During the coming .wiy9er Mr. l. h. A.dit
proposes, with the assist1kce Of the singers Of
S.lina and vicinity, to Ne the beautiful ora
torio Of Queen Esther Fer the purpose Of con-
sulsing with the singing portion Of the COM
munify in regard 10 this project, . meeting
has been appoi rted for next SATURDAY. evening
at the Methodist church. The. oratorio Of
Queen Esther is one Of the most popular Of its
class and it is within the province Of the mus
ically inclined in Salina to produce It, and we
have no doubt that all will be present ut the
meeting. Mr.. Mafiit han had considerable cx-
pcrience in assisting and managing the orato-
rio elsewhere and consequently, should it be
undertaken, will be able TO present it in an ell
egant and attractive manner. Such entertain
mcnts awaken livelier interest In commun-
ity in its home talent, and open the way to the
cultivation Of music and its influences. We
sec too much OF what others can dc and too
little of what we can do ourselves towards
furnishing entertainment. The consequence
is that many among rs who really have com
mendable talent have little confidence in them.
selves. We hope this project will be carried
through and that thereafter full chorus con-
esrts may be given.

Chinese Books.

In cheap printing the Chinese are our superiors as, in consequence of their simple method of impression, the whole apparatus of printer in that country consists of his gravers, blocks, and brushes. These he may shoulder, and travel from place to place, purchasing paper and lampblack as he needs them :; and borrowing table anywhere, he may throw off his editions by the hun dred or the score, as he is able to dis pose of them. Their paper is thin, but cheap ten sheets of demy size costing only one half-penny. This, connected with the low price of labor, enables the Chinese to furnish books to each other for next to nothing. The books of King-foo-tze, comprising six volumes, and amounting to 400 leaves octave, can be purchased for ninepence and the historical novel of the Three Kingdoms, amounting to 1,5OO leaves, in 20 vol umes, may be had for half crown. Books are, consequently, multiplied to an almost indefinite extent; and every peasant and peddler has the common Repositories of knowledge within his reach. In China, we are accordingly told, there are, perhaps, more books and more people to read them, than in any other country of the world.

A Dinner Excuse.

Apologies for poor dinners are gener- ally out of place. But when lad has 8 forgetful husband, who, without warning, brings home dozen guests to sit down to plain family dinner for three or four, it is not in human nature to keep absolute silence. What to say, and how to say it, form the problem. Mrs. Tucker, the wife of Judge Tucker, Of Williamsburgh, solved this problem many years ago. She was the daughter or niece q am uncertain which, of Sir Peyton Skipwith, and celebrated for her beauty, wit, ease and grace of man. ner. Her temper and tact were put to the proof one court day, when the Judge brought with him the accustomed half score or more of lawyers, for whom not the slightest preparation had been made, the Judge having quite forgotten to remind his wife that it was court day, and she herself, strange to tell, having overlooked the fact.
 The dinner was served with elegance, and Mrs. Tucker made herself very charming. Upon rising to leave the guests to their wine, she said "Gen- tlennen, you have dined to-day with Judge Tucker promise me now that you will dine tomorrow with me-"
 This was all her apology, whereupon the gentlemen swore that such a wife was beyond price. The Judge then ex- plained the situation, and the next day there was noble banquet.
 Moral: Never worry 8 guest with apologies.

The Brooklyn Murder,

The mystery that has enveloped the murder of Charles Goodrich in Brook lyn, whose body was found in the base ment of his own house, has been almost impenetrable, and the detectives, grop- ing hepelessly in the dark, have eagerly caught at one theory after another. The theory of suicide was abandoned for that of murder by woman's hand, and this now gives place to the supposi- tion that MT. Goodrich fell victim to the jealous rage of an unsuccessful rival. The woman, who was arrested, and who is in the custody of the police, has put her suspicious into words, and whispered them into the Chiefs ears, and already dispatch has been sent to Baltimore and other Southern cities, and also to Havana, warning the policg to be on the watch for Spaniard named Roscoe, whose personal appearance is very fully described. The parents of Mrs. Myers state that the alleged mur- derer was 8 respected suitor of his daughter, and she herself claims to be assured that jealousy impelled him to take vengeance upon his rival. The prisoner still retains her self-possession, and answers the searching inquiries of the detectives with great composure and assurance. If she is to be believed, much of the mystery that has shrouded one of the strangest of modern murders has been cleared away, and the assassin is known by name, even if he eludes the vengeance of the law.

