The Old School,

The editor of the Dansville Breeze GER
tainly belongs to the old school, To his
son, in whose bosom there ragged a burn
ing desire to possess a wheel, the editor
addressed these heartless words: ''Wen.
my son, you'll find one in the front end
of that w1eelbarrow, and there is a big
pile of coal ashes back of the house that
will have TO be moved. The handIebars
are of white ash and are adjustable, so
you can get any style of hump on that
suits your fancy. 1t is regulated largely
by the load you put on. The bigger the
load the more you have to hump yourself
Be careful and don't mar the enamel on
the frame, and keep the ball bearings well
oiled, so they won't cut into the cones.
The tire is absolutely punctureless, SO
you won't have to take a pump and re-
pair kit with you. By the time you have
removed that pile of ashes I think you
will have made a century run, also the
perspiration. You'd better come in to din

The Doctors Are Right,

All the progressive doctors now days
pronounce against the use of alcohol as
n 10 odicine as well as drink. The hu-
man body has no use for rum in any
form or for any rea son. The same with
coffee. Society can afford to hold q
jubilee when we are rid of both of
them. Stimulants are always bad
never good. In place of coffee use
Grain-O, made from pure grains. 1t
looks like coffee-rich. brown and lUS-
cious. No sense of being dosed and
drugged. A hot cup of Grain-O warns,
enlivens, feeds, nourishes; but it doesn't
excite you or set the nerves twanging
Old coffee and tea drinkers will soon
prefer Grain-O for its taste as well as
for it's good effects. Packages 10 or %
cents. Ask your grocer for it.

ands. In 1877 smoke was seen over the
shoal. In 1885 the shoal had become a
volcanic island more than two miles long
and $40 feet high, and a fierce eruption
was taking place within it. In 1886
the island had begun to shrink in dimen-
sions, although the next year its highest
point was 325 feet above sea level. In
1889 its height had diminished on6-half,
and the ocean close around it was more
than a mile deep. In 1892 the island
rose only twenty-five feet above sea level.
According to the latest information, its
complete disappearance, under the action
of the waves, will not be long delayed.

Neander, the great professor and his
torian of the Christian church OF the
Berlin university, was accustomed, when
lecturing, to stand behind a curious, high
desk, with an open framework, and with
holes and pegs for letting it up and
down. His costume was Il very long coat
coming down to the tops of his great
jack-boots, and with a collar which
reached almost as high as his head as he
bent over his desk, and with arms OK
tended forward, twirled in his fingers a
quill pen. If this quill dropped, there
was hiatus in the lecture until some
one would pick it up and place it IL his
hands, and then the wonderful flow Of
learned discourse would proceed. 1t is
said that when Neander went to Berlin
he happened, in going from MS home to
the university for the first time to be
with friend who, for the sake of some
errand, took a most circuitous route:
Neander pursued this roundabout course
for years, and only by accident discov-
cred that there was a shorter way. On
one occasion, being jostled on a crowded
sidewalk, in order to pass by the crowd
he stepped off into the gutter with one
foot, keeping the other foot on the curb
stone. When the crowd was passed, he
continued absentmindedly to walk IN in
this curious fashion, and when he
reached home he complained of being ia
tigued from the disordered condition Of
the streets An acquaintance, who had
followed him, was able to explain his
atigue.-Argonaut
