DO WE: ITEKD nwmsv A man who gives this question a proper amount of thought can hardly auswer exoept In tb« affirmative. 'The Mayor, all the ooaocilnieB.tha city en1 gineer, all the health officers answer in the affirmative. Every man who spends from ten to twenty-ftve'cfbltars ft year in attempting to keep his oellar dry answers in the affirmative. Every man who has a oees pool in his neighborhood contaminating his well or cistern answers in the affirmative. Every man who has pools of water stagnating in his neighborhood answers in the affirmative. Every man who would prefer to pay a small sewer tax than ran even the smallest chance of losing one loved one by disease caused by defective drainage answers in the affirmative. The only men who would answer in the negj ative are those who opposed water works, eleotrio lights, paid Are department, electrio alarm system and all thoeo improvements which are expensive ut first bnt which in the long ran prove the most economical. It was probubly the same otass of men who, years ago, opposed graveling the streets because mad streets were cheaper, who opposed plaDk sidewalks because gravel ones wore cheaper, and who, a few yeiirs later, opposed brick walks because plank ones^were cheaper. Probably soma of our old inhabitants oould tell ua of the same kind of objections brnnglit up against lighting the streets at uight. People used to be found who objected to railroads. So sewerage and street paring and all improvements are held baok more or less by persons who don't take the trouble to look ahead of them. Sewerage complete for Crawfordsville will cost, it is estimated, about $60,000, bnt unlike water works, light plants, it does not have to be built up all at once and the expense eomee gradually. However, it is for the city council to say when the city's finances will warrant the beginning of this important work. They do not seem to disagree however, as to the necessity of it.'

XABIETTA AMD WABASH. A most interesting departure from old ws) has been made by Marietta Col lege. The trustees announce that a college fot women will be oped in 8eptem ber. The qualifications for entrance, and the course of instruction' provided, ard the same as for men in the olassioal ooarse. Ia Modern Languages and Lit eriture the changes mad« are to meet tbe special requirements ot women in general. The trustees are to be oongrat ulated on their progressive tendencies.

Cincinnati Tribune. Marietta College is even older and more conservative than Wabash Collage yet this great advanoe, as well as many others, has been made in a single year under the admiBtration of a new presi dent. Wabash luust take oare of the girls before she can receive the frill sym putliy and support of the people. Tbe trustees frequently complain that the oitizens of Crawfordsville and Montgomery county do not aid the college as they should and as other communities do institutions situated in them. But we venture the prediction that where one dollar can be secured from the people w, three dollars oould be secured if the trustees would adopt some form of co-ed ncation. True the neoessary ex pmse of preparing for eo-edueation as it should be prepared for is considerable anJ the collage has no surplus on hand. Bat let the trustees makj it known that co-edncntion can be 'secured if a certain sum be raised and we believe the friend* of the idea would see that tbe amount wits obtained. Montgomery ooubty stands ready with $6,000 ae a starter.

A CINCINNATI woman who was notifl tLut her bunk account was overdrawn 8100 immediately sat down and wrote a check for SI 00 on tbe same bank to muke her account good Here is a timely hint for Secretary Carlisle.

THK failure of two hundred national banks sinoe January 1, against the fail ure of fifty for tbe same period last year, is another reminder that the change which the country voted for last year has arrived on sohednle time.

WMUSSS Angel.

When you've looked this wide worid over. Tender husband,' sighing lover, fangfctantoiltthe so charming with an intuWontrue,

You will find, I think, that woman Is not angel, bnt Just human, Blessed with earthly aspirations, cursed by human frailties too.

Men are ever looking higher Than themselves, and thus aspire From the solemn heights of heaven angel helpmeets to allure.

For I think they're very certain No one found this side tho curtain Of the distant lands of glory could their vagaries endure.

That the poets have applauded As an angel and have lauded re the skies these charming creatures I am perfect!)- aware.

But as angel cannot kiss you. Cling to, fret for, long for, miss you, Ksither oould sho stay from heaven burdened with life's griof and care.

