tertained their friends with delightful
card party Wednesday evening, at their
suburban home.
Whist is the most popular card game
with the fashionable set, and has almost
crowded out euchre, yet pedro still has
its devotees. 1t is not difficult to I'M
derstand the preference for whist. 1t
has been defined as an "intellectual'
game. 1t numbers it's admirers in
Wheeling society by the hundreds, and
many are very proficient. The conflict
of authority in regard to whist has been
productive of great deal Of discussion
and has served to intensity the interest
in the game, inasmuch as nearly every
player had "read up with view to
fortifying himself with arguments for
the system which he follows. In addi-
ton to the whist club project, of which
mention is made elsewhere, there is
talk of the organization of club to be
composed exclusively Of those who play
the so-called scientific" game.

Wheeling has been favored of late
with several productions by home tai
ent, and now that the play at the
Carroll Club, one act farce, and the
beautiful spectacle of Tennyson's
Dream of Fair Women" has come
and gone, it is surprising to hear the
large number of critics who have ex-
pressed themselves favorably, and in
most cases in all candor praising the
production as equal to like perform
ances by the professional stage fol-
lowers witnessed in eastern cities.
The opening mirth provoking presen-
tation was gone through with a vim

Our rs are just as strong as
they were fifty years ago, when
we have cause to use them.
But we have less and less cause
to praise ourselves, since others
do the praising. and we are
more than willing for you to see
us through other eyes. This
is how we look to S. F. Boyce,
wholesale and retail druggist,
Duluth, MINI, who after a
quarter of q century of obser-
walton writes:
''I have sold Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla for more than IS years,
both at wholesale and retail,
and have never heard anything
but words of praise from my
customers; not a single COM
plant has ever reached me. I
believe Ayers Sarsaparilla to
be the best blood purifier, that
has been introduced to the gen.
eral public" This, from a
man who has sold thousands of
dozens of Ayers Sarsaparilla,
is strong testimony. But it
only echoes popular sentiment
the world over, which has,
"Nothing but words of praise
for Ayers Sarsaparilla."

gives promise of much enjoy
- during the winter season. The
smaller organizations have started
their weekly or fortnightly meetings,
and the members are already manifest
ing great interest in whist and euchre,
which will be the principal diversions
at the informal gatherings in which
the guests are limited to persons Of
one sex. The old clubs have reorgan-
lied almost without exception, and
their number has already been aug
mented, with promise of still further
accessions' before the season is many
weeks old. Charity whist is an inno-
walton which promises to become very
popular, and there is talk of the for
nation of duplicate whist club. So
ciety is always looking for a new
method of entertainment, and in line
with this disposition is the growing
fondness for bowling. The larger clubs
have not outlined their winter pro-
grammes as yet, but Opening" balls
will be numerous before the close of
the present month. There v ere a
number Of pretty weddings during the
past six days, and more are promised
in the very near future.

Coal Ashes Tor Wet Lands.

Some years ago we hauled a number
OF loads OF coal ashes and scattered
them thickly on low wet piece OF
land. The following winter the bottom
was plOwed for corn, the ashes turned
under. and the result was that where
the ashes were put there was a marked
difference in the yield. The following
year the same field was put in corn
again. and as the ashes had brought
such wonderful results we covered an
other plat before blowing. and the
same marked difference the following
year in the increase was noted on both
plats that were covered with ashes.
The most wonderful part of the fer
tility of coal ashes Is yet to come. Al
ter the second crop the bottom was
sown to wheat and grass. and while
will not say that any difference could
be noted on either wheat or grass,
will say that after the land had re-
manned in grass for three years it was
again plowed and put in corn, and the
very spots that had been covered with
the ashes could be noticed in the yield.
This goes to show that they are bene-
fetal for years. as they had now been
in the ground four and five years res
pectively.
Before the ashes were applied the
ground was heavy and soggy, but the
following summer in tending the crop
marked difference was noted In the
condition of the ground. There is no
doubt whatever in this latitude, South
ern Ohio, but coal ashes are beneficial
on wet or clayey land. AS one farmer
puts the situation, while there may not
be much substance or fertilizing prop
critics in them they are an excellent
neutralizer. and adds that he has used
them to marked advantage where
ground is heavy, as they have a ten
dency to loosen it.

A calculating barber has been figuring
upon the energy used in pushing q b.
cycle. especially upon that used by q
woman in making a century run. II
have done little figuring on the SUBJ
ject," he remarked, land the result Is
most surprising. luke a woman who
weighs 100 pounds and who rides wheel
weighing 20 pounds. In riding 100 miles
l have calculated that a power Of more
than 3,000.gD0 pounds of energy, or about
100 horsepower. has been brought into
play. And to think that all this has been
expended in riding bicycle. Had the
woman directed this energy In running q
sewing machine. where force of two
pounds will run needle over piece Of
cloth for distance of a foot, she could
have hemmed piece OF muslin about l.
100000 feet. or nearly 800 miles long. The
same amount of energy used to pTOpel
baby carriage weighing ten pounds. con-
tanning baby weighing II pounds more,
would send the youngster 500 miles. The
same amount of energy expended Va
churning would produce 50 tons of butter,
or would push carpet sweeper over an
area of $4,000 square feet. The woman
could also have ironed without any more
fatigue, a strip of muslin one foot wide
and 30 miles long. And II she had been
shopping, just think OF all the bargain
counters she could have walked around
tell you, it's astonishing.

