she western Strike.

The great western strike has come
to an end without accomplishing any
thing but cntailing millions Of loss oI
their employers and the country an'
greater hardships upon the strikers
Thousands and thousands Of idlcrs
have succeeded in swapping jobs with
the lnborcrs.
When any man has job that does
not pay him, he should quit it quietly
and hunt him another. There is no
sense in trying to make people pay
when they cannot. One kind Of slay.
cry is as justiliabic as another, and
one had just rs well be put to scrvi
tudc as another. If congress cannot
pass some just and equitable measure
to prevent strikes it ought to admit

At meeting Of the citizens last
Saturday, to consider the educational
interests Of the town, the old board
of trustees said they had served us
long..as they wanted to. The follow
ing wero elected in their stead: Dr.
q. W. Earle, J. J. Lewis, w. r.. Nc.
Fall, G. e. Robinson and Hon. W.
Il. Bowen. The question of selling
the present school property and pur-
chasing another site and erecting a
new and more suitable building was
discussed, but no definite conclusion
was reached. There arc several ap-
plications on file for the school but
action WAS not taken by the new
board. That will probably be done
this week. Pickcns has got to bts.ir

Refinement.

Refinement looks ever with disapproval
upon needless waste and needless extrava-
gance. She carefully counts the cost and
makes the most of all material brought to
her hand. Consideration for others has
made her watchful, and nothing in her
charge is squandered or wantonly con-
sumed.
To vulgar ostentation she firmly refuses
the radiant light of her countenance, but
seeks instead the quiet hooks, the retired
haunts where dwell those who know her
true worth. The spirit of refinement lives
even with those whose tastes are simple
and pure; who make no pretenses; whose
faith in humanity is strong and real. To
those endowed with kindly tact and genial
wit, who employ all means of good within
their command, whose hearts are touched
by the grief and misery around them and
who are quick to see and respond to others
wants-with these, too, the spirit lives.
They who entertain this guest are clean In
mind and person, and the motto hung
upon the spiritual walls of home is "Clean
illness is next to goodness. "-Detroit Free
Press

Origin of the Word 'sCanard."

You often declare that some floating
piece of intelligence is a "canard" without
hardly knowing why such word should
be applied to an unfounded story The
word itself is the French for "duck," and
was first used in it's present sense in the
latter part of the Eighteenth century, hav-
ing its origin in a gigantic hoax About
that time French, German and English
papers were straining every nerve to see
which could publish the most sensational
items. Their writers ransacked the earth,
"the sky above the earth and the caverns
beneath it's surface" for material ON which
to found extraordinary stories. At last
Cornelison, one of the Paris competitors,
stated that an interesting experiment had
Just been carried out in that city which
proved the extraordinary voracity of ducks
(canards).
Twenty Of these fowls had been placed
together one morning, and at an appointed
hour one of the number was killed, cut in
to small bits, feathers and all, and fed to
the other nineteen. Fifteen minutes later
No. 10 was hashed and served to the re-
naming eighteen in the same manner. The
experiment was commenced at o'clock in
the morning, the experimenters regularly
"hashing" duck every fifteen minutes,
and at quarter to IL (noon) there was but
one duck remaining in the pen, and he OF
course was placed in the position of having
eaten his nineteen companions.
This story, pleasantly narrated, obtained
success which the writer had never even
anticipated. Before the end of the year il
had run the rounds of all the prominent
journals Of Europe, and had even beer
translated into Indian, Chinese, Japanese
and other languages. For many years
afterward the story of the twenty ca
nards" was common laughing stock, ant
the word itself has ever since retained IT.

ANGEL KISSES.

From out that portal, cleaning with its soft
and holy light.
Floating gently downward through the calm
ness of the night,
A wave Of love comes stealing on the golden,
starry tip.
And the breath of angel kisses fingers sweetly
on my lips.
The touch of baby fingers finds glad, respon-
sive thrill,
Giving peace to empty arms that nothing else
can fill.
Thoughts of morrow vanish, as the present
swiftly slips.
And eagerly reach for kisses-the kisses of
angel lips.
The dreary, weary aching of the wounded
hearts forgot
In this hour of blissful dreaming, which is and
yet is not
And when the dread awakening, with its lone
illness greet,
THANK God FOR the dreaming and the angel
kisses sweet.

Laugh on the Lawyer.

There was laughable incident In the
trial of two alleged pickpockets recently.
A detective was on the witness stand, and
the examination ran something like this:
Lawyer-Well, what made you suspect
them?
Witness-One of them had on his arm a
lightweight alpaca overcoat, with slit In
the lining, in order that he might operate
easier.
Lawyer-Now, if you saw me walking
along the street with such an ovcrcoat on
my arm, would you arrest mef
Witness-No, know you. You are MIR.
-, the lawyer.
Lawyer-Well, what's the difference be
tween lawyer and pickpocketf
To this question the witness made no re
ply, but ripple of laughter ran around
the courtroom, and one of the spectator
was heard to say:
mighty little. Philadelphia Call.

Ear Troubles.

Many of the current cures for earache
advise the dropping of various substances
into the ear One of the best specialists
of the day pronounces this usually an un-
advisable procedure" and in the place Of
such remedies prefers the application of
warmth to the region Of the ear, either by
dry heat in the form of heated flannel, cot
ton wool, bags of hops, bran or meal or
by cloths wrung out Of hot water, steam
or poultices of flaxseed or roasted onions.
Cotton should not habitually be worm
wedged into the ear, for the reason that
the air passage is thus closed, causing the
secretions of the ear to flow more slowly
or very little, and thus causing an unnat-
ural and disagreeable and perhaps injuri-
GUS dryness AS, however, many cases Of
acute aural trouble have resulted from
bathing, and especially from diving and
plunging in salt water, 1t Is q wise precau-
ton to plug the ears with cotton at such
times.-New York Post

Macyeaph Adjourned the Court.

Old lawyers haven't forgot how ON one
occasion Wayne MacVeagh succeeded in
adiourning the supreme court before the
usual hour. Mr.. MacVeagh never remain
ed in Washington over night if he coula
help it, and on this occasion he greatly de-
sired to take the O'Clock train for Phila-
delphia. Although talking to the court,
he kept his eye on the clock, and at S:4o'
giving himself just enough time to reach
the station, he ceased his argument and
said: "May it please your honors, l move
that the court do now adjourn. want to
catch the O'Clock train for home" The
cool audacity of the request seemed to par
alyze the justices, but the chief justice
made the customary order without pro-
test, and Mr. MacVeagh got his train

Platonic Love a Myth.

Love between women and men was not
invented for the entertainment OF philos
ophers, but largely for domestic purposes,
aud if platonic love is to have anything
better than a hazardous and unstable eX-
istence the conditions of it must be such
that it may prosper without conflict with
natures more important ends. Thus we
see why platonic friendships between
young people who might marry do not en-
dure Such couples get married, and their
friendship merges into more durable
sentiment, or else one of them marries
some one else, and then it lapses. AT least
it should lapse, for, if it does not, 1t not
only initiates against peace in family
but it tends to keep the unmarried pla-
tonist from going about his business and
finding himself mate according to ma
lures design. Every manageable man
besides her husband that any woman alb
serbs involves the waste of some other wo-
mans opportunities, and nature hates
waste with proverbial antipathy.