Woman Is no angel truly, But Just flecb and blood as fully the frail and faulty partner or her joys and griefs ean be. Tet if God should angel call her. Still I hope he won't recall her, POT though 6he be not angelic she is good enough for me.

Good enough for man—the sinnerGood as nurse and as breadwinner, to banish gloom around you when God's other lights are dim. Good to guide your feet to virtue. Keep you back from sins that hurt you, Jood to frighten off the specters thronging round death's angel grim.

Constant her devotion ever. Wavering in her friendship never, lantle as a dewdrop (alleth to to aching brow her hand

Warm in her affection, dinging To her loved, tho' ruined, bringing Hope where once was desperation, ruling with unvoioed command.

Good enoughl My heart runs over. Tender husband, sighing lover. When I think of life without her—charming, human woman dear.

Absent—life wero full of sadness Present—full of joy and gladness. know very well site's human, tho' I can't Just make it clear. —Minneapolis Tribune.

TOILET NECESSITIES.

Recipe* for Eaa dr. Cologne wid on fectlve Skin Lotion. Cologne should always have a place on the dresser, but druggists' cologne Is very expensive, besides one often purchases an inferior article at first quality price. A woman can make her own with less than half the price paid at ordinary i\rug stores, and of much better quality than that generally offered for sale. But it must be borne in mind that good cologne Improves by age, and this should not be opened for at least two weeks after it is made. Here Is the recipe.: Twenty drops oil berjjamot ten drops oil lemon ten drops oil neroll ten drops oil rosemary one dram tincture cardamom seeds one pint rectified spirits one drain essence of musk (this can be omitted if not agreeable) mix.

It is the better way to take the recipe to your drug-gist and have him mik it for you and bottle it.

Another thing that should always find a place on the dressing table in 6ontething to keep the hands soft and white. I tried all kinds of lotions, glycerine, cosmollne, and everything that I have heard recommended with no avail, until an old lady, who had issei a lotion for years and her hands were "beautifully soft and white, gave me the recipe. It was just plain India^ corn meal and strong cider vinegar I have tried it two years and 1 find it far ahead of any patent nostruii. I keep an earthen dish filled with it, standing near the wash bowl, and'whenever I have occasion to wash my glands I dip them, after washing, in this preparation, rinse them in clear watier, and dry on a towel, and it keeps them smooth under all circumstances. —Mrs. J. Gaylord, in Ohio Farmer.

ELECTRICITY ON TAP.

The Potent Fluid Now Handled Like Any Merchandise.

Something About tho LAWS Which Control tho KoTWuenti of tho Won* derfttt Power Currents at

Commercial Botes.

Electricity, ODce a plaything then a scientific study, is now a commercial product. Twenty years ago electrical energy was generated In the laboratory for experimental purposes by a few physicians as a medicine of somewhat questionable repute and in weak currents by those who applied it to use In the arts. From the oylinder of glasa or mastic, excited by friction to set cork manikins or pitch balls a-danolng to the dynamo that runs from one to a dozen powerful engines is a long step, but one that has been taken within the memory of men who still call themselves young.

Electricity as a commercial product, according to the New York Sun, is to those that deal in it as commonplace an affair as eggs or butter. T&c conditions and cost of its production are positively known, and the product may be measured almost as the clerk with his yardstick measures dry goods. You may buy your electricity by specific quantities, and if you have the conveniences may carry it home with you as you would carry any other purchase. It can be sent to you by express or delivered by messenger, or it may be served out over a wire in measured quantity, as gas and water are served through pipes. All this seems mysterious to those not technically educated, because the electricity shops do not count their product by dozens or measure it by yards and gallons, but use outlandish denominations and a puzzling scientific nomenclature. Nevertheless the shopkeepers are at home with the mysterious limber thing In which they deal, and they never stop to think about its mystery, although Just beyond the small field which their knowledge covers there lies an un' known area of conjecture.

