MESSRS. S FOWLER & Co Gentlemen:—We received a barrel of your DUSTLESS OIL nearly two months ago, and we have tested it for several weeks on the fioojs of our High School building, with results entirely satisfactory. We shall at once have it applied to all our school room floors.
The avoidance of dust, the improved sanitary condition of the buildings, and the economy of expense in keeping the buildings clean, are points in favor of your DUSTLESS OIL
Very Respectfully, W. H. TRUESDALE, Supt.
George W Reed and his son Charles, who were traveling for a Ciucinnati Buggy and Carriage, have along with th* "fher raveling men of the firm been called in off the road. Mr. Reed says it is the first time in fifteen years that he has known the buggy business to be so dull in January that ir din pay the manufacturers to keep men on the roid. He says he has during the good old Republican times, been called in because the men were turniug in more orders than the company could fill. He along with a great mtny other people would like to see a return of those time?.
Three Grand Tours to Honolulu.
Houolulu, Hawaiian Islands, about which so much has been written, has been aptly termed the "Paradise of the Pacifc." and the title is well deserved, for aside from jjits,, magnificent scenery its wonderful volcano, Kilaua, and ir-, interesting inhabita ts, its climate is uurivaled, and offers a most delightful change to the residence of the eastern and middle states who desire to escape the rigors of a northern winter.
The attractions and advantages of these beautiful islands are brought within easy reach by the series of excursions which have been inaugurated by the North Western Line, which leaves Chicago at 6 p. m., January 15, February 10 and March 5, reaching San Francisco on the evening of the taira day after departure from Chicago. Steamers of the Oceanic S. S. Company leave San Francisco January 21, February 15 and March 1q, and it will be observed, therefore, that those who join these excursions will be afforded ample time to view the many attractions of the principal city of the Pacific coast and its beautiful surroundings.
Excursion tickets, good for nine months will be sold at rate of $225 for the round trip from Chicago to Honolulu and return and this price includes state room and meals on steamers in both directions.
The entire trip from Chicaga to Honolulu is made in only nine days, and these excursions, which are strictly first class in all respects, offer an exception ally favorable opportunity for visiting these beautiful islands at very reasonable expense.
Detailed information will be furnished upon application to W. B. Kniskern, General Passenger and Ticket Agent Chicago

OUR GIRLS.
The "new woman" has not been conspicuous in the war flurry. We are evidently far from the time when bloomera will wave, so to speak, in the thick of the battle.—Cleveland Leader.
New Jersey's first woman lawyer has been granted permission to wear her hat in court. But tho court didn't agree to keep her informed as to whether or not it was on straight.—Kansas City Journal.
Hetty Green has a Bible, but it mentions only the difficulties of a rich man in getting to heaven. There is not a word about a rich woman. Mrs. Stanton ought to readily perceive this virtue in the old fashioned book.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The question has been raised as to what the new woman would do in case of war. Without venturing into details it may be safely said that if she should engage the attention of the enemy as much as she now does that of her contemporaries ho would not have much time left for fighting.—Philadelphia Ledger.
JEWELRY CONCEITS.
Out of the ordinary are princess lamps in cobalt bluo, with figure panels. Stocking supporters are brought out with all the ordinary buckles, slides and loops of gold.
Purses of woven gold have heavy gold clasps circled with jewels and a small watch in the center.
The showcases still disclose side combs in many varieties, with pearl and diamond heading, or with a waved edge of gold.
Feminine smokers can hardly fail to be pleased with cigarette holders having a mouthpiece of amber and tiny bowl of gold.—Jewelers' Circular.
Kevolutiou in Nicaragua.
PANAMA, Feb. 8.—Passengers arriving at this port from Central America report an unsettled state of affairs in Nicaragua. It is reported that attempts are being made to overthrow the government of President Zelaya. Several arrests have been made among prominent leaders of Leon, who are moving to have the capital changed from Managua to Leon.
Same Old Result.
FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 8.—Senator Goebel, president pro tem. of the senate, presided over the joint assembly in the presence of 134 members, 68 being necessary to a choice for senator. The vote resulted: Hunter, 66, Blackburn, 62 Carlisle, 2 Bate, 1 McOreary, 8. No election..
