TIE IMPROVEMENTS


Notwithstanding that the Assembly will
soon be over, and that the vacation season
is rapidly passing, the improvements still
continue, and the hammers OF the c,,rpen.
ters are everywhere heard. A number Of
excellent cOltages are now being hurried
to completion and the erection OF others is
contemplated. DR.. Musden said the other
night in his opening address that less than
IL year ago he rode through these woods
con his high horse, with his feet drawn up
MS il afraid Of attlesnakes," but now the
snakes IRE gone, the brush is cleared away
and the Doctor lives comfortably in one Of
the most luxurious cottages OH the ground.
Time and money have certainly worked
wonders here already and still better re.
suits in the future will be- accomplished.
An auditorium,:two stores, depot, two
hotels, 4 livery stable, restaurant and thirty
cottages or more are splendid showing

A MOUNTAIN LAKE AUDIENCE.


The people here come principally from
Baltimore and Wheeling, and consist
largely Of ministers and their families. The
truusient travel comes mostly from Deer
Park and Oakland. There is not much
style displayed, paths through the woods
being not especially adapted for liue shoes
and silk dresses, and devotional obscrr.
nnces being somewhat ut war with the
fripperts Of modern fashion. "Neat but
not gau ly," seems to express the average
appearance OF the young ladies' dress,
while unpublished boots nrc rs common as
huckleberries in Autumn.
Sometime however, guests from the
adjoining resorts drive over to attend the
meetings, and then there is display of
military which sets US all in flutter.
l have seen minister gazing ut IL cart
wheel hut from Oakland in speechless
wonder and | have seen another trying TO
unrayel the mysteries Of i costume from
Deer Park, with the same earnestness with
which he would undertake the solution OF
Il mathematical formula. Ladies' com.
fortably dressed, and not personiii.d
fashion plates arc the rule ut Mountain
Lake, and consequently there is little fir
tation or merry making. Gentlemen can
get shaved and have their boots blackened
between the hours OF nine and five, fortwo
professional coored gentlemen come to
the grounds daily from Oakland. We
have Il livery stable, IN ice cream stand,
and place to get lemonade for five cents,
with Il ginger snap and few grains OF
coffee thrown in.

4 New Composing Stick.

A special from Indianapolis to the Ss. Louis Post Dispatch, dated July 20, gives the following information regarding an invention that will prove of great utility to printers:
 Mir. c. L. Devine, an old printer, and for several years past mcchanl- cal superintendent of the Journal office, has invented an extension composing stick, which, by means of a double bottom and end extension, permits the capacity of the stuck to be enlarged so as to give room for the largest "tSkc," and thus avoid the necessity of emptying or using two sticks. It is neat and but q tri- lie heavier than an ordinary stick, but, extended, will hold l,200 ems nonpareil or 500 ems minion. Ap- plication for a patent has been made, and as soon as possible the stick will be manufactured and placed on the market. Experienced compositors who have seen the model are cnthu- siastic in their praise of 1t.

Alexander H. Stephens has been nominated for governor of Georgia, almost unanimously. Thus does this marvel of the paihologist and wonder of the psychologist continue to command the admiration and homage of his people A meagre little group of bones, tied hard with in scanty skin, by tendons seeming long weary of their task, and drop ped in an invalid chair with head half covered by dropping felt hat, it seems a powerless, or at least no specimen of humanity at all. What is thatg' said one of the Arkansas press delegates, as he saw it in front of the speakers desk. That is Al exander H. Stephens. Now we re- alize that it was 50,000 square miles and l, ,539, ,04S population, or, in other words, the whole state of Georgia. = Pine Bluff Commercial.

Origin of the Word Hoosier.

The orlgin of the word "Hoosier" is now being discussed at length by the Indiana papers, but Dr. Aaron Wood, the oldest Methodist clergy man in that State, appears to have settled it as follows: "A learned for elgner by the name of Leminouski, formerly soldier under Napoleon, during the years intervening between 1922 and 1880, lectured extensively on the wars of Europe to the pioneers of this State. In his discourses the valor of the hussars was conspicuous, but his accent was not English, and he pronounced the body hoosiers. During the excavation of the canal at the falls of the Ohio, through Kentucky, young man from Wash ington county, Ind, on the grounds one day, fought and whipped three kentuckians. Highly elated at the conclusion, amid a torrent of back woods profanity, he exclaimed: Pm hoosier' from Leminouski's pro- nunciation of hussar. From that day to the present the term has been applied to all citizens of Indiana. " Chicago Inter Ocean.

Small Change in Mexico.
Philadelphia Press.


