them up because eggs are so high.
Professor (in profound astonishment)—1
Because eggs are so high!
Marie—Yes. You see I learned to ask
for eggs in Spanish beau-ti-fully, and
then, of course, we had to have them
three times a day so I could ask for them.

Crushed, by a Bowlder.
Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 8.—Thomas
Bailey, at Smythe’s ore mines, met a
horrible death by having a large bowl-
der of ore fall on him. The ore was
sharp pointed, and almost cut the
man’s body in twain. The bowlder
came down without the least warning,
and death was instantaneous.

The New York Sun grows very sloppy
in its praise of the midwinter fair at
San Francisco. This is accounted for bv
the fact that New York does not yet
look upon San Francisco as a rival for
municipal honorg.
The discovery has been made that
three dollars each were paid for votes in
Brooklyn, N. Y., during the recent elec-
tion. Some of the political organiza-
tions propose to adopt resolutions con-
demning it on the grounds that $3 is too
much to pay for votes that have hereto-
fore cost only $1.50.
The Cherokee Indians are said to be
solidly against statehood. Only about
three years ago the same red men were
said to be just as bitterly opposed to
the sale of their interest in the Cherokee
strip. That land is now divided into
farms, which will all be productive next
summer. Will not there be the same
conclusion to the statehood proposition?
The Union Leauge club of Chicago
will open the McKinley campaign for
the high protection candidacy for presi-
dent in 1896 on Washington’s birthday
by giving the Ohio governor a “swing”
through the World’s Fair city with an
escort of 600 men, a band of sixty pieces
and a carriage drawn by eight black
horses. Reed and Harrison will have to
be up and doing, if they expect to beat
such a boom inauguration.
The announcement in the Pall Mall
Gazette in boldface type under a scare
head that Gladstone had decided to re-
sign seems to have momentarily paral-
yzed the balance of the English press,
but as soon as they recovered they dis-
played great unanimity in jumping on
Mr. Astor’s paper and abusing him for
attempting to introduce sensational
American journalism in London. This
seems to have so affected the Gazette
that it reiterated its former statement
and then poked fun at its contemporaries
for getting left on the most important
piece of news that has appeared in an
English newspaper for years. William
is making himself felt, if he isn’t mak-
ing any money out of his paper.
In speaking of the proposed issue of
government bonds the Philadelphia
Times (democratic) says: “In spite cf
all the malignant efforts of repudia-
tionists and the partisan enemies of the
public credit, the secretary of the treas-
ury has disposed of the new loan on the
most favorable terms and with an
abundant margin of offers. This is the
first time that United States bonds have
been sold by direct subscription without
the intervention of agents or under-
writers. The banks at first resented the
secretary’s independence, but seeing
that he could get on without them they
made haste to subscribe to the bonds in
amounts that abundantly justified the
secretary’s position.” With over a hun-
dred million dollars in the banks of New
York begging for an investment, it is
hard to see that any great amount of
credit is due Mr. Carlisle for securing
takers for an investment that not only
pays a good rate of interest, but is gilt-
edged.
The late Henry W. Grady of Atlanta,
Ga., the eloquent “New South” orator,
was not a protectionist, although a dem-
ocrat, and in stating his views in a
speech once said: “I attended a funeral
in Pickens county, Ga., of a poor man.
They buried him in the midst of a mar-
ble. quarry ; they cut through solid mar-
ble to make his grave, and yet the little
tombstone they put above him was from
Vermont. They buried him in the
heart of a pine forest, and yet the pine
coffin was imported from Cincinnati.
They buried him within touch of an iron
mine, and yet the nails in the iron coffin
and the iron in the shovel that dug his
grave were imported from Pittsburg.
They buried him by the side of the
best sheep grazing country on the earth,
and yet the wool in the coffin bands and
themselves were brought from the north.
The south did not furnish a thing on
' earth for that funeral but the corpse
and the hole in the ground. ’ There they
put him away, and the clods rattled
down on his coffin; and they buried him
in a New York coat and a Boston pair
of shoes, and a pair of breeches from
Chicago, and a shirt from Cincinnati,
leaving him nothing to carry into the
next world with him to remind him of
the country in which he had lived and
for which he fought for four years but
the chill of blood in his veins and the
piairow in his bones.”

