The GallipoIis Bulletin says that
Hiram Murphy, who was taken
from Gallipolis by the Sheriff of
Pike county, a few weeks since, had
his trial last week and was senten-
ced to the penitentiary for one year
for bigamy. He had just finished
term of one year for burglary,
and pleaded that he was under the
impression that having been in the
Penitentiary it divorced him from
his first wife, in consideration of
which plea the court gave him the
lightest dose under the statutes.

The Kind of Men who Go 10
Heaven.

This is from the St Louis Globe
Democrat: "There," said neigh
Dor, pointing to a village carpenter,
"there is man who has done more
good, really believe, in this com
munity than any other person who
ever lived in it. He cannot talk
very much in public, and he does
not try. BE is not worth $4,000,
and it is very little he can put down
on subscription papers. But new
family never moves into the village
that he does not find it out and give
them neighborly welcome and
offer them some service. He is on
the lookout to give strangers seat
in his pew at church. He is al
ways ready to watch with sick
neighbor and look after his affairs
for him. 1 believe-he and his wife
keep house plants in winter mainly
that they may be able to send little
bouquets TO friends and invalids.
He finds time for a pleasant word
to every child he meets, and you'll
always see them climbing into his
one-horse wagon when he has nc
other load. He has a genius for
helping folks, and it does me good
to meet him in the streets

The mills of the BochieI Lumber
Company, in Garrett county, Nd,
along the line of the B. & o., about
two two miles west of Piedmont will
likely be moved to near Buckhan-
non, the Company making an offer
of 100000 for a tract of timber
land in that vicinity. This compa-
ny was Incorporated in 1874 with a
capital stock of 100000, and en-
ploys 200 hands. They have sawed
up all the lumber within twenty
miles of their present location and
for this reason must move into an
other timber district.

Save The Babies.

Infant mortality is something
frightful. We can hardly realize
that of all the children born in civil
lized countries, twenty-five per
cent, or nearly one-quarter, die be-
fore they reach one year; thirty
seven per cent, or more than one
third, before they are five, and one
half before they are fifteenl
We do not hesitate to say that a
timely use of Castoria would save
a majority of these precious lives.
Neither do we hesitate to say that
many of these intantile deaths are
occasioned by the use of narcotic
preparations. All the drops tinct-
ures and syrups sold for children's $
complaints are composed principally
of opium or morphine. They are,
in considerable quantities, deadly
poisons. In any quantity, they
stupefy, retard circulation, and
lead to congestlons, sickness, death.
Castoria operates exactly the re-
verse. 1t causes the blood to circu-
late properly, opens the pores of the
skin and allays fevers. Then the
child sleeps. lie gets well. This
is the way Castoria acts.

A Good Story That Was FamIi-
liar TO Our GrandfaGhers.

But of all the associations connec-
ted with that much -slandered Amer
lean citizen, the grounding, and
his day, there is none which should
be more familiar to all his fellow
countrymen than an anecdote of the
great Daniel Webster, which though
known to every schooIboy of fifty
years ago, may be new to the present
generation of readers: A ground
hog, or woodchuck, was caught on
the Webster farm, and Daniel, then
lad, besought his father to spare
its life, while his brother Zeke in
sisted it should die. Their father
said he would act as Judge, while
his boys, as counsel for the prosecu-
ton and defense, should make ar
guments for and against the prison
er, after which he would decide his
fate. Zeke then made powerful
plea, and the ground hogs doom
was apparently sealed, when Daniel
arose, and in one of those mastery
addresses, which afterward made
him famous, SO worked upon his.
fathers pity and compassion that
when he had finished the old man
cried out, with tears streaming down
his cheeks: "Zeke! Zeke! you Let

With little care on the part of thee cook
or housekeeper every scrap of stale bread
can bemade available All the crusts and
small pieces should be placed in apan and
dried slowly in a warm oven. When they
are perfectly dry put them into small bag
made of ticking OF canvas, and pound
them fine with wooden mallet. Sift them
and put them in glass jars. They will
keep for months, and can beused for bread
ing meats, fish croquettes, etc.
Another way of using these dry scraps
is to roll them until they break in rather
coarse crumbs. They are then nice to eat
with bowl of milk, for instance, or tea.
Cut all the crust from a loaf of stale
bread, then tear the loaf in long, thin
pieces. Spread these in large pan, only
one layer deep, and place in hot oven.
When they are crisp and brown. which
will be in six or seven minutes if the oven
be very hot, send them to the table with
thin slices of cheese This dish is nice Just
before dessert. Frequently it is served
with coffee-Selected.

