Mediterranean resorts are crowded with Russian grand dukes. No one can tell them there is no place like home.
^That .Russian official who ''caught"a bomb that was tossed iathim should have no trouble in signing with an American baseball team.
spit's a wonder some of the prophets who "foresaw the earthquake would not explain why they refrained from issuing a timely warning.
In the future any one who gets "a contribution from Mr. Perkins will have to hand over a guaranty of immunity from prosecution along with the receipt.

Poultney Bigelow has rereturned from Panama. He went down there for a second view, thinking that his nose might have deceived him at tirst.
In an emergency like that at San Francisco this administration's skill in cutting through numerous thickness of red tape at a blow is distinctly valuable.
Hint to the generous foreigners who wish to contribute aid to the California sufferers. It is not really necessary tb ask anybody's permission., Send it along.
Then there is Boston. It has not had much experience in dealing with earthquakes, but it is in a position to sympathize With any city that has acquired a large burnt district.
INTERESTING MEETING.
A Study of Missionary Literature at Yesterday's Session.
The ladies of the C. W. B. M. held their regular meeting May 1st, at the home of Mrs. Belle Davis on Lincoln street. The Scripture lesson was read from Gal. chapter, by the President Mrs. Rosalie Rock.
The work was made interesting by a carefully prepared program that appealled effectively to each. Many interesting points were brought out on the topic of the lesson and discussed. A large attendance for the regular missionary meetings is always desired for many opportunities present themselves for accomplishing much good for the cause of Christianity.
The auxiliary is growing and will continue to grow if the homes in the church can be reached by deep, spiritual missionary meetings.
Delicious refreshments were served and a splendid social time followed the meeting.
For Gold Machines.
The Greenfield Novelty Works shipped yesterday to Morgan County Gold Field, the necessary oak timber and lumber for three gold machines, the steel and casting material being furnished by a Chicago machine shop, which will complete machines ready for operation within the next thirty days. .-These machines will be of the same type of a machine now operated by the Gold Creek Mining Company, and this compauy will no doubt in the near future put in quite a number of machines to work the land they have under lease in Morgan county.-From all accounts there will be a large amount of gold taken from the Morgan county fields in the near future.
EPAULETS.
X)rig:I11 ully Intended ns a. Protection From Sword Cntn.
It is probable that the epaulet was originally intended as a protection to the shoulder from sword cuts rather than as an ornament. Ever since 795 tliey have been worn by commissioned officers' of the British navy. According to the officer's rank they vary in design. A sublieutenant wears only one composed of gold lace other ranks two. The degree of rank is shown by crowns, anchors and stars -worked in silver upon the epaulets and also by the thickness of the cord of which they are composed. Previous to the Crimean war epaulets were worn by both officers and men of the army. Here, as in the navy, distinction was shown both in their texture and design. Those of the officer were made of gold braid, while with the rank and file they were merely of worsted.—London Telegraph. ......

