Nobody but Kipling knows how to reveal India with a pen as does Flora Anne Steele, and it would be hard to find even in his pages anything so thick with the aroma of the East as ■‘The Perfume of The Rose,” her storv of love and tragedy in the Christmas “New Lippincott.” The abash Plain Dealer, in an article captioned “Worked the Trustees,” goes on to tell how a woman worked the trustee of Peru township by asking aid for Frank Biglow, who had been dead for four years. She had worked the scheme for years and the Plain Dealer says she also worked Huntington, Wabash and Logansport. I saw the advertisement in last week’s Democrat in regards to W. H. Ramey giving medical and surgical treatment, and also prescribing medicine during the sickness by diphtheria of Miss Rosa Colchin. Now this is a mistake, and I wish the public to know it. I, myself, gave her the medicine that was used. Mr. Ramey knew nothing of the sickness until she was improving. Mrs. Peter Colchin. Four citizens of Marion were arrested last week charged with hunting on land without a permit. The charge was preferred by James Dunn, owner of the land upon which they were arrested. They were taken before Squire Holman, where they refused to give their names, and four cases were made out against John Doe, and it cost John $15.60 in each case. An invoice of the game bags summed up three rabbits as the result of the day’s hunt.

Cards are out announcing an “at home,” to be given by Mr. and Mrs. J. ”. Tyndall at their home, corner of Jefferson and Fifth streets this afternoon at six o’clock. “The curfew bell,” says an exchange, “does not cause the average mother as much concern as the 11 o clock belle, who persists on sitting on the porch with her hand clasped in that of some young man with a yellow belt and a cackle for a laugh.” The people of Decatur and Adams county are very cordially invited to attend the temperance rally the program for which is given in another column. No change i, made for this intellectual feast but when you have enjoyed it you will feel like helping bear the expenses of the meetings. Machines in a watch factory will cut screws with 589 threads to the inch. These threads are invisible to the naked eye, and it takes 144,000 screws to make a pound. A pound of them is worth six pounds of pure gold. Lay one of them upon a piece of white paper and it looks like a thin steel filing. It is said that some of the screws used in some watches are so small that it takes 380,000 of them to weigh a pound. “A Pair of Black Eyes” at the opera house last Saturday was quite well attended and the company gave entire satisfaction. Herbert Betts as dude and Amelia Losee as the widow were the favorites and did their parts nicely. A number of good specialties were included in the program and music was furnished by Falk’s Juvenile orchestra. The next attraction will be “A Cheerful Liar,” tonight.

On Thanksgiving everybody goes to church in the morning, so as to have everything out of the way before dinner. Then you come home and hang around a little while and get awful hungry smelling the turkey. After dinner Thanksgiving is over.” Notice to Wheelmen.

The women’s congress which will be held in Paris next June in connection with the exposition will have a brilliant program. What has been accomplished by women in social philanthropy and economy, in charity, in temperance and in prison work will occupy the first part, which will be followed by the home, educational, the family, the school, social ethics, art science, agriculture and literature. The success which women have attained in science will be illustrated by a series of lectures on astronomy, chemistry and natural history. Those in charge of the congress are collecting in Le Palais de la Femme, 24 Rue Druot, Paris, a library composed entirely of women’s writings in all languages. They feel that much can come to them from America, and they earnestly desire copies of books by American women. At the time of the world’s fair 1,200 volumes by French women authors w-ere sent here, and afterward given to the Women’s Library.

Newspaper publishers are getting hit “fore and aft” by the trusts. Not only have trusts put up the price of all kinds of paper, type and machinery, but they have done away with competition in certain articles that heretofore have been widely advertised. Leslie’s Weekly estimates the loss in advertising on account of trusts at $15,000,000 a year. The newspaper, like the traveling man, is not needed to effect sales when one concern controls the entire field. Ralph Drew, the Geneva lad who runs away from home periodically, but manages to turn up again all right, ran afoul of Portland authority Monday and was landed in the city prison before he hardly knew what had happened. Young Drew was on a Grand Rapids & Indiana freight and was seen by City Marshal Carr, who promptly took him in tow. Carr had received a message to hold him. —Portland Commercial.

Read our new story. The weight of the heaviest horse ever known was 3.000 pounds. This Clydesdale horse was exhibited at New- York in 1889. It was twenty and one-half hands high, and, although only five years old, measured forty-five inches round the stifle or knee joint, ninety-five inches girth, thirty four and one-half inches round the hip, and eleven feet four inches in length. It was of perfect proportions, with a head thirty-six inches in length. An English inventor has devised a very ingenious artifical leg and foot intended for use in cases of amputation below the knee joint. It is mainly composed of a hollow rubber chamber, which is inflated in exactly the same way as a bicycle tire. The skeleton of the foot is of wood and contains within it a rubber-faced joint which permits of movements like those that take place at the ankle. A pair of rubber pneumatic pads surround the end of the amputated limb, so that no undue pressure is exerted on the tissue. At Las Cruces, Mexico, there is a woman’s board of trade and a woman’s independent association. The association has only a membership of twenty and the object of the society is for general improvement in and around Las Cruces, the maintenance of any project benefical, ornamental or charitable, such as the possession, construction and purchase of public buildings, parks libraries, cemeteries, including a hearse. The association owns forty-four lots, fronting the courthouse in its city, which it has converted into a park. Walks are laid out and beautifully shaded by umbrella trees. It also has a quantity of ornamented shrubs and 425 chrysanthemums. A space of 80x80 feet was reserved for a club building, but the association has decided to build a a summer house upon the spot, and is negotiating for an adjoining tract of land on which to errect a club building and library building.
