Maid Of AL, Work Adjective.

inquired of the head mistress of a
girls school why she so frequently made
use of the adjective mice" She replied,
Because it is such useful maid of all

BILE of thinkingl" 'Then you teach your
girls to be inaccurate?'' 81 don't think
it is being inaccurate. The word in most
cases expresses my meaning better than
any other +" A relative Of mine reproved
one of her nieces for her liberal Use Of
lawfully jolly" The young lady re-
piled: "Oh aunt, do not deprive me of
that awfully jolly expression If were
deprived of it, shouldn't know what
to say"
The frequent use of the expletive
"you know was justified to me on the
ground that it keeps the listeners at
tention awake
The fashionable novel presses into its
service these flowers of speech. In Mr..
Norris Countess Radna" a young gen.
tleman thus addresses a young lady,
"I'm so awfully sorry that you are
going to desert us. - "I'm awfully sor-

posedly, "and my parents will be aw-
fully sorry to see me. %
Of this young lady's two lovers the
author himself declares in the same
chapter (24) that one was much "nicer"
than the other. In chapter 81 the nicer
one, in declining an invitation, says,
Thanks awfully, but I'm afraid I
can't. Notes and Queries.

A ANNOUNCEMENTS.

The name of Hon. D. A. Hollingsworth, of Har
rison county, will be presented for nomination al
the approaching Republican Convention of the
Sixteenth District.
His ability and fitness for the position are well
known and recognized in the district, and it is
conceded that if elected to Congress he will take
high rank from the first.
Besides, Harrison county has not been hOnOred
with congressional nomination since 1870; and,
meantime, her Republican voters have in turn
aided in the election to Congress OF Danford, of
Belmont, Updegraff of Jefferson, Taylor, of Car
roll; and, at all times, have given royal support
to the other nominees Of the party. Other things
being equal the unwritten rule of rotation in the
district should now be observed in favor of Har-
rison county.
Mr.. Hollingsworth is an intelligent, self-made
man, well informed on the vital questions of the
tariff currency and labor, and is in full touch and
sympathy with all classes Of the people.
AS private soldier he served his country
faithfully in actual war, as an active working Re
publican his record is unblemished, and as pri-
vate citizen, his character and integrity are un-
asSailable. The Republicans of Harrison county
feel that he has earned promotion.
No special canvass of the district will be made
in his interest but it is confidently hoped that his
candidacy will receive that fair and just consider
alton which should always characterize Republic
an action.

Killing Crocodiles.

"There are two ways of killing croc-
odiles,' writes an ex-resident of India
Zone is by shooting with rifle, but the
most satisfactory way of dealing with
them, besides being far the most sport,
ing, is to bait good large hook with a
bird or small animal and fasten it by
a chain to good long rope, the end of
which is firmly picketed, the rope being
coiled and the bait laid In shallow wa
ter. There must be lots of slack line, as
the crocodile does not swallow anything
at once, but seizes it and takes it into
deep water to gorge A number of lines
may be laid and looked up in the morn
ing or cool of the evening. When hook
ed, it will take a good many men to
haul Il crocodile out, and as he resents
the operation and can use his tail as
well as his jaws one or two sportsmen
will find considerable entertainment in
dispatching him with spears. Some croc-
odiles grow to an enormous size, and
their maws always contain round white
stones, and often trinkets, the relics Of
inside passengers. The writer assisted
at the death of not extraordinarily
large 'snubnose' which had six women's
rings in her. .'-Badminton Library.

Proof That sparrows Can Count.

There is no doubt but that birds can
count, and an incident witnessed sew
eral years ago illustrating this fact
amused me not little. A sparrow, with
four of her young, had nest in spar
row house under the veranda Of my
dwelling. One day the old bird few up
to the nest with four living worms in
her beak. The four little birds reached
out their heads with the customary
noise and were each fed worm. The
sparrow then few away, and after time
returned again with four worms in her
beak, which were disposed Of as before.
The bird kept this up for some time,
during which was an interested spec
tator.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

A kABYLE MARRIAGE.
The Ceremony Is Complicated and Winds
Up With an Exciting Incident.

The Ceremony Is Complicated and Winds
Up With an Exciting Incident.
The wedding ceremony among the
Kabyles is interesting because of its
comparative resemblance to the customs
of the old Greeks and Romans and even
to those which still prevail in seques-
tered parts of France. Here it is the
girls father who exacts wedding por-
ton, sum of about fs, for which the
bridegroom has generally to rely upon
the advances of his friends. Often, too,
the young man has not house for his
bride, in which case his friends set to
work and build one, no very difficult
matter.
On the wedding day the bride is led
through the villages in the neighbor-
hood, mounted ON a mule and escorted
by friends and relations, who shout and
fire guns again and again. The various
householders hasten forth to offer her a
sieveful of beans, nuts or dried figs OF
these she takes handful, which she
kisses and then replaces in the sieve
All the offerings are collected in sacks
by the old women Of the procession as
contributions to the young peoples lar
der.
At the bridegroom's house the girl s
hands are washed with liquid butter
Then they give her some fresh eggs,
which she breaks on the mules head
and inside the unhappy animals ears,
thereby, it is believed, counteracting
any evil designs against her and her
husbands happiness. Before entering
the house she drinks milk, fresh and
sour, and also water, and scatters over
her shoulder handful of barley, wheat
and salt for the good of the family.
The husband then approaches her and
fires pistol above her head to signify
that thenceforward he has the power of
life and death over her. Not infrequent-
ly he makes the symbol even more en-
phatic by firing into her headdress and
setting her aflame. This done, little re-
mains except for the youth to lift the
lady In his arms and ca y her bodily
into his housa All the Year ROund
