Lnther,s ..Tnhle Talk

Remarkable was the discovery of
Martin Luther's Table Talk" In the
year 1926 a German gentleman named
Casbarus Won Spar was engaged in
building a new house. In the course
of their excavations the workmen
came upon a small square package
wrapped in strong linen cloth, which
had been carefully plastered all over
with beeswax. On opening and ex-
aiming the parcel a volume was dis
covered. This volume was Luther's
work, the only copy in existence. 1t
had evidently been buried by Won
Sparr's grandfather to escape the PEN
atty of an edict issued by Rudolph II,
at the instigation of Pope Gregory
XIII, making it death for n one to
possess the work. The loss of this
book would have been a great misfor-
tune, for without it we never should
have understood the character of the
great reformer-never have known
what he was when surrounded by
his family and his friends.-Chicago

''Old country" clay pipes are largely
frauds. The other day I gave an Irish
friend a new clay, and told him it had
just been given me by a newly arrived
emigrant from the Emerald isle. He
filed it and commenced smoking,
explaining to me all the time that
there was no Disgusting an Irish pipe,
because the clay was different from
all other clay, and the feel to the lips
was SO much nicer than any other
make of pipe. The much priced clay
was one of a thousand just arrived
from the east. They were made in
France, where, indeed, nineteen
twentieths of all the clay pipes
smoked throughout the world are
manufactured. The number of these
clays turned out every year is about
20, 00o, 900, and women and child labor
is used very largely in their produc-
ton. This is why they can be sold at
such exceedingly low prices.-Inter

About timers.

The Americans are a badge wearing
as well as a title wearing nation. 1t
is a very insignificant individual who
does not display upon his scarf, vest
or lapel the insignia of at least one
society, organization, lodge, frater-
nifty, order or league. Sometimes it
happens that a man is successfully a
college Greek, a mason, a veteran and
a politician; and it behooves him to
invest in a pin, badge, charm, pen
dant or button to represent each and
every one. Indeed there is no law ex-
cept the word of his wife TO prevent a
man from belonging TO any number
of societies, and it is customary to
have something to show for it in each
instance. There is q man in Burling-
ton, Ia, who has a penchant for Sc
cret societies. He belonged TO sc many
that he could not remember the names
Of all of them, and so he adorned him
self with all the insignia at his com
mand and had his photograph taken.
His broad bosom was literally covered
with medals, pins and badges. The
sight would have made the favorite of
a king jealous, and broken the back
of a painted Indians proudest war
whoop.
Once in a while a man is found who
puts all his titles upon his cards. He
is the High Squingee of the Fa Ku
Wole visiting delegate of Noble Cob
blers, secretary of the Artless Travel
ers, Q. r. b. of the D. II. IT., member
of the general conference of the asso-
citation of Q. II. s., and SO on. 1t is
impossible TO gaze on such n man
without a feeling of awe.
And yet, seriously speaking, these
emblems mean a great deal. They re-
present fraternity, charity, love, good
will and good faith. They are outward
signs of IN invisible yet powerful tie.
The effect has on the whole been good.
The badge business is overdone,
sometimes. that is all.-Minneapolis

James Fair tells a St Louis Globe
Democrat man: 1.-The .cutest conf
dence game that / ever heard of was
practiced On myself. l was coming
up Broadway a few days ago with a
button hole bouquet given me by a
friend pinned to my coat, and was &C
costed by two ragged little wrens-
little girfs-who very piteously asked
me for the lowered trophy, which /
had owned but a few hours, and
which, by the way, was very pretty
and attractive. With a deal of reluc-
lance l gave it to them and passed on.
Shortly after that, as l returned, / was
approached by another little girl, who
offered for sale the same bouquet / had
parted with but q half hour before.
Realizing hat some sort of a combine
existed between the one who offered
to sell and those to whom l had given
the flowers, | determined TO buy and
watch developments. For ten cents ]
bought the bouquet AS soon as she
received the money she broke straight
for a newsboy, had the dime changed,
ran TO the alley across from the Lac
lede hotel, joined the two girls who
had done the beg act, and divided the
spoils- Each girl received three cents,
which left one cent over. How should
they divide the cent? They Tipped
for it How much they made that
day in this way l do not know, but it
is reasonable TO suppose hal 1 was
not the only one who was made a dupe
of by those three ragged little wrens."

