A DAMP WAToH.-In stepping from the sailboat to the shore MT. Owens foot slipped, and he went into the water In
 an instant he had scrambled out, and at once examined his watch to see if it had stopped. No; it was going just as usual,
 and continued to go for some days, when 1t stopped. He took it to a well-known jeweler in the great metropolis and had it examined. As soon as the expert work man opened the watch he began to read the owner lecture something after this fashion: "The instant you have reason to think your watch is wet or damp, drop it Gt once into alcohol. The alcohol has a great affinity for water, and will carry it of; it will penetrate to every part of the watch without injuring it in the least, and when after few minutes you remove the watch from the spirit, which will soon evaporate, the watch is as good as ever, and you need not take it to a watch maker. If you can't drop it into alcohol, put it into kerosene" After getting the estimate of this jeweler as to cost of re- pairs, Mir. Owen consulted another expert, and received the same lecture in sub- stantially the same words. The time- piece was put in repair at cost of eleven dollars. Twenty cents worth, or less, of alcohol, promptly applied, would have saved the larger outlay if the owner had known what to do under the circumstances. --CHristinn AdcocGte. .-

THE QUEST.
There once was restless boy
 Who dWelt in A house bV the sea

There once was restless boy
 Who dwelt in a house by the sea, Where the water danced for joy
 And the winds were glad and free; But he said, "Good mother, oh ! let me go! For the dullest place in the world, know, Is this little brown house,
 This old brown house, Under the apple tree. ''I will travel east and west;
 The loveliest homes I'll see; And when I have found the best.
 Dear mother, I'll come for thee. I'll come for thee in 8 year and day, And joyful then we'll haste away
 From this little brown house,
 This old brown house, Under the apple tree.'' So he travelled here and there,
 But never content was he, Though he saw in lands most fair The costliest homes there be. He something missed from the sea or sky, Till he turned again, with wistful sigh, To the little brown house,
 The old brown house, Under the apple tree. Then the mother saw and smiled,
 While her heart grew glad and free, ''Hast thou chosen a home, my child ? h,where shall we dwell" quoth she. And he said, Sweet mother, from east to
 west, - The loveliest home and the dearest and
 best,
 Is little brown house,
 An old brown house, Under an apple tree"

PENNsYLvANIA's republican majority last week was 138,OOO, the largest ever given in the state. Gov. McKinley's ma- jority in Ohio, over 81, ,0OO, is the largest since Vallandigham ran for the governor ship in 1868, just after he had been sent beyond the lines by military authority for reasonable utterances. Maynard's defeat for the supreme judgeship in New York is by nearly 100, 900, and the general republican majority in that state is 34 ,000. In Massachusetts, Greenhalge for govern or has 5000 majority, and his associates on the republican ticket all get larger ma jorities. Iowa's republican majority is over 3O,00O. In Chicago, Judge Gary, whom the anarchists tried to defeat, and whom Gov. Altgeldt scored so severely for having sentenced those who were hanged, as well as those whom the gov ernorpardoned from life sentences, was re-. elected by 15,OOO, running several thou, sand votes ahead of his republican asso- ciates, who were also elected.

IT looks as if there were quite general public disapproval of the administrations proposed plan to seat the Hawaiian queen upon her throne again, and restore to the Hawaiian's the ruler and government they don't want The next appeal the disaf- fected majority make may be to some other than the American government, in which case what excuse will America have for interference If Uncle Sam will not accept the islands as an American depend ency, why not let the people enjoy as a republic their freedom from the rulers they have rejected?

SoME newspapers have, or assume to have, anticipations of naval fights in New York waters, to follow the purchase and refitting of vessels for the Brazilian gov ernment. It is said that the insurgents also have agents on the look out, and that strong tug boats are to be bought and used as rams to sink the embryo war ships as they leave New York harbor.

A Coop TIME TO BEGIN-While the outlook for better times seems brighter, it is not expected that business will show any unusual degree of activity for several months, perhaps not before spring. Then, without peradventure, there will be de- mand for all classes of service and the clerical not the exception. A preparation for position as accountant, stenograph- CT, book-keeper, or assistant book-keep- CT, can be made in the meanwhile, and there is no better time than the present to begin. The New London Business Col lege, New London, Conn, offers excep- tional facilities and advantages to young men and women desiring to equip them selves for business, the instruction being thorough, the methods practical, and the terms the lowest consistent with the train ing afforded. Catalogue sent free on ap- plication to R. A. Brubeck, principal.

Professor Garner, who went from Amer ica into the interior of Africa to learn the monkey language, has arrived at Liver pool on his return. He claims that he has established beyond a doubt that there is monkey language, and that it can be learned by man. He brought with him from Africa two Kulu Kamba chimpan- gees, with which he is able to communi- cate. Professor Garner says that he stay ed for 101 days in his cage, which he had had carried into the heart of forest 25O miles inland. This cage was a massive affair that was chained to trees. In it Professor Garner would lock himself and then await the coming of members of the ape family, when he would try to con- municate with them by means of sounds he had learned from monkeys in America and elsewhere. He had with him phon- ograph with which he kept record of the sounds made by his visitors.
 It is an excellent suggestion that is made by correspondent of the "Worcester Spy" that when people economize in these hard times they begin with something else than the paid labor in their houses. Cutting off the woman who comes in to scrub or wash means absolute distress to her. Probably she has two or three chil- dren and depends chiefly, if not wholly, on her days work. The sum that makes to her the difference between tolerable com. fort and absolute want means to her en- ployer no more than a little more or less comfort. Better save somewhere else, and let her live by her own industry.
