"The use of slang" says George
Eliot, denotes poverty Of thought" IL
promotes thoughtlessness in speech and
lays no solid foundation for written
language.
One would hardly think that among
the most delightful Of literary occupa-
lions Is the perusal Of sale catalogues
Of books. 1t opens a wide and sugges-

There will be presented next season
another book-play, and one that is said
to have all the marks Of success about
it. 1t is from Uncle Terry. by Charles
Clark Mum. The characters in the
book are all taken from people who are
alive to-day, and Uncle Terry himself,
light housekeeper in Maine, Is plain,
homely, lovable man-all Of which
make the book so popular.
Books wind into the heart. We read
them when young, we remember them
when old. We read there of what has
happened to others. Even here, on

They sit with me at breakfast; they
walk out with me before dinner; and

let us into the souls of men, and lay
open to us the secrets of our own. They
are the first and last. the most home
felt, the most heartfelt Of all our en-
joyments.-William Hazlitt.-

Thank God

He lost his little brothers ball,
And said he didn't mean it,;
He broke his little sisters doll,
OF course, he didn't mean it,;
He pushed his playmate from the fence,
They found hopeless cripple there,
But everyone with common sense
That ever heard Of that affair
Was sure he didn't mean il"
He broke girls poor, trusting heart
OF course, he didn't mean it,;
He played a reckless, wretched part,
But then he didn't mean it,;

She filed an early grave, but they,
OF course, knew he was not to blame
He said he didn't mean it."

Washington, Nov. Z7.-Th'
sbove table shows the amount d
bounty money 20 Admiral Dewey
for his brave victory a, Mania; r
Sampson, Commsnder-in-C Chief al
the battle Of Santiago, and to Resi
Admiral Schley, who had com
mand Of the second division 81 the
feet and who smas ned the squad
ron Of Cervera.
These figures illustrate one point
in the importance Of the conten-
ton, that Rear Admiral Schley
was the actual commandments
At the battle Of Santiago. The
matter and proportion Of bounty
money are settled by the Revised
Statutes.
Observation-Disclosures gets
one-tweutieth Of the whole amount
OF bounty money, and the com.
mander Of a division, such as Ad-
miral Schley, receives only one
fiftieth part Of the amount award
ed to the vessels comp osing his
division.
Admiral Dewey was in sole com
mand and the bounty money was
about $4,000 Had the Spanish
squadron at Manila been 'supe-
rior" force he would have receiv-
ed twice as much, as in the latter
case the calculation is $500 for
each man on board the opposing
squadron, instead Of 500.
Sampson received enc twentieth
part Of the whole amount and
Schley has received so far only
he fiftieth part Of the amount APP
)ortioned to his division, which,
according to the figure obtai-
nee here, must have been only so,
900.
The small amount which Adj
miral Schley has received shows
the absurdity of the statement re-
Gently printed widely that Admi-
raj Schley would have to give mp.
'the $4,000 he received in boun-
y money" TO the lawyers who de
ENDED him ann to pay the expen-
ses Of the trial.

The Coal Trade.

Inactivity still churacterizes the BIZ
luminous trade. On the part of consum-
ers who usually contract ahead there is
little disposition to do so, preferring to
buy from hand to mouth Some very
low offerings of coal are being made,
and of very fair grades at that. Tide
water business is still dull. The receipt
of coal at New England ports appears
to be much as usual for the season, but
much of the coal is for railroad use.
The demand for factory use is very linn
tied. AS before noted in this cores

Snake in His Mouth.

The West Branch Valley railroad has
furnished many snake stories this sum
mer, but the boss snake yarn comes from
the Dismal Swamp, II miles from Kar-
thaus. The outcome was the death of
Grant Wilkins, negro about 35 years
old.
Wilkins was in the swamp seeking
shingle timber. Becoming tired and hun.
CRY it is supposed, he sat down by u big
juniper tree to take his midday meal and
fell asleep. When found wilkins was
dead, and his limbs gave evidence of con
vulsions. BY his side was beer bottle
and sardine box. A 3-root section Of {
live black snake was hanging from th,
dead mans mouth. Half as much NOR,
was inside II was hard pull for two
men to extract the reptile, which was
killed with club.
It is supposed that Wilkins slept will

to investigate the hole. Another theor!
is that 1t was attracted by the sardines

gregations are made up mostly OF the
fair sex and why not allow them to be
useful as well as ornamental in the sane

introduce this new order of things there
would be better attendance of the
male portion of humanity at the preach
ing service.
