While a man may love his friends, he is more likely to brag to them than of them. If fresh air were more expensive, not so many people would be willing to do without it. Special Judge R. H. Hartford of Portland arrived yesterday afternoon on a business trip. This season of the year a woman can get more in a handbag than a man can pack in a trunk. A sick man is such a sorry sight that the wonder is that a trained nurse ever fell in love with a patient. With suitable special scenery a »oinan invalid may show iq but a sick man always looks the Old Harry. Miss Helen Diller and Harold Smith left yesterday for Hartford City where they will visit a few days with relatives and friends. Mrs. Eva Hill of Decatur, Ind., returned home this morning, after spending a few days as the guest of her sister, Mrs. I. Z. Taylor, and Mrs. Charles Vintz, and her niece, Mrs. George Aurand.—Sturgis Times-eDmo-crat.

To secure correct instruction, an apparatus which embodies th vital parts of a fireplace and provides for proper air circulation and control, has been introduced, says the January Popular Mechanics Magazine. It combines a gathering chamber, down-draft check, .hroat, and draft-control damper. When a fireplace is being erected, this appliance may be built in to connect the grate opening with the flue, thus assuring an intelligent arrangement of the different members. A draft plate is fitted in the down-draft check, which is at the bottom of the gathering chamber, and is operated by a chain from one side of the outer wall. Farmers and hunters are reporting a number of dead quail found. The extreme cold weather and the feed covered with a deep covering of snow prevent the quail from getting to the ground where they can find subsistence and starve and freeze. Many farmers are putting out feed and straw for quail, wherethey know covies frequent, thus keeping them from starving and freezing to deatlj. Strict quarantine has been established around the farm of Edward Gordelet, six miles from Fort Wayne, on the Goshen road, in Washington township, where forty-three head of cattle and many hogs are infected with the hoof and mouth disease. '*iie infected cattle and hogs will be appraised ami killed. The car and locomotive market looks more promising than at any time in months. The American Locomotive company has booked fifty lo- 1 comotives for the Ilinois Central railroad besides twenty locomotives for delivery in Greece. The Illinois Central also is figuring on 2,000 cars. The Reading railroad recently placed 500, box cars with the American Car and Foundry company, and the Westmoreland Coal and Coke company has bought 200 cars from the Cambria Steel company. The Dupont Powder company recently placed about 100 cars with an eastern builder. East em railroads are entering upon negotiations with steel mills for their rail needs for next year. Details of these negotiations have not been made public, but it is known the New York. Ontario & Western railroad is one of the active inquirers. In the January Woman's Home Companion Charles E. Jefferson pastor of Broadway Tabernacle, New York City, writes a war article entitled 'A Continent on Fire," an interesting extract from which follows. -No one in time of peace can understand what war is. We may prepare for it, but we d \ not 7 allZe "X ry kwc are preparing for.

' A law to prevent eloping couples 1 from other states and particularly from Chicago, marrying auddenly in • Michigan has been drawn up by a , commission and been recommended • for passage at the winter’s session of the legislature. A meeting or tne creditors of Winona, lias been called for Winona, December 29. The indebtedness is $900,000. Action will be taken, if possible, to avoid the receivership asked for the Winona concern, which will come up for hearing January 2. The flnan cial affairs of Winona are in a badly embarassed condition, It would appear. Every person who buys perfume at the thousands of Rexall stores throughout the United States and Canada will heartily endorse the honors bestowed upon Mr. George Hall, the distinguished American perfumer, who was this year created by the French government a Chevalier du Ordre de Merite Agricole.. Admission to this order is a high honor, extended only to a few men who have rendered signal service to France. The emblem, a sta- of six rays, enameled in white on silver, surmounted by a crown in olive leaves bears on the obverse the Genius of the republic, with the date of the foundation of the order, and on the reverse the words ‘Merite Agricole.” The Knights of the Merite Agricole wear the cross attached to a green moire ribbon with an amethystine border, supported by a rosette on the left side of the breast. The honor was conferred on Mr. George Hall, manager of the manufacture of perfumes for the United Drug company, by the French consul at Boston, Mr. J. C. J. Flamand, after due and formal notice, in the office of the president of the company, Louis K. Liggett, at Boston.— "Perfume—The Memory of Flowers,” Flyn Wayne, in National Magazine for December. i
