A "Character" in France.

Recently a French gentleman, reply
ing to an inquiry by lady concerning
the character and qualifications OF
woman who had applied to her FOR the
position of cook, and who had lately
been in the gentleman's service, said that
he could not recommend the applicant;
that she was "extravagant, impertlnent
and somewhat given to drink" The lady
gave the letter to the applicant for the
cooks position, who Immediately brought
suit for damages against the writer.
The case was decided against the writ
or of the letter, who was fined and ad-
monished that he had no right to give
circulation to injurious statements con-
cerning another person, even II the
charges were true.
In order to evade the responsibility
thus introduced in French law house
keepers have taken to issuing such "rec
concentrations" as this:
"This certifies that Nine. Hortense
late nurse to my son, aged one year, die
not leave him OH bench at the Jardil
| des Plantes and go away and forget hin
on the Goth of August last"
The certificate is intended to be takel
in a contrary sense, and serves its pur
pose without laying the writer open to
suit for damages.-Youth's Companion

Burial Customs in Kentucky.

In the mountains of Kentucky when
husband dies his funeral sermon is not
preached until after the death of the
wife, nor that of wife until the hus-
band also is dead. Then d preacher is
sent for, friends and neighbors are
called in. and the respect is paid to both
together.
More peculiar is the custom of having
the services for one person repeated, so
that the dead get their funerals"
preached several times months and years
after their burial. I heard the pitiful
story of two sisters who had their moth
er's ''funeral" preached once every sum-
mer as long as they lived.
In strange contrast with this regard
for ceremonial observances is their neg
lect of the graves of their beloved, which
they do not seem at all to visit when once
closed or to decorate with those symbols
of affection which are the common indi
cations of bereavement.-'Blue Grass

A Rainmaker to BE Depended Upon.

A Rainmaker to Be Depended Upon.
Frederick w. Root is q good deal Of
hoodoo. He gracefully acknowledges
the charge himself. 1t is n singular fact
that whenever he appears to deliver
lecture the rain begins to fall. He is SO
good rain producer that he has serious
ly considered the idea of utilizing his
talents for that purpose in the arid re-
gions Of the west.
While at Silver Lake Assembly, in New
York state, he delivered a lectured on
musical tastes or kindred subject. He
had delivered the same lecture half
dozen times in the west, ard the refresh
ing shower came along each time before
ho had half finished it.
But when he reached the Silver Lake
Assembly grounds the sky was bright,
and Mr.. Root congratulated himself
upon having shaken off his evil spirit.
He mounted the rostruI1, cleared his
throat, and when he had got as far as
"Friends and fellow citizens" the rum
BILE of distant thunder grated harshly
upon his ears. Yet he gathered up his
courage and went on, and before he had
delivered quarter of his lecture the
rain came down in torrents.
Indeed" said Mr.. Root, IT never saw
lit rain so hard before" After the ad
dress witty young Chicago woman wht
knew Of the hoodoo business suggested
for the convenience of the public, tina
next year Mr. Root should write lee
ture upon q dry subject.-Chicago Post

What Men and Women Tell.

There is one radical difference between
men and women that sit may be said
generally of novelists, that men know
moro than they tell, and women tell
more than they know" 1t may be true
of novelists. Unreal life neither tells all
he or she knows, and the difference
shows in what they keep.
A woman tells the thing that is not
vital. She will tell some one almost
every detail of her daily life, but let her
have a heart story, and she not only
keeps it in, but she lives as though
it had no existence.
A man scorns to relieve his mind OF
little worries by asking for sympathy
But let great secret come into his life
he dies unless he tells it to some QUE
He will do it even when it brings him IL
the shadow of death or bitterest dis
grace.-Charles Dudley Warner in Har

Once there were two tramps who were
actually looking for work. In the course
of their wande :ings they came upon
pile of coal in front of a palatial resi-
dence.
Said the tramp with the inferior intel
lect, ."Let us engage ourselves to stow
away this fuel at price of twenty-five
cents" NAY, nay" said the tramp of
superior intellect; "let me go within and
negotiate"
And he did negotiate and secured the
Job at a rate of fifty cents, of which sum
he gave one-half to his companion to
perform the necessary manual labor, re-
serving one-half unto himself for super
intending operations.
Whereat he of the inferior business
ability, though he had received twice
the amount of work he expected and at
his own rate of compensation, lifted uI
his voice in wrath and swore by various
deities that he had been bunkoed.
Was he right?-Indianapolis Journal.

