A Very Good Trick.

On a dry day rub with brush or
with the hand thin piece of paper;
it will become electrified in a short
time and will adhere to your hand,
your face or your coat as if it had
glue on it, and you will not be able
to get rid OF it.
Electrify in the same manner a
thick piece of paper, a postal card,
for example, and you will see that as
with sealing wax, glass, sulphur or
resin this card can attract light bodies
(small pieces of cork, etc. Balance
a cane on the back of a chair and
wager anyone in the audience that
you will make it fall without toucll-
ing it, blowing on it or moving the
chair.
All you need dois to dry the card
well before the fire, rub it vigorously
with your sleeve and put close to one
end of the cane, which will follow
it as iron follows magnet, until hay-
ing lost its equilibrium. the cane will
fall to the floor. Qhurchman.

The Man The Printer loves.

There is a man tho printer loves,
and he is wondrous wise whene'er
he writes the printer man he dottetl
all his is. Aud when he's dotted all
of them, with carefulness and ease, he
punctuates each paragraph, and
crosses all his t's, Upon one side
alone he writes, and never rolls his
leaves; and from the man of ink .
smile and mark insert receives
And when a question he doth. ask
taught wisely lie hath been-he doth
the goodly penny stamp, postage
back, put in. Ho gives the place
from which he writes-his address
the printer needs and plainly writes
his honored name, so. he that rlnneth
reads. He writes. reSises, reads,
correct and rewrites all again, and
keeps one copy safe, and sends one
to the printer man. And thus by
taking little pains, at trifing care and
cost, assures himself his manuscript
will not be burned or lost. And so
he speaks through all the land, and
thousands hear his word, and in the
coming day shall know how much lie
served the Lord. So let all those
who long to write, take pattern by
this man, with jet black ink and pa
per white, do just the best they can;
and the printer man shnll know, and
bless them as his friends, all through
life's journey as they go, until that
Journey ends. - Er.

In the eastern part of the State the

recently been purchased with view

that the outcrop is on the Potomac

stood on the railroad track at the foot Of
Seventeenth street yesterday afternoon
just as train approached, and Glenn n
MougiD, the old fagmsn, called his at,
tention TO his danger, Anderson. how
ever, was just "full' enough to be ugly
and he returned evil for good by abusing
the lagman. The latter then pushed
him from the track, Anderson then at.
tackled Mougin with stick, and the flag
man retalisted with his flag stick. The
moulder was the stronger, however, and
soon had the hagman down, but
at this juncture Comstock, the
wrestler, came along and grasping the
moulder by the neck and heels he tossed
him down the river bank. When he re-
covered himself he was sober and had
forgotten all about fighting entirely.

The brick work at the syndicate power

company, arrived from st. Louis to in

Managing Director D. Fl :. Louderback
OF the syndicate system, and also of the
Rock Island & Milan railroad. was seen
this morning with reference to the rumor
of his contemplated change in the pres
ent route of the latter road in this city,
that is, abandoning the present line from
First avenue and Seventeenth street to
Seventh avenue and Eleventh street. and
seeking rights to construct a line from the
corner of the latter street and Seventh
avenue due north to Fourth avenue, and
| thence follow the syndicate track east to
Fifteenth north to Third and over the
bridge line tracks 10 Nineteenth and
oyer the Elm street branch track to Sec
ond avenue, forming loop around the
Harper house corner and following the
Second avenue tracks back to Eleventh
street Mr.. Louderback stated that he
had contemplated such an arrangement,
and it was not unlikely that he would
seek from the council the necessary priv.
ileges to make it.
The idea, however, does not appear to
De popular one, as the proposed
change would involve the abandonment
OF the present track on Seventeenth street
and Seventh avenue to Eleventh, and
the city be deprived of facilities which
would nor be met by the trackage sup
piled. The Rock Island council has al
ways been friendly toward the syndicate
in the past and probably will be in
the future, where reasonable rights
are asked for. Indeed, Rock Island has
shown spirit of encouragement to
the Chicago capitalists that has
not been characteristic of either
Davenport or Moline, and so far it has
no occasion TO regret its liberal public
policy toward these enterprising gentle
men. but there is wide difference to.
ward extending the street railway ad.
vantages Of city and curtailing them.
There can be no objection to giviHg the
syndicate ell the additional rights on
Eleventh or any other street that it may
wish. 1t has given the city good return
for the right already gwen it, but The
council should. and doubtless will, con-
slider well the result before taking an,
action that will include the abandonment
or curtailng of any of the railway facil