THIS COUNTY WILL ESCAPE.
Seventeen-Year-Locusts Will Not Be Here This Year.
The seventeen year locusts are scheduled to appear in this State this year, but Hancock county will escape their visit, according to the announcement of James Wilson, "Secretary of Agriculture: This brood of noisy insects is expected to make its appearance during the latter part of May in Clay, Crawford, Davis, Gibson, Green, Lake, Lawrence, Pike, Posey, Sullivan, Vanderburg, Vigo and Warren counties. The District ol Columbia and a number oi other States will receive a visit from the locusts.
Secretary Wilson states that when it is announced that the seventeen-year locust will appear, it usually gives cause for alarm and arouses fear for the safety of shade trees and orchards. The actual damage, however, is usually slight,, ex cept in the case of newly planted orchards, and even here by vigorous pruning back after the locusts have disappeared much ot the danger caused by the egg punctures can be obviated. He says that as a matter of precaution, however, it might be well not to locate new orchards this spring in recently cleared ground or near to woods.
''"-J' New Caledonia.
Until 1853 New Caledonia was a sort of no man's land. Then both England and France decided to annex it, and orders came to two warships to proceed thither at once. They started the same day. The English captain had heard of the reefs that surround the island, and he was cautious. The Frenchman went ah end without regard for the reefs. When the British captain arrived he saw the tricolor flying from a hill, and he was invited to come in and lunch on French soil.
The Mexican Letter Writer.
As many of the lower classes in the City of Mexico can neither read nor write, the Mexican letter writer does a thriving business. He writes letters of all kinds—love letters, begging letters—it matters little to him. so that he is paid for his work These men are found in the Flaza of Santo Domingo, a sort of market place, where secondhand articles are for sale.
Tlie One Person.
There was a certain old New England minister who had a blunt way of getting right at the bottom of things. With a solemn air he announced from the pulpit one day that a button had been found in the collection. "Only one individual In tl.e church could have been guilty of this trick," he said, "and I shall expect this person to replace the button with a coin." After service a member of the church owned up to being the culprit and asked "How did you know I was the man?" "I did not know,*' said the clergyman. "But you said only one person could have done it." "Just so," was tho reply. "Two persons could not have put tbl tame button on the Dlate^"
CARPET DEPARTMENT
OHIGIN OF PARISHES.'
They Were Fonn«le«l In HSS b,v 1» ArchOJ of Cuiiterlmry.
Tho'xlrm archbishop of Canterbury In is regarded us the founder of tho parochial system. Parishes were originally measured by and made to follow the lines of existing townships, a parish beinir, in short, the township 5n its ecclesiastical character. Where a township was too small to require or to support a separate church and priest two or more townships were united to form one parish.
In other cases the clergy of manorial churches built by the nobles had no jurisdiction over a parish extending to the limits of their lord's estate. Thus 10 legislative act was needed, and parishes were mapped out gradually, as the multiplication of churches and clergy, which Theodore did so much to effect, made it desirable to define clearly the areas within which the clergy had to work. It was not till long after Theodore's death—Green says about the middle of the eighth century—that this division the country into par« islies was completed. London Telegraph. sm
•, The Folly of Betting:.
Lord Brampton, better known as Sir Henry Hawkins, the great English criminal lawyer, judge and sportsman In his reminiscences, in telling of what cured fctw of betting, relates that Harry Hill, one of the "characters" of Tattersalls, gave him this piece of advice as a youth: "Mr. Hawkins, I see you come here pretty regularly on Sunday afternoons, but I advise you not to speculate among us, for if you do we shall beat you. We know our business better than you do, and you'll get nothing out of us any more than we should g,et out of you if we were able to dabble in your law, for you know that business better than we do."
Klnpr Georjce's Fat PoclcetbookR,
George IV. from the time he was a Joung man constantly carried a poclcetbook, into which he thrust bank notes, letters, trinkets and keepsakes. As soon as the pocketbook became full he used to put it away and substitute for It a new one. This when filled was laid aside and replaced in like manner. When the king died it devolved on the Duke of Wellington to examine the monarch's effects, and he discovered nn entire chest of drawers filled with fat pocketbooks. which contained not

TAX PAYERS
Please Take Notice of Orders from the Auditor of State and act accordingly, Please see copy of Letter:
Dear Sir:—There is a custom on the part ot the County Treasurers in some of the counties of Indiana to continue to collect taxes after the First Monday in May and after the First Monday in November, without adding the penalty provided in Section 8570, Burns'Statutes, Revision 1901, and acts of 1SD7. page 162
This custom is wrong, and after this date all County Treasurers must close tlieir duplicates for the collection of the first installment of taxes after the tirst Monday in May, and for the collection of the second installment after the first Monday in November and take no taxes thereafter without adding and at the same time collecting the penalty as provided in the above named section.
It is the intention of the State Auditor to have this section enforced: and any County Treasurer, in the future, violating this law will be forced personally to pay the penalties which he has failed to collect, as provided in said section.
After the first Monday in May and after the first Monday of November in each year, the Treasurer will as soon as possible, turn over the duplicates to the County Auditor, so as to enable him at once to prepare his settlement sheet for use of the Treasurer in accounting to the State. The Treasurer will be required to make settlement with the State by the loth of June and by the 31st of December of each year as provided by law, •,» Very Respectfully,
Remember, Monday, May 7th, is the last day for paying taxes, Do not hold us responsible if you go delinquent, as we are compelled to close the books on that day.

MR. YOUNGS LETTER
E. W. ROSE MEDICINE Co., St. Louis, Mo. STONEFORT, IT.L., April 3, 1905. Dear Sirs :—It is a source of pleasure for me to permit you to use my picture before and after cured by "ZEMO," and to tell what "ZEMO" did for me. I doctored this case of (Acne) pimples for six years and spent several hundred dollars with physicians and specialists. The more salves and creams I used, the worse my face became. Mr. Ira Blackman recommended "ZEMO." Eight bottles entirely cured me, and I honestly believe "ZEMO" is the best remedy in the world for any skin disease. Yours very truly,
