Planting with q Cannon.

Alexander Nasmyth, the Landscape
painter, was a man fruitful in expedi
ents. To his mind, the fact that a
thing could not be done in the ordi
nary manner was no reason why il
should be given up. His son relates
the following interesting example OF
his ingenuity:
The Duke of Athol consulted him as
to some Improvements which he de.
sired to make in his woodland scenery
near Dunkeld.
Among other things, certain rocky
crag needed to be planted with trees,
to relieve the grim barrenness of its
appearance. The question was how to
do it, as it was impossible for any man
to climb the crag, in order to set seed
or plants in the clefts of the rock.
A happy idea struck my father.
Having observed in front of the castle
a pair of small cannon, used for firing
salutes on great days, it occurred to
him to turn them to account
A tinsmith in the village was Or
dered to make a number of canisters
with covers. The canisters were filled
with all sorts of suitable tree seeds.
The cannon was loaded, and the can
listers were fired up against the high
face of the rock. They burst and
scattered the seed in all directions.
Some years after, when my father
revisited the place, he was delighted
to find that his scheme of planting by
artillery had proved completely sue
cessful; the trees were fouriShing
luxuriantly in all the recesses of the

Over Eating.

1t is a decree that while civilized
man cannot live without dining he
might live great deal longer without
so much dining, or rather without
dining so extensively. Sir Henry
Thompson says that he has been COM
PEELED by facts to think that more
mischief in the form of disease has ac-
crued to civilized man from erroneous
habits in eating than from the use of
alcoholic drink. He also declared
himself in doubt whether improper
and inordinate eating were not as
great moral evil as inordinste drink
ing. Many of our best physicians say
that the habit of over eating is at the
bottom of most troublesome diseases.
Doubtless this habit is most often laid
in childhood. How many mothers
feed their babies as often IS they cry,
taking it for granted i'll the most i'm
beetle manner that the baby cries for
food when moro often the helpless
little Evictim cries because it already
has had too much food. When the
stomach once becomes accustomed to
being crowded with food, It the supply
is cut short there is ct first q @naWing
sensation that is frequently mistaken
for hunger Persevere u htt.a longer
in your abstinence, and you VIII find
yourself benefited by it. = Halls Jour

Gave Him the Knife.

Several nights ago Col. Jerry Spill
ers, of Kentucky, went to see Coaue-
LIN, .at McVicker's theatre. The colonel
had never heard of the great French
comedian, and expected to see a per-
formance something after the style of
the minstrel shows which visit coun-
try towns. The Kentuckian secured a
seat near the stage, and, shortly after
the performance began, began, in an
annoyed way, to scratch his head.

An Immense Paving Stone.

There is new paving stone come
to town which breaks the record for
size. The stone forming the sidewalk
before the Vanderbilt mansion, in
Fifth avenue, has hitherto held the
record, and the honor will still be in
the family, for it is Frederick Wander
bilt who has had the new one brought
to New York, and it will be placed in
front of his house. 1t is fifteen feet
wide and twenty feet long. It was
quarried at Oxford, Chenango county,
and transported to this city on a spe-
cial car. Superintendent William
Buchanan, of the New York Central
road, designed the car, and, according
to an account published yesterday,
showed greatingenuity in overcoming
the many difficulties Of his task. Moth
ing can be carried on the Central that
is wider than ten or higher than four
teen feet, but Mr.. Buchanan applied
mathematics to the puzzle of handling
a mass fifteen feet wide. He put the
stone on edge at such an angle that its
breadth and height accommodated
themselves to the limits, brought it
in safety to the city, and received the
well deserved congratulations of his
friends.-New York Tribune.

a Pretty Scene.

A pretty little scene was witnessed
yesterday at north side street cross
ing. A 3-year-old child, with glow
ing cheeks and sparkling eyes, hold
ing tightly clasped in his chubby fin
gers bright new penny, was toddling
with all the possible speed of his little
limbs toward the nearest candy store.
He came to the crossing Just as a
teamster came along with heavily
laden truck which taxed the horses
strength to the utmost. The child
started for the opposite sidewalk, but
stopped hesitatingly on seeing the
wagon. With a loud "WhoaT' the
driver pulled up his horses, and with
smile lighting up his rugged face
waved his whip, motioning for the
little fellow to proceed. The boy ran
across the street, and, turning around
when he reached tke pavement, stood
for an instant watching the horses as
they tugged and strained to start their
heavy load again. Then he raised his
hands to his lips and waited kiss at
the driver, who lifted his hat with
courtly grace and then waited back
the little love messenger. Then there
were further interchanges of kisses
and smiles, and the wagon rolled
down the street and the little gentle
man toddled on toward the candy
store. Chicago Tribune.

