Farewell O'd Year, Welcome New Year. Last night we bid farewell to the old year of 1908 and this morning we greet the New Year of 1909 and now may it be a year of plenty, a year of peace, a year of prosperity, a year of advancement, a year of development along all lines, while the year just past past has showed great achievements yet this coming year ought to bring forth still greater human achievements, the World's Peace Conference bearing its fruits, the Panama Canal nearing completion, the consolidation of the two America's, the inauguration of William H. Taft, President of the U. S, the crowning of the new Chinese Emporer; and with the various national conferences between the two races last year ought to place the people in a far better position to advance more this new year. With this view in mind we extend a Happy New Year" to our readers. Colored Prize Fighter Champion of the World. Last week the great heavy weight prize fight for a $30,000 purse and Heavyweight championship of the world came off in Sidney, Australia, between R. Burns, the world's champion and Jack Johnson the American Negro from Texas. The Colored man in the 14th., round having completely whipped Mr. Burns. Peter Jackson a few years ago tied the World's Championship with Sullivan, and then Sullivan refused to fight him again drawing the color line therefore Mr. Johnson is the undisputed World's Champion heavy weight fighter. Only give Ethiopia a chance and true merit will win. LABOR LEADERS FOUND GUILTY. Last week the court at Washington, D. C., found Eugene V. Debs, James Mitchell and F. Morrison guilty of contempt of the charge of contempt of court, injunctions in which the Buck Stove Co., has secured an injunction forbidding them using their name and for this violation the court sentenced each to the penitentiary. Those leaders had gone too far, they had violated the majesty of the law and like any other violators should be punished, while the labor union has done much good for the working men yet they have not treated the Colored labor fair or just, they always evaded him, opposed him on joining the union until he became an important factor in the labor world, then they were forced to take him and even now they do not treat him fairly. Uniqism will not or ought not to succeed in getting justice until she herself practices justice to all labor. Ye must first do equity, before you ask equity, treat the black labor fairly then unionism will flourish. SIOUX CITY ITEMS.

Peculiar Spook That Has Struck Terror to Farmer Folk. The horseback riding ghost is the very latest variety that has appeared in Bowdinham, and he is a particular spirit, making visitations only at certain times. The hunter's ghost, they call him, and the big man on the big white horse who comes galloping down the Lisbon road on the full o' the moon right up to the side door of Sunny Crest farm strikes terror to the heart of the farmer folk as he raps smartly with his riding whip on the panels of the door. Whenever one appears in the room, the ghost tells the story wheels round and disappears at a gallop, turning into old woods road much used in revolutionary times by the soldiers of that storm period. Ghost of the old Cap'n, they call him, connecting this horseback riding spook with a certain officer of unsavory fame who once haunted the district of Maine. It is on the road where the rides abroad, and nervous people on the Lisbon road are much disturbed by this galloping horseman—Lewiston Journal. A FEW OF LIFE'S PARADOXES. All True, Though at First They Seem to Read Rear Odd. Peace we secure by armaments, liberty by laws and constitutions, simplicity and naturalness are the consummate result of artificial breeding and training; health, strength and wealth are increased only by lavish use, expense and wear. Our mistrust of mistrust engender our commonness and our tolerance of revolutionary utterances is the only way of lessening their danger; our charity has to say no to bagaras in order not to defeat its own desires; the true epicurean has to observe great sobriety; the way to certainly lies through radical doubt; virtue signifies not innocence but the knowledge of sin and its overcoming. The ethical and religious life are full of contradictions held in solution. You hate your enemy?—well forgive him, and thereby heap coal of fire on his head; to realize your self, renounce your desire; to be short, die to live.—Prot. William James, in Hibbert Journals! _____ Ancient Uses of Bloodhounds. Although the use of bloodhounds for tracking criminals still arrives, another ancient use of these dogs seems to have died out. Bloodhounds were at one time often called upon to assist an army in the field, the forces with which the earl of Easle suppressed the Irish rebellion in the time of Eilean Dhomhairn, who being by 800 dogs, in the Scottish clan founds and the wars between England and Scotland bloodhounds were regularly employed in tracking fugitive warriors, and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this manner. Wallace is said to have baffled his pursuers by killing a follower and leaving the corpse for the hound to find, while Bruce adopted the less cruel plan of wading some distance down a stream and ascending a tree which overwater the water. Success. "He has achieved success who has lived long, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men, and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty nor failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction."—Bessie A. Stanley. Blindness "There are various degrees, and kinds of blindness, widow. There is the connubial blindness, ma'am, which perhaps you may have observed in the course of your own experience, and which is a kind of willful and self-damaging blindness: There is the blindness of party, ma'am, and public men, which is the blindness of I mad but I mad, and the negligence of foolish clothed in red. There is the blind confidence of youth, which is the blindness of young kittens, whose eyes have not yet opened on the world."—Charles Dickens. Curious Mexican Indians. Buried in the heart of a civilized, powerful and progressive foreign people, a little handful of Indians have lived for 300 years and have contrived to keep during all that time their national characteristics, their traditions and their individuality. If you seek them you will find them in Amatlan de los Reyes, a village in the state of Vera Cruz, Mexico. They are the matriarch. The matriarchs are perhaps the only people in the republic who have succeeded in retaining for themselves what is practically self-government. Willing to Oblige "When you feel any temptations comin' along," said the friend and adviser, "you mus' say: 'Get thee behin' me, Satan." "Da' what I done said," answered Mr. Eratus Pinkley, "an den I'magine I hyuha Satan answer me back; 'Da' all rihkri, 'give me gwine so dif'uces on ane an' it doun so dif'uces to me which kade de obsession." LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION The increased use of "Toris" for lame back and rheumatism is causing considerable discussion among the medical fraternity. It is an almost infallible cure when mixed with certain other ingredients and taken properly: "To one-half pint of oilwhey" or "To one-half pint of whiskey" add one ounce of Toris Compound and one ounce Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take in tablespoonful doses before each meal and before retiring. Toris compound is a product of the laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceutical Co., Chicago, but it as well as the other ingredients can be had from any good druggist. EVENLY MATCHED. Magistrate (to witness)—And where were you when this assault occurred? Witness—Just across the street, your honor. Magistrate—Then why didn't you go to the plaintiff's assistance when you saw him attacked? Witness—Falx, I wasn't sure then that he wouldn't be the defendant, your honor. Youthful Confidence There is a period in every child's life when he feels himself master of some profession. A little boy of this particular age—10 years old—was noticed making great efforts at his drawing. "What are you drawing, dear?" his mother asked him? "A picture of God," was his ready reply. "But, my dear, no one knows just what God looks like," said the mother softly and with an air of reproach. "They will after they see this," confidently answered this young prodigy. Rug Industry Has Suffered Hug Industry Has Suffered. Persia's rug industry has suffered materially as a result of the opening of Tahrir Tahrir and other Persian cities. The difficulties of transportation on the highways of Persia and the lessened American demand for luxuries have contributed in no small measure to the depressed condition of the Persian rug trade. Prices have fallen recently by one-third and rug exports have fallen by one-half. Labor there now commands only between five and ten cents a day. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, one much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally destructive. Protected attention was given to the craftsmanship being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work.

