STATES THAT PRODUCE STONE.
Vermont Leads I'm Marble and Maine
In Granite.


Some facts of an instructive nature re-
lating to the stone industry are fur
nished by Mr.. Day in the annual report
of the United States geographical sur
vey. 1t appears from this that certain
of the southern states are gradually
coming into prominence as extensive
producers of stone, and also that the
sorts of stone quarried have been mod
fled of late years. An instance in point
is to be found in Alabama, which in
1895 furnished more than $3.50, 100000
worth of stone, mostly limestone, al
though some sandstone is worked there.
A similar illustration is presented by
Connecticut, which once divided the
sandstone yield with New Jersey, but
produced last year little more sandstone
than Massachusetts,, while New Jersey
showed only one-third as much as Con-
necticut, and little more than Kansas
or Michigan; and Pennsylvania, I'M
known a few years ago as supplying
sandstone, recorded a product in 1895
equal to Connecticut and New
Jersey combined, and more than
any other state than Ohio. In
granite production Massachusetts keeps
the first place, with Maine not far off,
while Vermont is rapidly overtaking
Maine, and Rhode Island keeps up the
output from its splendid quarries in and
about Westerly to nearly 81 ,ooo, OOOworth
a year. New Hampshire comes fifth on
the list, with about half as much. In
marble, Vermont, as usual, leads all the
other states, its output being about
double that of Georgia, which is second
in amount; Tennessee is third.

HIS GRAVE oFFENSE.

1t is leze majesty in Germany to out.
do thewar lord in anything. That is why
Otto Schoen, young Berlin architect of
high family fed from his native land
lately in fear of the wrath of his en-
peror. says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The facts in this singular case are as
follows:
Schoen was employed to plan and build
a magnificent restaurant and concert
hall near the kaiser's palace at Potsdam.
Without intending disrespect, he drew
plans which provided for building one
story higher than the emperor's. When
the building authorities learned of this,
they stopped the work on Schoen's
building, telling him he was beside him
self with impudence to dream of putting
up structure that should overtop the
palace.
That day, while at dinner in res
taurant, Sehoen aired his injured feel
ings, bluntly declaring the conduct of
the authorities was infamous. The next
day hewas summoned beforet the lieuten-
ant of police of that district, who told
him that his remark in the restaurant
had been overheard and that he stood
guilty of having insulted his emperor,
the penalty for which was imprison-
ment and possibly worse.
Schoen was frightened and asked the
lieutenant what he should do. The lat
ter assured him his safest course would
be to fly to foreign country. So
Schoen, leaving his wife and family,
took ship at Antwerp and sailed for
New York. He believes he would have
been ruined and his property confis-
Gated had he remained in Berlin.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
Decrease in the Number of Fatali-
ties Last Year.

ties Last Year.
The record of railway accidents print
ed every year in the Railroad Gazette
shows a decrease of fatalities in 1896,
and also demonstrates again how safe
a traveller really is on a modern rail-
way train. For instance, 1875 passengers
were killed last year, but the train mile
age was s34,2OO,00O. This means that
on the average passenger can travel
over 100000 miles before being killed
in a railway accident; or, to put it in
another way, he can travel back and
forth between New York and San
Francisco as frequently as the train
will carry him about 30 years before his
fatal accident is due
1t appears from the same authority
that about one-quarter as many per-
sons were killed by street car accidents
last year as by disaster on the steam
roads. There are no data at hand for
comparing the two modes of travel,
but it seems probable that the steam
roads are considerably safer than the
trolley cars if the distance travelled be
taken into account. The figures do not
show how many of those set down as
killed by trolley car accidents were
passengers and how many innocent pc
destrians who failed to get out of the
way in time. 1t hardly seems as if the
latter could be included, for the total
given for three years for the whole
country is only about equal to the list
of those known to have been killed
by the trolley cars in the city of Brook
lyn in that time

