The doctor up in a Kennebec town
recommended sea water for an old
farmers wife who was suffering from
some ailment, and the farmer started
for the Seashore with a jug.
The farmer had never seen the ocean
and must have had an idea that it was
private property Else he decided that
doctors never prescribe anything that's
free. At any rate. he walked into a store
on the beach and asked for iugful of
seawater. The proprietor looked him
over and told him to go down and help
himself. When the farmer asked him
how much the price was, the trader
nearly tumbled over, but he recovered
and charged quarter.
About month afterwarq The farmer
showed up again with his jug and was
told to go out as before and help him.

But the tide was out his trip and the
old man was obliged to walk about n
quarter of mile across the flats. As
he was paying a quarter on his return

in Longman's Magazine presents certain
extracts from the Peking Gazette, and
one shows how rife is superstition in
China:

nary spirit. Let each be reduced one

is getting old and feeble. Let him retire

Zachary Taylor and Mrs. Fillmore were

her husbands incumbency. During the
Buchanan administration Miss Harriet

The first time in the remembrance OF
the living generation the Sea of Azov Is
frozen over solid. The Don River and
the Sea OF Azov froze very suddenly
consequence a number of vessels were
taken unawares and stopped on their

LADIES OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

executive mansion for only six months
before her husband died. President Ar
thur was n widower, and gave some
magnificent banquets. Mrs. Harrison
was practical, thoroughly good wom-
an. who brought many real home ideas
to the White House.
Mrs. Cleveland is probably the most
popular Chief Executives wife this
country has ever known. The great Sc
cret of her success lies In her charming
manners and wonderful memory of
faces. II Mrs. Mckinley, with all her
goodness and gentleness, can take the
place in the hearts of the people now oc-
cupied by Mrs. Cleveland, she will in
deed be fortunate. The merry prattle
of the three little Cleveland children
will be sadly missed during the next
administration, as the McKinleys are
childless. Mrs. Mckinley is very
sweet-looking woman, with large. hand
some eyes and soft gray hair. She has
a passion for flowers, and will find Il
great source of pleasure in the large
Conservatives belonging to the execu-
tive mansion.
Mrs. Mckinley is an invalid. and so it
is feared that she will not be able 10
endure the strain incident to the recep-
tlons usually held at the White House.
1t is hoped she will set the fashion for
future Presidents wives of sitting at
her receptions, and giving up the Gus
tom of handshaking. She has a most
lllustrious example to follow IL she
chooses to do so, in Martha Washing
ton, who received all her guests seated.

FLOWERS FOR MOsHfIl.
As Usual Feminine Interest Is

John Moshik tried hard all day to beat
the game of solitaire, but failed and by night
had become disguised with his cards. He is
beginning to feel lonesome and whenever any
one is admitted to his presence he is much
pleased. An unknown lady called at the
sheriffs Office yesterday. leaving small
bouquet OF carnations and small book for
the condemned murderer. Both presents
pleased the prisoner greatly. The book is a
small volume OF Biblical quotations, one for
each day in the year. Moshik read the pas
sage OF Dec. Il, several times yesterday al
though he did not seem to appreciate the
true meaning of the verse. MoShik is also
very anxious to sell his invention by which,
he says, vessels can be run by electricity.
Instead of a trolley pole, by which street
cars are. run, Moshik's idea is to have a
large wheel charged with electricity. AS
this revolves he expects to have the power
transmitted to pole, as on street cars, and
thence to- the prepellers. Moshik is of the
opinion that he will make a mint of money
out of it yet He says ne thought it all
out while he was serving time in Saltwater.
