shlrtWaist Ornament.

Here is a suggestion for ornament
ing white cambria shirtwaist which
looks quite elaborate, but is not diff
ticult to manage. Draw or trace
life-size butterfly on white paper. Cut
1t out, pin it on shirt front that has
been tucked a short distance from the
neck, and with pencil draw its
outline on the muslin. Then cut out
the material and lay under 1t a piece
of point d'esprit, and with narrow
wash braid turn IN and cover the
edges of the muslin. The body of the
butterfly can be embroidered with
linen floss and the markings qf the
wings put in with a darnlng stitch.
AS many butterflies can be inserted
as desired, and they can be of differ
ent sizes, thereby adding to the eff.
feet

French Nationalist Has Discovered
Their Peculiarly.
A German scientist recently pointed
out that snails are able to draw i'm
mense weights, and now French nat
uralist claims that there are few, II
any, animals which have higher APP
probation of music than snails. This
naturalist is Nj. s. Jourdain, and his
views on the subject are expressed
at length in a paper which he has ad-
dressed to the French Biological So
ciety. Place some snails on pone
of glass, he says, and you will find
that as they move over It they will
make musical sounds similar to those
which a person can produce by wet
ting his fingers and then rubbing it
around a glass tumbler. Complete airs,
he points out, have been played on
tumblers in this way, and he expresses
the opinion that quite as good re-
suits can be obtained by using snails
instead of fingers.

THE GOAL OF ALL.
Two Gods Acres Surrounded by the
Strife for Existence.


These two Gods Acres, says a New
York writer. referring to st. Paul's
and Trinity ohurchyards in the lower
part of the metropolis, are just now,
in their beautiful spring,green dress,
with age-brown trimmings. among the
loveliest spots in New York Turn
aside. stranger, and rest there a mo-
ment. Step out of the whirl of the
Grand Canon of Broadway and cool
yourself on an ancient tombstone.
Some of those shades are 300 years
old. In the midst of death they are
in life, but their silent slumbers are
not disturbed by all the noise and rat
tie of the busiest street in the world,
nor by the crash-crash of the elevated
railroad, the humping of whose
wheels causes the ground to SILVER
and the solemn vaults to echo. Fresh
tulips are peeping up. The trees are
leaping into leaf. What a place for
rehectionl Above, the deep dome of
heaven. Below, the mortal remains OF
Immortality. On all sides-north. east,
south and west-the hot struggle for
existence. The mad mob of human
miserables, crowding each other even
for breath, can look between the pick
cts of the iron fence and see the end
of ALL The goal is In plain view.
Stop, my brother, and ask THE ques-
ton, "For what am | living?"

According to the Kenton Daily Dem
ocrat. David Scott, of Bellecenter. the
first minister to preach in Baptist
church in Kenton, having held the
pastorate there 52 years ago, was to
have spoken twice at the First Baptist
church Sunday and both appearances
were looked forward to by old and
young with great interest.
The aged man who was an active
minister for the remarkable length of
62 years being superanusted three years
ago. preached a strong sermon in the
morning choosing for his text Romans
4. Sd verse: Abraham believed God
and it was counted unto him for right
eousness.
1t was masterful effort and the
strain upon the aged man was too great
for him and as he was leaving the pull
pit he was overcome by the exertion
and became unconscious The feeble
form was carried to the manse and the
man tenderly revived. He was not
permitted to speak in the evening.
Rev. Scott is visiting his sister-in.
law, Mrs. Lsvina Scott on north Cherry
street. He went to Alger this morn

A portion of the needed land has here

sll land needed Is decided the street will

COURT ACTS
And EnjOins City
From Accepting.
Holds that Council Cannot
Bind City to Support
Institution.

The Circuit Court at Cincinnati yes
terday decided case that is of inter
est to Bellefontaine.
1t was the suit of William Evans, a
John E. Smith and others, Councilnen
and Trustees of the Public Library of
that village The committee appointed
to ascertain if Andrew Carnegie would
donate to the village money for a pub
lie library received an answer from
him in 1908. saying that he would give
$40. 900 for library building provided
the village would agree to maintain it
at cost of not less than 81 600 year
and furnish site. Thereupon Council
passed a resolution obligating the viii
lage to do what Mr.. Carnegie asked.
The suit was filed to enjoin the car
rying out of that intention on the
ground that the resolution was in con-
travention of the Burns law. That
statue provides that municipality or
any officers of it cannot make any con-
tract or enter into any obligation for
the expenditure of money unless the
Auditor of the municipality shall first
certify that there is in the Treasury the
money to be expended and in the fund
from which it is to be drawn and un
appropriated for any other purpose
That was not done in this case, and
therefore 1t was claimed the resolution
Iof Council was invalid. The Common
Pleas Court of Warren county held thai
the resolution of Council was not an en-
forcible legal obligation. and tina
was not an expenditure of money.
The Circuit Court differs with that
1t holds that while 1t is true the reso
luton of Council is not an enforcibl
legal contract. yet it is not so becsus
the Burns law makes such an action o
Council invalid. If 1t were not 70
that law, says the Circuit Court. tn
resolution would be bilateral legs
obligation. But as the action of Coun
Gil was not legal, the project of tn
Library Trustees cannot be carried ou
rs it now stands and is enjoined.
The Court suggests that Mr.. Carne
gle might be informed that the Counci
could not bind tine village to supper
the library. but that it could pledg
the word of the citizens of Leblanc
that they would hereafter keep th
condirions imposed by him as to tn
nf
ible he would agree. Both sides G
the controversy had agreed that th
resolution applied really only to th
civic conscience and moral responsible
ity of the citizens. but the Court sal
that it did not authorize the Counc
to do in good faith something contrsr
to the law.
