of Removing to Cleveland.
Canton. O., May 11.-For several
weeks rumors have been circulated that
when Gov. Mckinley was nominated

The Hin Of the Four Rivers.

On the summit Of high hill in Potter
county, fifteen miles from this place,
are four springs 80 near together that a
person may carry water in the hollow Of
his hand from any one Of them and drop
some OF it into the other three. In one
Of these springs the Allegheny river
has it's source. Another is the fountain
head OF the Genesee river. In q third
the Shinnemahoning branch of the
SusquehRnna rises and flows west and
south to the main stream. The fourth
spring sends fourth the Pine Creek
branch OF the Susquehsnna river, which
flows east and south to the main stream
Thus waters starting on a northern
Pennsylvania hill, within a stones throw
of one another, separate at last so widely
teat those FROM one spring have their
outlet in the Gulf OF Mexico, those from
another mingle with the tide in the
Gulf OF St Lawrence, while those from
the other two reunite again in Chesa-
peake bay. 1t is doubtful il there is
another such watershed on the continent
as that Pennsylvania upland. Roulette

A Blg EnglIuh sprlng.

A supply Of water, estimated at about
5000 gallons day, has just been tapped
at Richmond, England, in remarkable
circumstances. For some time past
extensive bOrings bsve been made in the
adits of the Richmond Terrace Gardens
well, but with comparatively little
success. Lately two "water OWNERS"
named Gataker and Mullens, visited the
we'll and both predicted that water
would sbe found at certain indicated
spots, the former alleging that by max
ing fifty borings, at cost Of about $500,
an enormous supply might be obtained,
worth to the town about $4,000 a year,
on the Southwark and Vauxhall yalua-
tIon. On Monday Of last week it was
decided to begin boring at a point where
both the "diviners" predicted q find,

about 20 feet spring was tapped which

COurtship Among the Beers.

Fads About Food.

1t has never been scientifically demon
strated that fish and other phosphoric
foods can appreciably improve the brain
and mind. Fishermen, for example, and
fishmongers, who may be supposed to
live largely upon fish, have never shown
themselves to be in any measurable
degree more intellectual than their
neigbors. Indeed, 1t may be plausibly
argued that they are q little less 30.
The truth is that particular food which
best sgress with the particular in
dividual, and which best maintains his
general health at high level, is the best
for the brain and every other organ Of
the body, as well as for the whole man.
Common experience has long ago for
mulatsd the saying that "what is one
mans meat is another mans poison.

Fruit 90 ! Medicine.

Very few people are aware Of the medi-
Cinal qualities OF grapes; but these they
possess. The pulp is nutritious, and the
juice contains sugar, tanniC acid, bitar-
trate Of potassium, tartrate Of calcium,
common salt and sulphste Of potassium.
Without doubt the woman who Guilt
Yates the habit Of eating a great deal Of
fruit is the gamer Of health and ap-
pearance. The grape fruit, or shaddock,
so called from it's disOoverer, Lieut.

name, pumelo, is highly priced by those
who live in mslarial localities. It is

from the natural cup, or relishes it

with the reflection that she is not only
pleasing her palate, but benefting her
health. Like oranges and lemons, the
grape fruit has great medicinal virtues.
II you are Of bilious temperament, eat
grape fruit; if fever threatens, eat grape
fruit, but in this latter case do so orly
at the advice of a physician, as there
may be certain tendencies which the
grape fruit would only aggrsvate. The

FAultRnding.

Fault6nding is much easier than gen.
erous appreciation. To find fault you
have only to stand off and point out
wherein the person or action or thing
fails to come up to your ideal, which,
by the way, may not be good one. To
appreciate requires degree Of insight
and sympathy, and search for the
point OF view which discloses the best
qualities II we we're required to name
the one thing which most contributes to
the happiness Of household life we should
unhesitatingly select the disposition on
the part Of the members Of q family to
appreciate instead Of finding fault with
each other; to draw attention to the ex-
cellencies Of others instead Of harping
on their defects. Such disposition is
better than money or beauty. 1t is o
perpetual joy to the pOsSessor, and it

Keeplng Everlastingly at 1t.

Genius is really only the power Of
making continuous efforts. The line
between failure and success is 90 fine
that we scarcely know when we pass it
80 fine that we are often on the line
and do not know it. How many man
has thrown up his hands at time when
little more patience would have
achieved successl AS the tide goes
clear out, so 1t comes clear in. In bust
ness, sometimes, prospects may be
darkest when really they are on the
turn. A little more persistence, little
more effort, and what seemed hopeless
failure may turn to glorious success.
There is no failure except in no longer
trying. There is no defeat except from
within, no really insurmountSble bar

Tale Of q Tame Hen.

When I was little girl we had among
our fowls favorits hen which we petted
a good deal. She would frequently enter
the house on the sly, and several morn
ings we found an egg as proof Of her
visit. Once my mother was obliged to re-
main in bed. Falling asleep. she awoke
to find, with no little surprise, "Blan-
chette" quietly nestled within her arm.
My mother, on trying to drive her away,
so angered the hen as to receive several

remained till her egg was laid, and then
with a farewell cackle she descended

The preparation OF peppermint is
especially an American industry. The
peppermint is cut when in bloom, like
hay, dried, placed in close wooden vats
and steamed. The oil cells burst and
the oil passes upward with the steam,
which is condensed and conducted into
q receiver, where the oil rises and is
piped of. It takes about $50 pounds of
dry peppermint to produce one pound Of
oil. An acre of land yields from six to
ten pounds Of oil, often moreover as
high as fifty pounds. New York and
Michigan produce the most.

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

The delegation OF American manu-
facturers which went to South Amer
lea several months ago for the pur-
pose Of studying the business condi-
tions in some OF the countries there
and ascertaining what is necessary to
the enlargement OF our trade with
South America appears to have met
with much encouragement. The dele
cation has met with a cordial welcome
and it is stated that the Venezuelan
government has shown its appreciation
Of the purpose Of the visitors by ex-
tending valuable concessions as re-
CARDS tariff duties to American pro-
ducts. Merchandise from the United
States entered for exhibit in Venezuela
will be admitted free OF duty and it ls
proposed TO establish in the capital OF
that republic, under the auspices Of the
American National Association Of Mar
ufacturers, an exhibition which will
give Venezuelan merchants an oppor-
tunity of seeing what American pro-
ducts they can buy to advantage. II
has been ascertained that in hardware
furniture, machinery, labor-saving ap-
pliances. agricultural implements, cotton
goods and a number OF ether articles,
the manufacturers Of this country can
successfully compete with those Of Eu-
rope in the South American market, so
that there is every reason to believe
that with proper effort our trade with
the countries to the south can be very
greatly enlarged.
Those United States cOnsuls who have
given attention to the matter say that |
the Spanish-Americans are extremely |
eager for more intimate trade relations |
with this country, and there can be no
doubt that this is true of those republics
generally, there being among them,
perhaps, two or three exceptions, due to
the great preponderance Of European
capital in their business affairs. It is
