Don't pay any more for the Christ

This is Tor everybody.
Don't expect too much il the way Of
Christmas gifts. You may have TO put
year foot in your stockings before you
find anything in it. This is Tor those
Of sanguine temperament.
Don't buy presents until after you
pay your debts. Give your creditors a
chance to celebrate a merry Christmas
before you perform that duty for any
one else. This is for who msoever the
coat fits.
Don't give your boy a drum and then
tell him he mustn't make a noise with
lit. Don't give your daughter horse
and forbid her to take it out of the
stable without asking you. This is for
parents who have enough money to af-
ford drums and horses for Christmas
gifts.
Don't be everiastingly harping on
what you wish to have for a Christmas
gift. Possibly all your friends will
take the hint and then you'll have a
surplus and have to start a store to re
duce it. This is for a large and highly
amusing class.
Don't think that the spirit Of good
will, the impulses of generosity and the
jolly laugh of good fellowship are
things that are less necessary to your
being truly happy all the year round
than they are on Christmas day. By
bearing this in mind you may be able
to enjoy 1896 as you have enjoyed no
other year. Like the first "don't" this
is for everybody.

r. J. Jones Has Been Appointed Receiver
of the Defunct Bank.

Assistant Attorney General Goddard
was in the city Monday on business
connected with the defunct Exchange
bank, to which Treasurer-elect Jones
has been appointed receiver.
The banks affairs, it is reported, are
as bad, or worse, than when first sus-
pended, as more deposits were received.
The collections have been slow and the
proceeds gradually eaten up by run
ming expenses.
As soon as Mr.. Jones files his bond
the assets of the bank will be turned
over to him and the affairs straighten-
ed up as rapidly as possible. Even with
the best of success with outstanding
paper there will be large deficiency.

SENATOR PLATES ORATTON.

We print this morning in full the ora- ton made by Senator Platt at Fort Wooster park yesterday. It is we'll worth careful reading by all interested
 in the event which brought it forth and in the condition of this great, glorious and still comparatively free country. Senator Platt is 8 keen observer of facts and tendencies, and he is a true patriot In weighty and noble words he calls attention to the duty of the pa- triots of to-day. It Is not to fight for liberty with sword and gun, but it is to fight for the preservation of liberty hy thoughtfully and actively doing the full duty of a good citizen. Every body who means to be a, good citizen needs to be inspired by the spirit which inspired the following impressive words of Senator Platt: Freedom can be enjoyed only under the guarantee of government. Liberty is a myth ex- cept as regulated by law. All that man has, longs and hopes for, or as- pires to be, depends upon the mainten- ance of good government, and that gov ernment only Is good which is honest and clean and pure and unpersonal in all it's branches; which seeks in law making, in official appointment and in administration, first and always, the promotion of the general welfare and the security of liberty to all The cause of good government in nation, state, city and town, needs the support of the patriot, and not only his passive, but his active and zaalous support.
 Senator Platt does not despair of the Republic, though he does desire to see a patriotic revival. He welcomes the signs that such a revival is at hand, and he hopes that the new days may l be as good and noble as the old days. ! And he strikes the root of the matter when he says: If government is to be
 kept pure and benf1cent, if evil ten
 dencies are to be checked, and the
 schemes of the ignorant, misguided, sell
 fish and corrupt thwarted, 1t must be { done by men who, though their patriot l ism sometimes seems to slumIber, dc yet love the idea of free government 1 with pure and ardent passion as ! marked the men of the Revolution.

 THE FOURTH IN ROSEBORO.
 Early morning, and the usual jubilee chorus of robins, bobolinks and whip poor-wills resounds clearly and sweetly from the grove beyond the hill From below, down by the stores," where village boys delight to congregate comes an intermittent and muffied accompani- ment of cannon crackers, "baby walk ers,' and rifles. Young America is in a paroxysm of patriotism, but elder America, remembering that it has holiday, turns upon it's pillow and peacefully falls asleep again.
 Two or three hours later there is a fusillade below the windows. Young America is coming home hungry Rather pale from early rising, excite ment, and fasting, are the young pa triots: carelessly dressed, with powder stains on fingers and faces, and few holes burnt in their raiment, but not the tip of an ear is missing. They haven't killed the,nselves-yet," sigh their parents. Thank Provideneen'
 They eat hastily and insufficiently- they have so many desperate deeds to boast of. And then the time is so short though there is a whole day before them. They come in unwillingly to morning prayers. and when the small est boy kneels down the muzzle of a murderous looking cap-pistol protrudes from one pocket of his little trousers, while stray 'torpedoes trickle from an- other. One boy falls asleep, but wakes with the, "Amen," and all troop out again, yelling as they go Now they take possession of piazzas and steps; there are skirmishes, and battles, and the firing is incessant Moreover. there are wars-of words. The walks are red-not with gore, but with the shells of exploded firecrackers. Beyond this military practice of the Home Guard there is little to be heard but the stamp ing of the horses in the stable. Mon-

