An Injunction in EIyria.

E. G. Johnson, taxpayer, in behalf
of the city of Elyria, taxpayer, has
brought an action in the court of Com
mon Pleas Of LOrain county against said
city to enjOln the issuing or sale Of the
$150.000 bonds, known as "water works
construction bOnds," on the ground of
the illegality of the proceedings of the
council and others authorizing said
issue. Persons contemplating buying
said bonds would do well to take notice
of this fact, as anyone purchasing said
bonds under the circumstances will do
so at their own risk. Mr.. johnson is
confident that the bonds so proposed to
be issued will be declared void by the
Supreme court. 1t is certain that this
suit will be carried to a final issue in
the court of last resort, as large nun.

That an electric line running from
the lake shore south, through North Am
herst, 0berlin and Pittsfeld, to Yelling
ton would be a paying investment there
is not the slightest doubt, and the Won
der is that it has not been built long ago.
The line between Elyria and Lorain can
not run cars enough to accommodate its
patrons, and it is asserted on good auth
Ority that the road has paid this summer
one hundred per cent profit on the invest
ment. A north and south road through
this part of LOrain county would be even
more literally patrOnized at least nine
months in the year than the one between
Elyria and Lorain. Oberlin Owl.

"The life Of a panama hat-that is,
il it is a good one to start with" re-
marked M admirer of that style of head.
gear, compares somewhat with the
life of the owner of it. One can run
through either in n curry or hang On
for a long time if it is desired. If care
fully kept, n panama hat should last
all the way from 10 to 40 years. l
know a gentleman who resides in east
Washington who has owned and steadi-
ly worn during the summer months a
panama hat for nearly 40 years. It has
been bleached every couple Of years
since and retrimmed and refined, and it
is today to all intents and purposes as
good as when 1 first saw it 80 years ago.
II know of another panama hat, now
worn by o physician in this city, which
has had almost as long a life. Long be-
fore he got it his father wore it. l know
dozens OF them which have been in use
from 10 to go years. The lining wears
out, but the body of the hat keeps good.
OF course care has to be used to keep
them such a long time, but the panama
itself is almost in~destructible. The
original cost of the hats hat 1 refer to
was not exorbitant, none of them cost
ing over 81. "-Washington Star.

An Erratic Writer.

When Thomas Bailey Aldrich was a
small salaried clerk in George w.
Carleton's book store on Broadway, Fitz
James O'Brien was in the habit Of
dropping in to see him, and one day
came in rather more than half seas
over. Aldrich decided to take him
across tho street to a hotel and put him
to bed. Cautiously and carefully he led
O'Brien, but before he had got half
way across q friend stopped him and
asked: why do you want to bother
with the fellow. Let him CO." II will
not, " replied Aldrich. "He borrowed a
dollar from me a few days ago, and I
can't afford to let anything happen to
him."
At another time, when he was not
strictly sober, O'Erien found himself
out Of funds. He wandered into q pub
lisher's office md asked for 1876. This
was refused him. ADgrily seizing a
placard O'Brien reversed it and made
in big letters on the blank side: "One
of IS authors. 1 am starving" Ty-
ing a string to the card, O'Brien placed
it around his neck and paraded up and
down the street, to the great amuse-
ment Of a large crowd. He was of
course requested to desist, but nothing
stopped his mad course until a IS bill
was presented to him as u compromise.

The devil, dragon or octopus tree, as
1t is variously called in the different
stories told of it, is one of those travel
ers' myths which by dint of repetition
have worked their way into public be-
lief. The man eating or devil tree is,
according to the story, a huge plant
somewhat resembling a palm, a v that
the central fronds are provided with
sharp teeth, which, when the leaves
are folded over toward the center, grasp
with a death grip the man or animal
unfortunate enough to be inclosed with.
in. In some of the stories this tree is
also provided with long arms, which
reach out and seize unwary travellers,
raise their bodies in the air and drop
them into the center of the circle Of
devouring leaves.
1t is hardly necessary to say that
there is no such tree and that the story
has its origin in the dangers of travers-
ing q tropical thicket, where travellers
have received serious injuries from fall
ing over vines and among thorny plants,
where men are frequently attacked and
killed by serpents. The devil tree is 10.
Gated by various story tellers in Borneo,
in Sumatra and in the forest recesses of
other tropical islands, and whenever
inquiry is made for it it is to be found
somewhere else. ST. Louis Globe Dem

thick and 81 inches wide. They are
saturated with tar and firmly nailed to
