JEFFERSON.

John Smith has been the Janitor of
the Court House ever since the building
has been occupied. He has attended to
the duties faithfully and has kept every
thing neat and clean. The County
Board in electing HIM to that office
put the right man in the right place.
When first elected his salary was fixed
at $400 year. 1t has been gradually
Increased, till this year it was fixed at
5000. just what it is worth.
1t is gently whispered that former
member of the Banner force will enter
the field of conjugal felicity this month.
The following are the bids for building
the bridge across Crawfish river: Henry
Hammes, 81, 1856; Carl Goehring, $l545,
j. S. Rottman, $1585; Thomas P. JOS
lin, $20O4; Jefferson; T. P. Proctor,
$1787; T. w. Nichols, $1678; Fort At
kinson. Henry Hammes being the low
est bidder was awarded the contract

Alabama is looming up as coal-pro-
ducing state. In 1876 it sent l, 800 tons
of coal into the market Now it is &c.
900 tons, and Mobile used to pay $14 a

The Alabama fields are destined TO sup

THE USE OF ToBACCo.-A comparison
showing the relative extent to which
various nations are addicted to the use
of tobacco gives proportion as follows
For England, France-and Russia, 5; for
Italy, z; for Cuba, IL; for Austria, II;
for Germany and North America, Is: for
Belgium, "a, and for Holland, 28.
Mexico, however, even surpasses Hol-
land, fer there every one is a smoker.
The school children who have done best
in their studies are rewarded by being al.
lowed to smokea cigar as they stand or sit
at their lessons. The schoolmaster him
self is seldom without a cigar in his
mouth. In the law courts all persons
enjoy their tobacco freely, and even the
accused in criminal trial is not denied
the indulgence.
United States Senator James F.
Wilson, of Iowa, is Scotchman, and his
features represent his nationality. Rough,
rosy cheeks, red, course beard, and light,
honest blue eyes, He looks very much
like farmer, and his soft, white short
bushy hair stands straight up on his
long head. He was born in the same
part Of Scotland which produced Robert
Burns, and came to America when a
boy of 16 He settled in Iowa, and be-
gan as a farmer, but during the earlier
years Of Grants administration was sent
to the Iowa Legislature and became
Speaker of the House. In the meantime
he had studied law, and in 1873 went to

tice, and soon took rank as the leading
lawyer of the state.

The ORIGIN OF THE PoTATo.-The
potato, originally a South American
plant, was introduced to Virginia by Sir
John Harvey in 1919, though it was un-
known in some counties of England $50
years later. IN Pennsylvania potatoes
are mentioned very soon yafter the ad-
vent of the Quakers: they were not
among the New YORK products in 1895,
but in l775 we are told of II, 900 bushels
grown on one sixteen-acre patch in this
province. Potatoes were served, perhaps
as an exotic rarity, at a Harvard install
lation dinner, in 1907; but the plant was
only brought into culture in New Eng
land at the arrival of the Presbyterian
immigrants from Ireland in 1718. Five
bushels were accounted a large crop of
potatoes for Connecticut farmer; for it
was held that, if man ate them every
day, he could not live beyond seven
years.

DIPHTHERIA PROPAGATED BY
CHICKENS.

It has been known for some time that
pheasants, pigeons, turkeys, domestic
fowl and the like were liable to be at
tackled by diphtheria. The V elmer AL
gemeine MediciniscIe Zeitung informs
US that Professor Gerhardt, of Wurz-
burg, has carried out series of observa-
tons for the purpose of determining
whether the disease may be communi-
Gated by this means, and has come to an
affirmative conclusion. In September,
1881, 10000 fowls were sent from the
neighborhood ofs.Verona to Nesselhausen,
in Baden, where there IS great fowl
rearing establishment Some of them
must have been affected with diptheria
before they started, and in the end 400
fowls died of it. In the summer of last
year 1000 chickens were hatched from
eggs collected from different places. Six
weeks after their birth diptheritis mani
tested itself among the young chickens,
and so badly that in short time they
all died. Five cats that were kept in
the establishment also became i'll of the
same malady and died. A parrot that
hung In the cage la the house was also
attacked, but recovered.
Last November an Italian hen, which
had been "painted" about the jaws with
carbolic acid by the keeper, bit the mans
wrist and foot. Presently he became i'll
with a smart fever, considerable swelling
at the wounded parts, and all the symp-
toms ofItrumatic sdiphtheritis. His re-
covery was very tedious. This was not
the only case of the transmission of the
disease to men. Two-thirds of all the
laboring persons employed about the
establishment became Ill with ordinary
diphtheritis, and one man conveyed the
infection to his three children. 1t is
worth noting that during all this time
no other diphtheric cases occurred at
Nesselhausen or in the neighborhood.
The inference seems obvious that all
these cases originated with the sick
fowls.-London Truth.

CLERKS SAASHIN G WINDOWS.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-About $50
o'clock last evening a procession num-
bering thirty well-dressed men, headed
by fifer, drummer and two men carrying
transparencies, marched down Even
stree, to Broadway, Williamsburg. On
two sides of each transparency were the
words "Early-closing," and on one side
of the words ''All respectable dry goods
stores close at Z p. NJ" They paraded
down the street till they reached Rhein-
hardt, where they halted. Mr.. Rhein-
hardt and his assistants had c.osed all
except the shoe department, where he
and few statesmen were still waiting on
customers. A cry was raised, "Go it!"
aud without any notice whatever, the
tue processionists at once commenced an
assault on the large plate glass windows
of the various departments, FIVE in num-
Der, and in very few moments. reduced
them to fragments. Bottles and other
articles were then hurled IN and destroy
ed large quantity of fancy goods, which
were arranged in the windows. The
work of destruction did not occupy more
than two minutes. The mischief having
been accomplished, the party at once
scattered and disappeared. The store
front is about 200 feet long containing
twenty large plate glass single panes,
fourteen of which are about by 5 feet
in size. Five of the latter have been
shattered. The damage to the glass is
estimated at 5000 and that to goods at
5000. The glass is insured. Henry
Westendorf, president of the Early
closing association, and five members
were arraigned to-day and held in $500
bail each.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In 1875, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used in the manu-
facture of the james Boss Gold Watch Case.
Now over fUe hundred are employed, and the
number is constantly increasing. Therea-
son of this increase is this: In the James
Boss Gold Watch Case all the metal in sight
and subject to wear is solid gold, while the re-
mainder, which only lends strength to the
case Is of stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold IS needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and
elasticity are needed, a combination pro-
ducing watch case Better than solid gold
and at oNE-HALF the cost. ~
Over 100000 of these cases K K
have been sold, and every jeweler in the
country can testify to their quality and
merit.
