WISE WORDS,

Sorrow is healed by bathing it in
tears.
Marrying for spite is doubling the
trouble.
We love flowers most when we don't
need bread.
When Time makes exchanges Time
takes the boot.
A woman never loves man for what
he does for her.
Music Is the chaste or voluptuous
dance of sounds.
Hvpocrites are the counterfeit coin
age of mankind.
Imitation is the first attempt of the
child at education.
One can counterfeit almost every
thing else but courage.
Unravel an illusion and the threads
will never bear respinning.
Friendship is to love as the steady
light is to the lightning's flash.
Even the homeliest human being
finds some comfort looking in mir
ror.
A man may imperil his immortal
soul by not keeping his scales bal
anced.
Mans capacity for meanness when
he sets his head in that direction is
immense.
An ounce of solid home work is
worth more than pound OF oon,on-
ton enthusiasm
Dreams are broken bits of reality
placed in the shifting Kaleidoscope of
the sleeping mind.
A gossip can do more with the
tongue in one week than the victim
can do with his entire body in year.
If star came down to earth, it
wouldn't be there day until some
body would say it was only tallow
candle.
To decry the healer and his art and
then to ride post haste for the ply
stefan upon approaching qualms is
typical of humanity.
When an idea once gets into the
labyrinth of the brain there is no
knowing what turn it may take or
what developments may ensue.

The Best Oranges,

Big oranges are not good. They
are all skin and fiber. If you want

fruit; that is, fruit that runs 175 or
200 to the box, Weigh it in the hand

oranges are full of wine and sugar
and very heavy. A thin, smooth skin
is II good sign. Wide, deep pored
skins are unmistakable signs of n

oranges usually cost more than rus
sets, because they are prettier. When
the commission merchant buys in u

wine he takes as much of the cargo as
he needs; if it runs dry he cuts the
price or refuses to trade. There is no
surer way to tell the real value OF an
orange, mandarin or grape fruit.-St.

THE HARVEsTERs.

Hurrah, rs aneld got
We walk and reap MS tho hours drift on,
We rake and bind and our plumy sheaves
Arc fair to look upon.
For tho hours of coming winter ewes
Woare gathering comfort and mirth;
Her bins o'erlowing with ripened grain
Are the joy all the earth.
Oh Earth Is n goodly sight,
With its billowy fields OF gold,
The fnrrow that last years pIowshare turned
Brings riches hundred fold.
The sower who cast the seed,
How he sings In his inmost heart,
For JOY that in this harvest wealth
His hand bore goodly part.
Then hurrah, as aileld we go,
For the prize that awaits our hands
And we'll sing, rs our scythes flash In and
out,
Old songs OF tho harvest lands;
Old songs whose rhythm holds
The welded music Of stone and blade
And the psalm of the winds, from seas oil
grain,
As they fly over hill and glade.

Here is n note for coin collectors.
1t is probable that no boy who has
collected the tokens of various nations
has ever before heard of the circulat-
ing medium which n Mexican traveller
once discovered while travelling
through the great republic on its
southwestern borders As the story
goes, the traveller bought some lines,
and gave the girl who sold them one
dollar in payment By way of change
she returned him forty-nine pieces of
soap the size of II sweet biscuit. After
expressing his surprise, police officer
who witnessed the incident informed
him that soap was legal tender in
that country. -Harper's Young Pco-

HypnOtism in Surgery.

Hypnotism as a substitute for ether,
chloroform and other opiates is advo-
Gated strongly in the Arena by DR..
James r. Cooke. He believes seventy.
five to eighty per cent. of the cases in
which such drugs are now used might
be treated with hypnotism. The shock
to the system would be avoided, rs
well as the disagreeable after effects.
A case is described where prolonged
hypnotism was successfully used to re-
duce the pulse, which was at 1870, of a
young man suffering from most pain.
full disease, who was complete nervous
wreck, and could obtain no sleep. In
two minutes the pulse fell to lOS, and
in thirteen minutes he was breathing
deeply in sleep, and the body was in
a state of repose. Hypnotism was also
used in place of chloroform during the
narrowing daily treatment of an in
ternal wound, and the patient was
thus dragged from the jaws of death.
In dental operations also, DR.. Cooke
has frequently used hypnotism.-New
York Observer.

