In this country when it comes to the
casting of ballots the person elected to
the position awarded by the suffrage of
the people is always extremely proud of
tho result, even though he may not be
especially DESTROYS Of holding Office. In
other countries, too, the recipient Of the
greatest number Of ballots at the polls
is apt to swell with pride over the out
come of the voting, but there is case
on record in Japan where the winner at
the polls was not only sorry for his sue.
cess, but came through that success sub.
sequently to wish he had never been
born. This was in the village of Ava.
and the person honored. or dishonored,
by the majority vote was Jap Of the
name Of Abb Tanihei.
1t seems that the village of Ava was
harrassed by midnight robber whom
nobody could detect. The head Of the
hamlet summoned the entire male DOB.
ulation under his charge and directed
every man to write the name Of the Der.
son whom he suspected and to deposit
the paper in box. Fifteen ballots bora
the name of Abb Tanihei, the rest being
blanks. The man whom everybody dis.
trusted was 80 much overcome with as.
constituent that hc made full confes
sion and went to prison. - Harper's

A popular comedian tells story of a
waiter at London restaurant who was
sadly given to drink. A party of young
men determined to reform him, and one
day they read to him an imaginary par
agraph from paper relating q terrible
accident in which an inebriate in blow
ing out a candle was killed by the flame
igniting the alcoholic fumes of his
breath. James pricked up his ears at
this and requested that the paragraph
might be read to him again, which was
done, to the evident horror of the Door
man, who Immediately went in search
of a Bible.
Returning with this, he expressed
desire to take solemn oath upon it, be-
moaned the fact that he had been sorry
tippler and was bringing himself to
ruin, and then swore that never again
SO long as he lived would he attempt to
blow out candle.-Million.

A Water Supply Under Every Barn.

Every barn should have cistern I'M
der it, and especially If the barn have a
basement for wintering stock. With
suitable contrivances a supply of pure
water may be provided, 80 that the
water is shut Off automatically when
the vessel is filed to certain height.
This is done by a wooden valve resting
on the water and buoyed up by it so
that the water is shut off whenever it is
needed. Such cisterns under barns have
often furnished the water promptly SO
as to sa~e. serious losses from fire.-Al-

Democratic professions OF uon-par.

Democratic professions OF non-par.
tisanship must be accepted with a
great degree of allowance. Never,
when 1t was pretending 10 merit non-
partisan support. that 1t has not used

partisan frauds. Not once has it ac-
quired o little power. that it has not
used It 10 reward Democratic partisan
ship and to intrench itself behind
such partisan schemes and laws as
would enable II TO despise tho non.
Dsrtisan assistance 1t had acquired.
Never was this more fully illustrated
man In the late legislation at Dover,
where the basest partisan schemes
were converted into laws under the
name OF non partisanship.
1t was even called a non-partisan
measure to remove the Mayor of vii.