Electricity as a commercial product and a handy tool, applicable to anyth lng that mechanical power can accomplish, is a thing approximately of only the last ten years. Before that time Its cost made it mostly a matter of splendid practical possibilities. Now, with conditions given, a skilled electrician can estimate to a hair the cost of producing the amount of electricity necessary to yield a specified powi It Is chiefly a question of the cost of coal.

The existence of two simple laws makes electricity a practical power for doing the world's work. One is that when an armature is caused to rotate within the magnetic field a current of electricity is excited in the armatufe and may be taken up, carried out over a wire, and returned to the place of beginning. This is what electricians call' the Jaw of the dynamo. The other law is that when a current of electricity is passed through an armature inclosed within the magnetic field tho armature is caused to rotate. That is what electricians call the law of the motor. By the first law a current of electricity is set up, and by the second that current is enabled to establish mechanical motion. When these two laws became known the problem of applying electricity to the world's work mainly needed for solution only a cheapening of processes, such as should make it possible to produce a current at commercial rates. Every dyrinmo, whatever its form, as regards the communication of electric .energy, is essentially an electro-magnet with a core of soft iron, the armature inclosed within the magnetic field, which is the space between the two poles of the electro-magnet. Every motor, whatever its form, is essentially the same thing, with the core revolving under the influence of a current from the dynamo in accordance with the law of the motor. The core of tho dynamo, revolving under the influence of the magnetic field, is a shaft, the current generated is the belt communicating power tc another shaft, the core of the motor. It is this transference of power by the invisible belt from the dynamo to tho motor that makes the trolley cars run, the electrical engine revolve, or Any other mechanism perform its work under the influence of electricity thus generated -The storage battery is simply an isolated reservoir of electrical energy, for the time being independent of the generating source, as if a user of water should prefer to fill tank in the top of his house once a week rather than to draw from faucets directly connected with the main source of supply.

Wonders of the Insect World. Entomologists generally concedfj that upward of one hundred thousand species of insects have been recognized and classified some authors even place the number at two hupdrcd thousand, and it is even believed that this vast number does not represent more than one-tenth of the number which actually inhabit the globe. One-half of these belong to the Coleoptera, or beetles. Of the butterflies (Lcpidoptera) there are fifteen thousand species, and an equal number may be credited to the Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, etc.), tho Ilemiptcra (bugs in general) and the Diptera (flies). Tho Orthoptera (locusts, grasshoppers, etc.,) are much less numerous, and of the netted winged Insects there are probably less than two thousand.

"I don't like tbe breath of that stove I' exclaimed little Ethel j»eday when tberaa was escaping from the sitting-room stove. Coal gas IB like the-'perfumes ot India," compared with the breath of a person afflicted witlrcatarrb, but among many other symptoms tbe sense of saieU ts often deadened. so the'sufferer is unconscious of the offcnslveness of his presence. Why any one will endure such a painful, dangerous and offensive disease When Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy—costing only 50 centswill cure the most stubborn -case* is one of the many mysteries. The proprietors are so confident of the success of .this Catarrh Remedy, ttlat they offer to forfeit 1500 for anv case of catarrh they- cannot oare. It would be suicide for their remedy, forthem to make this offer, unless they understood its exact powers.

Imitators and Itmpo&ori. The'tnequaled success of Alloock's Porous Plasters as an external remedy has induced unscrupulous parties't* offer imitations, which they endeavor to sell on the reputation of Atlcock's. It is an absurdity to speak of them in the same category as the genuine porous plaster. Their.pretentions are unfounded, Ji heir vaunted merit unsupported by facts,'their alleged superiority to or equality with Allcock's a false proteose.

The ablest medical practitioners and chemists and thousands of grateful patients unite in declaring Allcock's Porous Piasters the best external remedy ever produced.

Bewure of imitations and do not be deceived by misrepresentation: Ask: for Allcock's. and lot no solicitation or explanation induce you to accept a substitute.