September sixteenth. My wife not well and strangely indulged towards me yawning unduly and gay explaining that life is dull, yet gay enough for others and of a great joy over riding horseback with Lasselle. To my office and H. Nevill all excitement over his margins. October twenty-ninth. Returned this day from a trip to the coast and find my wife no better than the doctor hath been with her each day. She saith the doctor adviseth quiet until spring. November sixth. My wife most nervous and there being no peace with her did discuss the same with Lasselle to-day and although unmarried yet did sympathize much and advise for me with a right good will telling me of a place in southern France where he had been and the same beyond all else for the nerves only lonely but that no so bad he proposeth golg there this winter himself and can see after my wife some distance and only to my relief and so home and did discourse thereon with Mistress Badminton the which drew a long face and plain to see was dead against the plae the which putting me in a fine temper with what a woman hath for brains. Wheat rising and A. B. & C. going down comes H. Nevill short to borrow the which crowneth my fury his niece being so far from making me happy and he being the cause of all.

But that which doth astonish me much is that H. Neville tellle me that she that was once my wife is of exceeding content with Lasselle a piece of news which I can scarce credit comparing him with myself. Plant for Cooling Oranges. There is an experimental plant for the pre-cooling of oranges in cars at Los Angeles, Cal. It consists of two 30-inch square insulated ducts leading from an ammonia colloform capable of supplying from 16 to 20 tons of refrigeration in 24 hours. The cold air is forced in either direction through the car and back to the colloform by a motor fan. In experiments, says Popular Mechanics, the air was varied from 10 degrees F. when water cooled cars to higher temperatures. The air is forced through the cars at different velocities and in volume varying from 4,500 to 6,000 cubic feet a minute. Enormous Amount Paid in Pensions. The total amount of pensions paid by the United States between 1866 and 1908, inclusive, was $3,654,663,364.42, and the cost, maintenance and expenses of the organization for the payment of these pensions during the same period were $122,574,462.86, a total of $3,777,237,282.38, exceeding the amount of money in circulation in this country in 1907 by more than $1,120,000,000—Army and Navy Life PROMINENT PEOPLE QUITS ACTIVE SERVICE Rear Admiral John E. Pillsbury, U. S. N., who was placed on the retired list the other day, having reached the age limit of 62 years, is one of the most popular officers among the rank and that ever wore a naval officers' uniform. Pillsbury is to-day the recognized authority on hydrographic and geodetic work. In the United States navy, and his works on currents, etc., are so thorough and comprehensive that they are the standard text books on the subjects the world over. He, too, has the honor of being one of the few personal appointees of President Lincoln. He was also important to the youngster to be permitted to go to the front, appointed him a midshipman. His first duty as an enlistment was at the Charlestown denied three years. After three more years on the armed to the work in which he became famous, his last survey work was in 1875.

