The Democratic party and th^Pr .-ident have both slipped up and sprained t: -elves, but tie fellow-feeling has not made them wondrous kind.

La. Castok, the young man recently elected coroner by the Republicans of Marion county came into the Cominissio.iers' Court ith a charge for 51 days V""-1' and h-3 had been in otllee but 15 days. The Journal and News are opening up on the young doctor most vigorous and iie is now willing to withdraw his Iji.i and put in a more reasonable one. The Republicans should see to it that Castor does not disgrace his oilice as did his predecessor, Dr. Beck, a Democrat, but he evidently starts out badly.

Senator Thos. K. Mull, who will represent Hancock and Rush counties iu the next Legislature, will take a conspicuous pi by reasou of his conceded business ability and good judgment. At the meeting of Republican Senators at Indianapolis Tuesday to select the Republican aunbers for the various committees, Senator Mull was placed on six of the important committees, viz: Education, Agriculture, Banks, Military Affairs, Raihoads, Congressional Apportionment, •Labor and Labor Statistics. Mr. Mull is secoud on Banking and chairman of the Labor Committee. Mr. Mull, as well as the counties he represents should ft.l honored by the fine positions to which he has been selected.

CONTENTS OF A MAN'S POCKET.

Ro ..e of the tant Things That Women Find to Kidiculo "Men aro fond of laughing at the little ways and whims of women,'' said our sprightly hostess, "but I wish some iu»n would -xpi-:in to me why ho carries unimportant papers about with him for months, wearing them out in so doing. "I have of'en watched my husband carefully change the contents of coat or trousers pockets from one suit of clothes to another. Soiled, worn envelopes and foideu papers are tenderly transferred, and lor a long time I was impressed with tho inportant operation and drew a sigh of relief when the Oi"VHriou was over. One day my curiosity got the better of me, and I begged iui a fcighi wi those mysterious documents guarued with so inuoh care. "To plcaso mo lay knsb/W-} examined them. Be found several unreceipted bLiSj ton! lixuo pm 1 and receipts filed a note from a friend dated three months back, regretting that he didn't find him in his office when he called one or two business cards of firms lie had no recollection of knowing several advertisement circulars a playbill of last season's performance, preserved for some unforgotten temporary reason, and perhaps three really important papers among the whole lot And I honestly believe if I had not prompted the investigation he would be reassuring those worthless bits of paper to this day under the impression that they were of value. "—New York Telegram.

Chinese Politeness.

In the matter of social politeness the Chinese, especially the "literati," have reason to look down upon tho barbatians of the west. Politeness has been likened generally to an air cushion. There is nothing in it, but it eases the jolts wonderfully. As a more ritual of technicalities it has perhaps reached its highest point in China. Tho multitude of houorio titles so bewildering and even maddening to the occidental are hero used simply to keep in view the fixed relations of graduated superiority. When wishing to be exceptionally courteous to "the foreigners," the more ex-

porienced mandarfns"'^ would" lay"their

doubled fists in the palms of our hands instead of raising them in front of their foroheads, with the usual salutation, "Horaa." In shaking hands with a Chinaman wo thus very often had our hands full.—From "Across Asia on a Bicycle" in Century.

An Inference.

"How do you like that cigar?" asked the man who had just presented his friend with a weed. "Excellent.. One of the best I have smoked in a long time. "It was presented to me by a friend. "Yes. I thought it musGhavo been. —Washington Star.

"Two classes of people I love," said the impecu' lous author to himself. "Tho ancient writers and my friends." Then lie took himself thoughtfully by tho other hand and added, "I supposo it is becauso I borrow from both of them." —Rockland Tribune.

THREE OF THE OCEANS.

The Atlantic, by far the best mounded 01 (-ikii, litis an area of :il,000,l)0i square miies, with a mean depth of ^.^(0 fathoms.

The whole of the land 011. the globe above water levei, if shoveled into the Pacilie ocean, would liil only one seventh of it.

The Indian ocean, with an area of 25,OOn.OOO square miles, has a mean depth, according to Mr. Murray, of a little nvr 2,000 fathoms. This is also estimated from a very insufficient number of soundings.

OLD CLOT.H£§ IN DEMAND.

Secondhand Driers jfind It Difflenlt to Stocic Up Thld Year. The demand' for old clothes appears to ok in so a a N

concerned. I do not know whether it ia because of the recent election and the consequonce of botting on the wrong ticket or the melancholy sequel of the last year's hard times, by reason of whioh men feel the necessity o* wearing out thfur clothing instead of turning it over to the secondhand dealer.

If you should be accosted on Broadway a couple of times a trip by agents of the secondhand dealers with the question whether you have any old clothes to sell, it may not bo taken as an indication that your attire is out of date and coveted by the trade, but that the trade is running short of stock and is pushing out for a fresh supply. It is hotter to consider the attention a subtle flattery, that yen have tho appearance of an individual who doesn't care for I dress and are likely to have a score of better trousers hanging up in closets for tho moths to feed upon.

Twice o?i a single afternoon last week, while conversing with a frieud

011

Broauw ay, I was accosted by sharp looking young men in the interests of tho secondhand trad3. My friend was inclined to resent tho intrusion. Ho said it was getting too hot for him when he was beset by old clothes men every time lie stopped on Broadway. "Is there anything out of the way about me?" he inquired, looking himself over critically. "That is the second time you've asked mo that question today. "I beg your pardon, sir, said tho solicitor for the secondhand clothing house. "We didn't want the suit you have on."

