could got back to the town to the
houses Of friends, where the day
was spent, for it rained most Of the
time. Those who were acquainted
had a pleasant social time with
friends, but those who were not did
not fare as well. There was abund-
ance Of food for all, and nobody had
any excuse for being hungry as it
was freely distributed. Enough
was left over to make a big supper
at Kastner's on Monday, which was
partaken of by a large number.
The trains left about Z O'Clock for
Louisville, taking most of the x
cursionists back to their homes,
though quite a number stayed over
for a longer visit.
1t is hoped the next time Jasper
has so many visitors it will be a
pheasant day-for it is an awful
muddy town in wet weather.
The loca. branch of Knights are to
be congratulated on the number CT
visitors in attendance, and the pro-
visions made for entertaining them.

SECRET OF BAD CoMPELIoN.-The
secret of bad complexion, says a
physician in "Life and HEALTH" il a
bad digestion, and we generally trace
that to a bad liver. One of the best
remedies for a sluggish liver is
cheap and pleasant. Dieting is the
secret of the cure. The best liver
regulator for persons of sedentary hab-
|its-and those are the ones whose
complexions are muddy-is to be
found in apples, eaten baked if they
are not we'll digested when eaten raw.
I attended the pupils of a well-known
boarding school, and among them was
a country girl whose complexion was
the envy of all her associates. I found
that she was a very light eater at her
meals, but she had a peculiar custom
of taking a plate of apples to her room
at night and eating them slowly as
she studied her lessons. This was her
regular practice.

WISE OFFICE RATS.
They Had a Scheme That Beat the New
tangled Traps.

tangled Traps.
The employees of the Jersey City
Printing company have for long time
been troubled with rats. The rodents
are of unusual size, and are extreme
ly bold. They are boldest after dark,
and think nothing of running over the
feet of the employees.
Several cats were placed in the
building, with the hope that they
would exterminate the rats, but the
latter made it 80 warm for the cats
that they were driven away.
Various schemes have been worked
to entrap the rodents but with little
success. Finally Engineer August
Krone hit upon a scheme that for a
time bade fair to be just the thing.
He secured an old zinc oil tank, about
3 feet in height, and then fastened on
the edge 2.foot piece of board.
Then he arranged the board so that
it would swing up and down with one
end inside the tank. He placed a
piece of bologna sausage, fastened with
rubber band, on the edge of the
board which projected over the inside
of the tank, and half filled the vessel
with water. A few pieces of cheese
were placed along the other end of the
board to coax the rats on.
The trap was set where rats are
thickest, in the basement, and in few
minutes a rat climbed upon the end
of the board which protruded outside
the tank and rested upon support.
The rodent ate the cheese, and then
went for the bologna. AS it reached
the bait the other end of the board
tipped up, and the rat, with a squeal,
fell into the water and was drowned.
"Oh, that's the trick" said the en-
gineer, and his assistant said August
had great head.
Within ten minutes six more rats
walked the plank, and then there was
a remarkable display of rats cuteness.
Two rodents climbed the pile of pa
pers, and, while one stood on the safe
end of the board, the other carefully
made its way to the tempting bologna
and devoured half of it. The rats
then chhanged places, and the other
ate the rest of the bologna and half
the rubber band.
The engineer scratched his head and'
the other spectators said something
about people going to a lot of trouble
for nothing.
During the afternoon no more rats
were caught, but lot of cheese was
eaten by them. The engineer solemn
ly AYERS that he saw the rats not only
balance one another on the board
while the tempting bait was devoured,
but that the rodents actually engaged
in game ofsee-saw, simply for amuse'
ment. August still has faith in his
patent trap, but nobody else has.

Mr.. Graham groaned and looked at

II knew how it would be, Jim; these

THE ATMosPHERE.--Even if it were

THE ATMosPHERE.--Even ifi were
possible for man to live without breath
ing air, he could not exist on the earth
if it were without an atmosphere.
Plants derive carbon, the most impor-
tant element of their food, from the
air, and without plants there could be
no food for animals and therefore no
human beings. Water also comes from
the atmosphere, but if there was no
water, there could be neither plants
nor animals. If food and water could
be supplied in some other way the
world would still be uninhabitable by
plants and animals, owing to the Sc
verify of the cold. Without an at
mosphere there would be no winds,
and consequently no waves or ocean
currents. The sea-if we may sup
pose one to have been supplied by
some unknown cause-would be a
stagnant pool, uninhabitable by sea-
weed or fish.

Democratic Greece.
TEE END.

Greece is, undoubtedly, the most
democratic nation In Europe-perhaps
In the world. In southeastern Europe
the rule of the Turk obliterated all So
oial distinctions and swept away every
yestige of feudalism. Roumania alone,
which was never 80 completely under
the Turkish yoke, retains an aristocratic
class, but Servia, Bulgaria and Greece
are democratic to the core. In Servia
and Bulgaria, however, the Slavonic in.
stinct Of obedience exists, the value Of
which is nowhere better shown than in
the admirably disciplined Bulgarian
army. In Greece every man is, in his
own opinion, as good as his fellow-not
only socially, but morally and intellec-
tually. Wealth, ability and high charac-
ter, Of course. count for something, but
they are only regarded as accidental to
the individual. There il little respect
for dignities-so little, indeed, that it
has been said every soldier in the army
is a general, and every sailor in the
navy an admiral. A cabinet minister,
seeking reelection to the chamber,
throws open his drawing room to his
constituents. Men of every rank and
class of society-lawyers, doctors, stu
dents, cabmen, laborers-troop in, wear
ing their hats and smoking cigarettes.
Not that they mean any disrespect, far
from it, buu they see no reason for max
ing any alteration in their usual habits.
They come to express their views on the
topics of the day. They interrogate the
candidate at length and warmly grasp
his hand. They ask any little favor they

The state of Georgia is in mourning
and the whole nation is sad, for an.
other truly great American has passed
away. Ex-Speaker Charles F. Crisp
died in Atlanta last Friday afternoon
of about 2 o'clock.
Speaker Crisp had been seriously i'll
for many weeks. He was i'll when
congress adjourned; but just about
that time it was thought that Georgia
was undecided as to what to do on
the silver question, and against the
advice of friends who were acquainted
with his physical condition, he hurried
to his state to make a number of
speeches. How he met and van
quished Secretary Smith at several
appointments, and how he was at last
forced to retirement on account OF
physical exhaustion, is still fresh in

Secretary Olney called early at the

The two are engaged in the prepar-

it is believed.
The president may feel that it is
his duty in view of the overwhelming
majority by which the Cuban concur
rent resolutions passed both branches
of congress. to come out with a plain
statement of the reasons that influence
him in preserving Unmoved the posi-
ton he has assumed towards the insui'-
rection in Cuba. showing from the best
obtainable information that has
reached him, that regardless of the
sympathy he may feel personally for
the Insurgents he is absolutely bound
bv the facts as he sees them by pre-
cedent and by the dictates of interna-
tional law to persist in his attitude.
