Bits of Old World News.

We take the following from an old
history book published in 1862. Itrecords
that in king Harrold's" reign "a blaz-
ing Star was seen for seven dayes space
all the Word over" Then a ''fearful
Comet appeared, which was look'd upon
las after it proved bad Omen" This
was in the year 1924. In the reign of
King John, 1904, several Prodigies
were seen," which brought terrible
storms of Thunder and Lightning with
Hail Stones as big as Goose Eggs which
destroyed Men and Women, besides Cat
tie and Cornfelds." London bridge was
crowded with people looking at great
fire, when ''the Violence of the Wind
took hold on both ends of the Bridge so
that the People could not pass either
backwards or forwards, and SO Barges,
Boats, ETC., coming to their Assistance,
the People thronged so indiscreetly into
them that the Boats sunk, and above
three Thousand Persons were drowned. {"

Polly Knew Who He Was.

Mr.. M, an old gentleman very
quick tempered and nervous, owned a
parrot which was very talkative. Be-
sides having this parrot he had an ap-
prentice who was very much afraid of
his master. The poor boy was called all
sorts of pet names by Mr.. NJ, such
as fool, blockhead, sheepshead, etc. One
day the boy was sent out on an errand
and on his return, while Mr.. NJ. was
entertaining some friends in his Office,
the boy walked in without knocking.
Old Mr.. M few into a passion and
exclaimed: "Have you no manners? Do
you forget who I ann" Suddenly from
the corner of the room came Polly's
voice, "Sheepshead! fool! blockheadv

prentice was avenged. Chicago Herald.

The Last,

The Harney tin mines of Dakota
heralded throughout the country be-
fore the last election as the richest
mines in the country, have discharged
their men and closed down the works
for good. This concern has stopped
working the mines for the same rea'
sons known to all we'll informed peo-
pie that the tin mines in America will
not pay. The mining and manufac-
turing in the United States has been
an expensive experiment to the inves-
tors, who sank a good deal of money,
while it has cost the consumers in tar
iff and increased price in the neighbor-
hood of S33,OO0,OOO, since the passage
of the Mckinley bill. The great
American tin industry is a myth and a
fraud. Tin should be placed upon the
free list.-Lima Times.

Loco is often called crazy weed"
from its direful effect on cattle or horses
when they eat it in any quantity. In the
beginning the poison is slow in showing
itself. The first symptom is usually a
dull, CLASSY look in the eyes, which grad
ually dilate and become wild and staring.
If after this the animal is left TO Craze
on the herb, the symptoms will become
more pronounced. the vision becomes
impaired, and the victim develops an
aptitude for grotesque antics, sometimes
rushing madly about. A "locoed" horse
will balk, back, rear ard often hurl it.
self backward, and has the greatest OBJ
lection to having its head touched.
The last and fatal stage of the disease
is a gradual wasting away Of the ami
NAL. Cattle born IN the prairies seem
instinctively to avoid the loco. High
grade beasts most easily fall victims to
their partiality for the weed.-Chambers'
Journal.

Not Tnn Much Gold.

Gold-not yellow. but the hue of tie
precious metal-yields the most satisfy
ing color sensation Of which the human
retina is capable. 1t behooves the de-
signer to employ it most sparingly, save
where an effect of utmost splendor is
aimed at. C~nhappily many persons with
no right 10 splendor desire to be splen-
did; everybody, seeing that society has
become impatient Of sumptuarv laws,
has a legal right to be as splendid as he
can.
Every hackney driver on his cab, every
publican IN his premises. every publisher
on the miserable cloth covers of his
Christmas books, may vie with his neigh
Dor and rival in the cheap and lavish use
Of what is the ideal of costliness and
rarity in the fictitious display of what
used to be the emblem of truth-pure
gold.
The evil resulting from this is twofold.
Gold has alii.e ceased to be used by the
designer or regarded by the beholder
with any reverence, for. taking excess
i've advantage of that property which
makes it possible to spread it in infinite

A RcuIarkahle Statue.

Some years ago a melodrama was be-
ing performed in a country theater, the
chief actor IN which had made himself,
from his naughty and overbearing con-
duct, disliked by all. In the last scene
he was supposed to visit the tombs of his
ancestors. In the center of the stage
upon a marble pedestal stood the statue
of his father. y heavy fold of drapery
covered the figure. Enter Albert, who
thus addressed the statue:
Il am here nee again to gaze upon
those features which in life so often
looked on me with tenderest affection.
Father. thy mourning son now comes to
pay thee alteration. Let Inc remove the
veil which from the vulgar gaze shields
the beloved image of a once dear parent
OF went the drapery and, behold! the
father stood upon his head. The effect
cannot be described. 1t was electric.
The shouts of laughter which followed
the mistake Of the super effectually put
an end to the scene, which changed to
the next as quickly as possible, amid the
jeers Of the audience, the anger of the
and the uncomfortable rage Of
the actor.-London Tit-Bits.

Men Are Not Interesting InvaIids.

Women take only too kindly to the
role Of al invalid; the sofa. the ieecy
white shawl. the little cups of beef tea
or plates of oysters. Once let d woman
taste the dreamy pleasures Of this sort
of existence. and unless some shock or
of duty rouses her she will calmly
continue for the rest Of her days il the
pleasant path before her. She smiles
sweetly at the little attentions offered
her. she dresses III the daintiest Of semi
toilets, and She looks so pretty and gen
tie and patient that it seldom dawns on
her husband that the existence is an ig-
noble one. But let my lord fall i'll, and.
oh, dear, what a different tale TO tell,
The valet comes flying from the room
followed by a boot, the cook gives notice
because the master called the beef tea
''beastly stuff" the housemaid is in tears
because she is not allowed to sweep or
dust the sickroom. Man, noble man. is
a pitiful object when he is sick. Get
him thoroughly i'll and he is a better pa
tent than a woman, but if he is merely
laid up for a day or two with a cold or a
bilious attack he persistently kicks in
stead Of wisely enjoying the rest which a
beneticent nature has imposed on him.
