Do These Things.

Encourage your pastor this year as never
before. Be at the weekly prayer meeting
regularly, and take part in exercises ac-
coIding to your place and ability. Work

The Question of the Hour.

Every person is interested now in
making the dollars go far. Take care of
the pence and the pounds will take care
of themselves" is maxim that is peculi-
arly applicable to these hard times.
Wastefulness at all times is foolish; it is
worse than that now when thousands are
suffering for lack of the necessaries of
life.
The Pittsburg Times is an object les
son in proper economy. 1t presents one
of the chief necessities of life-all the
news-at the lowest possible cost. Not
withstanding the fact that The Pitts
burg Times is sold for only one cent a
day, the claim is made for it that it is
the most complete newspaper printed in
Pittsburg; that every occurrence of hu-
man interest in every part of the globe is
promptly reported in its columns; that
it essentially paper for the home, every
thing of an Objectionable character being
excluded; that it is the only paper in
Pittsburg whose market reports are reli-
dUiC duu lCNlSCu ONCly udy III UuC WcCh,
that it is the only Pittsburg newspaper
which prints daily carefully prepared
department for the ladies, and once a
week a report, prepared by experts, of
special interest to agricultural readers;
and, finally, it is the only Pittsburg news
paper which prints daily the highest class
of fiction.
In addition to all this, The Times Of
ters to all its readers at a nominal cost
the opportunity of securing one of the
highest class magazines printed in the
country, and to the their choice during
the year 1894, of twelve of the most ap-
proved paper patterns, with privilege
of selecting from list of $4,000. Send
for a sample copy of The Times, which
will be mailed you free, and see how
these promises are fulfilled. If there is
no agent for The Times in your locality
a profitable business can be established
by writing for the agency.

Rightly Duped.

A farmer living near Steubenvile
mourns the loss of $500, as a result of
his greenness and dishonesty. He re-
ceived circular from a green goods"
man in New York who had genuine ten
dollar notes printed from stolen treasury
plates, which he offered at greatly re-
duced rates. He answered the letter
and it was agreed to let him have $1,000
in the alleged genuine money for $780,
Taking the money out of bank he
started for New York. He met the
green goods men as agreed and the
1000 was counted out before him. 1t
was then wrapped up in a newspaper,
placed in a small satchel and handed to
the dupe who started for home. On
arriving there he for the first time learn
ed that he had been duped, and the
satchel had been changed, and instead
of national bank notes he had two five
dollar bills and a lot of green paper cut
the size of bank notes.

Instinct and Knowledge In Animals.

A cat carried 100 miles in basket, a
dog taken perhaps 500 miles by rail, in
few days may have found their way back
to the starting point. So we have often
been told, and no doubt the thing has
happened. We have been astonished at
the wonderful intelligence displayed.
Magic, l should call it. Last week !
heard of a captain who sailed from Alb
erdeen to Arbroath. He left behind him
a dog which, according to the story, had
never been in Arbroath, but when he ar
rived there the dog was waiting on the
quay. | was expected to believe that
the dog had known his masters destina-
ton and been able to inquire the way
overland to Arbroath. Truly marvelousl
But really it is time to inquire more care
fully as to what these stories do mean
We must cease to ascribe our intelligence
to animals and learn that it is we that
often possess their instinct.
A cat on a farm will wander many
miles in search of prey and will there
fore be well acquainted with the coun-
try for miles around. It is taken 30
miles away. Again it wanders and comes
across bit of country it knew before.
What more natural than that it should
go to its old home? Carrier pigeons are
taught "homing" by taking them gradu-
ally longer flights from home, SO that
they may learn the look Of the country.
We cannot always discover that dog
actually was acquainted with the route
by which it wanders home, but it is quite
absurd to imagine, as most people at
once do, that it was perfect stranger to
the lay of the land.-A. J. Macintosh
in London Spectator.

Horrible Murder.

Monday evening Henry Saner and
wife, of near Marietta, were murdered,
and their only son, whose body was found

quarrel with his mother, it is supposed
murdered them, and finding escape i'm
possible fired the barn and perished in
the flames.

The Baby Caught IT.

