THE FIRE BOYS KEMEMBEKED

S. R. Wells Makes a Handsome Christmas Gift to the Fire Department. S. R. Wells made the City Fire Department a handsome gift when he, on Christmas Eve, handed Fire Chief, Cosby, a check for §150. At the time of the fire a week ago, Mr. Wells gave the boys a handsome lunch and was profoundly grateful and well pleased with the work of the fire department and their success in saving as many of the buildings as they did. The good opinion held by Mr. Wells and his brother, James A. Wells, as to the work of the department was still further increased by the praise of the insurance adjusters who were here to settle. They were both surprised and pleased and were loud in their praises of the excellent work by the firemen. They said if that fire had eccured in Indianapolis the buildings would all have burned and probably the cross-ties on the railroad. That may be a little extravagant but the fact is, lireenrMd ha* a fine fire department that the city and citizens are proud of and feel like praising the Han cock Democrat to the contrary notwithstanding. It has no doubt had an in crease of knowledge since its statement last week. "We don't know of a single tax-payer in the city of Greenfield who has a word of praise to offer for the way the affairs of our city have been conducted."

There were a number of people who objected to the water maius being extended to the glass works, but they are not saying much now, for if the mains had not been put there Greenfield would probably be wi ut any glass works today. As a rule kickers have their innings at first and do not show up well in the home stretch. The REPUBLICAN desires to congratulate both the fire department and Mr. Wells on his contribution. All concerned did their parts handsomely and worthily. The firemen are:

Chief, W. H. Cosby. First ward—E. B. Howard, Clint Parker, Allen Cooper, J. E. Hatfield.

Second ward—Austin Boots, Charles Huston, W. J. A. Ross, Ed Watson. Third ward—Will A. Hughes, J. R. Abbott, George Gant, Wm. Tollen.

These men say the city has done all for them they have asked, so that no one has juit cause for complaint.

The Historic Route.

The Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway, the model railroad of the Soufh in equipment, roadway and service is also the greatest in historical interest, more than fifty famous battlefields and five national cemeteries being located on the various lines of this system. This is the preferred route to Atlanta for the Cotton State and International exposition, open from September 18, to December 31, 1895, for which very low excursion rates have been made. Through sleeping car service from St. Louis to Atlanta via Evansville, Nashville and Chattanooga. This is the route of the famous '"Dixie Flyer" through sleeping car line which runs the year round between Nashville and Jacksonville, Fla. For further information address R. C. Cowardin, Western Passenger Agent, Railway Exchange Building, St. Louis, Missouri, or

WHEN MEN WEEP.

If dither Fain Nor Grief Which, as a Rale, Moves Them to Tears. It is one of the first laws of the philosophy of emotion that men shall not cry. They must find some other outlet for their pent up feelings. Swearing is the most natural expedient, but as this is considerably worse than crying the safest plan perhaps is to make frequent use of the expressions "Dear me!" and "Goodness gracious!" which are perfectly harmless.

There are, as everyone must know, times when even the strongest men are overcome by their feelings, and a terribly heart rending sight it is to see a big frame convulsed with sobs and a proud, manly face stained with tears.

As a rule, however, it is neither pain nor grief which will make a man cry. Soldiers, who will bear excruciating injuries without a moan, have been known to break down when the lights are lowered and some very thrilling scene is portrayed on the Adelphi boards.

Orators and singers are both subject in an extraordinary degree to the sway of emotion. Tears are no uncommon sight in a pulpit. In fact, there are few preachers whose voices are not at times so full that they are choked with feeling and their eyes bedimmed with tears. Then if you glance around the hushed assembly, who are hanging on the preacher's words, you will see many a man whose cheeks are moist from sympathy.

The great Spurgeon would often break down under stress of feeling, and Canon Liddon's utterance many a time failed him from the overwhelming pathos which his emotional voice betrayed.

Sims Reeves' "Tom Bowling" always affected the famous singer, and Mario was known to break down when the well of his gentle heart's emotion was filled until the tears could no longer be held back.

When Charles Dickens put an end tc the career of little Paul Dombey, the great writer went out into the darkness of the night and found comfort in tears. Many men are overcome when reading books. Even frivolous novels may contain a chapter which will make tho throat husky and blur the pages till they become invisible.

Mr. John Bright was known on several occasions to give way to his feelings in delivering a public speech, while Lord Russell is often beaten by the pathos of his own impassioned language. —Pittsburg Dispatch.

FOOD OF THE FUTURE.

A Bracer of Salt Will Take the Place of Stimulants. When the food of the future is once in vogue, the food dispensary, licensed by the government, will long since have supplanted the butcher shop and the grocery store. We'll breakfast and lunch and dine by prescription at a cost of 10 or 15 cents per day per capita. Doubtless our houses won't be heated and supplied with power from a Keely motor at a penny a $ay additional, but the chemical or artificial food of the future is already a moral certainty. For does not Flammarion describe it in "Omega," and has not Berthelot, its chief apostle, been elevated from the laboratory to the foreign office of France?

Given the formula for our food, says Berthelot, the father of the artificial food idea, and why not prescribe it from the chemist's? Surely the nitrogen and carbon of the beefsteak may not be as grateful to the palate if absorbed from a capsule or masticated in a tiny tablet, but the bones and the blood, the flesh and the sinews will be just as well supplied with their esential material, their own special foods, provided always the prescription is right in proportion, and, after all, the pleasures of the table have ages on end been absorbing too much of the time and inclination of man and woman. When the area of chemical food comes, we shall have done with symposia and supper parties, Welsh rabbits and golden bucks.