the other day which might have re-

person concerned Two women were
walking with a little girl between
them, each of them having her by the
hand All three started to cross the
street, when a hack came along at a
brisk pace, whereupon one Of the
women hurried in front of the horses
while the other held back, but both re-
tanned their hold of the child, and the
consequence was that for moment
she was held in the path of destruction,
her feet scarcely touching the ground,
her little arms extended and the pole of
the carriage threatening to impa1e her.

Facts About the Human Body.

The average number of teeth is thir-
ty-two.
The brain of man exceeds twice that
ofany other animal.
The weight of the circulating blood is
twenty-eight pounds.
A man breathes about twenty times a
minute and 1100in an hour.
The average weight of an adult is one
hundred and fifty pounds and six oun-
ces.
A man breathes about eighteen pints
of air in minute, or upward of seven
hogsheads in day.
The average weight of the brain of q
man is three and one-half pounds; of q
woman two pounds and eleven ounces.
Five hundred and forty pounds, or
one hogshead and one and one-quarter
pints, of blood pass through the heart
in one hour.
The heart sends nearly ten pounds of
blood through the veins and arteries
each beat, and makes four beats while
we breathe once.
One hundred and seventy-five million
cells are in the lungs, which would COW
er surface thirty times greater than
the human body.
The average height of an Englishman
is five feet nine inches, of a Frenchman
five feet four inches, of a Belgian five
feet six and three-fourths inches.

Moving a Bridge.

The Norwich Bulletin says recently
the Pennsylvania railroad wanted big
iron bridge, 25S feet long and weighing
$4,000 tons, moved from its place over
Mill Creek, near Lancaster, to a new site
forty-five feet away. Master Carpenter
Beard took the job. He had 100 men to
help him. He made his preparations
leisurely, and, when the last train had
passed over the bridge, with his hundred
men and his trestles, rollers, jacks and
cranes he set to work. Unjust fifty eight
minutes from the time the work began
the bridge was in its new place and a
freight train of such size as to require
two locomotives was passing over it.
Now the ancients couldn't have done
that in the same time if they had had
10000 men, What we know about iron
and its uses and how to work it is worth
more to the world than all the lost arts
of all past ages combined

How a United States Senator is Cho-
sen.

By many of its esteemed patrons this pa
per has been requested to explain the method
of choosing a United States Senator, and,
further, to state the time when such choice
will next be made IN Ohio.
The procedure of Senatorial election is
regulated by the Federal Statutes, in connec-
ton with the Federal Constitution. The lat
ter provides that the Senators shall be chosen
by the Legislatures of the respective States,
and the former prescribe that the process of
choosing shall commence on the second Tues
day after organization. Organization, in
this respect, means the election of the officers
of the two branches of the Legislature.
The next General Assembly of Ohio, the
Sixty-ninth, will come together, in pursuance
of the State constitution, on "the first Mon
day in January" That will be the 7th. 1t
is presumable that organization will!be inn
mediately effected. If SO, the process or
choosing United States Senator will begin
on Tuesday, the 14th of January.
A separate vote, viva voce, and only one,
will on that day, be taken in each House. At
noon the next day the two Houses will "con-
vene in joint assembly" and vote, viva voce,
for Senator. This voting must continue-at
least one ballot being taken each legislative
day-unti some candidate receives major
ity of the whole Joint Assembly.

20 Senator Sherman has returned from
Ohio to Washington in the best of humor. He
finds it impossible to hide his eation over
Foraker's defeat. Here's what he said to a
newspaper man: "We were defeated, as
everybody knows, but the Republican party
has been defeated in Ohio before with the
result of doing it good" Could anything be
palmer than that? As soon as Mr.. Sherman
arrived in Washington he went to the White
House presumably to congratulate Mr.. Har-
rison on the summary removal of what
looked at one time like dangerous rival of
his in 1892. Doubtless President Harrison
chuckled as he thought that the Ohio election
removed two rivals instead of one, as Mr..
Sherman thinks. For iusta as certain as Mr..
Sherman helped to remove Foraker in 1889
will Foraker help to 'down" Sherman in
1892.-Kenton Democrat.
