ed with petitions praying for the
passage of a law compelling the
teaching of scientific temperance in
the common schools. These women
and those over whom they exercise
an influence, are not content with
the teaching Of practical knowledge
on subject of temperance but new
branch of study must be added to
those now taught. Since the days
of the patriarch Noah, it has been
practically understood that wine
taken in excessive quantities will
produce drunkenness and imbecility,
and the Book of Books informs us
"That wine is mocker and strong
drink is raging" but this informant
ion is not sufficient to suit the pur-
poses of the schemers who are max
ing cats-paw Of w. G. Il. U. The
evidence is accumulating and be-
coming stronger day by day, that
the whole scheme is a gigantic job,
and a vehicle for a swindle Of the
most gigantic proportions. OF this
transaction the Cleveland Leader
Rep. has this to say, and in which
we fully concur.
"When these petitions were scat
tered throughout the State they
were free from any endorsement,
but now it is a curious fact that all
those circulated under the auspices
of the partisan w. G. It. U. bear the
clause, "For the Barrett Temper
ance Education Bill" The question
naturally arises where did the w.
c. T. U. get it's authority to thus dis
tinguish between the two measures.
The endorsement of Barrett's bill
was not inscribed on the petitions
when signed, and it was not for this
particular measure but for law up
on the subject that these thousands
of citizens and their wives append
ed their signatures. The fact of the
matter is that there is somebody
else besides temperance people in
terested in the passage of this Bar
rett bill, which is worded SO care
fully as to make the adoption of
textbooks necessary. That some
body else is an Eastern book firm
which publishes temperance text
books, and which would take about
$2,OOO,OOO out of the pockets of the
people of Ohio if this measure goes
through. 1t is expected that some
interesting and sensational develop
ments will take place when these
bills come up for passage. The per-
sistent lobbying by acertain officer
of the w. G. T. U. in favor of the
Barnes-Barrett bill has given rise
to a good deal of comment at Col
umbus."
The question naturally arises,
also, Why should our public schools
be burdened with another branch
of education the efficient teaching
of which necessarily requires ad-
ditional text books and additional
expense on the now overhurdened
patrons of the common schools. 1t
is something not contemplated in
the organization of our common
school system and calculated to
render the common school unpopu-
lar and to des troy it's usefulness.
For the information and contem.
plation ofour readers we give below
the full text of the bill recently in
troduced in both branches of Ohio
Legislature, ut the instance, it Is
understood, of the w. G. T. U.

The autograph collector and the relic
hunter disturb much Of the peace and
quiet of senators and representatives.
Congressman Tim" Tarsney, however,
is credited with invening a clever means
of answering the demands Of this gentry.
He has recently been besieged with re-
quests from his constituents to secure the
pen with which the late chief justice
signed the great telephone decision. It
was impossible to get the pen, and, even
if it were possible the pen could not be
passed around to all who We're desirous
Of obtaining it. Tarsney finally hit on a
plan. He purchased a job lot of ancient
looking quills and soaked the points in
ink. One of these he labeled:
''With this quill the late chief justice
penned the great Anarchist decision"
Another bore a card on which was
written:
''This pen wrote the great telephone
decision
A dozen or more were thus labeled
and forwarded to Tarsney's relic hunting
constituents Of the Saginaws. The plan
is said to have worked admirably until
last week, when five distinct pens which
had written the great Anarchist decision
were exhibited in five distinct windows
at Tarsney's Saginaw home. Washing

A Warning.

The modes of DEATHS approach are various,
and statistics show eonelusively that more
persons die from diseases Of the throat and
lungs than any other. It is probable that
every one, without exception, receives vast
numbers Of Tubercle Germs into the system
and where these germs fall upon suitable
soil they start into life and develop, at first
slowly, and is shown by slight tickling
sensation in the throat and if allowed to con
tinue their ravages they extend to the lungs
producing consumption, and to. the head,
causing catarrh. Now all this is dangerous,
and if allowed to proceed will in time cause
death. AT the onset you must act with
promptness, allowing a cold to so without
attention is dangerous and may lose you your
life. As soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils

Hunery Flre pepartment Hor.e.