A Good Hour’s Work.
Leadville, Colo., Feb. 8.—In one
hour one man took $7000 worth of gold
ore from the new strike at Farncum
Hill, about 25 miles from here. The
gold was displayed at the Carbonate
bank here and was taken out in chunks.
The specimens are the finest 'ever
shown in the state. The largest nug-
get weighed 78 ounces and was about
seven inches in its longest diameter
and one inch in its shortest diameter,
being very irregular in shape. It was
beautiful to look at, being composed
entirely of crystallized and flake gold.
The property is owned by John Camp-
ion and others of Leadville, who con-
trol 5000 acres of almost virgin ground.
Over $5,000,000 was originally taken
out of one vein in this same ground.
Beautiful must be the mountains whence ye
come,
And bright in the fruitful valleys the streams
wherefrom
Ye learn your song.
Where are those starry woods? Oh, might I
wander there
Among the flowers, which, in that heavenly
air,
Bloom the year long.
“Nay, barren are those mountains and spent
the streams.
Our song is the voice of desire that haunts our
dreams—
A throe of the heart,
Whose pining visions dim forbidden hopes pro-
found.
No dying cadence nor long sigh can sound
For all our art.
“Alone aloud in the raptured ear of men
We pour our dark nocturnal secret, and then
As night is withdrawn
From these sweet springing meads and burst-
ing boughs of May
Dream while the innumerable choir of day
Welcome the dawn.’’
—Robert Bridges.

Notebooks Not Allowed.
“He was the best surveyor and drafts-
man in my employ,” said a -well known
civil engineer, referring to a man ’whom
he had just discharged. “I discovered a
short time ago that he was keeping a
private notebook, and after notifying1
him that he must stojiit and again learn-
I was obliged to discharge him.
“A surveyor,” said he, “in doing a
piece of work makes minutes as he goes
along of the lines he runs, of the various
points marking the bounds of the lands
he is surveying and all such data as is
not only necessary for the drawing of
his plans, but also incidentally that
which may aid him in the case of any
other survey being made later on.
“This data, you see, really constitutes
a sort of capital or stock in trade, for if
the party owning the land, ever wishes
another survey of it for any purpose ha
will naturally apply to that same sur-
veyor, who, having these old memoran-
da, can do the work easier and more
cheaply than any other surveyor. Often-
times, after many years have elapsed
and old landmarks have passed away,
those minutes become very valuable.
“Consequently a civil engineer always
wishes to keep these in his own hands,
and men in his employ are not allowed
to make copies of minutes of surveys
which they make while in his employ.
Otherwise an old employee, in leaving
and setting up in business for himself,
could carry away a large slice of his em-
ployer’s business.”—New York Herald,
Dr. Boyd, at one time surgeon on the
City of Rome, says in The Lancet that
administrations of cholorbrom and at-
tention to diet will insure the passenger
immunity from seasickness.
Blunders of Painters.
Tinoret, an Italian painter, in a pic-
ture of the “Children of Israel” gather-
ing manna, has taken the precaution to
arm them with the modern invention of
guns. Cigoli painted the aged Simeon at
the circumcision of the infant Saviour,
and as aged men in these days weat
spectacles the artist has shown his sagac-
ity by placing them on Simeon’s nose.
In a picture by Verrio of “Christ Heal-
ing the Sick” the lookers on are repre-
sented as standing with periwigs on their
heads-. To match, or rather exceed,
this ludicrous representation, Durer has
painted “The Expulsion of Adam and
Eve From the Garden of Eden” by an
angel in a dress fashionably trimmed
with flounces. ( The same painter, in his
scene of “Peter Denying Christ,” repre-
sents a Roman soldier very comfortably
smoking a pipe of tobacco.—Exchange.
with-
drawal by the president of the nomina
tion of William H. Thompson for post-
master at Blue Rapids, Kan,, was done
at the request of Senator Martin of that
state. Mr. Thompson, it, seems, had
been nominated by mistake, and as soon
as it was discovered that his appoint-
ment was distasteful to the Kansas
senator, the name was promptly with-
drawn from the senate.
The Long Pension Case.
Washington, Feb. 8.—Commissioner
of Pensions Lochren will await the de-
cision of Judge Cox of the district
equity court, on the application of
Judge Long of Michigan, for an injunc-
tion to restrain the commissioner from
reducing his pension from $72 to $50,
before ordering the suspension of the
Michigan judge’s pension.