About an hour behind them came the

Marston road, was made known by
their bugles. and the march was indeed
inspiring. A large party from here

A Yankee In The South.

One of PortSand's retired merchants,
who has passed long and vigorous
life, in his younger days was not much
of tender foot" About so years ago
he was at Memphis, Tenn, on a bust
ness trip with companion. In the
middle of the night they were both
awakened by the advent of the sheriff
who presented warrant for their ar
rest for debt. It seems that they owed
the landlord about $50 each for board
for themselves and horse, which they
had in the landlords stable at the time.
This was too much like an attempt to
blackmail our friend and he resented
1t. for the landlord had never presented
his bill. They had plenty of money
and could pay at any time. and so as
sured the sheriff. He said he didn't
care il they had. 1t was to pay the bill
and costs (Which latter they declined
doing.) go to Jail or give bonds.
It looked stormy for the Portland
man until a stranger who had heard
the controversy offered security which
was accepted by the sheriff.
No sooner was our Maine citizen at
liberty than he walked down into the
Office where the landlord still waited.
and demanded of him an explanation.
He got no satisfaction, but plenty of
insults, just such as the fire eaters
of that day were accustomed to throw
at the despised Yankees. Finally the
landlord put his hand in his hip pocket
apparently to draw his pistol.
This was too much for our down
East" friend who put his hand in his
pocket to draw forth ten dollar bill.
Throwing this on the counter he yelled
out: I'll give you ten dollars II you
dare to go out doors and fire at the
empty air. you dirty coward" And
the landlord went into his boots
The cause Of the trouble was that our
friend had protected verdant stranger
from the impositions Of the landlord
the day before. and this arrest was
to pay on the grudge.
In the morning the defendant went
before the court and plead his own
case without a lawyer. the result being
that the plaintiff had to lose all the
costs and in place thereof got severe
lecture from the judge.-Portland

Same Old Fight, Same Old Song.

The Evening Mail publishes the follow
ing, which will be of interest to journal
readers:
The effort which failed last winter to
get the ponds of the Massachusetts system
closed to ice fishing, is to be renewed.
petition drawn up by Attorney General
Haines has been set in circulation for
signatures, praying the fish and game
to do last winter The petition reads
as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned. citizens of Ken
nebec and Somerset counties, respectfully
petition your HONORABLE body that fishing
through the ice may be forever prohibited
in the waters of East, North. McGraw.
Ellis. Great. Long and Snow ponds; said
ponds situated in Somerset and Kennebec
counties; and in all tributaries or streams
hoWing into or out of said ponds: and
that you will order "a hearing upon said
matter. giving notice as the law re-
quires; said hearing to be held at the
Elmwood hotel, Waterville. Me-. on the
18th day of October, A. d. 1897, at 10
O'Clock A. NJ
AS the readers of the Mail will remem-
Der, there We're two or three hearings be-
fore the commissioners last winter two
in this city and one in Oakland, on the
question of closing some of these waters
to ice fishing. and also on the question of
prohibiting the taking of bait fish from
them. Only two of the ponds were con-
sidered at that time. Great and Ellis At
the first hearing the preponderance of
opinion of those who appeared before the
commissioners seemed to be in favor of
closing, but near the close of the hearing
a number came in and said that they had
not received proper notification Of the
meeting, We're not ready with their case
and asked for postponement of action
This was granted and the final hearing
was held at Oakland. when the opponents
or the scheme came out in full force with
legal counsel and all that and put up
strong fight maintaining that the pro-
posed action would constitute depriya-
ton OF valuable rights to a great many
Individuals. There was a numerously
signed remOnStrance submitted and the
commissioners, somewhat Wrathily gaye
up the idea of closing.
1t is said that Commissioner Carleton
declared at the time and since that not a
fish should be turned loose in one of these
ponds until this ice fishing should, be
stopped and it is perhaps for this reason
that those who are now moving in the
matter have taken the steps they have
There will probably be another fight over
it. as there is a certain class in this city
In Oakland and in the towns bordering
ON the ponds who seem to esteem it a
great favor to be allowed to fish through
the ice, and they will doubtless be on
hand to present their side of the case
again.
Those who hope to see the waters COW
cred by the petition re-stocked with trout
ana stocked with landlocked salmon are
likely to array themselves on the side of
the petitioners, for they know very well
that 1t Is useless to hope for those things
until the fish butchery through the Ice is
stopped.
