The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1894-12-14

Years OF revolution and bloody war
were sometimes required to secure the
coveted freedom, and the march to
liberty has been over thousands of
bloody corpses of men, women and even
of children, but by perseverance the
cause was always won. Greece, Ser
via, Roumania, Bulgaria, Roumelia,
Georgia, Circassia the story OF each is
the samoa bloody rebellion, Il long
war, assistance from foreign powers,
and then freedom. The unhappy land
of Armenia is now going through the
preliminary stages of the process Of

A Little Bell Fastened to the Bottles
StODDer.


A novel and simple device for the
prevention Of accidental poisoning Is
shown herewith, and it appears TO very
effectively answer the purpose for
which it is intended.
1t consists, as will be seen by the ac-
companying illustration, of Il bell so
fastened to II capped cork that it is
claimed, the bottle cannot be taken up.
much less the cork removed, without
producing a tinkle, just loud enough to
warn the nurse, but not loud enough to
disturb the patient Obviously such q

as in the daylight A cord is attached
to the bell with which it is tied to the
neck of the bottle

lost yearly through accidental poison.

The Olive Tree.

The olive tree is supposed to have
been originally native of Greece, but
1t is now naturalized i'm the south Of
France, Italy, and Spain, where it has
been extensively cultivated from time
immemorial for the oil expressed from
the fruit. The tree attalns an almost
incredible age. Near Ferni, in the Vale
OF Marmora, is plantation about two
miles in extent of very old trees, sup
posed to be the same trees mentioned
by Pliny as growing there In the first
century OF the Christian ays

Ia Amounts Of Twenty-Five or Under They

There is one story SO utterly ridiculous
that it seems incredible that it should ever
have been printed which in one form or
another makes the rounds of various news.
papers of the country annually Look for
it, and you will sooner or later see it crop
up again.
This tale is always based upon the I'M
popularity Of the cent pieces in the ex-
treme west and southwest. IN its most
common form it tells of some eastern tray
eler who attempts to dispose of hundred
or SO cent pieces in San Francisco, Ell
Paso or some other place. The tradesman
is always represented as looking at them
curiously and declining them.
The writer's of these senseless tales may
have been in the west or they may not.
1t matters little. Their story is pointless
They seek to brand the mythical trades
man as of the same category with them
selves.
The cent is legal tender in amounts of
25 and less If an eastern man in San
Francisco or aIy where else owes a debt of
25 cents and tenders 25 cent pieces in
settlement, the courts will sustain him.
OF course the coins are not popular in
the extreme west and south, but no one
need carry a hundred of them in cigar
box or anywhere else as useless metal. If
you are in city that has not a United
States subtreasury, go to the postofice,
dump in 25 cents and see if you will have
any difficulty in obtaining stamps or pos
tai cards of like amount. If one is refused,
letter of complaint to the postal authori-
ties will soon work the removal of an en-
ployee who would discredit United States
money.
1t is well to bear this matter of the legal
tender of cent in mind. No one for
spite can make a person take more than 90
of them in any single transaction involv-
ing the settlement of a debt. One need
have no fear then of receiving 500 in cents
from some imbittered debtor New York

The pretended anxiety of the Demo-
Gratis for some body to attack the income
tax has been relieved and it does not
appear that the Democrats are happy
even now. The gentleman who came to
their relief was Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, who in a speech at Cambridge,
vigorously attacked the measure, and
showed that instead OF being tax ex-
clusiyely on rich men, as the Demo-
Gratis have been claiming, large part
of it will come out of the pockets of
small investors through the assessment
of the tax upon incomes of corpor ations.
