maple water and not having been tapped this spring, the water comes through the leaves and causes a sort of rain.” A very able writer says that the first thing to do in choosing a home is to adjust all expenses within your income. While this good advice will prevent a vale of tears later, it is seldom taken into consideration. Our desire to shine and keep apace with our more wealthy neighbors frequently drives us to commit excesses which wreck many a home sooner or later. This is the season when flues should be carefully examined and all service gas pipes and key valves and mixers cleaned and put in good working order. These precautions may avert possible fires and explosions. Gas men say that mixtures need cleaning at intervals, which greatly assists the flow of gas and prevents leaks. While mild weather is still here is the time to see to the matter, When you visit the schools, which every parent and public spirited citizen should frequently do, walk right in and make yourself at home by finding a seat. It is no longer appropriate to interfere with the teacher’s work by knocking as if entering a private residence. The schools are public property, walk in quietly and help yourself. The chances are that you will not even be invited to make a speech. An exchange says: It has oblr gated many a man’s curiosity to find out why a woman spends six weeks working a lot ot scollops on

the bottom of her skirts and other wearing apparel, tha> n >body in the world but herself will ever get a glimpse of, and then runs about the neighborhood in an old dirty Mother Hubbard wrapper without any belt or corset and half the buttons on the wrapper bursted offThe “funny man” of an exchange was recently assigned to write up the market reports, and produced : the following: “Butter is strong at twelve cents and able to hold its own. Yeast cakss are rising steadily. Bananas are slipping away at ’he old price with an occasional drop. Watermellons are going down more rapidly than they were a week ago. Cheese is lively and stirring. Syrups are sticking at the former price ami are about a pint more to the quart than last winter. Green apples are growing less since vacation. Chickens are picking up a little.” How anti-Toxin is obtained. In the fireplace a horse is necessary Diphtheria poison is injected into the blood. At first, the horse becomes very sick. When it recovers from this more poison is injected. Again the animal recovers and the injection is repeated until it is no longer affected by the poison. During all this time nature generates in the horse’s bloodjanti toxin to resist the diphtheria poison- The blood is drawn from the horse and this is the method of making anti-toxin. It is estimated that enough antitoxin is generated in one horse to resist poison that would kill 8,000 horses, Over at Decatur, Ind., one night last week, ten white caps went to the home of officer James Parrish, (fragged him from bed, tied a rope around his neck and dragged him to a tree several squares away, where they intended hanging him. Cat-o’-mne tails made of wire were applied to the officer’s body and his yells and screams awakened everybody along the street. He was almost fatally beaten, but the white caps were scared away before completing their work. It is alleged that Parrish knocked his wife down and kicked her into insensibility. The white caps’ work was for the cruel manner in which Parrish had treated hie wife. Both are in a critical condition. —St. Mary’s 0., Argus. An unusual trial took place down in Maine recently in which a widow- | er secured judgment against a wo- : man for breach of promise in the I sum of $1,789. This man whose j affections were trifled with, testified I that Miss Dingley, a relative of the man whom the new tariff law is named after, proposed to him and I that it was so “sudden” that he asked for six months time for consideration. At the expiration of I that the widower was willing to say i yes, but it seems the young lady was not so anxious then and quietly married another fellow. A jurv found that the poor man had been humiliated and trifled with to the extent ot $1,789, worth and rendered their verdict accordingly. Next time, be will not take so much time to consider a marriage proposal. On a west-bound Lake Erie train the other day was an old gentleman from Lima. He was of the talkative classs, and his remarks .were keyed for the benefit of all tn the car. As soon as the train bad crossed the state line be began ridiculing the Hsosier crops, and placing them in unfavorable comparison to those in “God’s country.” Behind him sat an Indiana man who didn’t relish the old gentleman’s observations, and at length he turned the conversation to gas and oil. He thought he would “stump” the noisy Buckeye by telling of a place near Peru where the oil is floating on the river in such quantities as to kill the fish. “Same at Hume station over in Ohio,” said the old gentleman, “but there they stand the oil soaked fish on end, light their tails, and use them for candles. They make the best kind j of a light.” A Kansas editor takes issue with vegetarians. He says: “No man who lives on meat was ever known to lick his wife or ask for a divorce. Adam got into a row right off, because he had no hog meat, butter or i black bass. Napoleon lost Waterloo because the allied forces had bacon for breakfast the morning of the fight. The French had vegetable soup. The South had to give iin at Appomattox because it was out of meat. Ingalls would have gone back to the senate had he not lived on blind robins. A vegetable woman is as cold and clammy and | unlovable as a turnip. If you wish ' to put roses in the cheeks of your I girls, vitality in their motion and
