This is a small animal, but mighty
industrious. 1t has no settled place Of
abode. Like the Arab, it is a nomad.
1t has a seeming preference, however,
and that preference is in favor OF the
yellow dog. Why this is so is imma-
terial.
The flea is q great jumper. II can
ride along on the back of its favoritc
dog, and should you be five feet away.
with one bound it can clear the dis
lance and alight ON your coal collar.
and then with a dexterous handspring
it drops down behind your collar and
is lost to sight. II is an old saying
that "a thing must be seen to be ap,
preciated." 1t is not so with the flea. II
it was, the flea is so small that it
would never be appreciated. IA
man is known by his works." SO
is a flea You look at the delicate
tracery in the sculptured marble
shaft; that is a mans work. All at
once you feel an excruciating bite in
the middle OF your back; that is a
hea's work 1t is easy TO tell what's
biting you.
but it never kills its prey. 1t bites out
what it wants and leaves its victim TO
suffer. 1t never takes two bites in the
same place. 1t leaps merrily from one
spot 70 another, browsing us it goes,
its agility saving it from instant death
in many cases.
The humble little flea teaches us to
exercise patience under the most try
ing circumstances and not to despise
small things. 1t is not the easiest thing
in the world to smile and look pleas
ant and chat vivaciously while a flea
is doing just as it pleases on your
spine. Then is when you feel that you
were not built right.-Texas Siftings.

A correspondent who describes him

IF there is any trustworthy record
as To the origin and practice of kiss
ing. have been told he says.
that every tribe of people that have
been found anywhere in the world are
addicted to the practice. | should like
to know il that is so, and also who
were the first people to begin kissing
So far as our Investigations show,
the first kiss on record is the oscula-
tory salute between Isaac and his son
Jacob, mentioned in the 9th chapter
of Genesis; but it is not unreasonable
TO suppose that Isaac had kissed the
mother many times before lie ex.
chaned kisses with the son.
The ancient Hebrews seem TO have
reduced kissing to an exact science,
and TO have given it o nomenclature.
We find from the Old Testament that
they had the kiss OF homage, of sub
lection, OF reconciliation, Of approba.

ship, Of valediction, of gratitude and
manly OtAitio- We LIZ TCdQ III luS
Scripture Of hypocritical kisses, like
hat bestowed by Joab on Amasa
when abodt TO slay him; and worst
and foulest of all, Of the traitorous sa-
lutte by which Judas betrayed the ga
viour.
The primitive Christians inter.
changed kisses before receiving the
communion, as a token of religious
fellowship. An attempt was made
some years ago at a certain place OF
worship IN New York to revive the
practice, but owing to modern de-
generacy," or some other cause, the
kissing church" was far from being
a moral and religious c Scam
dal's envenomed tongue soon began to
wag against the brothers and sisters,
and the experiment was given up.
1t is not true that every tribe Of peo-
pie indulge in kissing. Some of the
lower tribes do not seem to know any
thing about that token of affection"
which is SO dear to the more enlight-
ened races. But among people who
have risen q little above the savage
state, it seems That kissing, as Dog

comes by nature. - New York

MANY efforts have been made to de.
sign Il burglar-proof safe that was really
burglar proof, and i, seems that at last
one has been secured. The great diff.
Guilty heretofore has been with the
square doors, which, owing 10 their ex-
pansion and contraction with the
changee Of temperature, could not be
made tight, snl it was a very simple
matter for burglar to pour glycegine in
around the door and blow it oil, only a
very small charge being necessary.
However, it is now proposed to use a
round door, which has the form Of n
huge screw, and which is screwed into
its place. This !pakes it impossible for
the burglar to get any explosive in
around the door. However, should he
succeed in getting in small charge, the
door could not be blown of because OF
its screw form, which Is Infinitely strong.
er than the square form. 1t is said that
no safe otthis class has ever been opened
in the many tests which have taken
place, while all OF the Standard makes
have been opened many times. The
screw door safes are being introduced
into this State by the Globe CONTRACT
Companyoi Wheeling.

