Eats es Well as Ever,

William Mcconnell of near Clays- vile, Washington county, who had an aluminium plate four inches in length placed in his jaw, to take the place of portion of the jawbone, writes to Dr. Louise J. Lysle of the Presbyterian hos pital Alleghany, that he has entirely recovered and is now in as good shape as ever before. Mcconnell entered the hospital last June. He had had tooth extracted some time before, but the dentist shattered the jawbone, causing a peculiar growth to form and the bone to decay. Mcconnell writes that he has fully recovered, can eat as well as ever, and would never know that part of his anatomy is aluminium. -Pittsburg Dis patch.

PLACE NAMES.
Some Odd and Curious Names of Places
 In Massachusetts.

Some Odd and Curious Names of Places
 In Massachusetts.
 In the Middlesex fells some good old colonial names are preserved, like Jin- glejerry hill and Shillyshally brook. Spot pond was named by Governor Winthrop, who discovered it in the win ter, because of the many rocks that showed through the ice and spotted the surface. Powderhorn hill in Chelsea is said to have been bought from the h. dians for hornful of powder
 The fact of misfortune to divers un- known persons-whether trivial or great does not appear-fnds record in Bad Luck brook and swamp in Rehoboth, Bad Luck mountain in Granville and Bad Luck pond in Douglas. There may be some association between Burnooat brook and pond in Leicester and Spencer and Burnshirt river, likewise ill Worces- ter county.
 Drinkwater river Is a felicitous name for a stream of good water. It is in Hanover, and possibly there may have been family of that name in the neigh- borhood. Strong Water brook in Tewks- bury has quite different associations. Sought For pond, in Westford, suggests a long and baffied quest for the spot through the wilderness in the olden days One of the least euphonious of names is Skug river in Essex and Mid dlesex counties. It is worthy place among such English names as Worm wood Scrubs, park in London.
 The legend about tho names of the group of islands on the south coast pre- sents an instance of how fanoied resem- blances give rise to stories. It is related that these islands once belonged to a man with four daughters. To Nancy, the oldest, the father gave the first choice, and the fact that "Nan took it' is recorded in the name of Nantucket, the island she selected. Nantucket, of course, is ill reality an Indian name. Martha's Vineyard and the Elizabeth islands went to Martha and Elizabeth, respectively, while for the fourth daugh- ter, whose name has been lost to mem- ory, there was nothing left but the most remote and undesirable of the group, which was called No Mans Land, be- cause it's owner was woman. The Elizabeth islands, in fact, were named for Queen Elizabeth by Bartholomew Gosnold, their discoyerer, whose name has been given to the town that con- prises them. Boston Transcrint.

WilI Row at Henley.

The championship four of Canada and the United States will row in the Hen- ley regatta in England next summer. The Winnipeg Boat club four are mak- ing arrangements to compete for the Stewards Challenge cup, the symbol of the fastest amateur four in the world. The champion Argonauts of Toronto rowed at Henley i'll 1895 and created a most favorable impression, but they did not win the cup. They rowed what seemed to many to be draw heat, but did not get the decision. The Winnipegs will sail from New York about March 1. They will take no chances of not be- ing aoolimated, but will Do in England at least three months before the race, avoiding the mistake made by Cornell in 1895.

ARKANsANs IN ST. LOUIS.
Ahey Fropose To Organize Society Ut
 VIII Be In the Nature of Club

l
 Much talk is going on in St. Louis
 about organizing an Arkansas Club
 and relevant to the scheme, the
 Republic says:
 Recent articles appearing in the Republic descriptive of the resources of the State of Arkansas have stirred up the Stat pride Of the many eminent Arkansans now settled in St. Louis, and the early organiza- ton of an Arkansas Society is likely to be the outcome of this renewed interest.
 "When organized, which is likely to be in the near future, the Arkan- sas Society will be planned along the lines of such organizations US the Tennessee Society, Pike County Society, the New England Society, and other similar organizations, in- tended to foster a pride of the place of nativity among Arkansas people who have come to St. Louis and who desire to keep up the assoeia- tion of early life. The proposed Arkansas Society should be one of the strongest of it's kind in the city, and will be thoroughly representa- tive of the Foothpick State
 Among the most enthusiastic advocates of it's establishment is MT. Geo. Tiles, of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, who is strongly in favor of the organization of such q society. MT. Tiles, in alluding to the project, says: Arkansas was for thirty years my home, and I am still bound to it and to it's people by many dear ties. 1 have found, since coming to St. Louis, that many Arkansans have preceded me, and have been surprised at the number who have come here to seek fame and fortune. This has already been achieved by many, among the num- Der being Col. $. w. Fordyce, of the Cotton Belt Railroad; Col. Richard C. Kerens, Mr. Joseph c. Taylor, NIT Julius Lesser. Mir. G. ". Sanders, Mf J D. Goldman, the firm of Baer Bros. X Fuller, and others. St. Louis being the natural headquarters of Arkansas, at least 90 per cent of the business of the State is coming to this city, and with hundreds of daily visitors from the State, well organized Arkan- sos Club would be a notable feature of the club life of the city
 "It is likely that o<stfy steps look ing to the formation of such club will be taken by those interested in the movement.

