-AIF. Frank Strain has resigned
his position as Cashier Of the First
National Bank Of Phillipsburg and
has stepped down and out. The
cause Of this action is that the close
confinement and arduOus duties OF the
place has injured his health seriously
and he felt compelled to get out into
the open air more. He has held the
position several years to the entire
satisfaction of not only the stock
holders but the bank patrons. Mr..
Strain was for two terms County
Treasurer Of this county and filed
the position ably. It is to be regret
ed that his health has been injured
by this long application to indoor
business. Wherever he may 90 or
whatever business he may hereafter
engage IN, he will have the fullest
confidence and respect Of all, who
will earnestly hope that his health
may be entirely restored. The fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted by the stock holders Of the
First National:
Resolved, That we tender a vote Of
thanks to Mr.. Frank Strain for his
fidelity, industry and zeal in the in
terest OF this bank during the period
he has OfhCiated as cashier, and de-
sire to express our deep regret that
the condition Of his health necessitates
his withdrawal from the arduous du-
ties imposed by the position as cash
Ter.

Some people think they are too
poor to take a newspaper, and there
may be such persons, but after all it
costs but a trife-nOt amounting to a
half a cent a day. Why, one good
thrifty hen viii lay eggs enough to
pay for your local paper year after
year. Then what can be thought Of
a man who viii deprive his family Of
the comfort Of reading the news
which costs only about three cents a
week The boys of such fathers gen
orally grow up to become ignorant,
visciOus citizens, who because Of their
early disadvantages, fall behind in
the race Of life. Such children US
ually leave their fathers home early
In life because there IS so little to at
tract them to stay. The poor wife OF
the man who takes no newspaper Is
to be pitied.

The SpeCter Guest,

An undertaken in Madrid, who lived

gentleman III full evening dress joined
the company. He danced with the host

thoroughly. The undertaken thought

be rude and ask the strangers name.
BY and by all the guests departed and
only the unknown was left.

The coffin was empty. His wife and
daughter had been dancing with n corpse!
But it turned out that the gentleman
had only been in a trance and had sud
denly recovered. Hearing the revelry
above, and being possessed of a keen
though ghastly sense of humor. he had
got out of his coffin and joined the fes-
tive party. He was presentablc, for in
Spain the dead are generally buried in
full evening dress.-New York Herald.

ry EIshiug,

The habits OF the cormorant and of
our native fish hawk are generally
known. Their methods of taking fish
are very much like those Of birds of
prey. But the cassowary fishes accord
ing to q method Of its own. Mr.. Powell
witnessed its operations on q river in the
island of New Britain:
/ saw u cassowary come down to the
waters edge, and stand for some minutes
apparently watching the water carefully.
1t then stepped into the river where ii
was about three feet deep, and, partially
squatting down, spread It's wings out
submerging them, the feathers being
spread and ruffled.
The bird remained perfectly motion
less, and kept its eyes closed, as If in
sleep. 1t remained in this position fol
fully n quarter Of an hour, when, sud
denly closing its wings and Strengthening
its feathers, it stepped out on the bank
Here it shook itself several times, where
upon a quantity OF small fishes fell out
Of its wings, and from amidst It's feath.
ers, which the bird Immediately picked
up and swallowed.
The fishes had evidently mistaken the
feathers for a kind of weed that grows
in the water along the banks Of the rivers
in this island, and which very much re-
sembles the feathers of the cassowary.
The smaller fishes hide in these weeds to
avoid the larger one that prey or them.

Eel Skins for Rheumatism.

"Give me two large eel skins" said q
young woman who entered a North End
drug store at tho time a Globe man hap
pened to be Querching his thirst at the
soda fountain.
EEL skins," said The Globe man tc
the clerk, when the young lady had left
with her purchase. what does she
want Of eel skins:"
"Rheumatism," said the drug clerk.
"You'd be surprised a5 the number OF
people who use eel skins for rheulna-
tism. I know an old mar whose arms
and legs are completely strapped with
them, and he believes that they prolong
his life. We have moro or less call for
them. but l understand that up town
stores don't keep them, although once
in a while their customers ask for them.
We get our skins of a fish dealer on At
lantic avenue. He purchases them from
South Boston people, who sell the skinned
eels for food, and when the skins are
dried, sell them to various customers.
In many Of the fish stores on Atlantic
avenue you will sec a bunch Of the skins
suspended from the wall by o hook.
They are very oily and soft, and while !
don't take much stock In them, num-
bers Of people have implicit faith in
them. I am told that there Is a German
family in South Boston that sells these
eel skins to various people throughout
the United States and realizes q snug
little income therefrom. "-Doston Globe.

A Horses Broken Heart.

