THE PRESIDENTS NEW WORD.
He Got 1t From Professor Proctor, story
About MI Old Kentucky Negro

About an Old Kentucky Negro.
President Cleveland has % new word.
When any one comes to see him on a
matter of business now, he says, "Wcll,
now, let's 'spute about it." He got the
word from story Professor Proctor,
tho civil service commissioner, told him
of an old negro down i'll Kentucky who
was very powerful i'll theological con-
troversy and was looked up to by the
colored people of that section as the
ablcsu exponent of tho Scriptures, white
or black, they had ever seen. Tho old
gentleman had worsted all debatcrs,
and, like Alexander, sighed for new
worlds to conquer. Professor Proctor,
with y party of friends, happened to
visit the plantation upon which he lived,
and while they We're sitting OH the pi-
azza one morning the great controvcr-
sialist appeared with pair of horn
framed spectacles OH his nose and big
Bible under his arm. Shifting up to
the steps, he took off his hat, made u
low bow, and in most dignified and
respectful manner said:
Good mawning, good mawning /
done come up to see if any of you all
white gennermens nd like to 'spute cr-
bout der holy Scriptures dis mawning. :"
The president was very much amused
by the story and has chung to tho word
which he now uses freely at cabinet
meetings and in social rs we'll rs official
ersations.-Chicago Record

A BONUS FOR SETTLERS.
How Citizens of a Canadian Town PRO.
pose to Increase Population.

pose to Increase Population.
Tho citizens of ST. Laurent, suburb
of Montreal, held a meeting recently to
doviso means to promote the interests
Of the town. Mayor Gotner presided
and mado suggestions as follows:
Tho best means to promote the inter-
est of "a municipality was the establish
nent of manufactures, and he trusted
that the council would at once closely
study this important plan. Tho very
moment that mills wero established in
their midst the population would not
only increase i'll number, but the farm
ors would find a better market for the
sale of their goods, and hundreds of
heads Of families would derive an an
nual income which would enable them
to live comfortably. In order to bring
life into the town of ST. Laurent he
would suggest tho two following points,
which, he thought, would suit all con-
cerncd-tirst, the council should meet
at once and thoroughly consider tho sit
uation; second, asuf1icient sum Of mon-
by the town to induce manufacturers
to start operations ut once i'll their
midst; third, the town might effect u
loan of about $50, 600, redeemable III 10
years. Money today could be easily Sc
cured at 4 =. net. In this manner if St.
Laurent could effect that loan it could
offer bonus to intending settlers and
assist the town i'll such Way as to
make it profitable to all concerned
AT the mayors request Il vote was
taken, and the following resolution was
carried:
Resolved, That tho council be en-
powered to carefully study the question
and if deemed advisable to effect loan
or adopt any other legal means which
may promote tho interest of st. Laurent
and bring work to our population.

The appearance Of rust Oh the tuning
pins and the steel wires Of piano is q
sure indication that the piano has been
exposed to moisture or dampness- The
time Of year or the age or quality Of the
piano has nothing to do with it, as rust
may appear in a night The fact that
the room is heated by a stove just out
side Of it will probably account for the
rust, as the chances are that after the
usual cooling Of fire overnight its
heating in the morning would be likely
to cause condensation on the metal, and
rust would Immediately appear. Do not
use oil or any greasy substance to re-
move it. 1t will probably not do any
harm unless it causes the strings to
break, in which case they will have to
be replaced. Most pianos require tuning

to be given a piano is to keep it in an

authors he wrote about, and he was able
to convey some of this enjoyment to his
own readers and to explain to them the
reasons for his liking. His favorite Of
all was the mighty Florentine poet,
Dante, whom Lowell steadily studied
from early life. Indeed the advice no

to find the great writer whom they moss
appreciated and to give themselves to
the constant perusal Of this great writer,

Pitcher relates the following story Of

A CURIOUS CALCULATION.
Around the World 2oe Times.

An eminent physician has made a curious
mathematical calculation in giving the
workings of the human heart in mileage.
He shows that in lifetime of "a years
the blood as it passes through the heart is
thrown distance of 8, 15O, $3.50 miles, which,
in continuous stream, would reach around
the world 206 times
Keeping in view this constant strain on
the heart, and taking into consideration the
abuse it receives from over-exertion, alco-
holic and other stimulants, is it any wonder
that it finally becomes affected, refuses to
perform its work, and causes death? The
fact can be readily understood that one in
four has weak heart, also the Importance OF
treating that organ as soon as its affected con-
dition is in the slightest degree manifested.
Reader, if you have any reason whatever
for believing your heart to be affected, you
should attend to it at once. Do not hest

disorder have never suspected its presence.

A Trip Across The Country.

York, Nebr. May 27, 1895.
Mn. EprToR:-We left Phillipsburg
Wednesday morning, May %, arrived
here Friday evening, May "a, all safe,
even the cat ard kittens, especially
the baby kits as they spent the time
in sleep most Of the way. We made
good time each day, coming by the
way Of Republican City and stopping
at Rlverton, Nebr. the first night and
Hastings, Nebr. the second night
All day Thursday everything lndi-
Gated rain, and when nine miles from
here it came and we stopped until the
shower was over. They have had
less ram here than you have there.
Grass is not as good here, trees do
not look as green or as we'll leafed
out and corn not as forward. The
cold wave seemed to strike harder
here than there. Until we got to
CRYSTAL Creek, seven miles south OF
Republican City, corn and feed look
ed splendid, but at Crystal Creek
farmer lost all Of his fruit, garden
and large grove Of Walnut trees by
freezing. His corn was all he had
left and that was not far enough
along to be hurt. For about ten
miles it looked dry and bad, then we
came to some beautiful farms on the
river bottom south of the Republican
river. Beautiful farm houses many
built in modern style and nearly all
looked like new buildings. After we
left Riverton the country did Iot look
as week, as they were suffering from
continued drouth, until we neared
Roseland when everything looked
more prosperous. From Roseland to
Hastings one could not wish to go
through more beautiful country
Some farms almost as level as a floor
beautiful groves Of trees, good build
ings, mostly new. We also saw some
lovely fields of grain. One thing l
must mention. We saw one man
sowing grain in the old way by carry
ing the bag over his shoulder and
scattering the grain with his hand.
l said to father There is one man
who does not believe in the new ways
of farming but takes the good old
way" THIS side of Hastings while
the country is just as good the build
ings did not look as well until we got
to Aurora. 1t seem that hail visits a
portion Of this country nearly every
year and the trees show it plainly.
About three weeks ago a hail storm
went through this tract of country
doing considerable damage. But
taking all things together we found
but very few places where one need
to really feel discouraged. Corn and
feed looked we'll nearly all the way
and grain a large part of the way.