YOUNG RETIRES navy yard, where he remained three years. After three more years on the Asiatic station he was assigned to the work in which he became famous. His first command in coast survey work was in 1875. He at once attracted world-wide attention, and his special knowledge in matters relating to that branch of naval science won instant recognition. He continued on hydrographic and coast survey work for 15 years. He was also the first to direct the commissioning and outfitting of the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius at the local yard, and as that craft's commander, took her to Cuba. The operations of the Vesuvius and its value in the Cuban campaign are matters of history. In 1906 he became the chief of staff for Rear Admiral Barker and subsequently for Rear Admiral "Tob" Evans with the Atlantic fleet, was last year again a member of the general war board, had the honor of declining the appointment of superintendent of the naval academy, and in January of this year he was appointed chief of the bureau of navigation to succeed Rear Admiral Browninson. Rear Admiral Pillbury, who gained the flag rank in 1906, was appointed captain and was available in the office of chief of the bureau of navigation that last week President Roosevelt asked him to continue the duties as a retired officer until March 4 next, at least, and Rear Admiral Pillbury compiled with the request. GEN. YOUNG RETIRES Gen. S. B. M. Young, until a short time ago the dashing lieutenant general of the United States army and who retired with that honor, has resigned as superintendent of the Yellowstone park, the big government reservation in Wyoming. The resignation took effect January 1, when Gen. Young retired to private life. The military record of Gen. Young is one of the most brilliant in the history of the United States and his success was achieved only by the courage of his men. He never knew what the word defeat meant. As a tactician in army maneuvers he was without a peer, and it was for this reason that he was placed at the head of the army college. Gen. Young first entered the army as a private in the Twelfth Pennsylvania volunteers, captain of the company. A year later he was prostrer.

A year later he was promoted to the grade of major. His advancement for meritorious and brave conduct in action was fast, until the end of the war, and when he was mustered out of the service he held the rank of colonel. He was also brevetted brigadier general for conspicuous gallantry. When the civil war was over he entered the regular army, and his wonderful record on the western frontier in squelching many Indian uprisings with cavalry forces are bright shining spots in his brilliant career. Upon the outbreak of the Spanish war Col. Young was given the rank of brigadier general of volunteers and assigned to duty at Las Guasimas, Cuba, where the first battle of the Rough Riders took place, and where President Roosevelt distinguished himself. Before the close of the war, when Hugh had been honored with the rank of major general, he which rank died in the volunteer army in 1890. He was made a brigadier general in the regular army and sent to the Philippines. Then followed the daring and successful campaign in Luzon, conducted under the direction of Gen. Young, whose cavalry scattered and broke up the insurgent organizations effectively. Upon his return from the Phillipsburg Gen. Young was promoted to major general to succeed Gen. Nelson A. Miles, and selected by Secretary Root to be the president of the war college. He will make his home in the national capital. MAYOR OF HONOLULU Joseph James Fern, first mayor of Honolulu, capital of Hawaii, comes of a family that ought to delight President Roosevelt's heart. He was the fourteenth child in his father's family, and he himself, two months ago, became the father of his fourteenth child. Ten of his children survive—five boys and five girls. His oldest sister is the mother of 15 children, and he has a brier who is the father of 15. Including brothers and sisters, unclea and aunts and cousins, there are 148 living persons of the Fern blood in the Hawaiian islands. The patriarch and progenitor of this clan was James Fern, an Englishman who had fought under the English in the wars of Napoleon who was a veteran of the battle of Waterloo. He came to the Sandwich islands, as they were the death of Kamehameha the Great. He brought hies won under Wellington, and these long re- for many years in the operating departments of maister, having entire charge of the hiring and and stevedore forces.