CARING FOR THE GOOD BOOK.

How the Scriptures We're Preserved Pre-"
vious to Their Translation.
The books Of the law were the first
books of the Bible to be collected by the
priests and leaders of the Israelites; after
the law came the written history Of the
people, in the Fifth century b. o., the
collection Of the prophets by Nehemiah;
and from his time onward the collection
of hagiographa, the Psalms, Proverbs,
Job, Canticles. All Of these had been
preserved by the priests, copied and re-
copied as occasion required, and circu-
lated in manuscripts, as of course all
writings were circulated in those days.
The dispersion Of the Hebrews and
their acquisition of other languages and
loss of the Hebrew language, necessitat-
ed the trl lsation of the Scriptures into
other than the Hebrew, and previous to
the Second century 3. 9. what we know
| as tho Septuagint translation-the LINK
was completed in Greek, designed es-
| pecially for the Hebrews living in Alex
andria and other parts of Egypt. The
Septuagint comes from tradition that
seventy scholars-seventy-tw actually
made the translation. Translations and
recensions into the Aramaic were also
made, and these translations were copied
from time to time, SO that the oldes'
manuscript of the Old Testament now
extant is only about 400 years old.
The case is the same with the New
Testament. 1t was written again ant
again, until now there are upward O
900 manuscripts for the Gospels and al
many more for the rest of the New les
lament. The oldest manuscripts are tn
Codex Sinaiticus and the Codex Vatlca

A. D. So the books of the Bible wer

THE state officers of Kansas, and the
Worlds Fair commissioners are called
all sorts of names by the republican
press, but we believe they are amply
able to look out for the interests of
their state, just the same. Mr.. FL. I'll.
Kern, one of the Worlds Fair COM
missioners, tells the following story of
how he got his money out of the
Chemical National bank after it's sus-
pension. The day the bank closed he
visited it in the morning to get some
money. The cashier was absent and
his assistant said he did not know the
combination to the safe. While parley-
ing telegram arrived to close the bank.
Kern was asked to step out but refused
to until he secured an affidavit that he
had demanded his money of the bank
before the doors were closed and had
been refused. The Kansas commission
ers were doing business through the
Chemical National, and on the day be-
fore the failure Mr.. Kern had issued
warrants for 800. which were cashed
at the banks. The warrants were then
drawn on the state treasurer of Kansas.
Kern, finding that he was stuck for
81 100, telegraphed Treasurer Biddle of
Topeka to refuse the payment Of the
warrants. Mr.. Biddle did so and they
were protested at the clearing house
across the state line and sent back to
Chicago. The bank examiner, upon
learning the facts, paid Kern ST, 100,
after which the state treasurer of Kan
sas paid the warrants.

NEIGHBORHOOD HAPPENINGS.
ELLINWOOD.

ELL1N NWOOO.
From the Advocate.
Nick Sprinkler is erecting a hand
some veranda to his dwelling house
this week
Chris Wagner is holding down his
old job with the Walnut Creek mills
again since they started up.
If it don't warm up pretty soon the
Fourth of July will seem more like
Christmas than anything else.
An old man by the name of Allen
who lived about seven miles east of
Ellinwood died last Wednesday week
ago.
An old gentleman living in the north
west part of thu city is now minus his
chin apparel on account of little
scrap he and his wife had one day this
week.
John Dick is at work on a new addi-
i>tion to his house in the southeast part
of the city. When completed he will
have the neatest residence in that part
of town.
Occasionally farmer comes to town
who claims to have wheat that will
make 25 or 80 bushels to the acre if
wheat ever made that much. 1t may
be that a few fields will make that
much, but the Advocate wishes to re-
mark right here that such fields are few
and far between.
The probabilities are that Ellinwood
will have waterworks in the near fu-
ture. We understand the new city
council is considering the question.
There is nothing Ellinwood needs
worse than a good system of water
works. She has already suffered more
from fires than any other city in this
part of the state. We can afford water.
works better than we can afford fires.
Encourage the new administration in
this enterprise.
DIED:-At her home five miles south
of this city, on Thursday, June l, 1898,
of consumption, Mrs. Emma, wife of
w. P. Rubart, in the 26th year of her
life. She had been ailing for several
years and was confined to her bed with
the loathsome disease early this spring
and was never able to rise again. Her
funeral was preached in the M. E.
church by Rev. Osborne and the re-
mains inferred in the city cemetery
Friday, in the presence of multitude
of friends.
