J. 1\ Davidson has lived ill Tlillubnro all his life and has been prominen ly identified with the business interests of the town. He began business life as a school teacher and collector, and was at one time a successful commercial traveler. For three years past he has boon a justice of the peace in Cain township, and two years ago was admitted 10 the Fountain county bar.

A. A.Rice has been a blacksmith here two years. He informed us that he never advert'sed his ability nor asked for a man's trade. Hii work aiiver'ises itself. Hia shop brings trade io the town for miles around. Mr. liice is truly an honest blacksmith.

T. H. McBrooin has res dwl hero for eight years and haB conducted a general •tore. Until recently thu stock was owned byLindville & McBroom. He was bom and raised on a farm near here and has acquiied steady habits and untiring energy His stock cons'slB of dry goods, a fine millinery department, and boots, shoes, yrociris, hat-, caps, clothing etc., displaced on 1.600 feet of floor space.

Sumner Heffner's large hardware •tore is known for miles outside Cain township. Its establishment dates back to September, 1889, when A. D. Sumner and D. P. Heffner purchased the Btoie of Epperson and Sumner. Mr. Sumner has been identified with the mercantile bnsiness here for eleven years and for Dine years previous he did blacUsruithing. Mr. Heffner is with one exception ]*ie oldest merchant in town, having been continuously in it f.ir twenty years. In their handsome large store of 2,700 feet floor space we noted an attractive and shiny looking stock of hardware gV?Yes, a tinghop turning out all kinds tf tlnwaie, and glasStV&re, queensware, implements, wagons and buggies.

J. W. Tinsley has resided here ever since 1869 and is one of the oldest citizens of Hillsboro. Since 1856 he has been a harness maker and his record is his endorsement. Mr. Tinsley makes and Bells the best grade of hand made harness we ever eaw, and carries in stock everything expected in a harness shop, including saddles, robes, blankets, •oilare, trace chains, etc. HiB brother. John D. Tinsley is an experienced repairer and is constancy kept busy at his trade.

C. E. Short has lived here nine years. He haB since owned and managed the Lucas elevator and has done as much in the grain business as any elevator man in towns of the size of Hillsboro or larger. The capacity of this elevator is 3,000 bushel9 of grain and forty barrels of flour.

T. A. Summers, the drugg'st, has re aided here eighteen years and since has conducted a well arranged drugstore. Mr. Summers has sold drugs and druggists' sundries in Wallace, Harveysburg and here for nearly twenty-two years and is certainly an experienced com pounder of prescriptions.

D. J. Wilt has been a blacksmith for thirty-five years and, as such, here for twenty-six yeara. Ten years ago his eon E. J. Wilt, who has had 14 years experience under the able tutorage of hia brother, came into possession of thtshop. They cannot be surpassed in horse shoeing and have made a fine rep utation in repairing and building wag ons, buggies, pumps, pipe and fittings of all kinds.

There is one salooA in Hillsboro and it is as orderly a business as any, asd is conducted strictly to the letter of the law. Charley and Tom Bowers, its managers, have many friends here and are honest in their business. They have for five years sold Old Stone and rye whiskies and the beet brands of bottled beer. Both men are members of the Order of Moose.

James S. Wood has lived here fortythree years, during this time he has farmed and engaged in the manufacturing business. For eight years he has Ajlled wells, sold and repaired pumps and pipes.

The Main street hotel has been under the careful management of H.C.Ellis for seven years. It is centrally located and affords good accommodations. "Will!iams A Frazier are most enterprising hardware and implement deal-, •re. The firm until last September was composed of Messrs. Williams and Tinsley. Mr. Duly., P.

A Blrd'k Peculiar Choice.

A strange nesting place was that once selected by a swallow. At Corton, Lowestoft, England, Mr. Russel Coleman discovered the swallow's nest, with young birds in it, on the revolving part of the machinery of a common windmill. The particular spot chosen was the "wallomer," the outer edge of one of the wheels. The revolutions averaged thirty a minute,and Mr. Coleman estimated that in that time the nest traveled about one hundred and eighty feet. The young birds would certainly be experienced travelers before they left such a nest. The mother bird, when sitting, usually traveled tail foremost, and when she entered or left the nest she had to make use •)t the hole through which the laying Bhaft projected. To do this It was necessary tor her to dodge the sails, which were, of course, hung close to the wall of the mill. When the creaking and shaking of the machinery of a windmill is taken into account, one can hardly fail to be struck with the peculiar taste of the bird that chose such an apparently uncongenial spot in which to rear her young.

