Keep Salt Out OF the Nostriis.

A late paper by medical authority
advises against the common and "un-
healthy remedy" of snufflng solu-
ton of salt and water for catarrhal
troubles. In it's place is recon-
mended solution OF warm water and
bicarbonate of Soda teaspoouful OF
soda to a cupful of water. The Same
solution is prescribed for acute sore
throat in the place Of chlorate OF
potassium. Whatever solution is
used in the nose" says the writer OF
the paper, sit is great mistake to
forcibly snuff it into the uostrils from
the palm Of the hand. II 1t is snuffed
too forcibly it is forced into the upper
part of the nasal cavity, where it is
very irritating, often causing head
ache and irritation of the eyes. The
best and simplest way to use the soda
solution Is to bury the nose entirely
in the cup OF fluid and then gently
suck the solution into the nose, at
the same time holding the mouth
wide open. New York Post

He wanted the Speakers Ear Inclined
His Way Awhile.
DIR. Hildreth in his Memoirs Of
the Early Settlers Of Ohio" devotes
chapter to Abraham Whipple Of
Rhode Island He was born in 1888,
and was one of the first to take q
hand in the revolutionary war. In
1885 he was elected a representative
to the legislature from the town Of
Cranston. The advocates OF the
paper-money system were then in
power, and had chosen Othniel Cor
ton, a clumsy old man for speaker.
Gorton was in the habit of keeping a
large quid of tobacco in one side Of
his mouth, which pressed ont one Of
his cheeks. Most OF the debaters
were on the opposite side Of the
hall from that on which
Commodore Whipple sat, and
the speakers face was commonly
turned that way. Once, in the course
of the debate, Whipple had cogitated
q speech, which he waited for an op-
portunity to deliver. At last, out OF
patience, he rose and called: "Mr.
Speaker" The speaker, whose face
was turned the other way, did not
hear him. He raised his voice to its
utmost: "Mr. Speaker Gorton
started, and. turning to the commo-
dore, said: II hear you" There
upon Whipple began: II wish, Mr..
Speaker, you would shift your guild
of tobacco from your starboard to
your larboard jaw, that 1t might give
your head q cant this way, so that
you could sometimes hear something
from this side OF the house" Then
he went on with his speech.

THE WORLDS FAIR VISITORS.
Routes Selected by Tourists--The Con-
dillon of tho Misslsstppi River.


dillon of tho Mississippi River.
ST.. LOUIS, May 9.--The city contin-
ues to be crowded with visitors from
all sections of the country, and at
present the percentage of visitors to
the Worlds Fair who take in st. Louis
on the way is large in the extreme.
All the railroad companies report
great increase in traffic from different
directions and nearly all the roads be-
tween st. Louis and Chicago are i'm
proving their service and shortening
the time of the journey. Arrange
ments for the Fall Exposition here are
progressing satisfactorily. Sousa's
band which is to take care of the mus
ical portion of the entertainment has
given preliminary concerts which have
been very well received.
The river has fallen here to quite its
normal stage and there is no danger
whatever OF flood. st. Louis prop
erty was never in any danger, but
much alarm was felt in the surround
ing country ON the Illinois side, and
wade relations between this section
asd st. Louis arc very extensive. In
East st. Louis, just across the Eads
Bridge, the streets are all being raised
to about the height which is known as
dan. er point in the river, and these in
themselves will provide valuable safe
guards against subsequent floods.
Along the river 70 the north, also on
khe Illinois shore, the levees are being
Sproved rapidly and the extensive
i. snufacturing plants located there
will be entirely free fran danger in
the future. 1t is expected that u
wagon bridge alongside of the Mer-
chants Railway Bridge will Ne con-
structed very shortly, and this will
greatly increase the connection be-
tween the business interests on bSeN
sides of the river.
The system of time payments has
spread out prodigiously in st. Louis
lately. A new idea is being adver-
tised generally by circulars sent to
men whose names were taken from
the society directories. They are those
who are about to be married. If the
man responds by visit to the house
that sends out the circular he is told
that the firm will agree to pay all his
wedding expenses and let him return
the loan by monthly installments. He
asSents. He is directed to choose the
house where he wants to live. He
does SO and reports.

sent this card of Introduction and

The young man says he would like
to do it. make up your mind where
you would like to go, and we will get
the tickets" the agent says.
The young man does sail these things,
and reports again. The agent calcu-
lates. "Rent of fiat, $50 a month;
furniture, $500; tickets for two around
the lakes, $780," Then he adds five
per cent to the bill "We'll take care
of all these things" he says, land you
are to pay SIS month till the debt is
cleared of.
The arrangement is very advan-
tageous one to the young man, and he
accepts. The agent gets his five per
cent, and several commissions from
landlords and merchants. 1t is a sat
isfactorv arrangement all around.

silver Statues.