He brought with him medals and trophies won under Wellington, and these long remained in the family. Mayor Fern has been for many years in the operating departments of steamship companies as paymaster, having entire charge of the hiring and discharge of the steamship and stevedore forces. The mayor is something of a linguist. His mother tongue is Hawaiian, but in addition he speaks English and Portuguese and during the campaign he made speeches in all three. For the past two years Mayor Fern has been a member of the board of supervisors of Cahu county. The county and county of Honolulu is the successor of the county of Oahu, so that Mr. Fern does not come wholly inexperienced to his new duties. BLUFFED CASTRO GOVERNMENT Thomas P. Moffatt, consul of the United States at LaGuayra, Venezuela, has added some what to the pewishness of the late Castro administration down in that country of comic opera revolutions by declining to make Uncle Sani's consulate a toy of the native administration. When the plague-striken port of LaGuayra was shut off from the outside world to prevent the spread of the disease, thereby working some damage upon the commercial part of the city, the local board of health proceeded to carry out a plan to lift the embargo. A document was drawn up and signed by the local officials in which it was emphatically stated that "the health of LaGuayra was perfect" and that the closing of the port was merely a mistake that. When this precious document was present officials located by the different governments argued it, they gave their official support to a be spread abroad to the trading world outside, declined to attach his signature or the seal of his cate, and he had backbone enough to stick to it, with the cancellation of his exequator. No order has been issued ordering the young hurry home, and there are no symptoms that any act it looks very much as though Mr. Moffatt had stood still. should be recorded forwithin. When this precious document was presented to the various consular officials located by the different governments at LaGuayara, they promptly signed it, they thereby giving their official support to a point blank lie that was to be spread abroad to the trading world outside. All but Consul Moffatt. He declined to attach his signature or the seal of his consulate to any such certificate, and he had backbone enough to stick to it, even when he was threatened with the cancellation of his exequator. He also refused to give up his job and hurry home, and there are no symptoms that any such action is pending.

During a visit to the South of England, a gentleman was recently met who for the last three years has lived on one meal a day, and that meal composed chiefly of apples. He stated that the juices of the apples supplied him with all the moisture or drink he needed; that, he claimed, was of the purest kind, being in reality water distilled by nature, and flavored with the pleasant aroma of the apple. He partook of his one meal about three clock in the afternoon, eating what he felt satisfied him, the meal occupy- ing him from twenty minutes to hall an hour. "So Smith and Jones are on bad terms."

A well known family in Catholic circles, living in Spring Garden street, and blessed with three very small daughters, spent last winter in the city where their daughters were sent to school. The family, being quite hospitably inclined, entertained quite lavishly some of the digitizes of the Vatican. Returning to Philadelphia, they received a hearty welcome, and among others some of their old priest friends called to bid them welcome home. The mother, always proud of her three small daughters, sent for them to brought downstairs to see the father. After awhile they came, the three little golden-haired girls; but they only stood in the doorway of the spacious room and refused to come any further. The mother, much mortified at such behavior, said to the oldest: "Come dear, dear; you need to number good Father, who used to come and see from the cathedral." There they stood, the three little blonde tots, and looking most disapprovingly at good Father —, the eldest spoke: "We like cardinals," is what she said—Philadelphia Public feder. NO WONDER SHE DIDN'T KNOW Woman of Experience Not Hasty in Expressing Opinion. Before he had been in the car three minutes most of the women passengers and some of the men were explaining to their neighbors what they would do with the little imp if he be longed to them, and if that boy had received them and then all the paddings that his critics were aching to administer he certainly would have been well blistered. To the general label of advice and fault-finding, however, there was one woman who contributed nothing. She was a gentle, gray-haired body, who remained unruffled in the midst of the small tempert raging. "If that child was nine," said the determined woman inside her, "I'd make him alive if I had to half kill him. Wondert you." "I don't know," said the little woman mildly, "what I'd do." "You don't!" said the determined woman. "Well, I know. But maybe you are not used to children? Maybe you never had any of your own?" "Oh, yes." "Is that why the woman I know 12. That is why I don't know, what I would do." Cercrete Not Modern. Concrete is a very ancient material for construction, but reinforced concrete is scarcely half a century old it is said to have started in a happy idea that came to a Frenchman who wanted large flower pots for his plants which should not be thick and clumsy. He reinforced them with wire. Nowadays we see glass reinforced in the same way, especially about elevator shafts. Cognet and others developed the reinforcement of concrete for buildings that first merely used buildings like conservatories. As early as 1874 a concrete villa was built on the north shore of Long island sound, but it was many years before the idea "took" here, although in France, Belgium and Germany it was seized upon with avidity - Smith's Magazine. No More Gold Lace for Afghans. The amuer has published an edict, which applies to all parts of Afghanistan, prohibiting the import into the country of all kinds of gold lace, including embroidered kuffer lungis and embroidered shoes. The amuer is evidently actuated by a desire to prevent his subjects from spending their hard earned money on showy dress. It is the poorer classes who are notoriously addicted to this extravagance which his majesty has decided to check. The cost of the Afghan is decidedly handsome, and the amuer has acted wisely in bringing into general use clothing less costly, his majesty's orders will doubtless be received by his subjects with rather mixed feelings. Proper Bestowal of Charity. Dickens: There are not a few whom the disciplineation, who require education, scarcely less excitement than the votaries of pleasure in theirs; and hence it is that diseased sympathy and compassion are every day expended on out-of-the way objects, when only too many demands upon the legitimate exercise of the same virtues in a healthy state are constantly being met, the most unobservant person alive. In short, charity must have its romance, as the novelist or the playwright must have his: Sleeplessness. A good remedy for sleeplessness is to wet, a towel and apply to the back of the neck, pressing it hard up against the base of the brain and fastening over this cloth to prevent too rapid evaporation. The effect will be prompt and pleasant, cooling the brain and inducing a sweet and pearful slumber. It is also useful for the purpose. This remedy will prove useful to people suffering from over-work, excitement or anxiety. He Guzzsed It. Howell-What became of Rowell who was here when I lived here?

