A Cripple for Life.

PARKERsBURG, Nov 9.-Tom Costel-
10. one of the brakemen on yard en-
gine 500, met with an accident about
II o'clock Saturday night, which will
render him bad cripple for life.
The engine was switching cars in the
Belpre yards, preparatory to bringing
a freight train across the bridge. Cos
tello attempted to board it as it passed
him, running at a pretty good rate OF
speed, and one of his feet in some way
got under the front truck of the tank.
When brought from Belpre to this
side of the river he requested that he
be allowed to walk to his home and
then, during the painful operation OF
having the crushed part Of his foot am.
putated, he sat up and watched the
whole proceeding without taking any.
thing whatever to alleyiate his pain.

the fioclls of sea fowl that nestled on it.
They had to move out of the way to
give us room, to stay there, and that
was about all they would do. Their
nests were everywhere, and there were
eggs in abundance. We ate about a
barrel of them every day during the L.
days we were there. Some of us got off
in boat and went to San Juan, in
Nicaragua, where we got a vessel to go
after those we left on the reef. That
vessel was commanded by William
Lawrence, of Bath, who was killed by q
man named Wilkinson while he was a
policeman there. We tried to get to the

There were three in one party md
two in the other. They were standing
before the white-nproned dispenser of
refreshments, says Chicago exchange,

party to have something. The dispenser
dealt out the order of the three, took
the dollar offered in payment and handed
back 35 cents in change. The other two,
standing short distance away, were
not served, as there was mistake on the
part of the cashier. The bill amounted
to less than q quarter according to the

nIni1ing war BALLOONS.

Women make the aercstats, or war
balloons, used by the British govern
ment, and also do some part of the rop-
ing of the balloons. They work in
sheds built specially for the purpose.
There are about IS women engaged,
and all earn good wages. They are
mostly the wives and daughters of sol
diers, and have all been carefully
trained by the superintendent of the
balloon department.. The making Of
the balloons requires very delicate
touch, one thin film of bullock's skin
having to be laid over another with the
greatest care. The ends of the ropes
have also to be woven into each other
with extraordinary deftness.

"Could you duplicate O. ring like

: "Yes," said the jeweler.

just the least bit asking that question.
The jeweler glanced at friend, winked
and smiled. He told her the price and

"This is rather valuable ring, isn't
it?"

"Well, shall see mamma first, and
if decide to have the ring duplicated
will let you know"
"She'll not be back" said the jeweler,
after the door had closed. Happy
creature! She really never intended
duplicating the ring. but she was
mortally anxious to find out how much
her fance had paid for it. For that was
her engagement ring, and you know
she had to know how much the trinket
was really worth. His depth of affec-

of his engagement ring. Now she's

INCREASED COTTON PRODUCT.
Improvement in Agricultural Methods In

Improvement in Agricultural Methods in
Twenty Years.
Some recently published figures and
other data with regard to the growth
Of cotton production are interesting,
Says the Savannah (Ga.) News. In 1875
the average yield per acre was 2G0
pounds. During the 20 years the acre
age devoted to cotton cultivation in
creased 12S per cent, while the pro-
duction increased 1873 per cent. That
is to say, the farms of the present day
are much more productive than were
those of 20 years ago. The reason
lis, as every practical farmer knows,
that agricultural methods have been
Hesors and chemists have labored with
the farmer to the end of bringing the
lands up to higher state of productive
ness. The former have produced new
implements for the cultivation of the
soil in an improved and at the same
time labor-saving manner. The latter
have instructed the farmer as to the
chemical elements needed for the en-
richment of his soil, and the fertilizer
manufacturer has provided those ele-
ments in convenient form for utiliza-
tion. Rule-o'-thumb farming has TO a
great degree given way to scientific
farming. Those fapmers who have not

A. case showing great cunning and
perseverance,, as well as tolerance of
much self-inflcted pain continued for
many months, is worth telling, says
Chambers Journal. The convict was
most determined and resourceful In bis
efforts at malingering. He began by
running piece of copper wire into his
Knee, by which he nearly lost his leg.
He then produced q number of sores
round the knee joint, and kept UP a
greav degree of swelling and infamma-
kion by means of a rag and thread
pushed. into the wounds. Upon the dis
covery of this he took to introducing
lime below the skin. On another &C.
fasion bandage was found firmly
bound round the mans thigh, the re-
suit being, in medical phraseolcgy,
'..extensive swelling and lividity of the
thigh"
The doctor ordered his limb to be
enveloped with a large piece Of gutta-
Percha so as to checkmate the prisoners
malpractices. The latter, however, by
means of strip of sheeting, and the
skewer to which part of his dinner YVES
attached, formed tourniquet, and by
It compressed his leg so much during
the night as to quite neutralize the
medical treatment it had received dur
ing the day. The imposture was at
length detected by an order of the doc
tor to expose the limb outside the bed
clothes TO the view of the officer day
and night, and from that hour progress
was toward complete recovery.

John r.. McLean'S
Great Newspaper.

Without single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer !;
or more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John R. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour-
nails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
Of the campaign year was offered at
SO cents year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
200, 900 new subscribers; the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire. otaf) a q
When asked for the secret of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers: /:
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. By
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
it incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as well as
those of greater magnitude.