River Bank Protection Wanted.

From Great Britain comes a call for

COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY.

Xatore'i TInt» Obtained by Direct I'roceiis—Our Kxpomire of the Plate.

At a meeting of the Royal Photograph society, heia iri.the rooms of the Society of Arts, Prof. Gabriel Lippman described his system of color photography whereby a photograph showing the colors of nature is obtained by direct process and with one exposure of the plate, says the London Times.

The film, which might be of any sensitive substance, he explained, was exposed, delveloped and fixed In the usual way. Two conditions, however, must be observed. The film must, in the first place, be transparent and gralnless, and, in the second, it must be in contact with a metallic mirror during exposure. The effect of the mirror, which was formed by running a layer of mercury in behind the plate, was to reflect back the incident colored rays and thus make the incident light waves stationary. These stationary vibrations, falling in the intwior of the sensitive film, impressed their own structure upon it, and by virtue of the struoture thus imparted to it the brown deposit of silver, when viewed by reflected white light, appeared clothed with the same colors as were possessed by the image in the camera. The colors were produced by "interference" in ttie same way as these of the soap-bubble or mother-of-pearl. That this was their cause M. Lippmann said was proved by the fact that the tints of a negative changed if it were damped, in consequence of the gelatine I swelling slightly, and thus altering the structure of the silver deposit. The colors produced by this process were true and bright, provided that exposure and deU'vopment had been properly conducted they were, horeover, completely fixed and' resisted the action of light and time. He had not yet sueceeded in taking prints from his negatives, but was oonvinced that to do so would be possible. In the course of the lecture a number of results achieved by M. Lippmann were exhibited in the lantern, including colored photographs of the spectrum, stained glass, landscapes, fruit and flowers and the portrait of a little girl. A reproduction of the spectrum of argon showed the characteristic lines of that gas in the most beautiful and distinct manner.

Children's Kiercliet.

The amount of exerese chldhood and youth should be carefully regulated as in many instances ambitious children will far exceed their strength in the effort to avoid being outdone by older and more robust companions. In infaney the almost incessant movements of a baby's limbs show how imperative is the instinct of nature for muscular exercise. Hence it is important not to restrict too much th? freedom of infants, and care should be taken to prevent their clothing being too tight to allow ample freedom for the limbs. Even the cry of a young child is ofteu useful as a means of exercising the muscles of the chest, and in moderation must not be discouraged. The best muscular exercise for young children, says a well known writer, is th9 movement to which they are led by their natural playfulness. They, if left to themselves, will run, tumble and wrestle with each other like sportive kittens. Each limb and every muscie of their bodies wiii by turns rise and fall, swell, contract and perform all the actions of which they are capable. They are hardly at rest a moment,or.d each movement they make is of the freest and most graceful kind. Noih ing can be more favoraMe for the firsi development of the muscular system, and, in fact, for vigorous growth and sound health, than the motions of a child in the free indulgence of its playful moods. During childhood and youth efforts should be made to exercise every important muscie of the bodj, each in its turn, so as to secure for all a complete and symmetrical development and consequently robust health.

Source of Wonder­

ment to Foreign Slstera.

Among Europeans of what are called the upper classes much surprise is constantly expressed at the freedom with which American women travel unescorted through Europe. A recently recalled American minister to a continental court was once asked by a court official: "Haf American wifes no husbands at all, then? They come—three, four, six at once to court. They ask to be presented to the king they ask to be invited to state dinners they must walk in mit a duke. There are not dukes enough to go round. Why do not their husbands come and walk in mit some duchesses?" At the Austrian court no Americans outside of the diplomatic circle are presented very few at Berlin while Queen Margherlta of Italy, who has been more hospital to our people than any other continental sovereign, has recently declined to receive any married woman unaccompanied by her husband. "Have they no homes in their own country, these poor ladies?" asked a Frenchwoman, "that they spend months or years in Europe wandering about alone?" It was explained to her that American men often remained at home earning the money necessary to send their wives and daughters abroad for the education which foreign travel gives. "If that be

Gilbert's first picture was exhibited in 1836. It wae a water color draw­

ing, and its subject was "The Arrest of Lord Hastings by the Protector, Richard Duke of Gloucester." In the same year he exhibited an oil painting in the Royal Academy and In 1S39 he exhibited at thd British Institution. From that time forwva his pictures •were seen "/instantly IK last named gallery an\ occasionally at the academy. Most of his paintings have been historical, many of them were suggested by the classics in English and continental humor. His brush was busy up to 1890, in which year he painted "Onward."

