RUNNING.

The age at which running can be
practiced with impunity by a healthy
man in training is from twenty to
thirty. Boys of ten and twelve-and
girls also-can run, and run with little
breathlessness even, and no apparent
fatigue. When the age of puberty is
attained, and the limbs are rapidly
growing, the lever action of the muscles
and bones is continually being altered,
and the centre of gravity varying al
most from day to day. At this age
training for running races is not only
likely to be unsuccessful, but posi-
lively injurious to the body, and to the
health in general In boys races, for
those under fourteen years, no previous
training should be inflicted. No one
should train for running until he is at
least eighteen; but twenty would be
safer age. Between twenty and twen-
tv-seven is the best age for attaining
speed in running. Training for run
ming can at this age be undergone with
comparative safety; the heart and YES
sells have not yet begun to show signs
of wear and tear. and the elasticity of
the blood can be relied on to accommo-
date themselves to the increased circu-
lation through them. Fat has not at
that age begun to accumulate within
the abdomen and thorax, so that the
breathing has free play. Between
thirty and forty wise man will think
twice before undergoing training for
race running. He can run with i'm
punity at a moderate pace, and for
practice, but not races. Older men
should run on no pretense whatever.
An old man running to catch his train
and falling down in fit of apoplexy,
is an everyday tale, and from what
has been previously stated this is read
lily understood.

BUSINESS MEN and ADVERTISING.

The Stdtioner and Printer says that
some business men turn sharply on
their heel or await with look of pain
full resignation when approached on
the subject of advertising. Now, why
is it? Is not advertising legitimate?
Is it not the root of success in business?
Is not the advertising solicitor engaged
in an honorable calling? Then why
should men get mad when asked to
advertise, and treat the advertising
solicitor as if he were thief or beg
gar? Well, candidly we don't blame
business men for doing as they do nine
cases in ten. There are probably more
humbugs in the advertising business
than in any other respectable business.
The business man is bored to death by
grand schemers who want his card to
hang up, with a hundred or more in a
frame in a million hotels, banks or
counting houses in the country-and
only five dollars. SO cheap, you know.
If you don't want to hang up on the
wall, the modest schemer will lay you
on million tables in a corner of big
book, on every page is a magnificent
chrome. You pay your money and
you take your choice. All these
schemes disgust the business man, and
we don't blame him for being disgusted.
But why will any sane man be talked
into these senseless schemes? 1t is a
conundrum solved only by Barnum's
assertion that the Americans love to
be humbugged. But this loss of faith
in advertising hurts the legitimate ad-
vertising channels-the papers. 1t
hurts them just as spurious goods do
the honest manufacturer. 1t blinds
the eyes of business man to his own
best interests, and makes him even go
so far often as to repel the representa-
tives of legitimate papers. Let bust
ness men think over this matter.

At Chester, Nebraska, on Saturdy
night, mob determined to lynch War
rem Coon, who had repeatedly beaten
his wife and threatened to burn the
town. The mob captured Coon, and
were about to lynch him, when his
wife pleaded for him on her knees, and
prayed to heaven and to the mob to
spare him and to give him one more
chance to be man" Coon followed
his wife's example, prayed on his
bended knees, and promised an oath
over a Bible never again to mistreat
his wife, and to stop drinking" On the
understanding that violation of his
oath would result in his hanging, the
mob concluded to let him have another
chance and thereupon dispersed.

which was hotly engaged. The Con-
federate shells were plowing furrows
about the guns, and the cannoneers
were grimly and actively at work to
answer shot for shot. The chaplain
addressed himself to sergeant, who
was very efficient but at the same time
rather profane, in the following words:
my friend, if you go on this way can
you expect the support of Divine Prov

THE C~ENTIPEDE'S BITE.
Two Rather Doubtful Stories from
Personal Experience.
Louisville Courier journal.

