!SELF-CONTR OIL.

In some people passion and emotion
are never checked, are allowed to break
out in a blaze whenever they come.
Others suppress them by main force,
and preserve calious eXteri or when
there are fires raging within. Others
are never excited over anything. Some
Govern themselves ON some subjects
but not on others. Very much can be
done to give the will control over the
feeling. The man who governs his
own spirit is greater than he who
rules the world. One of the best
means OF culture is the persistent
withdrawing Of the mind from the
subjects which produce the emo>iOn.
The man or woman who persisted atty
permits the mind to dwell GA disa rec
able themes only spites him orherSelf,
and sooner or later it will leave Il
disagreeable impress upon the coun-
reuance. The value OF self-controi as
il hygieuic agent is very great. 1t
prevents great waste of vitality in
Keeling, emotion and passion. 1t
helps 10 give one Il mastery over pain
and distress rather than it does a
mastery over us.

The Potato In France.

In France we find that the potato
was placed on the royal table in the
year 1915, but it was Parmentier, an
apothecary, who really introduced it and
did all he could to get it generally cul-
tivated, though not without the assist
ance Of the government. In 1771 high
prize was offered by the Academy of
Besancon for the discovery of new
food which would fill the place Of ce-
reals in case Of famine. Parmentier
showed his potatoes, and Louis XVI gave
him 30 morgen of land to plant them
on. When showing the first flowers Of
his potatoes, the king used them as a
buttonhole bouquet, Queen Marie An
toinette had them in the evening in her
hair, and at once princes, dukes and
high functionaries went to Parmentier
to obtain such flowers.
All Paris talked Of nothing but pota-
toes and the cultivator Of them. The
king said, France will thank you some
time hence because you have found
bread for the poor" And France has
not forgotten Parmentier, for saw my
self in 1889 potatoes growing on his
grave in the grand cemetery Of Paris,
the Pere la Chaise, and / was assured
that they were planted there every year,
SO that his services might never be for
gotten by Frenchmen. journal Royal

Dreadful
Malaria.

There are numerous diseases having
their origin in the blood, but which on
the surface do not appear to be blood
disease. Such is Malaria, which is a
poison breathed into the lungs, and thus
taken into the blood and circulated, Inn
buing the entire system with its morbid
effects. Those who have suffered from
this dreaded disease know what life
less condition ensues and how the vitality
is wasted away so that death Is often
caused by some simple malady, because
of the low ebb to which life is reduced
by this poverty of blood. This condi-
ton of the blood often gives rise to
boils, carbunc1es, abscesses and ulcers,
and not infrequent1y causes catarrh,
bronchitis, and even consumption.
Captain Henry Bond, late of the q. s.
Navy, has been sea-faring man all his
life, and has been in all parts of the
world, having sailed twice around the
Cape of Good Hope, once around Cape
Horn and three times through the Suez
Canal. Captain Bond resides at the Ma
tional Military Home, Dayton, Ohio, and
in recent letter says: "For thirty-two
years have been sufferer from ma

bic disease is. 1 have tried remedies In

Farmers, You want This.

"The Ohio Farm Laws and Legal
Forms" is book that every farmer
should have.
The following are some OF its inn
portant chapters: Animals, chattel
mortgages, contracts, descent and dis
tribution of property, dover, drain
age laws, fence laws, game laws, grist
mills, grain warehouses, husband and
other exemptions, landlord and
tenant, mechanics lein, offenses
against property, principal and sure
ty, trespass, wills, work and labor,
compulsory education OF children,
and the last chapter contains all kind
of legal forms, contracts, notes, guar
antees, Endorsements, etc.
The book is not one of mere COM
ments and suggestions, but it contains
the law as it stands on the statutes of
Ohio today. All the repeals are
stricken out and all the amendments
added. Supreme court decisions are
given freely, thus giving every man
who possesses this valuable book the
opportunity of knowing what the law
is, and what his rights are under the
law. The chapter on Landlord and
a AOhohp 10 WOAUh 11u W oil lubu LII
is correct, and gives the laws so plain
that it can not be misunderstood. All
the other chapters are equally valua-
BILE.
The book contains 234 pages, is
printed in large, easy-reading type,
and is substantially bound in cloth.
1t sells for $1.00 wherever offered.
But publishers of the NORTHWEST
seeing what an invaluable book it
would be for farmers in Henry county,
have bought a large quantity Of the
books, and are offering them as fol-
lows: For $1.25, when the subscrip-
tion is paid in advance, we give this
elegant book and one years subscrip-
tion to the NORTHWEST. The book
cannot be bought anywhere else in
Henry county. See full particulars

