The Grain-O Law Suit. Rochester, N. Y., May 19, 1897.--The great $50,000 damage suit instituted by a Michigan Cereal Co. against the Gen­ esee Pure Food Co. is at an end. They settled it and took it out of court for the ridiculously small sjim of $500, and, as a practical result, Grain-O is in greater demand"!than ever. The new-piant only jusTcoinpleted is to be duplicated, so that, not only the old friends of the delicious food drink which completely takes the place of coffee, but -the new friends it is making every.day, can be supplied.

K, S. Bowman* Instructor of Katnral Science in Hartsville-Col­ lege, Cured of a Severe Illness by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale " People After Physicians Failed. From the Republican, Columbus. Ind. Prof. R. 55. Bowman, the able instructor of natural science in the famous Harts­ ville (Ind.) college, is well ijiud favorably known not only as an educator, but also as a minister of the 'gospel, as for a num­ ber Of years he,was pastor of the United Brethren Church at Charlotte, Mich., be­ fore coming to Hartsville. Some time ago he had a Severe illness, which was cured almost miraculously. A reporter, hearing of this, interviewed him regarding his experience. Prof. Bowman was in the midst of his work when the re­ porter called, but he cheerfully gave him a hearing. "A-year ago last fall," said the Profes­ sor, "I broke down with nervous, exhaus-s tion, and was unable to properly attend to my duties. I tried different physicians, but with no relief, and also used many different proprietary medicines, spending almost fifty dollars for these medicines '.uncommon to see a man, after silently enduring a struggle between his de­ sire to remain at his ease and that in­ nate chivalry which is his heritage, rise hastily, and with sort of injured air, take his place on the platform. Sometimes he is speechless; at others he gruffly remarks: "Seat, lady!" and does not so much as look at her in pass­ ing. The weary shopper sinks into the abandoned resting place with thanks In her heart, though she has no oppor­ tunity of offering them in words, and as he does not glance in her direction, she cannot ev^en look her gratitude. There is another way of offering a seat which very properly precludes ac­ knowledgment. A man retains his place until he reaches his destination; then, when he has no further use for it, he 6ffers it with ah air of great civility to some lady standing near. Such a civility deserves no thanks at all. Ilis information, which is really all lie gives, is useless. She knows that he must take his body with liim when he departs; and thus leave a vacancy. If lhore than one woman is standing, be has no right to designate which one shall profit l>y his absence. He is not. entitled to thanks, and it is just that they should be withheld. ., Wonderful in Name Only. American nomenclature is a never-- ending source of surprise and amuse­ ment to foreigners.

At the close of that season in which Sliuter, the Toole of fifty 5'ears ago, first became so universally and deserv­ edly celebrated, he was engaged for a few nights in a principal city in the north of England. It was in the coach­ ing days, and it happened that the stage in which he went down, and in which there was only an old gentleman and himself, was stopped by a single highwayman. The old gentleman pretended to be asleep, but Shuter resolved to be even with him. Accordingly, when the high­ wayman presented his pistol and com­ manded Shuter to deliver his money instantly or he was a dead man, he re­ turned: "Money!" with an idiotic shrug and a countenance inexpressibly vacant. "Oh, lor, sir, they never trust me with any, for uncle here always pays for me, turnpikes and all, your honor!" Upon which the highwayman gave him a few curses for his stupidity, com­ plimented the old gentleman with a smart slap on the face to awaken him, and robbed him of every shilling he had in his pocket, while Shuter, who did not lose a single farthing, with great satisfaction and merriment pur­ sued his journey, laughing heartily at his fellow traveler. ,. Ancient Graves. Two graves of the form called "ship" shaped ones, dating from the early iron age, have been discovered near Aal- borg, in Jutland, similar graves hav- • ing only been once before encountered in Denmark. They are built of stones in the form of a ship, the calcined ash­ es of the body being strewn at the bot­ tom. Further, nine skeletons from the late iron age have been found near Freder- ickshavn, the size of the booes indicat­ ing that they were persons of small stature. In addition, four smooth *iyngs of bronze, having, no doubt, formed a necklet, have been dug out of a peat bog in the same locality. A runic stone of great interest has been discovered at Kinneculia, in West Gotliia, Sweden, having hitherto been covered with turf. The portion un­ covered represents some ships, the fig­ ures of two men, a great number of saucer-shaped cavities, wheels, rings, and so forth, engraven on the rock, but there appears to be a great many more signs below. The crown has taken pos­ session of it, and a careful survey is being made. Different Names for AVaves. They have curiously different names for waves about the coast of Great Britain. The Peterhead folk call the large breakers that fall with a crash on the beach by the grim name of "Nor- rawa (Norway) carpenter." On the low Lincolnshire coast, as on the southwest­ ern Atlantic fronting shore of these islands, the gradually long unbroken w&ves are known as "rollers." Among East Anglians a heavy surf, tumbling In with an offshore wind, or in a calm, is called by the expressive name of a "slog;" while a well-marked swell, roll­ ing in independently of anj^lowing, is called a "home." "There is no wind," a Suffolk fisherman i,vill saf, "but a nasty home on the beach." Suffolk. men also speak of the "bark" of the surf, and a sea covered with foam is spoken of as "feather white." The foam itself is known as "spoon drift." So, in the vernacular,* we have it: "Thfe sea was all a feather white with spoon drift."--New York Marine Journal.