Montana's unique silver exhibit al
the worlds fair-that much talked
of silver statue of Ada Rehan--has
been a prolific source of misstate-
mcnts and inaccurate historical COM
mcnt during the last two or three
months. One writer declares that it
is the only life-sized statue that has
ever been made of a precious meta,
and another that il is the most valu-
able piece of statuary known in the
world, both statements being about
as far from the truth as it is possible
to get them. The statue Of the God
dess Athene, made by Phidias, the
Greek sculptor, in 438 b. c., was
made OF solid gold and ivory, the
robe of the statue alone being worth
forty-four talents of gold, the talent
being $13,809. Here we have it in a
nutshell: The dress, the lightest
part OF the ivory and gold statue of
Athene, was worth twenty times as
much as that silver statue OF Ada
Rehan, And this was one of Phidias'
minor works. His ivory and gold
statue OF Jupiter Olympus was nearly
twice as large as Athene (the latter
being thirty nine feet and the former
sixty feet in height.

HE SLtPT IN A COFFIN.

of Doctor, Preacher or Barber.


Jacob Mumma, a recluse, died q
few days ago at his residence on the
York road, about one mile from Han
over, Pa Since 1S4S he was away
but once from his strange aud dreary
place of abode, and on this occasion,
between 1884 and 1888 he visited
England, and while there received
patent on watch, and was offered
$4,000 for the right, but the Balti-
more Sun says he wanted 800, 900,
and got nothing. This in connection
with love affair disappointment,
preyed on his mind to such an extent
that he became decidedly eccentric
and decided to retire from society
and live by himself. He would only
see few people who had business
with him, and these were limited to
five. In early life he mingled
in society and enjoyed him.
self to the fullest extent and
worked on his fathers farm. His
father, Samuel Mumma, who died
about seven years ago, owned the
place where he died, consisting of
farm, containing over 100 acres, u
three-story brick mill, widely known
as Mumma's mill, and two-story
roomy dwelling house. On his death
it became the property of Jacob and
his brother Samuel B., who died
about one year ago, when it became
the property Of Jacob Since then
he sold the farm to Samuel Bare, who
has been living in the house up to his
death. Bills were out for the sale of
the mill property very lately,
but the sale was postponed on ac-
count OF Mr.. Mumma's illness. He
had three rooms in the house re-
served for his apartments
In winter he would live entirely in
the cellar, eight by ten feet. Here
he would eat and sleep, and in the
summer time he would occupy a room
on the second floor and one above
that on the third. He went from
one room to another by the aid OF a
ladder, having holes cut through
| the floor and ceilings, never going
| in any other part OF sie house. Often
at night he would lone forth from
his haunt and stroll over the farm to
see that all was we'll and at the same
time get little fresh air and exer-
else. Some years ago he had a cask-
/ ct made in which he wanted to be
buried. Some time ago he imagined
that rats and mice might get at him
while asleep, and had high stills put
to the casket, getting in and out
with ladder. He had tin box
made and left in care Of the under
taker, in which he wanted TO be
buried. He had no use for doctor,
preacher or barber. His hair was
| very long.

Observance of Memorial Day.

No one can fail to be made better by
taking part III the ceremonies of Me-
mortal Day and we are glad to know
that each year the day IS more gener
ally and appropriately observed. The
disposition of some to make it a day of
festivity and pleasure has been so ey-
tensively rebuked that but few will
have cheek to get up picnics or balls or
even go fishing on this Memorial Day.
In a very few years those who are
most active in strewing the graves of
others, will themselves be the objects
of the same, loving service and it is
pleasant to think that they will not be
forgotten, but that their last resting
place will be believed with tears and
bedecked with flowers on each re-
curing spring, and that Memorial
Day will continue to be observed as
long as the principles of love and
gratitude remain, which will be to the
end of time-EX

Rural Memorial Day Preparations.

Memorial Day in the hamlets of
northern Vermont is joyful festival,
anticipated with delight for weeks
previous and remembered with joy for
DAYS subsequent to its occurrence.
The brass band has practiced dirge
for weeks; the choir, too, rehearses the
Star Spangled Banner" America"
and Marching Through Georgia, and
the minister burns the midnight oil.
The undertaken is the Commissary
General, and upon him devolves the
most important of the elaborate prep
arations. He it is who goes about
the town collecting the little flags
which are loaned for the occasion, and
early on Memorial Day he goes to the
little cemetery or ''burying ground
and plants them above the sunken
graves where sleep the honored dead.

Something seemed to mount up into

stammered.

Sam seemed to shrink from the
ordeal, but he dismounted and crossed
the threshold of the lone shanty, where,
with uncovered head, he stood gazing
down upon the sunburnt face which.
despite its shadow, wore the hue of
death.
Bess stood aloof and looked on.
