DOG WHIPPING DAY.
when Every hoy Is Allowed to Use
Rswitch In England-An old
Custom.

There are parts of rural England
where they still set aside a day for
whipping dogs.
Dog-whipping day is October IS.
Then every boy in the neighborhood is
privileged to arm himself with sticks
and lashes and beat every dog he meets
to his hearts content. There are diff
ferept stories as to the origin Of this
strange custom. In Yorkshire tradi-
tion has it that priest, when going his
rounds many years ago, dropped the
holy water used in communion service.
A dog that happened TO be near by
swallowed it, and was promptly
whipped for his gulttony, and in com
memoration of this event it has been
deemed expedient to thrash the entire
dog family on this day throughout the
succeeding years. In the vicinity Of
Manchester the tale goes that the good
fathers in a certain monastery used to
set platters of food outside the gates
for the poor pilgrims that infested the
country at certain seasons. On one oc-
casion a dog, whose stomach was prob
ably empty as any pilgrims ever dare
be, very selfishly ate the food him
self. He was caught in the lawless act
and was whipped soundly, and his
crime and its punishment have been
visited upon his descendants these
many generations.

Cost of Automobiles.

In determining the expenses of the
automobile, the cost of power is every
thing When the test was made the
power came from a central power
house, which will, of course, be the
case in every community where mo-
biles are much used. But test was al
SO made with a gas engine, such as
may be set up in any cellar or stable,
and it was found that the power for
charging electric batteries could be
produced at the rate of from two to
three cents working hour AT this
rate, the cost a mile is about 1121
cents, as aginst 1886 cents, when the
vehicle is drawn by horses. This is a
saving of 954 cents a wagon each day,
and as the mobile takes only four
hours to travel SO miles, as against
.5.14 hours required by the other vehi-
Gle, this is a time saving on each wag-
on of 1856 hours each year.-St Louis
Republic.

About Wasps.

The wasp is not vegetarian like the
bee, and our cement maker has before
her the problem of supporting her
young with meat rather than with
bread. AS her eggs are laid out in hot
weather, and as enough food must be
stored in the cell with the egg to ma
ture the young insect. thes esquestion is
how to preserve the meat fresh for so
long a time She meets the dlfTiculty
thus: After tube is finished. except
one end, which is left open, she flies off
on hunt for spiders. She finds a fat
healthy one, pounces upon 1t, stings 1t
and carries 1t of. and places 1t in the
mud cell. She repeats this process un-
I'll she has placed as many spiders in
the tube as, according TO her Judgment
will be needed. She then lays an egg
in the cell and walls up the opening.
The remarkable thing about this
performance is the magic effect of her
sting Whether it is the result of a
subtitle poison or whether it is a spec
ial spot on the spiders nervous system
where the sting is inserted we do not
know. Certain it is that after being
thus stung the spider lives on in par
alyzed condition for weeks and even
months. 1t can move only slightly
and remains helpless in its mud sep
ulcher until the wasp egg matches into
voraclous grub, which at once falls
to and eats with great relish the meat
thus mlracuously preserved.
Whether the wasp sting renders the
spider insensible to pain or not is a
question not yet settled. However,
the chances are in favor of the theory
that it does. Anyway, we need waste
no sympathy on the spider, the most
bloodthlrsty of all the little people of
the fields and woods. There is a sense
of retributive justice in the thought of
spider helpless at the mercy of a
small insect which it would have mer-
chessly devoured had it been able.
So we need not accuse our alert, in
dustrious cement-maker of any unrea-
sonabe cruelty if she, like us, insists
upon meat diet for her young, nor
need we have any fear of her sting, for
she seldom uses it as a weapon of Of
fense or se.-Indianapolis Snti-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets IN
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored TO Is normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine caseH out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.
We win give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

E. R. Dale Dead.


Marietta was greatly shocked satur-
day when the news of the death of E.
II. Dale was received.
Mr. Dale had left Marietta Friday
morning for an extended trip east--ex-
pecting TO go as far as Nova Scotia. and
to remain away about three weeks.
He was accompanied by his wife,
daughters Winifred and Grace and son
Harold. In the best of spirits, and
with Mr.. Dale in apparent good health,
the party left Marietta, and had pro-
ceeded as far on their journey as
Springfield Mass, when Mr.. Dale was
stricken with what is presumed to
have been apoplexy, dying instantly on
the train.
Mrs. Dale telegraphed DR.. Willis,
tn city, he receiving the message at
dinner time. The sad news quickly
spread, and in an hour his old friends
and business associates were apprsed
of the shocking facts
Miss Katharine Dale, the Oldest
daughter, was at JOY, Athens county,
yesterday, but was sent for and she re-
turned home last evening. Miss
Rachel, another daughter, has been at
Chautauqua for two weeks, but came
home yesterday.
BY good fortune Mr.. 4. j. Dale, only
brother of the deceased, was in the
east, and was quickly at hand to aid
the stricken family, and arrange for
the return home.
Mr.. Dale was born in Newport town
ship May Goth, 1S45, and spent his en-
tire life in this county, and was one of
its most widely known citizens. For
two years he was Quarter Master Sar-
geant of the 77th o. V. l., and was af-
terward clerk in the Quartermaster'
Department under Col r. M. Newport
After the war he went into the lrst
National Bank and remained there as
teller, assistant cashier and cashier
until 1885, since which time be has
engaged successfully in the oil bust
ness. His oil interests at JOY have
proved very valuable property.
Mr.. Dale was man of wide acquain-
tance, and had many friends. He was
much wrapped up in his family and
was a splendid neighbor. He will be
greatly missed by wide circle.
No word pertaining to arrangement
for the return home was received last
evening.
