Clergyman and Baker.

A clergyman in Scotland desired
his hearers never to call one another
liars, but when anyone said the thing
that was not true they ought to
whistle. One Sunday he preached a
sermon on the miracle of the loaves
and dishes, and, being at a loss how
to explain it, he said the loaves were
not like those nowadays; they were
as big as some of the hills in Scot
land! He had scarcely pronounced
the words when he heard loud
whistle.
"Wha is that" says he, "ca's me a
liar?"
ut is l, Willy Macdonald, the
baker"
"Well, Willy, what objection have
ye to what I ha' told ye?"
"None," said he; ''only I want to
know what sort o. ovens they had to
bake those loaves O. bread in. New
York Ledger.

Mourning.

The English period of mourning
for father-in-law is twelve months,
ten months black, two months half
mourning; Grape is seldom worn, al
though the Grape period was formerly
six months. For parent the period
is the same as above. The longest
period for brother is six months,
five months black, one month half
mourning. The Grape period was
formerly three months; 1t is now al
most discarded. The shortest period
is four months black, no falf mourn
ing. We may remark that the period
OF mourning Tor a father-in-law is
often shortened to six months when
relatives reside a: considerable dis.
lance from each other.

Anecdotes Ofthe Duke of Edinburgh.

The succession Of the Duke OF Edin-
burgh to a ducal throne on the con-
tinent has set the papers to telling
stories about him. One is, that when'
commanding the Galatea he called
in plain clothes on an admiral: who!
rebuked him with the stiff greeting
Il should have been very happy to-
receive your royal highness on any
other occasion, hut unhappily at this
moment l am expecting a visit
from the captain of the Galatea.
The duke went back to his ship and
put on his uniform, Another story
is, that when travelling in Canada he
had a guide who had served his
brother, and who remarked one day:
"The Prince of Wales gave me a
splendid gold watch, sir" "Indeed!"
said the duke, "that's more than he
ever did for me-"

Draught Animals.

n French scientist has just proved
by experiment that the motive power
OF animals is series Of jerks, which
consequently cause great waste OF
labor. He suggests that horses should
be harnessed with elastic traces, as
by this means the resistance would
be overcome. 1t is we'll known that
bargemen have their barges drawn
with long ropes, the reason icing.
the longer the rope the greater the
scope for elasticity.

What "Bankrupt" Means,

The word bankrupt comes from two
italian words, signifying a broken
bench. The populace OF Venice, Flor.
ence and other italian cities often be-
came greatly incensed with the money
lenders, who were frequently Hebrews,
and bursting into the market places,
would steal the change and break OF
overturn the bench. A broken bench
implied q money changer without
funds, hence the term.

SEVER LEARN.

Some politicians 1ever learn wisdom from
experience. The managets Of the democrat
ic organxa,ien in New York are notable
examples of this class. 1hese managers,
led by Sheehan, lieutenant governor and Sem
a'ors Hill and Murphy. some lime ago laid
the plans CT pasting every Cleveland man
out oil every appointmsnt held under the state.
To such an extent was this scheme worked
that even day laborers about the capital who
were known 20 be iriendly to Cleveland were
deprived of their places and biini followers
called practical politics, but as every one
sees that II is not for the benefit Of the pub
lie, but rather for the promotioa of the In
terests of certain managers. ii Is just such
pie do nat ike The TACT should not be lost
SIGHT OF that people are more intelligent and
more independent at tn polls than they were
two decades since. There are enough in
telligent, independent democrats in New
York to smash the machine now controlling
democra,ic politics 10 thar state. And
hence i, is safe to say that that state viii
soon pass into the hands of the republicans,
Anent this there could be no question
were it not for the fact that the republican
party of that state is dominated by as dis
reputable machine as the democrats are
subjected to. New York state is naturall,
democratic but it cannot be kept so Will,
the party leaders subordinate the interest
of the masses of the people 10 that of tn
machine. No conscientious democrat vii
regret 10 see Sheehan's machine SMASHED
at the elections this fall.

