SIMON GIRTY, THE WHITE Saw
FAGE.u-In old pioneer days, no name
on the whole border was more dreaded
than. that Of Simon Girty.. From 1778,
when Girty, Elliott, Mckee, and other
well known tories fed to the Indians
from Fort Pitt, down to Mad Anthony
Wayne's' Battle in 1894, scarce q ma
raud, massacre, or scalping foray 0c-
Cured, but what Simon Girty was at
the bottom. The hated name was
terror in every settlers cabin. causing

Your Age.

There is good deal of amusement
In the following magical table of fig
ures. 1t will enable you to tell how
oid the young ladies are. Just hand
this table to young lady, and request
her to tell you in which column or col
umns her age is contained; add togeth-
er the figures at the top of the columns
In which her age is found, and you
have the great secret. Thus, suppose
her age to be seventeen, you will find
that number in the first and fifth col
umns; add the first figures of these two
columns. Here is the magic table.

In the Presby yterian General Assem-
bly, of the; United States, recently ia
st. Louis, az vote was takens on the
question of total abstinence, resulting
in 2les yeas, to l48 nays. A motion
was madeendors the woman stem
perance movement and recommending
total abstinence, and lin the midst of
the discussion the assembly ad djolrned.
No opposition was expressed to the
principles of total abstinence but there
was. an Sbjection to the consideration
of the question, by the Assembly One
of the speakers. Dr. Crosby. said he be-
lievedfhe Presbyterian Ohurchsshould
present an unbroken .frontaagainstt the.
accaEsed liquor traffic, hut he foundiani
obstacle to the mplishment of the
work. The tshrethren, want to force
their peculiar notions upon Others"
He believed, he, said, like Cman v 9th
ers, III total abstinence as a Ihatter of
jexpedjency, but heazbelieveds every
man should be permitted to judge Of
the application of the principle before
God and his ewn eonscienee.-He OBJ
jected to making it law of the church,
as that would debas men from deciding
the question for himself u Z. -

PosT OFFICE RULEs.--Never buy
any stamps. Hand your letter to the
postmaster and tell him to put stamp
on it. If you are out of change tell
him you will hand it to him the next
time you are in. 1t won't be necessa-
ry to do so, however, as three cents is
nothing. When you hand in your let
ter do not forget to tell the postmaster
to "be sure and have it CO." If you
do not give this warning, he may keep
it in the Office. Always remember to
call the postmaster and hand your let
tiers to him, and do not put them in
the letter-bOx. If you don't the post
master will not have SO much to do,
and you will therefore encourage lazi-
ness. Remember that the postmaster
would consider it quite unkind to have
your letters stamped by any one but
himself. He will be pleased also to
put " rappers on papers and back them
occasionally, or Oftener, especially
when he is distributing the mail.

A New Fast Freight Express Line
to the West on the Baltimore

A New Fast Freight Express Line
to the West on the Baltimore
Road ,:----.-.- -....---
From the Boston Daily Globe.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, in order to more successful
ly compete for Western business from
this market, as we'll as from Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New York and Provi-
dence, have established fast freight
express line westward from Baltimore,
which will make close connections at
each roads terminus, the same as pas
senger express trains. We are inform
ed these trains will start daily at A.
M, arriving at Cincinnati on the morn
ing of the third day; al st. Louis and
Chicago on tho morning of the fourth
day. To Louisville, Columbus, Indi-
danapolis, Pittsburgh, and other points
west, northwest and southwest, the
time will be the same, due allowance
being made for longer or shorter dis
tanceS.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad has
become very popular throughout the
New England States. Its connections
are probably more numerous than any
of the four trunk lines. Its terminal
facilities at Baltimore are unsurpassed
by any railroad on the continent. They
have shown wonderful aptitude for
adding to these facilities as occasion
requires. Their elevators, steamships,
piers, etS., at Locust Point, Baltimore,
show that great minds control at least
one railroad that labors for the inter-
ests of stockholders as well as the in
terests of the public. By this new
fast freight line, goods can be transpor-
ted by this route from Boston to Gin
cinnati in six or seven days, and to st.
Louis and Chicago in seven to eight
days. We wish itall success, and hope
it will Re Literally patrOnized by the
public. wg tsggfa-sr rr

Practical Suggestions.

For chafed shoulders in horses, wash
with warm soft water and CASTLE soap,
and then dress with crude petroleum.
! If liberated, wash them with carbolie
soap and apply petroleum aiterward.
If possible let the horse rest for q few
days.
Two ounces Of common carbolic acid
dissolved in three quarts of water, ap-
piled once a week through the aid of
a watering pot, viii rid fowls of all
pests in the way of veImin.
Mention is mado of q New Hamp-
shire man who keeps 500 fowls. all
healthy and good layers. He scatters
them oyer the arm-which is 400
acres in extent-in fiocks OF twenty
five to fifty, providing for each q cheap
house 9xl3 feet. Their broad range IS
the secret OF his success.
The swelling of the bars of the mouth
is sometimes caused in young horses
by the cutting of the teeth, in which
case scoring the swollen parts lightly
with sharp knife will cure it, or,
what is better still, touching them with
lunar caustic. In old horses it occurs
from over feeding with corn or other
grain, when a change of food and cool
ing medicine should be given.
A strawberry grower states that to
two barrels of rain water he puts one
quarter of pound of ammonia, and
one quarter of q pound of common
nitre, and with this solution he spriak-
led his strawberry beds when blossom
ing. The result was double the amount
of large strawberries to that just adj
joining not so treated.
The most permanent, agreeable, and
economical walks agound o dwelling
are made of gravel. The path should
be dug out one foot deep and the soil
removed. Eight inches Of coarse
broken stone should be laid In and
well rammed and rolled after every
shower.

Henry Ward Beecher was recently
asked 'What can we do for friend for
whom we have prayed long time,
and all that we can say or do only
mskes him more determined to have
his own 'way?' And hs Ipakes this re-
ply: Nobody likes to live Ia "A At
mosphere of incessant repr0of. II yoa
want to win his heart and melt his op-
position, do not darken his life by
making him feel, even by your looks
of air, that you are groaning over him
as a miserable sinner. Make his life
cheerful to him; make your own love
for him a source of joy, let your piety
be full of sweetness and light; show
the utmost appreciation of his good
qualities, and be patient. The case, as
YOU state it, is nota very bad one.' 1t
is an entire sermon, and one of the
best that ever came from even Mr..
Beecher.
