Lift your hat reverently when you pass the teacher of the primary school. She is the angel of'the republic. She takes the blating as fresh from the home nest full of pouts and passions, an ungovernable little wretch, whose own mother honestly admits that she sends him to school to get rid of him. The lady knows her business, takes a car load of these little anarchists, one of whom, single handed and alone, is more than a match for his parents, and at once puts them in away of being useful and upright citizens. At what expense of toil, patience and some weariness! Lift your hat to her.—N orth Judson News. Miss Ethel Straub, aged ten years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Straub, who reside near Peterson, died Saturday afternoon at the home of her parents, at three o’clock, after an illness of several weeks, death being caused from typhoid fever.

Two of them have just recovered from an attack of typhoid fever. The above named daughter died, and at this time three more are suffering from the same disease, the oldest boy being in a very serious condition with chances for his recovery very doubtful.

It cured my fearful running sores, which nothing else would heal, and from which I had suffered for 5 years.” It ’is a marvelous healer for cuts, burns and wounds.

SOME SECRET INKS. Writing: That Remains Invisible Un* til Exposed to Heat. Letters written with a solution of gold, silver, copper, tin or mercury dissolved in aqua fortis. or, simpler still, of iron or lead in vinegar, with water added until the liquor does not stain a white paper, will remain invisible for two or three months if kept shut np in the dark, but on exposure for some hours to the open air will gradually acquire color, or will do so instantly on being held before the fire. Each of these solutions gives its own peculiar color to the writing—gold, a deep violet: silver, slate: lead and copper, brown, but all possess this coni' mon disadvantage—that in time they eat away the paper, leaving the letters in the form of perforations. There are a vast number of other solutions that become visible on exposure to heat or on having a heated iron passed over them, the explanation being that the matter is readily burned to a sort of charcoal, simplest among which we may mention lemon juice or milk, but the' one that produces the best result Is made by dissolving a scruple of sal ammoniac in two ounces of water. Writing with rice water, to be rendered visible by the application of lodine, was practiced successfully in the correspondence with Jelalabad is the first Afghan war. The Catam-ran. The catamaran, made of a hollowed log, shares the popularity of the Massoola boat with the fishermen of Madras. The rickety looking contrivance cun weather any storm in the skillful native hands, and letters are sent by this means to ships in the offing when other communication with the shore is impossible. The catamaran requires steering with a paddle through the raging surf, and, though the ooatman may be frequently dashed out of the rude skiff by the violence of the waves, he leaps into his frail bark again with the efficiency of ’ong practice, and the catamaran, flying over the crest of the great billows which threaten instant destruction, accomplishes the perilous voyage in safety. The Way of the Arab. A traveler in Egypt writes: “In a camel caravan we once met In the desert there was a beast with a gigantic load of cases towering above and on both sides of him. On the left flank of this mountain of cases rode a small Arab slung in a sling. The reason was obvious—the camel engineers had miscalculated in loading and had put too much on the off side, thus giving the camel a heavy list to starboard. Arablike. being too lazy to repack, they had corrected the error by using a light Arab as trimming ballast.”

Lark and Labor. Luck is ever waiting for something -j> turn up: labor, with keen eyes and strong will, will turn up something. Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman would bring him the news of a legacy; labor turns out at 6 o'clock and with busy pen and ringing ham mer lays the foundation of competence. Luck whines; labor whistles. Luck relies on chance, labor on character.— Biebard Cobden. Pitched Lower. In the course of her first call upon one of her husband's parishioners young Mrs. Gray spoke feelibgly of his noble, generous spirit -He is as nearly an altruist as man may be," she said proudly and affectionately. -Is he an altruist?” said her hostess, with mild surprise. “I thought from the tone of his voice that he probably was a ba** ” Anecdotes of Quinn. James Quinn, a noted actor of Garrick’s time, loved to dine, and was often fuddled in consequence when he went on the stage. O /ce while playing with Peg Woffington, who was acting Gylvia, his daughter, in “The Recruiting Officer,” instead cf asking her, “Sylvia, how old were you when your mother died?” he said “married.” Sylvia laughed, and being out of her cue, could only stammer. “What, sir?” “Pshaw,” cried the more confused Quinn, “I mean, how old were you when your mother was born?” The body of Duke Humphrey w.-.s returned from Egypt, embalmed in the rarest wine and the richest spices. Upon seeing this Quinn soliloquized as follows: Oh, plague on Egvpt’s arts. I say! Embalm the dead! On senseless clay Rich wines and spices waste! Like sturgeon or like brawn shall I Bound in a precious pickle lie. Which I can never taste? Let me embalm this Pesh of mine With turtle fat and Bordeaux wine And spoil the Egyptian trade!

The Spoiled Child. “No,” wailed Tommy. “I don’t want that big pink necktie on.” “It doesn’t matter what you want,” replied his mother. “You must have It on." “Well, If you put it on me I’ll cry all over it an’ thst'-U spoil it”—Philadel ph la Press.

His Selection*. Jay Cooke in ISGG told the following. > 'One day when I was putting gojem* ment bonds upon the market I was greatly annoyed by the clerks telling me that there was an old man in the office who would do no business with them and must see me. To get rid of him I went out. Said fie: ‘•‘Mr Cooke, I have got $3,000 in gold In this bag. I can’t do anything with it in the town where I live. They are circulating grocers’ checks and everything else but money, and I am frightened because I think I will be cheated if I dispose of it. Will yon tell me on your word of honor if these bonds are sound and right? “I replied: ‘lf they are not right, aothing is right. I am putting all I have in the world into them.’ “Arter further conversation the man concluded to take them. “ ‘What denomination will you have them in?’ I asked. “This was too much for the old man. Re had never heard that word used in connection with business. He scratched his head and said: “ ‘You may give me SSOO in old school Presbyterian, to please the old woman, but I will take the heft of It tn Baptist’ " We appeal to Senator Fairbanks to define his position on the ship subsidy bill He voted for the measure, but here we are at the close of the campaign and not a word has he said on the subject. Have the people no rights tn this campaign! Man’s Unreasonableness is often as great as woman’s. But Thcs. S. Austin, Mgr. of the “Republican,”of Levenworth. Ind., was not unreasonable, when he refused to allow the Doc tors to operate on his wife, for female trouble, “Instead,” he says, “we conluied to try Electric Bitters. My wife was then so sick, she could hardly leave her bed, and five (5) physicians had failed io relieve her. After taking Electric Bitters, she was perfectly cured, and can now preform all her household duties.” Guarranteed by Blackburn A Christen druggists, price 50c.
