on the other side of tho Tay, he im-

before his arrest on

he spoke hc offered to give tho physi-
eian $100 just for coming to sec him,
imagining that he was a friend on a
visit. IIc also turned to the reporter,
with whom he shook hands as though
He had been acquainted with him for
years. He wound up the very cx-
huberant greeting by promising the
reporter a gold watch and a gold col-
lar button. "Come again and I will
have a little reception for you here,"
the patient said as tho physician went
morsed two similar plates. The two
plates on the north side wore connec-
ted with the two poles of a strong
galvanic battery; those on the south
side wore connected by a wire passing
through a coll that would move a mag-
netic needle in case a current passed
through it. Matters being thus ar-
ranged, a key in the lino on the bat-
tery side of tho Tay could be made awa^'
to give signals on the other side, the! "W'f '9 '"s sPoc,fic trou,'Ic?"

of joy, and can readily be picked out
of a croud of lunatics by a lay visitor
by their excessive and unnatural

sheets are the better. In his experi-

ployed a battery liavicg four square
feet of zinc; thc immersed sheets lia 1
ninety square feet of sufnee, and the
"lateral distance," or the distance
between thc sheets on either side,
was nearly a mile. With a battery

THE L'UST O? StitiEKS -
The fall strikes this year have been
singularly unfortunate for the work-
ingmen. Here and there, they have
gained minor victories, but with
these few exceptions, it has been one
long-continued season of disasters and
losses for them. They have achiev-
ed nothing of importance, and they
have lost much.
Tho strike season commenced in
Boston, some months ago, where the
piano-makers opened battle on the
question of tho employment of non-
union men. After a struggle of
six weeks, in which tiiey lost in wages
J 162,000, and the employers lost in
business twice as much, they surren-
dered and returned to work on the
old terms.
Then came tho big strike of the
cotton spinners, which, commencing
at Fall River, Mass., soon spread
over tho entire cotton manufacturing
country. This strike, which was be-
gun in Juno, is still in existence, hav-
ing continued nearly four months,
during which time 14,000 persons
have been out oí employment, for-
feiting wages to thc amount of $1,-
344,000.
The freight handlers' strike of
New York threw 8000 men out of
employment, losing them 1,152,000
in wages, and injuring the commerce
and business of the city, it has been
estimated, as much as 824,000,000.
Tho other leading strikes were—
tho iron workers, 18,000 in number,
forfeiting $2,300^000 in wages; tho
stone cutters, 500 strong, losing
$215,000 in wages; 700 glass-blow-
ers and potters, with 8265,000 in
wages and 7000 miners, with $340,-
000 in wages.
The result of these stikcs, there-
fore, is a net loss of over $6,000,000
to the laborers, of probably twice as
much to the employers and of 30,-
000,000 to the general public and
other lines of business, whose work
has been interrupted or interfered
with by these lockouts. No one
has gained anything by them, and it
has been a dead Joss of labor and
production to the country.
The strike period is probably over
for the year, for the workingmen now
understand that the season is not fa-
vorable for labor movements of any
kind.

Dear Bro. Meek, Ed. "Central
Melhoclist,'' Caticttsburg, Ky. I sec
in the last Central that you want a
remedy for sick headache: If you
will use a remedy that j'ou advertise
in your paper every week, I am sure
you will be greatly benefitted there-
by and, I believe, cured. I have
been a suffer from sick keadechc, I
can say almost from infancy, and
have tried every remedy, I could
get, and never found anything to do
mo any good until I used Simmons
Liver Kegulator, prepared by J. H.
Zeilin & Co. I feel for any on that
suffers with that terrible disease, and
I hope 3'ou will givo it a trial.
