THF PANICKY MAN. ever there's trouble in this thing or ' - that, No matter how distant the place, When somebody says that finances are flat, Or that war-eigns are easy to trace, fTe average person would stick to his task. Still doing the best that he can to keep things as well as its reason to ash But along comes the panicky man. With significant looks and a voice that is low He hints at disheartening things; Es "You mightn't have thought it, but now, 1 don't you know-" In mournfullest minor he sings. Though full of good cheer and contentmer.t f at morn, Your task for the day you began, You'll presently almost regret you were born For along comes the panicky man. Shall people be led by the raven whose note Is the moaning of idle despair? Shall mere puny Terror take Thrift by the throat And Courage her mission forbear? Not so ; for the public is wiser to-day; It has hit on a different plan, For 'tis well understood that the sensible way Is to sit on the panicky man. -Washington Star. Killed by Moccasin Snakes. Minnie Hightower, the sixteen-yeat. old daughter of Hiram Hightower, a trapper and fisherman, who lives on Horseshoe Lake, in the St. Francie I bottoms, Arkansas, was killed by mo- c casin snakes the other day in a singulau i and horrible manner. The story w it told by a man who saw her body, The moccasin snake loses its vision almosi entirely during the month of August, just before it sheds its skin. During the period of blindness the reptile ii very vicious and strikes at every noif e. E Horseshoe Lake is noted for the nu:. ber of snakes to be found in its wateri < and along the banks. Miss Hightower c had killed hundreds of the snakes dur. i ing her life, which was spent on and I near the lake, and had little fear o them. She paddled her canoe to -9 drift of logs in the middle of the lake for the purpose of fishing. There was \ no one at home but her brother, aged six years, Hightower having gone to the head of the lake with the only ,other boat they had. When Hightower returned at noon he found the boy running up and down the shore of the lake crying. The child said Minnie got on the drift and fished for a few minutes, then began to beat something with a pole and scream. Then she fell down. Hightower looked toward the drift and could see his daughter's body. He paddled quickly I to the island of logs, which is not I more than 100 yards from the bank. Lying on the logs was the girl, dead, swollen and discolored almost beyond recognition. Hightower counted seven large moccasins coiled on and around the body. She was barefooted and the i marks of the serpents' fangs were on her fe6e, face and neck. It wasapparent that the girl had found a colony of snakes on the drift pile and that while she 'was killing one others had bitten her on the feet. She fainted from paint and fright and the reptiles sank theirt fangs into her face and neck. The 1 snakes showed do dispsition to retreat ~^when -~'~df~e approzenett They coiled and struck at him as soon1 as he, set foft on the logs. He dis patched two with his paddle, then, as the remaining five did not retreat, he1 got a long pole ind thrashed them to death. It took him nearly an hour tc recover the body of his child from the snake-intested wood drift pile.-Chi eago Herald. An Immense Drill.4 There has lately been constructed at one of the Massachusetts establish ments for manufacturing machinists' tools, drills and general iron working machinery, a massive radial drill of immense proportions, pronounced to be the largest of its kind in the United States, and of correspondingly super ior workmanship for operations on so rast a scale. The radial drill weighs some 30,000 pounds, is sixteen feet from top to base, and has a radial arm eight and one-half feet long. By means of this powerful mechanism a hole five inches in diameter can be bored and a hole drilled to the centre of a circle thirteen feet in diameter, and, though the machine is designated for secomplishing the heaviest description of work, it is so constructed that one knan can operate it. There is mechan ism for moving the radial arm, and the head is moved by a spiral gearing with a quick and easy motion. The - machina is alsoadapted to giving from three to ten different speds.-Detroit Free Press. Cotton Manufacturing. An interesting discovery has been miade by two young chemists of Lon don which will doubtless have a very important bearing on the manufacture of cotton. Cotton waste is trans formed by a new process into nitrate of cellulose, and cotton fabrics can be covered with a solution of it which w'.11 add materially to the weight, streng-,h and value of the material. Thin, lightweight fabrics can be filled up with thispreparation, which costs little more than sizing -and fuller's earth. I The cellulose thus prepared is also ap plcbeto many different purposes.' Th otis very little more .than the raw material, being cheap and the p rocess of manufacture inexpensive. -- New York Witness I Wanted to KnoW How. fi Mr. Oswald has the reputation of being the "hardest fighter" at the London bar, says Truth.

'he Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Instle tute of Buffalo, N. Y. From the Boton Herald. What can be accomplished by jadicious en-. erprise when backed up by ability and pro essional skill, is shown by the nagnificent >uilding of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical nstitute at Buffalo. This model sanitar um furnishes one of the sights of Buffalo, not Lone for its architectural beauty, but on ac :unt of the world-wide fame of Dr. Ray V. - >ierce, who established the Institution many ears ago, and is to-day its managing director Lnd president. A beautiful five-story build ug situated on Main Streetthe principal busi iess street of Buffalo, the Invalids' Hotel can vell be said to surpass any instit-+ion of its uind in the country. Sixteen phyicians form the medical staff of his Institution, who devote their time to the iatients in the building, and to correspon ience by letter with patients who consult. hem from all over the United States. ,Each A bhysician or surgeon is chosen for his skill Lnd proficiency in curing one class of chronic Lisease. Thus the patient has for his physician mu experienced specialist who is thoroughly amillar with the case. A material aid to the nedical treatmeit are the machines for giving 'mechanical movements," or masnge, elec rical apparatus, Turkish baths, etc., with which the Hotel is thoroughly equipped. arge and airy rooms, parlors, reading rooms, ,levator, and many other conveniences make his A PLYJANT REMEDIAL 8O3E, Ld far different from the private hospitals as ommonly known. The World's Dispensary edical Association, of which Dr. Pierce is President, is the owner of the Invalids' Hotel Ld the large laboratory, called the World's Dispensar, as well. Standin on the same ot. which runs through to the next street ack, is the huge laboratory, six stories in iseight, which furnishes ample room for man facturing Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, Dr. ierce's Pleasant Pellets, Dr. Sage's Catairrh Remedy, Dr. Pierce's Extract of smart-Weed, yr Water Pe per. These are proprietary rem dies which hve been sold for over a quarter i f a century all over the United States, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Carloads of these nedicines are shipped every day from Buffalo CC to points East, West and South. An idea of b the extensive business carried on by this As ociation can be gained by what is said of it by the postoffice authorities at Washington, D. ., who report that this one firm spends an anally for stamps more than all the Uanks and ewspapers of Buffalo combined, or over $100, X0. The mail matter amounts to from 30,000 W to 40,000 pieces daily. The first story of the World's Dispensary building is occupied by the shipping department; the second floor is evoted to e large newspaper advertising de- I partment and the mailiny- third floor, print Lg room and bindery; fourth .oor, drugmills md r warerooms; ffth oor, bottling, wappn and packing department; on the ixth foris one of THE EsT-PLANN3ED LABORATORIESr in the country, in charge of a thoroughly scietific chemist, formerly of the Harvazd edical school laboratory.
