Mr.. Kreuper's Marrow

Paul Kreuper, Of Soui Ind,
retiring township trustee, upon casting
up his accounts found himself IS, 1000
short, and. without waiting for a re-
examination, and nearly crazy with ex-
element. he notified some of his bonds
men, and there was the mischief to
pay. The deputy county auditor found
Kreuper toying with a revolver and
well nigh distracted, and the deputy
sent him home and called in an expert.
A re-examination demonstrated that
not only was there no shortage. but that
a balance was due to Mr.. Kreuper.

For Summer Wear.

Some ginghams and CLEANLINESS that
are much admired have wide pink
and white stripes figured in MORE effect,
says the San Francisco Call Of course
all colors are obtainable and make up
charmingly. In all the linen shades are
shown the Egyptian and the Lappett
tissues, as well as in every tint and color.
These must all be made over solid colors,
presumably over silk slips, although one
writer says on this subject "The silk
underdresses, however, are no longer
considered indispensable, and the colored
lawns which are used instead do not
cost nearly So much" Still, we advise
you all to keep to using silk if you wish
such lrocks to be success, for the saw
ing OF few dollars will cause you more
annoyance than enough if you have the
usual experience with lawns.
Etamine in grenadine effects is in great
vogue, and you can have it in plaids,
stripes, checks and in linen tints with
siken embroidery.
Those in mourning are welcoming,
with feeling of relief the very hand

best taffeta silk for summer wear. They
are delightfully."- cool and comfortable.
So great is the beauty OF the new bro
caded silks that both the young and the
old will order them in large quantities
for evening gowns, and the colored eta.
mines are simply bewitching on account
of their possibilities of combinations, es-
pecially when ribbons and oriental EN-.
broideries are artistically employed.

Information About Greece.
has a population of 2,1S7, POS.

1t has a population of 2, 1S7,20S.
1t is called "Hellas" by it's people.
The mean temperature Of Greece is Ga
degrees Fahrenheit.
No part of Greece is 40 miles from the
sea or 10 miles from the hills.
About one-haIf of the population are
agriculturists and shepherds.
1t has an area of 24,977 square miles.
1t is the only country in the world
whose armies are provided with the
Gras guns and paper-covered cartridges.
The Greek flag is a white cross on
blue ground the Bavarian colors and
the Greek cross.
Greece is more thickly populated than
any other country in Europe, with the
exception of Sweden aud Prussia.
1t has few rivers and many hills. None
of the former are navigable, and many OF
the latter are fortified.
Its present boundary limits were deter
mined by an arrangement among Great
Britain, France, Russia and Turkey, con-
cluded at Constantinope on July 21,
1882.
Only about 10000 of the inhabitants
speak any language other than Greek,
and only about 10000 profess any
religion other than the orthodox.
The chief characteristics of the average
Greek are his inquisitiveness, fondness
for excitement love of discussion, desire
for knowledge, an aptitude for learning,
and aggressive patriotism.
The climate has two striking peculiari.
tics-the heat in summer and the cold in
winter are far more intense than those
of any other country in the world lying
in the same latitude. Cell once remarked
that in travelling through Morea in
March he found Summer in Messina,
spring in Lacona, and winterin Arcadia,
without having moved beyond a radius
of so miles.

A Bellows Falls young mas was just
pressing the lips Of his lady love in
sweet adieu last Sunday night just after
they had returned from delightful drive.
While both his hands were in use, the

The state fouse is to be wired for cleo

I. c. Phinney, custodian of the building,
has for some time been in correspondence
with the state officials and heads of de-
partments and all OF them approve Of the
plan. 1t would have been done years
ago, but it requires reserve of at least
40-horse power to be used only a short
time once in two years and it would not
pay any company to put in reserve steam
power for that purpose. Mr.. Phinney
will soon advertise for bids on wiring the
building for from $50 to 400 incandescent
lamps which will be required.
Hetty Green, who is called the richest
woman in America, will pass the summer

A Terrible Calamity.

A fire broke out at A O'Clock on the
afternoon of May 4 in crowded charita-
Bile institution in Rue Jean-Goujon, Paris,
az which the Duchess Dues and other
well.known patronesses were present.
Many people were burned to death and
there was a panic, during which large
number were injured.
The bazaar where the fire broke out was
temporary structure OF wood. The
flames were first discovered above the
stall occupied by the Duchess Dues, and
the place was densely crowded with we'll
known society people, the holding OF the
bazaar in the cause OF charity being an
annual function presided over by the
leaders of Partisan society.
A terrible panic and crush followed the
alarm of fire. There was wild rush for
the exits and the weaker persons were
trampled upon after having been
knocked down in the stampede. The in
fammable nature of the building and its
contents caused the flames to spread
with great rapidity and in very short
time the bazaar was a mass OF flames.
The missing who are said to be dead
include Gen. Meunir, the Marchoness
De Galifet, the Duchess D'Allencon, the
Countesses De Nun and St. Perier, the
Marchoness De Flores, the Viscountess
Hunol Holstein, Baroness Mackan, wife
of the leader of the pro Rallists in the
Chamber of Deputies, and Madame
Morlaunelamon, her son and four daugh-
tiers. One hundred corpses have now
been laid out in the Palais D'L 'Industrie.
1t is believed that another hundred are
beneath the ruins.

siest manner, the nudity of the scaffold.

