tress It is virtually their
life and all their power of suffering
that they give Into those trusted hands.
If the man should prove unfaithful
and disease descend upon the unhappy
woman, she is not. however, utterly
lost The experienced matrons of her
village have means to transfer the com
plaint to a tree, to an animal or to
cast It Into running water. The patient
must rise In the early dawn, touch n
certain plant In .1 certain manner, say
ing. “May thou wither and I flourish
again.” or bind htr complaint to a tree
in a given fashion, taking care never
to pass again before that tree lest the

to her a train.
Animal* and Slarfct.
In the water fishes see only at very
close ran^c—about half their own
length. This will seem, perhaps, un
likely to anglers, although some of
them can cite Instances showing that
fish cannot see fur. Snakes seem to
have a very mediocre sense of sight.
The boa, for Instance, does not see at
more than a quarter of its own length.
Different species are limited to one-
fifth or one-eighth of their length.
(Yogs are better off; they see at fifteen
to twenty times their length.

Decayed Molar* Caaae Dlatnrbance
of the Ocnlar Nerves.
“Mary people who come to me to have
their teeth attended to complain inci
dentally of failing eyesight, and when
I tell them that bad teeth in nine cases
out of ten are the cause few feel in
clined to believe me.” said a well
known New York dentist.
“Bad sight Is generally attributed to
overstudy, debilitated constitution and
a hundred and one other causes. But
have you ever beard any one place the
blame on the teeth? Bad teeth are the
direct result of insufficient application
of the toothbrush, and bad eyesight,
resulting from the decayed molars ex
citing disturbances of the ocalar
nerves, is the next Inevitable penalty.
That is a fact which seems to be little
knowm.
“The other day 1 extracted four de
cayed teeth of a young girl who was
almost totally blind. Her pupils were
dilated and insensible. A week after
I had pulled her teeth her sight was
practically restored. , Two months pre
vious to this cure tKfe girl had been ex
amined by an expert oculist, who.
after putting her te various eye tests,
designated the <muk as ‘hysterical am
blyopia.’ and I guess that’s about all
the satisfaction the girl got, judging
by her condition when she came to me.
In saying this do not think for a mo
ment that I am in any way prejudiced
against oculists. I merely cite the In
stance.
“In the course of a year I attend to
the teeth of scores of people with Im
paired vision, and in every case where
the teeth are drawn the sight Is soon
after either greatly improved or entire
ly restored ”—New York Times.