 In one 0t the small towns l bought some lines and gave the girl Sl in payment, By way of change she gave me forty-nine pieces of soap, the size of g water cracker I look . ed at her in astonlshment, and she returned my look with equal sur prise, when q police officer who wit messed the incident hastened to in form me that soap was the legal tender in many portions of the coun try for small sums, l examined my change and found that each cake was stamped with the name of a town, and of manufacture author ized by the government. The cakes of soap were worth one and a half cents each.
 Afterward ln my travels I ire quently received similar changeI Many of the cakes showed signs of having been in the washtub; but that, l discovered was not at all un- common. Provided the stamp was not obliterated, the soap did not lose any value as currency. Occasionally a man would borrow a cake of q friend, wash his hands and return it with thanks. l made use of mine more than once in my bath and sub sequently spent them.

GaSuIsm in Finance,
San Francisco Bulletin.

Arithmetic is terribly puzzling sometimes, and when one's interest is involved in the matter it IS almost impossible to add up column of figures correctly. A gentleman who lives by his wits, and it must be confessed gets very fair living, when in the country last summer wanted to borrow some money of a rlain, good-natured farmer. Il want to borrow S6," he said. The farmer only had S3, and so the man of wit said Well, l wish you would owe me the other S3 and we'll settle up in few days" When the day of settlement came the farmer was be- logged, bepuzzled and somewhat dis grCntled by this conversation. The farmer said: You owe me $3, don't you?" Certainly I do," was the re- ply. "WeIl, will you pay me?" "Well, my dear follow, I think our account is about square, I wanted 10 borrow SG, you remember. You let me have three, and said you'd owe me the othe- $3. Now, then, you haven't pald that S3, and consequent ly still owe it to me. owe you $3, and if you will give me the S3 you owe me will instantly pay you the S3 l owe you. Nothing could be fairer than that, l think"

WANTED LOVE.
The Result of a Strange Inter-
 view with a Preacher.
Arkansas 'l'rnYeler.

AIhIuSAe LFdfciti.
 "Is this the Rev. MT. Mulkittle, said kind of out-of season man, entering the library of q wcll-known Little Rock minister.
 "Yes, sir, have seat"
 T have called to transact a piece of business, which to the world may seem rediculous, sir, but which viewed from spiritual eminence is of importance"
 ''N hat is it." asked the minister. regarding the visitor with peculiar interest.
 T want you to love mel"
 Love yon?" gasped the good man, regarding the petitioner and inward ly vowiRg that he had never before net 8 more repulsive looking human being.
 "Yes, sir, l want you to love me, !" and he sat down ahd closed hls eyes as though he intended to await the announcement of the decision. "The command is to love one another. confess that 1 love you," and open ing his red eyes he leered at the preacher.
 Well, sir" said the minister, your demand after all is simple. I sup pose that you have been lost for many years, and have just tasted grace and that you especially want the love of ministers. Yes I love you"
 Thank you. Now, when we love any one, we are willing to help him. Gimme dollar, sir, gimme a dollar. Out of the love you bear me, gimme the dollar"
 The minister arose, took down a box and handed the visitor dollar. Goodbye, l hope you will always love me" and the lover was gone.
 "How did you make lt?' said a rough looking man, when the lover reached a street corner not far away.
 Fine. Never but one preacher that got away with me, and he was the old Baptist that insisted upon ducking me in the river before he could love me. Preachers like some think odd. The old style way of striking 'em is repealed"
 tLet me see the money"
 Here she is; new dollar. Let's go and take something.n
 "I guess not. The thing is coun- terfelt." It was vile imitation of the dollar of the dads, and the two thieves looked at each other in si- lcnce. The minister poked his head over the fence and laughed like a horse. The dollar had come to him in a contributions box.

Great Rivers.

The Amazon is the greatest vol tune of water flowing through any country of the world; but it is but 5000 miles long. The Mississippi from Lake ltaska to its junction with the Missouri is 261G miles long; from that point to the Gulf is I2S6 miles, total of 1902 miles; the Mis-. souri runs 290S miles to join the Mississippi, and having had given to it the length to the sea, is 4l94 miles long. To the sacred river, the Nile, must be given the credit of running through the greatest stretch of country. The American Ency- clopedia of 1875, from which the previously quoted figures are taken, says: '1t IS navigable as far as the district of Fazogle, about 1900 miles from the Mediterranean. Its ap- proXimate length throughout all it's windings from the limit of steam navigation above Gondokoro is 5000 miles. The additional length to Lake Albert N'Yanza, can scarcely be less than 200 miles, and conse quently the river trayerses q distance of about 4700 miles, or j06 more than the Missouri and lower Missis- sippi."

Printing has been introduced into the public school of San Jose, Cal, as regular study. If it should be- come study all over the country, printers would be as thick as three in Q bed, and not one in 8 hundred of them could tell an italic space from pica shooting stick. There is such thing as having too much of one kind of pie.-Peek's Sun.
