A historic Account Book.

In the year 1882, when the State of
Illinois was but fourteen years of
age, there was on the south bank
of Rock River, sixty-five miles above
Its mouth, frontier post called Dix
on's Ferry. John Dixon, from whom
the ferry derived its name, lived
there, entertaining travellers, operat-
ing the ferry, and trading with those
who journeyed to and from the min
Ing districts and the Indians. With
the Indians, writes Mr.. Stevens in
his account of the Black Hawk War,
he was particularly popular, and be-
came their counselor and arbitrator,
and likewise their banker.
He was equally well liked by the
whites, and when the time came to
bespeak their affection there was no
uncertainty respecting the judgment.
His influence became so great that
In the year 1910, when Galena was
the political and commercial power
of the Northwest, he took from that
place to his own town the United
States land-office.
When the subject of removal was
first preached, it appeared so ridi-
culously impossible that there was
no protest from Galena but laughter;
but John Dixon's tavern was stronger
than the politics and commercial
prestige of the frontier metropolis.
Alone he journeyed to Washington,
and upon his request, backed by no
one, the Office, which at that time was
the most important national Office in
the State and that which carried the
most political influence, was removed
to Dixon.
Dixon's venerable personality, his
charming sweetness of disposition,
his rugged honesty, and possibly his
little account-book, were altogether
too powerful for the antagonists of
those rugged days.
One entry in his account-book
chA .acteristic of the times is, "Col.
Q. Taylor. To Mdse, including shirt
pattern, $780," and then follows its
liquidation: Settled by note"
The hero of more than one war
and afterward President of the
United States, it appears, settled an
account of six dollars and fifty cents
by giving his note of hand. But the
note was paid when it was due.
General Winfield Scott also appears
In this account-book, and the settle
ment of his accounts was performed
with the precision one would expect
from the dignified soldier.

A plain, plastered stone house
about fifty yards from the ancient
City Hall of Nuremberg, Germany,
has nothing to distinguish it from
the other old houses of the neigh
borhood except that it is built Of
photographic stone, worth from six
to twenty-one cents a pound. So
photographers who go to Nuremberg
wander from the worn tourist trails
to see the wonder.
The house was built about 1880,
nearly 100 years before Alois Sene-
fielder, the discoverer of lithograhy,
was born. Andreas Lichtenstein, who
built it, took the stone easiest to
get and secured it for the trouble
of carrying it away. Now the ma
terial in the building is worth about
$4,000.
The present Andreas Lichenstein.
a descendant of the man who built
the house, has said "Nein" about
once month for the last twenty
years to spectators who want to
buy his home and tear it down for
the stone 1t is his home and was
that of his forefathers, and he re-
fused to part with it. So Autograph
ers with thoughts of rising prices
look and sigh
Lithographic stone is found in
commercial quantities only in Ba-
varia. The largest quarries are near
Nuremberg Kansas City Star.

The Earth,s Magnetism.

The. old saying, as true as the
needle to the pole" is no longer a
safe comparison. Only in few
places on the earth's surface does
the compass point exactly to the
north. What is more, the spot to-
ward which its northward end is di-
rected-the so-called magnetic
pole"-itself slowly shifts. For this
reason it has been necessary to sup
ply the mariner with fresh charts
every few years, indicating the
amount of variations in the needle
on which he must count means
for the correction of these charts
is supplied from two sources. Oc-
casionally a ship captain will make
an observation of a star while at sea
to determine whether his compasses
are all right. He thus discovers
sometimes that his chart is in error.
Further help to accurate information
is supplied by the magnetic observa-
lions of the world of which there
must be about score. One Of the
things measured at such places is the
strength of the force in the earth
that controls the compass. 1t was
recently noticed, for instance, that
this force is more than twice as great
at place in Burmah (Taungoo) as
at Sitka, Alaska.-New York Tri-
bune.

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

why it is the best of personal and family

on which it acts without any facilitating

Injuries to Wives Before Marriage.
The Supreme Court of this State
has handed down a decision which
may be of interest to young men en-
gagged il counting. 1t holds that a
man who marries girl cannot set up
any claim to damages for injuries
sustained by the bride before her
marriage. William G.. Meade and
his wife, of Paterson, were the plain
tiffs. They were at picnic in Baum's
Park few months before their mar
riage and the young woman was in
jured by the falling of balcony in
front OF the dancing pavilion. After
their marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Meade
brought suit against Henry Baum,
proprietor Of the picnic ground. A
jury in the Circuit Court awarded
Mrs. Meade $500 for injuries to her
foot and her husband was awarded
$500 for the loss of his wife's serv-
ices. The case was appealed to the
Supreme Court The judgment in
favor of Mrs. Meade is permitted to
stand, but the court decides that the
husband is not entitled to damages.
The court in it's opinion says: 1T is
impossible to conceive of any legal
principle upon which the action of
the husband can be supported 1t Is
true that it is pleaded and proved
that at the date of the accident there
was mutual agreement between the
plaintiffs to intermarry, but although
the female plaintiff was under con-
tract to marry the male plaintiff, no
action by him will lie against the de-
PENDANT for either preventing the ex-
ecution of that purpose or for caus-
ing the promise to be of less value
and more burdensome to him"

No New Trial For skillman.

William H. Skillman, of Somerset
County, who is under conviction for
forging paper purporting to be the
last will of William Lanehart, his
neighbor, has been refused a new
trial Justice Minturn having filed in
the Supreme Court an opinion sus-
tanning the conviction of Skillman.
Judge Theodore B. Booraem presided
at the trial of Skillman. The admis-
sion of testimony relating to the ex-
ecution by Mr.. Lanehart in New York
of what was known as the Race
will'' was the point raised in two of
the exceptions. The Supreme Court
holds that the admission of this will
was competent for the purpose of es-
tablishing the fact that Mr.. Lanehart
had executed and preserved prior
will radically inconsistent with the
provisions of the document drawn by
Mr.. Skillman Mr.. Skillman former
ly was president of the State Associa-
ton of Horticulturists. He is old
and feeble.

hesitates about leaving home. There
is nothing in the world so good for a
man, say, between twenty-five and

Safe School Houses.

No pride of opinion should stand
in the way of making our school
buildings not merely the safest
schools in the country, but the safest
buildings in the world. 1t might be
said, in fact, that if anybody is even
unreasonably dissatisfied with any
thing connected with their fire pro-
lection, he should be satisfied. Where
fire commissioner says a building
is unsafe, it ought not to be difficult
for board of education to admit that
it is unsuitable for school. Brook
