attempt to jot down brief synopsis of
the doings of the week.
John Jeffery has gone on a trip to
Illinois.
Mr.. Salter is in Chicago this week
on business.
Mrs. f. NJ. Scott is able to be out
again, after long siege of sickness.
II. G. Leland, who recently sold out
his saloon business here will move to
st. Johns.
A little son of J. +. Willetts fell
from fence and broke his arm one day
last week
John L. Mathews thinks he has the
best Goldstone colt in the county, and
we think he has.

has been sick for several weeks, is

Center street has been improved this
week by W. f. Thompson and DR..
Weller moving their fence back on the
line.
Ed Rowell, former clerk at the
Retain House, but now resident of
York state, is in town this week visit
ing his brother John.
DR.. Barber has just completed one of
the finest horse barns in the county.
1t is supplied with all the modern con
veniences, and adds not little to his
place.
Farmers are beginning to complain
of drouth, and say if it should continue
much longer, the present fine prospects
for an abundant harvest will be mater
tally iessened.
Work on the Methodist Church is be-
ing pushed vigorously, a large force of
men being employed. When complet-
ed this will doubtless be one of the fin
est houses of worship in the county.
Arrangements are being made for
the proper observance of Memorial Day
the G.. A. r., w. r. c., and citizens
generally working together 10 make
the occasion one long to be remem-
bered.
Geo. p. Stone and 1. n Cowdry have
each purchased twelve acres of land
just east of the village, and will erect
residences thereon. When George gets
settled on his new farm" what will be
the matter of his joining the P's of Is?
The question of putting in electric
lights, which has been agitating the
citizens, and with which the council
has been tusseling for some time past,
was finally decided last week, that is
the council decided by vote of four
to two that we should not have electric
lights. Consequently we shall be
obliged to trudge along by light of the
old lamps, which, by the way, are little
better than trio of lightning bugs on
a dark night.

A Cremationist En.L.

According to the Jewellers Review
the latest craze is to order ones crema-
ton urn and use it rs an ornament till
it should happen to be wanted. All the
large china shops confess to having had
several orders lately, while silversmiths
have been equally favored. An en-
thusiastic ''cremationist" has couple
of delightful little old silver urns which
ornament his sideboard, and should any
guest happen to admire they are told
that those are for their hosts ashes,
which are to be divided and sent TO two
valued friends in these fascinating little
cases.

management
When the network of state railways
was created in Franco, 1t was intended
TO serve as an example of economical
management and efficient working for
the great companies. Whether these
expectations have been realized saws
the London Railway News, mey be
judged from the results obtained in
1880. By purchases of lines originally,
and subsequent extensions, the state
network now forms total of about
1850 miles. Their cost was about 800, OoO,-
600, francs, and the receipts last year cx-
ccedcd the working expenses by .25s,-
G97 francs. The net revenue on capital
was consequently n little over 1 per
cent, and as the purchase money wac
raised by the treasury at "A per cent. In
Guiding the sinking fund, the actual
loss on the year was nearly $4,000, 600
francs. The proportion of working ex-
penses to receipts was 70}9 per cent,
while those Of the great companies
ranged from IL to SIS per cent 1t must
be admitted thet NIL the great trunk
lines belong to the companies, but they
have also a number Of secondary lines,

loss, the construction of which WIS i'm
posed ON them. The companies, how
ever, pay n large sum to the state In
form of stamps on their shares and do

dends, etc.. while the state lines yield
nothing. The experiment con scarcely

One Of the most precious relics of the
past Is a bronze statuette dug mp at Her
culaneum in 1851, and thought to be "A
copy OF the equestrian statue known to
have been made Of Alexander the Great
by Lysippus, after the battle of the Ora
%nicus, when statues of all the brave who
fell in this initial victory were made by
the famous sculptor. If it is truly a
copy of LysippHs' work we can judge
from it how the Macedonians managed
their horses in a h~and-to-hand conflict.
The king is shown sitting ON a blanket
firmly held in place by a breast strap
and girth. Without dropping the reins
from his bride hand he grasps this sub,
stitute for n saddle at the withers, and
turning full half way TO the right and
looking backward, gives a swinging cut
with his sword TO the rear, covering as
big an arc of the circle as the best
swordsman who ever sat in a saddle.
The statue is full of life and natural
to a degree. If not Lysippus' work. it
is that of n consummate artist. The po-
sition shows great freedom of movement
on the horse, and n seat strong and elias
tic. That the Macedonians kept their
heels well away from the horses TANKS,
or rather that they did not rely on their
heels to cling to him, is shown by their
commonly wearing spurs, a thing the
Indian usually avoids, and the same
habit shows clearly in this piece of art

The hair, like every other portion of
the human frame, IL uncared for will go
to waste and eventually drop out. This
is due to a splitting of the ends of the
hair, so that the interior oil duct which
nourishes the hair is exposed. and the
natural nOurishment of the hair runs to
waste, overflows upon the head, forming
dandruh, which impedes the growth Of
the hair Just as much as the tares among
wheat. The best means to prevent this
is a strengthening of the hair, and this
can easily be accomplished by frequent
cutting and the use of salt water and
vaseline.
Have you ever noticed what bushy
hair seafaring men have? Did You ever
see n bald sailor2 1t is because their
hair is in constant contact with the in
MIGRATING salt air, and is often wet with
salt water. A good tonic of salt water
should contain a t%easpoonful of salt to a
tumbler of water, and should be ap-
piled to the hair two or three times a
week. The effect ut the end of a month
will be surprising American Spectator.
