PARTISAN WARFARE.

Certain nice people allow their calm
spirits to be rutiled by the hard hits which
partisans bestow upon each other in po-
litcal campaign Why they should be
worried by such state of things it would
be hard to say. Here are two great armies
of men in Ohio striving for possession Of
the commonwealth, and both are earnest
and determined. Why, then, should they
indulge in boys play or spend their efforts
in passing the compliments of the sea-
son and in the mutual exchange and dis
tribution of taffy2 Especially is this ques-
ton proper and timely when it is apparent
that the decision of great principles is in
volved in the conflict. For we have the cor.
rupt Cosl.Oil Bourbon Democrats arrayed
on one side--in favor oftres whisky, promot
ing their purposes by corrupt methods
and opposing by all means in their power
true civil service reform, and, on the Other
side, the Republicans, who have restricted
and regulated, and taxed, and reduced
the liquor traffic TO the best of their abil
ity, and gave the people and opportunity
to wipe 1t out altogether, the larger portion
of the party themselves voting for absolute
prohibition-and yet here comes third
party, pretending to be anxious and de-
termined to prohibit the liquor traffic
who fight the Republicans with all ven
gence and do what they can, in round-a
bout way, to remove all restrictions
and hindrances from the traffic
And these good people must b'
allowed to fight the Republicans, anC
abuse them, and misconstrue and misrep
resent their motives, and impeach thei,
sincerity, honesty and integrity, withou
stint, and without protest. That is tt
say, our nice people think that it is quite
proper tor the Prohibitionists to denounc,
and defame Republicans, as they did las
year, in the Blaine campaign, and as the,

proper for the Republicans to return the

The Prince of Wales should act with

his mother. That lady appears to have q
good heart and level head, and to know
what to say, when to say it and how to say
it, in time of great excitement and per.
plexity. The smallest and most unwise
thing the Prince ever did, was to order the
proprietor OF the Pail Mall Gazette to STOP

Scotch "Spare-Rib Dinners"

In Scotland after the slaughter OF
the mart (bullock) at Martinmas, 2
well-to-do farmer used to give
"spare-rib dinner" to his neighbors
served in the spence, or best room
At other times, dinner was served foI
the whole household, gudoman, guide
wife, the children. maid servants. and
farm -laborers, known as binds. But
on the occasion of the spare-rib dinner
the farmer and his wife abandoned the
society of their servants, and dined
with their guests. Preparations foI
cooking began at early morn, and eve
rything was in profus;on. Sacks OF
bread, heaps of vegetables, piles Of
chickens, loins Of mutton, loads OF
pork, and a prodigious haggis flanked
and faced the principal dish, roast ribs
Of beef.
The guests arrived little before
one o'clock, at which hour the dinner
was served by the maidens, who placed
the meats and vegetables all on the ia.
bic, and then stood back and smiled
When the guests were seated, the mis-,
tress stood at her husbands right
hand, whence she directed the guide
man and the maidens. AS the first
course was being served, she exhorted
the guests to "stick weel to the skink,

Noses and Ears.

With the astrologers large nose
was always sign of much character
Of some kind, but what was determined
by other characteristic marks. A Ro-
man nose was sign Of a courageous
temper and disposition to face and
overcome difficulties, while a more
strongly aquiline nose was an indica-
tion of rapacity; the idea being evident
ly borrowed from the similarity of this
description of beak to that of the eagle
the most rapacious of birds. The
snub-nose showed little character but
much temper, while the Greek nose,
even straight and regular, was sign
of the temperament of the owner.
Large nostrils indicated good lungs
health and long life. while swelling
nostrils showed warlike spirit and
fire. A very sharp nose was consid-
cred an indication of a busybody,
while a bluntness at the end of this
member was an outward sign of the
possessor's mental lack of acuteness.
Large ears were always bad, the SINH
larity between their owner and the
donkey being supposed to extend fur
thee than the ears, while small ears
were always good. The lobe of the
ear passing insensibly into the cheek
was sure sign of thief and liar,
while an exceedingly sharp division
between the two indicated honesty
and candor. Thick ears meant thick
brains, while thin, delicate ears de-
clared their possessor to be man Of
refined intelligence.

