THE State Board of Health of Michigan
has made the experiment of holding "sani-
tary conventions" in different portions of
the State, which are attended by the chief
officers of the Board. At these meetings,
which continue two days, papers are read by
members of the Board and others, and the
aid Of the local physicians and clergy is Sc
cured, to make the meetings popular and
useful Naturally the local sanitary wants
of the place where the meeting is held, are
largely discussed, and the people are awak-
ened to knowledge, not always agreeable,
Of the dangers which surround their own
residences The second of these sanitary
conventions was held last week, at Grand
Rapids, Michigan, and the report of the pro-
ceedings shows that it was in the highest
degree successful, at least so far as relates
to the amount and quality of the information
presented. This information was heard by
a goodly number of the citizens of the place
and is printed quite fullyin the local papers,
so that it cannot fail to reach large num-
ber of the people, and to produce beneficial
raSuIfs

In view of the howl made by the Fusion

In view OF the howl made by the Fusion
lists over the expenditure of money by the
Republicans it is rather amusing to read in
letter from G. W. Haskell, Fusion candi-
date for representative from Bethel, to the
Hon. F. NJ. Fogg that he didn't want to con-
test for his opponents seat in the House un-
lsss he was sure of getting it, because the
fall campaign drew pretty hard on him and
he was not burdened with filthy lucre.

AT the coming municipal elections every
vote thrown for Frederick Fox will be con-

which disfranchised Portland and several

seats to men who were never elected. No

he is ready to be made an apologist for the

THE BLACK LIST.

Here is the list in black letters of the men
who, by an unhappy accident being in
important official positions, deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
it was their sworn duty to execute justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but smirched the
fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately were. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list is appended the names of such
other men as have taken offices to which
they knew they were not elected, and who
become equally guilty by taking advantage
of the vile conduct of the original malefac-
tors:

A WRITER in the american Natur-
alist refers to the popular statement
that one can make an owl commit sui
eide by twisting its own head off if
person looks steadily at it, meanwhile
walking rapidly around it. 1t is
stated that the owl thus regarded will
turn tis head quite around, and, for
getting to turn its body, twist its head
off The writer tried the experiment,
walked around the owl three times, all
the while intently looking at it, until
lie discovered what he had failed to no.

A RECENT decision of the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania fixes the limit
of the liability of the Pennsylvania
Railroad for damage in case of death
by an accident at FIVE thousand dollars.
This decision was rendered in the case
of Mrs. Langston whose husband was
killed in railroad accident near Pitts
burgh over two years ago. She sued
the company, laying her damage at
twenty thousand dollars. An Alle-
gheny county jury gave her five thous-
and seven hundred and twelve dollars.
From this verdict the company ap-
pealed, on the ground that under the
Act Of Assembly of 1868 there could be
no recovery for greater amount than
five thousand dollars The new Con-
stitution provides that there shall be no
limit to the amount to be recovered
for injury; but it was claimed on the
part of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
that as they had never accepted the
provisions of the new Constitution
they were not amenable to any legis-
lation under it. The Supreme Court
decided in favor of the claims of the
railroad company.

AN exchange gives the law of find
ing as follows The finder has very
clear title against all the world but the
owner. The proprietor of railroad
car or shop has no right to demand
the property which may be found on
his premises. Such proprietors may
make regulations in regard to lost prop
erty which will bind their employees,
but they cannot bind the public. The
law of finding was declared by the
Kings Bench one hundred years ago
in case in which the facts were these.
A person found wallet containing a
sum Of money on shop floor. He
handed the wallet and contents to the
shop keeper to be returned to the
owner. After three years, during which
time the owner did not call for the
property the finder demanded the wal
let and money from the shopkeepcr.
The latter refused to deliver them up
on the ground that they were found on
his premises. The finder then sued the
shopkeeper, and it was held as above
stated, that against all the world but
the owner the title of the finder is per-
feet. And the finder has been held to
stand in the place of the owner, SO that
he was permitted to prevail in an action
against person who found an article
which the plaintiff had originally found
but subsequently lost. The police have
no special rights in regard to articles
lost unless those rights are conferred by
statute. Receivers of articles found are
trustees for the finder. They have no
power in the absence of special stat
ute to keep the article against the finder
any more than the finder has to retain
the article against the owner

WASHINGTON DINNER-TABLE ANEc-
DOTEs.-A veteran statesman, at re-
cent dinner, told an unpublished anec-
dote of the late Senator McDougal, of
California. Taking dinner once with
some fellow Senators in Washington,
Roman punch was served during one
of the courses of the dinner. A states
man asked Senator McDougal how he
liked the punch. "Well enough" said
McDougal, "but you have to eat al-
together too much ice to get any liquor. J"
The same statesman, who is something
of wag in quiet way, made at the
same dinner rather brilliant remark
upon the subject of music. He said
that he was not educated enough to ap-
preciate music. He believed he might
possibly know the difference between
"Old Hundred" and Yankee Doodle" !"
At the same time he remarked: 81 am
very patient man, and can bear the
music for a long time" A friend OF his
at the dinner-table, stirred by reminis-
cence of the punch anecdote, said
that he remembered once entertaining
a country cousin who never in her life
had tasted ice cream. A dish of superb
cream was served up at the close of the
dinner, and he noticed that his country
cousin touched upon it very daintily,
at the same time without any particu-
lar expression of surprise as though she
were not to be put down or impressed
with anything which city people
might offer her. Finally he asked her:
"Sally, how do you like the cream 7"
"The cream ITSELF" said she, "seems to
be very good, but it appears a little
fetched with frost"

Wur1xo 70 TAKE Ir REGULAR.

WILLING TO TAKE IT REGULAR
Rude fun ought to cost the maker
something-and it generally does. In
this case the offender gets off easier
than he had any right to expect, al
ter his inexcusable assault. Says the
Cape Ann Advertiser:
Not many months ago party OF
Boston gentlemen came to this city
and went on fishing party. Some
of them got pretty jolly, one in partlc,-
ular, who, seizing one of the cod
fish which they had caught, walked
up the wharf. He soon espied a vet
eran fisherman who was saving wood,
and under the impulse of the moment
fetched him whack across the face
with the Goldfish.
In a moment he was sobered. The
generous impulse of q noble heart
throbbcd in his bosom. He felt that
he had done mean, ungentiemanly
act, and he meant to atone for 1t then
and there.
Taking out a ten-dollar bill, he prof
fcred it to the veteran, saying:
Accept this and let it wipe out any
recollections of the cowardly blow |
struck you, as / did not mean to do it,
and am very sorry for it"
The veteran took the bill, his face
beaming with mingled astonishment
and delight, and making a bow, re-
marked:
"See here, stranger, you can wipe
me over the face all day long with a
Goldfish, at $40 lickl l don't bear
you mite of ill-will, | don't. L
rather like your style. When are you
coming again 7"
And that settled it. 1t was lucky
for the gay joker that his victim was
of thick material enough to take
money for an insult.
