The Remedy.

The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg
was one day gambling at the Doberan
tables and was betting on the same
numbers as rich master potter who
stood next to him.
Both having lost their money, the
grand duke inquired, "Well, potter,
what shall we do nowY
"Oh," replied the master potter
"your highness will screw up the taxes,
and | shall make pots"

ANOTHER COMPLAINT.

j. w. Corbett, who has been before
the Council on several occasions, ap-
peared again last night to call the at
tention of the body to the conditions
existing on Furnace ST., in the vlcin-
ity of his place of business, at the COR
ner Of Summit st. He claims that
because of the sidetrack, built by the
A. & c. Il. II. Il. company, he has been

to that institution. He is losing his
mind as result of his confinement
and the sympathy of the officials has
been aroused in his behalf. They will
join in petition asking the Board to
grant Cotell pardon. ThIs\petition
will be presented at the next session
of the Board
During a recent visit of an Akron
man to the penitentiary he asked about
Cotell. He was told that the prisosaer
had become simply a machine. He
pays no attention to anything but his
work never looking either to the right
or left Every visitor VINO passes
through the prison is struck by the alb
solute blankness in CoteIrs face. He
does not seem to realize anythiSG that
goes on around him. It is believed that
he will become an absolute imbecile
unless he is released from the prison.

CANNOT LEVY TAX.
Solicitor Esgate made known his
opinion in reference to the assessment
of special tax for the purpose Of
wiping out the $4,000 Indebtedness
of the City hospital. He holds that
it is not within the province of the
! Council or Commissioners TO do So
The statutes prohibit the city entering
into contract with a semi7public in
stitution. The present contract that
the city has with the hospital he be-
lieves is unlawful, The city has no
right in the hospital and can dictate
nothing rs to it's management. The
eity he thought could make new con-
tract by which it would agree to pay
so much per day for the care of the
sick and injured. 1t could make this
amount as it saw fit. He found no
law which authorized the levying OF
Il tax.

now Slste PenelIs are Made

Slate pencils were formerly al cut
from solid slate Just as 1t Is dug from
the earth, but pencils 50 made were OBJ
jected to on account OF the grit which
they contain. and which would scratch
the slate. To overcome this difficulty.
Col D. II. Stewart, OF Chattanooga.
Tenn, devised and patented an In
genlous process by which the Glate Is
ground to q very fine powder, al grit
and foreign Substances removed, and
the powder bolted through silk cloth
in much the same manner as -four h
bolted. The powder q then made into
q dough, and this dough Ia subjected to
a very heavy hydraulic pressure, which
presses the pencil out the Pequ1ed
shape and diameter, but IN lengths OF
about three feet. While YET soft the
pencils are cut into the desired lengths
and set out to dry-h the open cir. AZ
ter they aDe thoroughly dry the pencils
are placed IN sseam baking kilns, where
kh1g receive the proper temper. Pen
els made In this manner are not only
free from all git, and Of uniform hard
ness, bvt are stronger than those cut
out Of the SOLID slate. For these res
sons they have entirely superseded the
old kiud-Tbe. Manufacturer.

fingers were made before forks
and IL 10 generally understood that, In
spite OF the ever-multiplying variety

it Is far better to eat with the fingers.
While a few independent people dare
Get aside the fashionable proprieties,
many others will do as they know they
are expected. As rule, sugar tongs
are passed with block sugar, but, as a
diner out once said, 81 prefer to use
my fingers, for If you are not just so
careful It drops with splurge, which

Olives should be eaten with the

foolish. When passed they should de

Bread, toast and all kinds Of small

latter.
At the most fashionable IuDoheons
