McLean's

Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there it beyond doubt no greater or more popular newspaper in the United States than the Cincinnati Enquirer or ,a more successful publisher than its proprietor, Mr. John R. McLean.

The old-time prices for the Daily Enqbirer hiave been maintained, and its circulation largely increased each year hard times and cheaper journals failing t^arrest its onward march and high appreciation of the public for merit.

Wpeltly JpjBquirer, at beginning

°f ^he(,campaigni year was offered at So cents a year, and its circulation increased by the addition of over 200^000 new subscribers the most substantial and coveted testimonial a publisher could desire.

When asked for the secret of such sucaess Mr. MfcLean frankly answers: The Enquirer has no opinions to force upon its patrons, it simply, prints the facts and tells the truth that the reader may form his own opinions By S maintaining the price of the paper, mor£ news' and greater variety can be furnished, and eVery class of business,

A LORN WIDOW

Works Township Trustees and City Mayors With'Her Scheme. For t» or tbree weeks past a "lone lorn, forsaken, deceived and betrayed widow" baa been feasting off the township trustees and city mayors of northern Indiana.

At Peru she was a Mrs. Hastings, of Iowa. She came all the way to Peru to meet a man {she was to marry and the groom elect, who had her money could not be found. On the plea that she had been betrayed and robbed aod was penniless the authorities gave her money and a return ticket to Iowa. Last Saturday the same woman turned up at Frankfort, as a Mrs. Huhgerford, of Wisconsin. There she told the trus tee she was to meet one Charles Sanderson to be married. He failed to show up. He borrowed $285 of her, ebe said to pay on a hotel in Frankfort. The acheme worked. The trustee gave her cash and a ticket to Manistique, Mich.

At Logansport the woman worked the same game. The cash went down into her pocket and the tickets were sold to the nearest scalper. The woman is a right swindler, and has gathered up in the neighborhood of $300 in the past two weeks in this part of the state.

William Gaynor, under euBpician of being one of the men who killed druggist Will Counts, at Reeleville, Putnam Coon the 1st of December, in an attempt at robbery, was arraigned before Squire Denny|Monday. His preliminary hear ing was set for Friday next. Gaynor waa then taken into the presence of George Black, the clerk with Mr. Counts at the time of tbe murder, and black identified him as the man wbo ordered him to throw up his hands. The officers think that they have a good case against Gaynor and Gray, both of whom are at Greencastle in jail.

LL FISHES have nerves, and in some respects fishee are extremely sensitive. A fish that has burled itself in sand or mud so el a only the tip of its tail fin is above the bottom will_ feel ha

slightest touch and instantly dart out of its sandy bed. A fish is very sensitive to movements in the water surrounding it. A shadow falling upon the water will startle a fish into flight. But sensitive as fishes are in some respects, it is probable that they do not suffer pain from injuries received. Fishes are extremely sensitive at the nose. A fish that had in pursuit of prey run Its nose against a rock might shake Its head violently, perhaps in pain, but fishes sustain serious injuries from actual wounds without showing any indication of pain. In fact, the indications tend to show that they do not suffer.

The Sleep of Seeds.

Prof. De Candolle of Geneva has recently brought together many interesting facts about the latent life of seeds, and their ability to withstand very low temperatures. After recalling instances in which seeds have sprouted after lying apparently dead for hundreds of years—in one case 1,500 years —he gives the results of experiments on subjecting seeds to a freezing cold. Corn, oats, fennel and some flower seeds were exposed during 118 days to a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit below aero. Afterward, when placed in suitable surroundings, nearly all of the fennel, oat and corn seeds, and many of the others germinated. He concludes tihat the protoplasm, or the principle of life, in a resting seed, is in a state of inaction not comparable to that of a smoldering fire, but rather like that of a chemical mixture, which is capable of forming a combination whenever the required conditions of temperature and illumination are present.

"Old Cariosity Shop."

About thirteen years ago crowds of people flocked to the narrow and crooked little street, known as Portsmouth street, leading from Portugal street to Lincoln's Inn Fields, for a rumor was spread abroad that the house reputed to be the home of Little Nell was about to be demolished by order of the board of works. This, however, was a false alarm. The board had only ordered it to be shored up, as the adjoining house was in danger of collapse. The question of its removal was, however, only a matter of time, and now the time has arrived. Its demolition will very shortly be effeoted as a part of the wholesale improvements going forward in this neighborhood, and which have already claimed two historic taverns—the George IV. •nd the Black Jack—and the last of the old bulk shops. Though the loss of all these associations is a matter for much regret, it cannot be doubted that the clearing of this squalid and congested congeries of byways will be a very real improvement. There is the usual difference of opinion as to the actual building which Dickens had in his mind's eye when he wrote "The Old Curiosity Shop." The novel Uself dees not give any trustworthy clew, and the distinction has been claimed for 24 Fet ter lane, which was pulled down early

in 1891. The preponderance of opinion inclines to Portsmouth street, which is in a neihborhood replete with associations of Dickens. The street, which originally bore the queer name of Louches building, takes its present name from Portsmouth House, built by Inigo Jones for the Earl of Portsmouth, the front of which is still standing, but the interior has been entirely transformed to meet the requirements of modern da.va. The quaint old house we illustrate is believed to be the romriant of the dairy-house of Louise de Kerhouel. Duchess of Portsmouth, the "baby-faced" beauty, who so long held the too-susceptible Charles II. in thrall. Thus tha name of the street is sometimes derived from the duchess rather than the earl. 1 —H

