Wanamaker's Monument.

Our esteemed contemporary, the journal
of Civilization, attributes to =" q friend OF the
Postma- ter. General" tho singular remark
concerning civil service reform hero quoted
"If spittoon cleaner dies the telegraph wires grow
hot with messages from Senators and Representatives
and party committeeman. bssieginI the fostmaster'
General OF the United States to appoint two or three
dozen men to tho vacant place He must either Insult
them all by peremptorly turning them down. or NO
must examine their respective ca.ms with care be-
fore maxim. his choice which nna'ly plsasss one sup-
plicant and angers all the rest"
The use OF an obsolete and vulgar term In
the passage quoted shows that the remark
attributed by Harper's Weekly to friend OF
tho Postmaster General Is the fabrication OF
an outsider. There nrc no "spittoon-clean-
ere" under Mr.. WANAMAKERs ndministra-
ton Of Post Offico affairs. There are no
longer any splttoons, or oven cusridors, In
that department OF tho Government.

Sickness and Superstition,

For the cure of epilepsy, or the falling
sickness, numerous are the charms that
have been invented. A very common
remedy among the poor people about
London, and particularly in Essex, was
to cut the tip of black cats tail in or
der to procure three drops of blood,
which are to be taken in spoonful of
milk and repeated three days success
lively. If the patient was informed of
the composition it lost its efficacy. The
patients also were to creep head fore
most down some three pairs of stairs
three times day for three successive
days.-London Tit-Bits.

Strange Lapse of Memory.

Cases of forgetfulness on matters of
interest are ON record. While DIR. Priest
ley was preparing his work entitled liar
mony of the Gospels" " he had taken great
pains to inform himself on a subject
which had been under discussion reia-
tive to the Jewish Passover. He wrote
out the result of his researches and laid
the paper away. His attention and time
being taken with something else, some
little time elapsed before the subject oc-
CURED to his mind again. Then the same
time and pains were given to the subject
that had been given to it before, and
the results were again put on paper
and laid aside. So completely had he
forgotten that he had copied the same
paragraphs and reflections before. that
it was only when he had found the papers
on which he had transcribed them that
it was recalled to his recollection. This
same author had frequently read his own
published writings and did not recognize
them.-Boston Herald

a Rheumatic superstition.

Rheumatism is caused by the deer or
by the measuring worm, the idea being
suggested in the latter case by the man
ner in which the measuring worm arches
his body in walking, which is supposed
to be like the contortions of rheumatic
patient. On no account must the patient
eat squirrel or touch cat, since the
manner in which these creatures arch
the back indicates an affinity with the
disease. Nor must he eat the legs of any
animal, since, as every one knows, the
limbs are most frequently affected with
rheumatism, and by eating the legs of
an animal the "disease spirit residing
there might be taken in.-Yeuth's Com

liver colored setter dog, which found a
snake of the rattler species, and that the
snake swallowed the dog. The hunters
killed the snake with Gatling gun, cut
him open with a butchers cleaver, and
that the dog jumped out all right, except
losing his bark; that the snake was two
feet thick and thirty-six feet long, and
had ninety-two rattles and button, and
the editor says it sounds little improb-
able, and it may be. But out on the

Innuence of a simple Invention.

One cannot always tell. until after the
event, on what apparently insignificant
act his whole future hinges. DIR. Cyrus
Hamlin, president of Middlebury college
in Vermont, and formerly of Maine, in
a recent address at Woodford's said lis
life depended on the making of screw.
When at Bowdoin college in 1882 he
made brass screw for Professor Smith, s
theodohte, and that led to his making a
steam engine, the first one built in Maine.
He had never seen one in all his life,
but he asked the professor if he thought
he could sell an engine, if he could make
one, for as much as he could earn by
teaching in the vacation. The professor
thought he could, he had made the screw
SO perfectly. So he went to Portland,
and went to work in a clockmaking es-
tablishment. At the end of ten weeks
vacation the engine was completed, and
sold to Bowdoin college for $175. He
could have earned but $40 teaching The
price of the engine was sufficient to pay
years expenses at Bowdoin in those
days.-Bangor News.

The schooI-master on Ton.

Hood River was stirred from center to
circumference Saturday, by the trial of
Mr.. Snyder the school teacher. The
school has the reputation of being the
hardest to manage of any in the county,
and the evidence Saturday showed that
its reputation was deserved. The cause
OF the teachers arrest was for whipping
an unruly pupil aged about thirteen. In
the course of the threshing splinter
from the switch penetrated the boys
arm nearly an inch running along under
the skin, and the boys parents thinking
this case of unusual and severe punish
ment had the teacher arrested. A large
number of the pupils were called as
witnesses, and all testified that the bov
when spoken to by the teacher had called
him - fool, while many put in evil
dence that he also made some statements
in terse English concerning the canine
character of the teachers maternal
ancestors. In response to inquiries from
the attorney for the state the children
swore that the culprit was ''no worse

reached verdict on the first ballot, and
that verdict was in effect that the teacher
didn't lick him half hard enough, that
the prosecution was malicious, and that
the costs be taxed to the complaining
witness. This was righteous verdict
and will perhaps have good effect on
the rising generation there, who seem to
have more desire to learn the tactics of
the prize ring than the double-rule-of
three. Mr.. Frank Menefee appeared for