Fire department horses in the big cities
are, as n rule, ravenous feeders. There
are certain hours of the day when thev
are fed, and the horse soon comes to know
the feeding hours as well as the hostlers.
As early as $50 o'clock in the morning is
oats feeding time. If the feeder happens
to be little slow in getting down stairs,
If he Is only two minutes late, there is the
greatest tramping of hoofs on the wooden
floors, kicking the sides of the stalls and
the wickedest champing of bride bits evox
seen or heard in a stable This sort Of
racket is kept up continuously, too, until
the oats are divided out for the meal
The moment they commence feeding, If
an alarm comes in, every horse in the
house will leave his oats and take his
place under the swinging harness, and
will impatiently dance around anxious to
ret off for a run. The fire department
.orse is, | believe, the only one that viii
leave his oats voluntarily to 90 to work.
The best hostlers in the department al
ways take the bits out Of the mouths of
the horses at feeding time. This is done
to give the animal chance TO thoroughly
mastieate his food. The horse that eats
with the bit in his mouth soon loses his
appetite from indigestion, and will not
last long in the department. Chief

Robert Burns Wilson, the Kentucky

etical fame and face, is in New York on
one of his little visits to the metropolis
which his friends make so delightful for
him. He is a straight, rather slender
man, of some 30 years of age, of me-
dunn height, red Tipped like a woman
his dark brown hair Just little longer
than a city man would wear it and
brushed back from big, smooth, broad
forehead, which in itself would be a
stamp Of distinction. His eyes are dark
and large; tender and merry by turns,
wistful in repOse. His voice is smooth
and clear, and when he read his GO

formal social gathering a few nights ago,
he made a distinct sensation. Mr.. Will

A BarreI for n souvenir.

When one sees a friend off to Europe
this year the approved farewell souvenir
is barrel Of herrings. Not very big
barrel, just large enough to hold very
comfortably in a ladys hand, and not
real herrings at that; papier mache or
composition herrings done in low relief
on the head of the barrel. They are very
realistic herrings, however, and in spite
of their diminutive size it takes a second
glance to assure you that they are not
the real things. The herring barrels are

A sharp eyed little man attracted the
writer's attention in Chicago hotel by

/ closely for a while, he finally concentrated
his attention upon an elderly gentleman

Guilty. Even a casual observer could have
noted that he selected only the softest
articles on the bal Of fare
That man has bad fitting set of teeth
and I'll get them. said the little man.
When the elderly gentleman left the table
the little one followed, and in few mo
ments was in conversation with him, and,
as 1t afterward transpired, had engaged to
buy his false teeth as soon as he had oh.
tanned a new set.
This little man picks up great many
sets Of false teeth in the course Of a year
Most persons that have set before they
reach 30 years Of age are obliged to buy
two more sets, at least, before they reach
go years, and the mouth changes so that
teeth that fit well and serve their weaa,r
well at first after while do not fit and
cause the wearer great deal of discom-
fort. The man that makes a living in
this line has acquired a great knack for
discovering Ill fitting teeth. and he scarcely
ever fails to secure a bargain, for notwith-
standing false teeth are the only immortal
material about our bodies, inasmuch as
they are said to be capable Of resisting 4, 600
degs. of heat (Fahrenheit), very few people
know that they are worth anything second
hand, and so the little man gets them at
his own figure
He told the writer that many sets Of
false teeth arc found. Owners are more
careless Of them than is supposed. and in
stances are more frequent than would be
imagined in which they have been left in
hotel bedrooms. They have been found in
railroad cars and oven in horse cars, and
quite frequently turn up In cabs As the
cabbies and railroad employees cannot wear
other peoples teeth they hunt up the
buyer, and he gets the set for few shil-
lings. The scavengers sometimes rake ND
a set In an ash barrel, and sets are some
times picked up in the streets. One set
was found in magpie's nest in Pennsyl- |
vania, and another was picked out Of |
woman's throat by surgeon. The patient
would never wear them again, and they |
were sold for a song. Tho little man |
