POLITICAL BULLETIN.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.

EDWIN

C. HUNTINGTON, of Sugarcreek township, desires to announce bis name as a candidate for the nomination ef Commissioner of he Western District of Hancock county, subject the decision of the Republican nominating conntion.

WEATHER FORECAST Fair. with warmer in North portion tonight, Wednesday fair.

TH2 vote is getting well in in all the wards. There will not be many stragglers out.

THIS is Republican weather. The indications point to a Republican yictory in all three of the city wards today.

election passed off very quietly. The candidates on both sides and their friends hustled for votes but there was no bad feeling engendered.

THE senseless and causeless carping of ohronic fault finders does not influence people in any substantial way. It leads most people to exclaiai "oh how some people do make fools of themselves."

THE defense in the Pearl Bryau case are rather over doing the thing in their evidence. Several of Jackson's witnesses are accused of per jury and one has been arrested. His case does not stand as well as it did a few days ago. Truth is mi-hty and will prevail.

A BILL is before congress which will 1: mit the sale of convict made goods to the state iu which they are produced. That bill should become a law. The employment of convict labor interferes with free labor unless it is on some great public work or enterprise that would not otherwise be done and its evils should be mitigated as much as possible. In no case however should a state have the right to slip its convict made goods into another state to interfere with the free labor of that state.

SENATOR WOLCOTT is receiving a great many compliments for his recent declaration of loyalty to the Republican party, notwithstanding his free silverism. The Senator is a man who knows a political party should be based upon more than one idea and he therefore is loyal to the grand old party although he disagrees with a majority of its leaders on the silver question. He is with it, however,. on all other important question and they are numerous.

THE BIGGEST

BUGS.

TJie Elephant Bepfle Ia'the Elephant InM«t

Ljttjtle tWezuela.

Venezuela .w little republic, but., she has pn&tiiinjj|that is the biggest of its kind oa eart&£ Jtis a bug—the largest insect in all the world. The creature is known as the "elephant beetle," and when full gro^aa it,Weighs nearly half a pouricL To be Strtick in the face bjr' such a bug, flyirig~at full speed, would make a mSn feel as if a mule had kicked him.

This beetle, like others of its kind, both small and large, is clad in a complete suit of armor. This armor is made of a material far more indestructible than steel—namely, chitine. Chitine cannot be destroyed except by certain mineral acids-—in other words, only the artifices, of chemistry avail against it Thus the shells of beetles that died 10,000,000 years ago have been preserved perfectly in the rocks, so that we know today just what these insects of antiqtiity looked' like.

In fcuTope giant beetles have a considerable market value,. commanding prices in proportion to their size. In London there are' regular auctions of insects, and a single butterfly has been known to fetch as touch as $800. A specinaen of the rare and very large Goliath beetle is worth $60. This is the largest beetle of the old world, and it first became known through missionaries in tiie Kongo basin.

Though no other insect in existence compares in bulk with the beetle from Venezuela, there are other bugs that exceed it in dimensions. For example, there is the Atlas silk moth, which has awing spread of nearly a foot. It spins a cocoon, the silk of which is better and stronger than that of the ordinary silkworm. But unfortunately it cannot be reeled. The department of agriculture tried for years to discover away of reeling it, but without success. Moths of this species often alight on ships in the Indian ocean.

There is a butterfly of the Malay peninsula and Malayau archipelago which has a spread of ten inches. In India and tropical Africa are found giant forms of those remarkable insects known as walking sticks,'' which look like twigs of trees. Some of them measure 18 inches in length. They are related to grasshoppers and katydids. In tropical America are found certain huge species of bugs that are closely related to the familiar electric light bugs of this country. Like the latter, which have been popularly known only since the introduction of the electric light, they fly at night, living during the day at the bottom of ponds.—St. Louis Star.

THE ELOPERS WERE STOPPED.

And Had to Reckon With the Bride'g Father Before They Got Married.

Riding along a West Virginia road I was interested in seeing a young man and young woman on horseback coming down the road at a gallop. Not far behind them was an old man giving chase. By cutting across through the woods at one place he succeeded in heading them off and caught hold of the bridles just as I drove up, said C. E. Wardleigh to a Star reporter. "Whar yo' all goin?" he demanded. "You can stop us now, but we'll get married,'' answered the young man defiantly. 'I liaih't tryin ter stop yo' all. Ef yo' is boun ter marry, yer kin, but I wanted a talk. Yo' all gwine ter town. How long yo' s'pose yo'll stay?" "Two or three days," answered the groom. "At $2 a day," said the father, "besides hoss feed an hoss hire, for I'll make yo' pay for them hossee, shore. Then $5 fer a preacher. I wanted Lindy ter marry Sam, fer I owe 'im $5, an he wouldn't say nothin 'bout it ef she'd hev 'im. Parson Long owes me, an he'll many yer fo' nothin. Thar won't be no board bill an hoss feed. It would cost $20 ter make the trip, an give me $10 so I kin pay Sam, an hev suthin fer w'ar an t'ar of the bosses, an we kin go home an hev a bigger time than at town.''

The proposition was accepted, the money paid, and the three turned their horses' heads homeward.—Washington Star.

Bicycles For Boys.

I do not for an instant hold that the bicycle is going to redeem the world or turn the rising generation into an army of saints, but I do know from personal experience that the boy who rides a bicycle and comes to school with a healthy glow on his face, that means a good circulation and a hearty appetite, produced by exercise in Gcd's fresh air and God's bright sunshine, is a much more tractable lad than is the same boy when he is allowed t2 mope around the house or the corner grocery, listening to the vile stories of vile men or concocting some deviltry of his own. And not only is he more tractable, but he is more teachable, he learns more, he is a better boy and will make abetter man. —Womankind.

