Editor: I take my pen in to let you know that my family | fi all nice people and that the lol-1 5.ng Remarks do not apply in the' l P to them: .'have often heard of mean men. j e of them are so mean that it is d .to say which was the meanest. 1 vc heard of the man who always ' on the last seat in the car when pg on a train in order to save the Irest on liis money before the condor should reach him. But here! : story which surpasses that, taken ,n an eastern paper. It is a story V “New Jersey father who sent a I;for the gas used in his parlor on urday evening to the young man r i w,as paying attention to his ghter, and who was permitted to ,oiiIy only on thr,t evening.” rimy opinion he must be a mighty l,a man who doesn't care for his t i and babies more than for his i'k horses. Here is a story which vvs a downright mean spirit, and i link your readers will agree with A farmer living in the upper ■t of the state of New York was :moau that to save the expense of -ng a horse to run his tread-mill, |wife not being quite heavy enough ,ie to make irt go, took his two ti babies, who were just learning ‘creep, and put them with their ther upon it. They made it go y well, And the mean farmer had iVv&y. lere are two or three cases taken n Harper’s Young Pqople which ethe. Beth I ,.V

illustrate the meanness of some men in a little different light from the case given above; “Sometimes men have some little excuse for their meanness, as in the case of the pioneer in the West who was lost with his dog on the prairies. For days they wandered about in search of food without finding any. Finally, when face to face with starvation, the pioneer cut off the dog’s tail, cooked and ate it, giving the bone to the dog. It would seem as ' if the dog ought to have had more than this, but it is not easy to criticise a starving man for what he does. We cannot really say what weshould have done ourselves under similar circumstances. “The Warsaw Republican has set'tl'ed the question of who is the meanest man on record to its own satisfaction. It has decided that the honor belongs to a business man of Lagrange who'lost a wallet containing 18,000, which was found by a lightning-rod agent. The finder searched for the owner for many days, and at the end of throe.months found him. Instead -of receiving a reward for his honesty, oV even being thanked by the owner for returning the money, he was sued-by the merchant fob three months’ interest on the sum he had found. “There is reason for believing that this is the worst case on record. Fortunately the courts have not only decided against him, but have made him pay all the costs of the suit, which are large enough to bring his trcytOO down a very considerable amount. The only real rival he has is the lawyer who, upon being asked by his grandfather if he thought it was going to rain, replied that he thought it might, and then sent the old gent leman a bill for twenty-five dollars for the opinion.” Obituary. Solomon Miller was bof-n in Stokes county, N. C., Feb. 2S, 1810. In 1837 he came to Bartholomew coun- ■ ty, Ind., and settled on a farm in Haw Creek township. He was married Jan. 22, 1812, to Mrs. Matilda Herron, and waft the step-father of W, J. Herron and Mrs. M. D. O’Connor, both of this county. Jacob H. Miller, his only son, had the pleasure of caring for his sainted parents and did all in his power to cheer their declining years. Solomon Miller died Nov. G, 1892, ag -d 82 yean and 9 months. He united with the M. E. church When a m. ' child,\ and lived a faithful and consistent member until his death. He was richly endowed with both gilts and graces, was deeply spiritual: he enjoyed the society of Ks trim, is: he hold daily communion with his Bible and his God, and although bowed with the weight of y :rs his heart seemed to retain its freshness, and he f it a lively interest in the prosperi ty of the church. In the coniinvcd;y in which lie lived he won the esteem and confidence of ev try one who became acquainted with him. He was a prominent worker in the church and filled some of tn vsi important offices. His sici. necs was of Short duration, and he sweetly fell asleep in the arms of Jesus on Sunday evening. The church has lost one of its best members and his son and many friends are left to mourn his loss; bti oair loss is his gain. Blessed arc the dead who die in the Lord, saiih the spirit, for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them. ** , Sisal Grass. Sisal grass is likely to prove a Very important, source of wealth for Mexico. It grows in long, narrow blades, often to the length of four or five feet, and these, when dry, curl up from side to I side, forming a flexible string'stronger , I than any cotton cord of the same size I ever manufactured. It is in great demand among florists and among manufacturers of Variotts kinds of grass goods, and it is said to be capable of being applied to many new uses.. Ropes, cords, lines of any description and size may. be manufactured of it, and a ship’s cable of sisal grass is one of the possibilities of the future. It is almost impervious tyo 0 e action of salt water, and is not readily-decayed or disintegrated by moisture and heat. It takes it* name from the port of Sisal, in Yucatan, through Which it was formerly exported. —Board©! Trade Journal,

SCHOOL NOTES. Through the kindness of Dr. Regennas the pupils of the physics class have been allowed the use of his air pump. Several interesting experiments have been tried. The pupils feel the need of more and better apparatus, but we can only hope that they will be purchased as rapidly as possible. Our teachers’ was held here Saturday. All the teachers but two attended. The interest shown in these institutes is increasing, and is much to the credit of our teachers. The teachers of the town school are the only ones in the comrty who -do institute work without pay. We frequently have to wonder why it is that so 'few parents visit the school. They are doubtless interested in the education of their children, but do not feeem to consider that they might by visiting the schools do much good in the way of encouraging both teachers and pupils. Few have beeu this'visits received by the school thus far. Parents, come oftener. Xlie Century magazine In 1893. It would be hard for a person who cares for goo$ reading to make a better investment than a year’s subscription to the Century Magazine. No region is too remote, no expense too great, if it will only produce what the Century’s readers want. This is the policy that has made’it, as the Pall Mall Budget, 'of London, says, “By far the best of the magazines, English or American.” The November number begins a new volume and contains the first chapters of a powerful novel of New York 'Society, called “Sweet Bells Out of Tune,” written by Mrs. Burton Harrison, the author of “The Anglomaniacs.” In this story the fashionable wedding, the occupants of the boxes in the Metropolitan opera-house, the “smart set” in the 'Country house, are faithfully reflected, and the illustrations by Charles Dana Gibson, Life’s wellknown cartoonist, are as brilliant as the nove«. The December Century is to be a great Christmas number—full of Christmas stories, Christmas poems and Christmas pictures—and in it will begin the first chapters of a striking novel of life in Colorado, “Benefits Forgot,”by Wolcott Balestier, who wrote “The Naulahka’, with Rudyard Kipling. Papers on good roads, the new educational methods and city government are soon to come. Four dollars will bring you this splendid magazine for one year, and certainly no cultivated home can afford to be without it.
