All He Lacked.

All nc AdCkeus
The poet took quire or more
OF paper fresh and white
And sat down at his costly desk,
Where he was wont to write.
He chose with care golden pen
Quite suited to his hand
And picked him out a choice cigar,
One Of the finest brand.
His inkstand had been freshly filled,
And blotters lay around
To dry his ink when with success
His labors had been crowned.
He had license, too, and yet,
In spite of ali his pains,
He failed. He had been fitted out
With everything but brains.

Shading Marble.

A newly discovered process for treat
ing marble or other similar stones in
order to give them any colored. shade,
veins or spots, consists in leaving these
stones in one or more baths composed
of a solution of alcohol and one or more
colors of aniline or other coloring ma
terials. The coloring materials are
fixed by leaving the colored stones in
bath of oil or any other fat sub
stance, or by applying upon the stones
layers of the same stuff. The Absorb
ton of the organic coloring materials
and of the fat substances by the stone
may be accelerated by heating or boil
ing the bath which contains the stuff
to be treated.

SENSORY HALLUCINATIONS.
The Seeing of Ghosts Due to Defective
EycsiEht.

The Seeing OF hosts Due to Defective
Eycsight.
A recent number of the Australian
Medical Gazette contains a brief but
instructive report of the cure Of 4 case
Of hallucinatory disorder. The patient,
a man aged GO years, had suffered for
two years from subjective visual sensG-
tons not day passed that he did not
see large number of spectral human
figures, and believing himself to be
haunted by ghosts he had become very
Respondent and melancholy. On seek
ing medical advice it was found that
he had scnile cataract. When this was
removed by operation the ghosts fed
and the man recovered his usual health.
In this connection we may cite the case
of a tradcsman III Berlin whose shop
was haunted by apparitions resembling
in appearance some Of his deceased GUS
toners. He was an intelligent man,
oware that he suffered from sensory
hallucination, and made notes of his
subjective impressions. In due time he
submitted his eyes to examination and
operation, with the result of n restora-
ton Of normal vision and the immedi-
ate and final disappearance of his in
tangible visitors. The obvious teach
ing OF the foregoing and similar cuses As
that in these modern days the person to
be resorted to for the exorcism of spir-
its and demons is the opthalmic sur
geon.

Origin Of the Word "snob.v

while turning over the leaves of the
eighth volume of the Sporting Maya
zine, published in 1906" says u writer
in Notes and Queries, 81 have come
upon what I think is very early in
stance of the word 'sncb.' The con-
text does not indicate its meaning, but
1 apprehcnd there is no doubt that we
must interpret it by the shoemaker.
The writer is discoursing of races at
Whitechurch. He says that there was
n very respectable field; and although
neither the duke of 'Queensbury, Lord
Egremont nor his royal highness the
prince of Wales were present, it be-
ing holiday time, a number of royal
SnobS were.'"

 Arizona Republican; A Mexican near the NJ. S F. depot is lying at the point of death from fright received few nights ago. He saw a-ghost, or thought he did, which is the same thing. Some of his neighbors saw it., but though they were less nervous than he, they were badly scared and terror was prevalent in the neighbor- hood On Friday night the residents of that community determined to Hay the ghost or move out of the neighborhood The next time it ap- peared they surrounded and captured it. It turned out to be goat, a part of the property of a Mexican circus. The proprietor had tall upright stick to each horn and made the frame work of a sheet which gave the apparition it's ghostly appearance. The sick Mexican knows this, but his ailment has passed from the mental to the physical stage and doctors are doubtful Of his result.
 Stockman: W T. Blythe, weather observer at Phoenix, sent to Wash ington some specimens of seeds, cloth and cord taken from the mummy found among the cliff dwellings Of Arizona, in hopes that the nature of the plants to which these objects be- longed might result by way of in- formation relative to the climate at the time these plants were living. lt was ascertained by microscopic ex- animation that the cloth was made of cotton, but the cord accompanying it was made of fabric that is not pres ent recognizable. The seeds appear ed to be one of those of an Aramantus, several species of which are still m use for food by various people, in- cludng the Indians of the United States. An effort was made to raise some plants from these seeds, but they failed to germinate. The gen. eral outcome of this study is simply to show that there is no evidence of any material change in the climate of Arizona since the days of the cliff dwellers.

