An hour glass is made smallest in the

not expect to get it unless he advertises.

Committee of the Y. N. C. A. will be held /

o'clock pm, to make arrangements Tor

requested to be present.
Parents, put your boys to work or keep
them at school-anywhere but loaiing,
swearing and smoking on streets. You
little know when they are from under your
eye what excesses they are guilty of. Don't
let your boys loaf on the streets unless you
are in favor of keeping the penitentiary
full.-E1.
The water of this town at present
looks and tastes as though all the manure
piles north of town were draining into the
creek. Our people are pleased to learn
that there is to be no increase in rates, as
reported, and they would be delighted to
learn that some effort would be made to
filter the water.

Almost every city paper that you
take up nowadays contains Illustrations
of natural monstrosities on exhibition at
some museum or other public place, and as
such shows are disgusting and liable to
work injury, they should be prohibited.
The laws of some civilized nations go
further than that, and require the at
tending physician to bring about the death
of m monstrosity at its birth.
Here is a new and novel method of
ascertaining the age of a horse: After
horse is nine years old wrinkle comes on
his eyelid, at the upper corner OF the lower
lid, and every year thereafter he has one
well defined wrinkle for each year of his
age over nine If for instance, horse has
three wrinkles, he is twelve, if four, thir-
teen. Add the number of wrinkles to
nine and you will always get at it,
We see it stated that the Economic
Society has decided to accept the Kore sh-
an doctrine, which is that the time IS not
distant when man will multiply without the
the intercourse of the sexes. Down in
Virginia, before the war, some smart fel-
lows started in to make Niger babies out
old rubber shoes, as an offset to the Con-
necticut nutmeg factory, bat the whole
thing failed because the hair on the babies
heads wouldn't grow kinky.
Relative to the scarcity and high
prices of hard d-wood lumber the Erie
Herald saws: "Black walnut and cherry
have had their day and are nearly out of
the market Oak lumber that few years
ago could be bought for from $40 to SIS is
now worth from $50 to $50, and at the
rate it is being slaughtered will soon be
hard to get at any price Inventors will
have to bring out something to take the
place of hard wood before long"
A most remarkable case in current
criminal an4als is that OF Philadelphia
rascal who attempted to escape arrest by
counterfeiting death. Several tests were
applied in order to produce some signs of
life, but the desperate man bore the iab-
bing of pins and the shock Of cold water
without a single muscular movement.
When the full force CT an electric battery |
was applied to his barred soles the dead
man became very vigorous and active be-

"A Pittsburg architect designed the
cornice Of certain building Of this town.
to be built of brick and hang over the side |
walk eight inches, or the full length of |
brick. The bricklayers tried to put it in on |
last week, and on Friday afternoon a por-
tion of it containing about 1000 brick fell
to the sidewalk Fortunately, no person |
was passing at the time, but the incident |
illustrates the necessity of the town en- |
ploying building inspector to whom all
plans of brick or stone business buildings |
should be submitted for approval or reject
ion.
The early bird has southwark gone
To spend the winter term,
And gives the early chestnut now
A chance to catch the worm.