He was better known to the Englishspeaking public as an illustrator of books and periodicals than as a painter. Among his most important illustrations are those of an edition of Shakespeare, upon which he spent several years. In 1871 he was elected president of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colors, in whose galleries lie has been a constant exhibitor. He was knighted more than twenty-five years ago. In 1876 he was elected a

Sir John for many years refused to sell any of his paintings, with a view to one day presenting them to the nation. In 1888 he divided the collection among the art galleries of London, Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool. At that time he was presented with the freedom of the City of London, an honor that was never before and has never since been given to any artist.

BEFORE THE BULL FIGHT.

Chapel Where the Toreador Pruyi That Be Mar Kill Sn eesafnlly.

"Now," said my friend, "we will go to the chapel." "The chapel?" "Why, yes, the next room is a small chapel where every toreador goes before the fight to pray and ask God and his patron saint that his life be spared, and that he be given the courage and strength to take that of the bull." We entered the small chapel, at one end of which was an altar covered with (lowers and lighted candles, in the middle a crucifix and behind a painting of the Virgin Mjary. sayB a writer in the Illustrated American. One of the toreadors came In and, kneeling at the end of the altar, began to pray. What a contrast! This man, covered with silk and gold, kneeling in front of the Christ, asking for the protection of the kind and sweet lover of humanity, and asking (in order to kill) the protection of Him to whom all lives are dear and precious. "You see the man there kneeling and praying?" said my friend. "Well, he is Manuel Garcia, generally called 'Espartero,' the greatest living toreador. He is the first espado of Spain and is celebrated for

hiB

courage. When he sticks the sword in the bull's neck he never jumps aside, as other toreadors do no, he wanta to stop the bull there, to kill him on the spot. As It Is nearly impossible, he has often been seriously wounded by dying bulls. He has saved over 100,000 pesetas. He will retire from the ring a rich man in another year." The man had finished praying. He left the chapel shaking hands with his friends, and I could not help thinking, "A rich man in one year yet, provided But I did not dare to flnish my thought even to myself, and raising my eyes to the crucifix I murmured involuntarily, "God, spare him."

THE ENGLISH HANDS.

A WELL KNOWN PA

1ST F1NDS IN THEM

No Trace of Dl*ea«o»- There Are No Sliarp l,!nes of Demarcation ltctweea Classes, as In France and Italy—The

Caasca of Urcnt Britain'* Greatneis.

ME. THEBES, the well known palmist, went to England recently with the intention of studying the hand* of certain prominent English people, her ultimate object being to ascertain, by means of such studg, the

causeB of Great Britain's greatness. She has now returned to Paris, and has given a curious account of her experiences in tiagland. "The average English hand." slM saya, "clearly denotes happiness. All these fin^prs are firm and slightly red, the fingers are square, which is a tokan ot punctuality, geed sense, energy and activity. Honesty is also denoted, and this will not surprise those who know how upright Knglifluaee are. The English women have long ffetroba, which is a sign of stroag win valess nontrary lines in the hand mcr?Ify this tendency. Now, all these qualities which I have mentioned are good, and those who possess them are naturally happy and fortunate. "Furthermore, I examined nearly a thousand hands among all olasses of society—courtiers, as well as working people—and in all I found one very characteristic sign, namely, the sentiBlent of unity o£ the Anglo-Saxon raee. This sign is not to be found in French hands. According t# a person's rank and social position in France will his or her hand be. B7 m#ans of the hand S can always, in Fiance, distinguish the aristocrat from the plebeian. "In English hands there are no traces of organic diseases. In the thousands which I examined I found only one aaae of typhoid fever, and in this instance the disease was contracted abroad. No one. who knows the progress of hygiene in England ean be surmised at this absesee of disease. Neither did I find in the *mafls of menbets of the English court any presages of accidents, such as I have found la French hands, nor of revolution, such as I have found at the court of Italy. "In what respects the English bands differ from the French and Italian hands I cannot yet say, but I intend to return to England and Italy, and to

Btudy the subject thoroughly. I will also go to Germany and to Russia, and I expect to make some curious discoveries. "The usefulness of such work is manifest, though at the same time it is certain that many of the casualties foreshadowed by the hands cannot, as a rule, be avoided. A person who is threatened with a violent blow on the head will find it very difficult to escape it. Still, by the use of will power aad by taking ail necessary precautions, it may be avoided. I have seen in the hands of young women unquestionable indications of injury through Bome iron instrument, and as all of then rode bicycles I unhesitatingly advised them to give up this amusement."