The bazaar was in full swing when, sud-
denly, about 4 o'clock, the cry of fire
arose in the quarter where the kinemato-
graph was being exhibited.

at is necessary that there must first be
the hidden source Of faith. Faith is the
simplest and most universal experience
in the world. Call it by whatever name
you may, confidence, trust, or belief, 1t is
inseparable from the human race. The
first sign of a dawning intelligence in the
mind is the exercise of the infants faith
toward those it knows, and its tear
toward those it does not know. We
cannot even remember when we first
began to have faith.
Faith is the foundation of business. 1t
is an essential asset to every bank and
mercantile house in existence. Many
thriving business and successful enter
prise has been carried through dark days
OF reverse on no other capital; and
without such capital the markets OF the
world would soon come to stand-still.
have known men whose ruin has been
brought about by some little insinuation
relative to their credit - the business
equivalent for trust worthiness. The loss
OF public faith has brought the darkest
reverses to the richest of corporations,
and even nations have felt the ruin which
it entails.
Faith is the bond which holds family
with family. If once the bond is dis
solved there would exist state of bar
barism and anarchy like that which
marked the close Of the eighteenth cent
ury in Paris. With every one distress
ing his neighbor and fearing his nearest
friends, progress is impossible, civiliza.

Household Hints.

Gasoline will remove spots from the
most delicate fabrics and leave no trace
behind of its use. 1t will also renovate
feathers and clean the painest or the
richest lace. The lace is plunged into
small pan ofgasoline just as one would
wash it in water. Gasoline, however,
dries almost instantly. 1t is also fine
thing to use in removing spots from
wooden clothing of all descriptions, and
from the backs of schoolgirls waists
who wear their hair braided down their
backs. Keep far away from the fire
when using this liquid.
A stocking darner is among the recent
inventions for which busy mothers will
thank the inventor. The stocking is
placed between two pieces of metal, the
darning thread placed around tiny pins
at either end of the instrument, and bv
placing the thumb on one side of the
article, row of thread is raised, and by
pressing upon the other side, the alter
nate threads are raised. The needle is
easily run under the raised alternate
threads, caught to the stocking at either
side and the darn is complete, with very
little expenditure of time or thought. 1t
is impossible to make an untidy darn
when using this little instrument.
Here is a little wet weather wisdom.
Do you know that umbrellas will last
longer if when wet they are placed
handle downward to dry, as the mois-
ture falls from the edges of the frame and
the fabric dries uniformly. With the
handle up the top of the umbrella holds
the moisture, owing to the lining under
meath the ring, and therefore takes a
longer time to dry, thus injurng the silk
or other fabric with which it is covered.

The editor of the New York Chris
tian Advocate learned not long since
from coachman that horses are not
unlike human beings. He writes:
Riding in friends carriage one day,
we noticed that the coachman made con-
slant efforts to restrain one of the
horses and to hasten the other. AS the
pair were handsome and perfectly
mated, we said what is the difference
between these horses, that you are con-
stantly touching up one and holding in
the other?''
Said he: 1.-THE one that I whip can
not possibly overwork himself. will
not say that he is lazy, but he is SO
made that he never can and never will
do himself any damage. 1t would be
impossible to whip him so hard that he
would hurt himself. The other can trot
mile in less than 2:25, and he would
trot from the love Of it until he drop
ped dead Hot or cold he does his best. :"

1t is not useful work, remarks the
Medical Record, but anxiety which kills
men. Overwork of the stomach liver or
kidneys is vastly more dangerous to
man than overwork Of the brain or
muscles, since so long as the stomach is
intact, overworked muscles may be easily
repaired; and so long as the liver and
kidneys retain their integrity, the effects
of excessive brain work are easily
removed by the elimination Of the result
ing poisons from the body Many die
from overwork, but it is overwork at the
dinner table rather than in the field,
workshop or counting room.

"Going into decline.' How often do
we hear this expression. What does it
mean? 1t means that people are losing
flesh, growing thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition is to
improve the digestion. The condition
arises from an inability to eat and digest
food. In fact food does more harm than
good because it lerments and putreies in
the stomach, developing poisonous SUBJ
stances which when absorbed cause
various disorders.
What is required is that the stomach
be made to perform its duties. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a food
already digested and digester Of foods
as well. 1t will make the stomach
healthy. Get book from the druggist
and read about it.

Nuts and Fruits for Brain Workers.

Blanched almonds give the higher nerve
or brain and muscle food; no heat or
waste. Walnuts give nerve or brain food,
muscle, heat and waste. Pine kernels
give heat and stay. They serve as a sub
stitute for bread. Green water grapes
are blood purifying (but of little food
value); reject pips and skins. Blue grapes
are feeding and blood purifying; too
rich for those who suffer from the liver.
Tomatoes higher nerve or brain food
and waste; no heat; they are thinning
and stimulating; do not swallow skins.
Juicy fruits give more or less the higher
nerve or BRAIN and some few muscle food
and waste; no heat. Apples supply the
higher nerve and muscle food, but do not
give stay. Prunes afford the highest
nerve or brain food; supply heat and
waste, but are not muscle-teeding. They
should be avoided by those who suffer
from the liver. Oranges are refreshing
and feeding, but are not good if the liver
is out OF order. Green figs are excellent
food. Dried figs contain nerve and muscle
food, heat and waste, but are bad for
the liver. The great majority of small
fresh seed fruits are laxative. All stone
fruits are considered to be injurious to
those who suffer from the liver, and
should be used cautiously. Lemons and
tomatoes should not be used daily in
cold weather; they have thinning and
cooling effect. Raisins are stimulating in
proportion to their quality. - Good