The emotional life Of the horse Is re-
markable. There are instances on rec
ord where the death Of tho horse has
been traced directly to grief. One in
stance is called to mind which occurred
more than twenty years age. A circus
had been performing in the little town
OF U~nionville, Pa, when one of the
trained horses sprained one Of his legs
SO that he could not travel. He was
taken to the hotel and put in a box stall.
The leg was bandaged and he was made
as comfortable as possible. He ate his
food and was apparently contented until
about midnight, when the circus began
moving out Of town. Then he became
restless and tramped and whined. AS
the aravan moved past the hotel he
seemed to realize that he was being de-
serted, and his anxiety and distress be-
came pitiful. He would stand with his
ears pricked in an attitude Of intense
listening, and then as his ears caught the
sounds Of the retiring wagons he would
rush, as best he could with his injured
leg, from one side Of the stall to the
WHICH, pushing y III oooi ~tth fiS DOoc
and making every effort to escape.
The stableman, who was a stranger to
him, tried to soothe him, but to no pur-
pose. He would not be comforted. Long
after all sounds Of the circus had ceased
his agitation continued. The sweat
poured from him in streams and he quiv-
cred In every part of his body. Finally
the stableman went to the house, woke
up the proprietor and told him he be-
lieved the horse would die If some of the
circus horses were not brought back to
keep him company. At about daylight
the proprietor mounted a horse and rode
after the circus. He overlook ID ten or
twelve miles away, and the groom who
had charge of the injured horse returned
with him. When they reached the stable
the horse was dead. The stablcman said
that he remained for nearly an hour per-
fectly still and with every sense appar-
emily strained to the utmost tension and
then, without making a sign, fell and
died with scarcely a struggle, Western
Sportsman.

Motherly Devotion.

The late Queen Mary of Bavaria is said
to have been as warmly devoted and
blindly obedicnt to her SON, King Lud-
wig III, as she had been to her husband,
King Max. From the day of his Access
sion, she looked upon him moro as a
king than a son.
A story is told which shows how dearly
mother and son loved each other. They
were gazing out Of one Of the windows
III the frescoed hall Of Hohenschwangau,
with one Of the finest views in the world
before them-the green Schwansee in the
foreground, the pine clad hills reflected
in its pure surface, and above all, the
noble mountains stretching or every
side. The king drank in the wild beauty
of lake and mountain, and raised his
eyes to the sky. The queen, who never
scared too high, gazed with delight ut an
imposing pine which lowered high above
the window at which they stood. Sud-
denly the queen exclaimed: "What a
glorious Christmas tree this would make
if we could decorate It'll"
The king passed his hand over his
eyes, smiled and kissed her. That was
in August. In December he expressed a
wish to spend Christmas at Hohen-
schwangau. The queen, always willing
to do what he wished, followed him
thither. On Christmas eve, with loving
care, she decorated a little tree, and, as
in the days when she was a mother of
90, she rang the bell to call her children.
The great event Of the evening seemed
over, the lights were blown out. when
suddenly a gong sounded, King Ludwig
took his mothers hand, and, leading her
to the window out Of which they had
gazed together that morning in August,
he pushed back the shutters and disclos-
ed to her astonished eyes the gigantic
tree lighted with a thousand wax can
dies, which burned bright in the frosty
night and were reflected In the snow and
icicles on trees and shrubs around.-Lon-
don Globe.

The Weight OF individuals.

The average weight Of a boy at birth
Is seven and that Of a girl a little more
than six pounds. When they have at
tanned the full development Of man or
womanhood they should weigh twenty
times as much as they did at birth. This
would make a mans average weight 140
and a woman's about 125. The height
Of a male ut birth Is l foot 8 inches and
that Of a female 1 foot 6 inches. Fully
grown, a mans height should be about
three and a half times greater than at
birth, or 8 feet 0 inches, while a woma
should be 8 feet 8 inches. The weight Of
individuals who are fully developed and
well formed, however, varies within ex-
tremes, which are nearly as l to 9, while
their height varies within limits which
at most are as I TO 1-8. Taking 200
pounds as the maximum OF mans weight
and IS as the minimum we would have
the average Of 14sa pounds. Placing the
maximum weight of woman at 1876
pounds and the minimum at 70 pounds,
and we get an average Of 1871 pounds

A Sturgis special to the Sioux City
Journal says: "The commissioners of
Meade and Lawrence counties met in
Joint session Friday and settled up the
affairs between their two bailiwic IS.
The amount of the debt the new county
of Meade assumes is Sl56,S61. This is
about $4,000 more than our authorities
first figured. 1t is self-evident that the
Lawrence county officials did not over
look anything. This Indebtedness is a
legacy that will remain with us as a re-
minder of the halcyon days of 1860,
when county officials looked out for No.
/ and let the taxpayers rustic for them
selves. Thank fortune, We are now by
ourselves and rid of the milestone about
our necks."
