A certain Willshire young man, took a young lady of pronounced prohibition opinions to Decatur to j a theatre one evening recently, and as the curtain rung down if ter the, first act. he hurriedly left his seat, remarking, “I think I hear a fire alarm I must go and see about it." He returned in ten minutes chewing a clove, and said. Well, it wasn’t a fire.” "And it wasn t water." tartly replied the lady— Willshire Herald. The new law governing the elee ticn of road supervisor respires the township trustee to post up two notices in each road district in his township on or before the first Monday in January announcing the time and place for holding the elec tion. As it happens this year, the first Monday comes on the second day of January, and as the newly elected trustee will assume his cu ties on that dav. he will have to get [ a move upon himself to accomplish | that part of his work Arrangements might be made for the pres -1 ent trustee to pod these noMces. j however, and that would help the new man out.

BIRTH OF THE BUS. Thia Class ot Vehtelc First App»«rM ra Paris In I*B3. The omnibus appeared in Parts in 16*32 as a "earroio- a cinq sons" < coach for twopence halfpenny!, by authority of Louis. XIV.. under the management of Pascal, the mystic and philosopher. Whether this eminent thinker originated the idea is not clear, but there is no Aoubt that his influence assisted in the establishment ot the service under the auspices of a royal decree. Later on these earliest omn'.buaes ceased ts run owing to lack of support, and did not reappear in Paris until 1827. when Lafitte the banker, who was among the largest proprietors, was credited with originating the revived service.

A Story of Matt Cwvweater. Matt Carpenter, the famous WlsI cousin senator, was pleading a case beI fore the supreme court. Before be had got half through with his argument the j Judges had made up their m.nds that I his case was without merit and. more- ' over, that he was unprepared. When , ue finished his argument and counsel for the other side got up to reply, the judges whispered to each other, nodded and then the chief justice said. "I don’t think it will be necessary to bear from you. sir.” Carpenter’s opponent was deaf, and be could only tell that, the ehief justice was addressing L.m. He turned to Carpenter for aid. ■ What I did the chief Justice any. Matty b» whispered. 'He said he’d rather giva you the case than listen to you.” Car pen ter bawled in his ear. RENEWING THE BODY. The Way Man la Constantly Belan Made Over and Over. It takes but four weeks to comp.etely renew the human epidermis. You hav« new eyelashes every five months you shed your finger nails in about the same period, and the nails of your toes I are entirely renewed annually. The ■ white of the eye. known as the cornea, i Is in a continual state of renewal, be ’ Ing kept clear and clean by the soft i | friction of the eyelid*. These are a few I manifestations of the restorative powi ers retained by man. who is less form nate than the lower animals. Crabs can grow fresh limbs; the snail | ran renew even a large j>ortion of its head, w.tb eyes and feelers lizards do , not worry about the lorn of a tail, ard i If you make a cut in the caudal appendaru some of the— last men-, tioneii creatures they will grow another [ tail stra'/htway and rejoice in the posi newton of two. But man still possesses the wonderful restorative little cell* which scientific I men • nil leucocytes.

TRICKS OF THE BRAIN. ’ Experiences Wfcleh Physlolo<iesl Theories Fall to Explain. An uncle of mine with whom 1 was walking in a part of Yorkshire near Skipton. where neither of us had ever been before, stopped suddenly to say. “When we turn that corner you will see on the right an Elizabethan buust partly surrounded by trees, with a lake or large pond show ing through them, and in the middle of the water a little! artificial island.'' When we turned the corner we saw precisely what he had described, and yet be bad never seen or heard or read of the place. The dual brain theory falls here, since neither lobe of th* brain had received an impreaston ol the place before we turned the corner. Jean Jacquea Rousseau in his "Confessions" say* he foresaw in a revert* while taking a solitary walk aH the incidents of the hapixieet day ot his life i as they occurred eight years later: T saw myself, as ta an ecataag, transported into that Jtappy Otne »»1 occasion, when- my heart, peasesamg *ll thy happiness possible, enjoyed 111 with InsxpreaaiWe ■ rapterea wlthoaß tblnkjt'g of anything aeurjai Ide ost remember being ever thrown tnto tbs future with more force *r an iliuatM aa aompiete as that which I then ewperirocsd What struck me most 1*! the recultoctton of that reverie, now that it has bee* rewdzed. > to bar* found objects so exactly a/ I bad pie tured them It ever the dream of * man awake bad the air of a prophetic ‘ vision that was aseurediy noctu" It is. 1 think, noteworthy that In all Clairvoyant cases of this kind the body is through overwork or ill health or fasting or coogecitaHy in the subdued state to which the Indian mystic and miracle monger reduce* his own by maceration. It was so with Scott and Rousseau, and with William Hone when he had the following experience recorded in his memoir. When worn out with overwork he was shown into a certain room in a certain part of ( London where he had never been before. "On looking around everything appeared perfectly familiar to me. 1 s«-eme-d to recognize every object. I said to myself: What is this? I was never here before, and yet 1 have seen *ll this, and if so there is a very peculiar knot in the shutter.’ I opened tte shutter and found the knot. Now, then. I thought, here is something I cannot explain on my principles; tber* must be some power beyond matter." And from being a pronounced mat*ria list he became a believer in spirt;*, and. indeed, eventually a profound!/ «nnl —T. P's T.avu-lon MOHAMMEDANS AND DOGS. Tber Take Partlealar Fa lav Sat t* <.•*■* la Caataet. In Egypt dogs are never permitted to enter the dwelling of a Mohammedan, j and if one is found in a mo«que be is immediately put to death. In consequence of this excouimuniea tton from the society wt>?b this anl-1 mal seems so instinctively disposed to kuitirate. Egyptian dogs tire, for the most part, in the open air feeding upon garbage and any other filth th»t chan e throws in their way. Yet they are found to be faithful protectors of i the property and even persons of the very men by whom they are tbua despitefully treated, although. Sonini re- | marks, it is extremely curious to see the pains taken by a Mussulman and a dog when they happen to meet to avoid coming in contact with each other. Notwithstanding this state of persecution, dogs are remarkably numerous in the towns of Egypt Th* species is a large one. about the size and make of the greyhound. As a ' proof of the Mohammedan prejudice against this useful animal, it is suffii cient to state that they regard the ‘ terms Christian and dug as synony-mous--both. of course, in the most opprobrious sense. As a singular contrast for their dislike for dogs, the Egyptians have ever held cats in greatest veneration, and in ancient time even wcrJ.iptd them, j And historians tell us that Bubastis. and Atribes. two towns in Egypt, the ■ former a votary of cats and the latter of mice, contracted on that account so. . strong an antipathy to each other that ' the inhabitants were never known to : intermarry. although only a few mile* ' asunder. In -ome parts of India, too. ’ we are told, they have a similar rever ; , ence for grimalkin, a* the only crimes punished capitally there are the mur- , der of a man and a cat.—New Orleans T! mes - Democrat , I — Loeb & Dizkson carry nothing bu< the Red Coal Oil—he«t on the mar I ket
