A Modern Ruth.

A young physician in California was
engaged to be married to a young lady
in Southern State, and as keepsake
sent her a small nugget Of gold. He
was prosperous, and the wedding was
fixed for an early date. But sudden
fall in his circumstances reduced him to
poverty. Too honorable to hold the
young lady to her promise in his altered
circumstances, he reluctantly and with
many heart pang wrote releasing her
from her engagement. But the young
lady had a brave heart, and resolved on
keeping her promise in spite of the
change,.in her lovers position. She took
the little nugget of gold and had it made
INTO ring, which she sent to the young
physician. On the ring was the inscrip-
ton "Entreat me not to leave thee;
Tor whittier thou goest, l will 60; and
where thou lodgest, 1 will lodge; thy
people shall be my people, and thy God
my God; the Lord do so to me, and more
also, if aught but death part thee and
ne'".-(Ruth l., l6).

The Shape of Bells.

1t is very likely that the shap Of
bells was suggested at first by tke sonor-
Gus qualities of certain metaiic vessels
in household use, which when struck
gave fourth peculiar sounds. BY different
practical tests, it was found in time that
the present conical form was the best
adapted for the conveyance of sound to
distance. In the catalogue of one of
the bell founders of this place, it is stated
that,in the single department Of church
bells, the establishment has nearly one
hundred patterns, extending from the
treble tones adapted to the belfry OF the
wayside chapel to the deep notes that
resound from the massive tower of the
cathedral "F t'". iHd s2ta1 w -
The patterns which regulate the inside
and outside contour of bells are known
as "sweepboards." DIXON suo,Difsq
They are made of pine, and have that
part of their edge which comes in con-
tact with the mixture of clay and sand
which has been dried on the mould lined
with polished steel or sheet brass. m
These are made to revolve on their
piyoted ends against the core casing
and against the outside casing, until by
their scraping action they symmetrically
fashion the mould coatings to- their
proper curvature. ~ 'bho

The Royal Wedding.

Preparations have alreadv commenced
for the dresses to.be worn at the King
of Spain's wedding. His bride.elect is
to have two trousseaux--one made in
Paris, the other at Vienna. The most
superb fabrics are to be used for this
event. First, several new velvets, with
brown prune, blue and violet grounds,
embroidered with fowerets, particularly
pinks Of bright colors mixed with gold
threads; then there are shot satins Of
most original colorng, such as vert de
girls and silver, salamander and copper,
flame and celadon blue, which last, in
close proximity, show most extraor-
dinary pink-blue shade. The wedding
toilets now in hand are composed Of three
colors and of three materials. For ex-
ample, seal brown satin skirt; a tunic,
draped, of Carmelite armure, the hem

the tunic draped with ruby and old gold
ribbons, the casaquin Of old gold velvet

Coal Oil as a Pain Killer.

The efficacy Of coal oil as a pain7killer
is not generally known, nevertheless it
has curative properties to a remarkable
degree. This was illustrated by an Incl
dent which occurred at the Talisman mine
a few days ago. On Sunday afternoon
man named John Jones was sitting in
the hoisting works, when large black
spider, of the venomous species, bit him
on the side. 1t caused great pain, and
the resources of the workmea were taxed
to suggest means to relieve the sufferer.
At length Mr.. Green, the engineer, got
some coal oil and applied to the affected
part, when the pain ceased almost in
stantly, and no trouble has since been
experienced from the ite.--Amador

Thoughts for Teachers

What in life is more beautiful than
happy human faces z
'.If you desire your pupils TO be pune
tual and early, set the example yOnr-
self.
Don't give your pupils long lectures
on mortality. Short sermons are the
best"
''See that your pupils understand
clearly what You desire them 10 do
Most Of all, endeavor to understand il
yourself"
There is not trouble 40 deep and
swift-running that We may not cross
safely over, if we have courage to steer,
and strength TO pull
'The mind of the pupil is to the teach
er what the clay is to the potter---a
plastic body that may be so fashioned
as to become an object of admiration or
iusignifcance."
''The true value of teacher is deter
mined not by what he knows, nor by
his ability to impart what he knows,
but by his ability to stimulate in others
desire to know" THfr-
"The teacher whose mind shall not
become desert must drink daily from
the fountain of his calling. Forty eager
pupils cannot quenoh their thirst for
knowledge by looking at an empty yes.
SELL" r..t.. a.t n... r....Y '
"The early years OF life have the
principal influence in moulding charac-
ter. l believe, in truth, that a person
can so mould the child by the time he is
ten years old, that no future training
can dispossess his mind Of the principal
inculcated" ..a. aa arH''#al .H
"Courtesy of manner is one Of the
greatest essentials to teacher, or sny-
one who aims at success in guiding
children ON the road to knowledge. Not
that they should 60 through all the for
mula that Chesterfield hays down as es-
sential to intercourse between ladies and
gentleman, but they must show studied
kindness for their welfare, and regard
for their feelings 1uss rood 97ha .a.''
"Public education is an interest sufi-
GENTLY serious to call for candid investi-
cation instead of partisan legislation.
Granted that enthusiasm may lead seine
to overstate or misstate the Office and
excellencies of public education, it still
remains for all whose interests are affec-
ted to ascertain whether or not these in
terests are advanced by sustaining pub
lie schools" HCNn1q osaai 2''n0 y
"The teacher mnst know how to enter
into the hidden recesseslof the youthful
mind, and from that point work OUT
ward and upward The pupil is like a
treasure in the sea, and the teacher like
diver who goes to the bottom to bring
it up. If you do not descend and ascer-
tain first where the childs mind is, you
will not bring him up where you are.
The descent of the teacher is essential to
the ascent of the pupil" 'aat4 3.t eta

