A Study of the Mysteries of Life.

In world where it is very desirable to
be entertained and not always easy to find
entertainment there is a great deal to be
got out of discreet consideration of the
mysteries of life. They give one something
to theorize about in odd moments, and to
have theories about them gives one an in
terest in whole series and classes of facts
which seem to fit in with such theories or
to upset them If the facts won't fit the
theory, then there is the theory to change,
and to have ones theory driven into a new
shape is the next best thing to having it
justified.
There was little tale in the newspaper
the other day about Mr.. Edison, that he
held up his finger and bent it and asked,
"What does that" Failing to get salts
factory reply, he said he was trying to find
out what is the force that pulls the strings
that make animate creatures move That
is one of the great mysteESes-the mys-
terry of motion. IT is that, we are told,
that Mr.. Keely, the motor man, has
been brooding over for several decades
past Mr.. Keely's experience has not been
such as to encourage any poor man to the
orize on this subject for q living; never
theless, it is a great subject for mind to
dwell upon in its leisure moments.
Sir Isaac was thinking about it when the
apple fell and gave him an idea that was
of value to him, and has been useful ever
since There is always this advantage
about having ones mind run on something
in particular, that even if it does not bring
down what it is aimed at it is more likely
to hit something else that is worth while
than if wandering aimlessly.

Mr.. Francis Russell, who for many years
was sheriff substitute of Roxburgshirc,
mentions an extraordinary instance of the
increase of mice which occurred a few
years ago in the new plantation made by
order of the crown in Dean Forest, Glouces-
ter, and in the New Forest, Hants, Vari-
GUS plans were devised for the destruction
of the mice--traps were set, poison laid
and cats turned OUTPUT nothing APP
peared to reduce their numbers. 1t was at
last suggested that holes should be dug,
into which mice might be enticed, and SO
accomplish their destruction. Holes were
accordingly made about twenty yards
apart, and in the proportion of about
twelve per acre These holes were from
IS inches to 90 inches in depth, and feet
one way by ~ feet the other and were
much wider at the bottom, so that the YER
min, when once III, could not easily get out
again.
In three or four months at least 10000
mice were caught in this way, and, con-
sidering that large numbers were killed in
traps, by poison and by animals and birds
of prey, it was computed that the destruc-
ton of mice in the two forests would prob
ably amount to 200, 000.-Pall Mall Budget.

convention and designate how thedele-
gates from their state to the national con-
vention shall be chosen.
Fourth-When delegates are selected TO
the national convention their names and
postolfice address should be forwarded
Immediately to Robert Schilling, Mil
waukee, secretary of the national com
mittee, so that he will be able to prepare
roll of states before the convention
meets
Fifth-We caution the people to take
great care in selecting delegates to the
congressional, state and national conven-
tions. Select no one unless he is known
to be true to our cause, Take men who
have been tried and not found wanting.
We have already received word from
New York and Pennsylvania that the old
paroles intend to pack our primaries and
select delegates to the state and national
conventions who are not in sympathy
with our cause, and who will go there to
bring confusion and name Objectionable
candidates. 1t is also very important
that each state should have a full delega-
ton at the national convention, and for
this purpose we urge that at all meetings
called to select delegates to the national
cODN6DIlOil, anu UtlOIe SUN uGltSdOcS are
selected, collection be taken up to de-
fray the expenses of those who are unable
to go on their own account.
Sixth-We again urge upon you the
necessity of pushing the work. To do this
money must be raised. Therefore, we
kindly and earnestly ask all, when meet
ing in primal capacity on March 20, to
ratify the work done by the great confer
ence, that a collection be taken up to
promulgate our cause. Let the donations
from each individual be ever so small, if
each one will assist little it will, col
lectively, amount to great deal. For
ward all money to NJ c. Rankin, Terre
Haute, Ind, who will receipt for same.
We also ask the reform press to push the
work through tlfe columns of their pa
pers as much as possible. 1t will not do
to stop or to finch now. We must not
yield a single point or retreat an inch
from the position we have taken. This is
fight for our country, our flag and
homes, in which every producer is equally
interested.
The document is signed by H. E.
Taubeneck, chairman, Robert Schilling,
secretary; and M. G.. Rankin, treasurer

pies party.

The LAuse of Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass of, and it is only
when a case of full-aedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences
that neglect are fully realized. AS
preventive and positive cure for Coughs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting OF blood,
A asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages of consumption, use Elertd Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-
pepsia, Nervousness and all Bilious
Complaints, use Eilert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.

MEN WHO HAVE NO FEAR.
Story Teller Thinks That Some People
Cannot Realize Danger.

Courage has often struck me as rather
being the loss of something than the pos
session of something. OF course | know
hot brave man will walk deliberately
INTO death, knowing full well what he is
doing, but having made up his mind to do
il at any cost. 1t is no sign of cowardice
when a man sees that it is useless to die
when he might live with just as much
credit and honor to himself, and so refuses
TO walk into the jaws of death.
But there il the man who does not know
what fear is have seen in my life few
such men-men who would go into any
danger for the simple reason that they did
not seem to have the power to perceive
that what they did was likely to cost their
lives.
remember once in the late sixties | was
in town which was bad. There were some
men in that town whose actions were never
questioned and there were many lawless
deeds at which even the good citizens
shrugged theirshoulders- that was all.
A man came into the town who had the
mildest manner of any one whom l ever
saw. He was very tall, had broad shoulders
and huge fists, but his eye was of soft
blue and his smile was always friendly
One day two outlaws had been riding
around town, running things to suit them
selves. One of their tricks had been to ride
into barrooms and scatter people there
They were let alone at this amusement
until they both tired of it, for they We're
"bad men" and no one cared TO have them
begin savage attack on him.
When the two riders, inflamed with
brutality found the barroom charges too
fat for their tastes, they looked around for
other mischief to do. They found it in a
/ little store, which was a notion shop, drug
store and everything else They charged
it on the trot, and with spurs jingling, arms
waving and hoofs Gathering, in they went.
An instant later two screaming women
rushed from the place and ran down the
street. When the outlaws rode out to the
/ sidewalk they sat in their saddles and
howled like savages,
Now the mild hammered, blue eyed giant
coming down the street had seen enough
of the affair to understand what had hap
pened He stopped and looked at the two
mad riders for a full minute. The whole
affair was over The women had disap-
reared and the horsemen were sitting
there, still laughing. But the giant, walk
ing close to one of them, reached up quick
ly and took him by his coat near the
throat. He pulled the man from his saddle
as il he had been a sack of bran, and giving
him n terrific shake dashed him TO the
ground where he lay all in crushed
heap.
The other rider had seen all this at first
with look of stupid establishment, and
then with savage light on his face he
whipped out his revolver; but before he
could use IL the giant had snatched hin
from his saddle, and with one hand around
his throat and one gathering up the Eel
lows clothes low on his chest hs literallH

A certain lady has pet cat which sud
denly became lame some time ago, Dur
ing his lameness his mistress bought meat
on purpose for him every time the meat
cart came on her street. After his catship
recovered from his lameness this was
thought unnecessary, and only enough for
the family was purchased. The cat, how
ever, i'll contented with the scraps of cooked
meat coming from the table, resorted to
strategy. The next time the meat cart
came to the door, the cat began limping
and crying piteously. For several times
he has repeated this, his lameness only re
cgring with the weekly visits of the meat
