Battledoor and shutt1ecock In Japan.


 Miss Ida Tigner Hodnett tells of the sports and pastimes of boys and girls in her article on "The Little Japanese at Home" in St. Nicholas. Miss Hodnett says:
 Playing ball and battledoor and shut tlecock, as we'll as kite flying, belong especially to the first of the year. The balls for little girls are made of cotton cord covered with strands of bright col ored silk, and the children become very skiuful in making these balls them selves Sometimes the ball is merely bounced by the child as she kneels be- fore it. Sometimes she stands and, striking it to the ground, whirls quickly around in time to strike it again as it rises. Battledoor and shuttlecock is played in the streets not only by girls in twos and threes and in circles, but also by whole family. Father, mother, sisters and brothers all join in the game, knocking the shuttlecook from one to another and if one fails to hit it in time to keep it from the ground all the other players rush to give that one light blow with the bat. Sometimes the punishment for failure is having a circle drawn round the eyes or the face otherwise marked. The bat is of wood, with one side plain, the other orna- mented with the picture of some well known character of history or romance or of singing girl. The shuttlecock consists of small, round centerpiece, painted or gilded, stuck round with feathers, as petals are ranged round the center of a flower.

You never heard the like before of such a sale as this will be-A Great Mill End Sale of Dry Goods.

 When the outfit. got around to the home ranch and there was at length few days rest for horses and men, Tuss- Ter said: "Boys, I've got to see my den tist again. Come along to town"
 They came along to the number of eight, and leaving them at the Cayuse saloon Mike went over and had an in- terview with the dentist.
 "You remember, '' he said, plugging tooth for me last spring?'
 The dentist remembered very we'll. Isn't it all right?''
 ''Sure," said he, "and got friend who likes it so we'll that he wants me to let the job of fixing one for him."
 "I have but one price for filling" 1" said the dentist.
 "But this is big back tooth that'll take more metal to fill it than mine, |" insisted Mike.
 ''The size of the cavity has nothing to do with it. Unless have to kill the nerve the price is absolutely the same."
 ''I think the nerve is already dead in his'n," :" ventured Mike. "When can he oome?''
 "Tell him to come tomorrow after noon," said the dentist and added face tiously, "and bring his tooth with him."
 "Yessir,'' said Mike.
 The boys killed time as best they might until the appointed hour. Then, with becoming gravity-Tussler lead ing and the cook second-they filed into the dentists office. There was scant room for nine men, but they ranged themselves against the wall, and Mike said, with wave of the hand, "These are all my friends, butt" indicating the cook, "this is my particular friend that I spoke to you about"
 "And this." said the cook, stepping forward and depositing on the table a large parcel, ''is my tuoth."
 "Open it, said Tussier.
 The dentist did so, revealing to his astonished gaze tooth of Brobdingnag- ian size. Its length was Tot less than ten inches, of corresponding breadth and thickness. It had a cavity equal to 12 cubic inches.
 ''That's the tooth," said Mike.
 "This is one on me, boys," said the dentist. "Come over to the Cayuse.'' ''
 ''Fill the tooth first, " suggested Tuss- Ter.
 "Yes." said all the boys in chorus.
 The dentist looked at the tooth. He looked at the nine impassive faces along the wall. "Why, certainly" he said. It took all the alloy, amalgam, ce- ment. concrete and gutta percha in the laboratory, but it was done to the satis. faction of Mike and his friends, who as- sured the dentist of their future patron age and filed out as solemnly as they had come. "How did you make the big hole in it?' asked one. sa .,.a -'.The blacksmith did it," replied 1 Tussler.

Position In Society.

To all those who spend their time wondering how other people live we would suggest that an examination ot the plaintiff petition in the case of Schneider versus Hosier. 2I Ohio St
 98, might throw some light on the sub ject. It was suit under civil damage act, and the plaintiff alleged in her pe
 tition that she was the wife of one Zimri Hosier, on whose good conduct. frugality and personal labor she was dependent for the support of herself and their seven minor children. for the proper culture and moral training of the latter. and. to a good extent, for her own position in society. The said Zimri Hosier. when not intoxicated or Iaboring under the effects of intoxlca- tion, was an industrious laboring man and regularly earned and received for his labor $l.5O a day" There's man. agement for you. Seven children and a wife supported, the children properly cultured and morally trained and the wife's position in society maintained- all on $1 50 day. Perhaps there may have been extenuating circumstances in the intoxication of Zimri Law Notes

Owing to the length ofour New Years
message we did not give any local news
in our last communication. We should
have mentioned the matrimonial alliance
between Fargus Mclean and a Miss Bao-
Gus of Missouri, which took place during
Christmas week. Fargus was one Of the
400 society dudes of AbbyviIle and will be
greatly missed from its circle. However
We learn that his bride is charming
young lady and that they are going to re-
side insWest Minister. Long may they
live and happy may they be.
Note the following changes made by
four Of the citizens of our community
commencing with the new year. G. M.
SchuIr shaved smooth and resembled Il
bashful sixteen year old boy. John Mar
tin shaved his upper lip. His nearest
neighbors bow to him as stranger. &.
L. Mitchell quit shaving and now resem.
bles Russell Sage, minus the Russell.
w. W. Baker is growing side burns on
his face and resembles Mark Hanna.
Your correspondent and frOw in COM
pany with G. L. Mitchell and frow visited
John McKeowen and frow of huntsville
township enc day last week. We had a
royal time including one of Mrs. Nc
Keoweu's famously good dinners. Mr.
Mitchell had Ueen residing in the crowded
city Of Abbyville so long that the fresh
country air seemed to have wonderful
effect on his appetite. 1t almost made us
shed crOckodile tears to see him eat. AT.
tel dinner the ladies' retired to the kitchen
and formed q secret society, presumably
to talk about the styles, how to spend the
most money; :he neighbors etc. while we
statesmen occupied the parlOr and dis
cussed measures of reform; the Cuban
question etc. Mr.. McKeOweu has we'll
improved two hundred acre farm. John
MS he is called, is a native of Ireland but
came to America when boy. He has
served us conductor on the Lake Shore

Kansas. Has lived on his farm in Hunts
vile several years. Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Keowen are whole-souled happy cou.
pie. Long may they live.

Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
of knowledge of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as a money
of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned judge, skilled
lawyer, or court Of justice that IS
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter Justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority Of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
with which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it so is unconstitutional and a
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts,
and truth, concerning this almost sue
cessful scheme to corner the wealth
of the people, is now being printed
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, a news
paper which the combined power of
money has failed to muzzle or buy.