.agNla Employs Engineers.
The Council Committee OH Contracts
met last night 10 employ an engineer to
draw specifications Tor the plans now
in existence for the SIain street bridge.
Mr.. Emsheimer moved to employ Mr..
+. V. Hoge to do the work and W. @.
Smith 10 assist him.
Mr.. Hamilton offered q resolution pro.
viding for commission to be composed
OF Capt. John Mcclure, Jere A. Miller
and Robert Simpson 10 supervise the
building Of the bridge and have charge
Of the details. The resolution further
provided that this commission should
advertise in the Wheeling and Pitts.
burgh papers for plans aud specifications,
the best TO be selected, and that 500
should be paid the engineer drawing the
second best set Of plans and 500 for the
third best,
1t was decided that tho committee Ind
no authority TO entertain such resolu.
ton, for the reason that tho resolution
from Council placing tho matter in the
committees hands specifies It's duties
and gives no latitude. Mr.. Emsheimer's
motion was put and unanimously adopt.
ed. Considerable discussion M to the
width Of the bridge aud the grades took
place, and brought out the fact that the
committee fears 1t has not enough money
TO build the kind Of n bridge It wants.
1t was 6nally decided that Nj. Noge
should provide in his specifications for a
iorty.six foot bridge, with thirty foot
roadway aud seven and one.lialf foot
sidewalks. This was estimated to cost
S02, 600, and 1t was expected that the re.
mainder OF the money would 10 need.
ed to pay damages to property at the
south end OF the bridge where tho grade
will be changed. Mr.. Hoge stated fol
the benefit Of the committee that The
grade from the Baltimore & Ohio tracks
on Sixteenth street to the centre of thu
bridge will be four feet in one hundred
and from there to Twentieth street two
and ono.half feet in one hundred.

Mention this paper.

Probably more money is spent in ad.
vertlsing than in any other single branch
OF the expenses Of the more prominent
business houses. Our merchants have
been rather backward about general ad-
vertis!ng, but there are signs that a
change is taking place. Take in the safe
business alone. Although there have
been thousands upon thousands Of dol
lars worth OF safes sold in this vicinity,
yet tits question whether one hundred
dollars was spent in advertising the
business before the Globe Contract Com
pany, the we'll known concern OF Wheel
ing, took hold Of it. In fact there had
not been up to that time, a stock OF safes
OF any kind in the State. This concern,
however, seems 10 believe in adyertis-
ing, and arc spending great deal OF
money in that direction with the result
that they are becoming the best known
dealers throughout the State. Ofcourse
it won't be long before the more active
dealersin other lines begin to appreciate
the advantages OF general advertising,
but it does seem queer that SO little has
been done heretofore in this direction.

New Store, 81 Twelfth street.


The rapid growth Of West Virginia is
making itself felt in many ways. Until
recently 1t was necessary for the larger
part OF our merchants to either make
their purchases from photographs and
small samples, or 10 take long trip to
one OF the large cities; but the growth
Of our business has now given rise to
such concerns as the Globe Contract
Company OF Wheeling, which now car.
rics as complete stock OF safes as there
is in the country, thus making it posi-.
Bile for our merchants to personally ex-
anime what they buy. This will save
them time and money, and will keep
within the State a great deal OF money
which has heretofore been taken out to
enrich others.

Tho Dlnsting ut the Martins Ferry Furnace

Tic UlnSting ut the Martins Ferry Furnace
.# still Goes on.
One chunk Of salamander weighing
over four tons was, blown out in one
blast at tho Benwood blast furnace at
Martins Ferry yesterday, and several
other good sized pieces removed. One
piece weighing six pounds and four
ounces was blown high up into the air
in a westerly direction, and fell on the
roof Of Exley's planning mill, almost 20.
ing through the roof, a distance of over
three blocks from the blast furnace.
This chunk was put on exhibition in
the window at the Postoilice news etand
and attracted much attention. One
piece, weighing about fifteen pounds,
fell at AlcCord's brick yard yesterday, a
distance OF 200 yards, and another good
sized piece fell in Lacey's yard, up the
pike about 500 yards, within three
leet OF where Mr.. Lacey was
standing. Smaller pieces fell
near the Cleveland, Lorraine 4 Wheel.
ing depot, Hopkins mould works, on
the Cleveland 4 Pittsburgh road, at the
Buckeye Glass Works, and in other
places. Howard Hopkins saw piece
fall, and picking it up burned his
fingers slightly. Others have had the
same experience. The salamander is
still hot, and this is the reason why it is
necessary to use dynamite instead OF
powder for blasting. Two, three and
four blasts are often made without any
effect on the salamander, and the men
in charge never know when it will let
go. When blast is effective, pieces of.
ten fly in every direction, as also do
railroad ties, which are piled on the sal.
amander when the blasts arc made. Yes
terday two-thirds Of n railroad tie was
hurled through one Of the openingsin the
casting house at the furnace, and lodged
near Mckim's machine works. and
pieces OF ties have fallen in different
places.
The blasting commences early In the
morning, and is kept up all day. The
earth trembles, buildings shake, win.
dows rattle, ceilings crack and plaster.
Ing falls off; ornaments a,e knocked of
mante!s, household goods from tables,
shelves, etc. People IRE frightened, and
it is the universal opinion TINT some
peraon will be killed before the work is
finished.