THEIR OWN PHYSICIANS.
Self Doctorinc Promoted by the Use of Medicines In Compressed Tablets.
Not only has tho general introduction of medicine in the form of compressed tablets simplified the work of the doctor, but it has also vastly promoted self doctoring. The number of remedies put up in thin form for popular use constantly increases. Many druggists make a specialty of these things. You see them displayed near the soda water fountain, put up in small bottles and sold at prices that must yield a handsome profit. Half a dozen remedies for indigestion are thus sold, some containing pepsin as the active principle, others containing soda mint, some bismuth, some charcoal or more powerful disinfectants. Some are designed to remove acidity of the stomach others to attack a catarrhal condition. Others are to provoke appetite, and still others are to promote one or another natural function. Adczen headache cures are sold in this fashion, and the different emollients for the throat are almost innumerable. There are grip tablets, liver tablets, heart, lung and brain tablets.
Persons who have eschewed patent medicines all their lives buy these tablets of one sort or another, because most of them are supposed to be well recognized remedies. Most of the tablets are advertised only in medical journals, in accordance with the requirements of the medical code, and many of them, no doubt, have obtained their popularity through their use by reputable physicians.
Quinine, which is now extremely cheap, is sold largely in the form of two grain pills or in larger pills containing iron. Although believed by many physicians to b9 a dangerous remedy, it has long been self prescribed by all sorts of persons, especially in malarial regions, and it is one of the remedies most frequently bought without prescription. It is self prescribed for malaria in its many forms, to check a cold in its early stages, and as a tonic.
Stimulants of one sort or another are sold in this form, but more especially perhaps at the soda fountain, which has become a sort of medical dispensary. Many headache remedies are dispensed at the soda fountain. Some are recommended or suggested by the attendant, but many persons have their favorites among the various sedatives and febrifuges, and some are called for as regularly as the fruit sirups. New remedies are constantly introduced through the soda fountains, and many old ones have long been included in the annually lengthening list of the soda water dispensers.—New York Sun.
IN A BALLOON.
The Sensations That Are Superinduced by Its Rising and falling.
A dim sunlight strikes us in the balloon. Suddenly we realize we are in bright sunshine again, with fleecy white clouds below us and a deep blue sky above. Look at the shadow of the balloon on the clouds! See the light prismatic colors like a halo around the shadow of the car. Here we are all alone, in perfect silence, in the depths of a great abyss—massive clouds towering up on all sides, a snowy white mass below. But no sign of earth—no sign of anything human. Not a sound, not a sign of life! What peace 1 What bliss! Horrors! What's that report? The balloon must have burst. Oh, nonsense! Keep still! It's only a fold of the stuff nipped by the netting being suddenly released that's all.
Well, we are falling, for see the bits of paper apparently ascending. And we must take care, for the coldness and dampness of this cloud will cause the gas to contract, and we shall fall rapidly. So get a bag of ballast ready, for we are already in the darkness of the cloud. Now the gas bag shrinks and writhes, and the loose folds rustle together, and it gets darker. You can feel the breeze blowing upward against your face or hand held over the edge of the car. Well, that's not to be wondered at, for remember we are falling, say 1,000 feet a minute, which is the same thing as if we were going along ten miles an hour sitting in a dogcart. Not quite the same, you say—you'd sooner be in the cart? Well, perhaps if the horse were going straight at a wall, without the possibility of being able to stop him, you would think otherwise. But look! There is the earth again so out with your ballast. Go on! Pour out plenty there's no good economizing.— Blackwood's Magazine.
Mark Twain's Latest.
The authorship of "The Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc," which has been appearing serially in Harper's Monthly during the last year, and which has been credited to nearly every well known author, is Anally determined. Volume 6 of the National Cyclopedia of American Biography, a work of such accuracy that it may be considered official, contains a new biography of Mr. Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) which enumerates this work in the list of his publications.
Good Digestion.
A good digestion is as truly obligatory as a good conscience pure blood is as truly a part of manhood as a pure faith a vigorous brain is as necessary to useful living as a vigorous will, Which it often helps to make vigorous, And a well ordered skin is the first condition of that cleanliness which is next to godliness.—H. W. Beecher.