AN INCIDENT AT THE CITY HOSPITAL. A. Woman's Life Barely Saved by a Critical Operation--Her TToqith «... - Destroyed. Men's Longest &ig?ht. During Dr. Nanseu's Arctic journey his ship, the Frani, remained for five and a half months, from Oct. 8, 1895, •until March 24,1896, out of sight of the sun. "This," Dr. H. R. Mill, the En­ glish geographer, remarks, "was the longest and darkest night ever expe­ rienced by man." The Longest Ocean Cable. The new transatlantic cable, which is to be laid between Brest and New York during -the coming summer, will, it is said, be the longest in existence. The length will be 3,250 nautical miles, and the total weight of the cable with its envelope is estimated at 11,000 tons. Four large ships are to, be employed in stretching it across the ocean's bottom. Horses in Massachusetts. It is rather an odd facts that the an­ nual census of horses in Massachusetts shows an increase during last year of 3,085. r There was a hurry eall for the ambulance of the City Hospital. In the course of an hour a very sick young woman was brought in on a stretcher. She was pale as death and evidently suffering keen agony. There was a hasty exam ination and a consultation.

G. Perry in 1869, and his patent, No. S0,5S4, for an improved reaper, showed and described various ways of using roller and ball bearings in harvesters. Unquestionably the most practical and satisfactory application of roller hearings to binders and mowers has been made by the McCormick Harvesting Machine Com­ pany. The particular form used by them was patented in 18S2 and is now to be found in all McCormick machines. The especially valuable feature of the Me- : Buckingham's Dye for the Whiskers is. a popular preparation in one bottle, and colors evenly a bnwVu or black. Any per­ son -can easily apply it at home.

Fast Trains. .• According to a European".authority, only two regular express trains on the continent of Europe, one running'from Paris to Nice and the other from Os- tend through Germany to the Russian frontier at Eydtkuhnen, average so much as tliirty-eight and a half miles per hour. The same authority esti­ mates the average express speed be­ tween New York and Chicago at about forty-eight and a third tmiles per hour, almost ten miles faster than the best European time. • Insects' Senses. Darwin and other naturalists have believed that the bright colors of flow­ ers serve to attract insects. Prof. Pla­ teau of Ghent disagrees with this opin­ ion, and thinks that the sense of smell is the one chiefly concerned in causing insects to frequent certain flowers. He finds that the removal of the brilliant petals of flowers to which insects are accustomed to resort does not decrease the frequency of their visits, and on the other hand, that when honey is placed on flowers which are naturally scent­ less, insects immediately begin to flock to them. Whale-Killinc witli Electricity. A Canadian sea-captain has invented an apparatus with which he thinks whales can be killed by electric shock. A harpoon is fixed at the end of a long metallic cable, properly insulated, and which serves in place of the usual rope. Through this cable an Electric current of 10,000 volts is to be sent by means of a dynamo carried in the whale-boat. The inventor believes that no whale would be able to withstand the shock it would receive, the instant the harpoon entered its side.

PROF. R. s. BOWMAN alone. I then succumbed to a siege of the grip in the middle of winter, and was left in a much worse condition. My kidneys were fearfully disordered, and my diges­ tion became very poor. I was indeed in a bad condition. "A minister in conference learning of my coiidition advised me to try Dr. Wil­ liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. 1 had heard much about the wonderful curative powers of this medicine, but it was with reluctance that I was finally persuaded to try it, as it seemed that nothing could do me any good. However, I procured three boxes of pills and took them strictly ac­ cording to directions. By the time the last dose was taken I was almost cured, and in better health than I had been for years. I continued using the pills awhile longer and was entirely cured. 1 call cheerfully recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." Such was Prof. Bowman's wonderful story, which was further indorsed by the following affidavit: , Hartsville, Ind., March 1(5, 1897. I affirm that the above accords with the facts in my case. R. S.

A Failure. A certain professor • in one of the leading schools of Nashville was not long since desirous of incorporating souie negro dialect In a story lie was preparing, says the American of that city. Not being very well versed in their "manner of speech, he bethought him that it would be a good idea to study the language in its purity unde- 11 led. With this end in view he betook himself to the vicinity of the Union de- l«ot, near which representatives of the ebon race are always to be found. Oue effort was enough. Meeting a coal-black negro driving a wagon rath­ er well loaded, and accosting him as "Uncle John," the following brief dia­ logue ensued: "Pretty heavy load, uncle. Can you .get up the hill with itV" "1 do not know, sir, but I presume so." Such an example of English coining from such an unexpected source almost paralyzed the professor, who retraced his s.teps to his apartments, Because the nerve; are B A a B weak and easily excited 11^ • and1 the body is in a J feverish ::nd unhealthy condition.

