Dole, Angola, Ind., September 16, 1905, aged seventy-seven years, eight months and eleven days. She was married to Joseph 6. Kimsey, February 6, 4845, at Blue Creek, Adams county, Indiana. To this qnion were born eight having preceded her to the spirit land, Evens K., four months old ; Thomas Brenton, four months; Sarah Catherine, four years; Joseph 7^ Elmar, seven months, and two pair of twins dy-

Moran. The family trouble having all Been settled up. Men are wanted by Supt. Graber to assist in cutting five hundred shocks of corn atjthe county farm. Those desiring work him up by telephone.

EGGS AS FOOD. Though Nearly Half Water They Ara Extremely Natritioua. The white of an egg is nearly seveneighths water, the balance being pure albumen. The yolk is slightly less than one-half water. These figures apply approximately to the eggs of turkeys, hens, geese, ducks and guinea fowls. To show how nearly alike the eggs »f various domestic fowls are In respect to composition, the following figures are given by the department of agriculture: Hen’s egg—Fifty per cent water, 16 per cent protein, 33 per cent fat Duck’s egg—Forty-six per cent water, 17 per cent protein, 36 per cent fat Goose egg—Forty-foui pet cent water, 19 per cent protein, 86 per cent fat Turkey egg—Forty-eight per cent water, 18 per cent protein, 33 per cent fat It should be explained that protein is the stuff that goes to make muscle and blood. Fat of course is fuel for running the body machine. Thus it will be seen that eggs, though half or nearly half water, are extremely nutritious, containing all the elements required for the building and support of the human body. But the old saying that an egg contains as much nutriment as a pound of beefsteak is far from correct. It would be nearer the fact to estimate a pound of eggs as equal to a pound of lean beefsteak in nourishing power.—Saturday Evening Post MAKING CAMPflfc, A Simple Praceaa With a StW More Simple Apparatus. \ v “To make camphor,” said a “you put in chips at onesie, andjtat' of another hole you draufcaie product in coarse white sW. “Wherever camphor trees will And camphor are low buildings of mud their odor is so aromatic that be detected two miles oft.

STINGING MOSQUITOES. Birds From These Penta Does “Birds more than man from the mosquito,” a naturalist said, “frequently the mosquito can’t get at man, but birds he can always get at “The male mosquito is harmless. He never stings. 1%-ls the female who does all the mischief. Male and female alike live through the winter. “After the mosquito’s egg is first hatched, the creature that issues forth is called a wriggler. The wriggler lives in water, in marshy pools, in the puddles and the ooze of low lying meadows. He is like a tiny snake, and he must come to the surface to breathe. “Hence kerosene as a mosquito exterminator. Ladle out kerosene o£ a pool of water and two tablespoonfels Will spread until they cover effectually fifteen square feet. This oily coyer- - Ing is air tight as a skin. If there are any wrigglers in the water uijder it they must die; they must smother. “Some think mosquitoes feed Jon blood alone. This is a mistake, pTa mosquito can’t get human bird blood or animal hloodjrit stabs plants and feeds on their Juice* Philadelphia Bulletin.

Catching Cold. Very severe colds are caught indoefts, the result of indigestion or foul : A cold is frequently brought op by gating a hearty dinner, becoming mentally absorbed for two or three hours immediately afterward and retiring to a warm, close room. The food is not digested, the temperature of the body Is ’raised by the exertions of the stomach, the sleep is broken, and the indlvidual rises chilled and ill. Ha'd'relaxation followed the dinner and the room been supplied with refreshing *ir, everything would have been different Won’t Wholly Convinced. “Waal,” said the old lady, “if ;tbe airth is reound and goes reound, what holds it up?” “Oh, these learned men say it goes around the sun and that the sun holds It up by virtue of attraction,” he replied. “Waal, if these high larnt men ’sez the sun holds up the airth, I should like to know what holds the airth up when the sun goes down! That’s what’s the matter!” -* His Misfortune. “I can argue with any one here,” said the conscientious man fiercely. “I can argue”— “Oh, yes, you can argue,” said the quiet little man in the corner. “The misfortune is that you can’t reason."

The Face la an Index. The face Is an index to the state of one’s physical well being. Symptoms of disease can l»e detected from it almost before the patient is aware that there is anything the matter. For Instance, excessive pallor indicates poor circulation and possible heart trouble. Incomplete exposure of the eyeballs, rendering the whites of the eyes visible during sleep, is a symptom of all acute and chronic diseases of a severe type. Twitching of the muscles is a herald of nervous exhaustion. Widening of the orifices of the nose with movements of the nostrils to and fro points to embarrassed breathing from disease of the lungs or channels leading thereto. Contraction of the brows indicates pain in the head: Sharpness in the nostrils is a symptom of pain in the chest Bagging unger the eyes, when not a facial characteristic, points to kidney trouble. Twitching of the eyelids associated with oscihation of the eyeballs or squinting, heralds the visit of convulsions.—American Queen. A Kiplins Lamest. In Laurence Hutton’s “Talks In a Library” he tells as follows of meeting Rudyard Kipling at a luncheon given to the latter by Richard Watson Gilder. “Another engagement made me late, and I entered the room as the party was breaking up. I was Introduced to Mr. Kipling, with whom I exchanged the traditional few formal words, and we drifted apart, but a moment or two afterward he placed himself on the arm of a chair in which I was sitting and said: ‘I didn’t realize, Hut*on, when I met you a moment ago who were. Dear old Wolcott Balestier, your friend and mine, tried so hard and so many times to bring us together in London and elsewhere, and now he is gone, and I can’t understand it all. He died jso suddenly and so far away; we had s* much to say to tach other, and now I have got to fwait so long before I can say it.’ ”

