A North Carolina paper tells the followicg': At Hartnett County Superior Court a few years since, Jndjre Snipp presiding:, the trial of a cause had been protracted until midnight. The jury were tired and sleepy, and shoved flagging attention. Willie Murchison, who was addressing the fury, thought to arouse them, eo he said: ''Gentlemen, I will tell you an anecdote." Instantly the judge, the jury, and the few spectators pricked up their ears and vere all attention, .as Murchison was admirable iu that line, had a fund of v leodotea, and no one could tell them better. But he soon proceeded to tell one of the dullest, prosiest, and most pointless jokes possible. Everybody looked disappointed. The judge, leaning over, said in an unmistakable tone of disappointment, "Mr. Murchison, I dont see the point of that joke." "Nor I either," responded the witty counsel. "But your Honor told it to me, on our way down here, and as I thought the lack of appreciation must be due to my obtoseness I concluded to give the joke jury trial." feeagtB st m SUk Worm's Thread. In a recent communication to the Society of Arts and Sciences, Miss Henrietta Rhodes states that the silk unwound in a single thread from one cocoon of the common silkworm measure 404 yards. After this bunch of silk had been thoroughly dried and reeled it was found to weigh exactly three grains. It follows that one pound of silkworm thread may be extended into a lire 535 miles long, and that a thread long enough to reach around the entire world would weigh no more than fortyseven pounds. Tfce ttroecr's Trlctb Said Senator Calvin S. Brice recently: "The remark in the Bible about not muzzling the ox that treadeth out the grain always appeals to me. It reminds me of one of the first tasks I ever did. I was hired by a baker at 50 cents a day to pick the stems and atones from a quantity of dried currants. Now, that is labor which, under ordinary circumstances, world appeal to a boy, but, do you mind, the man made me whistle 'Yankee Doodle every minute of the time I was at work." Breat Caluard-Ot . "Gold mining," remarked the enthusiastic boomer, "is what pays its followers glorious returns.

COXEY ON THE MARCH

STARTS FROM MASSILLON, OHIO, WITH ABOUT ISO MEM, The Crusade Against tike fcatlornl Capital Began Voder Discouraging ClrcitmUnrci Crowds of Spectators ltae the Beads Scenes in Camp at Canton. 'Commonweal" Sets Forth. Coxey's army of the common weal left Massillon, Ohio, Sunday forenoon, and by nitrht had covered the first eight miles of the Ion" heralded maroh to Washington. A Canton, Ohio, dispatch says that lu the column passed through the public square of the city of its birth there were just 122 peop'e on foot, in wagons, or horseback. The national colors wore carried at the head of the column by Sam Jhueon, a Massillon negro. Carl Browne came next. mounted on a splendid white horso weighing nearly i','.0) pounds. He wore hi-jh top boots, corduroy trousers, a buckskin jacket, a fur overcoat, ana a big sombrero. Doc Kirkland, of Pittsburg, tva close behind with two aids. Then came Coxey in his phaeton, with a coachman driving a spirited team. Mrs. Coxey, her little son Legal Tender, and her sister, Miss Jones, drovo with them to the first x a coxev. Btop. A light running gear, having a speaker's platform, was r.ext. It is to accommodate Carle Browns and his panr.raira illustrating his harangue against the national banking system as the monster of the age. Lew Smith, the great unknown, headed the s ection of footmen. He is the man who made such an incendiary speech in Massillon that he was not allowed to speaK the second time. People in the crowd the first time he spoke thought he was Fielden, the Chisago anarchist, and so announced. He replied: "I am the great unknown ant must remain so. He is hands mo, commanding; and well dressed and maintains good discipline. Seventy-four footmen followed. A covered wagon accompanied the bind of fourteen members. Two wagons accompanied the tents and a commissary, and an ordinary farm wagon loaded with horse feed brought up the B mmss m MSii BASSES CARRIED BT COXBT'S JUtS. rear. The first stop was made at Reedurban, and here, according to the scriptural idsa which Brown3 introduces wherever possible, there was a feast of loaves and fishes ryo bread, canned salmon, an:l oiled sardines. After an hour's re-t the order to fall in was given. There were some recruits by this time a dozen more horsemen and p. obably 15') marched through the city and to' Camp Lexington, just outside the city, where the night was spent. Marshal Browne says that the name, age, residence and occupation of every member is enrolled, t-gether with a satisfactory reason for enlisting. The list was not open to Sublio gare, but Frowne indignantly enies that there is a single tramp in the company. He says that others will join in camp all along the route. Coxey is elated with the start and says a grand success is now assured. Before leaving Camp Concord at Massuion, a meeting was held. Carl Browne delivered his idea of a sermon. He read from the scriptures. selecting several pas sages irom Kevo alion. He took tho ground that all of the prophecies had been Fulfills1 Via plained the passage L m",WHK of the beast with seven heads and ten horns. New York, he said, was tho beast, the seven heads 1 nancial con spiracies, and the ten horns such grasping, grinding monopolies as the Standard Oil Trust, the railroad trusts, and the land trust'. Purpose of the Mareh. J. S. Coxey's "army of unemployed was organized to mat ch to Washington and is person demand relief from Congress. Mr. Coxey associated with him as assistant Carle Browne, of California. The work of organization was begin months a o. Lab r unions, farmers' alliances and similar organizations were iivited to join intact. All organizations were advised to procure a wagon, if possible, to carry caup utcnsUj. Appeals to Populists and various societies throughout the country were mailed at inte. vals for several months. The itinerary of the trip is an interesting one. It has been so arranged that day meetings ran be held in leading cities where labor troubles are abundant. It is from the o centers Mr. Coxey expect i to secure the greatest number of recruits. Arrangements, it is said, were concluded for seven thousand acres of land in Washington, owned by Senator Stewart, of Nevada, upon which the array is to camp. Editor Redstone, of tho National Tocsin, is the agent. When the army reaches that city, Redstone will meet it with the unemployed of Washington and vicinity and escort it to the Capitol. When these pilgrim have surrounded the Capitol with a hollow square, they will separate into groups according to their Congressional districts, and will call u;xu their Representative to come out. They will be etitioned to feed the army during its stay. An inspection of Coxey's headquarters before the march began disclosed, in readiness for the march, a round tent sixty feet in diameter, used by a circus last year, two smaller tents, 24 by -10 feet in size, a commissary wagon of six or eight tons capacity, an ambulance wagon, with medical and wurglcal appliances and numerous smaller articles for the accommodation of the army. The big circus tent is to be used for sleeping quarters at night, and for the meetings en route, when tho weather is too inclement for the open air. Congress will be demanded to pass two bills. One provides for the issuing of $500,01)0,000 in legal tender notes, to be expended by the Secretary of War at the rate of 20,OOO.COO a month in constructing reals in the various States.