BONDS CONTESTED.

The bonds issued by the city council
OF Emporia, and the commissioners of
Lyon county, in accordance with a re-
cent law of the state of Kansas, 10 help
rebuild the Normal school, have been is
sued, and their validity will, it is stated,
be tested in the courts.-Emp. Ledger.
IL is unfortunate for EmpOria and
Lyon county that contest of this kind
should be inaugurated. AS mere mon
ey investment, the rebuilding of the Nor
mai school on the terms provided by the
law will pay them largely.-Lawrence
journal.
We assure the Journal that the people
here agree with it. But does the Journal
not know we have n statesman here from
Spoon river, ILL.,, who is in exceedingly
bad odor-the fellow that killed the Nor
NAL school in the legislature the last time
he was there, by downright imbecility,
and made an ass of himself generally?
Well, this fellow is a demagogue, and
tried to raise Juror by which he could
make little political capital and bring
himself to life by getting up a fight on
the bonds. The Journal would have
smiled TO see how the people sat down
on him In mass meeting last Saturday
There was not a grease spot of the states
man left. The very idea that man of
the Spoon river statesman's reputation
for trickery, as well as his record on the
bond misunderstanding. favored bonds
for every imaginable object, and on every
imaginable occasion, should all at once
get virtuOiIs, caused a universal smile;
and when the time came the s. S. found
himself in the kind of hornets nest he
did not expect. His failure and his cha
grin were as great as in his statesnaGnlike
affair with Charley Aldrich, and he
sneaked home Saturday by the same al
ley he took when he arrived from that
session of the legislature three years ago
We assure the journal that the people of
Lyon county understand the benefits of
the Normal school and will raise the
amount required of them.

OVER THE STATE

Three hundred Pennsylvania Dunk
ards are locating in Dickinson county.
Dickinson county has lost 100000
from prairie fires within the last three
months.
Clay Center shipped 1899 car loads of
produce last year, 1T cars more than the
year previous, when it was railroad
terminus
Because the last Legislature appreciated
800 for tobbaco and $50 for bibles for
prisoners in the penitentiary, the Pea
body Gazette wants to know why so
much was squandered on bibles.
About 1000 votes were cast at the re-
cent election in Fort Scott. A. j. Bay
less Republica, was elected mayor, and
nearly the whole Republican ticket.
Hon. ]. H. Sallee, member of the house,
and Democrat, was elected city attor-
ney.
The. trial of J. W. Hart, editor of the
Abilene Chronicle, was concluded last
week, after q weeks's contest. He was
tried for libel, the complaining witness
being c. L. Murphy, who alleged that
the Chronicle had libeled his character
and thereby prevented his election to the
office of sheriff in the fall of 1877. The
attorneys for the prosecution were Judge
Humphreys and Messrs. Mahan & Bur.
ton, and the attorneys for the defense
were Colonel Spivey, Mr.. Burroughs
and Mr.. Moore. The jury brought in a
verdict of acquittal. The costs of the
suit to the county were $500. Mr.. Hart
is to be congratulated.

