Mixed Relationship.

There is a family in the southern part
of the county whose complicated rela-
tionship beats anything upon record.
The family name is Runk. A few years
ago the Runk family consisted of father
and two grown sons. In the same neigh
borhood there lived a widow and her
two comely daughters. The Oldest one
of the Runk boys married one of the
widows daughters. The young mans
father married the other daughter. The
other n of the boys married the
mother. The question that now both
ers the father is whether he is his moth
er-in-law's father-in-law or his daugh-
ter-in-law's son-in-law, and, if both,
which the most.-Mascoutah (Ills.) Cor.

Dfsuse of the Hat.

A London correspondent complains
that he cannot take his walks abroad
with his head uncovered without being
exposed to gibes and fouts and sneers
and treated as a lunatic. "And yet" he
asks, "who but the halter would suffer
by the almost complete disuse of the hat?
The advantages would be many. We
should entirely avoid badness (Which
u hats induce; our heads would be as
cool as our faces (Which we never think
of covering, though they are less pro-
tected with hair than our heads); we
should a v u money and a great deal
of trouble. IL this climate we need not
be afraid of sunstrokes, and we should
avoid colds in the head. 1t is a mistake
to suppose that either chimney pot hats
or bowlers shade the eyes. They do not
do SO any more than women's bonnets."

Advantages of Sessickness.

Nothing can be much more depressing
than s~easickness, and for this reason we
should strongly advise all weak persons
not to encounter if possible the risk of
it's occurrence. 1t is astonishing how
soon and how completely those who are
favored with a fair Measure of constitu-
tional elasticity recover from its depres-
sion. In their case the benefits of a sea
trip may thus, with compensations of
air, diet and appetite, be enhanced by a
few hours of mechanical nausea. 1t il

of this kind are Observation-Disclosures Lam

"Let me tell you how I came near be-

reporter one afternoon. at happened in
this way: / was breakfasting alone in
East Twenty-eight street at a private
Italian boarding house filed with the
leading people from several comic opera
companies, including Robin Hood and
'Puritania.' My landlady, Mmo. S.,
whose English pronunciation is at once
the delight and despair of those who
seek to initiate or understand it, came in
and said: 'Mista John, writa me una
note. Say Aida WON are down. Com
ma queek. You putta ma nom alta bot,
Sophie
Il was i'll haste to get down town."
continued the narrator, ''and l wrote it
out as I understood it, All the women
are down; come quick I thought
that the message sounded odd. She
said, however, that it was ALA rat
and sent it to DR.. x. around the corner
in Lexington avenue. That worthy
young physician glanced at the note, and
thinking that it opened the way to fame
for him informed the board of health
that he had discovered an outbreak of
cholera in an up town Italian boarding
house. He telephoned the same mes
sage to several newspaper men of his
acquaintance.
Sin less than twenty minutes a squad
Of burly policemen appeared in front of
the house, followed by the doctor, six re-
porters and several officers of the board
of health, whose instincts had been
wrought up to a white heat by the mes
sage. Mime. S. answered the incessant
ringing of the door bell in person.
She was attired in a becoming morning
gown, and being a large and remarkably
handsome woman, presented a dra-
matte appearance as she explained the
situation: Gentleman, who eata brik-
fast now, no undastanda me. l tell him
olda wom' are down, slippa down, you

THE CABIN ON THE CLAIM.
Lonely. you say. with mighty arch

Lonely, you say. with mighty arch
OF SKY 50 grandly bending?
BY bright hued clouds and glittering stars
A tender message sending?
Joylessl When out Of crimson cloud
The sunrise pours its glory,
Morn after morn repeating wei!
Aurora's cheerful story?
Peaceless? When night with noiseless feet
From fields of herbs and flowers,
Sweet odors in her mantle dark
Bears to this cot of ours?
Like faintest sounds of distant seas
Pounding some castle hoary,
We hear the great worlds roar and fret
And trace her c~hangeful story.
As far away white cleaning sail,
Turning a bend of river,
A noble deed with radiant fash
Makes every heartstring culver.
So. thankful, where the kindly stars
Spangle the blue with beauty,
We look and breathe the fervent wish
That all may do their duty.

would include bread, beans, butter,
bananas, beef, brick cheese (by an elias

The character and fame of Lincoln
is expanding more rapidly and surely

to say that the love and admiration of
of the people will yet lift him into the
realms of the legend.

BEDS OF ALL NATIONS.

THE Japanese lie upon mating with
a stiff, uncomfortable wooden neck rest.
TIE ancient Greeks or Romans had
their bed supported on frames, but not
fat like ours.
THE Chinese use low bedsteads, often
elaborately carved, and supporting only
mats or coverlids-
THE Egyptians had a couch of a pc
culiar shape, more like an old-fashioned
easy chair with hollow back and seat.
IS England the old four-posted bed
stead is the pride of the nation; but the
iron or brass bedstead is fast becoming
universal. The English beds are the
largest beds in the world.
In the tropics men sleep in hsmmocks
or upon mats of grass. The East In
dian unrolls his light portable charpoy,
or mattress, which. in the morning, is
again rolled together and carried away
by him.
A POPULARITY of the German bed is
its shortness; besides that it frequently
consists in sort Of large down pillow
or upper mattress. which spreads over
the person and usually answers the pur-
pose OF all other bed-clothing com bined.

A FARMER of Norden, Neb., heard
sounds from his hog pen one night
which indicated great agitation among

with an ax and drove away twelve
wolves.
A TRAIN on the Great Northern rail-
road ran into a large herd of an

so that another had To be obtained TO

WILD hogs in Velaseo. Tex, pursued
a young hunter named James Weems,
and he sought refuge in tree, where
he was compelled to remain all night.
Two sportsmen discovered him. and
they had to shoot all the hogs before
Weems could descend.
SQUIRRELS are very plentiful and
destructive in some parts of the state
of Washington. Lincoln county paid