Tb* Oattea la India.

'In India all save the lowest caste, what we call pariahs, can rise in the world, as we Western folk count rl»ing. They can become as rich as they like they can enter government service, become merchants, lawyers, anything they please. $ut caste Is a religious and Beclal distinction which is self-supporting, self-contained. A Brahmin is always a Brahmin, even if he be a servant. I remember ene case where the Rajah of a hiU state always salaamed to the servant of a friend ef mine. The servant was of a higher position than the ruler of the |n which jo served." "Then a member of the lowest easte, or pariahs, has no chance of rising?" "None as a Hindu. If he becomes a Mohammedan—which only requires a retraction of their creed before witnesses—he takes his position among his new co-religionists. Of course., to Hindus he remains Tabu, as all Mohammedans are, even of the highest rank. Theoretically, he would be the equal of every one professing the faith of Islam, but in most ways he would be, but not in marriage. He would find great difficulty in getting a wile ot good class, no matter how rich he might be for money and position count for little in India. The poorest and lowliest intermarry with the highest if they axe of good easte. Ot course, caBte is essentially Hindu, hot in the Punjab, which is largely Mohammedan, the exclusive feeling of caste extends to the latter. 1 remember, for instance, a Mohammedan nobleman of the highest rank, enoraously wealthy, finding the greatest difficulty in securing a wife in what I may tall his class, because his mother had not been of a reputable elass. It would not have been so difteatt a task in Eng. land. Briefly, then, an outcast— though this is a misnomer, since the scavengers, or pariahs, never belonged to any caste at by changing his occupation—that Is, ceasing to be a scavenger and Washing unclean things—and becoming a Mohammedan, can rise, as we eoust rising, in the world. But, virtually, he remains ths man he was born*"—itomaaitartan.

WM

Racing Man.

From the Westminster Gaaette: Henry George had a quaint humor of his own, and could tell a good story against himself. During his Australian tour one of his friends in Sydney suggested to the secretary of a local racing club that it would be a graceful thing to send Mr. George a complimentary ticket for the race meeting then at hand. The papers were at the time devoting maay columns to the reports of George's meetings and discussions on his doctrines, but the sportsmanhati evidently not read them. "Who is Mr. George?" he asked. "I never heard of him before." "Why, he's a man of world-wide celebrity." "Does he own any horse?" queried the secretary. "Yes, two very fast trotters, Progress and Poverty." "Oh. all right," Baid the now satisfied secretary here's a ticket for him."

An Aitoonded Porter** Philosophy.

Henry George was traveling once on a sleeping car. The porter came to brush the dust off him and "work" him for the customary quarter. There were but few passengers. George reflected on the fact that ftillman paid hiB poor black hireling little or nanght, and relied on his ability to brush and gouge the public instead, and he determined to give him all thb ebacge be found in his pocket. He thought there might be about 60 cents, but there actually was 93 in quarter*, halves and dimes. He gave all to the darky, who dropped his broom aad stared at the tip and then at George, '"mis al to' me, boss?" he grasped. "It's all for you," replied George. The darky looked at the little, rusty, modest man and again at his handful of silver. "Wow!" he ejaculated "it's true as de Good Book put it, you nevah cain tell how fah a toad kin jump twell you sees him hon."

The Do* Got Homethtk.

When Mrs. Prances Lee and family, residing eight miles east of Versailles, left about one month ago ever land for Vinita, I. T., they were accompanied by the faithful old shepherd watch dog Carlo. The dog had arrived at a ripe old age, and though unaccustomed to traveling long distances and averse to giving up hiB IQast Morgan home and friends, he stood the trip well and without a murmur. Three days of life in the Indian Territory sufficed, however, for Carlo. He simply shook the Vinita dust from his feet and footed it back to Morgan, arriving «t his old heme about a week ago. Our informant, "Hy" Madole, who saw Carl the day of his return and read a lette f:cm Vinita of his mysterious disappearance after three days' sojourn there, says the dog was footsore, fagged out and hungry as a—dog. He was happy, though, at being home again, and showed his appreciation by the canine smile and wag of a tired tall.— Versailles (111.) Leader. «.,•