A peculiar case of accidental vaccina-
tiOn has been reported to the State Board

older sister who had very sore arms from
vaccination, and in this way the little
one had been inoculated with vaccine

If the Democrats are going to intiict
an income tax on the country from which
they expect to derive revenue, it seems
strange they should couple it with a
measure the effect of which will be to
stife the sources of income. The Demo
Gratis would seem to have spite at pros
perity for not only are they going to make
it as difficult as possible to have an in
come at all, but in addition to that, if any
man is 80 fortunate as to still be able to
derive an income of more than $4,000
they are going to make him pay fine of
two per cent. because he has been in
dustrious.

Who is the author of the Wilson Bill
and what is he doing? M. E. ingalls,, a
good Democrat, announced these ques-
tions at the Jackson banquet, Demo
cratic gathering, at Columbus Monday
night. He said: "The gentleman who
fathers the measure, whose name is given
to it, is distinguished member of Con-
gress, coming from a little village up in
the mountains of the State of West
Virginia. He has had large experience
as college professor and as country
lawyer and as member of Congress.
He is student of the doctrine of free
trade and well educated as a theorist.
By some chance he is made Chairman of
the Committee of Ways and Means, and
is put astride Of the commerce of this
country and proposes to demonstrate his
theories, although in so doing he may
wreck the country and his party"

In the larger cities the relief work has
taken the form of furnishing work and
not aims for the unemployed. If the
able bodied do not choose to work they
get nothing. This is the only proper
way to afford relief, and at the same
time is scarcely charity to the
persons accepting relief, as they render
a hundred cents worth of labor for every
dollar received. The cities are at the
same time benefited since the work in
most cases is along the line of improving
or beautifying the city.

PENCIL POINTERS.

1IcSlueul NJ. T. 1Lgdlls,Ol lIic Dig L OlT
Railroad, is distinguished Democrat,
and he has the courage to speak his SEN
timents right out in meeting. At the
Jackson Club banquet, Monday night, at
Columbus, at which host of greater or
lesser Democrats were gathered Mr.. In
gals took occasion to tell what he thinks
of this administration, which he shame
fully acknowledged he helped to call
into power, and also the Wilson bill. He
characterized the record of the Demo
cratic party since coming into power as
such as to cover Democrats with shame,
and the Wilson bill as theoretical pro-
duction of West Virginia mountaineer,
a measure that could not fail to bring
ruin on the great business interests of
The country. The caustic points of his
remarks are shown in the following con-
concluding sentences: In behalf of the
great body of business men of the cOun-
try protest against experiments at this
time. In behalf of the Democratic rank
and file / protest against measure
which, if passed, will turn the country
over to the Republicans. l wish | could
reach every Democrat in the land to
arouse them to action so that they would
make their objections felt with their
Congressman. 1t is a time of peril to the
party. l would sound the alarm, To
your tents, o Israel Unless we can
bring about a change in the administra-
ton, unless we can stop that so called
Wilson bill in Congress, we shall go
down as party to helpless defeat on the
next election, and it will be years before
the people will trust us again. We want
Congress to stop experimenting for the
benefit of few theorists and scholars.
1t seems like poor sort OF economy
the Commissioners are practising in per-
sisting in maintaining the gasoline light
ing plant at the Court house. Not only
is the light very expensive even when
running properly, but to keep the tank
from leaking has been proven by exper-
ience to be well nigh impossible. Did
the leakage result only in loss to the
county it would be bad enough, but
when the gasoline taints the water in
adjacent wells and renders it unfit for
use the plant becomes nuisance. The
Commissioners have certainly had sutti-
cent notice of the damage the gasoline
leakage is doing to surrounding property
to make them liable, personally, and if
the nuisance is continued if not improb-
able that they may be made defendants
in damage suits. Under the conditions
of the injunction issued last spring the
plant was to be operated only so long as
it could be operated without leakage, but
the recent repairs, which were needful,
have demonstrated that it can not long
be operated without leaking, If at all,
aud the restraining order on its operation
should be made perpetual. In addition,
the plant is a source of real danger to
the county buildings and surrounding
property, and it is not beyond the range
of possibility that an explosion might
result which would land portion ef the
town in the next township, if the plant
is operated as it has been. The whole
thing should be abandoned in the interest
of life and property, and economy, too.
