1t was currently rumored yesterday
that there will be a third candidate In
the field for city land appraiser. 1t is
said $he friends OF A. T. Dinsmore, Of
the Fifth ward, are urging him to per-
NIT his name to be used in that con-
uection and that there is some Hkeli-
hood of his consenting. If such a
course were pursued it would be neces-
sary for the new candidate to have his
name attached to the ballot by means Of
stickers. Mr.. Dinsmore was a promi-
nent candidate for the nomination be-
fore the Republican primaries and at
forwards made a contest for the place
before the county executive committee
ghen the appointment was made.
Yesterday two suits were filed
against the Wheeling Street Railway
Company in Squire Kellar's court. The
plea fer damage is similar to that made
In two other cases recently heard at
Bellaire, in each of which plaintiffs
were given verdict, but one of the
cases has since been appealed. The
suits filed yesterday are those Of Flor
snce Blankinsop and Miss Moore. They
each ask $500 indemnity for being
elected from a car after having paid
their fare some weeks ago. The date
for hearing is set for November 9Th.

Whoever between noon and night is
able to pass through this opening is as

An Eve Easily blinded.

Here is a funny little story from far
away Ceylon. A tea planter who had
glass eye was desirous of going away
with friend, but he knew that as soon
as the natives who were at work on
the plantation heard that he had gone
they would not do a stroke of work.
How was he to get off? That was the
question. After much thought an idea
struck him. Going up to the men, he
addressed them thus:
Although | myself will be absent,
yet shall leave one of my eyes to see
that you do your work"
And much to the surprise and be-
wilderment of the natives he took out
the glass eye and placed it on the
stump of a tree and left. For some
time the men worked like beavers.

at the eye TO see if it was still watch

A Lively Barrel.

An actor tells of a tragic experience
he had while playing In Il little town in
southern Texas. In one of the scenes
of the play. in which he acts the viii
lain. he hides himself In n barrel. that
he may listen to a conversation be-
tween the hero and heroine. whose fu-
tIre well being he is trying to destroy.
In the town hall there was little if any
property" material. y barrel would
do TO conceal himself in. so n hired
hand was sent out to find one. He
succeeded.
The time came for the actor to do his
part. He slipped in the barrel with
ease. The man and the woman ap-
peared. and while they were in the
midst of an animated conversation
there came n howl from the barrel that
fairly shook the rafters. This was fol
lowed by the eavesdIopper crawling
out with his hands To his face. and he
in turn was followed by a swarm of
wasps. The wasps got among the
stage people and those in the audience
which created so much confusion that
the show was broken up.-Galveston

See How Long You VIII Live.

There is very simple rule for find
ing the average number of years which
persons of any age may expect TO live.
If the present age be deducted from
50, two-thirds of the remainder is the
answer required. This result is not
absolutely accurate, but it is near
enough. For instance, a man aged 20
might by this rule expect TO live 40
years longer, which is just what the
latest actuarial tables give. At 40 the
expectation of life works out ut nearly
~ years, while the tables give it as
more than % years. At 30 the above
rule allows just over Is years, and the
table shows Il little less.

Unvnriad diet.

An amusing story is told of an old

than food and was bound to have his
diet according to his taste. 1t was in
the days when British soldiers pro-

the daily mess was instituted. 1t was

Many birds form their sounds with
out opening their bills. The pigeon is
j well known instance of this Its
cooling can be distinctly heard, al
though il does not open its bill. The
call is formed internally in the throat
and chest and is only rendered audible
by resonance. Similar ways may be
observed in many birds and other ami
mails The clear, loud call of the
cuckoo. according to one naturalist, is
the resonance of note formed in the
bird. The whirring of the snipe, which
betrays the approach of the bird to the
hunter. is an act of ventriloquism.
Even the nightingale has certain notes
which are produced internally and
which are audible while the bill is
closed.