"Th6 English royal 'fcojpinissian on' ypocination, which ha's'"been busy during seven years obtaining information, recently made an inlerosting report. .The commission concluded that the wrotection which vaccination affords

agaiMt smallpox is greatast during the years Immediately succeeding the operation and that while the time varies in different cases, the average period of highest protection may be fixed at nine or ten years. Afterward the protective efficacy rapidly diminishes, for which reason the commission deems that the value of revaccination can scarcely be overestimated. As t9 the injurious effects alleged to result from vaccination, the commission says that when considered in relation to the extent of vaccination work done, they are insignificant. Besides, there is reason to believe that they are diminishing under the better precautions of the present day.

An Ammlat Trick.

The little figures sihown in the accompanying illustration are in no way remarkable for the grace of their persons or their attitudes, but they will give you some amusement, nevertheless. Fashion them as well as you can out of cardboard and glue them to the Inside of an ordinary dish Bhaped like that in the cut. You will notice that they are arranged in regular order, according to the position of the arms. First, there is one with its arms hanging straight down then comes one with its arms slightly elevated, and so on, to the last, which has its arms straight up over its head. Now place the dish in a plate larger than it is, and by giving it a turn you may make it revolve freely, pour half an inch of water into the plate, and that will facilitate matters. If you make a hole with a pin in a piece of cardboard and look through it at the figures as the dish revolves, there will appear to be only one figure, whose arms are moving up and down constantly. In other words, this arrangement is a home-made zoetrope. You may also use the device to play a game. Instead of cardboard imitations of the human form, use strips on which are marked certain numbers, say, from 1 to 5. You may therefore have five players, each to select a num

ber. Now set the dish to revolving, and the player whose number stops nearest the goal wins. The goal may be any figure that is stationary, like the little bust shown in the cut. The game may consist of any desired number of revolutions.

The Potato as an Article of Food.

While it is probable that millions of persons have subsisted largely upon the potato, it is a dietetic fact that this Important article of food is going out of fashion, and that at a very rapid rate. The best authorities frown upon it. Hygienic experts speak ill of it, and those who are in the habit of giving very close attention to the subject of scientific feeding will have none of it, and are much given to declaring that the potato is responsible for more" dyspepsia than anything else in the world. The first potato planted in England went into the ground in 1596 and its Introduction in Ireland was almost ait the same date. For a couple of hundred years the potato was looked upon as a sort of vegetable curiosity. It was occasionally eaten, but always as a delicacy. It was preserved, candied, done in sweetmeats and spices, roasted with marrow or steeped in sack. Marie Antoinette wore the flowers and considered them wonderfully beautiful. The Pommeranian farmers planted potatoes at the point of the sword, for Frederick the Great had said, "Plant potatoes," and that was the end' of it. In 1771 and 1772 a famine in Germany made the inhabitants of that country familiar with the food value of the potato. It is thought that the Spanish brought the potato to Virginia. It grows wild in Chili and Peru, and was, according to accounts, taken by the Spanish to Spain, and there planted until it became an article of common use. It is generally supposed that the potato is a root, but this is not true. It is an underground stem, which is swollen and increased by stores of starch laid up for some, ns yet. undiscovered purpoie. The egg-phi«i: tobacco and the potato boloiig im, the same genus, and it is an interestingitem that both t'he potato and tobacco were first taken to Europe from America.

Ants With Unbrellas.

The doings of ants are among the most interesting things that naturalists find to study. No members of the insect world present more startling suggestions of intelligence and forethought governing their actions. It is not correct, however, to explain the habits and conduct of ants by human analogies. For instance, it was once supposed that the so-called "parasol ants," living in hot tropical countries, carried little leaves above their heads for the sake of protection from the sun. Later investigations have shown that I the ants actually do carry leaves, suspended by the stem which they hold in their jaws, and that columns of them thus furnished with leaves, like an 1 army with banners, march in regular order but that (lie leaves, instead of I being intended to .shelter the ants from [..the smnshine, arc deposited by them aroiuul their no^ts to. form a. soil in. which grows a kljid, of fungus that ihey ,-arp fiiiid of. So tlio parasol ant (s not a dandy, but a farmer.
