Teacher-Suppose. Fritz, you have a
stocking on one foot, and you put an
other stocking on the other foot, how
many would you have on both feet?
BOy-I never wear no stockings.
Teacher-Suppose your father has one
pig In pen, and he buys another pig,
and puts II in the pen, how many pigs
will there be In the pen?
Boy-Dad don't keep no pigs.
The teacher blew heavy sigh from
his tired lips, wiped the perspiration
from his scholastic brow, and went at
1t again with renewed courage:
Suppose you had one Jacket, and at
Christmas your father makes you n
present OF another jacket, how many
jackets would you have them"
Boyle amt that kind Of father.
He never gives nothin' at Christmas.
Teacher-Suppose you have one ap-
pie and your mother gives you another
one. what will you have then?
Boy-Stomachache. Our apples are
all cooking apples.
The teacher then began to suspect the
boy was not well up in arithmetic, but
he resolved to make one more effort, so
he said:
IF a poor little beggar boy has n
cake. and you give him one more, how
many would he have them"
Boy-I dunno. always eat my own
cakes.
Then the teacher told the children to
60 out and play.

Charleston Gazette: A Cincinnati pa
per yesterday stated that that city was
captured by West Virginians Saturday
who took advantage of the cheap excur-
sion rates over the Chesapeake & Ohio
and Baltimore & Ohio railroads to go
TO the Queen City to do their shopping,
Commenting on this, the paper remarks
that the crowds spent thousands Of dol
lars with Cincinnati merchants. This
is probably true. In certain sections OF
West Virginia there seems to be great
fondness for going away from home to
spend money. The practice may be the
result OF constitutional weakness, or
1t may be caused by habit. 1t is GER
tain that II exists and so far no REM
edy has been found for IT, The folly OF
people who have money to spend going
away from home to spend II, putting II
into circulation where the chance Of
getting any portion OF 1t back again
Is very remote seems so apparent that
the direction Of attention to II appears
superhuous. How much OF the thou
sands OF dollars which our contempor-
airy says was spent In Cincinnati Sat-
urday will ever again help TO make
times good by circulating in Wheeling.

Much Interest Is being excited, and no
little anxiety is entertained by the re-
ported appearance OF anthrax In Penn
sylvsnla, and owners OF live stock every
where are hoping that It may turn out
that the disease reported TO be anthrax
may be something else, Anthrax is
very common in oriental countries, but
has never gained foothold in America,
although 1t may be easily conveyed II
any climate. In the orient It chiefly at
tacks cattle. sheep and goats, and occa-
slonally horses, and is almost invariably
fatal.
1t must not be supposed that man Is
exempt from the attack Of the dread dis
ease, as he can easily become inoculated
with the germs by handling the dumb
animals afflicted with 1t, or the hides of
such animals. especially should there be
abraslons OF the skin on the hands, For
this reason, and In view of the fact that
the cases In Pennsylvania may prove to
be genuine anthrax, scientific men are
warning persons handling hides, or car
Ing for animals supposed to be AFFLICTED,
to use the utmost care. In repeating this
warning and describing the disease. the
New York Herald speaks Of Its effect on
man and the dangers in handling the
skins OF animals dying of the plague as
follows:
From the pecullaritles OF Its manifesto
ton In the human subject II Is varlously
designated az malignant pustuls. conta-
glous carbuncle. wool Borters' and hair
combers' disease, and in cattle as splenlc
fever.
The incubation In man is generally by
means OF some ahraslons on the hands or
other exposed parts OF the body, and Is
rapidly followed by virulent form OF To-
cal Inflammation, attended with slough
ing and speedy poisoning, In wool sort
ers' disease the throat and windpipe are
directly invaded by the inhalation Of the
dust OF infected wool or hair and become
intensely infamed, poisoning all the sur
rounding tissues and ending life by most
distressing symptoms
The general symptoms OF the disease
point to great prostration from tho start,
and end In a day or two by death from
exhaustion. Probably one reason why the
hide, wool and hair are the common car
riers OF the germ is the fact that these
are the only parts OF the dead animal that
can be sent 10 market All suspected hides
should be inspected at once and coma
demned.
There should be no room for doubt on
this point.
1t is hoped that this country will be
spared an epidemic of anthrax, but until
the facts are known concerning the sup
posed cases in Pennsylvania, 1t will be
well to exercise care, and the knowledge
that humans are subject to the disease
should be impressed on all who come in
contact with farm animals.

featuring them, for the sake OF the rev
dollars he receives from the sensational

the honest newspaper men of the state.

The defeat OF propositions in many
states for constitutional conventions
indicates an abiding hostility among
the people to any tampering with the
foundations OF government. 1t springs
from conservatism, from reverence for
the past, which may not be altogether
wise, but 1t exists and is difficult to re-
move. 1t Is doubtful II any proposed
amendment to the constitution OF the
United States will be accomplished
within the next half century.-Clncin-

The sllverites are not dismayed by the
rise OF wheat coincident with the fall of
silver. True, their favorlte dogma, that
wheat and silver rise and fall together,
has been cruelty discredlted; but they
do not mind that. Governor Altgeld
consoles himself by declaring that, al
though wheat sells at 81 per bushel in
gold II would sell at $3.50 per bushel in
silver, and therefore the farmer under
the gold standard is robbed Of 30 cents
a bushel. Governor Tillman maintains
that the rise in wheat is only temporary.
and that it will go down along with
other things, until silver Is remonetized.
Senator Jones thinks that the rise in
wheat and the fail in silver equally DEM
onstrate the correctness Of the Chicago
platform. and Senator White says that
"wheat Is high. Notwithstanding the
discrimination in favor Of gold. 1t
would be higher in the absence of gold
appreciation" All this shows rank In
gratitude for an unexpected blessing
and grecdlness surprising that of the
most avariclous goldbug.-New York

AS the sllverites are all declaring
with uncommon accord that there is
nothing remarkable about the rise in
wheat, as 1t varies according to the
law OF supply and demand, 1t would
seem they have learned one economic
fact and learned It well. Fortunately
they can learn by experience without
making the country pay for the teach
ing, as 1t would have been compelled to
do-and dearly, too-had Bryan's soph
istries carried the day.-Phlladelphia

But Solita so bent her head that her
hair fell ever across the pages and him
dered her from reading, and each time
she put it roughly back from her fore
head with some small word Of anger,
as though she was veXed.
What ails you, child?' asked the
Princess.
1t is my hair" replied Solita. But
the Princess paid no heed. She heard
little. indeed, even of what was read,
bur sat by the window gazing out across
the graz hungry sea, and betlfnking
her of the Sieur Rudel and his gallant
men. And again Solita let her hair fall
upon the scroll, and again she tossed
it back. saying, 'Fie! Fie.'
What ails you, child?' the Prin-
cess asked.
1t is my hair" she replied, and Joce-
liande, smiling heedlessly, babe her
read on. So she read until Joceliande
bade her stop and called to her, and
Solta came over to the window and
knelt by the side OF the Princess, so
that her hair fell across the wrist Of
Jocellande and fetterod it. 1t is ever