Sheffield firm employing 1000 wOrkmen

that the Belgians had more economical

they at once adopted the improvement.
Unless the English manufacturers look
more closely into the matter they will
find their goods driven out of Mexico,
South America and China by American
cotton. The London Times says that a
hundred English workmen who would
not believe that their work was equaled
on the continent of Europe, were sent to
the Paris exposition, where the conceit
was taken out of them, and since then
they have not been so much inclined tc
strike. 1t is believed that one cause, II
not the principal cause of the present in

found in the self conceit of masters and
men and the dishonest shoddy work fol-
which the masters are mainly respons

INTRODUCTION OF WHEAT INTO AMER
ICA.-Prior to the discovery of this con-
tinent by Columbus, there was no cereal
in America approaching in nature the
wheat plant; it was not until 1880 that
wheat found its way into Mexico, and
then only by chance A slave of Cortez
found few grains of wheat in parcel
of rice and showed them to his master,
who ordered them to be planted. The
result showed that wheat would thrive
well on Mexican soil, and to-day one of
finest wheat valleys in the world is near
the Mexican capital. From Mexico the
cereal found its way to Peru. Maria
D'Escobar, wife of Don Diego de Cha
YES, carried few grains to Lima, which
were planted, the entire product being
used for seed for several successive crops
AT Quito. Ecuador, monk of the order
of Saint Francis, by the name of Fray
Iodosi Bixi, introduced to new cereal,
and it is said that the jar which contain
ed the seeds planted is still preserved by
the monks of Quito. Wheat was intro
duced into the present limits,of the Unit
ed States contemporaneously with the
settlement of our country by the English
and Dutch.-American Miller.

Neal Dow is ever ready to clam great
and good practical results for the prohib-
itory law in Maine Mr.. Ingraham a
member of the Legislature, recently said,
in an official report, that drunkenness
had increased and business interests de-
clined. Mr.. Dow replies that there is
not distillery or brewery in the State,
and that the importation of liquor is ex-
ceedingly small. He thinks that $500,
600 year would cover the value of ali
the liquor struggled in. "Our vast West
India trade, 'he says, "used to be little
else than sending lumber of many kinds
to the islands, and taking home rum for
our own consumption, and molasses to
be converted into New England rum in
our distllleries, also for home use. In
those old rum days the people were poor
and unthrifty; now, everything in the
State, in that respect is reversed, as the
result of the vast saving, direct and in
direct, coming from the law which has
driven the rum trade out. Portland, in
1856, lost $10,O00,000 in a conflagraton,
bur its valuation is now greater than ever,
having gained $4,000 last year under
prohibition; while Boston, with free rum
Qicense), lost $4,000, 900; and New York
and Brooklyn, with rum enough, have
not gained / think"

singing with the rest, and continued an
active participant in the exercises of the
meeting until its adjournment, soon after
which the detective, first securing the as
sistance of a deputy sheriff, took brother
Billings into custody and securely iron
ed him.
Upon careful examination of the
baggage carried by Pete Mccartney,
alias elder Billings, about 10000 of
counterfeit money of various denomina-
tiOns was found neatly slowed away be-
meath the tracts in the trunk of the sac
religious old counterfeiter. The con-
siernation created by the arrest was fast
giving place to "a feeling of bitterness
that might have ended in the summary
punishment of the prisoner had not the
detective taken the precaution to secure
a conveyance to remove Mccartney to
the Jail at Cleveland. The prisoner was
loaded into a wagon and taken in charge
by the two officers who made his arrest
They started about dusk and were ac-
companied by the wife OF Mccartney,
who they graciously permitted to occu-
Ply a seat beside her husband. The kind
hearted and thoughtful woman had pro-
vided a basket of tempting lunch. AS
the night was cool and the ride long
one, the appetite of the officers soon be-
came sharpened TO keen edge, and
they did not object to partake freely of
what the woman gave them to eat, which
was rinsed down with copious draught
of currant wine, the production of the
woman's own garden. The conversation
was animated and pleasant. Pete didn't
blame the boys for doing their duty. He
would do the same thing were he in their
places.
That part of this story which occurred
directly after drinking this wine, rela-
ting to the doings of Mccartney and his
wife on that occasion, must be omitted,
as the officers were asleep and unable to
relate it. 1t was broad daylight and
raining when they awoke from their sleep
totind themselves securely locked astrlde
an apple tree. 1t is fair to presume that
the wine partaken of by the officers was
drugged and that they soon after became
stupid from the effects of it. The KEYS
to the handouts and leg irons were ia
ken from the pockets of the detective,
the irons removed from McCartney's
wrists and ANGLES, the officers handed
over into an orchard and laid either side
of an apple tree. The right hand of one
fastened to the left of the other by means
of the handouts, and their respective
legs bound together after the same fashion.
They discovered themselves in the morn
ing, minus their watches and money.
Pete and his wife had gone on their way
rejoicing, no donbt, at their fortunate es-
cape from the clutches of the law.
There was house not far distant from
where the officers were fastened, but it
was with considerable difficulty they
succeeded in attracting the attention of
its occupant, who came to their rescue.
The detective didn't feel just like 60
ing back to Mayfeld. 1t wasn't his
home and the place had no attraction
for him. 1t was thought the deputy
sheriff did, but how he accounted for the
lost team this deponent sayeth not
