Sandy Come to Town to Ascertain About
 it and Findsa Good Program.
 Weel man Sandy, ye mind last year ye cam into the town tae hear aboot the Burns concert; weel, now, that chap wi the paper an kelevine was a reporter frae the "Gourier" an he print ed every word we spak' It is guid nlcht an not o'er cauld sac well go over an sit doom on the steps O the auld kirk. I'm thinking the reporter ladsll no disturb us there.
 Weeb tae begin WI this Is the twen- ty-ffth time they hae held concert Tn honor O Robbie Burns, an they nae gotten Maister HaWley tae come a the way frae the senate in Washington tae talk the chair. Last year they had thlS high judge, Maister Torrance an real canny chairman he made, an this year Maister Hawley frae the senate. US like gaun frae the Coort O Session tae the Hoos O Lords. Maister Lynde liar rison, wha is tae gie the address on Burns is a New Haven man, weel Ken a gran speaker an a great admirer O our plooman bard. The singers nae been gathered wi much trouble here aboot an far ava.
 There is this Gaffney lassie that had ye greeting twa years in Jock O Ha- zeldean, an there is the Horlocker las- sic that ye thought sac muckle O last year. She is gaun tae sing Caller Her rim till ye think we're back on the plain stanes O auld Edinboro. Ye min the lassie Burk that raised your hair last year as she telPt us aboot the twa dozen drunken pipers all playln dlI- ferent chune at the weddin' O Shon Me Lean; weel she's tae be there tae tell us aboot twa lads that had a race for wife. The other lassie, Behrens her name is, is fiddler that has never been here before, but they say she IS me player an comes maist highly recom- mendit. MT, Rieger is the great singer that ye read sac much aboot in the pa pers. He sang in this town aboot amonth syne, when the papers gave him great praise. Mr. Miles is a young Welshman that never sung here before, but frae all accoonts he is a fine singer. He proves in himsel that the great Edward O. England did ma kill all the bards O Wales, ony main than he did the scotch anes. On the whole I'm doubtin' if gran'er concert has been given in this town in mony day bod, but there's a reporter within the shadow O the very kirk, eh, man! But they down a thing.

A Clock in a Bottle.
[From Inc Demerara Argosy l

There is now being exhibited in the window in the shop of MT. Kaps. the watchmaker, clock, the works of which are in the inside of an ordinary clear glass wine bottle, the dial plate being set obliquely on the top of the bottle. How the works were introduced into the bottle is the mystery at first glance, but even when it is. ascertained that no single piece is wider than the neck of the bottle, the wonder then oc- CUTS to the mind as to how the pieces of such delicate machinery were therein put together.

tired Of having the corn cribs and
smoke houses in the West, and will be
able to live largely at home the next
year. The present corn crop is the
biggest grown in the State since the
war, and it is all paid for. The hog

farm in 1895, as it has largely control
led in the present year. The News &
Courier has received from its Willston
correspondent statement showing that
in this little town of probably 200 in
habitants, $4,000 pounds of pork has
been slaughtered this year and that in
Aiken county the country people are
better supplied with hog and hominy

Health Hints.

A prominent physician says that
children's school lunches should not be
put up in lunch basket or tin box, az
unpleasant Odors always cling to a
much-used receptacle. He recommends
a fresh. clean napkin wrapped neatly
about the food and a paste board box
to hold it all. The box can then be
thrown away after it has been used
once or twice.
TO cure a felOn, take sassafras bark
and grind tin the coffee mill or
Otherwise-stir into a pOutice with
cold water, and apply to the ielon.
Keep wet by putting in cold water !;
that is, do not let it dry out. In short
time the felon will be killed.
For cough, boil one ounce OF flax
seed IN a pint Of water, strain and add
a little honey, one ounce of rock candy,
and the Juice of three lemons; mix and
boil we'll. Drink as hot as possible.
When a person is strangling, make
him swallow the white Of an egg, but
do not beat it, This will almost GER
tainly dslodge the obstruction unless
lodged in the trachea.
If you keep your milk and cream III

The Minister Tells a Good Story a:
Against Himself.
San Francisco Neus-Letter.

San Francisco NeWs-Letter.
The Rev. George r. Dodson, the pop
ular Unitarian minister, Of Alameda,
tells rather a good story at his own ex-
pense. While spending his summer
vacation at Skaggs Springs, one OF his
greatest friends was q fellow boarder, q
little girl about three years old The
two we're constant companions, and the
child daily accompanied the clergyman
on his excursions in the neighbOrhood.
One day the little girl remarked to her
fellow diners
Il like going out with Mr.. Dodson. "
"Why?" queried stranger, hoping
to draw the child out.
Because he has no morals" was the
startling reply.
When the summer bOarders had re-
covered their equanimity they lnstitut-
ed an investigation, the upshot of which
was the discovery that the curly-haired
maiden possessed an Unsuitable craving
for stories. This desire was frequently
gratified by Mr.. Dodson, but unlike the
anecdotes of the child's mother, the
minister's tales were never pointed with
il moral for the youngsters government

Athletic Assassination.


Norfolk Pilot.
Within month two men have been
Knocked to death in the prize ring in
this country, and within two years some
half-dozen tragedies have been laid to
the account OF this modern system OF
murder. With the methods now en-
ployed by pugilists and their so-calIed
scientific skill in picking out the spots
on a mans torso where knockout"
blows may be landed, the dangers OF
the ring have been greatly increased
and any man who enters 1t for fight
takes his life literally in his hands.
This danger Is not likely to decrease in
the future.
We naturally revolt against the bru-
tai sport when such tragedy as that
in New Orleans is reported to us by the
wires, but how much more would we
feel the criminal degradation if the
murder Law at our own doors? Yet
such thing is possible to us at any
time.
Under the guise of "social and ath-
letic clubs" several organizations have
been chartered by our corporation
court, that are conducting thinly dis
guised prize-fights in the city night
after nigt. These clubs locate in the
city where Judge Brooke has himself
refused licenses for liquor shops, and
there they not only set up illegal bar
rooms, but advertise in the newspapers
that they will give exhibitions of
"sparring for points" The latter phase
is used to keep in line with certain fool
decisions heretofore made that "spar-
ring for point" lis not illegal. Yet the ex-
hibitions given by these clubs are rank
smuggling matches, made for money, and
tipped off to the chosen spectators, who
pay their fee simply to see two human
b:utes maui each other for the paltry
price of weeks debauch
These clubs refuse the police admie-
sion to their "exhibltions" and who.
then, shall Judge whether their game is
one OF "sparring tor points" or smuggling
for blood and tombstones? The whole
thing is miserable and disgraceful
shame to our community and its civil
llZation. 1t is more shame to our
courts that can find fiddlestlck legal
bubbles for the protection of these
brutal performances One of these
nights some man will probably be taken
out of the ring dead and there will be
hue and cry against our police force
and men will not stop to consider that
our courts have told the police to "hands
of" these scientific exhibitions. Bu1
we protest now and here, in the name
OF decency and Christian civilization
against the crime of these performance.
and call upon our judges to unhanc
the police and let them suppress tn,
lawless exhibitions.

1t would seem to a man up a tree that
the Nevada Legislature could find more
profitable work for the people OF the
State than TO pass such high sounding
resolutions as that passed in honor OF
Senator Jones. 1t strikes us that the
Legislature should have sent the Senator
a short, crisp message requesting him to
go to Washington attend to his duties.
Spending the States money in exalting
the Senator's "transcendental intellect
uality' when he is neg'eeting his duties
seems like ~tomfoolery to the average
man.-Independent.
