Enteral at tho PostolHee a to Crawfordsville, Indiana, as second-class matter.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6,1893.

Cbawpokdsvtlle is doing her share to swell the big republican rally at Indianapolis this week.

TnE Big Four railroad baa repaid the former patronage of Crawfordeville in a very shabby manner this week.

THE police arrested several young smart alecks last evening for disorderly conduct on the streets. A great deal more of this laudable work could have but a wholesome effect.

The Louisville & Nashville Kailroad employes will make a great mistake if they enter upon a strike, as the conditions have never before been so unfavorable to the success of thai sort of tornfoolerv.

CLOSURE may have to be resorted to in the Senate in order to force a vote on the repeal question at some reasonably early date. Closure in such a case would certainly be indorsed by the countrv.

WE will soon be able to see if the agitation of the tariff question with a view to abolishing protective duties is calculated to stimnlate depressed manufactures and put a stop to the reduction of wages.

THE new screen ordinance backed by a strong petition would probably have passed the council Monday night had ^it bien presented. There is not a single councilman under the control of tLe saloons.

Iv there were about six less gambling houses in Crawfordeville would money be easier? Would not the money lost by "suckers" to "professionals" be spent with the grocer, the drygoods man, the druggist, the shoe dealer, the clothier or the hardware dealer?

Mn. Yanarsdall should remember that the whole system of sewerage need not ba built at once bat after the plane are once made construction can proceed in accordance with these plans gradually and with as little expense as under the present lack of system.

CASH is becoming more plentiful New York every day, and the same thing is true of the other business centersPremiums on money have almost disappeared. This week or next is likely to see the beginning of the surrender of clearing house certificates by the banks in New York.

AFTER all perhaps the police are not so much to blame and perhaps the CouDcil are not so much at fault either for the lax enforcement of the laws. If public opinion demanded it the Police Board would see to it that the police enforced the laws. The real fault lies in an unaroused publio sentiment.

COUNCILMAN BETNOLDS says that he proposes to agitate the "police question" regardless of all political considerations, in which undertaking he will have the hearty support of the law abiding people of the city who are in a big majority in Crawfordsville even if they do sometimes take Rip Van Winkle sleeps.

THE latest estimates of wheat production in Ibis country in 1893 are 440,000,000 or 450,000,000 bushels. This makes the yield nearly 00,000,000 bushels greater then was looked for a month or two ago. But even if it were 50,000,000 larger still, there would, from present indications, be a demand for it in the next eight or ten months.

THE decorations on Franklin street have attracted the attention of persons from all parts of the west on their way to the encampment and the folders telling about Crawfordsville distributed among the passengers will not let them forget where it was they saw such evidences of patriotism and enterprise. In more ways than one the decorations have been a good thing for Crawfordsville.

IF there is any good reason why saloon keepers and gamblers as a class should be allowed to violate the laws every day year in and year out without practicully any hindrance while other people are expected to observe them and as a rule are made to suffer when they don't, we would be glad to give space for its publication. David Harter innocently broke the law by tearing up the street for a sewer without a permit and was promptly called to time. Nearly every saloon keeper in town breaks the law habitually and is very seldom disturbed. Aside from all temperance talk, where is the common sense or justice in this?

Hor Day.

Ho was a mighty, rolling river Sho was a little, rippling rill

1

He waa a mountain naught could shiver She was a tiny, shifting hill. was a lion, loudly roaring

She was a lambkin, boru to love: He was an eagle, proudly soaring She was a gentle, cooing dove. He was a sturdy oak, defiant

Sho was a slender, clinging vino He was a brave and brawny giant She was a wee thing feminine.

Ah, hut the day when they went shopping She was the one who look the lead She was the earth, so far o'ertopping

Hun that he .seemed a mustard seed! —Washington Post.

A Sunset.

A single sunset hath more loveliness Than all the boasted paintings kings possess. Take the rare moment ere the large sun sinks Behind far hills and their mysterious brinks. Then Nature revels in most glorious mood And shows her powers as if tosliame our brood. —Clarence A. Busklrk.

Success.

Those who succeed will always have their crown. While thousands just as noble, and who strive As eagerly to win the self same boon, Find at the end an ignominious grave. They sink 'mid sneers and slander into death. Or die forgotten in oblivion's night. —Walter Malone.

He that respects himself is safe from others. He wears a ooat of mail that none can pierce. —Longfellow.

THE SNAIL'S MOUTH.

