THE BREAKING OF RECORDS.

| What Science Can Do i'm This Line when
She Tries Hard.
Steamship captains, horse owners, bicycle
riders, and lot of other people, making
strenuous aud untirng efforts to break the
record" The great public looks on at the
game with good natured interest.
Once in a while sober science does a little
record smashing on her own account. One
of her latest and great achievements is the
discovery and application of a process for ar
tificial1y digesting food so that it is absorbed
Immediately by the system, without impos-
ing the least labor on a week stomach. The
food is called Paskola. 1t restores the debil-
itated, and gives fat to the thin because 1t is
starchy. Only starches add real, solid last
ing flesh to the body. Oils and fats don't and
never will.
Mr.. H. o. Mahoon, of Emlenton, Venango
Co., Pa, says 81 weak and run down
that thought would have to give up my
business. / could not eat nor sleep. After
one bottle of Prskola began to gain at once
and have gained over fifteen pounds in less
than three weeks and 1 now feel like a new
man.
No wonder.
Mrs. S. c. Stonch, of Wellington and Dau-
phin SITS, Philadelphia, writes: 81 have been
sick nearly three years, at times suffering
terrible burning pains in my back aud then
cold in the lower part of the bowels. Some
times thought should die. All this time
was constipated. When first began taking
Paskola, was tempted to give it up, thinking
it would do me no good, because had taken
so much medicine. feel Paskola beginning
to do me good, and to day 1 took a longer
walk than have been able to take for three
years. 1 am much stronger. am taking my
fifth bottle of Paskola, and / eat almost
everything now. an Sc years old, and was

Jay Gould once said, in CONVEX
sation with a contributor of the Lon
don st. James Gazette, "You can't do
people good turns they won't let you.
[ should not listen to them, they
would not listen to me. Surely we are
quits, and there should be no ill-feel-
ing. But there is, and as they hate me
for succeeding, hate them for fail
ing. At any rate one is as rational as
the other. If I lost, dare say should
be unreasonable enough to hate them,
and they would accordingly hate me
sooner or later. They might try and
help me, but l would not take their
advice, and accordingly they would
drop me as fool, and we would all be
standing in the same hating ratio one
to another. Men / have never seen
nor even heard of have gone about
with murder in their hearts, and if
they could have found me would have
been fools enough to kill me-just as
if that would have benefited them! 1t
surely is as natural for me to hate
them as for them to hate me. have
gone about for years with men paid to
protect me. If I did not hate every
man as cordially as every man hates
me should be unhappy, and yet |
suppose I am the most miserable dew
il in the whole world. What para
disc it all is!''

A good story is now being told at
the expense Of a we'll known Louis
vile lawyer. 1t runs thus: Two wom
en- applied to the lawyer the same
day. One wanted to be made a femme
solo, the other wanted divorce. By
some hocus pocus sort of a change the
names of the women were mixed, and
the woman who wanted to be empow
cred to act as a single woman was
granted a divorce, and vice versa.
It happened that the husband of the
woman who wanted to be made a
femme solo was drummer, and in
reading the paper from Texas, he saw
where his wife had been granted di-
vorce. She knew nothing of the mat
ter until her husband wrote home and
wanted to know what was the matter
and what he had done that she gotten
a divorce. He said he had transferred
all his property to her and did not
know how to account for her strange
actions. Then she consulted her law
yer and the apparent mystery was
made plain. She only wanted to be
made a femme solo, whereas she had
been divorced.
Rumor has it that the husband has
returned from Texas and fully under
stands the circumstances in the case,
but is afraid to visit his own house
until he and his wife are remarked
or the Judgment of the court is set
aside.-LouisUiUe Post.

A WHITE HOUSE BABY.