;,iinias,er John l. Stevens, who has rep
resented the United States 10 Hawaii since
Mr. Blaine became secretary of state. has
resigned his post and will return to the Uni
ted States in snort time, probably about
siayis. 1t Is thought likely that Pres,den,
Clevsland V. i'll have selected his successor
by the time Mr. Stevens is ready TO leave for
the United States, aud there Is an impression
in the state department that the new Ha-
waiian minister wilt be chosen as soon AZ
Mr. Cleveland returns from Chicago. There
is much speculation here regard Ing Ministe
Stevens' probable successor. Ever since Com
missioner Blount departed for Horolulu. .
rumor has been current that the presiden
had decided to make him a full aedged min,
mister as soon as his work was completed
There are several reasons, however, VIII
his outcome now seems less likely than
| did month ago. Notwithstanding the fac
| that Commissioner Blount's actions hav
been approved ofby The administration, ,h
president Is not blind to the fact that certain
things he has done, notably the hauling dow
] o: the flag. have been received in this coun.
try with disfavo,. The president realize
also that commissioner appointed to assis
| in settling controversy between two partie.
| in foreign nation can hardly hope to b
persona graft to all factions, after the set

TRAVELLING RrLEs. you are going 10
Chicago. digest the following facts in
reference to travelling, furnished she
DEaocRAr by Baggage Master Barker:
All baggage should he plainly marked
with owners name in full.and permanen;
or home address.
In view Of the crowded condition oil
baggage cars en- route, and OF the baggage
rosns at she various stations in Chicago
during the Columbian Exposition, the
checking OF saichels and other hand bag
gage should be discouraged, and passen-
gers requested 10 keep such in their
possession. Al baggage shall be in good
order before il is checked as starting
point.
Il ;s important that baggage be idenii-
fed and checked by the owner a. initial
point. This should not be delegated 10
haekmen, experience having demonstras-
ed that in q large majority of cases, es-
trays, loss of baggage or other complica-
lions are the result OF the failure Of the
owner 10 act for himself.
Passengers should in all cases keep a
memorandum OF the cheek numbers and
the full lettering Of all railroad, omnibus
or express checks, and the date and
poiat at which they were obtained.
Passengers sheuid not give any baggage
or baggage checks TO an expressman un-
less q check or receipt is given by him in
exchange, and as an additional security
take his badge number as a means OF
| identification II needed. Agents OF the
Parmelee Transfer Company xill pass
through all trains approaching Chicago
| and give transfer checks in exchange for
railroad checks for the delivery OF bag
gage 10 all hotels, boarding houses and
priyaieTesidences
Baggage should, as rule. be checked
TO Chicago" and not TO suburban sta
tion, or the Exposition grounds.
All baggage 10 be checked out, when
delivered to the various stations in Chi
cago, should bear transfer or express
claim check; or, il It does not. a depo.
claim check must be issued at the time
the baggage Is delivered q. The station.

A CURIOUS PRoPosi rIoS.-rhe Cor
wallis Times proposes that the county
court of Benton county establish a toll
gate on the Benton county side Of the Al
bany bridge, and says ''th.s matter has
been urged on our county court by large
potion of the responsible tax payers Of the
county. In local matters we favor a tariff
for revenue purposes and as the county
court OF Linn Is dominated largely with
republican tariff ideas Il will not complain
at the contemplated action OF the Benton
county court In assuming at an early day
jurisdiction OF this bridge from the center
of the river, the line between Benton and
Linn. The sole object on the part OF Linn
as regards this bridge project, was 20 build
up Albany and Linn county at the ex
pense of Benton. II now becomes our
county court to demonstrate to Linn
county the duties of a tariff for the pur-
pose Of protection, TO say nothing of Incl
dental revenue" The attention of the
Linn county court Is called to this. Prompt
action should be taken TO set down on It.
