The following explanation is
given why a locomotive is spoken
of as "she." "They wear a jacket,
an apron, have shoes, hose and
drag a train behind them; they
have lap, need guides, ride wheels,
will not turn out for pedestrians,
sometimes foam and refuse to
work; they attract the men, some
times very contrary and it always
takes man to manage them; some
locomotives have a bonnet stack.

During the summer of 1891, Mr..
Chas. p. johnson, well known at
torney of Louisville, Ky, had a
very severe attack of summer COM
plant. Quite a number of differ
emit remedies were tried, but failed
to afford any relief. A friend who
knew what was needed procured
him bottle of Chamberlain's Col
ic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
which quickly cured him and he
thinks, saved his life. He says
that there has not been day since
that time that he has not had this
remedy in his household. He speaks
of it in the highest praise and takes
much pleasure in recommending it
whenever an opportunity is offer

Ktrmess.

In some portions of Germany, the
kirmess, or church mass, formerly
danced in honor Of the dedication of a
church, is now observed With the spe-
cial character Of a harvest home. II
marks the close of the years labors,
and is celebrated by three days OF
music, feasting and dancing with part
ners chosen or allotted, according to
degrees of comeliness, at the proceed
ing May festival
In southern Germany, the end Of the
harvest is marked by the sickle feast.
The last sheaf is carried in triumph to
the barn, and placed on the floor, while
the younger couples dance around it.
One-half of it is then decked with rib
bons, and hung aloft while the other
half is burned. It's ashes are treas
ured as remedy for rheumatism, and
are sometimes used in making amulets
or charms. The peasants leave for
Wodan, or "the old one" few ears of
corn, and small number of apples, it
being considered unlucky to strip

ONE MORE BUBBLE BURSTS.

About a year ago it was announced
that E. c. Brice of Chicago could make
gold. 1t was also announced that he
couldn't. Instead of quietly and sell
fishly making gold and making himself
rich beyond the dreams of avarice he
went about benevoientiy offering others
went in with him, and a $4,000 gold
factory was built in Chicago. Bust
ness in that factory is now Frustrated
and Mr.. Brice himself is suffering from
nervous prostration. P. G.. Lamoreaux
who has been appointed temporary
manager, says the theory is all right
He aserts that the books show where
every dollar received by Brice was ex-
pended, even to $1,000 he received for
stock two weeks ago. For six months
Brice worked night and day. 1t was
the dream of his life to make the plant
a success. Pressed on all sides by
stockholders when the plant was not
turning out gold according to expecta-
tons, he held them off, claiming to be
on the verge of success until his money
was exhausted. A few days ago he
acknowledged his system was a failure
and asked Mr.. Lamoreaux to take hold.
We are told Mr.. Brice flung himself on
the couch in his Office and wept like a
child. The shareholders number about
three hundred. Many of them are poor
people who suffered privations to buy
stock. Shares which sold for $40, their
face value, in October, rapidly increas-
ed in value. BY November they were
quoted at $50 and SIS. During Deem
Der some were sold for 5000 and $3.50.
Now they are not quoted

wanting a house. He must build, but
he has to lease his plot from the State,
and pay according to measurement.
For building timber is required. He
has to cut it himself, but is taxed all
the same at so much a log, Aware of
there being no skilled workmen in the
place, he has taken a few up with him
from the coast. For leave to make use
of them in State territory he is taxed
according to their number, and if he
employs any of the aborigines to assist
in the work there is payment due en-
them also. In respect of the finished
house, a tax is levied proportionate 10
the surface it covers, although he has
paid already for the entire plot. A
necessary adjunct to tropical house
is detached kitchen. That carries
another tax. The settler must pay

THE ERESH LIE HEIp.

Those who haven't watched the
Fresh Air work of the City Missionary
association would be very much sur
prised to know how much good has
been done with the small amount of
money the association has had in it's
Fresh Air fund, 1t ought to have more
to work with this year, and benevolent
people will do well to make themselves
acquainted with the need and the value
of the work and then contribute gem
erously to it. Fresh air is better than
medicine for many of the young and
feeble folk who are helped by the fund,
and great many can be helped with
little money in these days of long troll
ley rides and cheap excursions. No
money given to help the needy is bet
ter used or more useful than that con-
tributed TO the Fresh Air fund.
