Large Cross In an English Church.

The largest cross in any church in this
country is the "Great Rood" which the
Duke of Newcastle presented to the
Church of st. Albans, Holborn. 1t is an
enormous crucifx, the cross of which is
over % feet in height, and hangs sus-
pended from the chancel arch. The cross
itself is colored dead olive green, and
the arms have terminals of ffower-de-luce
and Tudor roses. The sacred figure is
painted and gilt, while on either side
stand presentments of st. John the Di-
vine and the Virgin as ''the Mater Dolo-
rosa." The idea of the work has been
chiefly borrowed from the rood crosses
to be seen still at st. Peters, Louvain,
and at Oplinter in Brabant.-London

An Umbrella Is Good For a Shower.

A man was once advised to take
shower baths for the general improve
ment of his health. A friend explained
to him how to fit up one by the use of a
cistern and colander, and he accordingly
set to work and had the thing arranged.
Subsequently he was met by the friend
who had given him the advice and was
asked how he enjoyed the bath.
'My dear fellow" said \he, sit was
capital liked it really well, and what
do you think? kept myself dry too"
Whatever do you mean?" exclaimed
his friend, in natural surprise. "How-
ever could you manage to take the show
er and yet remain quite dry?"
"Why, you can't think for a moment
I should be SO stupid as to have shower
bath without an umbrella?" was the in
nocent reply.-London Tit-Bits.

Hard Up.

The city of Wheeling is so hard up that
it paid its officers last week in certificates.
They arranged with the Bank of the Ohio
Valley to issue certificates, for five, ten
and twenty dollars, bearing four per cent
interest, and these will be paid out to the
officers and employees, and they in turn
will transfer them to merchants or to
their own banks, and they will circle
around until they land back again in the
bank of issue.

Truly MarYaloua

In nearly every pursuit followed by the
busy throng of human beings, in an en-
deavor to supply the necessaries of life,
as well as to excel and gain honor, there
are always to be found selected few pos
sessing an ability in their special lines,
bordering upon the truly marvellous. BY
study and application almost anybody
can become able to paint picture, but it
is left for the selected few to correctly
portray the passions with the brush. And
so in the great profession of medicine
almost any of the large army of physi-
clans is capable of recognizing the rough
but it is left for the favored few to cor
rectly read and understand the subtle
language of disease.
By careful analysis of facts we are led
to look upon Drs France & Ottman, who
have been visiting our city several
moL tbs, as the happy professors of a
special adaptatility in their line. They
came among us with an enviable reputa-
tion already earned from abroad, and
their long list of wonderful cures in our
community ,and the constantly increasing
crowds that throng their parlors at the
hotel tells story more potent than words
and of untold interest to those who day
by day are watching the unmistakable
tracery of disease bearing themselves and
friends down to a miserable existence
and untimely end

We sadly miss the usual confidence of
the Democracy at this stage of the cam

the Democracy of the result, but it seems
the fear of the result is the thing troub-

What pity the great Columbian Ex-
position was not held in the year of

been no doubt of success of the great

had the money to attend.

Next Tuesday, at Akron, the campaign
will be formally opened by Governor
Mckinley and other speakers, and from
that time on till November the fighting
will be pushed at every point. The only
danger is that the Republicans will get
over confident owing to the favorable
outlook, but that is hardly probable, as
there is a determination to make Nc
Kinley's majority as large as possible.
The people intend to express their opin-
ion of these Democratic times.

Stranded In Artistic Surroundings.

1t is really amusing and sometimes
pitiful to gee how men suffer from the
artistic mania of their wives. l know
of case where husband was not al
lowed to touch any of the furniture in
the drawing room for fear he would dis
turb the effect of color and outline. He
wisely stipulated, however, that he
should have his own chair in the room,
which he was to be at liberty to do with
as he liked.
Being man of infinite jest he manag-
ed to evolve the most delightful and
comic situations when visitors were pres
ent, explaining that it was his want of
artistic feeling which made it necessary
for him to carry his chair about with
him. He asked that when his friends
contemplated their surroundings from
an artistic point of view they should
kindly consider him and his chair out of
the picture. Needless to say it was not
very long before all restrictions were
withdrawn and he was allowed to work
what havoc he pleased in the drawing
room as well as everywhere else in the
house.-Boston Globe.

We owe the hat to Asia, for it was in
that country that the art of felting wool
was first known, and from the most re-
mote periods the art was carried on by
| the orientals. In India, China, Burmah
and Siam hats are made of straw, of rat
tan, of bamboo, of pith, of the leaf of
the Tallport palm and of large variety
of grasses. The japanese made their
hats. of paper. The modern hat can be
traced back to the petasurs worn by the
ancient Romans when on journey, and
hats with bri1ns were also used by the
earlier Greeks.
1t was not until after the Roman con-
! quest that the use of hats began in Eng
| land. A 'hatte of biever," about the
middle of the twelfth century, was worn
by one of the mobiles of the land. Frais-
sort describes hats and plumes which
were worn at Edwards court in 1340,
| when the Garter order was instituted.
The merchant in Chaucer's Canterbury
Tales" had ''on his head Flaunderish
beaver hat" and from that period on
ward there is frequent mention of "felt
hates. s."-Washington Star.
No Law Against Removing a Dead Body.1
Where in the world" asked the law
yer who volunteered information with
out a retaining fee, "did people-espe-
cially people in the country-get the idea
that one cannot touch or remove body
until the coroner has arrived? That is
almost general belief in the country,
and there never was more ridiculous
and absurd piece of nonsense than this.
l have seen body lie in everybody's
way because the people thereabout
thought that it was unlawful to touch it.
This foolish tradition amounts almost
to a superstition, and you may be sure
no coroner takes the trouble to enlighten
stupid ignorance upon the subject. The
coroner is only too willing to aggrandize
his influence and power, and therefore
rather encourages than discourages this
silly superstition. New York Tribune.

The ticket as whole is worthy the sup

man is only helping the Democracy and
rendering it more difficult to get what he
wants another time. 1t takes hustling
to get anything, and the man who hustles
