ATTENTION is called to a commuDica-
tion in this mornings REGISTER about
the North Market street extension OF
the Street Railway. The writer of the
article referred to is writing with the
bestNSht be could obtain on the sub
ject before him, but the truth of the
situation is Just this: The railway COM
pany, it is believed, does not want TO 90
I'D Market street, since only a few
months prior to the company's request
for the right Of way on Mar
ket, it was announced the route
was impractlcable. Council has not
urged the matter as il should have
done. The committee probably never
urged nor requested Col. WmTE to draw
ND the ordinance. Every person who
is familiar with the method Of transact
ing business in Council knows that the
ordinance would have been prepared
long ago had any interest been manifest
ed. The North Wheeling people will
first have to stir up Council with sharp
stick, then give the committee good
.oking with a sharper stick, and finally
public sentiment so strong that
the Railway Company will be compelled
20 act. There will be no trouble about
preparing the ordinance IL the North
Wheeling people get together and get
after Council.

People now coming home from their
vacations feel very tired and think il
harder 70 work than ever.
II seems very strange, but people who
have had a vacation OF a month or more
have less energy for commencing work
again than II they had not rested at all.
The more one rests the more tired one
grows. Thus, fatigue is felt more in
the morning and on Sunday than at any
other time. The tasks OF the day never
seem so irksome as upon Monday moru-
ing after the Sunday rest. Sunday rest
makes men tired, and vacation rest
makes them real tired.
TIE tired feeling which comes to Us
all under the above circumstances, is
onlv apparent and not real. 1t is simp-
" the reaction that comes from the
Resting OF the nerves, brain and mus
eles.

largely by distributing blanks to be

known as tramps. AS the writer claims

The HOnninx Pigeon.

The numerous experiments made
by'balloonistsh have proved that pigeons
are incapable of flying at any great
height. Birds thrown out at 5000
meters fell like dead, and even at the
moderate height of 300 meters pigeons
liberated by the balloonist CASTOR
Tissandier approached the earth in a
spiral course. 1t is evident. hence,
that they are not guided wholly by
sight To bring point 800 miles
distant within the range of vision, it
would be necessary to ascend nearly
20. 900 meters. The carrier tpigeon.
starting on such o journey. must con-
sequently start with faith in the un.
seen.
AS regards speed. thirty or thirty.
five miles an hour is considered talr
average in good weather. The greater
the distance, the smaller the proba-
bility of the prompt return of the
bird. At a distance of, say 100 miles,
almost all birds return safely il the
weather is favorable, but at distances
of 400 or 500 mileO it is impos ,ible to
reckon confidently on the birds re-
turn. 1t appears curious, but it is q
we'll established fact, that as the bird
nears its home its speed is &C
tolerated.

About Undershirts.

Just now there is very strong un-
dercurrent Of feeling against the I'M
dershirt. Two stirring attacks upon
that garment have recently appeared,
and we understand that there is
considerable excitement in New
York and other cities on the subject.
1t is claimed that the undershirt as
at present constituted. is menace
to one of the most cherished and an
Gent OF our institutions The agita.
tors against it assert that the admira.
ton upon which marriage is founded
Is invariably destroyed by the under
shirt, not, as might be supposed, be-
cause it cOnceals, but because it re-
reveals too much. AS our esteemed but
very ungIammatical contemporary,

fully states it IN advocating an un-

early '3O's or Whereabouts. At that

affairs-One elephant. few animals,
and some horses generally constitute

came to town the men were always
entertained at an inn which was on
Main street, where the old DePauw

cages, and horses were housed in the

between himself and MY Lord, the
elephant He was kind to the beast,
which, in its clumsy way. manifested
great regard for the hostler.
ION the occasion. which lives in
local history, the circus had arrived
and was winding its way through the
narrow alley into the stable when
prone on the ground in the middle of
the alley was discovered Cooper, the
hOstler, in Il drunken sleep. The
horses passed around him, but as the
elephant came shutting along every
body who witnessed the episode ex-
pected to see the hostler stepped upon
and crushed. When the big beast
reached the limp form he stopped
short, inspected the obstacle, and
then wound his trunk around it,
The crowd shuddered; surely now he
would throw the man and dash him
to pieces on the stones Cheers went

He bore him safely into the livery

Philosophy Cannot Explain Individual
Likes and Dislikes.
All the philosophers who have
thought and studied and pOndered
since the world began have not been
able to say or explain WHY we like
some people and places and things
and dislike others. They have talked
very learnedly about heredity and i'd
iosyncrasies and the personal equation
and the convOlutions of the gray
matter OF tho brain, but after all they
are reduced to what VIC call a child's
reason, that is because" This mat
ter of likes and dislikes il very in
teresting and amusing study 1t pre-
sents this advantage over most prob
lemS that the student may spend a
lifetime in the contemplation and ex-
animation OF his own likes and dis
likes without having to seek any
further for an object lesson, which is
manifestly matter OF great value to
one OF an inquisitive turn of mind.
He may put himself to all the why's
and wheref0res that he could address
to collective humanity, and from that
epitOme of the race he will learn as
much, or as little, as from all the
men and women who have been in
the world since Adam.