There are certain elementary foods which a man can't do without. He must absorb, or eat and drink, if you please, carbon and nitrogen and calcium for his bones. Without going too much into dry detail, he must absorb or receive each day, to repair the waste of his tissues, calcium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and sodium. There are other trifling chemicals like phosphorus, which is an awful thing to burn oneself with, which the well fed man needs. But he could get along without it. He could get along without sodium, were it not for the fact that salt is chloride of sodium, and nobody can get along without salt. It isn't a simple, an element, but it is absolutely indispensable. When the era of the chemical food sets in, we'll all be in the habit of stopping morning and evening at our favorite dispensaries for a bracer of salt.—New York Herald.

Accurate Testimony.

An amusing incident occurred in Judge Neely's court the other day. A solemn faced little woman had been called by the defense to establish an alibi. She had testified that the defendant had been at her house during the time the offense was committed and that others were present also, among them a Mr. Delaney, when the following examination ensued: "Was Mr. Delaney a neighbor of yours?" "Yes, sir." "Is he here?" "No, sir." "Do you know where he is?" "No, sir." "Is he dead?" "Yes, sir."—Chicago Post.

A Useful Color.

Oil barrels are almost invariably painted blue. The reason for this is not apparent to the uninformed, but a manufacturer who makes a specialty of this kind of cooperage says that it is because blue has been found by experience to be more effective for keeping in the oil than any other pigment.—Baltimore Sun.

THE OLD YORK OF TODAY.

Present Condition of the English Namecake of the American Metropolis. There can be no doubt that one of the most interesting towns of England is the city of York. There will be found distributed in a lavish manner what all the wealth of America could not possibly purchase or create. Indeed the same may be said of every other country, for nowhere can we now reproduco tho marvelous architecture or the stained glass of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and no town is so rich in these unequaled works of the past as the town of York. That this is fully appreciated by Americans is best set forth by the fact that recently no less than 500 Americans visited York in one single day.

York minster is the king of English cathedrals. Apart, however, from the cathedral, York has a much greater number of churches as old and, in their way, as remarkable as the cathedral. What, however, seems to me most exceptional is not these ancient monuments, but their surroundings. Throughout Europe, in London, Paris and elsewhere, me--diseval cathedrals, town halls and other buildings still subsist, but they are surrounded by a framework of modern houses and streets. At York, on the contrary, as at Frankfort, Nuremberg and a few other continental towns, the streets as well as the churches recall the middle ages.

York is just the opposite to Hull. The latter town owes its very existence to its commercial capabilities, while York never was a commercial town. Hull is a town which has absolutely nothing to show, yet it has a population of more than 300,000 inhabitants, and many of its citizens are extremely wealthy. Hull fought for the parliament against King Charles, and Hull was celebrated for its cruelty toward the Catholics. York, on the contrary, fought for the king against the parliament, and, as Catholics Were not so cruelly used in the York prisons, they were sent from York to Hull when it was thought desirable to treat them more harshly. Many very excellent families have selected to reside in York, but there are very few large fortunes. York is a town of poor gentlemen Hull is a town of wealthy vulgarians. York has religiously sought to preserve what is of historical and artistic value Hull has ruthlessly destroyed all that was of no immediate business use. These two towns, so close to each other, constitute excellent object lessons, illustrating the two great forces, the two great currents of opinion, which for several centuries have struggled against each other.— Philadelphia Telegraph.

WHY WE STAND UPRIGHT.

A Special Complex Mechanism Is Required For the Purpose. We are so accustomed to standing upright as a natural attitude that few of us think what a special complex mechanism is required for this puprose. A moment's consideration will show that the ordinary explanation of the erect position (the center of gravity to be directly above the feet) is insufficient. When a man is suddenly shot, whether from the front or behind, he drops on his face, for the truth is that there is much more weight in the front of the spinal column than behind it.

The fact is that when we are standing a large number of powerful muscles (both front and back) are simultaneously at work, the effects of their action being to neutralize each other. Thus, the legs would fall forward were it not that they are kept vertical on the feet by the strong tendon (the "Achilles") at the back of the heel. At the same time the muscles of the thigh aro tightened so as to prevent us taking a sitting position, and the muscles of the br.ek are pulled tense so that the trunk dees not stoop forward. The head is prevented from dropping on the chest by the ligaments in the nape of the neck.

That the upright is not its normal position is easily shown by the fact that a man nods as he is falling asleep, for as soon as the controlling nervous force is deadened the head drops forward by its own weight, only to be pulled back into position again with a jerk when tho brain becomes suddenly aware of an unusual attitude.—Scottish-American.

Ministers' Pay.

Why do not country Christian people give at least a decent support to their ministers? That solemn problem recurs every now and again. The city minister receives more than he is worth, is petted, caressed, fondled and sent to Europe whenever he has tho toothache or mumps and gets to feel that he is an idol to be worshipped. The country minister starves to death on no salary at all and gets to look as though he had been shot through a knothole. It is to be hoped he will have a good time in heaven, for he has anything but a good time here. One of these poor creatures, not 100 miles from New York, was so wretchedly off that his parishioners got up an entertainment as a benefit for him. They were very careful to extract from the sum total every expense to which they had been put, and when the net sum was handed to him it amounted to just $1.79 I Think of that, ye small souled folk who want the gospel of brotherly love preached to you and think to cheat the Lord by putting a plugged copper into the contribution box.—New York Herald.

Thirteen Letters In a Poet's Name. It has been suggested that Edgar Allan Poe, who was described by a critic of a bygone generation as "the most disreputable blackguard in literature," owed his misfortune, not to his own vagaries, but to nothing worse than that 13 letters went to the making of his name, "which is absurd," as Euclid disdainfully observes. Westminster Gazette.

Eoy had been taught how to gargle. A few weeks after, while at grandma's farm, he saw the chickens drinking. "Oh, mamma," he shouted, "come here and see the chickens gargle their throats!"