How About Thia?
It is a pretty well established f ict that
Dr. Perkins can’t be outdone in skillful,
durable and artistic dentistry at prices
consistent with hard times. He never
charges over 50 cents for extracting
a tooth, and anyone too poor to pay that
may have a painful tooth taken out free.

41 YEARS
(dlTRZTOEsHro) QOUNCILlg)
Under a mistake when, after a pret-
ty lively time with the boys, and the
next morning, looking at your BIG
HEAD, and find yourself trembling
like a leaf, you say “I must have
had a terrible ‘jag’ on last night.
Wonder what I did? By jove! only
twelve dollars and thirty-five cents
left out of one hundred and my note
falls due tomorrow.”
“I KererWill Touch Another Drop.”
How often have you said that?
How many keep it? About one in
a hundred, and still the desire is not
killed in this one of mighty will
power. He sticks, but is always in
a struggle. A drinking man may
crave liquor, and does crave it, but
the will should be of a higher order
than appetite. If a man is fully
convinced that drinking is wrong
and then drinks, he is certainly
morally, and every other way, re-
sponsible. The more the appetite
conquers the will the weaker the
will becomes. The nerve system
gets to be in a most terrible dis-
eased condition and the nervous
system plays havoc with the will.
It is when one has arrived at this
stage that Dr. Thomas D. Ensor’s
great discovery comes to the aid. It
is upon the body that bis treatment
acts and not upon the will, and
most wonderfully does it act. Men
hopelessly given to drink are
brought out of the mire in which
they have fallen, or are falling. The
acquired appetite for drink is wiped
out and the poor, weakened nerves
are restored to their normal condi-
tion. “MR. WILL” soon resumes
more than its normal strength and
the man (for man he is again) is on
a higher plane, both in mind and
body, than he ever thought to at-
tain.
The Ensor Treatment Never fails
To turn drunkards, and men or
women who are addicted to drink,
or those who use morphine, opium
or cocaine, into sober, respected
citizens again, and it is the object
sought; and the wonderful success
of the ENSOR TREATMENT the
past two or three years has caused
more than 20,000 people who have
been cured to rejoice, and five times
that number of innocent persons,
who have been affected by the curse
that held the 20,000 in bondage, to
lhank God that the father, husband
or brother bad tried the ENSOR
REMEDY and won the race to life
and happiness. Galveston counts

He Was Satisfied.
The old boarder, after an experience of
20 years or more, at last got into a place
which seemed to him to be as near the
ideal as he cared about. When he had
been there a week, he went one night to
a religious service, and one of the work-
ers approached him.
“Are you a Christian?” was the first
question.
“I hope so,” he replied humbly,
“though I don’t belong to the church.”
“Ah, my friend, there is where you are
wrong.”
• “Possibly I am.”
“Don’t you feel that you are a sinner?”
“Well, I’m not perfect, I suppose.”
“Don’t you want to go to heaven?”
The old boarder braced up.
“If you’d asked me that 10 days ago,’’
he said, “I should have answered ‘yes’
promptly, but now I’m in a boarding
house where they don’t have stewed
prunes, skimmilk, hash, paralytic coffee,
dried apple pies, soiled napkins, tough
meat, a piano on each floor, gossiping
boarders and a lot more discomforts, and
I’m afraid to take any risk in leaving it,”
and the worker gave him up as hopeless.

To Knock Out Scalpers.
Chicago, Feb. 8.—An agreement has.
been entered into by all the lines of the

Northwestern road, by which none of
these roads will after Feb. 15 accept

tourists’ tickets from points west and
northwest of Chicago to points in the
south, southeast and southwest. The
cause of the action is that the rates to
Chicago are being badly scalped

tickets. Nothing but straight, regular
coupon tickets will be taken on trains.

of a strange find made a week ago at
Gillespie, on the line of the Big Four
railroad, and which has been kept
secret by the finders of the treasure in
the hope that still more of it might be
located.
At that time pieces of torn green-
backs began to be picked up. A large
amount was found, the bills all torn in
two and twisted. The pieces were
picked up all along the track from the
coal shaft west of town and as far east
as Clyde, until from $400 to $800 have
been recovered and saved by the find-
ers, the exact amount not being known
by the informants. No account of the
owner has been received, and how and
why the money came there and its con-
dition can only be conjectured.