The recent advent of baby within
the doors Of the Executive Mansion
has brought forward numerous claim
ants for the honor of being the Oldest
living and the first child born in the
White House. The first of these hon
ors is properly the possession of Mrs.
Mary Emily Donelson Wilcox, who
was born at the Executive Mansion
during Andrew Jackson's first adj
ministration, the second child born
within its walls, but the oldest now
living, writes Alice Graham McCollin :,
in a delightful article in the January
Ladies' Home Journal To her President
jackson gave the name s'The Sun
shine Of the White House," Mary E.
Donelson Wilcox was the eldest child
wife Emily, and was born in the large
corner room of the White House
fronting on Pennsylvania Avenue, the
room in which Mrs. Harrison died.
Her christening was an event. 1t
was performed according to the ritual
of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
though read by a Presbyterian minist-
er, Rev. Mr.. Gallagher. The daughter
of the Secretary Of State, Miss Cora
Livingstone, was chosen as godmoth-
er, while Martin Van Buren, and Presi-
dent Jackson officiated as godfathers.
When the baby was brought into the
room, Mr.. Van Buren, attempted to
take her in his arms; but on her OBJ
jecting, President Jackson took her,
and held her throughout the ceremo-
ny. She enjoyed the sprinkling great
ly, laughing and cooling with pleasure
at the drops of water. When, in the
course of the ceremony, the clergy
man read the question, "Do you, in
the name of this child, renounce the
devil and all his works?" Jackson stiff
fened himself grimly, and replied in
his most emphatic tones,-
81 do, sir: [ renounce them ALL"
who knew what was the more ritual
istic reply. A lady who was presnt
said, after the ceremony, ''The Presi-
dent renounces the devil for the baby,
but not for himself" to which Jackson
responded laughingly,-
81 don't mind my enemies think
ing me devil if my frie nds find me
the reverse" Among the guests at
the christening were Robert E. Lee,
then young lieutenant of engineers,
and his wife, nee Mary Gusts.
The cere mony was held in the East
Room, where, according the con-
temporary gossip, Mrs. Madison hung
her linen to dry,-which was gayly IL
animated and decorated with flowers.

ing whether an official opinion
rendered by Solicitor Reeve, of The
Treasury department, will result
in a food of paper money, similar
to the "red dog and "wild cat'
currency of state-bank days. The
opinion is that any county, the
constitution of the state in which
it is located permitting, has the
legal right to issue interest bear
ing bearing bonds in any denomi-
nations it may see fit, and that
such bonds are not liable to feder-
al taxation. 1t is believed that
under this opinion, unless it is up
set by the courts, n county could
issue bonds as 81 each and make
the interest so low that they could
be used as currency, thus prac-
tically issuing its own money,
which would be a little more than
even the widest populist in Con-
gress has ever advocated, to say
nothing of its knocking out the
law which imposes tax of 10 per
cent ON all currency other than
that issued by the Government, a
law which Congress at it's last ses-
sion very positively declined to
repeal.

Come out Saturday, Octo-
Der %, and hear the brilliant
young orator, Hon. J. c. McKin-
ley.
The election of the entire
Republican county ticket has new
er been doubted. The question is
only one of majorities.
The repeal of the reciproci-
ty treaty with Germany effects
$40, 100000 worth of exports from
this country, and all the products
of the farm.
Don't pay any attention 10
the campaign stories that will be
sprung a few hours before election
Such stories are always without
foundation.
A. y. Seaber will have a
majority of not less that 1900 in
Adair county. The people want
the affairs of our Normal school in
competent hands.
WHAT doth it profit a farm
er to compete with free wool and
pay tariff on sugar. Mr.. Hatch
should preach from this text dur
ing the remainder of the campaign.
The report that c. n. Clark
will withdraw from the Congress
SiOnal race in favor of John Nj.
London is absurdly false. Mr..
Clark is in the race to stay and to
win.
THE price of hogs has drop
ped 81 on the hundred since the
new tariff bill went into effect.
The repeal of the reciprocity trea-
ty with Germany which compelled
that country to buy our pork is
already having a disastrous effect
on the farmer.
In the war at present wag-
ing between China and Japan the
world is being furnished with an
historic object lesson. On one
side We have a country huge in
area and enormous in population,
that has been almost impregnable
to the arts, sciences and civiliZa-
tion of the West, suddenly discov-
ering its mistake and paying the
usual fee for its experience. On
the other hand we have nation
that has put its right foot forward
in the march of progress and has
been ready to aSSimulate what is
the best of modes and methods in
foreign countries with what is best
of their own. Whatever NAV be
the political results of the present
conflict, there can be no doubt that
the awakening of China as to the
real valGe of Western progress
will practically revolutioniZe the
old exclusive spirit. The opposi-
ton to railroads cannot much
longer be a national folly. The
development of mining industries
will not be handicapped by obsolete
methods. European and Ameri-
can machinery will not be eXclud-
ed as they have been, and in the
welding together of the Celestial
Empire the merchants and manu-
facturers of foreign nations will
have a new field for commercial
and industrial enterprise. In this
sense the present war may be a
blessing rather than curse.