THE SERPENT VINE.
BY BRIAN E. BARR.

We had pushed our way far into
the bounds of the Great Dismal
Swamp-far beyond the danger line
that Solomon, our Indian guide had
pointed out. In vain Solomon en-
treated US to turn back. We found
game abundant, and with the reckless
folly of youth, I permitted my dark
faced cousin Paul to lead me on and
on.

omon could be induced to proceed no

vine is a myth.
But what is it said to be?'
"A vine that grows in the depth OF

flesh and blood; but who believes the
tale? Who has seen the serpent vlne?'

AS against the talk of the protec-
tionists In congress and out, that the
Wilson tariff has damaged the WOOL
en- industry, comes the fact that dur
ing the first year of the Wilson bill
there were constructed in the Uuited
States 81 wooden mills against As the
last year of the Mckinley tariff. Dur
ing the last year the 357 textile mills
were built, against 263 the last Nc
Klnley year. Mr.. John R. Kendrick,
Philadelphia carpet manufacturer,
is strongly against the Dingley bill,
and in an interview IN the Washing
ton Post, says:
We make now under free woods
some 100000 worth of carpets a
year, and import but $l,0O0,OO0
worth. Does such an industry need
"compensatlng duties?" Gould q

We are leading the world in car
pets, and produce every fabric fit to
be walked on, saving only the hand

The Dingley bill as to carpets can
only result in much higher prices to
American consumers, and this will
follow, the moment this bill becomes

THREE INDICTMENTS
AGAINST EX-SENATOR L. C.
OIL.
John L. oeyer and William Geal
also Indicted.

The following dispatch from Co..
umbus relative to the Franklin coun'
ty grand jury and its work speak fol
itself. Ex-senator Obi is the Re-
publican member that Ex-Governor
Campbell lampooned in his speachei
last fall and he has made his word
good in exposing him:
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. The
Franklin county grand jury has re.

members of the legislature for bribery
and soliciting brlbes, They are ex-
Senator ]. L. Geyer of Paulding
county, ex. Senator William Gear OF
Wyandot and ex-senator L. G. Oh
of Mahouing.
Mr.. Geyer is charged with solicit
ing bribe OF $500 from William F.
Burdell of this city for his influence
in the senate in 1893 toward passing
bill in the interest OF the Ohio Saw
lngs and Trust company. The bill
passed in the senate but was reconsid
cred. Mr.. Burdell refused to be beld
and the bill was.never heard Of again.

IT is something strange. New
Year 8 is great day for beginning;
but, says an exchange, did you ever
meet person born on New Year's2
Did you ever meet person who
knew Of that was? 1t would be a
task to go over the encyclopedia of
American biography and note the
birthdays of all the worthless mention.
ed in that, and if it was done it would
probably show that not one OF them
was born on New Years. An exami-
nation of large number of the en-
tries revealed a single entrance Of
birth on January 2, and there were
many instances of births in that
month, but the births on the first day
are as rare as the righteous. 1t is
odd that while people come into the
world at the rate of one every tick OF
the clock, or something like that, as
the learned say, a body may knock
around the world for three score and
ten and never find man, woman or
child who was born on New Years.
He may find those born on other
holidays, and hear of death on New
Years, because death is no respector
of days. Why births should be so few
on New Years is a curious problem,
and worth looking into. 1t must be
that people are born on that day, but
it is certain that the number of them
is comparatively notably small. What
do our readers and correspondents
say to this2