Among the treasures which adored the "den" of Sir Walter Scott was a chin saunter—the memorial according to the author of "Edinburgh Under Sir Walter Scott," of a striking insident in the domestic life of Scott's father and mother. One autumn Mr. Scott, Sr., had a client who came regularly every evening at a cottage in the private home usually long after the family had gone to bed. The little mystery of the unknown visitor excited Mrs. Scott's curiosity, and her husband's vague statements increased it. One night, therefore, although she knew it was against her husband's desire, she entered the room with a salver in her hand, and offered the gentleman "a dish of tea," as used to be called in eighteenth-century French, to which he easily refused it, but the stranger bowed and accepted a cup. Presently he took his leave. Then Mr. Scott seized the empty cup and threw it out on the pavement. His wife was astonished at first, but not when she heard the explanation. "I may admit into my house, on business, persons wholly unworthy to be treated as guests of my wife. Neither lip of me nor nose come after," he murray of Brussels."

SOME SMALL ENGLISH PARISHES Dozen Inhabitants in One; in Another Only Two Houses. Probably few people know that this country contains a number of parishes so small that their population can be housed under one or two roofs. For Instance, Upper Eldon, near Stockbridge, consists of two houses, which with an eleventh century church and a tiny "Gone's Acre" in the middle of a farmyard adjoining one of the large, computerized the whole parish. Not much larger is the population of Lullington. five miles from Eastbourne, Small as its church is—the interior dimensions are only 16 feet square—it is quite large enough for the inhabitants. In Grove near Lighton Buzzard, there are only about a dozen inhabitants, the parish contains a modern farmhouse, two cottages and a tiny church. At Rhyb, in Pine Tahle, the village contains five cottages and one ship. Until recently there were two licensed houses, one of which still remains—Tit-Bits. Store Carries Old Hotel Name. Away up in Harlem is a sign which reads: "The Old Astor House Store." In reply to an inquiry the proprietor said; "The business was established in the vicinity of the old Astor house when the latter was the big hotel of New York. It on it moved up to Fourteenth street and carried the name of the old hotel with it. Some years after it moved up to Fort-see-ond street and the name went with it. Then it jumped all the way to Harlem and, as the name had become one of the fixtures of the business, it was maintained. The business now is in the hands of the third generation of the family that established it. Just a bit of sentiment."—New York Press.

