HoW to get rid of q Habit.

Some one has been trying his
hand at the word "habit" and he
worked it out thus: ''Habit'
is hard to overcome. If you take
away the first letter, it does not
change "abit;" if you take away
another you will still have "bit;''
if you take away another the whole
of ''it'' remains; you take away an
other it is ''t'' totally used up. ALI
which shows that if you wish to get
rid of habit you must throw it
away altogether, and all at once. 1t
can't be done a part at time. Elk.

THAT recommendation of
Gov. Taylor's, in regard to
the appointment of an cleo
ton commission by the
governor, deserves no serious
consideration from our law
makers. Gov. Taylor's idea
is a very dangerous one. 1t
carries with it too much GEN.
tralization of power. The
truth about the matter is,
that if the suggestion is
adopted, the governor will be
"the whole thing"

Cultured People Smile.

The difference between a
smile and a laugh was appre-
ciated by Chesterfield, who,
in his letters to his son,
strongly insists on the polite
ness of the smile as opposed
to the vulgarity of laugh.
"The vulgar only laugh, but
never smile; whereas we'll
bred people often smile, but
seldom laugh" In another
place, in his famous book of
etiquette, he tells his son
not to laugh, that laughter is
vulgar, and illustrates it by
the statement that, in a mix
ed company, when a man
starts to sit down, supposing
there is a chair behind him,
and falls ON the floor, the in
cident causes a loud laugh,
whereas an elegant witticism
provokes only a smile. 1t is
undoubtedly true that culture
and refinement have dimished
the amount of laughing and
increased the sum total of
smiling. The lowest nations
laugh the loudest. The most
cultured express their
merriment by a smile.-Globe
Democrat.

SENATOR HARRIS Ill.

All day long Senator Har-
ris has been sleeping quietly
and without the aid Of mar
cotics. 1t is thought that this
is a favorable symptom, in
asmuch as it indicates that
the pain in his eyes has abat-
ed. One of the most emil
nent oculists of the East ex-
amined the Senator's eyes
this morning, and pronounced
it one of the worst cases Of
Iriticus that has ever come
under his observation. He
said that the pain which
Senator Harris must have
suffered during the last week
was akin to that torture
which a man might feel if
some one were to bore a hole
in his head through the eye
with an auger. Nevertheless
the Senator has borne his
agony without a murmur, and
his nurse describes him as
the most patient and docile
invalid she ever knew.
Shortly after the oculist
had finished his diagnosis
this morning, leeches were
applied to the infiamed tenn
pie, which proved of Immense
relief to the sufferer. The
disease and pain has so great
ly affected the eye, however,
that an operation may be
necessary later on before the
vision can be perfectly restor-
ed.
While the leeches were
zealously doing their part,
the Senator would insist all
most involuntarily on putting
his hands up to his face. An
attendant caught one hand
and the physician the other,
and held them tight.
eff there is any part of
that face that belongs to me-"
the Senator said, in dry and
pleasant humor, "please stake
it off, as / would like to feel
it"
Senator VOORHEES, called on
the sufferer to-day, but as
Senator Harris was asleep, he
did not see him. Senator
Voorhees, seemed to regret it
much, and said: ''Tell Sem
ator Harris that 1 haven't
been up long myself, and that
he is the first man 1 have
called on since getting out of
bed. Washington Cores

The store of w. B. Shearin was
burglarized by two men last Friday
morning about 3 o'clock. They
first drilled a hole in the top of the
safe for the purpose of blowing it
open. They abandoned this idea,
however, and knocked the combi-
nation off and drove the lock in.
The inside door of the safe was I'M
locked. Messrs. James and Will
Shearin were sleeping up stairs over
the store. They had retired about
10. 80 o'clock in company with Mr..
John Rose. The first to awake
was James Shearin. He heard the
noise and supposed it was his father
making a fire, as was his custom ev-
cry morning. Fearing this, the
boys got up to see what was the
matter, but only got one gun. They
came down the staircase and dis
covered the robbers. The boys
