The WIN to Die.

Two or three years ago, in a 1.anca.
shire town, while a fair was in prog.
ress, to the proprietor of a steam
roundabout there came a shopkeeper
whose wife was lying supposedly at
the point of death. Thou nun stop
thy organ" he said. "why? asked
the other. Thou nun stop it, I tell
tha'. My missus cawn't dee" was the
reply, a dialogue for which the writer
car vouch.
A clergyman had placed on record a
similar instance. Visiting a sick pa
rishioner, he was told by the doctor that
the sfckroom was full Of mourners, as
surfing the woman that she was about
20 die. And the woman was dying
from suggestion, though .organically
there vas not the least reason why she
should. The clergyman entered the
room and cleared out the doleful ones.
You're not. going to die" he said.
"What! Am I not dying, parson? Then,
thank God, I won'ty!' That woman was
well in next to no time and round st
the vicarage thanking its master for
having saved her life.-St. James Ca
1ette. 4

stroppinx q Razor.

: '.The idea that a razor needs frequent
grinding or honing is not in keeping
with my experience" said a man who
shaves himself. II have a razor that ]
got ten years ago which has never bees
out Of my possession, never had anq
other treatment than stropping, and b
today the sharpest and best Of six. A
razor can only be kept in this condition
without honing, however, By using a
hard strop-that is. one which is rigid
instead of, flexible and not the kind
that makes an arc of a circle when you
use it. This latter sort will sharpen q
razor for awhile, but 1t also makes the
edge round until at last it ceases to cut.
Why do l have six razors? Well, that
il to use them in regular turn and give
each one Of them a rest. shave every
day, which I find the least troublesome
method, and il l use the same blade
every day 1t would soon play out. The
edge of a razor needs rest, just like
every other machine"

sages Of dog meat, though never so
highly seasoned, will after a while
sicken MI but the coarsest stomachs-.
particularly when sausages are
known to be made of dog meat. The
general public will be educated to
understand the difference between
sensational and fake matter and
legitimate and reliable news. Sprawl
ing headlines will no Longer suffice
to carry fabricatlons and exaggera-
tions, and will cease to provoke
curiosity, and therefore to make
talk and attract attention. Readers
will mark the false statement of to-

their newspaper, as OF their butcher

COMING CITY ELECTION

Officers are to be Elected

in April. laa$
The coming election, which will
occur about the middle of April, will
ne quite an important one, iuasmuch
the mayor, four members Of the city
council, the five members of the
school board, together with the
school treasurer and the assessor
will be elected. The license ques-
tion will also be voted upon.
While 1t seem to be q little early
for candidates to be brought out yet
there is more or less talk going OH as
to who will make good timer for
mayor, aldermen and members OF the
school board. The general discus
sion is more to themayoralty and six
or eight candidates are being talked
OF for the nomination. 49, .ai
Mitchell Is right in the position
where the city needs the continuation
of an energetic business head, and
the successor OF Mayor Silsby should
possess the qualities aud force to
keep the city 10 the foreground.
There is plenty Of excellent material
If it a be drawn upon, but some
times it is a difficult matter to get
a person to sacrifice their. private
business to accept a position where
he will be criticised if he doesn't
suit nearly every person in town.

Peasants super.tition..

PeaoaAts' Superstitions.
Now and then, not often. ghostly ap
p~earances OF sounds are explained to
the PEASANTS satisfaction. Thus in the
county of Durham "Gabriera hounds
were for long. long years believed to
shrek and howl through the air on
dark nights and to forebode death to
him who heard and saw them. But
prosaic modern research proved them
to be nothing but t1ocks of wild geese
migrating southwark on the approach
Of winter and choosing dark nights for
their journeys. Similarly the ghost Of
Irbydale, in the Lincolnshire wolds, a
goblin who terrified travellers at night
with its heartrending cries and who
was said to be a witch who had been
worried to death by dogs in a long past
age, has been shown to be nothing but
an owl. On the other hand, no true
Cornishman will ever be induced to re
linquish the belief that the spirit Of
King Arthur still haunts the suins of
Tntagel in the shape of a white enough,
and assuredly the many English fam
lies who possess a white bird of omen.
such as that which John Oxenham saw
in westward Ho." cling firmly to the
tradition IL not to the belief In it

A River of Death.

Before the English occupation of In- dia 1t was estimated that the Ganges carried to the sea every year 100000 dead bodies. 1t was then considered by the Hindoos that the happiest death was one found In It's waves, and all pious Hindoos who could do so were carried to It's banks and placed in its waters to die. The decaying carcasses along its banks were probably respon- sible In no small degree for the pestl- fences which formerly desolated the peninsula