A Sugar Coated Conscience.

United States Treasurer Morgan has received the following letter from Westville, Conn., inclosing 30 cents in postage stamps "I •was a soldier at the time of the rebellion. I was on guard over the commissary stores and thoughtlessly took lumps of sugar from an open barrel to eat. I did not take much in quantity, but violated the principle of strict honesty. It is impressed upon me after all these years that I ought to make restitution. I send postage stamps to cover, I think, the value of all that I took, with interest."

The stamps were turned into tho conscience fund.—Washington Post.

ERROR IN THE JEWISH CALENDAR.

:.Univ««sal Synoj$. vSnj(jperte4i For Its Needed J2torre^

a lecture recefttly delivered under the auspices of tljie Gzlaetz college in Philadelphia on '^The ^Jewish Calendar, Dh-Cyrus Adlfcr Called attention to an error in the calendar which may occasion some surprise to persons who have not investigated' the subject..

It is a fact well known that the. Jewish calendar in its present form was promulgated by Hillel II, about 350 C. E. This calendar is abound lunar calendar—i. e., a lunar calendar with correction to solar time. At the time that the calendar was established it was much more accurate than any in use. It was universally accepted by Jews, even by the Karaites, §nd has afforded an important outward bond of union among scattered Israel.

Graetz has voiced the ordinary opinion as to the accuracy of our calendar in the following words: ''The method of copulating the calendar introduced by Hillel is so simple and certain, that up to the present day»it has not required either emendatioh 6r amplificatiOii, and for this freason IS ackn6wledged to be perfect by all Vhii are coaipetenit to express an opifcibh &il the Subject, •Vvhether Jews Or non:Je\vs.1

This statement, however, does not agree with the astronomical facts. Our calendar makes the average lunar month 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes 8% seconds, whereas the true value is 29 days 12 hours 44 miinutes 02.841 seconds. Agaiii, our Calendar calculates the solar year at 365 days 5 hours 55' minutes 25.439 seconds, whereas the true value is 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes 46.069 seconds. It is plain, accordingly, that there is a double source of error, amounting to more than 8 minutes per year. Assuming the lunar and solar year to have been co-ordinated at the time of publication of Hillel's calendar, the Jewish year has in the 1,540 years intervening advanced forward from the vernal equinox somewhat over 7 days.

The importance of the correctness of the calendar is so great that it would appear advisable that a universal synod, be called to devise a plan whereby the error may be obviated. Such a synod once assembled, might be able to take action in other directions of the highest importance for the welfare of Israel. —American Hebrew.

THE VORACIOUS CARP.

Clever Rases by Which It Is Exterminating Black Bast).

The German carp is a vicious fish aftera fashion, and the kind of brains it has is described by W. F. Meehan in The Fishing Gazette. Says Mr. Meehan: "One day in early June in 1893 or 1894, in Montgomery county, Pa., I was watching the spawning bed of black bass in Perkiomen creek from abridge overhead, when along came a number of largo German carp. One made a feint toward the nest, and when attacked by the black bass fled. While the bass was in pursuit the remainder of the carp darted in, and in a twinkling devoured the spawn in the nest. I waded out to the bass nest later and found scarcely an egg in it. I was told afterward of a similar case in the same stream.''

The Pennsylvania report of the state commissioners of fisheries says that "there are few fishes more heartily anathematized by American anglers than the carp. They fail to see a redeeming feature in the creature, and charge it with many bad ones, the most serious of which is that it is a more inveterate spawn eater than the eel," and the anglers fear that it will in a few years practically exterminate all the valuable food and game fishes despite the efforts of the various fish commissioners.

The carp furnishes the angler little or no sport, because it refuses to take the ordinary lures offered. Its flesh is not popular with American fish eaters, as it is in European countries, where as early as 1227 it was cultivated in Austria.

It is not known exactly who first introduced carp into American waters, nor exactly when it was done, but Mr. Poffe, a Califomian, some time beforo 1870, is believed to have been the man. He is regarded in much the same light as the introduccr of the English sparrow into the United States, and the misguided men who turned English rabbits on to Australia.

Easy Work.

I wants to git a white man arrested fer incendiary trespass or somfin, said the perturbed colored gentleman. "What's up?" asked the policeman. "Man hired me to rake leaves out his yard, an when I was most froo lie say, 'Mose, dat wouldn't be no hand wuk at all ef you was doin it jes' fer fun, would it?' an I say: 'Dat so. Wuk fer fun ain't neb ball so tirin as wuk fer pay.' Den ho say: 'All right. I does not pay you, an dat will mek it easier fer you. Always like to help pore laborin man along.' Now, wouldn't dat jar you?"—Indianapolis Journal.

Intelligent Rats.

Rats, according to a showman who exhibits a tame troop of the little beasts, are more easily taught than dogs. They have a more retentive eax for language and greater adaptability than any other animal. Louise Michel, who is also fond of rats, has discovered many virtues in them. They have respect for the aged, family feeling, and compassion for the unfortunate.

Out of Their Reach.

"I wonder how she manages to keep her youthful bloom with such a large family of children.'' "Upon a high shelf, I suppose."

Far away the music of the ball rose softly, and that was all.—Detroit Tribune.

The merit of originality is not novelty it is sincerity. The believing man is the original man he believes for himself, not for another. —Carlyle.

There are over 4,500 paper mills in the civilized countries of the world.
