Wood Carpets.

A very interesting and impor-
tant invention has been made in
Glasgow, Scotland. 1t is known
as wood mosaic-carpeting, and
promises to prove a very elegant,
ingenius and economical addition
TO foor-covering materials. In
stead of removing the floor, or
laying the mosaic in their layers,
we have in the new invention a
literal carpet with textile back
one that can be rolled, laid down
and cut to pattern just like one of
the ordinary class. Great demand
has already been made for the new
commodity, and factories are about
to be erected especially for its
manufacture. The woods used are
various ; in general they are sim
ply vanished, and show the grain.
The carpet is made by cutting the

A st. Louis paper tells this story {:
"There is a fact lately come to light,
in a small town where there is a
great deal of primitive simplicity,
that the presentation of Shirt by
a woman to the man she wants to
marry will cut the heart out of love.
One young lady tried it, and made
her lover a glistning white shirt
with her own pretty hands. He
retired to his clearinghouse, put
it on, and went straightway to ste
and make love to another girl. Clad
in a clean shirt he felt above the
seamstress who had made it, and
she lost his coveted company. She
did not sit down and whine over
the linen that had gone astray, but
took a pistol in her delicate hand
and tripped her way to the board
ing-house aforesaid. She met the
lover, and presenting
the pistol to him, told him to take
off that shirt. He hesitated and
was lost. He peeled and handed
the girl the soiled garment, which
she took on the point of her pistol,
and polled it into the stove. And
the flame died out and her love
went mp the chimney with the
smoke"

A little Vermont girl called at
the drug store and said: "My
mother wants ten cents worth of

clerk. The child insisted that it
was jumps she had been sent for
but returned to her mother for
further instructions. Very soon
she returned, and said it was hops
she wanted.

other said he would pay us in day

or two, as sure rs we were born.
Query-Did the man lie or were we
never born! Another said he'd
settle as sure as shooting. We are
led to the conclusion that shooting
is uncertain. Another said he hop
ed to go to the devil if he did not
pay us in three days. Haven't
seen him since, suppose he's gone,
but we trust he has hoped in vain.
Quite number said they would
see us tomorrow. These men have
been stricken blind, or else to-mor-
row has not come. One told us rs
soon as he got some money. The
man could not lie, so of course he
has not got cent since"

With many people who are past
the meridian of life, it often be-
comes difficult to obtain a good
lights sleep; indeed, the habit OF
waking at a certain hour of the
night, and lying awake for sever al
hours, becomes fixed, and one
which is very difficult to throw off,
There may be various causes which
viii produce this effect, but there
is one very prominent cause, and
that is Indigestion and indigestion
is often caused by the habit of
drinking too much tea or other
fluids at supper; the consequence
is that sound and steady sleep
through the night becomes impos-
sible without the use Of some
means which will overcome this
propensity to lay awake. To do
this and so to sleep in five minutes
is not difficult thing, and may be
done by applying friction to all
parts of the body and limbs. To
accomplish it take a crash towel,
and give it lively motion in rub
bling downward from the head un-
till the blood viii be put in a lively
circulation, rubbing hardest upon
the chest. If a towel is not at
hand, the hand may be used.

The Cincinnati Saturday Night
tells a good thing:
Yesterday morning a nice young
man got into car on the Dayton
Short Line railroad, and saw to his
delight the only vacant seat in the
coach was Ivy the side of a young
lady acquaintance. He reached
for that seat with joyous strides,
and her eyes answered his delight
ed looks. But just as he had got
there, an elderly party from the
other end Of the car waltzed up
the isle and dropped into the covet-
ed seat. The young man approach
ed more slowly and accosted the
young lady. GLOW is your bro
ther!7 he asked "is he able to get
out" "Oh, yes" she said. "Wil
he be very badly marked? he con-
tinued; and the old gentleman
grew suddenly interested. ooh
no. said the fair deceiver; "with
the exception Of few pits on his
forehead, you would never know
he ever had ever had it, "Were
you not afraid of it!" the young
man went on, while the old gen.
tleman broke out in cold pcrspir-
alton. "Not at ALL" she replied;
Il had been vaccinated, you know"
The seat was vacated instantly,
two young hearts beat as a half
dozen, and the prattle of "nice
talk" strcwed that part of the car,
while a gray-haired old man scowl-
ed upon them from the hard ac-
of the wood box.

The Tragedy at Mercer.

AT the inquest of the murder and suicide
in Mercer, James Tracy testified as fol-
lows My son, Greenleaf Tracy, has APP
peared strange for some time; he borrowed
double-barreled gun the afternoon of the

and came out under the left ear.
Hiram Walton testified 1t was nearly
o'clock when Tracy came to my house with
a gun he looked wild and haggard; he
spoke to Mary Walton, who was at my
house; asked him what he was going to do
with gun; he said: " am here if you

Bully Engineering.

The difference in hight between the two
sources of water supply to our village Is
forty.onc feet--that is, the Duffy dam is
forty feet lower than the Gleason dam. It
cost about $4,000 to lay the branch pipe to
Duffy dam. The water supply from both
has been VIGOROUSLY insufficient to keep
the reservoir full. Mr.. Richardson, pitting
that common sense which recognizes that
water does not flow up hill, against high
engineering, bethought him that If he
stopped up entirely the Duffy branch,
while the quantity of water might be less
in the Duffy dam, it might be more in the
reservoir, and he did it. Immediately upon
plugging the Duffy branch, the reservoir
overfowed, and has been overlooking ever
sluce.
It is now probable that Mr.. Duffy will
sue the corporation for the loss of water to
his dam, caused by the stoppage of that
supply from the corpora ton pipes which
he had confidently counted upon to furnish
a full supply to his trout pond, the natural
supply of his pond having been found in
sufficient in dry times. MIR. Richardson
suggests that if the idea of hydraulic laws,
which were obtained in the laying of the
Duffy branch, is to hold in laying any new
supply pipe, it might be well to consider
the propriety that they be laid so as to OBJ
tain water from the Otter Creek, below
Sutherland Falls without pumping.
