SOCIETIES.
OIneyvilIe Organizations Of
All Sorts.
4 Few Words About Some of the
Most Important.
What They Are Doing and What They
Propose to Do.

The life of Olneyvillo is in tho various
social organizations, which take in
some way or other every one in the town.
There is seldom place OF the size TO be
found where there are more of them or
where they exist in more fiourishing con-
dition. The subject has been thoroughly
covered many times i'm all its details, so
that any extended article on them would
be out OF place. They are changing con-
tinually, however, and, furthermore, they
are even more active than usual this
winter. You can find them of ell sorts
and sizes through Olneyvilie and John
0ton, and an attempt to classify
them would be fruitless for there are no
two exactly alike. Social. literary, po-
htical, beneficial. their objects, aims,
sno accomplishments are so hard
&c determine accurately that TO
draw any line at all between the classes Is
irnpossible. Just run over a few of them
and you will see at n glance how this is.
There ts no Masonic lodge in Olncyville
or Johnston. quite a large number OF
Nasons are 10 be found out here, but there
ls no chapter OF the organization located
Ia this section. There Is talk OF starting
one before long, and Ii Is likely
that before another winter flourishing
Masonic chapter will be in existence in
JohDston. Several prominent men
OF the town are interested in tho
tcheme, among them one or two
Masons, and though the affair is
only being considered quietly at present,
and just now is hardly even In the embryo,
u looks a. though II would assume definite
shape before long. There IL no doubt that
sucn society would take well. There

past four this morning aroused the men,
bers of the Rough and Ready Fire Com
pany from their slumbers, and they
FASTENED with hose cart and chemical
to the scene OF the blaze. II was in
building on Plainfield street, owned by
the town sergeant and occupied as a
paint shop By Christopher Douglass.
Douglass arose early this morn
ing, as IL his custom, and
lighting up an oil stove, proceeded to pre-
pare sone sausages for his morning re-
past. While these were sizzling merrily
away he stepped out for moment TO see
o.; man who was passing and have
his eyes opened by the fresh morning air.
This was shortly after o'clock. While
he was away there was an explosion.
Whether IL was caused by one of the
sausages or by the stove itself is
a question. AT any rate, one OF them
caused the explosion, the explosion
caused the blaze, ths blaze caused the
alarm, the alarm caused the appearance
OF the Rough and Readys, and
the Rough ana Readys accomplished the
extinction OF the fire, the only damage
being the consuming of the sausages, the
stove, and the box on which it rested.

A Curiosity of Tnste.

What do you think Of the idea of
sweetening your sugar with a little salt
or quinine? Don't laugh at the PROPOSE
ton, for there is more of a point to it
than can be seen ON the surface of the
mere assertion. Professor Zunte, a Ger
man chemist and an expert before some
big Berlin physiological society, acct
dentally discovered the fact that sugars
sweetening properties We're actually
strengthened by the addition of a mi
mute quantity of salt. From his expert
ments he finds that If to a solution Of
sugar there be added a slight amount of
salt and water, so weak that it excites
no saline taste, the result proves that
the strength Of the sugar is much aug
mented thereby. He also SAYS that the
very weakest possible solution OF qui-
nine and water produces a similar eff
feet. The explanation which the learned
professor gives of the above seeming in.
congruity is this-that, be the sadness
or bitterness ever so feeble, providing it
IS sufficient to excite the follicles Of the
tongue at all, it imparts an increased
sensibility to the organ of taste. For
fear that the above viii be hardly intel
liglble, will close by giving 9 quotation
from Professor Zunte: 1.-THE sensation
OF taste is wonderfully excited BY the
simultaneous stimuli of the epyrean fol-
iicles and the consequent enlargement
OF their pcletia st Louis Republic.

A Practical yVooer.

a young lady, who was the recipient
of attention from two young rnon equal
ly eligible in point Of good looks, social
position and financial solidity, and en-
tertained similar feelings for both, was
in q quandary as to which to choose
should they propose. a friend to whom
she confided her difficulty suggested
that she should put both TO some test to
prove the strength Of their affection.
She took the advice, and to tho first who
avowed his affection said:
You tell me that you love RE. How
do l know that you arc sincere? What
would you do to show your love?''
Anything, replied the ardent low
or, who had q spice Of romano in his
disposition. "Anything-I would 60 to
the worlds end for you. l would die
for you, if necessary"
Such ardent protestations brought the
blushes to her checks and a thrill of
happiness to her, and she thought that
certainly no one could love her more
fondly than he did. She asked him,
however, for a little delay before giving
N answer to his suit.
Meanwhile the other proposed, and
she questioned him il like manner.
"Well," said he, 'I'll tell you what
| would do to show you my love. If you
marry me, you shall have good clothes
to wear. 1 will see that you are always
the owner of a handsome sealskin jack
ct, and that your hats or bonnets are al
ways in fashion, and | VIII be a faith
full and loving husband to you"
"But wouldn't you go to the worlds
end fer me CT any of that sort of thing,
you know" she asked as she toyed
with his coat buttons.
II don't want to go to the worlds
end" he replied. I've got a nice pay
ing business here, and, as for dying for
you, I'd rather live with you"
well" said she as visions of the
sealskin jacket and fashionable bonnets
flashed before her mind. Il think you
can speak to pa"

Invention of tho Fan.

The poets of the Celestial empire at
tribute the invention CT the fan to one
of their emperors-Wu Wang-who
reigned IL centuries before the Chris
tian era. The first fans were made of
bamboo only, bat in time feathers and
silk were used with good effect. and old
writers pompously describe the imperial
chariots decorated with these emblems
of power on all state occasions. 1t was
only at the beginning of our era, how
ever, that a Chinese fanmaker beat
plates of gold until they were as thin
as locust wings" and applied them ON
both surfaces of screen fans, which he
further decorated with paintings of
birds, beasts and fabulous monsters,
wherein he set glittering bits of mica.
The folded fan, long unknown in China,
is said to have been imported from
Japan in the tenth century, when it be-
gan to replace screen fans.-New York
Post.

from L. ]. Glave, Stanley's young lieu
