from the traditional hens eggs to dimensions
beyond credence. The wires say that the

As soon as Congress has disposed Of the
tariff bill attention will doubtless be given
to large number Of legislative propositions
OF greater or less importance now buried
beneath a great mass of cumbrous sched-
uleS and other tariff necessaries. One of the
buried propositions which Is eminently de-
serving of congressional disinterment is that
made by Senator Walsh OF Georgia as to
the establishment OF permanent national
exposition somewhere within the boundaries
OF the national capital. The idea Is wholly
good and the bill in which it is crystalized
deserves universal support Senator Walsh
makes a very reasonable request when, in
the measure which he introduced on Satur-
day. he asked for the appointment Of a
commission, consisting of the Postmaster
General, the Secretary OF the Interior and
the Secretary OF Agriculture. to report to
Congress plan for the establishment and
maintenance of such an exposition, and for
an appropriation OF $500 to defray the
expenses OF the commission. That the varf-
Gus states. through their industries, would
be very much benefited by such an exposi-
ton is certain, and 1t Is therefore reasonable
TO imagine that Senators and Representa-
tives interested IN the national welfare will
when opportunity arrives. declare them
selves favorable to the project

The coal strikers. or that part Of them
responsible for the unwarrantable inter-
ference with railroad trains. seem bent on
driving the entire public to enlist against
them. The stopping OF coal trains Is an
outrage that can be justified on no ground
whatever. The law has nothing to say
when men exercise their right to quit work
when they please; 1t becomes indignant
when they attempt to keep others from
working who want to do SO; it will take q
hand to protect itself when they attempt to
cut off the coal supply Of cities by stopping
railroad trains.

The Difference In Two Words.

Did it ever occur to you to think of
the difference in Specification of the two
words seems and "appears?" We say
''it seems to be true" or lit appears TO
be true" Are those expressions iden-
teal? Or if there be difference, what
is it?
There is a difference, and it consists
chiefly in the strength of the expression.
If we read story and say, That story
seems to be true" we mean that it has
the semblance of truth and we infer that
it is true. If we say, THAT story APP
pears to be true" we mean that the state
ments made in it or the incidents re-
lated go to show its truth.
In other words, appears" refers to the
actual presentation of something to our
view; "seems" refers to an inference of
our mind as to the probability of things
being true.-Philadelphia Times

"Why, look at that old woman! l dc
believe she's going to pick up the cigar
that man has just thrown away"
The two fresh faced girls paused in
their walk across the common in order
to watch the woman. She was a shriy-
eled hag, much bent and shuffling in
gait. A dirty apron, gathered in one
hand, bulged out with refuse spoils OF
some sort, and her bonnet itself looked
as if it had seen the inside of an ash
barrel
CHANGING furtively from side to side
this precious specimen of humanity
stopped quickly and picked up the cigar
stump. Then she shuffled off.
The girls stood watching her with sur
prised interest, and they had about made
up their minds that none of their friends
should smoke any more cigarettes, when
they saw puff of smoke curl up from
the woman's head. Another and another
little cloud of smoke arose. and then q
turn in the walk showed that she had re-
lighted the butt and was enjoying ii
with entire unconcern as to who might
see her.
She did not hear the exclamation OF
disgust that escaped from the sweet, red
lips of the girls, who wondered what he1
start in life had been.-Boston Herald,

Here Is a Farm with a History.

Colonel Merit NJ. Missimer of the Falls
of French Creek hotel has bought of
Henry W. Watson of Bucks county the
Urner farm in Warwick township, Ches-
ter county, 122 acres, for $1,000. On this
farm the old Seventh Day Baptist burial
ground is located, an acre or more, the
walls of which Enclosure the colonel will
repair. In this place of rest there were
interments dating back to 1869, and the
whole number buried is probably over
100. There was once franc meeting
house in which the Seventh Day people
worshiped, but it was torn down or re-
moved long ago-none there for probably
70 years or more.
Over two years ago the French Creek
Valley Railroad company, or some of its
promoters, bought this Urner farm of
Eli Urner, administrator, for $53 per
acre 1t was intended to erect large
hotel on the premises. Subsequently it
changed hands and became the property
of Mr.. Watson. Colonel SIissimer will
sell portion of his purchase in building
lots, having 1000 already laid out

George Francis Cobson, q spiritualist
of Muskegon. Mich, has perfected a
scheme, he thinks, by which he hopes at
death to be able to prove positively to
those still in the material state that his
spirit exists. He went to Pittsburg a
short time ago and obtained a large glass
cylinder, so constructed that it can be
sealed alright quickly In this cylinder
he has suspended with fine copper wire
two pieces of metal so light that they
may be brought in contact with each
other by the slightest motion of air with
in the cylinder. Wires pass through tn,
cylinder, one being connected with ii
battery and the other with Geographic
instrument.
He has made arrangements for his
friends just before the spirit leaves his
body to seal him in the cylinder so that
his spirit may be kept from departing
and at the same time is enabled by a Sc
ries of systematic disturbances of the air
within the cylinder to communicate with
his friends through the Geographic in
strument. He is dying with consump-
ton, and the public probably will not
have long to wait for the test of his ex-
pertinent. If it should prove successful,
his friends are pledged after three days
to unseal the cylinder and allow the
spirit to depart and then seal up and bury
the remains. -Pittsburg Dispatch.
