ONE Of the most interesting figures
in the next House Of Representa-
tiyes will bc Gen. y. 4. Banks who,
after an ev"ntful life, returns at the
age Of - years To complete his
public career. Gen. Banks was
elected Speaker of the House, we
believe in ISIS, after one If the must
exciting contests in the history of
that body before or since. His
election marked the preliminary
advent to power of the Republican
party which succeeded Ia the prpSi
dency and the complete control of
the federal government, two years
later. Gen. Banks made one of the
finest presiding offices that ever sat
In the Speaker chair. Although
one of the most turbulent pnlitiral
periods ever known in this country,
no decision Of his was ever over
ruled by the House. subsequently
TO Ills service a. Speaker, jicn.
Banks took an active part in the
war Of the Rebellion aud was three
times elected Governor of Mas
sachusetts. There il something
very befitting in his returns tu
public life at this time, when the
party Of which he was one Of the
earliest champions, il about to take
up n second time the TPinS al
power.

The bull dog is much more easy to
train and control than is generally sup
posed I am convinced that he possesses
quite as much brain power as any of the
larger dogs. His appearance is very
much against his character for gentle
ness and this has caused people to shun
and avoid him, 60 that his disposition.
however pleasant it may have been orig
illally. has been made cross and savage
by the treatment which he has received,
though he iseven now much less ferOcious
than he is believed to he. Nodos is ca
pable of greater affection than he, or
shows more gratitude for any kindness.
Pure high bred dogs of any kind are hard
To train, for the reason that they are too
high spirited. The mongrels Of the street
can be much more easily trained. because
they can be much more easily controlled.

toned the boy some distance of, and
approached the tree to get a shot at the
beast, when he was horr,fied to see the
animal springing through the air di-
rectly toward his son. Il struck the lit

its claws. clutching in the clothing on
his shoulder, tearingaway large chunk
of flesh. Mr.. Hardy rained heavy blows
on its back and head with q club. The
catamount left the boy and sprang at
the man. its teeth fastening in the heavy
lapel of his overeoat. which was but
toned closely about the neck. It would
have seized his throat but for the heavy
goods warding off the attack. By this
time the dogs had seized the beast and
dragged it to the ground, where, after q
hard battle, in which the dogs, Hardy
and the boy all joined, it was dis
patched. The boy was terribly scratched
about the shoulder and left side of the
face. The father escaped with the loss
of his overcoat and few deep cuts on

Inveueea the LuciSer Match,

AGerman authority claims that lucifer
matches were the invention of q political
prisoner, who perfected his idea within
the walls Of jail Kammerer, the
prisoner in question, ON coming out Of
confinement began the manufacture Of
matches. Unfortunately the absence of
q patent law prevented his rights from
being secured, and an Austrian and other
chemists analyzing the composition, imi.
tations speedily made their appearance.
Between the lucifer match as originally
made and the safety match that lights
only on its own box, have appeared many
varieties Of matches. The safety match
was invented in Sweden by man named
Lundstrom. The trade in matches has
assumed enormous proportions, espe-
cially in Germany, where vast quantities
are eexported.-Troy Times.

Is no average. A man can spend profit
ebly 5000 in getting planted, or he can
have the thing done in pretty good shape
for q weeks salary, and he'll feel just as
satisfied as though he were investing a
fortune in it. Some people are very ap-
prehensive concerning their funeral. and
others don't think about it at all II q
man wants to have the thing done prop
erly, and 60 without a hitch, $50 viii
make q pleasant display in his neighbor-
hood. There has been a cut in rates
among undertakes of late, and prices

trouble will besadjusted and the old scale
