Well Done.

One of the most unique specimens Of
the counting crisis on record occurred at
a London dinner party. He had long
made love to her, and while at the table
he learned from friend sitting next to
him that his rival intended to 'tpop the
question" that very day. What was to
be done? He was some distance from
her, while the dreaded rival was at her
side. Tearing leaf from notebook, he
wrote on it with a pencil: "Will you be
my wife? Write your answer, yes or no,
on this paper and return it to me. {"
This he sent to her by a waiter, saying:
''To the lady in blue at the end Of the
table. Be very careful" This servant
was careful enough, but the sender for
got to give him the pencil for the lady
to use. She didn't have a pencil, but
she coolly put the note into her bosom
and answered to the waiter, 'tTell the
gentleman yes, with as little betrayal
Of excitement as if she were accepting
an invitation to game of croquet.-

Love Laughs ut Doctors.

A young man wanted to marry girl,
but her rich parents forbade the match.
The young man thereupon became sick
and had terrible fainting fits. The doc
tors were called and said he would soon
die, and he said he wanted to die. The
father of the girl visited the patient,
and the poor fellow said that if he could
marry his Mary Ann he would die
happy. His dying request could certain
" not be refused, and, Mary Ann hav-
ing no objection, the minister was sent
for, and the marriage ceremony was
performed. The knot being securely
tied. the patient rose from his bed q
hale man.
It was a great cure, astonishing both
the cruel parents and the doctors, but
the bride acted as though she had ex-
pected it all the time. London Tit Bits.

The Dog Man ESCAPED.

She was standing on her front steps
on Hastings street telling two or three
women how it happened. She waved a
broom about her head and said:

down in the kitchen, heating sticking
plaster for his sore heel. Our dog was
sitting on the curbstone right out there.
Suddenly I hears rumble on the cob

procession and goes ahead and turns
over the mattress on the bed. Then
hears the children whooping, but I
thought they had goat. Then comes a

A CHlLD'S DAYS JOURNEY,

Little Feet Which All Day Long Mark the
Passing Moments.
How many miles day the little feet
Of young children will travel is often a
source of wonderment to parents who
lovingly watch them. This restless &C.
tivity was never better illustrated than
by a very old story, which may interest
readers of this column.
A grandfather who had little to do
except to watch the curious antics of his
grandchildren as they played around the
house resolved that for one day he
would follow one little fellow who
seemed especially restless, prying into
everything from morning till night.
1t proved much more of a job than he
had expected. Noon came, and if the
child was not wearied the man was, but
he had set out to 90 wherever the child
led, and he persevered. Toward night
there came sudden end to the expert
ment, when the child crept through be-
tween the rounds Of a chair where the
space was entirely too narrow for a
grown man to follow. He had to &C.
knowledge himself beaten at last.

winked one eye at it's grandfather the
story does not tell. No doubt, however,
the baby's mother thought he did

Something Of the influence Of ancient

that the rising and setting Of Sirius, the
dog star, infuses madness into the
canine race. IN our medical prescrip-
lions, too, the old superstition appears.

ter, under whose special care medicines
were supposed to have been placed, and
our nostrums are still compounded I'M

letter itself recipe, take and its -four
ish mean substantially this: "Under the
good auspices Of Jove, the patron Of
medicine, take the following goods in
the proportions set down. Some try to
throw the responsibility for the symbol
R back to Raphael, but the sum Of evil
dence points to Jupiter as its patron.
In America Friday is traditionally in
good repute. Columbus sailed on Fri

the Pilgrims landed on Friday, and on

in America, Notwithstanding all these

Other days less generally maligned
are Gains birthday, the first Monday in

and Dec. 81, when Judas hanged him

Of unlucky ID probably has its origin
with that unworthy disciple. The ill

since that time twelve grouped to-
gether fear another one.' A deep seated
prejudice obtains against any given Is
dipping together in the dish, lest one

Kentucky's Champion Horse Trader.

Kentucky's Champion Horse Trader.
Talk about your horse traders, but
Washington county has a few that can't
be beat. Last Monday one Of them came
to town, and when he left home he bare
~ had money enough to pay his toll one
way. After arriving here it was not
long until he struck some one for a
horse trade. He continued swapping
horses all day. How many different
trades he made would be hard to tell,
but late in the afternoon, when he made
an estimate of the days business, he
discovered that he had the same horse
that he started with, 2-year-old FLY,
standard and registered, a COW and q
calf, good team Of work mules, SOW
and II pigs, together with two yearling
steers and $11.65 in money. Can any

ETHICS or THE REGISTER.
What Hotel People Havs to Say About II
ties and Degrees.

