An Iron Eating Worm.
A German paper name not
given quoted by the Iron and
Coal Trades Review of London,
England, tells a story, which, how
ever improbable, seems to have
every appearance of truth. The
account is given as follows: The
existence has just been discovered
of a detestable microbe which
feeds upon iron with as much
gluttony as the phylloxera upon
the vine. Some time ago the
greatest consternation existed
among the engineers employed on
the railway at Hagen by the acci
dents occurring all at the same
place, proving that some terrible
defect must exist either in the ma
terial or construction of the rails.
The German government directed
an inquiry to be made and a com
mission of serveillance to be form
ed for the purpose of maintaining
constant watch at the point where
the accidents had occured. It was
not, however, until after six
months had elapsed that the dis
covery was made. One of the em
ployes bad observed that the sur
face of the rails appeared to be
corroded, as if by accid, to the ex
tent of 100 yards. The rail was
taken up and broken, and it was
perceived that it was literally hol
lowed out by a thin gray worm, to
which the qualification of "railov
erous" was assigned, and by which
name it is to be classed in natural
history. The worm is said to be
two centimeters in length, and of
the 6ize of the prong of a silver
fork in circumference. It is of a
light-gray color, and on the head
carries two little glands filled with
a corrosive secretion, which is
ejected every ten minutes upon
the iron. This liquid renders the
iron soft and spongy, and of the
color of rust, and it is then greed
ily devoured by the insect. "There
is no exaggeration," says the offi
cial report of the calamity, "in the
assertion that this creature, for its
size, is one of the most voracious
kind, for it has devoured thirty-six
kilograms of rails in a fortnight!"
Mining and Scientific Press, San
Francisco.
Mr. Wattersen Inilornes Him.
Mr. Henry Watterson concludes
an editorial letter in the Louis
ville Courier-Journal on the ad
ministration of President Cleve
land as follows: "He is an honest
man. He is a plain, direct man.
He has shown himself a courageous
man. As a watch-dog of the treas
ury, he is not like the little mous
ing terrier in Congress who affects
that office, but a great, shaggy
Fido, who saves the money of the
people by the barrel and protects
the acres ot the people by the mil
lion. He has plenty of horse
sense, and has learned more the
last two years than he knew in all
his life before. If the country
goes any further for a President
it will surely fare worse. He will
be re-nominated, and I think re
elected, and the people can say
they retained him, as Parson
Primrose 6aid of the wife whom he
had chosen, as she had chosen her
wedding-gown, 'not for a fine
glossy appearance, but for those
qualities that wear well.' "
An intelligent professional man
had long been troubled with an in
active liver, which caused him a
world of pain. A friend advised
him to take a glass of hot water
with the juice of half a lemon
squeezed into it, but no sugar,
night and morning. He tried it,
and found himself better almost
immediately. His daily headaches,
which medicine had failed to cure,
left him; his appetite improved,
and he gained several pounds
within a few weeks.
Why is it that crying babies are
allowed to ride in passenger cars,
while well-behaved dogs are re
legated to the baggage car, is . al
most enough to puzzle a sevon-thonsand-dollar
Inter-State Com
rnerco Commissioner,
cloths and blanks for self measurement to any address.
SHIRTS,
Sumner's Physical Wreatness.
Mr. Sumner utood six feet two
inches high without his shoes, and
he was so well built that his height
was only noticeable when he was
near a person of ordinary size.
But there was.a manner about him,
a free swing of the arm, a stride,
a pose of his shaggy head, a sway
of his broad shoulders, that gave
to those who knew him best the
idea that he was of heroic size.
Then, too, there was something in
the intent look of his deep-set eyes,
his corrugated brow, the frown
born of intense thought, and his
large head, made to seem yet
larger by its crown of thick, heavy,
longish gray hair, all of which
gave the idea of physical great
ness; but with his frequent smile
the set frown passed, his whole
appearance changed, and his face
became like a dark-lantern sud
denly lighted. His smile effected
a wonderful transformation in his
whole appearance, and it set up a
peculial sympathy between himself
and its recipient.
For one of his sedentary habits.
he had extraordinary strength, and
yet he was not an athlete. While
in Washington his only exercise
was walking, and as he believed
that it was the pace rather than
the distance which tells, when op
portunity offered he would go at
a rate that amazed beholders.
Some persons attempting to join
and keep up with him only suc
ceeded by taking an occasional
hop, skip and jump, such as chil
dren practice when walking with
their parents. Up to the time of
his injuries he walked much in
Washington, for, as he said, he
could outwalk omnibuses, and give
them long odds. Arnold Burges
in The Cosmopolitan.
