NEWS IN BRIEF.

The effect of Cleveland times.
Chumps-The doctors are noticing that
most of the babies born nowadays are
longer in the face than the babies of for
mer days. Dumps-Thats owing to cur
living in Cleveland times. Everybody
has a long face nowadays.
The Democrats are taking comfort
in a conservative estimate of the Con-
gressiOnal elections which gives them a
majority of six in the next House. But
as this estimate gives them three Con-
gressmen in Massachusetts and two in
Connecticut, and is equally out of the
way in other States, Democratic hopes
seem to be based on sand.
1t is probable that those rural citi-
zens of New York who tarred and feath-
cred a couple of Mormon elders last Fri
day for making converts in their neigh
borhood, had not learned from President
Cleveland's proclamation that the Nor
mons have abandoned polygamy.
1t looks as if it would be necessary
for the Rhode Island Democrats to en-
force draft or start lottery with two
fatal black prizes in order to procure can
didates for Congress. Yet it was only
year ago that bumptious tariff reform
ers" were very certain that Rhode Island
had become permanently welded to
the Democracy.
-"Results Speak," is the headline
which one of our tariff reform contempor-
aries places over its account of a Demo
cratic meeting. We should say they did
such a result as the loss of Sll 100000
by Massachusetts wage earners in a sin
gle year because of Democratic tariff
smashing speaks quite loudly.
Coy. Mckinley frankly confesses that
there were mistakes in the tariff law of
1890, but he truthfully adds that most of
them were on the side of America, at
any rate. That is more shan can be said
for the measure by which the Mckinley
act has been supplanted.
The incident of Mr., MOrtons coach
man has exhibited Secretary Carlisle be-
fore the country as about the most con-
temptible specimen of Cabinet officer
who has been seen in this generation.
We observe that even Democratic papers
do not mince words in characterizing his
conduct.
The practice OF insuring the lives of
men who are at the heads of concerns
which are in debt, is evidently on the in
crease. There is one concern in Bur-
lington whose managers life is insured
for $25, 900 and the premiums are paid
out of the business while the policy is
made payable to the man who furnished
the money to carry on the business.

What Superstition Led Many People to Do
In Former Times.


The superstitious people Of medieval
times had some very odd remedies based
upon superstition. Among other absurdi-
ties of ignorance it was held that chip
from the gallows on which several persons
had been hanged worn in bag around
the neck, was euro for ugue. A halter
by which some criminal had been hanged
was bound around the temples as an infal-
lible cure for headache. Tumors of tho
glands are said to be driven away" by
nine blows Of dead mans hand, whilo
the hand of a man who had been cut down
from the gallows was said to work similar
wonders.
A ring made from a coffin was applied
for the relief of cramps, which were also
said to be dispelled by q rusty sword hang
ing over the patients head If any one
had the toothache, he was told to go and
drive nails into an oak tree, which, 1t is
true, would not kill tho pain, but was
sure preventive against future attack.
A stone with hole in 1t, hung at the head
of bed, was sure to cure nightmare, tho
cause Of that evil being thought to be
witches, who sat on the PATIENTS chest;
hence the pendant and stone was called q
"hagstone." The 'hagstone" was used
generally as safeguard against all the ills
which are ascribed to impish interference.
1t is astonishing to find many such old
practices-the relics Of superstition and
ignorance-still kept up by people who
ought to know better. 1t is for instance,
a custom to this day for people of a certain
class to steal meat from tho butcher, rub
it on warts and then bury it, the warts
being expected to vanish as the process Of
decomposition sets in. PricBing n wart
with pin till che blood came and then
throwing the pin away was also said to
drive warts away, the warts being prompt
ly transferred to the hands of whoever
picked up the pin. A potato carried in
the pocket is still recommended for rheu-
matism, and hundreds of like practices arc
in vogue at the present day.-St Louis

A Dozen ,JuIiets.

