It Cured Him.

would like to tell you of an Incl
dent of Observation-Disclosures that cured a
schoolmaster entirely of this often
comical mental defect. The bell was
ringing for school, and the masters
wife wanted q pail of water and a hod
of coal. To save time, the master
strove to get both the water and the
coal at the anne time. He drew the
water from an old-fashioned well, and,
getting the hod filled with coal. entered
the house with his hands full. He
walked up to the sink and placed the
bod of coal where the water pail was
usually kept, and. taking the pail OF
water into the sitting room, poured it
into the stove. The Kissing steam
blew open the stove door, issued fro m
the coal chamber and every seam in
the stove, scorched the master, put out
the fire, and filled the house with
steam.
Amid it all issued the agonized shout
of the schoolmaster: BLAST my eyes!
I've made another mistaken He never
made another. In the week that he
was done up in linen b~andages and
goose grease his mind as we'll as his
body was restored to a healthy con
dition.- NorWich Bulletin.

born in Besancon Feb. 2G, 1So2a. Being the son
of all officer whose military duties called Inn
out of France, he was carried in childhood TO
Elba, Corsica, Switzerland and Italy, and in
1893 to Paris At the age of twenty he pub
lished his first volumn of codes and Ballads"
which created a sensation. Two novels, Han

General Logan Elected Senator.

Springfield, Ill, dispatch:-In joint session
of the legislature last Tuesday the 10Th inst,
Gen. John A. Logan was elected United States
senator. Fifty-one senator's were present and
1873 representatives. When the vote was
taken u dead silence prevailed. Dennis re-
fused to vote. The senators all voted, giving
twenty-six votes. Ruger's vote WAS received
with cheers. When Sittig was called, in a
long speech, explaining his situation. lie voted
for Logan under protest. The vote was received
with wild cheering. This gave n vote of 1903
for Logan. On the call of absentees the Demo-
Gratis voted solldly for Judge Lambert Tree.
After roll call Baker, McNary, McAliney,
Caldwell, Quinn and Crofts changed their votes
to Charles B. FarweIl (Rep) Barry (Dem.)
changed his vote to John A. Logan and the
widest confusion prevailed. This insured his
election. The roll call was proceeded with
after q time. The Democrats attempting to
elect Farwell, hoping to get some Republican
votes, Barry withdrew his vote from Logan, but
stated he would not allow any other Republican
but Logan to be elected. No Republican sup
port went to Farwell, andSpeaker Haines final
ly announced the vote declaring Logan elected.
General Logan received congratulations from
all parts of the country. Ex-Secretary Blaine,
who was one of the first in Washington to re-
ceive the gratifying intelligence, Immediately
sent Gen. Logan the following congratulatory
dispatch. .Acceptmymost cordial congratula-
tions. The contes was unprecedented and your
victory is memorable"

Malmeshury,s Sucressful RnoR

Nobody, in all probability. is more
astonished than Lord Mnlmcsbury
himself at the unexpected pecuniary
success of his memoir. The book was
originally set up in type at his own ex-
pense, and six months ago he would
gladly have sold the venture outright
for ESQ. AS it is, the net profits al
ready exceed $4,000; the first Frenc
edition is nearly exhausted, and even
Mr.. Tanchnitz has paid handsomely
for the right of reproduction. The
author seems to have dictated the whole
work to the shorthand writer, and this
accounts for the curious errors in the
spelling of proper names which crept
into the earlier editions. Lord Malmes-
bury will probably shortly issue an
additional volume, bringing his nara
tive down to the death Of Lord Beacons-
field; and in the interests of posterity
and contemporary history-making he
still writes up his diary every day
with praiseworthy dillgence.-London

Mrs. Palmer, wife of ex-Gov. John N. Pal

A New Idea embraced in Ely's Cream Balm.
Catarrh is cured by cleansing and healing, not
is easily applied with the finger. ITS effect is
magical and a thorough treatment will cure the
worst cases. Price SO cents. At druggista 90
cents by mail. Ely Bros, oswego, NY.
Ihaye been afflicted with catarrh for 90
years. 1t had become chronic, and there was
a constant dropping Of mucous matter from
the roof of my mouth. 1t extended to my
throat, causing hoarseness and great difficulty
in speaking, indeed for years / was not able to
speak more than thirty minutes, and often this
with great difficulty. I also, to a great extent,
lost the sense of hearing in the left ear, and OF
taste. By the use of Ely's Cream Balm / have
received more relief than from all other reme-
dies beside. All dropping of mucous has
ceased and my voice and hearing are greatly
improved-Jas. w. Davidson, Attorney atLaw,

At Roubaix, Department du Nord. in

At Roubaix, Department du Nord, in
France, a menagerie was recently de-
stroyed by fire, in which a number of
the animals were roasted. Exasper-
ated at what they believed to be the
apathy of the police in preventing the
spread of the flames, the infurated citi-
zens forced the miserable officers to eat
parts of the cooked animals. There
could be no worse tortureto q French
man than to offend his stomach in such
a barbarous manner, and zone but a
Frenchman would ever think of infict-
hight. The result has exceeded the
most diabolical desires of the perpetra-
tors. for the policemen fell i'll Of a dis
ease said to strongly resemble cholera,
and it has since become epidemic. The
whole story sounds more like Jules
Verne than sober fact, but coming by
cable it has at least the ear marks Of
authenticity.

Srom the Cincinnati Commercial.
Penideh, where the first Russo
Afghan battle was fought, is between
sixty and seventy miles south of the old
Russian boundary, and about fifty miles
north of the line now claimed by the
Russians, but disputed by the Afghans
and English. 1t is, in fact, very near
the center of the disputed territory,
which extends from north to south
about ITO miles, and from east to west
about 100 miles on its southern side, and
$50 on it's northern. 1t is not a large
area, but is well watered by the Kushk
and the Murghab rivers, which unite a
little north of Penjdeh. and by the Herr
Rud, which bounds the territory on it's
western side, defining the Persian
frontier.
