The Rag Doll.

The rag doll, dearer to the heart Of
childhood than any other sort of doll, is
quite the fashionable doll par excellence
at the present moment. Unlike the n
our grandmothers made for their little
ones, the n cherished by the little
folks of today is of flesh colored silk jer-
sey cloth or Of cotton balbriggan of the
same color. Its body is filled with cot.
ton, and its hair is in many rings of yell
low single zephyr stitched on in loops.
The face is painted, and when it is nee
essary to clean it this face can be re-
painted after the rest has been washed,
as it a be without injury.-Detroit

Remarkable Unanimity,

The remarkable unanimity that is so

wonderfu, rn.eo. I,,umina.,on..

Che secretary of the Smithsonian in
stitntion, Professor Langley, has been
experimenting with Cuban tirehies with
a view 70 discovering tile manner in
which the illumination they emit is
generated. He says that the light they
give is the cheapest" in the world
produced, that is to say, with the least
heat and the smallest expenditure of
energy-and he believes that a success
full imitation of it would prove a most
profitable substitute for gas or electrici-
long and belong to the family of ''snap-
ping bugs" so called because when one
of them is laid or its back it snaps itself
into the air with q clicking sound. The
secret Of the light this FREELY gives is as
yet undiscovered.
Apparently it is connected in some
way with the mysterious phenomena of
life, and chemists and physicists have
sought in vain to explain its origin. On
each side of the animals thorax is q
luminous membraneous spot, and these
flash at intervals, SO that the Cubans put
a dozen of the insects in a cage together
and obtain O continuous illumination
bright enough to read by. This light is
accompanied by no perceptible heat, and
is seemingly produced with no expendi-
ture Of energy. How great an improve
ment it represents upon all known arti-
fetal lights can be imagined when it is
stated that in candle light, lamp light
or gas light the waste is more thar 90
per cent.-American Analyst.

Aunt Scinda's Four Hundred.

can old negro woman has established
a new theocracy at Grenada, Miss" said
J. H. B. Miller, of C~offeyville. "Her
nam is Scinda, and her followers are
called 'Scinda Band They number
about 400. Scinda is their queen, and
rules her flock with an iron rod. They
use nc Bibles at their meetings, for each
member is supposed to know it by heart.
If Scinda asks them a Biblical question
they are supposed to have an answer at
once. They have their meetings every
Sunday evening and they are interest
ing to observe. The congregation-men
and women-are decked out in costly
ribbons and beads. Their chants are as
weird as the sobs and signs of graveyard
trees. They dance to the music of the
banjo and tambourine until they are
nearly exhausted, and then they go
home."-St. Louis Republic.

Narrow Escape.

Ole Jallo, who resides in the town
/ of Synnes near Dry Wood lake met
with an accident last Thursday that
came very nearly costing him his life
as it was, valuable horse was killed,
In crossing the railroad tracks on 9TH,
Street, wild engine the No. 20 came
gliding in at a rapid rate and as the
side tracks were filed with cars be-
longing to the passing trains, the
engine was not seen by Jallo until too
late to stop. He tried to turn but
before he could do SO the engine
struck one of the horses killing it in
stantly and jammed up and smashed
the wagon hurting the owner con-
No bones were broken
however, and beyond the effects Of the
fright, shock and few slight bruises
Jallo was uninjured.
The cause of the trouble was due
10 the fact that trainmen usually |
leave very narrow passage between
he cars-lots of times there is hardly
,oom for teams to pass. This was the
,ase Thursday, and had there been
space left the width of the street,
he accident would not have occurred.
The engine that caused the trouble
vas, it is claimed, running about Is
niles an hour fast jog for an en-
,ine to move inside the village limits.

The novelties of the post office de-
partment given to the people this year,
the Columbian stamps and the reply
postal cards, have not proven success
full. The letter sheet envelopes in
trodqced into postal use in 1887 have
also been anything but popular
success, The number has constantly
decreased and the question is now
raised in regard to their discontinue
ance. The issue of three sizes of
postal cards have proven unsatisfac
tory, and since the close of the fiscal
year contract has been made for the
manufacture of one size only. While
the reply postal cards have not come
up to expectation, they will be con-
tinued for the present. AS soon as
the novelty of the Columbian stamps
wore off the demand for them rapidly
fell away and the public has shown
conclusively that it prefers smaller
stamp. Credit Review.

Bright and early on Friday evening
eager, busting groups of children
could have been seen vending their
way to the court house, the event be
ing an entertainment given by the
primary and intermediate depart
ments of the public schools. The
children were followed by throngs of
older ones, with papa and mamma,
and in many cases baby, too, and at
an unusually early hour all seats we're
occupied, and standing room was at a
premium. The entertainment was
very nicely carried out by the little
amateurs, and the large audience was
well entertained by a very we'll con-
ceived programme. The entertain
ment was also a success financially,
about $500 being netted. This sum
will go to the defraying of expenses
of the school not included in regular
appropriations.