The exhibition of vile books on the
stalls outside Librarians windows is at
all times an offense against decency
in Paris, but during the last three or
four months the scandal has become
such as to justify any modern Juve-
nal in describing this city a an
immense lupanar. Old Rome as
described by Juvenal could hardly
have been more corrupt than
is Paris Of the present day, to judge
from the literature that one sees
everywhere offered for sale with alb
solute liberty and absolute shameless
ness. The government pretends to
exercise some controlin the interest of
public moral over pictures and Illus
trations, but the pen and the printing
press are free to pander TO the worst
passions. Books professedly obscene
are those which meet with the best
sale. A gloss of luxury is generally
put upon all this vileness by means of
fine paper and printing and engrav-
ings that r often beautiful from al
artistic point of view.
A work Of this kind entitled Pour
Dire Entree Hommes, which appeared
a few months ago, has now run
through several editions. No finan-
CHI TlSh dpDcdIS 70 DC luCuTTtu III pun
fishing literature Of this sort 1t pays,
consequently men of talenta are enticed
TO wallow in the, slough. The pros
titution of the arts to the most sordid
aims was never more f~lagrantly appar-
ent in Paris than it is at the present
time. In addition to the ordinary sup
ply Of indecent literature intended for
French readers, a mass of literary OBJ
scenity has issued from the press this
summer by strangers attracted by the
exhibition.
And the fact is worth observing, in
asmuch as it is not at all TO the credit
of the Anglo-Saxon race, hat when
such putrescence is published in a
foreign tongue the language chosen is
invariably English. It must find
plenty Of purchasers or there would
not be such keen competition in sup
plying the market. The indifference
of the French legislator and the nation
generally to the disgrace that is insep-
arabic from the public display of all
this obscenity in the streets of the cap
ital is really astonishing. One is
forced TO the conclusion hat the spirit
of uncleanness must be strong in q
people who can tolerate the spectacle
of this %villainous traffic being carried
on with the same publicity as in the
sale of any other articles de Paris

A steam servant Girl.

Mrs, w. A. Cochran, of Shelbyville,
Ind, has placed her name on the role
with the great inventors of the world,
the result of her genius being a practi-
cal dishwashing machine. She began
experimenting ten years ago. Her
husband left her financially unable
for a number of years TO complete her
undertaking. By the aid Of friends,
however, she finally succeeded, and
has q machine designed to do the work
now done by the thousands of girls
and women the land over. The ma
chine is wonderful and intricate. 1t
is madein different sizes, for families
and hotel purposes. 1t is also made
both for hand and steam power, and
is capable of washing, sca1ding, rims
ing and drying from five TO twenty
dozen dishes, Of all shapes and sizes,
in two minutes, the number, of course,
depending on the size of the machine.
Mrs. Cochran has recently disposed Of

featuring firm for a large sum, and
will receive agood royalty on all ma

A story about being identified at a
bank is related of a Kentuckian whose
farm was adjacent TO a river. There
he raised fruit and vegetables and in
stead of sending them to market by
the railroad or in his wagon he built a
raft on which he loaded the produce
and hoated the whole crop down the
stream to the big city. There he had
no difficulty in disposing of the entire
load at good prices, and in payment
he received q check for a handsome
amount A check was only SO much
worthless paper in the place where he
lived, and SO before going homo the
raw boned Kentuckian entered q bank
to have it cashed. He was dressed in
a suit of brown jeans, his whiskers
were unkempt, and his general APP

cashier looked at him doubtfully.

AN oLD-TIME ELECTION.
Spring Hill was Elected VoIusia's
County Seat in 1869.

County Seat in 1859.
In the Clerk Office there is a rough
little box about Axe inches in size, made
from cypress shingle. The box has
top, which is fastened to it by leather
strap, which acts as a substitute fol a
hinge. A hole is cut in the edge of the
lid, and another through the top edge of
the front side of the box, and through
these holes pass the "neck" of rusty
old paddock half as big as the box itself.
This is a fair sample of the ballot box
es used in the memorable county seat
election of December 80, 1859, at which
time Spring Hill, situated about mile
south of DeLand, was chosen as Vo-
lusia's county seat.
The ballot box above described con-
tains at this time 80 ba llots-26of which
are for Spring Hill and l3 for Enterprise.
The ballots are slips of paper, upon
which are written the places voted for
and the names of the voters.
The records show that in the whole
county there was but seven precincts,
and that in these precincts 81 votes
were cast for Enterprise and "a for
Spring Hill. But the county commits
sioners decided that not sufficient
number of votes had been cast to con-
tistute legal election, but where they
got the law upon which to base this de-
cision the records sayeth not.