What Hotel People Have 70 Say About II
ties and Degrees.
For q man to take lady to dine at =
hotel and register a. Mr.. So-and-so and
LADY, is considered the height Of igno-
rance by hotel clerks. The proper way is
to register both names, or, il the man is
sensitive, to write Mr.. So-and-so and
one. This is sometimes done, but not
very often. To use land lady" is bad
form in this generation, when it comes
to hotel registers, for obvious reasons
But this is not the only evidence of bad
form which is seen on the register.
When a man pens Mr.. before his name
he is judged as being egotistical, and no
professional man will put DR.. or Prof.
before his name if he desires to avoid
the clerks anathemas
Many city people exhibit their igno-
rance Of good breeding by going to a To-
cal hotel and giving the number and
street Of their residence. A notable in
stance Of this is we'll known jeweler,
who, when he puts his name on regis
ter, which is frequent, invariably puts
his business address after it. To put
Hon., Gen., Capt. or any other title be-
fore mans name on hotel register is
as bad as Prof. or Dr.-in fact, it is
looked upon as worse by all good hotel
men.
The only exception to the above is in
case of theatrical people, who put the
name Of their company after their
names. All professional stage people get
reduced rates at hostelries in nearly ev-
cry instance, and for them to put the
names Of their troops on the book is a
good thing for the hotel people. 1t goes
to show that the person thus registering
is not afraid of being questioned as to
his connection with company and is
not trying to get lower rates in a sur
reptitious manner. It is also in the case
Of theatrical people that there may be a
permissible violation of the rules in re-
gard to putting Mr.. before the name.
Many stars do not register, but allow
some one else to do it for them, general
~ the manager. In order to show all
possible Difference to his proteges, the
manager generally puts Mr.. before the
names of the men. In the cases Of ladies
it is invariably proper for them to put
Miss or Mrs., as the case may be, in
front of their names.-New York Dis

KERR FOR CONGRESS.

At the congressional convention held in
Mt. Vernon last Wednesday, Hon. W. S.
Kerr secured the nomination as the re-
publican candidate for congress. Two
hundred and thirtyfve ballots were re-
uuired to nominate. From the beginning
the delegates from Lorain and Huron
counties fought hard for their candidates,
Jut the key to the nomination was held
by Morrow, Ashland and few scattering
votes from Knox.
Mr.. Kerr Is one of the leading attOr-
neys of Mansfield and few years ago
represented LOrain county in the state
senate. He is self-made man and n
man fully able to represent the district.
Mr.. Ely and Mr.. Laylin are both repre-
sentative men and would have served us
well, but as there was but one position to
be filed there could be but one nominee.
The district is composed Of Lorain, Hur-
on, Ashland, Richland, Morrow and
Knox counties and might well be called
the garden district Of Ohio. 1t ought to
be represented by republican. Let all
republicans work for the best interest Of
the party and Mr.. Kerr will represent us
from March 4, 1895, to March 4, 1897, at

Immense Quantities of LArve Brought

Immense Quantities of LArve Brought
Down by Glaciers
It is matter of surprise to all who,
for the first time, have any experiences
in high northern latitudes, to note
the great abundance Of insect life in
Alaska. The writer Of this paragraph,
says Meehan's Monthly, was especially
interested in noting the large amount
of Larvae and other low conditions Of
animal life which was carried down
from the melting glaciers into the
rivers and streams which flowed from
them. 1t is 10 this that we have to
attribute the great abundance of high
er forms of animal life which prevail.
Fish especially are In such quantities
near the coast, attracted by this
abundance, that II seems like repeat
ing the tales OF Baron Munchausen to
the listener. The young son Of the
writer, who was with him in this ex-
pedition, was, with a couple of Indians
in boat, able to drive salmon into
narrow creeks IN such abundance that
the boat would be driven against the
fish in their endeavors TO escape. They
could have been dragged up in shoals
by any strong and ordinary net. In
the earlier history Of Colorado very
much stress was laid on the fact that
Fremont saw bee on one of the high
elevations while crossing the Rocky
mountains. Lieut.. Peary In his recent
expedition TO North Greenland found
a humble bee on the north coast OF
Greenland-the highest point OF land
yet reached by human being so far
as known. This explorer states that
not only bees, but other insects abound
as soon as the spring faiiay opens.
Flowers Of many kinds are particular
ly beautiful and abundant, affording q
good chance for honey and pollen-col-
lecting insects to lay up rich stores in
advance of their long Arctic winters.

{ DEATH IS RARELY PAINFUL.


