Poor Los Religious system.

So benign was the religious system
of the Indian that each department of
the animal kingdom was provided with
a little divinity to look after it's at
fairs. Thus the Spirit of the Great
Swan looked after all swans, the Spirit
Of the Great Turtle controlled all tur.
tledom, and so on through the list, ev-
cry kind Of an animal having its own
protecting spirit to guard its interests
and punish it's eenmies. These divini.
ties-who are under the control of the
Great Spirit-felt a great interest in
the human race, and any one of them
might become the protecting genius Of
any particular man.

THE BREEcHEs BUOY.
At Last Proper Respect Is Shown for
the Feelings of Women.

At Last Proper Respect Is Shown for
the Feelings of Women.
Boston sentiment, as reflected in cul
tured circles, has always set in strong
against the breeches buoy, says the
Marine Journal. AS a life-saving ap
paratus the breeches buoy has its
strong points, but there is a lack of
modesty about its operations that has
often brought the blush of shame to
the cheek of beauty on the Massachu-
setts coast. This rude device will do
well enough for saving the life of a
man, but the mere thought Of rescuing
been known to send a chill of horror
up and down the granite spine of Bunk
er Hill monument.
We are gratified beyond measure,
therefore, to record that Prof. Peabody.
of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nOlOgy, and the board of life-saving ex-
perts, Of which he is president, have
the breeches buoy. At the last meeting
of the board it was recommended that
canvas bag skirt be furnished all sta
tons, to be used hereafter in taking
women ashore from shipwrecks.
Whether the skirt is to be fiounced,
hang plain or bell shaped" is not
stated. The garment is not intended to
take the place of the breeches buoy,
though heavens knows the cause of
morality and good government would
be greatly advanced If something were
devised to supersede it. Therefore. the
b-s will be continued in use, shock
ing as the thought is, but the canvas
skirt will encircle both the BIS and
the woman, and, although the former
seizes the chaste limbs of the latter
with all the familiarity of an old friend,
the whole world may not look on and
i snicker.
This is a great and noble thought,
and does immense credit to the head
and heart of Prof. Peabody and his as
sociates. The feelings of a Boston
woman cannot be too much respected.
They are tender and easily wounded,
and the etiquette of shipwrecks has not
entered too soon into the midnight
studies of the deep thinkers and philoso-
the shameless BIS BY been per-
mitted to go it's indecorous way. Too
long has it's shrek of exultation been
heard above the storm when it saw a
ship drifting on the rocks. To be sure,
in case of accident, the breeches buoy
is still "there or thereabouts," but the
public does not know it.
That this innovation will be a good
thing for shipping interests goes with
out saying. There is no telling how
many Boston women have been deter
red from taking sea voyages through
the dreadful fear that a shipwreck
might throw them into the society of
the BIS BY. While they could,
with great effort. endure the thought
of falling into the arms of old Neptune,
or being ogled by bold mermen, the
bare thought of the BIS BY was
too much for them. Prof. Peabody and
his considerate associates deserve the
thanks of Boston women yet unborn.

favored centers the efforts of cooks are
directed chiefly to the concocting of
sundry fried messes that are interesting

Frencb Tobacco.

Many French medical men are aban-
doning the use of tobacco, owing large
ly to the government monopoly of that
commodity. According to the physi-
clans the cigars of the "Regie" (those
made at the government factories) are
so uniformly bad and the tax on all
other brands is SO prohibitive that the
only sensible thing to do is not to smoke
at all.

Hearts Are Still Trumps.

When eddycation makes man
Git so etarnal wise
That he can't bear ter walk about
In ordinary guise,
When he must wear a shiny hat
Ter keep his idees in,
1t seems ter me that Parnin' is
A folly an a sin.
I see the college chaps in town
A-swellin' round in style,
A-lookin' mighty dandi6ed,
As though they knew pile;
An then I read, when git hum,
O. how they've done some trick
That would have put ter shame ths
brains
o. any lunatic.
Sometimes see them college chaps
A-marchin' up and down
With nightdresses an nightcaps on
They call UNI cap an gown
An some Nv um go in for sports,
An some go in for canes;
1t makes you feel real sorrowful
That more don't try for brains.
My notion is that heart an head
Should both be uniform;
That when the head is made more wise
The heart should be more warm;
That eddycation should not make
A man stuck up SO far
That he would turn his nose up at
His daddy or his ma.
For 'hearts are trumps," that's what ]
say,
An though your head is full,
In heaven they won't take account
O. what is meath your wool;
An amt that just about the size
O. what the world complains?
1t wants more love an tenderness
More than it wants for brains.

ing the punishment Of the Chinese
officials responsible for the outrages
upon foreigners as a condition pre-
cedent to peace negotiations has
brought the Chinese trouble TO an
acute crisis as far as the United
States government is concerned.
This conclusion IS based upon the
belief in official circles thai the Chi
nese government cannot accept the
German proposition, so that 1t is
now for the United States govern
ment TO either withdraw Its forces
from China Immediately or to Join
Germany and England and perhaps
some other OF the allied powers in a

RIGHTS OF WAY
Have Been Filed by B. h 0. PeO-
ple For the Line In COlum-
biana County.

In confirmation of the article pub
lished in Mondays News-Democrat,
comes the news from Lisbon that seven
rights of way have been filed with Re-
corder Crosser which were taken out
by the Canton and East Liverpool Rail-
road Co., in December, 1895. These doc
uments cover the ground between
Smiths Ferry, Pa, on the river, and
Kensington, by way Of West Point.
This company has sold its franchises
to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad COM
pany, who filed the papers and are now
making new survey.
The East Liverpool Crisis says of the
development: "The fact that the
rights of way filed with the recorder
for record cover the entire extent of
Columbiana county in almost a direct
line for Canton is proof of the state
ment that that city is the objective
point of the Baltimore & Ohio people in
their trunk line system. An outlet from
Canton can be secured over the Cleve-
land Terminal G. Valley road, which is
low the property of the B. & o.
1T will not be long, in all probability,
before the rights of way through the
other counties along the proposed
route of the new line will be filed for
record with the recorders Of the re-
spective counties. The news of the sell
ing Of the franchise of the old Canton
& East Liverpool road by Harry Frease
was received with pleasure by the bus
mess men and citizens generally in this
vicinity, and it is taken as meaning that
the new line is q CO."
