"Daniel Webster, when at his home at
Marshfleld, would never speak on poll
tics when here, but he would talk to
the assembled neighbors and guests on
matters pertaining to farming. On one
occasion some Boston friends present
ed him with an enormous pillow to use
on his farm. Webster gave out word
that on a certain day it would be chris
tened. The day arrived, and the sur
rounding farmers for miles came to
witness the event. A dozen teams
with aristocratic occupants came down
from Boston. 1t was expected by ev-
cry one that Webster would make
great speech on the occasion, review
ing the history of farming back to the
time when Cincinnatus abdicated the
most mighty throne in the world to
cultivate cabbages in his Roman gar
den.
"The pillow was brought out, and ten
yoke of splendid oxen were hitched in
front. More than two hundred people
stood around on the tiptoe of expecta-
ton. Webster soon made his appear
ance. He had been calling spirits from
the vastly deep, and his gait was some
what uncertain. Selling the plow
handles and spreading his feet he yell
ed to me in his deep bass voice:
"'Are you ready, Wrightr
".AH ready, Mr.. Webster was the
reply, meaning, Of course, for the
speech.
webster Strengthened himself up by
a mighty effort and shouted:
""Then let her rip"
"The whole crowd dropped to the
ground and roared with laughter,
while Webster, with his big pillow, pro-
ceeded to rip up the soil. The same
pillow can now be seen on top of the
Faneuil Hall market in Boston and Is
a conspicuous object for miles around"

When the nineteenth century was as
yet only half grown, senators applied
customarlly for their toddies at the so
called Hole In the Wall, small circu-
lar room just off the postoffice of the up
per house. The latter body, as will be
remembered, then occupied what Is
now the chamber of the supreme court,
and the postoflice was across the main
corridor Of the building on the same
floor. When wearer of the toga
found himself in need Of "shifter," he
had only to cross over to the mails
department and pass through it to
the little circular room aforesaid,
which was about the size of pantry.
The Hole In the Wall was the first
senate restaurant, and the bill Of fare
for edibles was short, though to the
point. There were ham, guaranteed to
have been smoked for six months.

net; likewise corned beef and bread

What Russia Is Like,

In Russia everything is large and
everything is loud. Moscow is like an
immense village, and everything in it
is built broad, not high, because there
is so much space to cover. The public
squares, unpaved and surrounded by a
little rim of cobbles, are as big as
meadows. The arcades and passages,
with their cellars below, their shops
above, their glass roofs, are SO enor-
des Panoramas and the Burlington
Arcade and the galleries at Milan with
out filling more than corner of them.
Colors shrek and flame; the Mus
eovite eyes sees only by emphasis and
by contrast red is completed either by
another red or by bright blue. There
are no shades, no reticences, no mod
ulatjons. The restaurants are filled
with the din of vast mechanical or
gans, with drums and cymbals; great
bell clashes against a chain on all the
trans to clear the road; the music
which one hears is ferocity of brass.
The masons who build the houses
build in top boots, red shirts and pink
trousers; the houses are painted red
or green or blue; the churches are like
the temples of savage idols, tortured
into every unnatural shape and colored
with glaring color. Bare feet, osier
sandals and legs swathed in rags pass
to and fro among the top boots Of the
middle classes, the patent leather boots
of the upper classes, like the inner
savagery of a race still so near barbar-
ism, made evident in that survival Of
the footgear of primitive races.-Satur-
day Review.

One Of the most important figures at
a Gaelic funeral of the old style Is the
sin eater. 1t falls to his lot to con-
sumo all the sins resting on the soul of
the dead, and thereby enable the latter
to rest easy In his grave.
In remote Wales and the highlands
of Scotland a funeral is not always
complete without this functionary. He
is necessarily a poor, unfortunate per-
son, for under happier circumstances
he could not be persuaded to accept the
responsibility of his post, and his part
In the ceremony Is taken seriously by
himself and everybody else.
A loaf Of bread and jug Of beer are
laid upon the corpse. These are SYM
bolic of sins committed during life.
The sin eater is introduced and with
much solemnity eats the bread and
drinks the beer. As he is frequently
hungry man with a well developed
taste for malt liquors, the part Is usual
ly played with zest little out Of keep
Ing with the dreadful nature Of the
obligation assumed, for 1t Is firmly be-
lieyed that In thus eating and drinking
the sin eater actually burdens his soul
with the sins of the deceased

A mans thighs interest me in any
mood and at any time. While you may
get mans character from his face,
you can, If you will, get his past life
from his thigh. 1t is the walking beam
Of his locomotion, controls his paddles
and is developed in proportion to its
uses. 1t indicates, therefore, mans
habits and his mode of life.
If he has sat all day with one leg lap
ped over the other, arm on chair, head
on hand, listening or studying-preach-
ers, professors and all other sedenta-
ries sit like this-then the thigh
shrinks, the muscles droop, the bones
of the ankle bulge, and the knee joints
push through. If he delivers mail or
collect bills or drives a pack mule or
walks a towpath, the muscles Of the
thigh are hauled tight like cables, the
knee Of knots-one big bunch just be-
low the strap of his knickerbockers,
should he wear them.
II he carries big weights ON his back
sacks of salt, as do the stevedores in
Venice; or coal in gunnies, as do the
coolies in Cuba, or wine casks or coffee
In bags-then the calves swell abnor-
mally, the thighs solidify; the lines of
beauty are lost, but the lines Of
strength remain.
If, however, he has spent his life in
the saddle, rounding up cattle, chasing
Indians, hunting bandits in Mexico,
ankle and foot loose, his knees clutched
tightly, hugglng that other part of him,
the horse, then the muscles of the
thigh round out their intended lines
the most subtle in the modulating curv-
Ing Of the body.-F. Hopkinson Smith

About our Townships.

The official vote of this county was
given in these columns last week. The
figures bringing out some interesting
facts. Cameron township shows itseli
to be the strongest republican township
in the county, 70 per cent of its votes
being republican this year. That il
nearly three fourths of them. Douglas
comes next with CT per cent republican,
then Oakfeld with 66t per cent, Mel.
vile SO, Greeley SO, Leroy So, Ardu.
bon Sc, Extra "a, Sharon "a the frac.
ton being little lesslthan Extra, Lin.
coin SO, Viola 50 and Hamlin 81. Thus
it is seen that several of the townships
are very close in comparative republi-
can strength.
We also noticed that Sharon town
ship made the best per cent of gain OF
republican votes cast the previous year,
gaining 81 votes or nearly 33 per cent.
Audubon is next gaining 20 votes, or
20 per cent. Then comes Douglas
gaining 20 votes or nearly 20 per cent
Extra gained 40 or II per cent. Lincoln
gained Is votes ar IA percent. Melville
gained ~ votes or 10 per cent. Viola
gained 9 votes or nearly 10 per cent.
Cameron gained 8 votes or nearly 8 per
cent. Oakfeld gained 3 votes or little
more than 2 per cent. Hamlin cast
Just the same number republican votes
The only townships that polled less
republican votes than the year before
were Greeley and Leroy. Greeley re-
publcans cast votes less making
about per cent of loss while Leroy
cast Ii votes less or a loss OF frac-
tion over per cent. In some of these
townships the republican vote of 80
was not as well out as it ought to have
been which left better chance for a big
gain this year. In several of them the
democrats lost over last year. However
in the whole county they gained 10
votes, or one and one half per cent. In
the county the republicans gained l64
votes or about 10 per cent.