It I. Well No BIr WUd Beast Has One Like It. "It is a fortunate thing- for man and the rest of the animal kingdom," said the naturalist to a New York Sun man, "that no large wild animal has a mouth constructed with the devouring apparatus built on the plan of the Insignificant looking snail's mouth, for that animal could out devour anything that lives. The snail itself is such an entirely unpleasant, not to say loathsome, creature to handle that few amateur naturalists care to bother with it, but by neglecting' tho snail they miss studying one of the most interesting objects that come under their observation. "Anyone who has noticed a snail feeding on a leaf must have wondered how such a soft, flabby, slimy animal can make such a sharp and oiean-out Incision in the leaf, leaving the edge as smooth and straight as if it had been cut with a knife. That is due to the peculiar and formidable mouth he has. The snail eats with his tongue and the roof of his mouth. The tongue is a ribbon which the snail keeps in a coil in his mouth. This tongue is in reality a band saw, with the teeth on the surface Instead of on the edge. The teeth are so small that as many as thirty thousand of them have been found on one snail's tongue. They are exceedingly sharp, and only a few of them are in use at a time. Not exactly only a few of them, but a few of them comparatively, for the snail will probabty have four or five thousand of them in use at once. He does this by means of his coiled tongue. lie can uncoil as much of this as he chooses, and the uncoiled part he brings into service. The roof of his mouth is as hard as bone. He grasps the leaf between his tongue and that hard substance, and rasping away with his tongue saws through the toughest leaf with ease, always leaving the edge smooth and straight. "By use the teeth wear off or besome dulled. When the snail finds that this tool is becoming blunted he uncoils another section and works that out until he lias come to the end of the ooil. Then he coils the tongue up igain and is ready to start in new, for while he has been using the latter portions of the ribbon the teeth have grown in again in the idle portions— the saw has been filed and reset, so to speak—and while he is using them the teeth in the back part of the coil are renewed. So I think I am right in saying that if any large beast of prey was fitted up with such a devouring apparatus as the snail has it would go hard with the rest of the animal kingdom."

REPRODUCING PAST CONDITION.

in Austrian Physician's Interesting Experiments With a Human Subject. At a general meeting held the other day by the Psychological and Neurological Society of Vienna at the general infirmary Dr. Baron von Krafft, a physician skilled in the treatment of nervous maladies, oonductcd a series of experiments intended to throw light on the possibility of the mental reprodvction of an earlier condition of existence, says the New York Evening Post. These experiments dealt, he said, with a question of the highest psychological interest—that is, whether it was possible by artificial means to put a person back into the condition of a former period of his life. Either what he had to show them was a piece of consummate acting or a reperception of unconscious existence. In the latter case the experiments would prove that nothing which had once been experienced was so completely forgotten that It might not in certain exceptional circumstances be restored to consciousness. The woman upon whom the experiments were made was thirty-three years of age, and had for four or five years acted as medium for an amateur hypnotizer—a fact In itself enough to excite suspicion. The doctor said that he would sueccessively snggest to her while in the hypnotic state that she was, first, at the age of seven, then of fifteen, and lastly of nineteen years, and take specimens of her handwriting at each stage of the experiment. Her manner, ho said, would correspond to the various ages. The medium was then introduced and put through.the experiments, in all of which she is said to have exhibited a marked naturalness and a striking change of voice, attitude and movement in accordance with the different periods of life, her handwriting also undergoing many changeB. In the discussion which followed it was generally held that the power of reproduction of past conditions of existence through hypnotic suggestion had not been established, and that the possibility of error or deception had not been excluded. The experiments, however, were considered to be of sufficient interest to call for further investigation.

Proof of Merit.

The proof of the merits of a plaster is the cures it effects, and the voluntary testimonials of those who have used Allcock's Porous Plasters during the past thirty years is unimpeachable evidence of their superiority and should convince the most skeptical Self praise is no recommendation, but certificates from those who have used them are.

RUSSIAN COLONIES.

Discovery of an Ingenious Gentleman oa Catherine's Tour ot Inspection. Some great man in Russia, Prince Potemkln or another, was commissioned by Empress Catherine II. to colonize the regions adjoining the river and provided -with the requisite funds. These funds he diverted from their proper use. When tho ompress came on her tour of inspection she passed down the stream in slow and impressive fashion, borne in a state barge. Every afternoon she sighted a neat and charming village on the bank, and, going on shore, was hailed by a band of prosperous peasants in gala attire. Passing from house to house, sho woulfl see an abundant meal smoking on the board, frequently including a roast suckingpig. There was, it is trne, a certain similarity between one village and another but this was easily explained by the fact of all being designed by the same government architect. And so the inspection went on, with complete satisfaction to all parties concerned, till a malicious person in the imperial suite happened to bethink himself of his penknife and while the intelligent oottagers were busy answering Catherine's questions he slyly amputated the tail of the sucking-pig. In the next cottage the family was about to regale—on the tailless stick ing-pigl The main result was that the empress ever after looked w' tn great disfavor on, not Fetemkin, but the ingenious gentleman with the penknife.

British Pnnlshments.

The only instrument used purely for punishment in her majesty's jail nowadays is a crank handle weighted heavily with lead and working heavilyinside a box, an. indicator at a slit recording the number of revolutions made—eight thousand to eleven thousand constituting a day's work. Among the purely mechanical labor is included the working at the crank handles of the huge water pump, and by cranks, too, all the meal used in t.he prison is ground, but in the case of the corn-grinding the prisoner may rest as often as -he likes provided he gets through his allotted task.

Queen Victoria's Will.

Queen Victoria made her will in 1SS6. It is engrossed on vellum, quarto size, and is bound as a volume, secured with a private lock. Several blank pages have been left at the end of the book for codicils, some of which have already been added. Thus, when

Princess Alice died, in 18T8, modifications of the bequests were rendered necessary- and in the summer of 1S84, after the duke of Albany's death, further revisions were imperative. One entry relates entirely to the disposal of the queen's jubilee gifts, which are not the property of the nation.
