COMEDY 81 a WAIsrcoAr.
EnaIlshman Furnished Amusement for
French Police officials.

French Police Officials.
An Englishman who had obviously
been dining rather well than wisely
walked up to the police station in the
Place de POpera In Paris the other
night and sent the officials into roars
Of laughter
He could not speak French, so, to
explain that his watch and money
had been stolen, he solemnly took on
his oyercoat and coat and showed
that his waistcoat contained none OF
his valuables
The police were attracted by this
walstcoat, which was white, and had
border three inches deep. Exam.
lining 1t, they found that he was wear
ing It inside out and that his watch
and chain were in their proper places.
The Englishman went out into the
night IN state OF complete mystic
cation. His state prevented him from
understanding how the police had
found his belongings, and he over
wheImed them with compliments they
could not understand

An ice house built OF cement-con,
crete would last for generations and
be quite satisfactory. The concrete
walls OF an ice house should receive
a coat Of cement plaster both inside
and out, to exclude all air The bot.
tom or floor Of the building should
be of concrete and slope down to a
drain, in order to draw off all water
that may run from the ice. The drain
should have trap so that no air can
enter the house through it. The con
crete walls need not be over six OF
eight inches thick according to their
heighp and when filing the ice house
the ice should be kept six inches away
from the walls and the space filled
with dry sawdust

Loosen the clumps by digging
round them and after cutting the
roots close to the stems with an axe,
pull them out with horse and chain.
This viii probably be easier than cut
ting the. bushes and burning the brush
and then blowing, and the land Will
be IN much better shape for using at
once. I don't quite understand your
objection to blowing your land but Il
Il is to save pasture among the bushes
I think You would have better results
by cleaning your land OF the haaels
either by siashlng and burning OF
hauling out and then plow and 70

fed the skill of some Of the most

troubles was chronic constipation of
several years. standing. She was also
passing through that most critical
period in the life of woman-change
Of life.
'In June, 1895, l wrote to you about
her case. You advised course Of
Peruna and Manalin, which we at
once commenced, and have to say 1t
completely cured her.
About the same time wrote you
about my own case of catarrh, which
had been of twenty-five years stand
ing. At times was almost past going.
I commenced to use Peruna according
10 your Instructions and continued It's

The Sample Ballot.

| For the instruction of citizens who
desire to cast their votes for the Repub-
lican electors of President and Vice
President and for the Citizens candidates
for Governor and Lieutenant-G Governor
the law makes ample provision. Any
voter who wishes to study the ballot
before entering the voting booth is en-
titled to demand from the elections off,
GERS q sample ballot to inspect at his leis-
ure, before the official ballot he is to vote
is delivered to him. The election law Of
1893, in Section SO, says:
Sample ballots. equal In number to rs percentum
OF the number Of ofnclal ballots provided therefor
shall also be provided for every polling place for
which ofhciai ballots are required to be provided
Such sample ballot shall be printed on paper of
different color from the oficlal ballot. and without
numbers on the stubs, but shall In all other respects
be precisely similar the ocia ballots to be voted
at that polling place. One of such sample ballots
shall, at any time. on the day OF election be fur.
nlshed upon application to any elector entitled to
vote at that polling place. and may be taken by him
away from such polling place before receiving his
ofi1cial ballot or ballots"
Thus the voter is empowered to de-
mand from the elections officers a sample
ballot, which he is at liberty to take from
the polling place to more quiet spot,
where he can study it at his con-
venience. Upon the sample ballot he
will find the names of all the candidates
for Office arranged as on the official bal
lot, with their respective voting spaces
in front Of them. The voter may mark
this sample ballot as he intends later to
mark the official ballot which he votes,
to see how it is done. > - o..
Printed at the top of the sample ballot
he will find full and clear instructions to
guide him in marking his official ballot
These instructions are also printed on the
stub Of the official ballot. A few minutes
study Of the sample ballot will enable the
voter to mark his official ballot with ease
and celebrity and in perfect confidence that
his wishes will be recorded in the count
of the ballots.
In front of the name of each candidate
for Office on the official ballot will be
printed a voting space. The voter should
make the legal cross (X) mark in each Of
the voting spaces in front of the names
of the thirty-nne Republican candidates
for electors of President and Vice-Presi-
dent and in the voting spaces in front Of |
the names OF the Citizens candidates for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor, the |

and destroyed by explosions In the super
heated mass Of molten rock. -''
One Of these men is the distinguished
Italian professor Of geology, MATTEUCCI.
OF the University of Naples. During the
'eruptions Of 1900, when the boiling lake OF
lava rose in the crater to within about
200 feet of it's rim, the professor spent
days on the mountain slopes and
lived for three days on the edge Of the
crater. He saw many large projectiles
thrown to height of 800 feet above
the mountain. One day, while peering
over the edge, he saw block of unusual
size rising above the top of the crater
His watch was in his hand and he saw
that the projectile was in the air above
Vesuyus for seventeen seconds before it
reached terra firma on the slope of the
mountain. He ascertained later that it's
weight was approximately thirty tons,
and estimated that the force that pro-
PEELED this mass Of rock high into the air
was equal to 807, 995 horsepower. He
calculated that the volume Of solid mate
rial elected from the crater during the
explosive period of about two months
was 100000 cubic metres, and in that
time about thirty feet was added to the
altitude OF the mountain.
When Vesuvius resumes its plaoidity
and is again content to smoke lazily, we
are likely to hear something interesting
from Prof. MATTEUccI about the present
phases Of activity.

Not long ago we described system OF
advertising the advantages for settlers
offered in the Canadian Northwest Terri
tory, originated by the Canadian Minister
OF the Interior and pursued by him and by
the communities concerned with remark
ably successful results. The annual immi-
grafton to Canada increased from about
$4,000 to about $4,000. From the United
States the number OF immigrants, which
before had been only little over 100. in
creased last year to more than 1900. As
the Southern States are now earnestly dis
clissing methods Of attracting immigrants to
their cheap and fertile lands we suggested
that this Canadian system OF advertising
might be proftably adopted by them. The
Southern Farm Mopasine, which gives special
attention to this matter Of immigration,
welcomes the suggestion and urges every
town and State In the South to follow the
example Of Canada, for 1t Is confident that
by persistent and broad advertising" the
South can achieve even greater success
in attracting population than Canada has
done.' sMr RICHARD H. EDMoNDs points
out in the same magazine, the time has now
come when the diversion OF the stream Of
immigration from the West to the South is
possible, for "the free land OF the West is
gone, and good agricultural land is COM
handing what we in the South would call
exorbitant prices, ranging from $50 to 500
an acre, and even more"
