SINCE the late engagement of Salvlni in
Boston a society craze has broken out to
learn Italian. Its victims will in time no
doubt succeed in becoming as unfamiliar
with the language as the great tragedian Is
with English.

SOME Of the ministers in the North are
complaining that the attractive Sunday
editions Of the newspapers keep people
from the church. In this they admit that
the newspapers are more interesting than
they are. The ministers must wake up;
they will never have the numerous consttu.

A CHEERFUL table is going the rounds to
show how much cheaper sugar, lard, coffee,
flour, rice and various other articles of food
are now, to what they were in 1870. 1t is
not accompanied by comparative table,
showing the difference between that time
and this in the purchasing power Of the
people. Cheap food is one thing, good
times another.

LEAGUE LAwLEssNEss AGAIN.

Last Friday, April 10th, while Messrs
Samp and Morrison were blowing Oh
section 20, in Salem township; rented
of Judge Knox, leaguers, eight
men (?), drove their teams on the en-.
closed land and by driving across in
front of Messrs. Samp and Morrison,
prevented them from working.
Men, did 1 say? No, they are not
men. Their deeds show they have not
a particle of manhood in them. Out
laws is the proper name. Well, the
next day those outlaws returned and
commenced blowing. 1t is high time
this vandalism was stopped, and the
stigma of lawlessness removed from
Allen county, and we hope sincerely
that Judge Knox will do all in his
power to have the guilty parties brought
to justice, the more SO because there
is an injunction or restraining order
on that place, forbidding any one ex-
cept the owner or his tenants working
or entering upon the land. FACTS.

AN article of very great interest to
every farmer is promised for the May
number of Harper's Magazine, on
Jersey Cattle in America" by Hark
Comstock. Portraits are given from
direct photographs of a number of the
most notable butter-producing cows of
this stock, one of which, "Alphea,"
owned by Col. r. NJ. Hoe, produced
under enforced tests over twenty-nine
pounds of butter a week; while her
granddaughter, "Eurotas," owned by
Mr.. A. B. Darling, produced 77S pounds
of butter in eleven months and five
days. The writer, who is one of the
best authorities on this subject, gives
an interesting sketch of the means Ia
ken in the Channel Islands to keep the
breed pure, the laws having for hun
dred years back excluded all foreign
cattle except such as were imported
for meat, which had to be slaughtered
at the port of arrival; and his remarks
ON the present state of the stock and
its prices in this country are of prac-
tical value.

ic. After several bottles had BEEN
taken and no visible results to be seen
I began to despair, but continued the
medicine. at last signs of improve
ment became apparent, and from that
date to the present there has been con-
slant improvement in both body and
mind. He is now about fourteen years
old, and is one of the brightest boys I
have ever known. 1 honestly believe
that he will ultimately outgrow the
effects of this loathsome disease under
the influence of Swift's Specific.

zinc are now SO large that it has be.
come necessary either to go 10 press al
an earlier date or to postpone the day
of issue. The latter alternative has
been accepted. The April number, the
edition of which was 225,O00 was de-
layed until the 25th of March. The
May number-edition $50, 000-will be
issued on the lst day of May, thus in
augurating with the first number OF
the thirteenth volumn, a change which
has long been considered desirable by
the publishers, and which it is believ-
ed will be heartily commended by the
public. Future numbers of the Cen
tury Magazine will be issued OH the
first day of the month of which each
bears date.

MALARIAL POISON.

The drouth i'm southwest Georgia
last spring dried up the wells, and we
were compelled to use water from the
creek on the plantation. The result
was that all were troubled with chills
and fever. carried with me several
bottles of Swift's Specific, and as long
as took it l had perfect health. AS
soon as L ceased taking it, ], like the
rest, was afflicted with chills. When
1 resumed its use, I was all right again.
We have used it in our family as an
antidote for malaria poison for two or
three years, and have never known 1t
to fail in single instance.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

We spent few very pleasant mo-
ments last Saturday afternoon at the
meeting of the above named assocla-
ton. Although only few teachers
were present the programme as pub
lished in the papers was pretty fully
carried out. After sort of "experi-
ence meeting" OH the general topic of
government of schools, well prepar-
ed paper on "How to make Political
Geography Interesting" was read By
Mr.. E. 7. Barber. The paper contain
ed good many radical ideas which
called forth an animated discussion.
This was followed by paper on "The
Value of Linguistic Studies" by Miss
Mamie r. Pugh, which was good
throughout, in thought and express
sion and was listened to with the clos
est attention. Mr.. Elmer Remsburg
followed with carefully prepared pa
per, "The Teachers Influence and Au-
thority Outside of School Hours" The
subject was discussed from all points
of view showing the writer's keen APP
probation Of the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of the teacher.
We were obliged to take our depart
ure at this stage of the proceedings, so
cannot give an account of the further
exercises. We must confess, however,
to some surprise that there was not a
greater number of teachers i'm attend
ance. Even TO one who is not engag-
ed in school work, the papers and dis
cussions were very interesting, and it
would seem that every teacher in the
county who can possibly do SO, would
make it not only his duty but his de-
light to attend the meetings of this
association. 1t is hardly possible that
he would go away from single meet
ing without some new idea, and with
out better insight into his work.

IT is quite commonly taken for
granted that story which appears as
a serial in country newspaper, is
cheap, trashy and of no merit whatev.
er. This is frequently the case, but il
sometimes happens otherwise. Hugh

lished In the REGISTER, has received
the unqualified endorsement of the
best literary critics in England and

HIS LOSS WAS HER GAIN

"Well, madam" said fashionable
physician to wealthy lady patient,
"if you don't like my prescriptions, per
haps you had better try Parker's Ton
ic, or some other quack stuff" "You
don't mean it, DOCTOR" she answered,
"but your advice may be good for all
that. Sometimes what yeu call quack
stuff is the best and most scientific
medicine, after ALL" She got a bottle
of Parker's Tonic and it cured her of
neuralgia arising from disordered
stomach and nerves. She told her
friends and now they all keep doctor
at home i'm the form of Parker's Tonic.
