Mrs. Howe's Husband.

Apropos of the "new woman," some body resurrected an old story the other day about Mrs. Juliet Ward Howe that may or may not be true. At all events it was worth resurrecting. The story goes that Mrs. Howe was one fine morn ing walking down Beacon street, Bos- ton, when she met a friend who asked her how Dr. Howe was. "Dr. Howe?'' repeated Mrs. Howe, vaguely. Then as if suddenly recollecting herself: "Oh he's quite well, I'm sure. I remember seeing in the morning paper that he presided at some meeting or other last evening"

TERRAIN CATCHING,

Taken Most AhundantIy in Cold Weather
 Because of Their One Unvarying Habit.
 No successful method of catching ter rapin in large numbers has yet been de- vised. A kind of set net is sometimes used, but with no remarkable success. The general statement holds that ter rapin are caught singly. At no season of the year do the fishermen, who make side issue of terrapin, know ex- actly where to look for them. All their movements are aimless, and their only habit which can be depended on is that of burying themselves in the mud at the bottom of the water during the continuance of cold weather.

Some of the Things Which Modern Gus

The Claws of war; as at present formulated by civilized nations forbid the use of poison against the enemy; murder by treachery, such as assuming the uniform or displaying the flag of the foe; the murder of those who have sur rendered, whether upon conditions or at discretion; declarations that no quarter will be given to an enemy; the use of such arms or projectiles as will cause unnecessary pain or suffering to an enemy; the abuse of flag of truce to gain information concerning an enc niy's position; all unnecessary destruc- tion of property, whether public or private.
 They also declare that only fortified places shall be besieged, open villages or cities. not to be subject to siege or bombardment; that public buildings of whatever character, whether belong ing to the church or state, shall be spared; that plundering by private soldiers or their officers shall be inad- missable; that prisoners shall be treated with common humanity; that the per- sonal effects and private property of prisoners, excepting their arms and am. munition, shall be respected; that the population of an enemy's country shall be considered to be exempt from partici- patton in the war unless by hostile acts they provoke the ill will of the enemy: that personal and family honor, and the religious convictions of an invaded peo- He, shall be respected by the invaders, and that all pillage by regular troops or their followers shall be strictly for bidden

MONKEY LIGHTS MATCHES.
But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle 8
 Fire with Them.

No creature but man has ever made use of fire. An African traveller, indeed. has told story of apes making thiev- ing raid on camp of natives, and car rying torches to light their way; but this story lacks proof, and is not ac- cepted as true by zoologists.
 There is, however, says the Youths Companion, in the Philadelphia zoologi- cal garden a monkey who has learned to scratch matches perfectly well. This accomplishment he is willing to exhibit on any occasion. He has learned to hold the match by it's middle part, so that his fingers are not burned by being too near the flame, and so that the match will not break by being held too near the other end.
 This fact involves another, that he is aware which end has the sulphur, and does not attempt tc scratch the unsul- phured end. He has furthermore learned that rough surface is better to scratch the match on than smooth one, and his care in looking for the rough places is very diverting.
 But with all these intelligences, the monkey has no notion of kindling an- other fire with the one that he has caused by the friction of the match. He simply lets the match burn out, and if he lights another, does it for the pleas. ure of seeing it burn.
 This monkeys keepers, and the men of science who are experimenting with his intelligence, hope to communicate to him eventually an idea of fire making and using; but from the moment they succeed in doing so-if they ever do sue. ceed-it will be necessary to keef matches out of his reach.

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale vet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property.

The Office of Prosecutsng Attorney
of county the size and Importance Of
Wood, is most difficult Office to fill
and give satisfaction to all parties, and
it would be next to an impossibility to
find any person who could do so, yet it
is possible for man to do the right as
he sees it, and the friends of Pros ecut-
ing Attorney HON. A. B. MURPHY
claim that he has done so, and they
further claim, and point to the records
for proof, that he has prosecuted and
sent to the Penitentiary more crimin-
ais from Wood county than has been
done by any Prosecuting Attorney who
has proceeded him in that important
Office.
The subject of this sketch. ARTHUR
B. MURPHY, was born in Della ware
county, Ohio, December 18th. 1860.
He attended the district schools until

where he graduated with the class of

the valedictorian of class of sixty
pupils. He also represented that

the occasion. In 1887 he graduated
from the Cincinnati Law school and
then came to Wood county, locating at
Bowling Green where he engaged in the
practice of law In November 1890, he
was appointed Mayor of Bowling

PREVENTIVE AGAINST COLDS.