John Goodnow of Minneapolis tells of a
performance of Romeo and Juliet" that
he once witnessed in Salt Lake City. He
says:
"a company playing Shakespeare had
somehow struggled down to Salt Lake
this was long ago-and had at great eX-
pense opened up with Romeo and Juliet"
The company could not but feel all through
the play that something ominous was in
the air, that they somehow failed to con-
meet with the sympathies of the large audi
ence. But the wherefore was unknown un-
til the next morning, when a solemn depu-
tation of Mormon elders filed into the man
ager's office and announced that the play
could not be repeated and that the compa-
ny must leave town. Astounded, the man
ager asked the reason for such an extraor-
binary demand and was answered that the
play was immoral.
He went on eXpostulating, feeling all
the time in the stony silence Of the elders
that it was useless. At last they explained
that the play was demoralizing because it
made such an inexplicable fuss over one
young female. The manager despaired,
till suddenly he asked if more than one Ju
let would help things any.
1.-THE upshot of it was" Goodnow grave
ly explained, that on the night / attended
this had happened in the morning-there
were 10 Julets. Well, the whole perform
ance was heartrending, but the balcony
scenel Imagine IL Juliets and the lovelorn
Romeo struggling to remain absolutely
plural.
81 would were a glove upon those
hands, that might kiss those cheeks" par
APPRAISED Goodnow. Upon my soul, tho
thing is true. You should have seen him
kissing first one and then another impair

WOODEN VILLAS.
Their Advantages and Disadvantages
for England.

There seems TO be no really substantial OBJ
lection 10 building English houses of wood ex-
cept the moisture of the climate. which renders
II peculiarly dltiienlt TO preserve this material
when ii is exposed 10 the Influences Of The
weather. Thick coatings of varnish and paint,
however will keep the damp from eating into
the wood, while pitch or tar is the best pre-
servative of all. Houses built of really good
timber pine or oak. will last for centuries II
properly taken care OF, and. even when more or
less neglected. or course, we can hardly ex-
peel Norway TO produce a structure so durable
as the wonderful Viking ship at the University
OF Chrlstlania. which has been preserved abso-
lutely free from decay for ever a thousand
years. This was buried for centuries in the
blue clay: but even when exposed to the air
and all the tempests of the winter and the fierce
heat of summer. Norwegian wood has shown
marvellous durability. The old ''stave kirker''
already referred to are sid 10 be from four 10
eight hundred years of age, and are as sound
to-day as when first built. II churches
houses? ANY builder who makes bust
ness to put up Swiss or Norwegian chalets
in England would doubtless guarantee
the structures to last almost as long as brick
walls. However, there Is as we have pointed
out, that terrible risk OF fire, from which Nor
way has suffered more than any other country
In Europe. This Is serious drawback from
an owners point of view, because when a per.
son buys house he does not look forward TO
the necessity OF building it all over again at
some remote period. or course it does not
matter TO a tenant how long HE house is going
TO last, but IL matters great deal to free-
holder, or even TO a Householder, for the extra
long terms not unknown TO our conyeyancers;
The best places where wooden villas could
be tried in England would be where
they can be conveniently erected, either
wholly or semi-detached. Their cost is COM
para,ivey small and would be smaller II living
in chaleis became fashionable. American
magazines and papers simply TEEN with most
seductive pictures of timber houses, built in all
sizes and TO suit all purses. The ingenuity of
British architects could certainly devise struc-
lures which would be joys forever II given
free hand With wood; and the cost Of freight
from the great forests of Scandinavia to our
shores is now comparatively small. Ali that
is wanted is few English people to experiment
In this dire elton, or for those VINO already have
benefit of their experience.-London Telegraph.

New Market for Peanuts.

Our Consul at Marseiles presents some inter-
estipg facts In his report on the manufacture OF
oil, soap and other articles from peanuts.
France imported last year about 1000, 900
pounds OF peanuts from Spain. India, Argentina
and South Africa. They sold in the Marseiles
market for from 50 90 TO Sc 81 per qulntal OF
2261s pounds. Our Consul says:
THE best nuts yield about 80 per cent OF oil
IN weight al the first crushing and from IL to
Is per cent at the second. The Gil Is worth In
MarseIlles from nearly 50 to over SIS per quin-
tal This oil Is largely devoted TO the manu-
facture of while soap. IL Is also used as food,
principally however. on salads and as one OF
the constituents OF margarine. A third use OF
the oil Is for illumination purposes. 1t Is re.
ported To be a very good illuminating fluid.
The crushed meal Is used as food for stock
and also for ferliliZing. The shells alone have
no market value"
We can produce an almost unlimited guam.
tity Of peanuts in the Sou,h, and II the French
can import them and use them prGfitably In
various manufacturing lines we can do still
better. he matter is worthy of thorough in
vestigaIion.-Atlanta Constitution.