A Big Tunnel.

The new double line railway tunnel
made through the Standedge hills
from Marsden to Diggle by the Lon
don and Northwestern Railway Com
pany has been officially inspected and
q certificate has been granted for its
opening, says the Blackburn Eng
land Times. The first ordinary train
to run through the tunnel was the 1872
passenger train from Diggle. 1t was
four years ago that the first sod of the
new tunnel was cut. The tunnel is
three miles and sixty yards long. The
maximum number of men employed
on the works has been 1900. The work
of boring the tunnel was of stupen-
dous character, the geological forma-
ton being milestone grit and Yore-
dale shale, with coal in few seams
too thin almost throughout to be
worth separating. The character OF
the work may be judged from the fact
that 40 tons of gellgnite were used
IN blasting operations. The walling
of the tunnel is throughout of bricks,
no fewer than %, 900, 900 bricks being
used.

The ISSUE.

The only charge made against
Sheriff Houde, 50 far as we know,
was that as a sheriff he was very
expensive to the county. That, at
least, was the substance OF the circu-
lars that were printed in different
languages, and distributed over the
county. Comparisons were made
with other counties, and it was
large amount to pay the sheriff OF
Morrison county for doing the work
OF his office. No specific items were
mentioned as Overchargts, but the
general charge of extravaganza was
made. The complaint is nf equal
force against the general county
management, as the expenses are al
lowed to exceed by $4,000 the pos
sible collections under the highest
tax rate allowed by law. The ex-
penses of the sl.eriff's Office were not
to blame for but fraction Of the
yearly deficit, and the argument
against him applies to the general
government. The Democratic county
officers who witnessed the over
whelming defeat Of Houde may rest
assured that the sentiment that de-
manded change in his office will
also reach several others who are
before the people for reelection.
They were sure Of a hard fight any
way, but their treachery to one of
their fellow officers must serve to
disgust even that part OF the public
that was inclined to support them.
The plan to make HOu'le a sacri-
flee to the just demand OF the tax
payers that county expenses be
brought within the natural limit
| will not save the scalps OF the rest OF
the county officers. The people de-
mand more than one change in
county officers, and will get what
they are after this time. A good
ticket in opposition to that named
by the Democrats Monday can be
elected from top to bottom. The
court house crowd has shown an err.
t re disregard OF the interests of the
taxpayers OF the county by running
| the expenses beyond a reasonable
limit, and q general change should
be made.

Frank D0oner Has Troubles of His

The McLain and Dooner families
seem to be having an interesting
time OF it, and their troubles will be
aired in Justice court in this city
soon. Frank Dooner, who lives in
this city, is son-in-law OF McClain.
also a brother-in-law to Mrs. Blazer.
Last week the Dooner household
was blessed by the arrival OF an in.
FAINT and Mrs, Blazer went over, and
then the row began. It is claimed
that DOOner had some words with
Mrs. B. and shook his fist in her face,
at any rate that is what is alleged
in a complaint made against Doo-
ner. HIS was arrested Friday night
and ON Saturday when he came up
for trial he asked for jury and will
have his hearing Friday. Dooner
then went home, and he claims that
the McLains called ON him Sunday
night and proceeded to do him up,
and from the looks of his face they
succeeded. His wife then left and
went to her fathers house and Doc
ner gives notice that he will pay
none of her bills. 1t is a pretty bad
ly mixed-up row and Boomer may
"take the law" on some of his rela-
tives in the near future.
The McLain family took another
whirl at Dooner Tuesday by having
him arrested charged with assault
upon Mrs. McLain. boomers case
was put over until Friday and he is
out ON bonds.
