the next morning, she was up early,
ard it was not many minutes till she
had rather excellent breakfast ready
Breakfast over, horses caught and sad

IrOntO1. The morning was lovely,
and all nature appeared to speak to Us
words OF cheer and comfort. The four
/ miles from Cedar Grove to Belleview
| proper were made in an hour: and OBJ
servation showed US clearly that farm
ers were very much behind hand with
their work, owing principally to the
vast amount OF wet weather. While
clover and timothy looked fairly well
all along the route, wheat in most
places did not look very promising;
the yield on an average surely cannot
exceed 90 per cent of an ordinary yield.
Mr.. Charley Farmer has the finest
piece of wheat We saw on our journey.
While l was enjoying the beautiful
scenery along the road. the even tenor
of my mind was suddenly disturbed by
my horse having come in contact with
barb-wire fence, thus tearing the leg
of my pants. But when we arrived at

that trouble was removed from my
mind. having had that pants leg tenn
porarlly adjusted. The ten miles from
Belleyiew TO IrontOn was made with
out further accident, arriving in Iron
ton at II o'clock. A. NJ, where, after
quickly dispatching our business, we
accepted an invitation from Giles Hen
derson, Arcadia, TO take dinner with
him. Better treatment one cannot Of
ten find than he will receive at the
hands of Mr.. and Mrs. H. Leaving
Ironton at o'clock, we stopped for
the night with Mr.. and Mrs. Van Mort,
Belleview, where again we were made
of the family. Mr.. Van Mort has a
courteous intelligent family, in whose
presence one cannot help feeling very
much at home. The next morning we
started for home, going down Outre
Fork Of Black River. arriving at
Squire Luthy's, at 1880 a. NJ, where,
at the request of Mrs. L., we stopped
for dinner, which was good enough for
kings son. After dinner was over,
we resumed our journey homeward, ar
irving there at + 80, P. NJ, weary, but
feeling very grateful for the many acts
of kindness received at the hands of

During said trip was introduced to

Remarkable Whale Story.

y curious story, which comes from
Caen, is told by the Paris correspond
cnt of the London Morning Post. A.
NJ. Dubosq was duck shooting at the
mouth of the River Orne when a whale
rose near his boat. He fired both bar
rels of his gun into the animal, which
dived. The water being very shallow,
the whale soon rose again, whereupon
NJ. Dubosq jumped upon its back and
began stabbing it with large knife.
He was tossed into the sea, but returned
to the attack and finally succeeded in
driving the whale ashore. NJ. Dubosq
has sold his capture to a company and
it has been towed to Caen. 1t is Is
years since whale was captured on
this part of the French coast.

Personally appeared before the un-

That on or about March Sth, 1897, he
obtained from the Office of Deputy sn

certain blank petition for the purpose
of securing signatures for the nomlnd-
tion of j. p. Ridge as candidate Tor
the office of City Council of the Fourth
Ward of the City of Marietta, to be
voted for at the April election, 1897;
that he proceeded to have said petition
signed and obtained the required num-
ber of signatures thereto Il long time
prior to the expiration of the time al
lowed by law for the fling of said pc
tition; that, owing to the absence OF
the said j. 2. Ridge from the city and
by an understanding had between him
and said Ridge, said petition was not
fled for the reason that said Ridge had
requested said Mahnken not to file the
same until said Ridge had been heard
from in relation thereto and said atfiant
further SAYS that he made inquiry from
various persons as to when said Ridge
would return to Marietta, also that he
did not receive any communication
from said Ridge during his absence
from the city and that said Ridge did
not return until after the expiration OF
the time allowed by law for the filing
of said petition with the Board of Elec-
tions. Said affiant further says that
on March 21st, 1897, he delivered said
petition to j. Ii. Dye to be by him de-
livered to Louis A. Leonhart and said
Louis A. Leonhart being resident
elector of the Fourth Ward and friend
of said j. P. Ridge and further that
said Louis A. Leonhart knew of the
fact that said Ridge had requested
them to wait until they had heard frolu
Mr.. Ridge as TO whether or not he MIR.
Ridge desired said petition to be filed,
and that j. II. Dye had nothing what
ever to do with the delay in the filing
of said petition and for the reason that
Mr. Dye did not have the custody of
the petition until after March Goth
which was the last day allowed by law
for the fling of namination papers for

DEMAND FOR FLINTLoGKs.
They Are Made to Delight African and
Other Savagcs.

Strange as it may appear, flintlock
muslets are not merely record of by
gone ages, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. In 1895 no fewer than 1920,
900 gunfints We're produced at the
Lingheath mines, Brandon, Suffolk,
England. These flints are chiefly to de-
light African and other savages, who,
having been so long used to fiintlocks,
are reluctant TO give them up.
The method of manufacturing these
gun flints is very interesting. In the
operation of "fanking' the worker
will take quarter" in his left hand
and placing it on his knee, around
which protecting band of leather has
been strapped, gently tap the flint with
a hammer, giving it each time we'll
directed blow. At every tap fake six
inches long and one inch wide falls into
his hand and, if good one, is deposited
in a pail by his side, all bad ones being
discarded. The knappers work these
flints with hammers with long, thin
heads, often made of old files, trans
versely striking the strip of flint on an
iron fixed in their benches.

ARE WE MICROBES?
4 Theory That Human Beings and All
Life Arc Aggregntions of Them.


Life Arc AgEregntions of Them.
NJ. Paris, who succeeded to the seat
of the great Pasteur in the French
academy, referred in his inaugural ad
dress to the interesting theory that hui
man beings and all life are aggrega-
tions of microbes, says the New York
Journal.
THE microbes" he said, "were
known before Pasteur, but the part
which they played in nature was not
clearly discerned. They penetrate into
the tissues of the human body and pre-
duce infectious disease: they people
the air; they fill the water; they satu-
rate the soil; dwell in animals and
plants; they develop us, serve DUR pur-
poses and threaten us from all sides.
Nay, they are, perhaps, ourselves.

OLDEST RACE NAME.
Distinction Belongs to the Chine
or T7Orgclinns.

Distinction Belongs to the Chinese,
or MoEEclinrs.
The population of the globe may be
said to be primarily divided into three
races; the yellow man, the white man
and the black man. Any other race,
compared with these, is unimportant,
and may be considered a modification
of one or more of them. Anderson says
that 1.-The yellow men have immemorial-
~ occupied the great central and north
eastern plains of Eurasia, and are
therefore called NIongols or Turan-
Chinese. For countless centuries they
far out-numbered all the rest of the
world, and even now the white men in
Asia form only q tenth of the popula-
ton. From their number, position and
other considerations, they appear to
have first eXisted; the other two races
being derived from them by emigration,
change of climate and mode of living"
The writer then goes on to say later:
"Thus the three great racial types may
have sprung from the Mongolian
stock" Rawlinson seems to confirm
this view, and in that case the Egyptian,
for example, is not SO old as the Mon
gol. The term Mongolian does not
mean, as has been supposed, that the
race originated in Mongolia, but only
that the physical characters of the race
are prominently displayed in the Mon
golians. For this reason, therefore,
this race holds to the ancient name, the
most ancient among many.
