JAPANESE OATHS.

A japanese journal, describing the
manner ofswearing witnesses In native
courts, says that the japanese hold a
mans seal much more sacred than his
word Hence his oath is written out
and read to him in open court, after
which he atfixes his seal to it. Like
wise his testimony. after it Is In. Is re-
duced to writing by the clerk, read to
the witness, who makes any correc-
tions in it that he sees fit. after which
he is requested To put his seal to it be
fore he leaves the court. This method
of taking evidence consumes some
time. but it leaves no room for steno-
grapher's errors.

CUTE OLD FARMER HEAGLE

Old Farmer Heagle, in Chemung,
needed water for his stock and began
to sink we'll 1t was q labOrious OPP
Grafton Gradually the work neared
completion and its success seemed as
smed. Alas! one day, just as he was
putting on the finishing touches, the
well caved in, and the labor Of weeks
came to naught For a few moments
Farmer Heagle beat his breast and
tore his hair in mute despair Then
he had an inspiration. He took off his
coat and hat and carefully laid them
on the brink of the ruined we'll Then
he secreted himself under q neighbor-
ing haystack and awaited develop
ments. Soon a neighbor passed the
place and went to tho well to inspect
it. He discovered the precarious con
pition, and, seeing Heagle's coat and
hat near by, naturally concluded that
the unfortunate man had been engulf
ed Ia the ruin and was now lying at
the bottom OF his we'll Impelled by
a feeling of humanity, he ran to the
neighboring farmhouses and gave the
alarm. The news spread like fash,
and before long a vast concourse of
farmers had congreeated around the
spot With picks and spades they
dug away at the well until they had it
completely excavated. 1t was a long
and laborious piece of work, but sym
pathy for the unfortunate man and
an earnest desire to rescue him lent
strength to the laborers. At length
the task was completed and the well
dug out. There was no vestige Of
Heagle After searching for him III
vain the tired workers went home.
Then Heagle emerged from his hiding
place, thankful that human sympathy
had not entirely died out from the
! face OF the earth

AN ENGINE TO REACH THE
NORTH POLE.

An Athenian professor OF mathema-
tics named Damaskin has invented an
ice locomotive, which he expects will
carry him to the North pole. He has
given an order for the construction Of
a large locomotive after his pattern,
and is now calling for volunteers to
accompany him to the Arctic ocean.
The locomotive is to have unique
arrangement by which itlays and takes
up the rails as it runs. Short spikes
on the underside OF the rails will made
the latter temporarily fast in the ice
The locomotive will be operated by
steam and at the same time will throw
out enough heat to keep the travleer5
from suffering from the cold. One
cab, attached to the locomotive, is to
carry the provisions for the exploring
party. The locomotive and cab will
be conveyed in parts to Spitzbergen,
Prof. Damaskin says, and viii there be
put together 1t will then be run for
the North pole at the rate OF thirty
miles an hour. As Spitzbergen is
about 600 miles from the North pole.
Prof. Damaskin expects to reach his
destination in twenty hours. He al
lows eight hours for his observations
and twenty hours for returning, SO
that the whole trip, Spitzenbergen and
return, viii be made in just two days.
Prof. Damaskin hopes to be ready to
start on the journey late III September
or early in October.

a ROMANCE.


She was fair-and my passion begun!
She smiled-and | could not but love.
But when from afar detected eatWTh
No beauty my passion coald move.
In despair she sought doctors in VAN,
Till she learned of "Humanity's boom
Now her bTeai h is sweet as the dew
Which falls upon roses in June.
Tonight. as we sit in our home,
and l kiss hersweet lips Ger and o'eT.
We bless DR.. Sage in our bliss,
For the joy that he brought to our door.
There is no diseaSe-more trying tC
friendship than catarrh! The con,
slant effort to clear the throat and
nose, the foul breath, all the features
of the disease, make it as much
dreaded by the friend as by the victim
Humanity has cause to bless DR.. Sage
for his "Catarrh Remedy" The
manufacturers offer to forfeit $500 for
any case they cannot cure.

TOMBSTONE, ARR, Iuly IA reason
able solution has at last been given to
the many mysterious happenings that
have for long time been reported
from what is known as the Haunted
Glen" near this city. This glen is
about seven miles north of here, and
has been looked upon as one OF the
greatest natural curiosities of the con
tinent. One of the most remarkable
things is that when person lies down
III the glen he hears whispering of
voices apparently close to his ear.
Sometimes he can hear words and at
times get entire sentences. An inves-
tigation by scientists has shown that
the apparently mysterious happenings
in the glen are due purely to natural
causes. The peculiar construction of
the glen brings the sounds from GER
tain ranch near by onto the place in
the shape of whispers, as was proved
by stationing a person at the point in
dicated and recording what was said.
The Goodness is caused by the fact
that the sun has never shOne in the
glen, and the movement of light arti-
eles are caused by the constant rush
ing of cold air toward the exterior.

ter to the people OF our county of
the Importance Of taking some &C.
ton in the matter
What are we going to do concern
ing the proposed celebration of the
four hundredth anniversary OF the
discovery of America? The chief
Executive of the United States
has proclaimed the day q National
holiday. 1t will be observed with
appropriate ceremonies in nearly
every city of the country. Shall
we be behind the others in our evil
aences of patriotism and national
pride. Yhe task of securing q pro-
per celebration will not be a diff
cult one. Numerous societ es have
already evinced a willingness to
participate in apublic ceremony, and
it remains only for ublic-spirited
citizens to take the initiative and
draw all classes of our people into
the movement. We hope to see q
proper celebration of the day.
