Boscobel Dial, and Joseph Cover, ESQ.,,
formerly reporter for the court for the
court for the fifth judicial circuit, and
very well and favorably known to the
people of Richland county, will then
succeed Mr.. Edward Pollock. Both
gentlemen are widely known and uni
yersally popular. They possess the
ability, energy and tact to restore The
HERALD TO its old-time glory and power,
under the senior Cover, which is a com
pliment that may DC rarely uttered.
Having said so much the wish that
they may be happy and prosperous
would seem to be uncalled for, but we
prefer TO express such desire in terms.
The new management of THE HERALD
IS sure to be in healthier accord with
the sentiments and wishes of the gallant
Republicans of Grant county. Its ut
terances may therefore be accepted as
expressive of their views, and its teach
lngs WILDE more readily adopted.

The Indian Who Did It.

A dealer in hardware on Jefferson
avenue, says the Detroit Free Press,
has had straw cutter standing on the
walk in front of his store for some days
past to catch the public eye, and yes
terday forenoon two boys discovered it
and had considerable sport feeding
papers under the knife. They were
still at work, one at the wheel and the
other feeding all the old papers he could
find, when along came three Canada
Indians with something less than
thousand baskets hitched to them. They
were evidently father, mother and
son, and when they saw the straw-cut-
ter at work they came to dead halt
and exhibited great curiosity to know
how the old thing chewed up papers in
that manner. After some conversation
between them the Indian put down his
basket and made o closer inspection.
The boys fell back to give him fair
show, and as he picked up long strip
of paper the squaw began turning the
wheel in about 4-6 time"
The machinery worked beautiful, and
a grin of quiet delight had just COM
menced TO spread over the red mans
face when the end of the paper was
reached and the knife sliced off the
end of his forefinger. There was just
one howl, accompanied by jump three
feet high. When the Indian landed he
was as silent as the grave and as
straight as a bean pole. He looked
from his finger to the straw-cutter and
back, took in the general laugh from
the sidewalk without giving himself
away, and with the dignity of Sultan
c walked over to his baskets, resumed
his load, and marched off with his
wounded hand in his pocket and his
nose set on a Decline for home.

A Russian Drink.

Koosmos, or ..kumyss, the Russian
drink, which has been furnished the
President, is made Of milk, sugar and
yeast In Russia mares milk is used,
but here they take that of a cow. 1t
is put up in bottles with patent stop
pers, and so highly efferyescent is it,
that the only way to open a bottle with
out losing the greater quantity of its
contents, is to turn it head downward
in a pitcher, close the top of the pitch
er with o cloth, and then, inserting the
hand, remove the clasp from the cork
as gently as possible. Its nutritiye
value is very great, and it is not now
widely known on account of its ex-
pense, as generally sold. After the
sugar and yeast-an ounce of sugar
and piece of compressed yeast about
the size of a pea to each quart OF milk
has been added, the fluid is allowed
to stand in the bottles uncorked (the
bottles not quite full until fermentation
has taken place, which will be the ease
in eighteen to twenty-four hours under
favorable conditions. The bottles are
then eorked and placed in cool place
for a week or two, when the prodnct Ii
ready. The fermentation develops q
small quantity of alcohol. but the Pc
cuiiarity OF the new milk Is that the
casein, instead of being coaguiated IN
large Jumps, more or less difficult TO dl-
gest, is separated in very finely Oh
yided condition, so that it can be
realty assimilased by the weakest

Pacific Islands Folklore.

When in the Tonga-tabu group was
amused by curious custom the natives
there have of saying, when one sneezed.
.Ofa,n which means love. I asked the
reason for this, and was told that when
a man sneezed he was thinking of his
wife, and that when a woman did SO
she was thinking of her husband; SO
that they consider it only a polite little
attention to say ''Ofa'' to one at those
times. Here in Samoa / find very
different phrase in vogue on similar oc-
casions. and, on account of its likeness
in meaning to one still used in England.
of much greater interest. Here when
one sneezes, they say. ''Soefua, whose
meaning is, as near as possible, God
bless you." It is strange that in two
countries SO far apart as England and
Samoa there should be custom SO very
much alike. Notes and Queries.