The following from one of our
exchanges so fully and clearly ex
presses our views of the subject
that we copy it without comment:
"You have an undoubted right to
stop a newspaper when you feel
disposed, upon payment of arrear
ages. Do not hesitate to do so on
account of the 'tenderness of feel
ing' for the editor. Don't you sup
pose he would stop buying sugar
of you, or meat, clothing or dry
goods, if he thought he was not
getting his money's worth, or de
sired to patronize some otner con
cern? And why should you not
exercise the same privilege with
regard to him? And when you
discontinue a paper, do so man
fully. Don't be so spiteful as to
throw it back to the postmaster
with a contemptuous 'I don't want
if. any longer!' and have 'refused'
written on the margin, and have
the paper returned to the editor.
No gentleman ever stopped it in
that way no matter if his head is
covered with gray hair that should
be honorable. If you do not wish
to longer receive a newspaper,
write a note to the editor like a
man, saying so and be sure that
the arrearages are paid. This is
the only way to stop a newspaper.
"Patsy, oi've been insulted.
Micky Doolan called me a liar,"
said an excited Irishman.
"An' phwat are yez goin' to do
about it?"
"I don't know. Phwat would ye
do, av ye were me?"
"Well, Dmny, I think Oi'd tell
the troot' oftener." Washington
Critic.
A man in Nebraska has invented
a new fly-trap. He saturated a
blanket with coal oil and hung it
up in his house. When it was
covered with flies he set it on fire.
Blanket and flies burned splen
didly, but it is reported that the
inventor has had some difficulty
since in finding Lis house.
A Dubuque grocer named' Scott
offered to let a woman named Tay
lor strike him with a codfish for
twenty-five cents. It was all a
joke, you know, but she paid the
money, gave the codfish a whirl or
two, and when it hit grocer Scott
it broke his jaw and tore off part
of his ear.

Eight Important Ifnli'S.
Pasted over the desk of the city
editor of a Georgia paper are the
following instructions:
"All brides are lovely, beautifuJ
and accomplished, except they be"
old and tough widows, and then;
they are amiable and cultivated.
"All merchants who advertise'
are enterprising, wide-awake and
a credit to our city. The names
of those who do not advertise must'
not appear in our paper.
"All old lawyers are able and
worthy a place on the Supreme'
Bench. Young lawyers are prom
ising and silver-tounged.
"Conductors on passenger trains5
are gentlemanly and courteous.
"Doctors are eminent.
"Farmers are intelligent. '
"Candidates who put their an
nouncements in our paper are
gaining ground every day. Those'
who do not announce are likely ttf
be defeated. j
"Under no circumstances must'
these rules be broken. F. Med
dleton Pryor, editor and proprie- .
tor." Arkansaw Traveler.
It is a singular fact that the"
United States, while fetrong in re
sources, is entirely dependent up-'
on foreign countries for the gold'
and tinsel which is used in decor
ating her officers of the army and
navy when on dress parade.- A
military officer, no matter whaf
flag he fights under, must have tt
certain amount of glitter about his
shoulders or he cannot do justice"
to the government which employs
him. .Epaulets and shoulder knots''
are as essential to a well regulated
army or navy as are the guns and
ammunition uaed on- the enemy".
Yet, in spite of the fact that there"
are 6000 or 8000 officers in the
United States who must have gold
cord, gold lace and gilded epaulets,
there is not a single manufactory
in the country where this "war
material" can be made. Boston
Advertiser.
Newspaper advertising is ad- '
mittedly far more effective than;
any other. It reaches further and
finds access to more people. The?
article published by one newspa
per is printed by others and has
the benefit of all these different
circulations. The prosperity of
communities, like that of tho suc
cessful merchant, is advanced by
judicious advertising. The news
paper can be made of the greatest
value to any community. It speaks1
at once to thousands. Each day"
it is penetrating all parts of the"
United States, either to its sub
scribers or its hundreds of ex
changes. From its columns other'
newspapers throughout the UnioQ
are daily making extracts. East,.

A young couple in Dakota re--
ceieved the following: "From
groom to bride, one bull pup, one1
yaller dog, pair of water spaniels,
and a pure meerschaum pipe with
tobacco; from bride to groom, one-
good shotgun, one1 bowie knife,-
rifle and three dogs; from parents
of bridegroom, one fiddle, one
banjo, spotted pup and six pounds
of tobacco; from the Shotgun Club,,
of which the young couple were
members, one English mastiff and
a pair of silver-mounted pistols.
Ref erring to these gifts, the Da
kota Snnflowei remarks: "It is1
seldom that a young couple start
out in life so well equipped for
perfect happiness, and Jock and
Jule have the best wishes of this
office.
"John, I wish you'd rock the1.
baby."
"What'll I rock the baby for?"
"Because he's not very well; and;
what's more, half of him belongs'
to you and you should not object
to rocking him."
"Well, don't half belong to
you?"
"Yes."'
"Well, you can rock your halJ
and let mv half holler.'' Puck