Health and Talent.

It is no exaggeration to say that health IS large ingredient in what the world calls talent. A man without it may be a giant in intellect, but his deeds will
 be the deeds of dwarf. But, if he has aqulck circulation, a good digestion, the
 bulk, thews, and sinews of a man, and the alacrity, and minimizing confidence inspired by these, and, though having
 but thlmbleful of brains, he will either blunder upon success or set failure at defiance. It is true, especially in this country, that the number of centaurs in every community-of men in whom heroic lntellects are allied with bodily constitutions as tough as those of horses -ls small; that, in general, man has reason to think himself we'll off in the lottery of life, if he draws the prize of a healthy stomach without mind, or the prize of a fine intellect with crazy stomach. But of the two, weak mind in Herculean frame is better than a giant mind ln crazy constitution. A pound of energy with an ounce of talent, will achieve greater results than a pound of talent with an ounce of energy. The first requisite to success in life is to be good animal. In any of the learned professions, vigorous constitution is equal, to at least fifty per cent. more brain. Wit, judgment, imagination, eloquence, all the qualities of the mind, attain thereby force and splendor, to which they could never approach with out 1t. But intellect in weak body, is ''like goldin spentswimmer's pocket" A mechanic may have tools of the sharp est edge and highest polish; but what are these without vigorous arm and hand Of what use is it that your mind has become vast granary of knowledge, if you have not strength to turn the key?- y?-Mercha'ats' o'sd ManaJacturers' Bulletin.

What is an Iceberg?

The icebergs, which are the glory and
 terror of the arctic seas, are simply the
 broken ends of monstrous glaciers. A
 glacier is 8 river of ice pushing it's way
 slowly down from mountain heights to
 the ocean level. Where, as on the
 arctic shores, the glacier reaches the
 sea, its lower end is impelled into the
 ocean, the base resting on the bottom.
 Propelled by the weight and force of
 its upper part, it is pushed into the sea
 or bay, often to @ considerable distance,
 and blows its slow way over the bottom,
 and carrying off huge rocks in it's path
 and tearing the bottom to pieces. Enor- nous fragments may be separated from the end of the glacier in two different ways, according to the temperature of the sea into which they protrude. In Spitzbergen and on the coasts of South ern Greenland. the congealed mass, which often projects far into the sea, is gradually undermined by the compara- lively warm waves which beat against 1t, and the remaining fragments over- hanging the water are detached with a terrible noise, and plunge into the ocean. M. Martins and other members of the French expedition to Spitzbergen have observed this at the base of all the gla- ciers of that archipelago. But in very cold seas, like that of Smith Strait, the water, being of still lower tempera- ture, can not melt the glacier, which continues its course into the bay, it's extreme end reaching far into the depths of the ocean, like an immense plane gliding over the rocks. Though lighter than the water, the enormous frozen mass is kept together below the surface by the force of cohesion. But a time comes when it must break apart, and then the broken piece shoots up ward to the surface, impelled by its less specific gravity. Thus icebergs are formed; for the larger masses. thus broken off are mountainous in their pro- portions.
 The total height of an iceberg always seven or eight times the height of the part above water. But icebergs have been met by vessels which were 300 and even 400 feet above water, and whose mass must thus have been from ?, 100 to 2,80O feet in perpendicular height. When such berg floats into sea, it's base melts more rapidly than its top, and the result is somer- sault, the whole vast mass turning over and over until it recovers its centre of gravity.
 The ice masses approach the equator from both poles; they obey the currents which seize them; but, owing to the greater warmth of the northern hemis- phere, icebergs have been found 25O miles nearer the equator in the southern than in the northern hemisphere.

COlINpSe Of the NerYes.

There is nothing more disheartening than nery- ous debility. In extreme cases of this class the
 sufferers do not care whether they live or die. A feeling of hopelessness comes over them and in some instances where the threatening symptoms are not met by prompt and proper treatment h. macy or idiocy ensues Yet nervous debility is not a dangerous complaint if wisely dealt with. A medicated stimulant is the remedy needed and in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters this specific for the complaint is presented in it's purest and most potent form. Nervous disease is usually comp1i- cated with other ailments. It frequently involves biliousness, constipation, irregularities of the bowels indigestion, and great mental depression. In the spring of the year, owing to the effect of chilling fogs, searching winds and other unhealthy atmospheric phenomena, upon the external nerves persons who are subject to affections often suffer acute distress, both of body and mind from this cause. It is therefore, advisable forall who are liable to thes and to the other bodily ills above mentioned, which so frequently accom- pany them, to commence the regular use of Hostet- ter's Bitters early in the season. The severe nervous and bilious attacks, with which they might otherwise be visited, can by this means be certainly avoided. As nervine gentle aperient and anti-bilious medicine, the Bitters have no equal.

