Senator-Elect Gear, OF Wyandot
county, who was one OF the few who
happened to. weather the storm and
come out on top after the political
cyclone last fall, has been heard from
and has scheme which he will spring
on the legislature, in which he wants
al! the canal property Of the state sold
except the Miami and Erie from To-
ledo to Cincinnati and the northern
division of the Ohio canal, from Cleve-
land to Dresden, and the proceeds to be
used in converting the two canals
named into ship canals Of sufficient
width and depth to permit the passage
of boats of heavy tonnage. This would
give direct connection between the
lakes and the Ohio and Mississippi and
it is estimated the cost will aggregate
about $2S, 100000.

The Toledo Blade is waging, or
attempting to wage, n mcrciless war
against the return of John Sherman to
the U. S. Senate, and resorts to any
thing, no matter how mean it may be,
to attempt to show that Sherman has
no right to be returned and that the
people do not want him. The Blade,
like all papers, and all people, has a
perfect right, and is in fact, in duty
bound to choose sides in matter of
this kind, and if the editors desire to
champion the cause OF Ex-Gov. Foraker,
it is right they have, with which no
one should attempt to interfere, but
we do not believe that that paper has a
right to attempt to belittle such
q man as the honorable John Sherman,
whose services to his country have
marked him as one of the greatest men
the world has ever produced. One
whom the people of every cline and
nation are pleased to recognize and
honor, and who is acknowledged by all
to be to America what Gladstone is to
England, and therefore we think the
Blade is only belittling itself by its
uncalled for and unwarranted attacks
upon Senator Sherman, simply because
Foraker wants Sherman's position.
The editor of the JOURNAL, like
every other editor, who has the sand,
has made his preference known, but
has not permitted the use of one word
of disparaging nature against
Foraker in this paper. 1t is not our
style of politics and we believe it is Il
poor way to conduct campaign.

The laws of health are taught in our
schools; but not in way to be Of much
practical benefit and are never illustrat-

cases could easily be done. If some
scholar, who had just contracted a cold

all could hear the dry loud cough, and
know It's Significance; see the thin white
coating OH the tongue and later, as the
cold developes, See the profusc watery
discharge from the nose. not one OF
them would ever forget what the first
symptoms of cold were. The scholar
should then he given Chamberlain's

Bowling Green's Councilmen must
be getting rather reckless and frisky,
and it might be said, extravagant.
The city has for fire engine, an old
pump mounted on wheels which they
expect their fireman to make use of.
The engine room has been used us n
store house for all the old junk of the
town, but the Council got on II ''randy"
the other night and hired man to
caulk up the engine, fire the old trash
lying about the building, ordered the
purchase of u few tack hammers and
things to use in tearing down brick
blocks in case of fire, .and then con-
cluded it would be we'll to get supply
of water sufficient to at least soak up
the engine(?l. They then adjourned
to the opera house and witnessed a
timber limbed danseus. sling her heels
at the dome OF tho house in manner
calculated to make the bald heads sigh
for u return of youthful ambition.
What's getting into the legislators
of our neighboring city? Have they
sworn off drinking the thick sluggish
water of their native town and COM
menced imbibing something more
sparkling?

AS will be seen by the ordinance
published elsewhere, the village of
Perrysburg, through the council, has
granted the right of way through the
village to the Toledo capitalists, rep
resented by John w. Barton, for II
street railway. The company expect
to commence operations early in the
Spring. and their contract calls for the
beginning of business by May. 1892,
and the completion of the road, and to
be placed in operation, by December,
lS94,-two years from the present
month. The cars are to be operated
by electricity, compressed air, or other
power than that of horse power. This
road passing along Front street will
make that thoroughfare more popular
than ever and people will take great
pleasure in the ride from Toledo to
Perrysburg for the purpose of enjoying
the beautiful scenery along the route
This road will bring to Pcrrysbure
many people from the city who have
long desired i residence in o. near thii
village along the river front, iUr b,
means of the rapid transit connection
with Toledo they can enter tn
city in season for all branches OF bust
ness.
The JOURNAL is informed that th
price OF transportation will probabl
be placed at about II cents for singl
faro. with reduction TO those buyin
communication tickets.
II is hoped nothing will interfeI
with the project and that the road wi
be put in operation us soon as possible

cussing the new tariff law, said that
since that law was enacted, he found it
impracticable to buy in Canada, on ac-

western farmers were getting 20 to %
per cent. more for the grade of horses
than they did before the new law was
enacted. Thus the farmer is receiving

NIeigs County Republican,: Here is
a tip for gardeners and all who love to-
matoes: In the fall Mr.. John Grogan
gathered IL basketful of sound, plump,
green tomatoes, and put them in his
cellar, as an experiment-he is always
trying experiments. Well, one day
last week he went down to see them.
He found them all ripe, juicy and sue
culent, as if fresh from the vine. He
bought them down town, and they
were taken to the table in a twinkle.
So now, if you want fresh tomatoes on
up to Christmas, or even later, try Mr..
Grogans's plan.

reriis of Circum stantial Evidence.

