Sued His Boss.

An apprentice to horse-shoer sued
his master in Philadelphia for damages,
complaining that, while he had been
sufficiently taught as to the fastening of
the shoes and the Welding of the toes,
he had not been instructed in the max
ing and fashioning Of the shoes, which
the craft call taking fire." The mas
ter obtained a verdict, having pleaded
that the youth received the customary
instruction and was given the usual OPP
portunities to learn the trade; that he
proved a stirring and likely young fell
low, and when his apprenticeship ex-
pred was above the average run OF APP
prentices in skill, but entertained the
absurd notion that he should possess
the skill and ability of master work
man OF many years experience.

Remembered Exactly.

A lying witness will often tell very
glib story, but he generally fails to
guard all his weak points. At trial in
court the following took place in at
tempting to prove an abb:
Attorney S.-You say that Ellis
plowed for you all day on the 26th OF
November?
Witness referring to book)-Yes.
S.-What did he do on the both?
W. - He chopped wood.
Son the 31st?
What was Sunday, and we went
squirrel hunting.
S.-What did he do on the 32dP
Vile thrashed wheat on that day.
S.-What did he do on the 33d?
W.T. was raining, and he shaved
out some handles.
S.-What did he do on the 34th?
Vile chopped wood.
S.-What did he do on the?
But before the question could be
finished, the witness wife seized him
by the collar and whisked him outside
of the witness-box. yelling in his af-
frighted ear
you old fool! don't you know there
are only thirty one days in the month
of November?"

REPEATED. and frequent discovery Of
dishonesty liz mtn who have long oc-
cupied positions OF trust arouses a gen
eral feeling of insecurity and distrust.
1t is uncomfortable to be suspicious,
but the times indicate that we cannot
know whom it is safe to consider and
treat as perfectly trustworthy. There
fore business rules iii some respects
should be more strict; the accounts of
those who in any way have the funds OF
others in their charge should be regu-
larly, frequently and thoroughly ex-
amined mot because of suspicion, but
that everything may be SO open and
clear that suspicion becomes impossi-
bic. Every truly honest man who has
the management of the financial affairs
of corporations or Of individuals will
desire in such times as these that ac-
counts and statements be examined and
tested. And if some strict rule of this
kind be stringently carried out, no one
can feel offended, and many who are
unconscientious will be kept from
yielding to temptation.

BITS OF INFORMATION.

THE seven wonders of the world were
the Temple of Diana at Ephesus; the
Mausoleum, erected by Artemisia to
Mausoleus; the Pharos of Alexandrias
the Colossus of Rhodes the Pyramids
Of Egypt; the Walls, Temples and
Hanging Gardens of Babylon; the
Statue Of Jupiter Olympus at Halicar-

A PRINTERS devil was formerly the
boy who took the printed sheets from
the tympan of the press. Old Moxon
says: "They do commonly SO black
and bedaub themselves that the work
men do loosely call them devils" The
errand boy is now so called because he
is the seTUats SeyUor9tn1 Of the estab-
lishment. The words at one time used
to signify wretched, poor, prosecuted,
or ill-used creature.
MANY of the most celebrated French
and English authorities have argued
that the hind legs Of a horse are its on
ly propelling power, while the fore legs
are merely intended as supports for the
body. Carefully taken photographs,
howe Ter, have corrected this erroneous
impression, and proved conclusively
that the horse relies almost, if not quite,
as much on it's fore legs as its hind ones
to aid it in throwing itself forward.
In the early settlement Of Illinois and
Missouri two trappers we're going down
the Mississippi river to New Orleans
on fatboat. Every well-regulated
boat in those days carried plenty Of
whisky aboard. The trappers tapped a
barrel with a gimlet and sucked the
whisky through straw. The Missou-
rian "puked," but the Illinois man, like
his successors, being proof against SO
weak a beverage, kept his down. From
that day Illinois men were called Suck
ers" and Missourians "Pukes."
AT the Republican Convention held
in Cincinnati, the nominations were
perfected en- the seventh ballot. The
result Of the first ballot was Blaine,

Morton, Ill; Hartranft, 63. On the
third ballot Blaine had 1913; Hayes, 81 ;
Bristow, 121; Conkling, 90; Morton,

lot Blaine had 1872; Hayes, 60; Bristow,
1876; Conkljng, "a; Morton, 1903; Hart

had 287; Hayes, 1902; Bristow, ia;

sos; Hayes, 113; Bristow, Ill: Conk-
li-g, 81; Morton, 50; Hartranft, 50. On
the seventh ballot Hayes had 1884
Blaine, 354, and the others were all di-
vided, the Republican votes being
gradually given to Hayes and Wheeler
almost unanimously. This settled the
nominations.