Cormick roller bearing is seen in the-form --or cage as it is called--which holds the rollers from running together, and if for any cause the <?age is taken from the shaft the rollers will not fall out and get lost. The methods of the McCormick Com­ pany result in an annual saving of many thousands of dollars to the farming pub­ lic. New devices are not embodied in their machines until long and oft repeated (rials have shown .them to be practical. It has been fhe same with roller bearings as with everything else--McCormick ex­ perimenting is done at McCormick ex- pense, and not at the expense of the farm­ ers, who are too often duped by manufac­ turers who rush into print for notoriety and bull the market with impractical forms. Density of Newfoundland Fog. A Newfoundland fog is frequently so thick that for the bowsprit of a vessel to be seen emerging from the mist while not a trace of the masts or hull is perceptible is as common as is the spectacle of a vessel the topmasts of which are basking in the sunshine while the crew below cannot see from stem to stern. Drunk lor Twenty k'ears. A correspondent writes: "I was drunk on and off for over twenty years, drunk when I h«d money, sober when I had none. Many dear friends I lost, and num­ bers gave me good advice to no purpose; but. thank God, an angel hand came at last in the form of my poor wife, who ad­ ministered your marvelous remedy, 'Anti- .l:iK.' to me without my knowledge or con­ sent. 1 am now saved and completely transformed from a worthless fellow to a sober and respected citizen." t If "Anti-Jag" cannot be had at your druggist, it will be mailed in plain wrapper with full directions how to give secretly, on receipt of One Dollar, by the Renova Chemical Co.. 00 i_>roadway, New York, or they will gladly mail full particulars free.

It is said that the favorite sport of the Siamese is fish-fighting. So popu­ lar is it that, according to the Fish Trades Gazette, the King of Siani de­ rives a considerable revenue from the license fees exacted for the privilege of keeping fighting fish. The fish are described as being long and slender, "not thicker than a child's finger," and very ferocious. The moment they are placed together in a vessel of water they dart at one another, and the on­ lookers become so excited over the' con­ test that they wager anything they have at hand on the success of their favorite fish. Bursting: Steel. An experiment which demonstrated the capacity of steel to endure greater pressure than the hardest stone was recently made at Vienna. Corundum was chosen for the stone, and small cubes of both substances were placed under pressure. A weight of 8lf\y tons smashed the corundum, but forty-two tons were required to crash the steel. When the steel did give way, the ef­ fects are described as most remarka­ ble. With a loud explosion, the metal flew into powder, and its sparks are said to have bored minute holes iu the crushing machine. The Indians' Pipe Quarry. In Southwestern Minnesota is a cele­ brated quarry w-here the Indians have., for centuries obtained a soft red stone' out of which they carve pipes. The quarry belongs to\he Sioux, to whom it was ceded by the United States Gov­ ernment forty years ago. Mr. A. H. Gottscliall says this is the only place In America, and probably in the world, where this particular kind of stone is found. Many tribes of the red men formerly resorted, to the quarry, and the pipestone seems to have been an ar­ ticle of commerce among them, for it has been found in Indian graves scat­ tered all the way from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. It has also been found as far west as the Rocky moun­ tains, and in British America. ElWtric Kicycle Light., A St. Louis inventor has patented a device by means of which a bicycle rider may furnish himself with an elec­ tric headlight, the, necessary current being generated by the revolution of the wheels of the machine. A governor is provided which keeps the current substantially uniform, so that the light does not die out if the speed is reduced, df?-blaze too brilliantly when the speed is increased. By throwing the shaft that rotates the armature into gear as darkness comes on, the wheelman at once provides himself with a light; but ,of course he has to work for it. as it is his own muscles that form the source of the energy from which the electric current is developed. Courtesy a Duty. While admitting a tendency on the part of many women to accept all cour­ tesies, from the opposite sex as a right, some of the statements made under this ,liead have been greatly exaggerated. It has been said that women habitually accept an offered seat in a public con­ veyance without thanks. That some women.are thus discourteous, it is true; but the cases are exceptional. There is another side to the story, as there Is to most stories. There are ways of of­ fering a seat which hopelessly preclude thanks, and may expose the recipient of the attention, If attention It can be termed, to misconstruction.

When a wasp catches a fly it immedi­ ately bites off both wings, sometimes a leg or' two, and occasion-ally-the bead. M-r. Harrington saw some of the wasps when-laden with one fly catch another, without letting go the first, and then fly away with both. There was a constant stream of wasps carrying away .flies, probably to feed the larvae in their nests, and returning again to the cows to catch more. In- about twenty min­ utes Mr. Barring-ton estimated that be­ tween .ICO and 400 flies were caught on two cows lying close to where he stood. Perhaps this narrative of good deeds accomplished will lead people to think more leniently of the vices of the wasp. ANDY CATHARTIC A #t\ 600 Second Hand Wheels. Alt FT W MAKES.
