SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov. 2e.-The Hon.
Clement Studebaker rested comfortably last
night, but in spite of this his condition to-
day was extremely critical. 1t was evident
hat he was much weaker and that only
a miracle would bring about his recovery.
AS the day wore on he grew weaker and by
noon was wholly unconscious, seemingly
sleeping, life ebbing away calmly and
peacefully. This afternoon at A o'clock it
was announced that Mr.. Studebaker's con-
0ition remained practically unchanged. He
was unconscious and gradually failing and
it seemed he would not survive more than
one or two hours.
At 6 O'Clock Mr.. Studebaker surprised
his physicians by recovering consciousness,
and he recognized the members of his fam
lily This period, however, lasted only eight
minutes, and the end is in sight.

The Colonies Interpretation.

Col. Ebenezer Sproat, Of Revolution
airy fame, was born and bred in Mid
Ileborough, Mass. He was always fond
of joke, and was quick to seize an
opportunity to indulge his propensity,
as the following incident, related by
Doctor Hildreth, well illustrates. His
father, also a Colonel Sproat, kept a
tavern. One day while Ebenezer was
at home on a furlough, three private
soldiers, on their return from the seat
of war, called for cold luncheon.
Mrs. Sproat set on, the table some
bread and cheese with the remnants Of
the family dinner, which her son
cry men. He felt little vexed that
the defenders of the country were not
more bountifully served. The soldiers,
after satisfying their appetites, asked
him how much they should pay. Eben-
ezer said he would ask his mother.
He found her in the kitchen.
Mother" he said, how much is 1t
worth to sell those bones?"
About a shilling, l guess" she an
swered.
The young officer returned to the SOL
diers, and taking from the barroom
till three shillings, and smiling genial
ly upon them, gave each man one, and
with good wishes sent them on their
way. Mrs. Sproat soon after came in,
and asked Ebenezer what he had done
with the money for the soldiers din
ners.
In apparent amazement he ex-
claimed, Money! Did l not ask you
what it was worth to pick those bones,
and you said shilling? l thought it
little enough, for the bones were pref
ty bare, and l handed the men the
money from the till, and they are
gone"
Mrs. Sproat could not find heart to
reprove her favorite son for this mis-
Interpretation of her words, and then
she, too, loved joke, and so, after an
instant's glum look, she laughed and
said it was all right.

SOME BAD BREAKS.

To toast youth" where women of
uncertain age predominant.
To gush. The being who faces about
on all necks has strangling possibili-
ties.
To pretend. Age has given the
world wisdom and a keen eye for
shams.
To protest too much. The obvious
refutes doubt, and goodness needs no
placard.
To write a social letter to a man
and ask him to reply. Doors are not
in society.
To seek favor. Merit is self-evident.
Mediocrity seldom achieves, socially
or otherwise.
To ride ones hobby horse around
the dining table, to the confusion OF
ones hostess.
To ignore ones humble friends for
ones smart acquaintances. Fortune
plays madcap FRANKS.
To boast of our own. Human ma
ture repeats itself and family preju-
dice is never convincing.
To be inquisitive. No one cares for
a human interrogation point, and who
asks all shall know nothing.
To be too anxious to shine, glitter
and glare, conversationally, Is not the
highest proof of clever polish.

The man, with a grmace of humili-
alton, mounted his animal and rode
away. We were glad enough to see the
last of him.

FORECAST OF FASHIONS.

The white pique skirt is still eonsId-
cred indispensable to the summer
girls wardrobe.
The low couture with parted hair is
being revived. and is especially pretty
for young girls.
A fashionable trimming is quilted
satin ribbon, to take place of the NOUS
seline de sole ruchings.
Plated skirts are everywhere and
many of the satin, taffeta and peau
de sole boleros are plated to corre-
spond.
Crepe wells are made of a much
lighter weight Of crepe than formerly,
and they are worn on hats as well
as on bonnets.
The bolero has become a prominent
feature OF the dinner and ball gown.
and, in fact, figures on all sorts and
conditions of gowns.
Varying shades Of one color are
more sought by modistes and MILL
ners this season than striking con-
trasts Of other description.
Linen lawn, butchers linen, linen

The grand procession marched all arrow
Through the town In brave array,
But somebody else enjoyed the show
A thousand times more than they.
On his gallant steed rode the captain
bold,
A splendid sight to see.
But somebody else IL the truth were told,
Had prouder Fourth than he.
And the band, too, all the afternoon
Discoursed its music sweet,
But somebody's feet played a merrier
tune
Az they followed It down the street.
And the brightest thing that glorious day
Was dear little freckled face
That peeped from under the curls astray
And the torn hats Jaunty grace.
For when we measure delight and JOY,
This rule is the surest one:
That the very tiniest little boy
Holds the largest share OF fun.