Make a Map.
A Wooden Railroad.

The wooden railroads in the vicinity of Quebec are attracting considerable attention. It appears that there are now 100 miles in operation. The gauge IS feet 8 inches. The running time IS about 16 miles per hour, but trains have been run at the rate of 35 miles per hour. The rails are made of maple, 4x7 inches, set up edgewise, and notch ed into the cross-ties four inches deep. and held by two wedges driven in the notch on the outside of the rail. The ties are 8 inches thick, and laid 20 inch es apart. The cars have four wheels. and some of the engines weigh 30 tons. In frosty weather the driving wheels have less adhesion than on metal rails. but no considerable difficulty is expe. r1enced from this cause. The rails will last from two to four years, according to the quality of the timber and the amount of the traffic. The cost of snch roads is from $4 ,OOO to $7,OOO per mile, They seem to bevery well adapted for light traffic, and, as soon as the business of such lines may require it, metal rails may be substituted for wood without any change in the equipments.

How Bills Pass Congress.

Ex-Congressman Roosevelt, of New
 York, in 8 lecture in that city gave 8 very amusing illustration of the manner in which bills in Congress were read by the clerk, showing the utter impossi-
 blhty of any member gathering their import, because of the rapidity and in- distinctness of the utterance.
 The bill is sent to committee for consideration, the committee being principally composed from the ranks of the party in power. When the com mittee brings in bill and recommends its passage, the previous question is moved, which means that all debate on the subject shall be shut off. That is the universal practice, and the minority was powerless to amend or modify.
 Their only hope is motion to adjourn or motion for recess, say to given time the following day. It takes from half an hour to an hour to count the votes on each question, and when it is borne in mind that motions to adjourn can be made ad ininitum, by simply naming a different hour, few minutes earlier or later, it will be seen that this was monstrosity and 8 barbarism that should have been done away with years ago. The member who proposes the previous question has one hour to dis cuss his own bill, and a more absurd and foolish practice could hardly be imagined. He, having control of the bill permits only those to speak upon 1t whom he desires ; not more than six are generally heard, so that the remain ing 234 members are sitting in their seats like fools. If the bill goes through and is disapproved of by the Senate, a conference committee is appointed, who determine upon it's character, and their report is accepted without any discus sion. Through such committee on the! Civil Service bill sum of $2, ,5OO,- O0Oi was voted the Board of Public Works in Washington, without any ex- lsting claim or single provision for its expenditure. The expenditure of that sum could not be spoken against be- cause it would involve the extinction of the whole measure, and yet we call that legislation. When the question of increase of salaries came up, only an ad- dition of $1 ,50O was proposed, but conference committee increased it to $2, 800, and it was passed. MT. Roose- velti then alluded to the extraordinary power vested in the Speaker, who could recognize only such members as he pleased. When the Credit Mobilier question came up in the House, the committee reported the expulsion of two members, and failed to take any &C., tion. in regard to five others more or less involved. Nine members spoke in favor of the adoption of the report of the committee nine spoke against it by permission of the Speaker, and those who wished to take 8 more stringent view of the case and move for the ex- pulsion of five others who were equally implicated, could not obtain a hearing. Before member could be recognized by the Speaker he must send up his name and statement as to the point to which he would address himself. He change was required, else the effect of the evils would eventually prove detrimental to the national honor and national existence.

The Last Witches Executed in Eng
 land

The following brief notice of the last persons who suffered from witchcraft in these kingdoms is curious. In 1898, a girl l9 years of age having eaten a leaf of sorrel, which she got from reputed witch, fell into convulsions and vomit- ing. She is said to have vomitted needles, pins, feathers, an iron knife a span long, egg shells, &c. The accused was immediately committed to the coun- ty jail, and at the assizes held soon after, was hanged and burned ! In 1722, at Dornock, Southerland, an old woman was accused of being a witch. Her crime was, transforming her daughter into a pony, and getting her shod by the Devil, of which crime she was found guilty, and burned The act against witchcraft was repealed in England and Scotland about 175O but not in Ireland until 1921 {!