Doubly sad because advanced science

specific for all kinds of headache, which
cures in three minutes and leaves no de-
pressing effects. One or two doses will
stop Sick Headache, Neuralgia, Head
aches from Indigestion, Nervousness,
Overwork, Colds, Intemperance, or Rail-
road or Ocean Travel.
In striking contrast to the above sad
case is that of Mrs. r. Hardin, 1859 Ger
mantown Avenue. Philadelphia. Pa, wife
of the Clerk of the Board of Education,
who says: For thirty years / suffered
with sick headache, which appeared in
attacks of severe pain, so intense that 1
was obliged to remain in bed for days
at time. These attacks appeared al
most every week, and at no time did I
ever receive relief. although I consulted
the most skilled physicians in the city.
The headaches seemed to wear them
selves out and then commence anew. At
last I was induced to try Munyon's
Headache Cure. The relief was magical
and almost instantaneous. I followed up
the treatment and was completely cured
for three years have passed and have
had no return of the headaches. / have
recommended Munyon's Remedies to
number of my friends, and I have re-
ceived Q their most sincere thanks for
many wor derful cures that have been ac-
complished by these little pellets"
Professor Munyon has a separate spe.
ciflc for each disease, the only logical
system of medicine.

weight of the Earth.

A scientific man who has given much
study to the question has come to the
conclusion that the weight of the earth,
taking the ton as the unit, is expressed
by a figure six followed by 81 ciphers.
There is no reason TO believe that this
estimate is fairly accurate, and also to
be thankful that in the nature of things
it is impossible to drop the earth on
ones tccs.

The Sensitive cheekbone.

1t is mistake to suppose that the tip
Of the tongue is the most sensitive part
of the body. Those engaged in polish
ing billiard balls or any other substance
that require very high degree of
smoothness invariably use the cheek
bone as their touchstone for detecting
any roughness.

FURNISH COLLAR BUTTONS.
Modern Lnundries Damage the Street
Nendor's Buriness.

Vendors Business.
Modern methods in at least one line
of business have struck blithering
swipe at the sidewalk merchant who pa
tiently stands for hours on downtown
buttons. Nobody ever thinks ofbuying
any buttons from the lucBless man, be-
cause everyone who patronizes laun-
dry gets buttons for nothing, and in
the course of few months lays them
up by the gross, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
Some time ago when shirt came from
the laundry it had beside the grease
from the ironing machine and the ink
from the markers table, two pins thrust
desperately through the stretched linen
holding the bosom and back of the gar
ment in place. There are no more pins
sent home with shirts. Some bright
laundryman started a new era by fur
nishing small metal buttons, which are
slipped into adj the button holes of the
shirt, causing it to hold its shape per-
fectly. The other laundrymen were not
slow to follow, and now half the men
on the street wear these little charity
buttons for shirt studs. They are made
of lead or some similar soft metal and
evidently do not cost much, for shirts
are done up cheaper and done up more,
by the way, than they were when the
humble but serviceable pins were used.
So therefore the patient street sales
man finds n slow market with a down
ward tendency for his collar buttons.

Sears nee Foster.

Mrs. Luther Sears, adopted daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Foster, whose home
is southwest of here two miles, died In New
York City last Saturday p. M, Of diphther-
etic Group, after less than a weeks illness,
aged 25 years.
Belle Foster. as she was familiarly known
through this community as well as In Ovid
and Durand, was an exceptionally excellent
young lady, and only seven short months
ago last Sunday she was married to Luther
Sears, formerly Of Ovid, and the young
couple went Immediately to New York City
where Mr.. Sears had for some time been in
business.
Although she was adopted by the Fosters
when but two years old, she seemed as dear
to them as their own flesh and blood could
be, and as she was their only child, every
care as well as affection was layished upon
her and she was very lovable child. "None
knew her but to love her." She was very
proficient as an elocutionist and had fire.

Mr.. and Mrs. Foster and the young hus-
band are completely overwhelmed with
grief, In fact our entire community, while
they sympathize with them deeply, feel as
though they had suffered common loss.
Her remains were brought home last
Monday and she was buried In the Reed
cemetery, four miles west of here, Wednes-
day D. m, Rev. Coddington officiating. A
large concourse Of people followed her body
