When William Lloyd Garrison began, at
the age of 20: to publish the, Free Press, he

Indifferent poetry to read. ALI the local
poetasters who thought they could make
verse and would have been far more worth

with their halting contributions. But one
day the papers drag-net brought up a
pearl. Thus Mr.. Garrison tells the story:

found it contained an original piece of
poetry for the Free Press
"The ink was very pale, the handwriting
very small, and having at that time hor-

The landlord, bewhiskered little old

merry twinkle in his gray eye, threw up
his hands and said:

Asbestos Cloth FOR Napkins.

Asbestos cloth used to be manufactured
by the ancients, and used for napkins. As
such cloth was incombustible, instead of
washing it when necessary, they used to
simply throw it in the fire, and take it out
when cleansed. This was much simpler
than using water, for there was no necessity
of drying the napkins after having cleaned
them, an advantage that many housewives
of to-day would appreciate.

us recognize the stomach as necessary to

little trouble from this source occasionally,

involving the liver and bowels, whence we
find blliousnesS and constipation. We find
also that the bowels and kidneys (nature's

The explanation lies in the fact that

and proportion, simple enough to work
out, shows us that line from the center of
the earth to the end of Cass Lake, the most
northerly point of the Mississippi, is about
28 miles, or in round numbers three miles
shorter than one from the center of the

The States. as we know, elect their Con-
gressmen as they see fit. In some of the
States all the Congressmen are elected by
districts; formerly in other States, most Of
them were elected by districts, and one or
two were elected by the whole State. In
some of the new. States, the population Of
which is not great enough to be entitled to
Congressman, under the Constitution one
Congressman must be chosen; and he is
taken from the State at large-not from any
district, that is. So with Electors at large;
they generally represent the Senatorial
votes in the Electoral College, and though
of course they must come from one of the
districts, are not counted as coming from
one of them. but as being chosen from the
State at large. We have also cadets at large
in the naval and military academies; they
are appointed by the President, and do not

Everything is going along smoothly for
Corbett battle. Public feeling is becoming
very strong on the matter and it is safe to
say that there will be more public interest
in the battle than there has been in any
other in this country. Reports from the
training quarters of the men are extremely
cheering, but of course, we couldn't expect
anything else. 1t is surprising NOWADAYS
to notice the efforts made to let the public
know about what this man and that man in
training is doing in the way of wonderful
teats- 1t used to be that trainers and
hackers were always eager for the public to
think their man or men were doing no coed
at all in order to secure good betting. How
things have changed to be sure and how
interesting are the causes of these changes.
During the last few days very strong
public feeling has developed favorable to
Corbett's chances of victory. A large num-
Der of people are beginning to think that
his height and reach and activity may have

ascribed the deaths Of his immediate prede-
