Swedenborq In RuffIes and Wio.

Swedenborg was great deal in Lon
don, where he was known and admired
and had several good friends, but his
small knowledge Of English and the
impeachment in his speech precluded
him from any real intimacy. His slight
figure, with its fine features and hazel
eyes, was we'll known in the neighbor.
hood of COldbath fields, where he lodg-
ed, and he was often seen stopping to
talk to the children, for whom he used
to carry sweetmeats. He was always
dressed in an old fashioned suit with
lace ruffles and wore a full bottomed
wig, carrying sword and gold head
ed cane. On Christmas eve, It'll, he
had stroke Of apoplexy, and on
March 20, 1772, the day he had fore
told, he died at the house which he had
himself named.-Occult Review.

C. E. Ward at Lar sing.

Rep. Charles Il. Ward, of Bancroft,
who faces a charge of completely in
the death of Miss Edith Presley, was
in Lansing Saturday afternoon. So
far as possible the representative re-
manned sequestered, not registering
at the Hotel Downey, where he stop
ped.
Ward was in the city three or four
hours. Just what was the. object of
= his visit could not be ascertained as
he denied himself to callers and stay
ed in his room, except for a short
time when he was absent from the
hotel. 1T was stated that he left here
for Bancroft. His coming into Mich
igan from Du Quoin, ILL.,, where he
was called by the death and burial of
his father, is believed to indicate that
Ward intends to submit to arrest
without putting the officers to the
trouble of securing requisition pa
pers.
Senator futile, Wards attorney,
made the statement to the Detroit
police" that his client would appear
in that city this week, and while the
police claim they did not expect him,
his return to this city indicates that
he will be on hand as agreed.
Wards trail is to be held in the
recorders court in Detroit in Septem-
her. The fact that without making
any strong legal showing against the
representative at the inquest, the
Wayne prosecutor asked for a war;
rant for his arrest has aroused re-
newed interest in the case The story
trial will be even more sensational
than that secured at the inquest The
refusal of the prosecutor to develope
all his case at the inquest, astonish-
ed many, especially as neither Dr.
Fritch nor DR.. Horton-Blair we're
called to the stand.
Information from a reliable source
in Detroit is to the effect that the
authorities in that city are not so
much concerned regarding Ward as
they are the Detroit end of the Pres
ley tragedy. 1t is stated that the po-
lice hope to secure from Ward infor-
NATION that will substantiate evil
dence they have to make case
against Detroit persons they claim
are directly responsible for Miss
Presley's death. The statement is
made that the officials have secured
Information tending to hold Ward
directly connected with the arrange
ments for the girls trip to Detroit
Wards defense, it is added, if it
comes to that, will be along astound-
ing lines.-Lansing Republican.

The Old English Danes Schools.

The descriptions of some of the
danes and other schools of the early
part of the nineteenth century are ex-
,eedingly interesting. Many of these
ancient teachers were unable to write

A Rebuff For Or. johnson.

Dr. Johnson called one morning on
Benjamin West to converse with him
on American affairs. After some time
Mr. West said that he had young
American Colbert Stuart living with
him, from whom he might derive some
information, and introduced Stuart.
The conversation continued Stuart be-
ing thus invited to take a part in it,.
when the doctor observed to Mr.. West
that the young man spoke very good
English and, turning to Stuart, rudely,
asked him where he had learned 1t.
Stuart very promptly replied: "Sir, l
can better tell you where I did not
learn 1t. 1t was not from your djctllQn-;

Good Advice.

Go on in all simplicity. Do not be
so anxious TO win a quiet mind, and
it will be all the quieter. DO not ex-
anime so closely into the progress OF
your own soul. Do not crave so much

life be formed by your duties and by
the actions which are called forth by
circumstances. Francis dc Sales.

Liver Trouble In Fowls.

When Il few hens in flock show
symptoms of advanced stages Of liver
trouble. it il reasonable to conclude
that others in the flock are in the
earlier stages. Give the flock grass
run If possible. If not, give green
food literally, avoid the excessive use
of corn, and try to secure a consider
able amount of exercise for the fowls
This is best accomplished for fowls in
confinement by feeding the grain in
litter and feeding rather sparingly at
first. This reduction of diet should not
be continued too long. If it Is, the
