emphatically, ''that the substance,
the literary contents of book or

the title. You may call your next

The following quotation from an
author who had experience with
General Gordon's lever victorious
army" shows Cinnamon are admira
bly, suitable for soldiers:
1.-THE old notion is pretty well got
rid of that they are at all cowardly
people when properly paid and eff
GENTLY led, while the regularity and
order of their habits, which dispose
them to peace in ordinary times. give
place to a daring bordering upon
recklessness in time of war. Their
intelligence and capacity for remem
bering facts make them well fitted
for use in modern warfare, as do also
the coolness and calmness of theiI
disposition.
Physically they are on the aver
age not SO strong as Europeans, but
considerably more SO than most OF
the other races of the east, and on a
cheap diet of rice, vegetables, salt
fish and pork they can go through a
vast amount of fatigue, whether in a
temperate climate or tropical one,
where Europeans are i'll fitted for ex-
ertion. Their wants are few, they
have no caste prejudices and hardly
any appetite for intoxicating liquors.

''During trip which l took through

tied together, mouth to mouth, and
fixed in a wooden frame, made to

"A quantity of black sand ran from
one bottle into the other in just half
an hour, and when the upper bottle
was empty the frame was reversed.
Twelve short sticks marked with
notches from to IL were hung upon
a string, and hook was placed be
tween the stick bearing the number

There was nothing of fear, or inquiry

the prisoners face and joking with the
deputies, he followed back to his cell

Simpson and Big Guns.

Going back to Washington from
witnessing a test of the Is inch gun,
Jerry Simpson was asked what he
thought of the days proceedings.
After denouncing war as unnecessary
and a navy as useless Mr.. Simpson
said that his opinion of the 13-inch
gun could best be illustrated by lit
tie story. "A stald New England
Quaker, he said, ''who was strenu-
ously opposed to the use of an organ
in church at last found that he could
not prevent his people from getting
one, and SO he was induced to go and
hear one played. He finally acqui-
esced about as follows: Well, if
thee insists on praising God by a
machine, I suppose it's best to have
a good one.' and that" added Mr..
Simpson, lis about my idea concern

An Ambitious wolnan's Fear.

In a certain city which is neither
Hartford nor New Haven a colonial
dame sought tie books of heraldry
in the public library to learn what
she could of her ancestors. Finding
three mullets on the armorial bear
ings, she became very unhappy and
returned in tears to contide to the
sympathizing librarian her fears that
her ancestors had sold fish! Perhaps
her mind unconsciously resorted to
Percival'spoem of THE Coral Grove,
"where the purple mullet and the
goldfish rove" possibly to Saxe's
lines:
Depend upon il, my mullish friend,
Your family thread you cannot ascend
Without finding 1t waxed at the further end
By some plebeian vocation.
The relief to her wounded feelings
was very great when the librarian
kindly assured her that mullets in
heraldry did not mean fish, but spur
rowels, the little wheels of the spur
made in the sharp points.
The moral of which is evidently
that one should not be ashamed of
ones ancestors, even if they are sup
posed to have sold fish, because per
haps they did not.-Hartford Post.

Repairing Fences

There is a great deal of work that
can be done ON a farm to good ad
vantage after farm work proper is
finished. There is no better time in
the year to put the fences in good
shape than when the ground is fro
zen. 1t is easy to get about the fields
with material, and the work has just
exercise enough about it to make it
pleasant. A fence that is gone over
every year seldom needs a great deal
of repairing. Yearly attention keeps
it in good condition, but neglect it for
q few years. and it will require as
much labor to put it in good trim as
it takes to build a new fence.-De
troit Tribune.

COOL As A CUCUMBER.
The Brutal Murderer Receives His senten ce
Without Emotion.
fRiver Press.l

IRiver Press.l
The actions of John III. Osnes in
court today can well he taken as an
indication OF the cool, brutal manner
in which he deliberately crushed the
head of Ole Lilledall out of all SEM
blance to humanity and then cut his
throat. Never was man cooler or
more unconcerned than WAS Osnes as
he walked into the court to receive
his death sentence. He sat down as
unconcerned as though an absolute
stranger to any of the occurrences
since March last and seemed free from
any thought OF past crimes, present
conviction or impending punishment.
Judge DuBose ordered Osnes to
stand up and then reviewed the facts
regarding the charge against Osnes OF
the murder of Lilledall, the trial and
conviction and the duty of passing
sentence. The judge inquired whether
Osnes desired TO make any statement
why sentence should not be passed
and the young man glanced carelessly
toward his counsel and merely OBJ
served:
my counsel will state all / care to
have said"
Thos. W. Murphy arose and said:
..Your honor, my client has nothing
to say except this, that he believes
the two principal witnesses for the
prosecution were prejudiced against
him, and did not testify truthfully.
He has no fault to find with the jury
for arriving at this verdict upon the
evidence as presented"
Judge DuBose then passed the death
sentence, under which Osnes will be
hanged on Friday. June 20, 1894, be
tween the hours of 10 a. m. and 8
p. m.
At this point all eyes were centered
upon the prisoner, but Osnes never

How to Manage a Daughter.

First-You can't do it.
Second-Give her her own way it
will save her the trouble of taking
it.
Third-Pay for her dresses, if
you can afford to. Her dressmaker
will sue you if you don't.
Fourth-If she takes fancy to
any man you do not want her to
marry, tell her you have set your
heart on her marrying him and
swear she shall never marry any
one else. You can then give her
free hand, and she wouldn't have
him if he was the only man left.
Fifth-If there is any man you
want her to marry, kick him out
of the house, order the servants
never to admit him, distribute
man-traps and spring guns and
bulldogs all round your grounds,
lock her up in her room and vow
if she marries him you won't leave
her a penny. You will not have
to wait long after that for the
elopement.
Sixth-If she has no voice en-
courage her to sing whenever you
give a party. 1t will attract atten.
tion to her and give your guests
an excuse for complimenting her.
Never mind the neighbors.
Seventh-If you are poor man
teach your daughter how to dance
and play the piano. She can learn
cooking and dressmaking and
those things after she is mar
ried,