Wo walked fully a block before my friend realized what I was laughing at, but when tho humor of it finally permeated his intellectual system he took mo iu for a glass of vichy and milk.— New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.

HOLLAND MAD.

Th« EnterpriHlug: and Honest Dutch Have

Captured Gotham.

The town has suddenly gone Holland mad, not as that thrifty little kingdom did when it lost its hoart ovor tulips and threatened to bring the finances of the country to ruin, but wisely, discreetly mad, as New Yorkers become. The china shops are filled with Delft, the silversmith's cases with Dutch silver and tho very milliners display little Dutch bonnets, fashioned like tho quaint peaked caps worn by the good dames of old Amsterdam. Even Dutch furniture has become a craze, and fashionable shoppers are passing by the gorgeous empire styles, decorated with the laurel loaf, to buy tho Dutch sofas and cabinets, curiously inlaid with rare woods and wrought with picturesque carving.

I11 far better taste is this Dutch furniture, fashioned, as it is, by hand to the domestic of r'nr«or* honest folk, than tiie empire lujinture, with its bizarre ornamentations of gilded metal and its mock classic patterns, designed to suit a newly created aristocracy. If we could but bring back the simple domestic spirit of the Dutch with our Dutch fashions, it would settle many a social problem, but Dutch fashions as they now appear aro as costly as the gilded fashions of Louis XV or the empire. It has long been an established fact that one must pay most extravagantly for refined simplicity, so that Delft is often almost as costly as Dresden. There aro pretty fruit baskets in Delft, "drug vases, low bedtime candlesticks, shoes and tho most altogether delightful tiles imaginable, duplicating in pattern old tiles, some of which still exist in manor houses in old New York and near Albany. It is now possible to get almost all the new shapes in this modern Delft, as it is a wise European custom to save all designs used in the china factory.—New York Tribune.

•Jnu lioot: Leaves the fctago. Jim Root, the locomotive engineer whose heroi: \n at Hinckley caus him to fall into the hands of a theatrical manager in New York city, has retired froJn tho stage and is home again aftplaying a brief engagement at a salary of $r(J() per week. "I don't like this acting business," he said. "It may be all right for young fellows, but I'm getting too old to start in acting. It keeps a man up too late nights, and I never did like a night, run. Tho only^ thing that caught me was tho salary, and I couldn't refuse that."

It is understood that Mr. Root will return to his vocal ion 011 tho St. Paul and Duiulh lino.—St. Paid Globe.

STARTING A LIBRARY

SOME PRACTICAL ADVICE ON HOW TO OBTAlSi ONE.

Methods to Be Pursued In Keeping Up the Supply of Books—Plain Sailing When dllCG. tho I'euj/!:, -lie* Intf ifitted—"o Co.ni.iiiinity Need Be Without a Public Library.

Every town have a public library. Yoi ifg people's societies could do few more useful things than to establish sucii centers of light and life. It Is not at all so difficult a matter as it seems. A new book, "Public Libraries In America," gives practical advice on this point:

Iu tho beginning of its Mo a library will perhaps bo very humble and unpretentious. Some 0110 interested in the project gives tho u.-e of a room. A 110th2r, with lifllo or no compensation, aets as librarian for the six or eight hours weekly when the Jibv?ry is open.

As tho library grows and becomes increasingly useful it will be mcro highly appreciated, and generous appropriations will be readily forthcoming. It attracts attention as a large factor in the well being of I lie town and draws to itself memorial gifts from the wealthy, in tho form of buildings and endowments, until often the burden of support is in great part lifted from the community.

Such has been the history of numerous American libraries. Tho way, then, to start a library is to :-!r.rt it, not to mako great plans and ir.v ko state aid at the outset, but in a ituple way to make a beginning fro:.:..which the library may gj\w.

Yale col lege, if is fold, was founded by a meeting at Lyn.e a few Connection ministers, ca-.ii ot whom brought books for the J:!: :ry from his own meager store. When Ih-.so few old vol-

ginnings. Occasionally one has been founded by a lai^u eequest, launching it at onco 011 the high wave of prosperity, but (he rule has been tho other way, and 110 community can afford to wait for such a windfall. It may well bo doubted whether a town will (It rive as much benefit from a library coming in the shape of gii't as from one which has grown out of tho efforts of the people themselves. Certainly no community need be without a public library, tho process of forming one being so simple and easv.

Good Citizenship Leagues.

A board of officers, consisting of representative business men, should be elected and committees appointed to look after state and local legislation, taxation and village expenditures, enforcement of village ordinances, condition and appearance of streets and public places, travel and communication, education, water supply, sewage and sanitary affairs, new industries and membership.

Such nn organization, if controlled by uie proper spirir, cannot but be conf ducive to tho growth and prosperity oany town.

Advertising In Itussia.

The common people of Russia, as a rule, speak only their own tonguo. A large proportion of them cannot read the bewildering characters—Roman, Greek and composite—which form their alphabet, and to help their ignorane the shop walls are covered over with rudely painted pictures of articles for sale within. The butcher's shop has pictures of meats of all sorts and shapes, tho tailor's walls are covered with paintings of coats and trousers. The pills of the apothecary and the vegetables of the green grocer are advertised by pictures upon the doors and windows of their stores. —Selected 1 nwliolenome IllossoitiH.

An excellent plan to promc growth of a town is to form an organization, under any name, having for its object everything tending to improve tho town, ii'.-iv.i^o its population, promote the introduction of new industries also to look after tho taxation of the property embraced in the town and to secure the passage of ordinances and laws conducive to tho prosperity of the place and tho comfort of those making their homes there.
