The blood is a very river Of human
life, its pulmonary and systematic cir
culations constituting an intricate net
work OF canals, making the body a sort
of corporal Amsterdam or human Ven
Ice, writes George Dana Boardman In
Ethics of the Body" Each corpuscle
is a barge, moving with varying rates
of speed in different parts of the body,
toiling through the c~apillaries at the
rate of two inches a minute. rushing
through the arteries at the rate of from
twelve to twenty feet a second, cease
lessly carrying on the organic functions
of the body by perpetually exchanging
freight, depositing at the depot of this
and that tissue oxygen and taking UP
dioxide of carbon. What money is to
society that blood is to the body. 1t Is
the means of exchange or the circulat-
ing medium.

ELMER.

Harry Rstes, formerly of Elmer, is now
operating a saw mill in the Bear Swamp
near Haleyville, which he purchased of
Crane Bros, in April. He is now ship
ping nine cars Of saw dust each week to
Perth Amboy. He still has about 80 car
loads of saw dust, the accumulation of
several years.
w. S. Ginnet and family and Job
Gamble started on Monday for Anacordes.
| Washington a journey of over 5000 miles.
They will go by way of Niagara Falls
where they will spend a day and will also
stop off 4S hours in Chicago. Mr.. Gin
nets father has gold and copper mines in
Washington and Mr. Ginnet maj assist in
operating them.
Isaac Davis, of Daretown, had an old
family horse which had become incapa-
citated by age SO tina they were obliged to
kill 1t. Mr.. Davis hired some one to do
the deed, and the horse was buried in
Lewis Isaac's woods. Some one dug up
the body of the horse and took the hide
off and sold 1t for $3.50. Now there is a
threatened lawsuit unless the price of
the hid is paid to the owner of the
horse.
! Three ladies on South Main street had
a narrowing experience Wednesday of last
/ week. Armed with a room they labored
about two hours trying to kill a poor
little black snake but the snake was one
too many for them and still roamsa at his
own sweet will under the porticoes and
lawns in that neighborhood. A woman
with a broom or hairpin can defend
herself against almost any foe excepting
a snake or a mouse but at the sight of
either her bravery usually instantly van-
ishes and the enemy holds the fort.
DR.. Lummis came to Elmer one day
last week with a minister's hat on,
and before going into his office he stopped
in Lawyer Edmunds' office, which is next
door to the doctors. When the doctor left
to go in his office he forgot the hat, which
in the meantime he had laid on a chair
in Mr.. Edmunds' office. Mr.. EdInunds
being busy did not notice the hat when
he went to dinner, and locking his office
door. left the hat in there. The doctor
leaves daily for Bridgeton on the l. Is train
(before Mr.. Edmunds gets back from
dinner) and when the doctor looked for
his hat he did not ave any. He didn't re-
member leaving it anywhere, nor was he
quite sure that he had worn one up. Not
being able to find it he borrowed one from
Druggist Garrison, a broad brim one,
the doctors hat being a derby. When ne
arrived at his house in Bridgeton his wife
thought him a cowboy and hesitated let
ting him in, but the doctor finally as
. sured her that 1t was all right for him
: to come in, but his wife don know yet
how he came by that hat. The doctor is
now looking for the minister who got his
other hat.

went up te her room, leaving Mr..
Bowser witt his paper. He waited a

His Unspoken opinion.

Richard NJ. Hunt, the artist, honest
in his opinion and blunt in its expires
sion, was appreciated by budding stu
dents, What he said In criticism some
times necessitated the destruction OF a
picture, but the advice eventually was
profitable.
A lady called on Mr.. Hunt n day.
requesting him to select a frame suit
able for a sketch which a dear nephew
had painted. "a frame in harmony
with the thought suggested by the pic
ture,' was desired.
Artist Hunt betook himself to the
woods. A few days after he called on
a picture dealer. saying that he wished
the sketch framed in the material he
had collected.
"Impossibler' exclaimed the picture
dealer Cant frame the picture with
this stuff. It's rotten wood"
"You must" said Mr.. Hunt gruftiy.
'sThis frame is to be in harmony with
the picture"

Mr.. Bowser swallowed the lump In

A Fyzabad Hindoo was restored to
his caste by the following process or
qualification" He lost caste eating
cooked food in a railway carriage, In
which persons of another caste were
travelling. He had to pay his own
weight first in rice, the value reaching
$50 rupees, and then in wheat. After
being twice weighed in this way he
was made to sit on a square stone
while his body was covered with ma
nure, the face only excepted. He was
then taken up by two men and thrown
into the river, and after a bath was
received by the Brahmans, fully re-
stored to caste fellowship.

He went home and spent a quarter

cat was ALSO there. There was a pain
full silence of about two minutes, and
then Mrs. Bowser observed:
"We had sweet oil in the house. If
