In point of membership in the order of Knights of Pythias. Indiana stands second in the list with over GO.OOO members. Ohio leads with a total of 72,000 Knights within her borders.

While getting ready for her morning plunge a young society girl of Lima discovered something bright and shining in the clear water. It proved to be a white diamond, which looked as though it had never been set. None of the family had lost such a treasure. How it got in the tub is a mystery, unless it came direct from the faucet, having been lost in the reservoir. Mr. Cristy, a farmer living close to Rockford, Ohio, was in our city yesterday trying to purchase a hundred bushel of clover seed from Niblick and Co. This firm was unable to accommodate Mr. Cristy and he was forced to return to his home sorely dissappointed. From what we were able to learn from him the farmers in that section of the country had pooled together and were trying to secure this much seed. There will be a fair supply of walnuts and hickory nuts this year, the hazel nut especially will be plentiful. Small boys, who have been in the woods this early investigating matters, report that the prospects for a good nut supply is very promising. The fact that the summer has had more rain than usual has made all nuts fill out well and all that is needed now to make the crop one of the best for several seasons is a hard frost.

OrlKin of •‘Bluestockings?’ Burke, apropos of “Evelina,” paid Fanny Burney this high compliment: “We have had an age for statesmen, an age for heroes, an age for poets, an age for artists, but thls’’-with a gallant bow to Fanny—“is the age for women.” The name “bluestockings,” given to these distinguished women, arose, according to Fanny Burney in her “Memoirs of Her Father,” from an apology made by Mr. Stillingfleet in declining an invitation of Mrs. Vesey’s to a literary meeting at her house. “I am not properly dressed for such a party,” he pleaded. “Pho. pho,” she cried, taking him and his dress all in at a glance, “don’t mind dress! Come in your blue stockings.” This he did, and “those words ever after were fixed in playful stigma upon Mrs. Vesey's associations.” —T. P.'s London Weekly.

What We Stand On. The density of the earth as a whole has been estimated, with close agreement among the scientists who have made the determination by different methods, to be about 5.5, or five and a half times as heavy as an equivalent sphere of water. On the other hand, the average density of the materials forming the accessible parts of the earth’s crust is between 2.5 and 3, so that the mean density of the whole globe is about twice that of its outer part. This indicates that the central part of the earth is composed of heavier mate rials and may even be metallic, which condition, says the Engineering and Mining Journal, would accord perfectly with the nebular hypothesis. Nature and Broken Bones. In the splicing of broken bones nature can give tbe best surgeon pointers. When a bone is broken the splintered ends are surrounded with cartilage until they are firmly held in position. Then gradually a layer of bone is placed between them and soldered together. All the physician has to do Is to bring the two ends of the bones together so that the point will be smooth and even. Nature's little agents do the rest—New York Tribune.

I. L. Babcock made a business trip to Fort Wayne this morning. Women are not given to brevity of speech, but they can admire it on occasion and they will uniformly applaud the language used by a Baltimore min, wha has just died, in making his will. That document consists of ten words, reading thus: “This is my will; I leave everything to my wife.” A Kansas farmer has hit upon a great scheme. He owns an automobile, and as fast as he milks he pours the milk into a capacious tank fastened in the rear. When the milking is done, he gets in and rides around the plowed ground until the milk his been churned to butter. Thus he combines business and pleasure, and makes money at the same time. No. 4, the south bound mail train last Friday morning destroyed a mail sack and a lot of mail in throwing it off at the station. The sack could not be found and mail was found scattered along the track as far is the lob ditch. The Illinois Oil Co. checks were in the mail and seven of them were missing. Other checks were also found torn to pieces. This is not the first time this miil has been torn up in this manner. —Geneva Herald. Many persons do not think when they ask their favorite preacher to at a great or perhaps a little amount at a great or peraps a little amount of expense in carrying out their wishes. Sometimes he is out for car fare, sometimes for livery hire, etc. It is no more than right that his services should be paid for as well as for a wedding. Many persons are thoughtful enough to remember this but occasionally the preacher receives nothing for his trouble.

We can sell you a better buggy for less money than any one else. We say this without restriction or qualification. We are right here to demonstrate it. Compare our vehicles with anything offered by anyone, anywhere, any time. We have been in the buggy business for over 30 years and in that time \\ SpM have learned a great deal about this business. We —w—feel we have been succes- / n ful i n securing the agenv c y f° r t^ie b est ma^es °f the country. Among them are Th; Union City Carriage Co’s., John Deere Carriage Co’s, and The Rex & McFarland Carriage Co’s, lines of high grade and medium priced buggies and carriages, which gives us an assortment second to none in the state. You will be interested in looking them over Come to us first or come to us last. We are sure that on a fair or square comparison you will come to us in the end. We make no extravagant claims —that’s a catalogue house trick. We have no $75 buggies at $32.48.