Homemade Chair Bottoms.

We lately visited some old acquaint-
ances and soon discovered that the chairs
in most request were three, the bottoms of
which had been replaced by one OF the
daughters The chairs were originally
cane-seated. When these gave way the
bottom was taken out. Straps made by
quilting together, on a machine, four
thicknesses of heavy bed-ticking, were
passed around the pieces to which the
canes had been fastened, and made secure.
Eight such straps were used, four at right
angles to the others. These supported
a cusion, made little larger than the
chair frame. A row offringe hid the pieces
over which passed thestraps. Thecushion
was fastened to the straps. The chairs
were easier than those with the rigid cane
seats, and had been reseated longer than
a year, yet the new seats were apparently
good for longer period Of wear in addi

one-half cupful of butter, one cupful of

one teaspoonful baking powder. Flavor

cake. Experience will teach just how stiff
the batter of cake should be made. Some
"cupfuls' of -four are larger than others.

WORK FOR ALL.

mo man is born into the world whose work
Is not born with him; there is always work.
And tools to work wthal for those who will;
And blessed are the horny hands of toils

The man who stands with arms akimbo set,
Until occasion tells him what to do,
And he who waits to have his task marked out
Shall die and leave his errand unfulflled.''

Nothing to Do.

In one of the valuable and exceedingly
readable papers by the Country Parson,
it tells of a moody misanthropic mana
man of wealth and leisure, who having
nothing in particular to do, had become
so thoroughly miserable from his con
tinued dwelling upon self, came home on
one occasion full of unwonted animation
and enthusiasm. 1t was found out that
he had officiated as pall-bearer at fun
eral he had just attended A trifling SER
vice for dead man had been the means of
infusing new life in q man who seemed al
most ready to die himself.
There is no one thing more disastrous
i'll it's effects than life of luxury and leis-
ure. 'Nothing to do" brings unrest and
unhappiness, perhaps unequaled many
an affiiction which we deem of far graver
import. Downright hard work, whether
of muscle or brain, invigorates the nerves
and feeds both mind and body, and yet
how eagerly do we strive all our lives to
change the order of this divinely appoint
ed method of human living. To be sure
overwOrk sometimes kills, but complete
inaction always kills. Note the pitiable
condition of the inmates of our prisons,
not only in their isolation, but without
work. No wonder as in the recent case of
those III the New York State prison they
should tiercely demand work, work, or
thoV wOu1d bocOma crazv
There is no tonic or stimulant to mind
or body equal to it, 1t is not, however,
the work of itself, but the spirit we put
into it which makes it tonic. Work be-
comes drudgery indeed without an in
telligent purpose in it all. 1t is then like
slave going to his meaningless, tiresome
labor, day after day, with the only hope
in it all that the end will soon come.
There are days to be sure, even in the
busiest lives, when our work seems to be
drudgery, when the same things to be
done every day become very tiresOme
and mOnOtonous; even the cOmmOnest
duties ardorous and irksome. They often
become so doubtless from overtaXed
nerves, vet if stop and consider for a
moment what we would become without
them, what fearful state of mind com
plete inaction would bring us to, let us be
thankful for the blessedness of work.
The question for the most of us is, not
how we can do greater work, but how
we can do what we have on hand more
faithfully and efficiently. Life is made up
mostly of very commonplace duties. Let
us real re that these duties are great
privileges, even when it comes to such
homely work as washing the dishes three
times day!
