A Methodical Germans Record.

A methodical man died in Berlin a
few days ago, aged %. At the age
of 1s he began keeping record,
which he continued for fifty-two
years, and then closed with the
words: "Omnia, tentavi, multa per-
speXi. nihil perfect" This book
showed that in tifty-two years he had
smoked 62s,715 cigars, OF which he
had received 1862 as presents, while
for the remaining 5S5, he had
paid about $40, 433. During the same
period he had had IS pairs OF trousers
made "A coats and waistcoats, and 81
pairs OF boots. He wore out 29S
shirts and fronts, and, 1926 collars
In tram fares he spent not far from
s42s. In fifteen years, according to
his bookkeeping, he had drunk 2S.7s6
glasses of Bayarian beer, of which.
however, 21.26l were only small
ones. For this beer and sc, 0Sl glasses
OF cognac and spirits he spent SIS, $50.

A GRAND JURY in Connecticut has
indicted night telegraph operator
for criminal carclcssness in having
caused a wreck. His case is deemed
particularly worthy of rebuke for
that he was on duty only eleven
hours, seven days each week, and was
paid $50 per diem by a railroad
company that chose to be reckless in
libcrality rather than in the dcclar-
ing of dividends.

cord Or rope away back it will be
moved but slightly. The cause Of the
phenomenon is easily discovered. Be-
cause of the inertia the lower end of
the cord tends to remain still while
the part struck tends to move. The
result is that the end of the cord
rises and winds around the cane,
checking the blow completely. This
simple observation will explain the
little trick known as the magic or the
impossible wall.
Suspend series of these stout
cords or small ropes by stringing them
on broomstick, which you can sup
port by laying across the tops Of two
doors, as indicated in the cut.
Behind these cords thus suspended
place upon the floor any fragile object
even costly one-and defy one of
your friends, placed outside the wall"
to break that object No matter how
hard he strikes at it with his cane
across the ropes he will succeed in
doing nothing but getting wound up
in the cords and may strike as long as
he likes, he will not hit the article
aimed at.

Africa an ostrich which he doubtless
fondly hoped would become the
Queens constant companion. The
bird is rather an awkward but at the
same time very valuable pet. 1t is
remarkable chiefly for it's huge size
and dark color. How the bird comes
from region Of Africa not generally
recognized as the home Of the ostrich
does not appear-nor why it comes
to be Of such unusual size and color.
The Queens ostrich is computed at
many times the value of an ordinary
ostrich.

AN editor and druggist of Juneau,
Alaska, dragged the fair fame Of the
watermelon in the dust by injecting
into its pink and luscious core dose
Of poison, and then with smile SO
bland presenting the combination to
a neighbor whom they desired to re-
prove. Unluckily the scribe and piller
have up to date escaped hanging, but
they illume with the brilliancy of
their ideas the interior Of an other
wise rather gloomy Jail.

Society.

Society is advanced in proportion
as human nature is respected. 1t is
the misery of the present state that
man, as man, is counted so little
worth. A Just estimate of human
nature, Of its purposes, powers, des-
tiny, leading to general courtesy, re-
spect, and effort for advancement of
this nature in each and all-this is
the measure Of the progress of socie-
ty. The true organization Of society
is that in which all Improvements OF
the higher are communicated to the
lower classes, and inswhich intellect
and virtue descend and are diffused.

If gratitude, when extended
toward another, naturally produces a
very pleasing sensation in the mind
Of grateful man, 1t exalts the soul

this great object of gratitude to the
beneflcent Being who has given us
everything we already possess, and
from whom we expect everything we
yet hope for.

pretty fast travelling even for rail-

Certain it is that the great flyers

has yet to be reached as well.

In all philosophy you will find that
more is expected Of men than they

philosopher has been better than his

more beautifully than Seneca, but his
private life was infamous. In spite
Of his own weakness, he expected
heroic endurance of the people.

FIFTH edition.
The Levy Court.

While the Levy Court was in session
yesterday, 1t took time to 10 up stairs
and hold conference with the Grand
Jury in regard to increased room for
prisoners In tho New Castle jail.
The whole matter was thoroughly
discussed and no doubt something
will be done soon to relieve the over
crowded condition of the jail The
most OF the members OF The Grand
Jury seemed TO think that an addi-
tionai story of twenty cells would be
sufficient, but on the other hand it was
argued that another story costing
S10,0 900 to $4,000 would afford but u
temporary relief and after all new
and larger jail would bo necessity.
Levy Courtmqn Sutton advanced the
opinion that the present walls OF the
jail were not sufficiently strong to
bear third story, and In this opinion
he was backed up by such an exper-
fenced contractor and builder rs Ar
chlbald Given. Levy Courtman Hutch
isoh ventured the suggestion that the
people Of New Castle did not want a
big high jail in their midst, indeed
they were long ago tired and disgust
Ell with having their city made penal
colony for all the criminals of the
county.
The Grand Jury promised to take
tho matter under consideration, and
Will no doubt recon mend somo posi-
bio plan in their report.
Tho Court then returned to their
rooms and resumed the revision of the
county assessments, but being handl-
capped IN this by tho absence OF Mr..