K An Ancient Tune. Won’t Go Home Till Morning” Bfe ®t a modern song; at least the air Iff Atmodern, for it dates back to the ‘ tlje rst £* uke MarlborwbMKft is the old French air of “MalK’en va-t-en guerre; Dieu salt (“Malbrouk has gone to” tHb'War; the Lord knows when he will come home'again”). The second verse hinted that the Duke of Marlborough would be a long time away. “Il reviendra-z-a la Paques, ou a la Trlnlte” (“He will return at Easter or Trinity Sunday”). In south Yorkshire, in England, that air exists as a children’s song: Mollie Brooks, she went to be shaved; Mollie Brooks, she went to be shaved; Mollie Brooks, she went to be shaved and the barber cut her chin. “Mollie Brooks” is a corruption of Mqrlborough. Both Saw the Monkey. “I had a most terrible experience today A-declarad the pretty girl to het boarding house companions. "I was walking along the street, when suddenly I heard a most peculiar noise. I looked up, and there on a stoop stood a most- hideoustnonkey, leering at me. It startled me, and I stepped back quickly, puttpig my hand to my eyes. Then the man who was coming just behind me remarked: •“You’re all right, little girl,. I see It, too, and I’ve been on the water cart for weeks.’ Now, what do you suppose he meant?” The men boarders who were at the table answered not, but the wife of one of them explained to the girl later on.—New York Tribune.

A Remarkable Comedy. The most remarkably comedy ever written is “The Visionaries,” by Desmarets, the protege of Bichelieu. Every character in the play has a hallucination of one kind or another. Qne tea coward who thinks he has conquered the world, another a poet who conceives himself better than Homer, another a lover who becomes enamored of every heroine he reads of in a romance, another a beggar who thinks himself richer thah Croesus. Womea’i Letters. "As far as I have had the opportunity of judging, it appears to me that the usual style of letter writing among women is faultless except in three particulars—a general deficiency of subject, a total inattention to stops and a very frequent ignorance of grammar.” Such is the brief summing up of woman as a correspondent, given some hundred years ago by Henry Tilney. Logical. "You’ve been kissing Margie Hunter.” J ' “Oh, Nellie, what a story!" “Yes, you have, Robbie Dickerson. You don’t like peppermint, and she always gets peppermint chewing gum. Oh, I can put two and free togevver.” -Life. Quite Apparent. She—You- know, judge, our characters are different, and I don’t want to be in his way— He—Yes, your honor, she is peculiar, and I don’t want to Interfere— Judge—l understand. You ask for a divorce out of pure love.— Meggendorfer Blatter. Tidy. •*ls Spooney’s wife a good house keeper?” "Well, I should say so. Why, he has to keep a private detective to watch-his clothes so he -can tell where to find them. She’s so tidy.”—Liverpool Mercury. 1 Nothing Left but the Barb “He belongs to one of our oldest families, but he is a consumptive. He coughs dreadfully.” “Yes, he says all he ever got from the family tree was the bark."

Mrs. R. A. Steele of this city, received a telegram this morning from her sister, Mrs. John Schafer, of Plymouth, Illinois, stating that her husband had died last evening of old age. Mrs. Steele leaves this evening at 9:30 over the Clover Leaf to attend the funeral. The Ladies’ Aid society of the U. B. church will give a social at the parsenage thia evening. Refreshments will be served, and a good social time will be enjoyed. In addition, those who have pledged a dollar for the new ohuroh oarpet, will be asked to tell just how the same was earned. Come and bring a good time with yon. Do!£ One of the big engines on the Clover Leaf which is being used to haul gravel, while switching on the “Y” near the depot, was thrown from the track, caused by a broken rail. The railroad men worked several hours trying to retrack the big monster, but their efforts were in vain, and the wreck train was called to replace it. Louis JFisher was arrested Sun day morning by Marshal Green while state with his a judgment against him Fisher was leave the state same, and was apprehendedj imt in time by the marshal. He paid the amount and was flowed to go. Frank Bogner, who for some time past has been employed on the bridge gang on the Clover Leaf, had the misfortune Tuesday to have his left foot mashed, while working near Ohio City. Frank and several of the other men were putting in a heavy piece of bridge timber, when the samp slipped from his hands and fell bn his foot, tearing all the flesh from the bones. He was brought home on the next train and the injury dressed by Dr. H. E. Keller, who stated that although the same was not serious, it would prevent him from using that foot for several weeks. Carl Beardsley returned home Monday from New York, where he

received his honorable discharge from Uncle Sam’s service, with whom he has been for the past four years. During all that time he has been on the batklesliip Texas, and during the past year had been performing the duties of head electrician on board the big boat. experiences and adventures have been many, and would make a good novel. He is home to stay for the present, having not fully decided what he will do. He is looking well, and the briny deep- seems to have agreed with him. MARKET REPORT.