A driver in the employ of a torpedo firm started off with a load of 40 quairs of nitroglycerine, and when a short distance from the barn stopped, got off his wagon and started an argument with his aystander. The team became frightened and ended up but hurt the wagon until the front wheel of the wagon struck an iron support of a porch at a street corner and the horses stripped themselves from the harness, leaving the wagon, with its load of condensed destruction, standing.—Oil City Derrick. Waterproof Coats of Grass Waterproof Coats or Grass. In the tropics of Mexico, where ternal rains fall a part of each year, raincoats are a very necessary part of man's apparel. Because the in the intense heat which prevails in the summer season the ordinary rubber raincoats cannot be worn. A rainproof coat is made from native grasses, and is worn by the men of the middle and upper classes. The grasses are woven close together and it is impossible for the rain to heat through them, no matter how hard the storm may be. Some of these coats are made with a wood which protects the head as well as the body. Will Found in a Hat Probate has been granted of the will of a peddler who left an estate valued at £11,937. Mr. Harrins Norman, a Polish Jew, of Mill road, Cambridge. The document was found in his silk hat after his death. It was dated January 19, 1903, and by it he left the whole of his property equally between Addenbrooke's hospital, Cambridge, and the London Jewel rooftop pool and needy Jews—London Evening Standard. Flagrant Violator. Mrs. Crawford—What did your husband say when you told him that you and your daughters were going to join an anti-noise club? Mrs. Chatter—He said he hoped it would keep us quiet. Lamo Shoulder Cured. Lame shoulder is usually caused by rheumatism of the muscles and quickly yields to a few applications of Chamberlain's Pain Balm Mr. F. H. M. Elwee, of Boldstown, New Brunswick, writes; Having been troubled for some time with a pain in my left shoulder, I decided to give Chamberlain's Pain Balm a trial, with the result that I got prompt relief." For sale by all Peculiar Property of Castings. Put to Practical Use. Why should an iron grate bar become warped, twisted and cracked after long use? appears to have been discovered by Alexander E. Outerbridge, Jr., of Philadelphia, who tells in that cast iron when heated and cooled swells so that a bar of it becomes not only longer but thicker, and that this increase in size may continue with subsequent heatings and coolings until the volume of the bar becomes cent. larger than it was originally. Microscopic examination shows that the texture of the swelled bar has become coarser grained. This discovery, which was made about three years ago, is now put to practical use in various ways. For instance, a gas engine piston that had been small was caused to "grow" by this method until it again fitted its cylinder. Again, several tons of steam radiators that had been condensed as too short were successfully treated until they could be used as at first intended. Quite Preposterous in the Light of Present-Day Extremism. Philosophers seldom tire of booming the normal and deprecating the all-round abnormal tendency. They insist that the nurgical life is good for our bodies, and eke for our consciences. But this is absurd. We cannot enjoy ourselves and at the same time be normal. Every pleasure is something which is abnormal to us. Every man and woman at the present day who sets out with the object of achieving distinction, or popularity of any description, must be abnormally good or abnormally bad before it can create an impression. The "normal" theory is a preposterous one. Imagine a woman in normal clothes! At the present moment woman has attained the pinnacle of notority in the opposite direction, and on its top most point is set her hat. Imagine the successful athlete in a normal condition. Imagine the winner of a motor race as a man seeker; and there are others—too much to mention.—Philadelphia Record. Paying the Price. "Is it not some reproach upon the economy of Providence that such a one, who is a mean, dirty fellow, should have amassed wealth enough to buy half a nation?" Not the least. He made himself a mean, dirty fellow for that very end. He had little money to buy a library for it; will you envy him his bargain? Will you hang your head and blush in his presence because he outshines you in equipage and show? Lift up your brow with a noble confidence, and say to yourself: I have not these things, it is true; but it is because I have not sought, because I have not desired them; it is because I possess some things, it is because I possess my money, content and satisfied. Anna Lettle Barhauld. A Restrained Grief. Back in the ridges of Tennessee two mountaineers got into an argument. Words led to blows, and in the fight that followed one of the men was killed. A neighbor rode on ahead to the dead man's cabin to prepare his wife. He found her seated at a table eating apple dumplings. He broke the sad news to her as gently as he could. She listened quietly, with a dumplings poised in the air half way to her mouth. When the neighbor paused she stuffed the dumplings into her mouth and said: "You jest wait 'till I finish this her dumplin' an' then you all 'lil hear hollerin'-"Harper's Monthly. The Truly to Be Pitied Stevenson: Pitful is the case of the blind, who cannot read the face; pitful the case of the deaf, who cannot follow the changes of the voice. And there are others, also, to be pitled, for there are some of an inert and indefolient nature who have been denied all the symbols of communication, have experienced the face of facial expression, nor yet the gift of frank, explanatory speech; people truly made of clay, people tied for life into a bag which no one can undo. They are poorer than the gypsy, for their heart can speak no language under heaven. The "Jim Crow" Law in Heaven. "The JIM Crow" Law in Heaven. Uncle Wash, an aged colored man who is given to seeing visions, was recently regaling a group of brethren and sisters in the church with a dream of heaven that he had had virtually describe. As he went on, he usually described its gold-paved streets, its states of pearl, its hosts of white-robed, fashioned angels playing upon jewelled harps, an old woman interrupted with the query: "See any, nlgghs dah?" "See any biggins dan. "Huh," he snorted, indignantly, "does you 'pose I went 'wound to de kitchen'"—Philadelphia Ledger. Catching Rats. Do rats drink water? Do they require water? The best way to catch these rodents is to put any animal substance, well perfumed with oil of rhodium, into a trap. This induces them to enter readily, and even draws them from a considerable distance, as they are extremely partial to this oil. An ounce of Catnip to a cat is nothing like rhodium to a rat. Oil of rhodium is made from a species of bindweed, and is used in perfumery. Stomach Trouble Cured. If you have any trouble with your stomach you should take Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. Mr. J. P. Klote of Edinah, Mo., says: "I have used a great many different medicines for stomach trouble, but find Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets more beneficial than any other remedy I ever used."