Germans Novel Method of Keeping tho
Feet Warm In Cold Weather.
Warm feet during wet wea ther are
the best preventive against so-caled
colds" and their often dangerous con-
sequences. Rubber shoes and cork soles
have been pretty generally used to avoid
getting cold and wet feet, but new and
very curious means to warm the feet
has recently been patented by Paul
Wonneberger, of Gruna, near Dresden,
says the Philadelphia Record. He calls
his invention "heatable Shoes" Within
the heel of the shoe, which is followed
out, there is q receptacle for glowing
substance, similar to that used in the
japanese hand-warmers. Between the
soles, imbedded in asbestos covers, there
is rubber bag, which is filled with wa
ter. The water is heated above the
heel, and as it circulates while the
wearer of the shoe is walking it keeps
the entire neither surface of the foot
warm. A small safety valve is provided,
and the bag cannot burst. The warmth
given by this sole never rises above
20 degrees Fahrenheit, and will last for
about eight hours. The shoes are little
heavier than ordinary ones, and the
sole is but slightly thicker thar that of
the so-called wet weather boot.

which OF Noahs Descendants First Saw
the Light in the Ark?
Hundreds of ancient cleaners of mis-
cellaneous curios, legends, myths and
traditions give us to understand that
Cush was born on the ark, says the St.
Louis Republic. Others claim that
there was child born on the sacred
vessel, but that it was sacrificed to one
of the wild beasts, Noah declaring that
no person should leave the ark who
had not gone on board in the regulation
manner. The weight of the evidence
as it is given by the Talmudic writer's
is to the effect that Cush is the person
referred to by the old-time mystery
cleaners when they speak of the lark
born" man. The sacred books, as well
es the scores of Biblical encyclopedias,
hand books of ancient history, ETC., are
silent on the subject. In a reprint of
one of the rare old fSaxon Chronicles"
Is found clew to the mystery, and an
other slight hint in an explanatory note
in Herbert's "Nimrod." In the Saxon
Chronicles" the following occurs:
"Bedwig was the son or Shem, who was
the son of Noah, and he, Bedwig, was
born on the ark" Herbert's note in
"Nimrod," colume ii, page 81, says
"Kybelc is the ark, and, as Cush was be-
gotten in the ark, his posterity were, in
q peculiar sense, descended from that
ship" Although Herbert made no di-
rect references to the fact of Cush be-

New Yorker.

New Yorker.
Here is brand-new swindle. The man
who invented it or heard of it in some
out-of-the-way part of tho world had
some money, says the New York Re-
corder. He rented house in one of
the oldest parts of New York. 1t is a
quarter in which swell Knickerbockers
lived, and some of their descendants
live there to this day. He made himself
a familiar figure in liquor store in the
neighborhood, where he sampled va
rious brands and vintagcs and proved
himself a connoisseur.
One day he told the proprietor that he
had taken down brick wall in the
rear of the cellar of his house, intend.
ing to replace it with stone, as it had
grown moldy. Behind it he found three
casks of remarkable brandy that had
been lying recondte for many years,
undoubtedly the property Of some long
dead and forgotten householder, who
knew a good thing when he saw 1t, and
was saving it.
The saloon man bought it at SIG a
gallon, having previously tasted an al
legged sample that for bouquet has
never been surpassed upon this conti-
nent or any other. The goods were de-
livered and the tenant disappeared with
two months rent in arrears. 1t was
really good brandy worth about six dol
lars a gallon, at which price it had been
bought from n Broadway street wine
merchant.
However, the wineroom man did not
lose anything. His customers are
drinking brandy (at 40 cents "pony'D
which they are assured has lain in a
New York cellar for 100 years.
