end of pew, as if you did not Intend to
have any one else enter it, or as if you
were holding it for special friends. Do
not rise to let others in. but move along
and leave the pew invitingly open, so
that they will know that they are well
come. II a pew holding six has five al
ready in it, do not file out in formal
procession to let one poor scared woman
go to the farthest end but move along,
and let her sit down in the end next to
the aisle. 1t is not necessary now for
man to sit AT the end ready to rush out
and kill Indians, as possibly it was once.

"A discovery of very interesting ma
ture has recently been made in the vicin-
ty of Hale, Cornwall, Eng land. While
some railway excavations were being
made. slab was discovered having on it
Latin inscription, but considerably de-
faced by age. Mr.. John Cnombs, "A brother
of Messrs Thomas aud Fred. Coombs, of
this city, sent the slab to London, where
it was deciphered. The stone proves to
be the tomb stone of a man who died in
the year 533 consequently the slab is
over 1900 years old. The inscription,
translated, is as follows:
Here Cenui fell
asleep, who was
born in 500
Here in this
tomb he lies.
He lived 33 years.
Several of our tewnspeople are from
Hale--amopg them Messrs Fred Coombs,

A Dangerous Toy.
From THE Toy Pistol by Charles Barnard, il
St Nicholas for July.

From ''The Toy Pistol, - by Charles Barnard, in
st. Nicholas for July.
The Fourth of July is close at hand,
when the very air will crackle with the
reports of the toy pistol. tits so safe,
many ignorant persons think, because
it carries neither shot nor bullet.
As | tried it once can tell youaboutit.
First twisted one of the caps around
a'match, and set on fire When. the
flame reached the paper cap there was a
little explosion. Suddenly felt sting
ing sensation in my hand, and on looking
at it, l found several tiny black splinters
sticking in the skin pulled them out,
but felt pain for some time afterward.
Then placed a cap on the hearth and
struck it with hammer This time
was well scaled, and kept my hands as
far away as could. When it went off |
felt the same singing sensation in my
left hand, which was more than two feet
away. Ihad been struck again by fly
ing splinter This thing was getting de-
eidedly dangerous, and when | took up
the pistol to try it carefully wrapped my
right hand in my handkerchief. 1t went
off beautifully but-ah There was the
mischief The handkerchief was dotted
here and there with the black splinters
from the exploded cap.
The insane desire of the small boy to
carry pistol is one of the wonders of
the age, and the worse than folly of those
who allow him TO do so is almost incredi-
ble Of what use is it? If the pistol will
not go off, it is, as its owner would
scornfully express it, mo good" If ii
does go off, it is dangerous weapon
that has power to main and kill.
Did you ever think what it means to
kiIl-to take away life? Who shall dc
so dire aed terrible thing as that? Are
you fit to have pistol? Are you wise
enough to carry revolver? No, sir. II
is against the law in some States to carry
pistols. Why, then, should you wish a
a toy-pistol, that will shoot nothing but
the boy who holds it? If you live in the
backwoods, and have to fight the terrible
wild crow OF the ferocious chipmunk
you may learn to use a good rifle, In cities
and towns, where the most terrific wild
beasts to be seen are the cats, the boy
who carries pistol is boy without
sense-a boy whom girls despise and
brave boys call a coward

From The London World.

1t is a question whether beauty, like
goodness, must necessarily be genuine in
order to be admirable, The climax of this
theory is reached when the old lady of
eighty-five, the aged patroness of many
charlatans, is held up to admiration be-
cause-at little distance-she would
pass for thirty. Proudly her makers
APP point out how this effect is produced;
her hair is false, her skin is enamelled-
besides being frightened to prevent
wrinkles-her eyelashes are stained, her
figures is made She Is false all over.
Now, is this admirable? Would not lit
tie honest old age and ugliness be more
agreeablef Be this as it may, it is very
important. When lady has reached the
mature age of eighty-fye her appearance
troubles no one very much except her
grandchildren. But when it comes to the
lady whom you love. or might love if you
were quite certain that she was genuine,
the case is different. 1t is bad to know
that your dear Angela must sleep in cor
sets or she never, never could attain to
the fashionable waist. 1t is sad to think
of the inevitable results on her poor little
feet of those Louis Quinze heels, which
make her pretty boots look so bewitch-

ing.
Figure to yourself what it must feel
like to take your beauty sleep with
pair of pincers on your nose. That pretty
old fashioned expression has now taken
a new and dreadful meaning. Anyone
who desires to possess the Mrs. Lantry
nose has but to sleep in torment for
week or two and the great result is
obtained If the figure Of the would-be-
beauty is not as lovely as she wishes, 'the
anatomical corset-maker' will supply her
with a nocturnal squeezing apparatus
which will fine her down" by degrees
1t her stature is too low for beauty she may
remedy this by wearing what is mildly
called an appliance; it would probably
have been elassed as an instrument of
torture This appliance squeezes and
stretches all the lower part of the body,
and it's use is said not to interfere with
the comfort of ones beauty-sleep.
Once enamelled, always enamelled. The
professed beauty can afford to be yellow,
gray and uncurled" in secret. She finds
herself precipitated on the downward path.
1t is Just as well, having once begun to
attend to the matter to perfect her beauty.
Why not make use of the marvels of
modern inventiveness-remodel her ears,
her nose aud her finger-tips? 1t is diff
cult TO say why she should not carry her
theory out to the full.

ENDING HIS TROUBLES.
Anthony Blair, of Keithsburg, Shoots
His Wife and Kills Himself.

A terrible tragedy occurred at Keiths-
burgh. yesterday, the particulars of
which reached this city this forenoon. 1t
appears that Anthony Blair, of that town.
suspected his wife of being unfaithful 10
her marriage VOWS. He suspected Viii
liam Newcomb, barber of the town, of
being the cause of all the trouble. The
injured husband laid in wait for New
comb for several hours, but be did not
make bis appearance. Failing in getting
revenge on Newcomb, he went home and
shot his wife, and then shot himself
through the heart He died instantly,
but his wife was living at last accounts,
and was expected to recover. Keiths,
burg is all tore up over the affair. New
comb, it is said has disappeared.
