CELINA, O., April 2S.-John William
Henry Harrison Jackson, 45, who has
lived near Fort Recovery all his life,
never rode on the cars, nor had he seen

Professor Thomson Was Snubbed.

AS near to recreation as anything OF
the kind ever engages the always earnest
attention of Professor Elihu Thomson
is the interest which he shows in the
alleged applications of electricity, par
ticuiarly in regard to the devices by
which the INSCRIPTIONS play upon the
credulous and the suffering. While at
the Chicago fair he examined at sell
ing stand a SO called electrical appli-
ance to be worn in the shoes for the
cure of various ailments from cold feet
upward. The young woman volubly
described the apparatus in political
phrase, claiming everything" and
then proceeded to explain the "scien-
tific principles by which the electric
current would pass up one limb to the
heart and then down by the other one,
and much more of the like ilk. The
professor mildly stated that electricity
did not operate in the manner stated
when the young woman Indignantly
swept the goods back into the showcase,
We'll, what do you know
about electricity anyway" Boston

member of congress. He can certain

les seems to be pleading. He is not
so selfish and narrow minded as that
He is not the kind of d man, however,
who will sit quietly in his seat and see
the boys VINO risked their lives to save
their country imposed upon and de.
prived of the mere pittance which viii
serve to make their last days more
comfortable. Wren the Democratic
leaders thought they could bribe him

Had Fun With the Policeman.

1t is seldom that one of the finest
ggets such a scare as a member of the
force received the other night on Park
row ia front of the postoffice. This
policeman has made himself obnoxious
to the newsboys who Gongregate around
the posteffice. He seemed to them to
take delight in moving them on. The
boys had no redress, but at last they
took up a scheme which has afforded
pieasureto small boys more than once
They secured an old pair of trousers,
together with coat and hat, which
they stuffed with straw. Waiting I'M
til the policeman was looking in their
direction, two of them, with the dunn
my between them, boldly walked out of
Beekman street and started across Park
row toward the postoffice. The sight of
the two boys in charge of a man who
apparently could not take care Of him
self interested the policeman, and he
started to follow them. The boys
walked on until they reached the mid
die Of the street, when they threw the
figure ON the track before an approach
ing horse car and fed.
With pale face and an involuntary
cry of terror the policeman ran toward
the body. He had gone but few feet
when he trpped and fell. The driver
of the car put on the brake just as the
horses reached the body. Just then
two boys rushed from the postofice,
seized the body by the legs, one on each
side. and ran down Beekman street with
it amid the shouts OF their companions,
who had been silent but much amused
witnesses of the joke. The policeman
did net follow. York Sun.

POOLING THE BIRDS.
How They Are Drawn From Their Hiding
Places In the Forests.

| have heard young women whistle
beautifully, minicking the songs of
the birds, the blackbird and the thrush
particularly. They fashioned simple
instruments by the Preside, which were
easily carried in the pocket, the whole
lot of them, with which they mimicked
the calls for the various species. If
they wished to see whether a stoat, wea-
sci, crow or Jay We're about, they would
place their lips on the back of one hand
and squeal horribly, the cries becoming
weaker each time, exactly like those OF
rabbit caught in a trap or fixed by
stoat or weasel.
Crows, magpies and jays know very
well what that cry means. 1t is as
dinner bell to them, for after the stoat
or weasel leaves a rabbit a feathered
company come to eat him. AS the even
ing got more dusky the boys would
come out in their gardens, which were
surrounded by the fir woods, to call the
owls to them. They would hiss and
snore like the white owl-the barn owl
--hoot, click and bark like the wood
owl-the brown and tawny owl-and
squeak like mice for the pleasure of see
ing the owl swoop toward the place
where the sound or sounds proceeded
| from.

it in pleasant anticipation of mouse
finishing up with the bark when tn
bird springs from his resting place.
All this was done to perfection b
the boy, but the master touches wei

The Marriage Line.

An interesting discussion has sprung
up among the palmists in regard to the
line of the hand known as the marriage
line. One recognized authority says
that when this line curves upward the
possessor is not likely to marry at all.
Other experts reply that they know
many married and happy people with
sach line. 1t is also alleged that the
transverse line on the hill of Mer.
curry" which one party says is the mar
riage line, is not so considered by the
Chirological society. Our opinion,
says the editor of the party organ, sis
that these lines are signs of attachment,
and there is scarcely hand ever seen
without at least one in the hand of
either married OF unmarried people"