If one of these hairs Is viewed under a hvcroscope it will beett that its free eiid, after tapering to a very lino degree of slimncss, finishes as a little knob, while in the other direction, after gradually lib oming more robust, it suddenly expands into a largo bulb corresponding with the poison gland of the adder. The point of tho ha r is very brittle, and contact with our skin causei the end to snap olf, leaving a hollow nccdlo po'nt which lead ly pierces our cut cle, and, press ng upon the bulb at the oilier end, the poison is forced through the central channel and inllauies our blood.

The Cijrrett Vice. The use of cigarettes is not merely the uso of tobacco, it is a vice by itself, In reformatories where tho euro of the opium, alcohol, and cigarette habits Is a lusincBi, cigarette patients aro not restricted from smoking cigars and pipes, which aro regarded as comparatively harmless. The cigarette works a special evil of its own which tobacco hi other forms does not affect. This evil result may ho due to drugs, or to the paper wrappers, of to the" fact that tho smoke of cigarettes is almost alwavs inhaled into tho lungs, while cigar smoke is not. As to that, let the exports decide: alwut the fact ol tne effect there is lio doubts and nd dearth of evidence. No other form of tobaccd eats into the will as cigarettes do. It Is the infernal cheapness Of tho cigarette and its adaptability for concealment that tempt this school-boy's cal low intelligence. Harper's Weekly. A Sprlris That Tnnls Tilings to Stone.

Eitlmsted That Half a Million Tobacco Users Will Ite Cure.l in by the Use of No-To-Bac, Caulns a Loss of Many SlUllons of Dollars to Tobacco Mnnnfacturers. Chicago, March 24. Special. It was reported to-day that a largo sura of money had been offered the proprietors of the cure for the tobacco hab.t called "no-to-tac," which is famous all over the country for its wonderful effect. This offer, It wa said, was made by parties who desire to take it off the market and stop its sale, because of Its injury to the tobacco business. Mr. H. L. Kramer, general manager of the no-to-bac business, was interviewed at his oflico, 4 Randolph street, and when questioned, promptly said: "No, sir: no-to-bac is not for Fale to tho tobacoo trust. We just refused a half million from other parties for our business: Certainlv no-to-bao affocts the tobacco business. It will cure over a half million people in 18i)4, at an average saving of 950 which each would otherwise expend for tobacco, amounting in round figures to 2T,0ii0,iHi0. Of course tobacco manufacturers and dealers' loss is the gain of the party taking no-to-bac. Does no-to-bac benefit physically? Yes, si: The majority of our 'pationts report an immediate gain in Jlcsh, and their nie .tiiio saturated svsteius are cleansed and made vigorous. How is no-to-bac sold?