Dearborn street lawyer says: You ned
not give me the benefit OF az advertise
ment or the strength Of i., but | would
not so much on circumstantiai evidence il
was on Jury. Let me tell you story
as showing the perils OF forming an opin-
ion on circumstances. Four men were in
a restaurant taking luncheon One re-
lated story which was sufficiently inter
esting 10 warrant its repetition. The gen.
tleman who repeated il said he heard II IN
q hotel. Another who heard the original
story said il was told in restaurant. Is
was small point TO make, but out of is
grew a discussion which led to recalling
the four men together for the purpose Of
settling the point as 10 where the story
was first stold The man who hsd toldshe
story said he related il IN front OF the board
Of trade
Another one Of the party took issus
with him and said that they were ali in the
foyer Of Hooley's theAter when the anec-
dote was told. The third man said hs
would take his oath that they were all at
the club. The fourth man was positive
that 1t was told at the restaurant Each
one of the gentlemen is intelligent. above
the average in fact, each one is sober, each
fair and liberal, consequently not ape 10
lie stubborn IN his views; but in this case
they all differed and each was unusually
positive that he was right. And the story
was one which was so original that it
would seem that any one who heard 70
would have remembered every circum-
stance connected with it."-Chicsgo TEib-

THE GIANT PURSE CRAB.
He Climbs Cocoanut Trees and Cracks the
Nuts Against Stones.

Nuts Against Stones.
In the mining bureau may be seen a
very fine specimen of the remarkable
large land crab known as the purse crab,
or Birgus latro, which is well preserved
in d glass jar. This is one of the largest
species OF land crab known. 1t is some
times found from IS to 24 inches in
length when fully stretched out, and is
capable of erecting itself to the height
of nearly foot from the ground, which
it readily does if irritated, retreating and
exhibiting to the utmost its powers of
offense and defense.
1t is somewhat allied to the hermit
crab, but having the abdomen or tail
shorter, yet very large, on the under side
of which it carries its eggs in immense
quantities. Its under side is soft and
membranous, its upper surface covered
with strong plates, which overlap one
another as in Holsters. The first pair of
legs have large and powerful pincers;
the second and third pairs of legs are
terminated by single nail; the pair next
to them are a little smaller, with small
pincers; the pair Of legs nearest 70 the
abdomen are very small, but terminated
by rudimentary pincers.
When leased this crab is so powerful
in its first claws and legs as to be able to
cling to stick. and can hold its own
weight to be carried for over a half hour
before letting go, 1t can travel about as
fast backward as forward if pursued. It
is generally Of a yellowish brown color,
its limbs being, however, covered with
little blacfIsh projections.
1t is never found far from the sea, to
which it is said 10 pay visits in order TO
moiSten its gills, but it always resides on
land. and is generally found in holes IN
der the roots of trees. especially of cocoa
nut trees, which it prefers, and where it
accumulates great quantities Of the fiberS
of the cocoanut husks, as if TO keep itself
warm or for soft bed. As a general
thing the purse crab stays in these holes
during the daytime and comes out at
| night.
Its food generally consists of cocoa
nuts, also the nuts Of a species OF palm
known as Pandanus odorotismus, and
other nuts, which it climbs the trees 10
procure. cutting the cocoanut from the
tree with its heavy claws, and after it
has cut down two or three It descendS
and commences TO pull the husk from
them.
In its manner of dealing with cocoa
nuts it exhibits a remarkable instinct, as
1t always begins TO tear off the husk at
the end where the eyes are. It then
makes hole through the eye from
which the nut would terminate. This
IS done by striking the fruit with lis
heavy claw and breaking il sufficiently
to admit one OF the small legs, by which
a. scoops out the nut with Its small pin
GERS. Sometimes it SEXES the nut by

Hats and Heads.

It has been noticed by Mr.. Henry
Heath, who sends hats all over the world,
from Calcutta to Peru, that different ma
tionalities possess heads of distinctive
sizes and shapes. For instance, Germans
have very round heads, peculiarity
shared by our own royal family. The
average English head is what matters call
a good shape-that is, rather long. The
Scotch, one is not surprised to learn, are
very long headed. Canadians are dis
tinguished by exceptionally large heads,
South Americans by very small ones.
Australians, again, have rather small
heads. The subject is an interesting one,
and worth pursuing further if space al
lowed. The heads Of individuals also
vary a good deal from time to time,
shrinking during illness or mental worry,
and generally becoming smaller with ad-
vancing years. As to shape, there is
such thing as fashion, but it only affects
Washers; men stick 10 much the same
shape year after year.-Pall Mall Ga
