There should not be dissenting
vote next Monday on the proposition
of granting a franchise through Ores
CO to the electric road company. The
terms of the franchise will be fixed by
our town council and will simply give
them the right of way through such
streets in the Incorporation as are
necessary for the operation of the road
and nothing more. The talk by some
that the franchise will give the cleo
trio road company control of all the

whatever in the welfare of Oresco can
afford to cast vote against the pro-
posed franchise.

To the many correspondents who

state that this is not a medical bu-

GUS disorder, which is probably

it be repeated in answer to many who
seem to have seen the problem and
missed the solution. Consume your

to stammer to yourself. When you
have tut-tutted and gur-gurred suffi-

Alive Four Months In a Grave.

Hari Das, the great Hindoo fak;r,
who lived in the first half of the nine
teenth century, is the only wonder
worker of modern times who has ever
allowed himself to be buried in the
ground for months. In the year 1899
Hari told General Ventura that for 4
certain fee ne would allow COMMITTEES
to test the claims which he made of be-
ing able to die and remain dead for
months and then come to life again
When all was arranged Hari hypnO-
tiZed himself to such a degree that his
circulation was wholly stopped. When
he was pronounced dead to all intentS
and purposes he was buried in a gar
den and q high wall built around the
grave. Guards were stationed ON the
wall so that interference or deception
would be impossible Four months
later Hari was eXhumed according to
agreement, and after few minutes OF
vigorous rubbing of his body by friends
he opened his eyes, and an hour later
he was well and able to walk. The
fakir was clean shaven when buried
and is said to have come out Of the
grave in the same shape. fact which
is cited to prove that vitality must
have been completely suspended.

Ostriches Are Poor Sailors.

"Ostriches are terrible creatures to
have aboard ship in a Storm said i
sailor. Knocked about by the waves,
they fall and break their legs. We once
carried eight superb ostriches. They
were good sailors. Their sea appetites
were fine. But two days from port q
nasty gale overlook us. And then it
was pitiful to see those ostriches. The
ships lurches and ducks knocked them
off their pins, sent them rolling back
and forth, to and fro, wildly, help
lessly. Imagine dozen ostriches, now
on their feet, then-bang-On their
backs, their long legs in the air, rolling
every which way. What you'd expect
to happen happened, of course. Their
legs broke. You could hear above the
storm the sharp crack of the splitting
bone. Of those eight fine ostriches
only two reached port alive"

Likes Beiru Hunted.

The extraordinary intelligence and
skill displayed by reynard when be-
ing hunted makes it extremely prob
able that he, in common with the
huntsman and the hounds, feels the
keen pleasure of the pride of art-an
important constituent of the spirit of
the sport. In proof of this, an old fox,
when fresh, has often been observed to
wait Tor the hounds, apparently with
the purpose Of drawing them on, and
so giving in opportunity for the dis
play of his skill The fox owes his
present existence in England to his
skill in providing sport, and it is not
therefore unreasonable to suppose that
he has acquired the sporting instinct.
just as the pointer, the hunter and the
terrier certainly enter into the spirit of
the sport for which they have been
bred and to which, therefore, they owe
their eXistence.-London Standard

Books Written In Jail.

Jail seems to be a good place in which
to write books. Literary men surpass
themselves there. John Bunyan wrote
Pilgrims Progress in Jail. Cervantes
wrote 'DOx Quixote" in prison. Defoe
laid the plans for Robinson Crusoe"
during q term of confinement imposed
on him for the writing of a pamphlet
called THE Shortest Way With the
Dissenters." Leigh Hunt wrote Rim
ini'' in Jail. Sir Walter Raleigh dur
ing his fourteen years Imprisonment
in the Tower of London wrote his ex-
cellent History of the World" Silvio
Pellico and Tasso both did their best
work in jail.

Food and Digestion.

One of the biggest mistakes about
food which people make is to forget
that the true value of food to anybody
is the measure of its digestibility Half
4 pound of cheese is vastly more nour-
ishing. as regards its mere compost
ton, than half a pound OF beef; but
while the beef will be easily digested.
and thus be of vast service to US, the
cheese is put out of court altogether
for ordinary folks by reason Of its in
digestibility- We should bear this rule
in mind when we hear people compar-
ing one food with another in respect OF
their chemical value.

but Changed His Opinion.
One of the most successful wholesale
dry goods merchants New York city
ever saw had the peculiar habit of re-
garding as his inferior any man. who
was engaged in Il business less gem
teel, as lie held, than his own. In his
employ was young Vermonter, who
felt highly elated when one day man
from his native town who was visiting
the city called on him. The man was
somewhat crude in his manners, but
he had piled up a fortune in the tin
ware business and in buying up at a
discount in times of panic commercial
paper which he believed was good.
The youth introduced the Vermonter
to his employer.
'What business are you in?" asked
the dry goods prince as the two shook
hands.
"The tinw-a-a-r business" drawled
the VermOnter.
Without a word the dry goods mer-
chant turned on his heel and bolted
into his private Office. He didn't rec
ognize tinware merchants as desirable
acquaintances.
Hold on a minute, Mr. - shouted
the Vermonter after the retreatirg fig
ure. Are these here things goin' to
be paid when they fall due?'
From his wallet the VermOnter drew
several slips of paper, which he held
up to the dry goods merchants face
The merchant glanced at them and eff
fusively bade the Vermontcr welcome
to his private office. The papers were
notes to the extent of $4,000 uttered
by the dry goods merchant and which.
unknown to him, the VermOnter had
bought up at a big discount.-Brooklyn
