guest of the Watson Hotel. He
is just home from q two weeks
stay in New Y ork. where he went
in the interest of the proposed
railroad from the waters OF the
West Fort to the Ohio. He is
very much pleased with the re-
suit of his trip. and believes that
this much needed road will be
built very socn. Col. jackson
has given a great deal ofhis time
to the project and has spent a

road will be built, and we believe
him, for he is not given to chas-

Most of our great men have
had temper that could be quick

George Washington got very
angry sometimes. Neither JEFF

Abraham Lincoln at times when
he did not smile. The temper of
Wendell Phillips was not as hot
as that of Garrison but it became
pretty warm under temptation.
There never was a better temp

Carlyle, the worst tempered

life In scolding all creation. If
the flaming man of Ecclefechan

the cool headed sage OF Musketa-

heat on the Concord River and
less on the Thames.
We praise our colored Ameri-

The Adhesive Pinstar.

In the family, where there are numer-<
Gus sideaches, backaches, bruises and
sprains, the porous plaster has come to

ting on is generally accepted with de-
light, but when it comes to the taking
off, the "oh, dears!" and ''don'ts!" and
cries of pain are many and emphatic.
Even after the plaster is pulled off,
there is a layer of adhesive gum on the
skin that is struggled with in all sorts
of ways. Sometimes the razor is en-
ployed for scraping; sometimes a sharp
knife is brought into use, and, again, a
soft warm cloth is pressed over the
spot, and when this has firmly
goes on. Those who have oc-
casion to use this application,
will find immediate relief from their
annoyance, If they will, after raising
one side of the plaster. wet the sur
face of the skin with alcohol, allow
ing It to run down as the plaster is
pulled little. If any of the gummy
substance remains, bit of rag wet
with alcohol will cleanse the surface
almost Immediately. This, also, has
another advantage, in that the stimu-
lating effect OF the alcohol prevents
any possible cold that might be taken
on account of the removal of the
warm plaster. This is but trife, but
1t makes easy something that has al
ways been q bugbear, especially to
children, and is well worth tying