Monkeys at Worship.

A few days ago when Rev. DIR
Chamberlain, brother of Secretary
Chamberlain, of the Board Of Agricul.
ture, was visiting in this city, lie told
many interesting anecdotes of his mis-,
sionary life in India. Among them
was the following:
DR.. Chamberlain and Mr.. Scudder
were on tour of a certain portion Of
India, preaching at the small villages
through which they passed. They
would attract the attention of the ma
tives by singing hymn, and then
would talk to them, generally using
some simple theme from the Scrip
lures. One day when they had stopped
in large village. they had collected
the people about them. In the real
was sacred grove, the branches o.
the trees hanging down over the huts
that stood in the background. The
Scripture lesson had been finished,
the hymn sung, and Mr.. Scudder wa:
devoutly praying. when suddenly the
boughs Of the grove began to rustic
and troop of monkeys appeared. Nc
one saw them except DR.. Chamber
lain. Old monkeys and young gray.
whiskered and bald-headed, mother
with their baby monklings, all de
scended and seated themselves in {
semicircle. All paid the strictest at
tentioD to the prayer. Should any
mischievons youngster begin his mon
keyshines. one of the dignitied old mer
monkeys would twist his ear until the
little one would cease his pranks; and
if one of the babies began to snivel, /,
few maternal pats quieted him.
DR.. Chamberlain could scarcely re
strain himself at the comieal sight
and it was a great relief to him wheu
the assembly broke up. AS the people
arose to go, so did the monkeys, and
they silently disappeared in the
branches, evidently much Impressed
with the service.-Ohio State Journal

burst on Aileen's devoted head.

San Francisco, it is believed, is the
only city in the United States in which
the exchange of Mexican dollars is ex-
tensively conducted. and is one of the
only two cities in the world where the
business is largely transacted the
other being London. The Mexican
dollar is an ugly ill-stamped, badly
milled silver disk of Al grains, but it
has been accepted as the standard coin
of China for nearly thirty years and
has steadily grown in use and favor,
Notwithstanding the amusing episode
of the trade dollar, with its 420 grains

The Smallest Dog in the World.

1hc eHidiicSt LUZ III tHo uOTlus
Nearly two hundred different kinds
of dogs! Think of it And yet this
is not difficult to believe; for, we have
water dogs, and watch dogs, and slssep
dogs, and fighting dogs and pet dogs,
aud sledge dogs, and carriage dogs;
thick dogs and slender dogs, long-legg-
ed and short-legged dogs; dogs for kill
ing rats, and dogs for killing wild
boars; dogs for use, and dogs for orna-
ments; dogs to care for us, and dogs
for us to care for.
Then there is the little dog-the toy
dog, as it is called. The smallness to
which a dog can be reduced is remark
able; and if the size Of the very small
est dog had not been officially recorded,
no one could be blamed for doubling
the facts concerning the little fellow.
"Tiny," a black and-tan terrier, has
the honor of having been the smallest
full-grown dog that ever lived. He
belonged to Lieutenant General Sir
Archibald Maclaine of England, and
in honor Of his extreme tininess, is
now carefully preserved under glass
case.
Tiny was less than four inches long,
and could comfortably curl up and
take nap in common glass tumbler.
An ordinary flnger-ring was largo
enough for his collar; and when he sat
up, baby's hand would almost have
made broad and safe resting place
for him.
Of course Tiny was of no account
against rat. Indeed, hearty, self.
respecting mouse would have stood its
ground against the little fellow. But
if Tiny had not strength, he did have
courage, and would bark as Justify as
his little lungs would let him at the
biggest rat that ever lived-when the
rat was dead.-St. Nicholas.
