Owen F. Fishback, the grandfather OF
Judge Peter Swing, Of the Hamilton
county ciricut court. During all the
hours of her visit and while writing she
always occupied this plain poplar
chair. After Mrs. Stowe rose to fame
with her book the chair was preserved
and handed down as a part of history
from Mrs. Fishback to Mrs. Grant and
Mrs. Swing, then to Miss Miller; from
her to Mrs. G. Anderson, who left the
chair in charge of Mr.. Lou Buerkle, in
whose possession 1t now remains.
The back of the chair has become
broken off, and all of the Stats are
broken out of the back. The color of
the chair was black. Mrs. Swing, now
deceased, had many pleasant and inter
esting accounts to detail of remarks
and conversations held by herself with
the deceased authoress. The chair

A SNAll'S TONGUE.
IL II One of the Most Wonderful
Things of Nature.

IL II One of the Most Wonderful
Things of Nature.
A snail's tongue Is really one of the
most wonderful things in nature, and
If larger animals were endowed with
as DESTRUCTIVE an apparatus in the way
Of tongue, in comparison to their
size, it would be dreadful thing.
A snail's tongue, says the Chicago
News, is literally saw, and a hand
saw at that. 1t is long, and covered
over the entire surface with teeth SO
minute that 10000 of them have been
counted on tongue. The tongue is
kept coiled up, and only about sixth
of the length used at a time. When the
teeth on this section become dull an
other section is uncoiled and used. This
is kept up until the entire tongue has
been used, when it is coiled up again
and a fresh start made, for the teeth
on the unused part have in the mean
time grown to be as sharp as ever.
The roof of the mouth is as hard as a
bone, and any substance that is to be
cut is drawn between the tongue and
this hard roof and literally sawed or
rasped off.
A man with knife could hardly trim
of a leaf and leave cleaner or straight
er edge than the snail leaves, and there
is nothing of the proverbial slowness
of the snail in its work.

ROSE NOMENCLATURE.
The Fearful Names of Some Imported
Varieties.

Varieties.
! Some day, too, we may have nomen-
clature committee, who will meet the
French roses at the portals of our coun-
try and rechristen them with a pro-
nouncable name before presenting
them, for which we all most devoutly
thank them in advance. A rose by any
other name than "Mademoiselle Suzanne
Marie de Rodocannachi" would smell
just as sweet and we would not miss
our train trying to tell our neighbor
what It is called. 1t is to be hoped that
the young lady changed her name and
that II was a shorter one. Provision
should be made In such q case for a
like change in the name of the rose.
The man who called rose "Grande
Duchesse Heritiere Marie Anne de Lux
embourg" had no consideration for the
poor gardener OF florist who would have
to write 1t on four>inch label with
q stump of pencil. They don't write
1t. They simply say the rose is no good;
It is RELOCATED to obscurity and so they
have their revenge. 1t Is pity that the
French raisers cannot see the absurdity
of calling roses such long names and
above all Of calling them after every
member of q family, resulting in un
limited confusion.

TREATMENT OF HIVES.
An Annoying Aflment Which Amtcts
Children In Summer.

About this time of year children are
apt to be troubled more or less with
hives. Usually they are not a menace to
life, but they are great discomfort to
the child and its mother. All are ia
miliar with this condition so ii need
not be described at length. They sud-
denly flash out on seemingly healthy
skin and as suddenly disappear. They
are at first of a pinkish red color, soon
changing to deep red. If rubbed they
become surrounded by whitish ring
which has given to them the appropriate
namo "wheals." They are intensely
itchy and almost drive child frantic.
The most urgent indication is 10 allay
the irritation; this may be done with
varying degrees of success with various
applications. A favorite remedy Is a
saturated solution of bicarbonate of
soda-ordinary baking soda. Possibly
better remedy is pulverized boracic
acid dissolved in glycerine or cosmo-
line and lightly rubbed over the surface.
A remedy have used with satisfaction,
though it has very disagreeable odor,
is a solution of carbolic acid. tea
spoonful to a pint of water, the mix
ture to be shaken for IS minutes to get
the acid thoroughly broken up. A good
authority gives these directions for the
relief of this affection. Wash the child
with soda water, then dip the finger in
castor oil and battle each individual
hive. rubbing the oil well into the skin.
The cause of hives is generally found
in the digestive tract, so the diet and
bowels should be carefully looked to.
One of the saline purgatives should be
given to carry off any undigested mate
rial that may be present, then all rich
and heating foods should be withheld.
The child should be kept as still as
possible to avoid overheating the
blood.-Home Monthly.