BITS OF INFORMATION.

New Zealand's crown lands are now

Boston owes s105.72 per inhabitant;
Montreal owes $92; Cincinnati owes
$50. Other American and Canadian
cities owe less.

A July 4fb DanSer.

1t seems a pity that some way Of
celebrating the Fourth of July can
not be found that will give the
youngsters as much pleasure as the
present noisy proceedings furnish,
without all the suffering and loss of
life which these noisy proceedings al
ways entail. The Chicago Tribune,
last July, published some figures gath
cred by its correspondents throughout
the country, which figures showed a
loss of one hundred and forty-one
lives as a result of the celebration Of
the Fourth. A good many battles are
fought with no greater mortality than
that.
OF these one hundred and forty-one
deaths eighty-three were from lock-
jaw.
This disease is caused by a germ
which exists in the soil in many parts
of the country, and which develops
rapidly when introduced into wounds.
II requires peculiar conditions for. its
growth, however. One of these is that
the air shall not have free access to
II.
There is very little danger of lock-
jaw, therefore, in a clean-cut, open
wound, and as rule, it is only deep
and jagged wounds that are followed
by the disease.
Wounds of this kind are produced by
stepping on nails or splinters of wood,
by crushing injuries, and especially by
Fourth of July casualties caused by
toy pistols, exploding cannon crackers,
torpedo bombs and other dangerous
noise-makers. Explosions from these
things tear the flesh and so maDgle It
as to produce innumerable little hooks
where the germ may grow, we'll shell
tered from light and air.
The wounds are almost inevitably
contaminated with dirt, which is ground
into them by the same force that pro-
duces them, and this dirt may contain
the tetanus bacillus.
The surgeon who is called to see such
a wound is kind only when he Is most
cruel; for he should cut ruthlessly In
every direction, exposing the entire
surface of the wound 10 the air. leav-
ing no pockets that can retain the Sc
cretions and give opportunity for the
fatal germs 10 grow.

Good Advice to Goat breeders.

Don't get too many goats to start with
and IL you want to stay in the business.
don't buy wethers and does mixed. II
you cannot keep them in separate pas
lures. Don't breed your does to a kid
buck just because he is cheap. Don't
have your kids come at all times in win
ter; April, or even May. is soon enough.
Don't think that the little red lice
which you find on the goats are es-
sential to a good growth of mohair, but
dip the goats In some reliable dip; Il
will knock the lice and save goats.
Don't think that because they are fond
of brush that they will fatten when the
shadows of the bushes rest on them, or
when there are plenty of bushes just
across the fence for them to look at.
Don't be afraid to change. them from
one pasture to another, the fresh feed
won't hurt them a bit. Don't get mad
II your hired man leaves the orchard
gate open; the fruit trees won't hurt the
goats. Don't try to keep goats, unless
you have perpendicular fences, which
should be at least three feet high, of
any material. Don't believe the man
who tells you that goats are immune
regarding disease and vermin. Don't

yearling past, and after getting your
good buck, don't expect him to rough IL
through in a new climate and then
shear heavy fleece. Don't expect to
raise kid for every doe If the pasture
has an old SOW or two in 1t, as kids ere
fancy hog feed Don't expect your mo-
hair to bring the highest price II II Is
full OF burrs and straw, or II II is full
of kemp. Don't think because you have
read a few books on goats and handled
them a year or two that you cannJt
learn something new. Don't ask advice
from an experienced man and then try
some theory of your own. Don't think
that because they will eat all kinds of
rough feed that good. nutritious feed
will hurt them. Don't expect a breeder
of fine bucks who advertises at a fixed
price to make an exception of you ard
give you rebate-better send more
than the regular price for a better goat.
Don't expect any breeder to tell you sn
about the business and IL he says he
can, don't believe him.-George A.
