Eighteen hundred and ninety is the year that will
probably determine the result OF the presidential

"Ephrum's'' Incredible Meanness.

Down in Washington county heard of
an old fellow, a venerable octogenarian,
who had seen his molars depart one by
one, while his CANNES and incisors fol
lowed in mournful procession, until old
age found him bereft of all his early as
sistants in mastication. Awhile ago he
visited dentist in d neighboring town
and announced that he had concluded to
invest in a set of false teeth, and at once
began to discuss the financial points in
volved. During the discussion he ex-
planned why he was compelled at this
late hour to make such adventure eyer
see," said the old man, webbing his
toothless jaws, II ben a-needin' suthin'

gustedly, "sence way back in the seven

Cincinnati building Associations.

The building association interest in
this vicinity is at this time more than
ever before in need of a central ex-
change. Many of the savings societies
in Hamilton county have accumulations
Of money not invested. These idleaccu-
mutations vary in amounts from 81 900
to $4,000. OF the $40 building associa-
tons in this vicinity probably fifty have
at all times idle capital, and fair aver
age of the amount on hand would be
$4,000 for each one, or $4,000 in all,
which at 6 per cent per annum would
be $4,000 actual loss annually to the
building association fraternity by reason
of non-invested funds If there existed
an exchange supported by all the 'asso-
Citations in this vicinity then the idle cap
ital of the one could be diverted to ex-
cess needs Of the other, and the profit on
the loan would remain i'll the building
association circle and not go outside to
the banks. The cost of supporting such
an exchange, including rent, clerk hire,
gas, fuel, etc, would not exceed &, 900 a
year, or less than $40 for each associa-
ton, ard would accomplish the saving of
$4,000 year for the fraternity. A move
ment looking forward to the establish
ment of the central exchange has begun.

A Dove luncheon.

A well known society woman has de-
veloped a really new idea in the way of
"dove luncheon" 1t has long been de-
clared by the lady's circle of friends that
she closely resembles the portraits of
Marie Antoinette, and taking this as
suggestion she entertained last week a
dozen friends at what she called Louis
Seize luncheon. The hostess herself was
dressed in a gown that faithfully copied
one of the unfortunate queens, and each
of the guests had chosen some other fa-
nous woman Of that period of famous
women, whom she personated in cos
tune and couture. The adjoining of the
table and the service of the luncheon
was made as consonant as possible with
the rest of the affair, and the topic
chosen for conversation was the women
of the French revolution.-NewY York

rsi, Into : : pen Of SNAKES.

Prospectoxs in Winston county hAd
most exciting encounter with reptiles,
the particulars of which have lust be-
come known. 1t is well known that for
years a snake den has existed in that
county, and travellers have told of the
remarkable number Of huge snakes to be
seen under certain rock. Climb up to
the rock above the den, and seemingly
thousands of snakes appear below, with
ing about as if in agony, entwined about
each other in an Understandable mass. If
stone is dropped down into this den an
odor arises which, it is stated, almost
renders those above unconscious.
A party of prospectors visited this not
ed den and one Of them, having heard
the story of the sickening odor emitted
from these reptiles, concluded to test it
and dropped stone. The odor was
more sudden than usual and stronger
than ever known before. and the pros
pector, it appears, being unable to re-
pei its effects. became dizzy and fell into
the snake den below. His Mortified
companions looked over the precipice
then supposed that he was killed. But
when he struck the shelf of rock which
was occupied by the snakes he rolled off
and fell, his body striking the branches
of a tree, where he lodged. AS he fell
from the den it was seen that snake
was clinging to his arm, another around
his body, and still another around his
leg, but in some almost miraculous way
these were all knocked off by the branch
es of the tree which he fell into
His companions ran at once to the bot
tom of the mountain, then went back to
the tree, which they climbed, and found
the unfortunate man alive, but uncon-
scious. They took him to neighboring
cabin, and it was found that, while he
was considerably bruised and had bro
ken arm from the fall, none of the snakes
had bitten him in any exposed part of
the body, and he was not injured by his
thrilling experience except, as stated,
from the fall.-Alabama Cor. st. Louis

EXHIBITING THE FREAKS.

The old mermaid maker has passed
away, but examples Of his work are often
seen either iR grog shops along the har-
Dor streets in shipping towns, in old tav-,
erns and occasionally in museum The
mermaid is generally an adjunct of the
side show, or second rate circus. Such a
one recently saw. 1t was of large size
and kept in tank of water. A spirited
painting on canvas depicted beautiful
maiden, half fish, floating upon the
waves, while the young man who stood
by shouted his story of tie Lady of the
Seas, unconsciously, we will assume,
giving the impression that the mermaid
was alive and frisking about the tank.
The little Enclosure was well patron
lied, and it was curious to listen to the
comments of those who paid the required
dime. 1t was holiday, and young men
and women were searching for some ex-
cuse to spend their earnings. When ten
or twelve victims had gathered the pro-
prietor would wink at friend, borrow
his cane and begin lecture remarkable
for the exact repetition of its points, in
which he explained that the mermaid
was half fish and half human, and had
been captured in some foreign sea and
brought to America at enormous ex-.
pense. AT least one-half the people who
gazed at the mermaid evidently had
suspicion that it was fraud, while
third accepted it as fact and expressed
their amazement and wonder at it, all of
which shows that with all our educa-
tlonal advantages we are still credulous
perhaps to an extreme.
One of the most skillful workers in this
uncanny art was well known to US, and
from whom many hints as to the ways
which are dark were obtained. In sew
eral large popular unscientitic museums
of the country remarkably hideous mer-
maids are exhibited, generally under
glass cases, while with them is offered a
paper purporting to be the testimony Of
the captors. 1t is remarked that in many
cases the names signed to these papers
are not fictitious but evidently given in
good faith. There is but one assumption,
that either the men were bribed or de-
ceived.-Cor. Philadelphia Times.

To Obtain Sleep.

Among the various remedies for sleep
lessness lately advised is that in which
the subject, after taking deep inspira-
ton, holds his breath until discomfort is
felt, then repeats the process second
and a third time, this being, as rule,
enough to procure sleep. A slight de-
gree of asphyxia is thus relied on as q
soporific agent, but the theoretical cor
rectness of this method is somewhat open
to question. London Lancet.