ABANDONED HER HOME.
just Because She Wants to APP

Headstrong Girl Who Declares She
VIII XIII Herself Rather Than
be Forced to Don Female
Wearing Apparel.

Investigation of the case of the young
woman who was detected in boys at
tire at the barge Office at New York, has
developed a rather romantic story.
Among the passengers landed from
the steamship Cherokee, from Haytian
ports, was boyish looking person
about "a years of age. He had soft,
smooth skin, jet black hair and refined
features. When taken before the clerk
for registration he appeared bit
nervous. His appearance aroused the
clerks suspicious, and Commissioners
Senner was notified. The boy was taken
to the doctors Office, where "he" finally
broke down and admitted being a
woman.
"Pn kill myself" she dramatically de-
clared, before I'll wear women's
clothes. 1t is my life's desire to be a
man. That the Almighty made me a
woman is no fault of mine"
The young woman, who was well sup
piled with money, gave Commissioner
Senner the name of prominent lawyer
in New York city who, she said, knew
her family and had charge of fund set
aside for her support.
Though an effort was made to keep
the name of this attorney secret, 1t aft
onward developed that he was the IA
nous jurist, Judge Dittenhofer, who,
when summoned, responded immediate
ly, and told DR.. Senner this story:
This young woman" he began, sis
the daughter of an Englishman of
wealth and prominence. About Is years
ago this Englishman was sent by his
government on foreign mission to one
of the oriental countries. He had been
recently married and his wife accom-
panied him. This child was the result
of the union. When an infant she mani
tested the desire, which subsequently
grew into a mania, for boys clothing.
When only six years of age she de-
clared to her mother that she was UNI

THEY HAVE TROUBLES.
A Book Dealer Given Advice by a
Stranger.


A Book Dealer Given Advice by a
Stranger.
Book dealers have their troubles as
we'll as other people. They probably
answer more questions than a railway
station agent or the bright young man
who presides at the window of bureau
of information Office, says the Dallas
(Tex.) News.
A Main street dealer was not sur
prised, therefore, the other day when a
clerical-looking stranger walked into
his place of business and began to look
around.
slave you got The Woman in White
by Collins?" he inquired.
OF course the dealer had ii, and was
only too anxious to make a sale.
"Have you got All Alone which is
also by Collins?" the quiet stranger
continued.
Sure the dealer had it, and by this
time he became interested.
at forgot the author, but there is a
book called In the Dark that is said to
be very fine"
By that time the dealer had all the
books on his counter and was prepar-
ing to wrap them up.
"Never mind" said the stranger. 81
don't want to buy. j merely want to
suggest that If you have The Woman
In White All Alone and In the Dark
that you have a good thing. Good day.
SIR"
And the dealer is looking for his min
isterial visitor to kick him around the
block.

Dor Scared to Death.

A dog was frightened to death at
Goshen, Conn, one day last week, dur
ing hard thunderstorm, in, which
lightning struck Fred Williams house,
where the dog was. The lightning ran
down the lightning rod and entered
the house, tearing bed to pieces and
tearing off plaster and passing into an
other room, tearing a second bed to
pieces. The family dog, which was al
ways afraid of a thunderstorm and pre-
ferred to seek dark spot in the house
until the shower was over, went into
a dark room, and when the house was
struck was killed. He was found dead
in the room, although no evidence OF
the bolt having entered the room was
found.