which seems an earthly paradise,
with everything to appeal to the finer

and yet he does not like it. The
next day he is in some place vastly
inferior in every respect, and vet he
feels that sense of content and self
satisfaction which we all recognize as
the most pleasureable of all emotions.
Can he resist asking himself why?
AS with places, SO it Is with people.
One makes new acquaintance. man
or woman, endowed with abundant,
noble and lovable qualities, univer-

Dueling Is No joke.

it is a great mistake to imagine
that casualties are the exception to
European meetings on the field of
honor. says the ST. Louis Republic.
On the contrary, they constitute the
rule, their average amounting to as
high as so per cent of the duels
fought in Germany. Australia. Italy,
Russia, Belgium, Holland, and Spain,
while in France the average is only
about 40 per cent. There were 4, 900
duels fought during the year 1890, in
which 700 men were killed outright,
1000 sustained dangerous wounds
which in many cases resulted fatally,
while no less than 4, 800 of the re-
naming combatants received minor
injuries That is t. say, out of 5000
principals in 1000 duels only l,4OO
escaped without harm. The average
is nearly Identical in the other coun-
tries above named, these figures be-
ing based on official records From
this it will be seen, except perhaps in
France. the chances of escaping
scatheless from duel are relatively
very small.
Another disagreeable consideration
OF the "affair of honor" is the knowl-
edge that. instead Of getting hurt or
killed yourself, you may have the
misfortune to intlict a mortal wound
upon your adversary. in which case
the tribunals of the country will gen.
orally sentence you to term of sew
eral months imprisonment and to pay
heavy dHmapeS tn the roiafivaS NJ tho

''Can you really make a dimple in
twenty minutes?" reporter asked
the ''dOctOr" who has been notifying
society ladies Of his ability to make
three dimples an hour at IS dimple.
1t was in big brick building on
Market street and the 'doctor" was
very polite man.
"Dimples? Oh. yes, ma'am. very
easy and painless, assure YOU. Now,
for making dimple in chin such as
yours, where one is already started
by nature, the operation is very SIM
pie indeed. ! just make slight in

About Marriage.

No test of character is more trying
than the test matrimonial, IL the
contracting parties are not perfectly
harmonious, says writer in an Eng
fish Magazine.
Marriage can become obnoxious
from excess OF attention, il not in-
dulged in the right spirit, and equally
from neglect and Indifference.
A wife may make such demands
upon her husbands attention and
time as to make himself little better
than slave, anu slavery is CALLING to
the most submissive.
Such wife puts shackles on his
feet, a palsy to his hands, and a bur
den to his shoulders
Each should have perfect confidence
in the other.
Should one remain away from the
other any length OF time unaccounted
for by him, let silence be your mont
tor until voluntary return reveals
the secret Of the absence.
Both men and women, united in
the marriage relation. are nece ssarily
tried and perp!exed at seasons, when
silence should close their lips until
moderation takes possession of them.
JealOusness of trifling natures
should never be entertained for sim
gle moment.
To prevent all such misunderstand-
ings, persons entering the sacred Or
deal of married life should acquaint
themselves with the disposition,
tastes and unavoidable requirements
of their partners, and resolve to gov
ern themselves as much as possible
thereby.

Concrete.

Concrete, as material for engi-
neering works, has, until within COM
paratively recent years, been chiefly
confined to harbor works, but lately
it has been used In the construction
of railway works. both at home and
abroad. The advantage of employ.
ing this material is apparent in dis
tricts where the absence of good
building stone or clay for the manu-
facture of bricks makes the cost of
masonry or brick structures very
great.

Metal Paint.

A new kind of paint is announced.
which, it is claimed, possesses IN a
peculiar degree the properties of pre-
serving metal from rust, and is unaf-
fected by either heat or cold. When
applied to sheet on it is found that
the coating is not affected by warm
water or steam, nor is it at all in
fuenced by the action OF acid and
alkaline liquids, ammonia gas, n.y.
drochloric acid gas and sulphuretted
hydrogen gas The principal ingred-
lent in this paint is silicate of iron
which is found In the neighborhood
OF natural deposits of granite which
have become decomposed by contact
with the air.

Some years ago physician, named
Barber, lived at Oshkosh. One day
he was called to see a man few
miles from town. 1t was a serious
case, and, after doing what he could
for the patient. DIR. Barber called his
employer aside and said;
"Well, your hired man can't get
over this. He'll probably be dead be-
fore morning. It's very contagious
disease, too, he's got, so you ought 10
get him buried as soon as you can. l
advise you to 20 and dig his grave
right away, and as soon as he IS dead
bury him."
DR. Barber took his departure and
the farmer dug the grave.
But the patient recovered, it was
very unprofessional for him to do this
under the circumstances; but he didn't
die, and that grave became a subject
of ID good deal of talk. DR.. Barber
was continually hearing of it.
Some months later brother physi-
clan died, and the local physicians
met to decide what should be done
He had come from Canada, and it was
supposed that perhaps his Canadian
friends might want him buried in the
Dominion.
I'VE might inter him temporarily, -
observed one Of the physicians, with
glance toward DR. Barber Il I'M
derstand that our brother here has a
vacant grave on hand"
Eyes" retorted DIR. Barber, II
suppose I'm the only doctor here who
hasn't got all his graves full. Pitts
