EX-RAYS.

Lyons Republican: The following
placard appeared on a. wagon which
passed through here a few days ago;
Thirteen hundred Spaniards down be-
low;
Praise God from whom all blessings
flow"
Chanute Tribune: The audacious i'm
pudence of the Spanish soldiers is prob
ably over estimated. American soldiers
all agree that the Spaniards in battle
are of a most retiring disposition.
Arkansas City Traveller: There has
been a serious charge preferred against
J. Mack Love, one that will completely
drive him out of the Democratic party
if proven. He is charged with embez-
cling, apprOpriating and surreptitiOusly
taking a bottle of water from VIII Mel
son.
Arkansas City Traveller: A man with
a small salary should marry a girl with
a slender waist.
Emporia Republican: Recent events
show the necessity of Spain adding a
text book on swimming to the curri-
culum now taught in her naval acadia
mics.
Parsons Sun: The Chinese emperor
seems to be in a position to sympathize
with the boy king of Spain. Neither Of
them has what would be considered a
good insurable claim upon their thrones.
Muscotah Record: Hugging a girl
these days is like wiping on a towel at
a cheap boarding house. You can't tell
how many have been there before you.

Bismarck was six feet In height,
with corresponding rotundity. He
looked m,re like soldier than
statesman, and delighted In soldlerly
uniforms and decorations. He
we ghed $50 pounds. He was an
enormous eater and great drinker
and smoker. He loved to talk and
his table talk was as spicy and vol
luminous rs that OF Martin Luther.
His parliamentary speeches were
vigorous and persuasive. but adorned
with but few OF the graces Of elo-
auence. He liked music, but did not
care for art or science. He was q
dlligent reader OF the Bible. but not
a church gCer. For man OF his
sterling good sense, he As said to have
been strangely superstitious. He had
a creeping fear OF ghosts, believed In
unlucky days and mallgn lunar In
fiuenees and regarded Ii as a number
Of evil augury. His biographer. DR..
Busch, naiyely tells that Bismarck
believed in God greater than him
self. He used TO declare that he hoped
for forgiveness through The blood OF
Christ, and was apt to mix up re-
llgious phrases with those OF a decid-
edly worldly philosopher.

1t is delusion, according to the
best authorities now, that to read
while in q recumbent position
is injurious to the eyes. Oculists
now tell us that if the light be good
and the type of the printed page
clear we may safely indulge in the
luxury of lying down and reading
at the same time. But our oculist
warns US that we may not use our
eyes before breakfast, as the strain
on the optic nerve will seriously
affect the sight. Unless one has un-
usually strong eyes one must not
read when one is extremely weary.
Exhaustion and fatigue affect the
nerves of the body, and the optic
nerve is SO sensitive that it should
receive particular consideration.
Nor should one ever be guilty of the
carelessness Of reading or writing
facing window. This is a cruel
strain on the sight. Washing the
eyes morning and night in water as
hot as it can be borne is q wonder
full tonic.-Scientidc American.

An OLD TRICK or THE C1RCUs

stSome of the fe3ts and tricks Of
one sort and another performed IN
shows that look so wonderful" said
the old circus man in the New York
Sun, fare really as simple az rolling
off log, if you know how they are
done. We used to have q clown at
one time who was also q very good
acrobat, and be was humorous in
his antics az we'll as in his speech,
and everybody liked him. He ~
ways wore black mustache, with
the ends neatly waxed and cork
screwed, and one of the funniest
things he did depended for its sue
cess on these waxed ends of his
mustache.
"After an unusually intricate piece
of foolery that called for good
deal of exertion, he would pause,
painting, in the ring, and turn to
the ring master.
"'Well, I'd give q dollar and a
quarter he would say to the ring
master, for bottle of soda water.
"Why, you shall have p bottle
for nothing the ring master says,
and he sends . groom for a bottle
of soda water, who comes back in
q minute with q bottle and glass
on a tray.
"'But where's the corkscrew?' the
clown asks, picking up the bottle
and holding it clear Of the tray and
looking all around on it. There's
no corkscrew.'
"'What's the matter with your
mustache for corkscrew? says
the ring master, the whole audiences
looking on perfectly still. And be-
fore you could think the clown
would swing the bottle up with the
cork against the point of one end
of his mustache-he'd practiced
that so he never missed it-and
drive it on to the point, ard then
almost in the same motion-there
was never, any halt in the action
from the beginning to the end Of
the whole thing-he'd begin turning
the bottle on the end of his mus.
tache until the point was buried in
the end of the cork, and then he'd
give the bottle a yank and pull it
free and carry it to his lips and
drink, leaving the cork impaled on
the end of his mustache.
"He'd drink half the soda water,
toss the bottle at the ringmaster,
have the cork off his mustache in
a jiffy and toss at the groom stand
ing there waiting with the tray, and
then turn cartwheel while the
whole audience doubled up with
laughter. Why, it used to tickle
'em half to death.
"Apd it was all done in the simp-
lest, easiest way in the world. The
two waxed ends were really two
corkscrew tips projecting out be-
yond his mustache and joining un-
der it in a good stout holder firmly
held between the teeth"
