The man who invented a perfect method for the culture of memory forgot his hat. The man who wrote a book instructing mankind how to live a hundred years died at 38. The woman who wrote a book to prove that there is no death buried three husbands, and the man who wrote the greatest book on finance died in the poor house. We might add that the man who knew how to run a newspaper better than the editor bought a paper and fell into the sherriff’s clutches in nine months by the clock. Notice to Wheelmen.

In the every day affairs of life, in business, in religion, what we must have is more mirth, more cheer, more good will. A smile costs nothing; then give it freely. It will win you friends, lover, respect, honor —things men strive for all their lives without attaining because they are not willing to try this simple method. A merry heart is not always an indication of a light head. It more frequently denotes a clear conscience, a pure life, a love for our fellowmen. This is religion pure and undefiled. The following from one of our exchanges shows the death rate in Decatur at present higher than usual, in fact too high compared with other neighboring cities: The death rate of some of our Indiana cities, per 1,000 population, is as follows: Anderson, 25.5; Kokomo, 22.1; Marion, 19.1; New Albany, 19.6; Richmond, 15; Muncie, 16.6; Indianapolis, 16.5; Terre Haute, 17.8; Logansport, 14.8; Decatur, 25.4: Bluffton. 26.3. The death rate of Plymouth is quoted at 23.9, while Mishawaka is the most unhealthy city in Indiana, with a death rate of 29.6. Wabash Valley Electric Railroad. Contract to be let for the construction of an electric road running from Dayton, Greenville, and Fort Recovery, Ohio, and Westchester. New Corydon, Geneva, Linn Grove. Vera Cruz, Bluffton, Huntington, Marion, Muncie, and thence to Dayton, the place of beginning. It is now a foregone conclusion that the road will be surveyed in early spring and work will begin as soon as the weather will permit. This line runs through the richest and best farming country in Indiana. The rich and fertile valley of the Wabash river is noted for its good crops of wheat and corn and other grain, and the road would give an outlet to the celebrated stone quarries of Linn Grove, for which that place is quite noted. ts.

It prevents any tendency of a cold to result in pneumonia. Before vou listen to the complaints of your children about the fiendishness of the teachers, and get all worked up and excited over it, it is better to reflect a little. Remember your own or a half a dozen cherubs drive you crazy about half the time, and bear with the teacher who is making for you intelligent men and women of as unpromising material as you were twenty or thirty years ago. Remember that besides your own boy, who of course is an angel, hehastocontend with that boy of your neighbor, and you know well what a terror he is. “Alas! my new umbrella I miss it with a sigh: the day I rashly bought it a friend was standing by. The next day it rained he borrowed it to be returned that night; but since that fateful moment it hasn’t blessed my sight. He lent it to a neighbor's wife, to°increase my woe, she lent it to the minister, and its still upon the go. He lent it to a student, who lent it to a friend, and still its going, gone; I wonder where 'twill end. But through the cloud of borrows one ray of hope I see, perhaps I may be lucky and it may be lent to me. - ’ Catarrh cannot be cured with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best phsicians in this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best known tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two igredients is what produces such wonderful result in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. F. J. Cheney & Co.. Props., Toledo, O.