TO MAKE OATMEAL DEAR.
Cereal Millers' Association Is Formed to
 Rule the Market

O~~O7A -AAAAAOAo <AsSOCldbiOu Is EOTmed to
 Rule the Market
 Nearly every oatmeal and cereal mill ln the United States has just entered into an agreement that amounts to a power ful trust to regulate the output and prices of oatmeal, rolled oats and other breakfast cereals.
 The new trust that threatens to squeeze out of existence the smaller mills of the country and make big ad- vance In prices as soon as the condition of the trade will allow it is called the Cereal Millers' association.
 The general manager of the assooia- tion is George ". Brown of Sioux City, Ia., who gets $350 q month for his serY- ices. Most of the mills that compose the trust are located in Iowa and in Ohio. The trust already is responsible, it is said, for the big jump of $f a barrel which rolled oats took in Novem- Der and the decline of 75 cents barrel in December, which was almost inde- pendent of the price of oats at that time.
 Every mill that is taken into the combination signs an ironelad agree- ment, the written object of which is the securing of better business methods by the members thereof, :" but tho real ob- ject of which is said to bo the freezing out of the smaller millers for the bene. fit of the big ones.
 The general manager of the assooia- tion is the absolute monarch of the trust. In other words, the general man. ager is the "whole thing. If there arc any other officers the constitution and bylaws of the association say nothing about them, and most of the small mill CTS that are not il the trust konw noth- ing about them.

HIS FALL PRoPHEsIED.
The Rev. sweeney's Remarkable Sermon
 on the Sultan of Turkey.

The Rev. sweeney's Remarkable Sermon
 on the Sultan of Turkey.
 Rev. z. T. Sweeney of the Christian church of Columbus, O., recently deliv- cred a remarkable discourse on ''The Rise and Fall of the Mohammedan Power. :"
 From the revelations of John and Daniel he showed that the power of the Turkish empire is at an end, and that 1897 is the year when the Holy City is to be delivered from tho "abomination" that for 1,260 years trod its streets. It was in 637 that Omar took Jerusalem, and 1860 years from that date brings up to 1897. The atrocities recently com mitted by the Turks ill Armenia are foreshadowed as one cause of tho down. fall of the Ottoman empire, and tho att titude of the powers give color to tine correctness of this interpretation.
 Again the defiance of Abdul Hamid, the present. sultan, to the will of the powers is noted i'll his reply to the warning of the Russian ambassador. He said, "I may be the last of the calIphs, but will never be second khedive. " Cincinnati Enquirer.

Mailing Candy Abroad.

A young man who apparently knows a girl in London came into the office tho other day and asked whether candy could be sent abroad through the mails. So he was taken over to the postoffice and the state of affairs was laid before an official, who instigated an investiga- tion. After long time he returned and reported as follows:
 ''I am very glad, said ho, that you asked that question. It's answer shows a curious state of affairs In this coun- try you can send candy up to pounds as merchandise for 1 cent for each ounce If you want to send candy abroad you only have to pay 1 cent for every ounces, but you can only send 12 ounces ill each package. If it weighs more than 12 ounces you have to pay letter rates, or 10 cents an ounce for the whole thing.
 'sThat is to say, you can send 10 ounces to London for 5 cents, but it would cost you 10 cents to send it to Brooklyn. So if you are thinking of sending a pound it will cost you $1.60 The stamp department is right over there.
 ''Thank you very much, said the young man. ''I just happen to relnem- Der that the doctor has forbidden the girl to eat candy New York Mail and Express.