| But Sensations Of Approaching Dissolu-
tion Arc Little Known to Physicians.
Descriptions of the sensations of
those who thought they were about to
die, but who passed into more or less
profound state of Inconsistencies and
afterward recovered. though intense
and realistic, cannot be accepted as
authentic portrayals Of the sensations
Of the dying, since these persons did
not die, says a medical writer in Kate
Fields Washington. The temporary
suspension of all the physical signs of
life, as in trance or lethargy. may 30
exactly simulate death that all may
agree that the person is dead, while
yet that indefnable something which
holds the soul to the body remains and
is capable of reinstating the common
phenomena of life. We have no reason
to assume that the sensations expe-
rienced In passing into this state of
unconsciousness resemble the sensa-
tions OF those who have actually felt
the earthly house of this tabernacle
dissolved. Unconsciousness Is not
death. 1t only effectively resembles
it. Physicians at the bedside of the
dying, while holding the fickering,
weakening pulse beneath the finger,
eagerly watch for some word or sign
expressive of the sensations of ap-
preaching dissolution. Nothing, how
ever, of value ever comes to us. In
deed many life goes out leaving be.
hind clear indications that there is no
appreciation whatever of the great
overshadowing change that is upou 1t,
even though the mind remains clear
and active to the last.
A mother hearing me whisper at her
beside: "She is dying" opened her
eyes and replied: "T'll be better in
minute" though when the minute had
elapsed she had given her last sigh
her last heart-throb. A little girl
clinging to her fathers hand one sunny
morning said: Papa, light the lamp;
it is getting so dark" and Immediately
expired. A young man asked: why
do you all cry2 shall get we'll soon,"
and fell back on his pillow, dead.
These expressions show clearly that
the putting on Of immortality was un-
accompanied by sensations indicative
Of the change.
In great majority Of cases death Is
preceded by period Of unconscious
ness, more or less profound and Of
greater or less duration. In this state
the vital spark goes out painlessly and
without any evidence of the mind be-
ing illumined for single instant by
returning consciousness. Deathbeds
are rarely painful.

WOMEN WORKERS IN BRITTANY.
While the Men Idle Away Their Tim
Their Wives Labor

While the Men Idle Away Their Time
Their wiyss Labor.
The women Of Brittany are remark
able for their individuality, industry
and strength of character. In "Artis-
tic Travel" the author says that while
the men slumber and smoke, the
women are building little fortunes or
propping up old ones.
Let us picture a prominent person
age at the old Hotel du Lion dor. She
has beautiful name, Augustine, pro-
nounced with enviable accuracy by all
the household.
She hovered about us like fairy, at
tending 10 all our wants In the most
delicate way; TO outward seeming q
ministering angel with pure white
wings, but in truth, n drudge, q me-
thodical housewife, massive and hard
TO the touch.
She did the work of three Partisan
garcons, and walked upstairs, unaided,
with portmanteaus which would re-
quire two men to lift, anywhere out
Of Brittany. She slept in box in the
kitchen and dressed somehow" In
five minutes. She ate what was left,
contentedly, at the end of the day,
and rose at sunrise TO do the laborious
work Of the house, helping also at
harvest time in the fields.
She had the sweetest of smiles, when
she liked, an unconquerable habit OF
taking snuff, and murderous way Of
killing fowls In the early morning
which we shall not easily forget.
How II comes TO pass that this girl OF
nineteen occupies such an important
position In the household Is one OF
those things which are peculiar TO
Brittany. All through the land, In the
houses, in the factories, and In the
fields, the strong, firm hand and arm
OF q woman does the work.

Inaugurate n Reign of Terror at Walston,
Pa.-Mining Property In Possession OF the
Strikers - Troops Called Out - Reports
from Other Localities.
HARRISBURG, Pa, June 22.-An order
was issued from national guard head
quarters yesterday afternoon, ordering
the Fifth and Sixteenth regiments and
the Sheridan troop to the scene of the
Jefferson county riots, and Gen. Wylie
was instructed to precede them and use
all means to restore order. Failing in
this he was instructed to use force and
fire on the rioters. Gov. Pattison has
received n private dispatch from a
prominent gentleman in Punxsutaw-
ney, which says that the situation is
extremely critical. The rioters are de-
stroying property and forcing the
English-speaking citizens to assist
them in picket duty. The men are
armed and are terrorizing the entire
vicinity of Walston. 1t is thought that
the regiments called out will be sufi-
cient to restore quiet, but Maj. Gen.
Snowden was empowered TO call out
more troops II necessary.
PUNxsUTAwNEY, Pa, June 29.-The
situation at Walston is unchanged.
The warlike Hungarians and Italians
are in full possession and are having
things their own way. Farmers who
were hauling tanbark on the road, were
made to quit and every stranger who
passes Walston must render an account
of himself. The citizens are thorough
ly disgusted at the high-handed atti-
tude of the foreigners.
II was reported here yesterday that
the pumps had been stopped at Walls
ton and that the mines are being
flooded. Forty-eight hours cessation
Of the pumps would require at least six
weeks work to get the mines in condi-
tion again. Superintendent Snyder, OF
Walston, was notified by the Italians to
leave or he would be killed, and he left
for Ohio at once. No actual riot is an
ticipated unless an attempt is made 10
start the mines at Walston or Adrian,
in which case a desperate fight is inc
vitable.
PITTsBURG, June 22.-Latest reports
from the railroad district indicate that
nearly all the mines have resumed, and
that since Monday morning the output
has been enormous. The heavy de
mands made upon the operators by
manufacturers has taxed the mines u
the limit. In the railroad district the
only big companies that have not re
sumed are the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal Company and the Pittsburl
and Chicago Gas Coal Company.
ST.. LOUIS, June PA large number