SHOOTING STARS.
How Tltpse Odd and Erratic Baby Planets Blaze and Darken.
The shooting star i3 an oddity of the very oddest kind. It is a world of itself —a miniature planet probably not larger than the papier mache globe on your study table or the rubber ball •with which tho schoolboys play "three cornered cat," but it is a world just the same. These baby planets are not always round, as planets are generally supposed to be, but are known to be in all sorts of queer shapes. Some are square, others octagonal some irregular and many cornered, while one is occasionally met with which is smooth as a brick or a cement paving stone. Probably you have never heard of a man (or woman either, for that matter) "meeting with" a shooting star in any of his wanderings. Let us see how such a thing might be possible.
The shooting star is originally a miniature world, revolving around the sun with as much regularity as the earth, Jupiter, Venus or Mars. It keeps up this unerring flight thousands or even millions of years. Finally it reaches the limit of its existence. Suddenly and perhaps without any visible cause it shoots off at a tangent. It is now a "shooting star." Formerly it was a world, but even now it is not bright as other stars are. Let us see what will cause it to "flame up like a gigantic torch in the heavens." This particular body that we are talking about shot off from its orbit in the direction of our earth. Its speed is not less than
DIRECTED HER LETTER TO HEAVEN.
Pathetic Little Story of a Child's Epistle to Her Dead Mother.
At a recent wedding the bride had retired to her dressing room to don her traveling gown. Her mother had been dead a year or more, and she had had the constant care and companionship of her little sister ever since their affliction. The 7-year-old entered the room and went to her sister's chair very thoughtfully. Drawing a letter from the little pocket, she said "Alice, here is a letter to mamma. I have just written, telling her all about the wedding. Will you send it to her?"
The elder sister, a little shocked, replied as gently as possible that she couldn't send a letter to mother.
Then the little one, looking quite bright, said promptly: "Oh, yes, you can, because now you are married, you will be getting a little girl, and when you send for her, just give the doctor this letter, and he can take it to mamma when he goes for the baby.''
And there on the envelope was the address, printed as best she could: "To Mamma, In Heaven. Kindness of the Doctor.''
She took the letter, and hugged the little one to hide tho tear which was rubbed off on the curly, brown head. Washington Star.
Early Candlelight State Dinners.
It appears that in olden times the president used to give his dinner parties at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The grandfather of Representative Acheson of Pennsylvania once dined with George Washington, and his family have preserved the invitation. It is written in a business hand on a fourth page of a sheet of ordinary note paper, with the lines running lengthwise across the sheet, and reads as follows:
Mr. Acheson is requested to dine with the president on Thursday, the 23d inst., at 4 o'clock precisely.

Liked Lawyers.
It is recorded of Andrew Johnson that when, senator or president, he was invited to a dinner party, he was accustomed to ask if any lawyer was to be among the guests. For, said he, lawyers always lubricate things. He took a greater fancy to William M. Evarts, his attorney general, because of his postprandial fame than because of his eminent legal attainments.—Green Bag.

miles a second, probably five times that. In the great outer sea of space it encounters no resistance to its headlong flight. But wait. It is nearing the envelope of atmosphere which surrounds our globe. What will be the result when it comes in contact with "the air we breathe?" The first stratum it strikes is so attenuated that its resistance is very slight. Yet the friction is great enough to instantly raise the temperature of the falling world. Within the hundredth part of a second the dense stratum of atmosphere has been encountered. The flight of the little world is now perceptibly checked, the result being a sudden firing of the mineral matters in the stone. There is an instantaneous burst of light, and then we see the doomed representative of the miniature planets in all its meteoric splendor. Possibly the streak of fire it leaves athwart the heavens will not appear to be more than a few hundred feet long. Certainly it will be thin and short if the little world was not larger than a football—because it will be almost instantly consumed as soon as it strikes the denser portions of tho atmosphere. On the other hand, if this world which has so suddenly come to an end was as large as a good sized barn when it started, fragments of it weighing from 10 to 1,000 pounds may reach the earth. It is from these fragments that we learn the shape and composition of the aerial phenomenon referred to as "shooting stars."—St. Louis Republic.
