it should be the endeavor of all good

The Uniqueness OF West Virginia.

The Uniqueness OF West Virginia.
West Virginia. with 1873 per cent
of its population born of American
parentage, heads the list of states in
this regard A West Eirginiaa writ.
ing to the New York Evening Post
cnumerates many other points in
which this state Is unique. II is the
youngest state east Of the Mississip-
pi 1t is the only state with two
: Eanhandles. 1t is the most Re-
publican of the Democratic states,
and the most Democratic of the Re-
publican states. The writer contir
lres
Financially it is by all odds the
riches of the poor states, and the
poorest of the rich states. This is to
say West Virginia, despite it's literal
ly enormous wealth in coal, coke
pie less for the support of its many
.arge and fine public institutions than
any other state in the Union but one.
Well, it doesn't take much mental
arithmetic to see where such things
as the State University are coming
out, that being the case. And, geo
graphically, West Virginia, is the
nest eastern of the western states,
and the most western of the eastern
states, the most northern of the
southern states, and the most south
ern of the northern states. There IS
nothing else like it in the Union, the
only state born of the Civil War.

Our Boys.

Inc IOltOWllS extract IS IrOHl the
speech of one of the officers of this
Ohio State Liquor League:
1t will appear from these facts
gentlemen that the success of our
business is dependent largely upon
the creation of am appetite for drink.
Men who drink liquor like others,
will die, and If there is no new ap-
petite created our counters will be
empty, as we'll as our money drawers.
Our children. will go hungry, or We
must change our business to some
thing more remunerative. The open
field for the creation of this appetite
is among the boys. After men are
grown and their habits are formed,
they rarely change in this regard. 1T
will be needful, therefore, that mis-
sionary work be dome among the
boys, and / make the suggestion
gentlemen, that nfckels expended in
treats to the boys now will return
in dollars to your tills atler the APP
petites have been formed. Above all
things create appetites.
Here is the 1ull diabolism of the
saloon set forth in plain ungarnished
terms that makes mans blood
course more q"ickly and further it
makes it MIGHTY hard for fatherhood
to continue patient and temperate in
thought and utterance on this tenn
perance question. Alabama Citizen.

aLIMIT" in SHORT WEIGHTS
indianapolis Man Finds DumbbeII
That Is Four Ounces Less Than
1t Is Branded.

DR.. w. f. King, assistant secretary
of the state board of health, has found
what he terms. "the limit" In short
weights. He wrote to a sporting
goods house few days ago to buy
some dumbbells for his daughter, and
in netting" a pair found that one
was lighter than the other. He called
the attention OF the salesman to his
discovery and the dumbbells were
placed on balance and weighed,
and one found to be four ounces short
of the branded weight.
81 don't believe the misbrandlng
could be handled under the pure food
law" said DR.. King, but Isidor Wulf-
son might take the case"
Dr. King recalled that when Ben
Hur was slave on the Roman galley
he represented to the overseer that
keeping galley slave chained to one
side of the ship all the time developed
him on one side only and that the
owner was not able to get full value
received from his price for the slave,
and that as a result the slaves were
shifted regularly from one side OF the
ship to the other. In this way, Ben
Hur was enabled to maintain rugged
health and strength until he escaped.
"Since dumbbells are used for ply
steal development, pair ought to be
of equal weight, in order to balance
the development" said DR.. King.--In-

HIPPO ATE A MINcE PIE.
But Bill Snyder, the Keeper, Said tho
Connection Was Wasted on
Miss Murphy.

1t is throwing money away, accord
ing to Bill Snyder, head keeper of the
Central park menagerie, to feed q
hippo on pies, especially on the mince
variety. This observation by the
keeper was ELECTED after he had
tossed beautiful mince pie into the
yawning mouth of Miss Murphy, one
of the hippos in the menagerie.
The hippo had been promised the
pie by man on the upper West side
fully week ago. He said he wanted
"the kids" to have a laugh. When
Miss Murphy gulped the pie down
yesterday more than a score of per-
sons, as well as "the kids" laughed.
1t was a conventional 80 cent pie,
but Miss Murphy looked more impor-
tant than 30 cents when she began to
crush the delicacy in her seesawing
jaws. According to the man who car
ried the pie to the menagerie he had
soaked it well in brandy. He was &C
companied by two lads.
Snyder tickled the hippo's chin with
the edge Of the pie, and as she opened
her mouth, he sent the whole thing in
at once, as If it were a straw hat.
Some bugs in this town." said the
keeper. "a woman came here yester-
day and wanted to know If she could
get permit to give the lions catnip.'

Telegram That Saved India.

In connection with the Durbar, a
museum of Mogul relics has been ar
ranged, which contains, among other
objects, the telegram which Illus
trates Montgomery's great saying,
"The electric telegraph saved India"
This is the famous telegram dispatch
ed by Brendish on May 18th, 1857,
which gave the news Of the rebellion
to the north Of India, and enabled
Lawrence and Edwardes and Nichol-
son to take steps for the disarma-
ment of regiments on the verge Of re-
volt, and to make those brilliant ar
rangements for the relief of Delhi by
which-and probably by which alone
the mutiny was crushed out, and
Delhi once more returned to her
British allegiance.

It is the combined action Of the
medicinal elements of the Gods liv-