Little Ones Used to Digitaries of High Estate. A well-known family in Catholic christ, living in Spring Garden street, and blessed with three very small daughters, spent last winter in Rome, where the small daughters were sent to school. The family, being quite hospitably inclined, being a small some of the digitaries of the Vatican. Returning to Philadelphia, they received a hearty welcome, and among others some of their old priest friends called to bid them welcome home. The mother, always proud of her three small daughters, sent for them to be brought downstairs to see the father. After they came, the three little golden-haired girls, but the proud stood in the doorway of the spacious room and refused to come any further. The mother, much mortified at such behavior, said to the oldest: "Come here, dear; don't you remember good Father, who used to come and see us from the cathedral?" There they stood, the three little blonde tots, and their most displeased mother, and good Father — the oldest spoke: "We said—Philadelphia Public Ledger. NO WONDER SHE DIDN'T KNOW Woman of Experience Not Hasty in Expressing Opinion. Before he had been in the car three minutes most of the women passengers and some of the men were explaining to their neighbors what they would do with the little imp if he belonged to them. Spanking was the popular remedy, and if that boy had received them already all the padrons and curtains were aching to administer he certainly would have been well blistered. To the general label of advice and fault-finding, however, there was one woman who contributed nothing. She was a gentle, gray-haired body, who remained unruffled in the midst of the small tempest raging. "If that child was mine," said the determined woman beside her, "I'd make him mind if I had to half kill him. Woundn't you." "Don't know," said the little woman, "what I'd do." "You don't," said the determined woman, "Well, I know. But maybe you are not used to children? Maybe you never had any of your own?" "Oh, yes," said the little woman. "brought up on me, why I don't understand." I would do. Concrete Not Modern Concrete is a very ancient material for construction, but reinforced concrete is scarcely half a century old. It is said to have started in a happy idea that *cane* to a Frenchman who wanted large flower pots for his plants which should not be thick and clumy. He reinforced them with wire. Nowadays we see glass reinforced in the same way, especially about elevator shafts. Cognet and others developed the reinforcement of concrete for building first, merely useful buildings like conservatories. As early as 1874 a concrete villa was built on the north shore of Long Island sound, but it was many years before the idea "cook" here, although in France, Belgium and Germany it was seized upon with avidity. -Smith's Magazine. No More Gold Lace for Afghans. No More Gold Lace for Afghan. The ameré has published an ebook, which applies to the import inistan, that provides the import into the country of all kinds of gold lace, including embroidered kullas lunges and embroidered shoes. The ameré is evidently actuated by a desire to prevent his subjects from spending their hard earned money on showy dress. It is the poorer classes who are notoriously addicted to this extravagance which his majesty has decided to check. The gold laced coat of the Afghan is decidedly his, though in thought he has acted wisely in bringing into general use clothing less costly, his majesty's orders will doubtless be received by his subjects with father mixed feelings. Bronx Portowal of Charity Property presentation Different things are not a few among the disciples of charity who require in their vocation, scarcely less excitement than the votaries of pleasure in theirs; and hence it is that diseased sympathy and compassion are every day expended on out-of-the way objects, when only too many demands upon the legitimate exercise of the same virtues in a healthy state are constantly met.

Among the treasures which adored the "den" of Sir Walter Scott was a china saucer—the memorial according to the author of "Edinburgh Under Sir Walter Scott," of a striking incident in the domestic life of Scott's father and mother. One autumn Mr. Scott, Sr. had a client who came regularly every evening at a certain hour to the house, and remained in his private room as a guest once a month to bed. The little mystery of the unknown visitor excited Mrs. Scott's curiosity, and her husband's vague statements increased it. One night, therefore, although she knew it was against her husband's desire, she entered the room with a salver in her hand, and offered the gentleman "a dish of tea," as it used to be called in eightth century parlance. Mr. Scott very coldly accepted it, and accepted a cup. Presently he took his leave. Then Mr. Scott seized the empty cup and threw it out on the pavement. His wife was astonished at first, but not when she heard the explanation. "I may admit into my house, on business, persons wholly unworthy to be treated as guests of my wife. Neither lip of me nor mine comes after Mr. Murray, or brought on's. The man who had called no other than the traitor, Secretary Murray, who bought off his life and fortune by giving evidence against his gallant Jacobe associates.—Dunce Advertiser. SOME SMALL ENGLISH PARISHES. Dozen inhabitants in One; In Another Only Two Houses. Probably few people know that this country contains a number of parishes so small that their population can be housed under one or two rooftops. For instance, Upper Eldon, near Stockbridge, consists of two houses, which with an eleventh century church and a tiny "Gone's Acre" in the middle of a farmyard adjoining one of the dwellings, comprise the whole parish. Not much larger is the population of the farmhouse on Easloun Street or its church is—the interior dimensions are only 16 feet square—it is quite large enough for the inhabitants. In Grove near Lighthouse Buzzard, there are only about a dozen inhabitants, the parish contains a modern farmhouse, two cottages and a tiny church. At Rhyd, in Flintridge, while there are only three adult inhabitants, the parish contains five cottages and one ship. Until recently there were two licensed houses, one of which still remains—Tit-Bits. Store Carries Old Hotel Name. Away up in Harlem is a sign which reads: "The Old Astor House Store." In reply to an inquiry the proprietor sald: "The business was established in the vicinity of the Old Astor house when the latter was the big hotel of the city, and the fourth-fourteenth street and carried the name of the old hotel with it. It some years after it moved up to Forty-second street and the name went with it. Then it jumped all the way to Harlem and, as the name had become one of the fixtures of the business, it was the first hotel in Harlem, the hands of the third generation of the family that established it. Just a bit of sentiment."—New York Press. Pleasant Situation. Clintonville, this county, had several thrills of nervous apprehension on Tuesday of last week. A driver in the employ of a torpedo firm started with a load of 40 quarts of nitrogycerine, and when a short distance from the barn stopped, got off his wagon and started an argument with a bystander. The team became frightened and surrendered to run, but had enough time to win a wheel of the wagon struck an iron support of a poreh at a street corner and the horses stripped themselves from the harness, leaving the wagon, with its load of condensed destruction, standing.—Oil City Derrick. Waterproof Coats of Grass Waterproof Coats or Grass. In the tropics of Mexico, where torrential rains fall a part of each year, raincoats are a very necessary part of man's apparel. Owing to the intense heat which precipitates in the summer season the ordinary rubber raincoat cannot be worn. A rainproof coat is made from native grasses, and is worn by the men of the middle and upper classes. The grasses are woven close together and it is impossible for the rain to beat through them, no matter how hard the storm may be. Some of these coats are made with a wood which protects the head as well as the body. WILL FOUND IN A HAT Prostate has been granted of the will of a peddler who left an estate valued at £1,193.7.

