Husking Corn by Thrashing.

A New York correspondent Of Coun-
try Gentleman who had 700 bushels Of
dry corn to husk engaged man who
owns an ordinary grain separator and
engine to do the work This did it to
perfection, with the exception Of crack
ing the corn slightly; but that is no OBJ
lection if you wish to feed it. 1t may
seem that it requires considerable help
to execute the work, though e'ght men
are sufficient to thrash that quantity in
day. But if you consider that at this
operation you are husking, Smelling, get
ting corn in barn, also getting fodder in
barn and all shredded, which is better
than cutting it, as cattle will eat it all
up, you will not fail to see a saving of
labor and time also. 1t has thrashed per-
fectly clean and has proved satisfactory.

How a Bashful Young Man at Last Got n
spoon.
There is a man, we'll known in ju-
dicial circles as one of the most polished
and courtly of gentlemen, who tells the
following story:
He had not, i'll his early youth, those
advantages which tend to produce ease
of manner. When about 10. he was
much i'll love with Il neighbor's daugh-
ter, and, according to his statement,
was at this time nearly 4 feet tall, un-
calmly, shy and with the proverbial ubiq-
uitous hands and feet
One Sunday he was at dinner with
his rosy checked sweetheart, and when
the guests had been served with soup
the youth discovered that he had no
spoon. He grew red i'll the face and was
i'll an agony of modification and dismay.
If he asked for spoon, he felt sure ev-
cry one would look at him. if he did
not eat his soup, his hostess would be
sure to remark il. What was he to do:
He felt his hands growing larger and
more in the way than ever, and his feet
caused him untold emotion by absolute
ly refusing to 90 under his chair.
Great heads of perspiratiun stood out
Oh his face and trickled down like rain.
The situation was becoming unendur-
able when a terrified cat, pursued by a
small bur game terrier, rushed into the
room and sprang upon the table. The
guests jumped up, and i'll the general
confusion the embarrassed youth retain
ed his seat and turning to the servant
remarked calmly, I'm have a spoon,
please. ashiugton Times.

A Book for Young Men.

An immeasurable amount of suffering and
injury to the human race, is due to the ignor-
ant violation Of physiological laws by the
youth of our land. Ruinous practices are
indulged in, through ignorance of the in
evitable injury TO constitution and health
which surely follows. By every young man,
the divine injunction, Know Thyself,"
should be well needed. To assist such in
acquiring knowledge of themselves and of
how to preserve health, and to shun those
peTnicious and most destructive practices, to
which so many fall victims, as well as to re-
claim and point out the means of relief and
cure to any who may unwittingly have
violated Natures laws, and are already
suffering the dire consequences an association
of medical gentlemen have carefully prepared
a little book which is replete with useful
information to every young man. 1t will be
sent to any address, securely sealed from
observation in plaiL envelope, by the
Worlds Dispensary Medical Association of
663 Main Street, Buffalo, N. Y, on recent 81

DR.. Nansen,s ALLEGED Discovery.

ST PETERSBURG, Feb 9O-At a meet
ing of the Imperial Geographical society
Senator Semenoff, the vice president of
the society, said that it would be prema-
ture yet to deny the news of DIR. Nansen' 5
discovery of the North Pole. 1t was prob
able, he said, that DR. Nansen was return
ing, or had returned, to the New Siberian
Island, where Baron Toll had placed stores
of provisions in anticipation of his return.
The first news of DR.. Nansen was received
by Peter Kuschnereff, who was searching
for the ivory of the extinct mammoth on
the New Siberian islands. Kuschnoreff' S
men possibly met n member of the Nansen
expedition, or even Nansen himself.

An Important Constitutional Amendment
Presented in the Senate.
TRENTON Feb. i9-The legislature passed
only one or two unimportant bills yester-
day Senator Williams introduced in the
senate an important amendment to the
constitution, which is modification of
the several propositions for reconstrue'
tion of the court of errors and appeals.
This new proposition Is said to meet the
approval Of the governor, and provides for
D court of errors and appeals to consist of
the chancellor and one vice chancellor the
chief iuStica and one associate Justice, and
three judges, who must be lawyers and not
members of any other court. The associate
justice and vice chancellor are to be Sc
lected from the associate justices and vice
chancellors, and rotate every two years.
The senate passed Assemblyman Wildes'
bill reducing the compensation of town
ship assessors and collectors, and also the
house bill providing for the use of last

ASHLAND has long held the reputation of
being nou-progressive in many respects, but
that trait was never more forcibly portrayed
than ON Tuesday when the citizens of the
ward voted against the increase indebtedness.
The Borough Council asked for SEQ, 900 for
the purpose of building an additional storage
reservoir, but the increase was defeated by a
large majority. The experience of the
people Of Ashland last summer during the
drouth should have been sufficient to con
vince the people of that town that money
spent in the direction of increasing the water
was well spent, but it appears not to have
been the case. The question of water is one
that is not to be measured by dollars and
cents. In a short while the people will
realize this Shenandoah paid good round
sum for its plant-and there are none better
in this section of the state-but they would
not part with it for double the amount.