Fresh Vegetables Are Necessities in sum- mer Time.
 (From the Baltimore American.l While primitive man subsisted on the products of the fields, forest and stream without the aid of cooks, 1t should be our aim to live near that condition by taking more and more of those foods which demand the least usy of heat or cooking in their preparation.
 In selecting uneooked food we must always be vigilant and use that which is perfectly sound and in good condi- tion, neither unripe nor overripe. With tomatoes. lettuce, romaine. cucumber, cress and the numerous other plants of the kitchen garden, We can make com- binations for a summer meal which all most exclude cereals for main sub- stance. Beef tongue with lettuce and beet, or fish and cucumber; chicken or game with cress or romaine. and toma- toes with just enough well-baked bread to help out meal, offers a repast att tractive, satisfying and nutritious to the majority of feeders.
 Contrary to general notions, the use of fat in the form of salad oils should be encouraged in summer Let it be re- membered that the more oil we take the less bread we need. One ounce of oil will do as much duty as food as two and a. half ounces of dry starch, or five ounces of bread. and is much more ea- silly digested.
 The quantity of oil we can consume is very small, and once the appetite is ac- quired. digesthpn will be greatly inn proved Salad might certainly be used twice a day.
 There is another aspect to this fea- tlire of food of great value. Observa- ton will teach the inquirer that the thirsty souls who can never get enough water to drink of any kind are those who consume most starchy substances, as, for instance, boiled potatoes, bread having little well drowned crust and pies. Cheap potatoes and abundant flour are not always unnixed blessings With these Is needed high degree of experience and skill of the cook to pre- pare such articles in a way least injuri- ous to the stomach and the intestines.
 In summer digestion needs to be wig oTous. and to insure this end We ought to avoid, as much as we can, the use of food which is digested in the intestines, to which class bread and potatoes be- long.
 Salads ere at all times valuable as cooling, refreshing food, and are, be- sides, excellent food for promoting sleep.
 The salad dressing does not often re- qufre the cook stove to prepare it, since oil, vinegar, cream and eggs may be used The taste and sentiment of eve- ry individual may be consulted by va- rying the form of service to any con- ceivable extent.

having electric motors was mot in 1t, The steam carriages were hardly more fortunate, only one succeeding in fin ishing the trip from Versailles to Bor- deaux and back to Paris, and great deal of trouble was caused by num- ber of small accidents, The petroleum motors were very successful. A pe- troleum carriage carrying two persons averaged fifteen miles an hour during the Journey of TAO miles, and the mechanism appeared to be In as good condition at the end of the long run as when it left the shops. Another petroleum vehicle with four passengers averaged twelve and one-half miles an hour, the TAO miles being covered In less than sixty hours, and so manifest was the superiority of the petroleum motors that as good an authority as London Engineering believes that we must look in the direction of the oil motor for the solution of the problem of passenger locomotion on common roads.
 The indications are that with the bicycle, and with gas, petroleum and electricity we shall soon be able to get about rapidly. cheaply and eonven-

 PROGRESS.

Electricity has not yet knocked nut gas for lighting purposes, and gas is actually gaining on electricity as a motive power. Gas engines are now used for running street cars in a num- Der of the cities of continental Europe According to the statement made by the United States consul in Dresden. the street car company of that city, which has been using vehicles of this kind for some time past, has been fully satis- fled with the results of it's experiment. The cost per car mile is set at about the equivalent of one cent for fuel, a sum which we think is much smaller than the cost of transit by any other method of propulsion. The gas used is in a acompressedf form, and the recharging Of a cylinder which has been exhausted after some twelve miles of travel is said to require only half minutes time. Another advantage of the sys- tenn is that each car is supplied with independent motive power, and hence no mishap can occur that can inter fere with the progress of more than one vehicle
 It is interesting to notice that at the recent test in France of mechanically propelled road vehicles the carriage
