Pettigrew was q republican the most

He C.shes Pay Checks.

New York pays its employees by
check. and each pay day sees a great
many men with their whole months
salary In their hand, but no money.
Various bankers whose places OF busi-
ness are near the city hall are willing
to cash the city's checks, but they
charge a commission, usually 10 cents
on each 800.
The proprietor OF saloon near the
city hall is willing TO cash the checks
without charging a commission, and on
pay days his establishment is jammed
with officials. He makes his profit on
the increased sale of liquids at his bar,
for no man after having his check cash
ed leaves the place without buying a
drink. The proprietor of the estab-
lishment provides against the city pay
day by drawing $4,000 from the bank
and hiring a man to take entire charge
of the check cashing business. Ere
quently the entire So. 900 is exchanged
for checks. When this happens, the
proprietor sends for more money. No
city employee asks to have his pay
check cashed and is not accommodate
ed, and the extra pay day sales at the
bar are a considerable feature of the
years trade.-New York Sun.

A Clever Dog.

There is more IN a dog than mans
philosophy accounts for. No theory
OF instinct--sometimes defined as a
faculty prior 10 experience and indie
pendent reason-will explain some ac-
tions OF clever dog whose case is
reported by a correspondent of the
London Spectator:
l knew a dog In Ireland-a retriever
who had been taught always 10 bring
his own tin dish in his mouth, to be
filed at the late dinner. For some
reason his master wished to make a
change and to feed him twice a day
instead OF once.
The dog resented this, and, when told
TO bring the dish, refused, and IL could
nowhere be found, on which his master
spoke angrily 10 him and ordered him
TO bring the dish at once.
With dropping tail and sheepish ex-
preston he went down the length Of
the garden and began scratching up
the soil, where he had buried the bowl
deep down to avoid having TO bring IL
at an hour Of which he did not ap-
prove.

HrfcIr Ten

Our endurance would be tested to
the breaking point were our only re-
source the brick tea OF Tibet, made
and favored after the true Tartar
recipe This tea, for the convenience
of porterage on camels, is made up
In the form Of hard, solid, bricklike
Jumps, which are supposed TO consist
OF the stems and leaves of our ordinary
tea plant But In the majority of cases
brick tea is merely the offscourings Of
the tea plantation, together with dust
and adulteration of endless other
plants. There is little of the crisp,
curly tea leaves to be found in these
Jumps.
When tea is TO be made, pieces are
Clipped off the bricks and immersed
in boiling water. The result is dark,
strong favored liquid, with harsh, un-
pleasant taste. One merit alone IL pos
sesses-it is undoubtedly stimulating.
The flavor Of the tea is not improved
either 10 our taste by the additions 10
it which the Tartar favors. Instead
of cream and sugar, mutton fat and
salt are usually considered the correct
things 10 add, and 1t can readily be
imagined that the beverage thus pro-
duced does not present any particular
attraction 10 Englishmen. - Good

The most amusing thing about that
psculiar bird the toucan was to see
him preparing to roost. and he began
quite early. while other birds were still
wide awake. The first thing was to
carefully cock up-for IL was q slow
and cautious proceeding-hi absurd
little scut of tail, which was only
about three or four inches long. This
must in some way have affected his
balance, for he never moved on the
perch after the tail had been laid care
fully back. Then, later In the even
ing, he gently turned the huge, un-
wieldy bill around by degrees until IL.
too, was laid along his back and buried
in feathers In the usual bird fashion.
BY the way, l have always wonder
ed how and why the myth arose that
birds sleep with their heads under their
wings. A moments thought or obser-
vation would show that II Is quite as
impossible a feat for a bird as for
human being.
However, the toucan's sleeping ar
rangements resulted In producing an
oval mass Of feathers supported on one
leg, looking as unlike q bird as II is
possible TO imagine. When he was
ruthlessly awakened by a sudden poke
or noise, which, l grieve to state. was
often done-in my absence, needless TO
say-I heard that he invariably tum-
bled down In sprawling heap, being
unable TO adjust the balance required
by the ponderous bill all in moment.

Crabs In OYSTERS.

"rhe demand for that little southern

which are daily required for flavoring

writer. "Our northern oysters do not
contain the little dainties, so l am
obliged to buy them from the oyster
shuckers along the York, Rappahan-
mock and other southern rivers. The
Chesapeake bay shore oystermen send
us some also.
"The little crab found in the oyster
is not, as commonly supposed by two
thirds of the oyster eating community,
the young of the blue crab, but is
distinct species. II is messmate of

being therefore a benefit instead of a
detriment TO the latter. In return for
the oysters kindness In protecting II
against its enemies the little crab

The State Ticket.


In spite of bitter fight and high feel
ing concerning the republican nomina-
tion for the governorship, the state con-
vention at Grand Rapids last week pro-
ceeded in a dignifed manner and without
unpleasant incident to make up state
ticket, and the result of their labors was
such as cannot fail to unite the republi-
can voters of the state solidly in support
of the ticket.
The True Northerner had choice as
to the man who should be nominated for
the governorship. The majority of tho
state convention was not of the same
opinion. Nevertheless, the man who
was nominated is in every way accepta-
BILE to the party, and would have been
the Northerner's second choice, as soon
as it was convinced that Mr.. Ferry's
nomination was not possible. We are
not in the slightest degree dissatisfied
with the result.
Aaron L. Bliss is one of Michigan's
representative and successful business
men. He is gentlemen. He is hon
ored and respected in the community
where he lives. He is stalwart repub-
lican. He is an old soldier, and proba-
bly, will be the last man who served in
the great war of the eos, who will be
called upon to take up the high duties
of the Office of governor of Michigan.
There is no factional fight in the party
against Mr.. Bliss. There is no reason
why he should not receive the solid sup
port of the party, and it is possible he is
the strongest candidate that could have
been named at Grand Rapids. No one
seems to be finding any particular fault
with the nomination.
In Van Buren, county, local pride has
been gratifed by the nomination of Hon.
Edwin A. Wildey for commissioner of
the state land office. This will un-
doubtedly add strength to the whole
ticket in this county, and have a tend
ency TO increase the already satisfactory
republican majority. The delegation in
true to Mr.. Wildey's interests, and its
members are entitled to credit for secur-
ing the nomintion.
Another nomination that is especially
satisfactory to The True Northerner is
that of the brilliant Perry +. Powers of
Cadillac for auditor general. He has
been wheel horse in the republican
ranks in past campaigns, both as a
newspaper writer and as a stump speaker
He is bound to make one of the best
officials the state ever had.
And so it is down through the ticket
The nominees are well distributed over
the state as to locality. There is not a
name on it that brings into the campaign
any objectionable personality, and every
one of the nominees is fully competent
for the duties Of the position to which
he has been nominated. The breath OF
scandal has never touched one of them
and the voters of the state will have
every confidence that in event of their
election, the men nominated at Grand
Rapids last week will give to the state a
clean, honest and economical admins
tration.
The True Northerner has not the
slightest doubt of the election of the
entire republican state ticket, and we
venture to predict republican majority
of not less than one thousand in Van
Buren county this fall.

papers of the United States are read. To
the exchange bureau of the Ladies

ployed constantly. By this plan it is
possible for the editors to keep in close
touch with the reading public, and ac-
curately informed as to the topics that
are uppermost in the public mind in
every section of the country. In this
reading, such selections are made as may
be of special immediate interest, as well
as matter for future reference and notes
