The TOWN oE Noeoop.

ny friend, have you heard OF the town Of
Nogood.
on the banks OF the River Slow,
Where blooms the Waitawhile flower fair,
Where the Sometimeorother scents the
air
And the soft Goeasys grow?
lies in the valley of whatstheuse
In the province Of Leterslide.
That Tiredfeeling Is native there:
It's the home of the reckless Idontcare.
Where the Giveitups abide.
Il stands at the bottom OF Lazyhin,
And Is easy to reach, declare.
You've only TO fold up your hands and
glide
Down the slope of weakwiIrs toboggan's
slide
To be landed quickly there.
rhe town Is as old as the human race,
Ard 1t grows with the flight of years.
Il is wrapped In the fog OF oilers dreams.
Its streets are paved with discarded
schemes
And spr.nEled with useless tears.
The Coll, gebred fool and the Richman's
heir
Are plentiful there, no doubt
The rest of the crowd are a motley crew,
With every class except one In view
The Foolkiller is barred out
The town OF Nogood is all hedged about
by the mountains of Despair.
No sentinel stands on its gloomy walls,
No trumpet to battle and triumph calls,
For towards alone are there.
My friend, from the dead alive town Mo-
good
IL you would keep far away,
lust follow your duty through good and Ill.
Take this for your motto, II can, l WILL"
And live up TO 1t each day.

ELECTRICAL FLASHES.

Among recent patents is one for q
self-restoring annunciator, which, aft
er displaying the signal for a short
time, automatically restores itself with
out the aid of an attachment.
There is a bill in the United States
senate providing that all overhead cleo
trio wires in the District of Columbia,
within fire limits, be removed within
one year from the passage of the act.
1t is said the Third Avenue Railroad
company of New York intends to adopt
electric traction on all it's existing lines
and on others to be built. The conduit
trolley system will be used. The i'm
proyements contemplated will cost sew
eral millions of dollars.
Among the latest electrical patents
granted Is one for a polarized signal
bell, which permits the calling currents
of other bells to pass through without
ringing it, while it is responsive to it's
own predetermined signals, which are
of varying current strength.
According to the Electrical Review,
the oil lamps used to illuminate part
of the Fourth avenue tunnel in New
York city have been supplanted with
incandescent electric lights. Groups of
lights containing five globes are placed
at intervals of every so feet, while at
the Thirty-eighth and Fortieth street
stairways red lamps indicate the exits.

Ma de u Confession,

Further facts in the poisoning case of
John Moore, by Mile Moore, his wife,
have been unearthed by the coroner's
jury at Batesvillc. One Daniel Laird,
a neighbor of the Moore family, was
arrested and confined in Jail as the ac-
complete of the woman. On being con-
fronted with the line of proof Mile
Moore broke down and made full con-
fession, naming Laird as her helper,
saying he put the stuff in the coffee.
She then went with the jury to the
residence and dug up from where it had
been concealed "a wooden box of stuff
said to have been used by them. 1t is
an unlabeled box, but it is conceded to
be 'ratiline."

Knight and Hotelkeeper.

The king of Wurtemberg may per-
haps be said to be the only Knight of the
Garter who is a hotelkeeper as well as
monarch. This has long been tradi-
ton in his family, but not till lately
was it discovered by the rulers of the
beautiful little German kingdom how
profitable innkeeping can become.
When Peter the Great was travelling in
cognito through Europe he refused to
stop anywhere but at an inn. To cir
cumvent this whim the king of Wur-
temberg put tavern sign outside one
of the royal palaces, and, dressed as an
innkeeper. himself welcomed the car.
This royal personage's descendant now
owns two large hotels, from which he
is said to derive revenue of $50, 900 q