What appears to have been discovered by Alexander E. Outerbridge, Jr. of Philadelphia, who tells is that cast iron when heated and coolled swells so that a bar of it becomes not only longer but thicker, and that this increase in size may continue with subsequent heatings and coolings until the volume of the bar becomes cent. larger than it was originally. Microscopic examination shows that the texture of the swelled bar has become coarser grained. This discovery, which was made about three years ago, is now put to practical use in various ways. For instance, a gas engine piston that has been coarsened was caused to "grow" by its method until it again fitted its cylinder. Again, several tons of steam radiators that had been condensed as too short were successfully treated until they could be used as at first intended. NORMAL THEORY IS DISPROVED. Quite Preposterous in the Light o Present-Day Extremism. Philosophers seldom tire of booming the normal and deprecating the all round abnormal tendency. They insist that the human body is the body, bodies, and cke for our consciences. Imagine a woman in normal clothes. At the present moment woman has attained the pinnacle of notoriously in the opposite direction, and on its top most point is set her hat. Imagine the successful athlete in a normal condition. Imagine the winner of a motor race as a normal person seeker; and there are others—too many to mention—Philadelphia Reo Paying the Price.

Lift up your brow with a noble confidence, and say to yourself: I have not these things, it is true; but it is because I have not sought, because I have not desired them, because I have possessed them better, and I have not understood I am content and satisfied—Anna Lettla Barbauld. A Restrained Grief Back in the ridges of Tennessee two mountaineers got into an argument. Words led to blows, and in the fight that followed one of the men was killed. A neighbor rode on ahead to the dead man's cabin to prepare his wife. He found her seated at a table eating apple dumplings. He broke the sad news to her as gently as he could. She listened quietly, with a dumplings poised in the air half way to her mouth. When the neighbor paused she stuffed the dumplings into her mouth and said: "You jest wait 'till I finish this her dumplin' an' then you all 'lil hear hollerin'-"Harper's Monthly. The Truly to Be Pitied. Stevenson: Pitiful is the case of the blind, who cannot read the face; pitiful the case of the deaf, who cannot follow the changes of the voice. And there are others, also, to be pitified, for there are some of an inert and inolequant nature who have been denied all the symbols of common life; of facial expression, nor yet the gift of frank, explanatory speech; people truly made of clay, people tied for life into a bag which no one can undo. They are poorer than the gypsy, for their heart can speak no language under heaven. The "Jim Crow" Law in Heaven. Uncle Wash, an aged colored man who is given to seeing visions, was recently regaling a group of brethren and sisters in the church with a dream of heaven that he had had the night before. As he was graphically describing its gold-paved streets, its gates of pearl and the hosts of white-robed, fair-haired girls playing upon jewels, an old woman interrupted with the query: "See any niggas dah? " "Huh," he snorted, indignantly, "does you $pose I went 'round to do kitchen?" —Philadelphia Ledger. Catching Rats. Do rats drink water? Do they require water? The best way to catch these rodents is to put any animal substance, well perfumed with oil of rhodium, into a trap. This induces them to enter readily, and even draws them from a considerable distance, as they are extremely partial to this oil. An ounce of oil of rhodium will coat, owe it to Cotton oil. Cotton oil like rhodium to a rat. Oil of rhodium is made from a species of bindweed, and is used in perfumery.

Secretary Wilson says, "One of the objects of the law is to inform the consumer of the presence of certain harmful drugs in medicines." The law requires that the amount of chloroform, opium, morphine, and other habit forming drugs be stated on the label of each bottle. The manufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy have always claimed that their remedy did not contain any of these drugs; and the truth is this claim is now fully proven, as no mention of them is made on the label. This remedy is not only one of the safest, but one of the best in use for coughs and colds. Its value has been proven beyond question during the many years it has been in general use.