Louisville Courier-J journal.
A few day ago Luclen Alexander ra-
ceived, from a friend in Arkansas, a spec.
linen of that venomous animal, the cent?
pede. Mr.. Alexander placed the articu-
late in q jar of alcohol and has it on ex-
hlbltion at his store. Almost everyone
who has been attracted by it has related
remarkable incidents about Its family.
The ceLtipede Ia known to he one of the
most poisonous reptiles in existence. 1t
Is claimed that its sting Ia sure death,
and an antidote for its poison is among
the undiscovered wonders of the world.
Oae of the stories related of this spi-
cies is that of an ex-soldier. He says
that when among the Ozark mountains a
companion felt one of them crawling up
his leg. He knew its sting was sudden
and fatal, but the varment was on him.
What must he do 10 be eaved was the
question. He knew it would be impossi-
BILE to shake it off, because at the least
disturbance ii would plant itsfangs into his
flesh. Ha left 1t era wiling, aud as 1t came
higher snd higher on his limb the pres
piration boiled from every pore CT his
body. Every moment was one of gony,
hpt LAO btRbh W I6uliLd bubU LIE llt6 hung
on a slender thread. Finally an idea
sugeested itself. He dealt the c~entipede
a terrific blow, killing 1t but of courae
at the first touch Its taDgs were inserted
In his flesh. Almost instantly he dis
robed, and with a common pocket knife
made an inclsion around the affected part
and removed about a pound of flesh.
This was twenty years ago, and the man
carries an ugly scar to this day but to
that scsr he yves his life.
Another story, more remarkable, Is
briefly told. A company of ~emigrants
had camped In New Mexico. and one
night one of the party, who was sleeping
on the ground, was awakened by a psou-
liar sensation on his toes. He looked and
aaw a monstroua csntlpede crawling
across his foot. Only a few feet from
him was the campfire, and he could see
every fter of the reptile. Knowing its
peculiarites and the effect of its sting,
he, too, was in a fever of excitement.
Afraid to move a muic'e, he dared
not attempt to shake it of
After a seconds pause he reached under
his head, got his pistol, and, taking de-
llbeia'e aim, fired. 1t was a li~fe-saving
shot for the man, the centipede divided
in two parts on either side of his foot.
But here comes the most remarkable
Part of the 1T ry. Within an hour after
the shot was fired the men heard a ter.
rible grosning from one of their mules
plckstsd only a few yards away. They
went to them and found one of them
with bis left fore leg swollen to an enor-
nous size. The swelling increased, as
did the sg ony and gtoans of the brute,
until il died in about thirty minutes
Thereafter. An examination was made
and it was discovered that the bulle
which had severed the centipede had en-
tered the mules foot Just above the hoof

land to be sold ire in the Logal V ley,
some thirty miles west Of thi, city and
&C iacent to the RAILROAD station Of Ener,
son. The,e lands ate to be appraised. ard
sold according to the value fixed by the
appraisers. The Santee reservation, a
tract Ct about 100, 900 acres In the north
ern part of Knox county. Nebraska, will
be open to settle, except such tracts as
the Sautee take III severalty, after May
20. This land Is mostly convenient to
to railtosd, and, excepting a belt ofblufs
along the north border, Is most excellent
farming land. As this Sansee land may,
when opened to settlement, be taken as
homestead, timber claim or pre-emptiop,
1t is likely to be much sought after. To
reach 1t the intending settler will take
the Milwaukee road to Springfield, which
lies on the Dakota side opposite the reser-
walton, or may continue on the anne road
to Running Water, aud there cross the
river to Niobrara, which town is just
wet of the border of the reservation.
Niobrara may be rescheda'so by q twenty
mile stage drive from Creighton, the
terminus of the branch of the Sioux City
and Pacific. The land office, where, af-
ter the lands are open to settlement, i'll
ings will be received, Is at Niobrars.
For farming, these lands are far pref
cradle to any on the western frontier.
They border the Missouri and have all
the advantages of established markets,
railroads and old settlement. They excel
in gra,s and are fully within the great
corn belt, arguments OF great weight to
the experienced stock and grain farmer.
But the multitudes who are going with a
rueh to the Tooth meridian and beyond,
are now incapable of sound discreet exam
nation and judgement. Experience will
disclose thtir mistake when it is too late
the tide will turn back to the east as in
years before.

the music and the dances to suit. The
Polish costume was very becoming, espec-