FROM papers hitherto withheld the
story of Andrew Jackson's marriage is
now told correctly IN the Cincinnati
Commercial for the first time. Rachel
Donelson, his wife, grew up among the
stirring scenes of frontier life, and when
yet in her teens married Capt. Louis
Robards. Robards treated her SO
wretchedly that Peyton Short, Vir-
ginia lawyer, wrote to Mrs. Richards ad-
vising her to get divorce. AS was in
tended, the letter fell into the hands Of
the husband, the idea being to provoke
duel. Instead of fighting, the craven
husband tried to blackmail Short for
money. Mrs. Richards was taken by
her husband to Kentucky, where she
was placed at Mrs. Donelson's boarding
house. Andrew Jackson was boarder
there. He fell in love with Mrs. Rob-
ards, and, having learned that the Vir-
ginia Legislature had granted her di-
vorce, married her. Two years after
the marriage he heard, to his horror,
that his wife had not been divorced at
all. He set to work, however, got the
divorce, and, in 1894, he was remarked.

How to Train the Memory.

Your memory is bad, perhaps, but I
can tell you two secrets that will cure
the worst memory. One of them is to
read subject when interested; the
other is to not only read, but think
When you have read paragraph or "a
page stop, close the book and try tore
member the ideas on the page, and not
only call them vaguely to mipd, but
put them IN words and speak them out.
Faithfully follow these two rules and
you have the golden keys of knowledge.
Besides inattentive reading, there are
other things injurious to the memory
One is the habit of lskimming over
newspapers, items Of news, smart re-
marks, bits Of INFORMATION, political re-
fections, fashion notes, SO that all is a
confused tumble, never to be thought
Of again, thus diligently cnltivatlng a
habit OF careless reading hard TO
break. Another is the reading Of
trashy novels.

"IS 1t a Queer Cure 20

We find in our exchanges this para
graph going the rounds:
A child in Auburn, i'll of diphtheria,
whose life was despaired Of, was cured
by Stacking lime. Small Jumps Of lime
were kept constantly Stacking near it's
mouth for more than day and half,
until more than a barrel Of lime was
thus Stacked. The child was thought
to be dying before this remedy was en-
ployed. It breathed the fumes of the
lime constantly until cured" Bangor
(Me.) Wing.
This may sound queer" but it is
not only a cure-if properly used-for
diphtheria, but in connection with hot
steam it positively cures membranous
Group. That dread scourge of SO many
households, whose light and JOY of life
has gone out with the loss of loved
children, is no longer an unmanageable
disease. The method of using steam
mingled with the fumes Of Stacked lime
is very successful in both diphtheria
and "old-fashioned Group" The bed
is covered over and made as close a tent
SIS possible. Into this close tent, where
the little patient lies, and must be kept,
pipe is introduced which leads from
boiling water near the bedside. Into a
par Of warm water Jumps Of unslacked
lime are occasionally dropped; the
Stacking makes, of course, a hot fer
ment aud bubbling, and the limy per-
fumes pretty well fill the tent and are
breathed by the child. It may or may
not require nurse or parent to stay
much Of the time in the tent, on the
bed with the child, to keep it quiet and
contented. Sometimes it takes two OF
three days the boiling water and lime
being duly renewed as often as they
fail, and the hot air and steam in the
little tent kept up night and day. One
little boy on Trumbull street, in this
city, lay for six days without change
while suffering from membranous Group
which threatened death--but, at last
when all the doctors began to despair
the Group yielded, and the little fel.
lows life was saved. The remedy. we
think, works equally we'll in diphtheria
and the time required, either in diph-
liberia or Group, is not often more than
two days. But in the case of diphthe.
ria, burning sulphur is very important
additional advantage, which must moi
be omitted. The sulphur may be burned
on a hot fre-shovel, held under the
Hartford Times.

this fact which renders our peaceful
and lawful victory of such priceless
value. One year ago, in the North
american ReUSeaU, in discussing cog
nate question, and before I had ever
dreamed that crime against the ballot
was possible in Maine, I used some
words which venture, in closing my
remarks, to quote as opposite to the
great subject we are now considering :
The mighty power Of a republic of
100000 of people, with continent
for their possession, can only be welded
permanently by being welded honestly,
in fair and generous struggle, by par
tisan power, Let US not forget those
issues and those ends which are above
rarty. Organized wrong viii ultimately
be met by organized resistance. I'm
partial suffrage is our theory; it must
become our practice. Any party of
American citizens can bear to be de-
feated, but no party of Americans will
bear to be defrauded. The men who
are interested in a dishonest count are
units and the men who are interested
in an honest count are millions. I wish
to speak for the millions of all political
parties, and in their name to declare
that the republic must be strong enough,
and shall be strong enough, to protect
the weakest of it's citizens in all their
rights"
