The people of indianapolis are wax
ing up to the fact that they are squan-
dering natural gas at a fearful rate and
that the source will eventually give ont.
One of the papers there calls attention
to the fact that many families let it
burn all the time rather than take the
trouble to turn it off. One visitor at a
hotel relates that he desired to turn off
the gas burning in the stove in his
sleeping room, but finding no means Of
doing so he rang the bell, when a col
ored servant responded, to whom he
made known his wants. "Why, boss, ;"
said the servant, 'dat gas amt bin
turned off for six months. Burning
all the time, night and day, Sundays
and allf" eyes, sab, plenty o gas
heah-just comes right up out O. the
yearth.

Nstbetic Decadence.

A 20. erie of crazy aesthetics has under.
takeL to revive in Paris the Egyptian
worship Of Isis. and it is to be regretted
that the names of several American wo.
men are mixed up in the ridiculous
scheme One of them is the we'll known
Miss Blake Of Boston, the friend of the
Countess Coetlogon, also well known in
New York, at one time conspicuous
figure in the group of which the Count
ess de Trobriand and Mrs Paran Ste
vens were the most prominent. The prof.
ect to revive the worship of Isis is an
aesthetic fad, but it has signifcances
that reach beyond the intentions Of
these silly sensa ton seekers Strictly
speaking, Isis worship is the COW wor-
ship in Egypt, and its rites and cere-
monies have marked the decadence of
more than one nation. They were in
troduced into Rome, and produced such
gross immortality that they were sup
pressed by the government. During the
latter days of the republic. edicts were
Issued that brought about the destruc-
ton of the Egyptian temples in the in
terest of public decency. Under Tiberi-
as the worship again crept into Ro-
man society through the favor of pam
pered patrician women, who went so
far as to dress up a man and attempt to
pass him off as the god Anubis For
more than three centuries Rome strug-
gled against the degrading invasion of
this Egyptian abomination. The satires
Of Juvenal frequently allude to the
gross immortality practiced in the tenn
pies of Isis and Scraps. The resurgenca
of this primitive superstition in Paris
indicates only the restlessness of NOR
bidly aesthetic minds, hunting through
the tombs of the past for new sensa
ton. Paris has had its sects of Neo-Pa-
gans and Zoroastrians, and at one time
there was an attempt made to revive in
some dark corner the worship of silva
and Astarte. Babylon, Antioch, Pom
peii and Egypt were searched for print
tive decisions and antique excuses for
fresh exhibitions of sensuality in the
guise of art or religion.

THE United States is now the largest
exporter in the world. Despite the as
sertion that a protective tariff would
iniure our markets abroad. our expor-
tations have gone steadily on, gaining
upon those of free-trade Great Britain
until we have outstripped her in the
race. The exports from the United
States in 1898 We're, for the first time
in history, greater than the exports
from Great Britain, while the growth
of our exports since the adoption of the
protective tariff has been far greater
than that of the mother country. An
examination of the record of the past
thirty years-fOr it would be unfair to
include the period of 1861 to 1868,
which was so much affected by the
civil war-would show that our own
exports have more than quadrupled,
whole those of Great Britain have in
creased but about 40 per cent. Our ex-
ports of domestic manufactures in 1868
amounted to $3.50, 3S9, 200, and in 1898
to 81 ,2l0, 291 ,913. Those of the United
Kingdom were in 1868, e179,67 ,Ol2,
and in 1885, e233, 800, 1872. That we
should have doubled our exports more
than twice during thirty years of
practically all protection, with Great
Britain increased hers less than half
during thirty years of free trade, ought
to forever silence those who have been
asserting that protection is injurious TO
the foreign commerce of tie country
adopting it.

A Wonderful Occurrence.

A very wonderful account of iustanta-
Beous healing, was told us, that oc-
enrued in Fremont township, less than
Ten miles from Tresco.
AasHbstantial farmer and early settler
ofthat locality is the fortunate man; we
tell the tale rs It was related to us, by
member of his family:
For more than twenty years the
farmer has had painful sore on one of
his legs below the knee; it discharged
no freely as to require frequent dressing.
The Last time he dressed it there was
no sign of healing. He went out to
work around his barn-yard, and
realized peculiar sensation coming
apon MIN and that his legs were numb
below the knees; he started to the
hnuse, and just as he reached the door
he lost consciousness and fell to the
ground.
He does, not know how long he re-
NAMED IN this state, but thinks it was
less sthan thirty minutes. When he
recovered he returned to his work
feeling as well as usual. He accidently
struck his diseased leg against board,
and 1t did not hurt, surprising him
much, as for many years slight touch
upon the sore caused him intense pain
but his surprise was magnified when he
examined the sore, to find it healed and
That only discolored scar was left to
show where the cause of so many years
Dfpain had been only that morning, as
Angry as ever. -Ho,0ard County Times

last year in consequence of winter kill
ing of wheat and clover and the unfa-
vorable conditions for early seeding of
small grain. Theespring pig crop is
likely to be much lighter than usual.

Arrested On Suspicion.

On Wednesday night of last week,
Frank Weber's meat shop was broken
into and $3.45 in small change was
taken. The number and denomination
of the coins taken was as follows
One so cent piece, two 25 cent pieces,
eleven dimes, twenty nickles and thir-
ty-five pennies. Marshal Dye has been
at work on the case and found that
William Mcintosh, young colored
man, displayed handful of such mon
ey in a restaurant a day or two after
ward and spent some change in sa-
loon also.
AS some of the money spent was
marked and answered the description
of that stolen, Marshal Dye was led to
believe that Mcintosh was the thief
and accordingly arrested him on sus-
plcion. The Marshal also suspects
Mcintosh as being the party who rob-
bed Haas's store Monday night. Nc
Intosh will have hearing in the near
future