VIII be as much interested in
this question as yourself, as 1t bears
upon subject in which the entire
people are interested and that is
which is the best route to Washing
ton, the Capital of the United
States? We claim the distinction
for the Buckeye Route, as being
the best, because in connection
with the B. & o. r. r. via Athens,
1t forms the shortest and most di-
rect line from Northern and Gen.
tral Ohio points. In connection
with the B. & O. r. r., through ves-
tibuled Pullman Sleeping and
Drawing room cars of the most APP
proved pattern are run every day
in the year, leaving Toledo at 4:55
P. NJ, reaching Washington next
day noon and Baltimore :35 p. M.
This route takes you via the His
toric Potomac, Harpers Ferry and
the Blue Ridge Mountains. Solid
trains are run from Toledo to Ath-
ems, connecting with the Royal
Blue Line through TO New York
via Washington, Baltimore and
Philadelphia, carrying elegant day
coaches and superb vestibuled
sleeping cars through without
change. Please keep this fact in
mind when you have occasion to
go east and see that your tickets
read via the Buckeye Route and
the Royal Blue Line. Agents of
the G. Ii. V. & 7. Ry. will secure
you sleeping car berths, your bag

had settled forever the old issues
Of slavery, and in the eleven yea RS
which had since elapsed new econ
omic questions had arisen. On
these the Democratic party took
its stand, aud in 1876 declared for
universal amnesty and against ne
gro suffrage, against protective
tariff, and for The payment of the
national debt In legal-tender paper
(greenbacks), except when express
ly made payable in coin. In 1876
it nominated Samuel j. Tilden and
7. A. Hendricks, obtained II ma
jority of the popular vote, a major
ity of the members of Congress
(42 out Of 76 in the Senate; 149 out
Of 293 in the House), and claimed
to have elected Tilden. This the
Electoral Commission decided
against the Democrats.
In 1880 the party convention
(held at Cincinnati June 22d)
placed Winfield Scott Hancock
and w. II. English in nomination
on platform whose brevity and
tameness mark a transition from
old issues to new. At the election,
4,447,8SS Democratic votes were
cast, and nineteen States, with 1856
electoral votes, were carried, The
Republicans secured 2l4 electoral
votes. The long and specific plat
form Of 1884 set forth the new
issues very clearly. They were:
Economy; lower taxes; tariff re-
form; honest money, "and cur
rency convertible into such money
without loss"; civil.service reform;
no more land grants to corpora
.ions; an "American policy; and
the "revival OF American ship
ping" The candidates were Gro
yer Cleveland and Thomas A.
Hendricks, who were elected by q
plurality of 62,6s3 votes.
Four years later, June 5, 1888,
Cleveland was again nominated.
Hendricks was then dead, and AL
len G.. Thurman was nominated for
second place by the convention
sitting at st. Louis. The platform
was resume OF what the party
had done since 1884, and made few
pledges for the future. This time
the Republicans won, though the
Democratic plurality was 100,476.
When the national convention
met again Cat Chicago, June 81,
1922, the great issues before the
were the tariff, the silver
legislation of 1890, reciprocity and
trusts. The platform of that year,
therefore calls for tariff for re-
venue only; a repeal Of the Nc
Ainley Act and OF the Sherman
Act; more legislation against trusts;
'epeal of the ten-per.cent tax on
State bank issues; the improve
nent Of waterways; and the pro-
ection OF railway employees.
Again the candidate was Grover
Cleveland, with whom was now
associated Adlai E. Stevenson, and
gain the Democrats won, with
plurality OF 3s2, 956. or 444 elect.
'ral votes, Cleveland received 277,
harrison 145, Weaver %.
