iKl'OUCAN. ji Jay C. Smith. / • INDIANA ' *- « Miss Cleghorn is her other name, and she is known to fame as Princess Kaiulani, of Hawaii. Chauncey M. Depew is an officer in ten different clubs, and can’t believe that clubs can kill a man. The machine tyewriter was , not patented by the man who originally devised it. The girl typewriter, however, is generally patented by her “best beau," and all “infringements” are dangerous. The Chinese brain has been weighed and not found wanting. Scientists assert that the, average weight of the Chinese thinking apparatus is considerably greater than that of other races. The new administration has 180,000 offices to confer on 1,800,000 applicants. A reliable authbfffly estimates that there is an average of ten applicants for each office at the disposal of the President and his subordinates. St. Louis having had a beer war this winter, and the quality of the beverage having deteriorated, the Missouri Legislature has created the office of “State Beer Inspector” whose duty will be to see that better beer and less froth are furnished the thirsty public. Missouri legislators are given to enacting some queer laws —notably the statute for selling negroes into slavery for vagrancy. One of their latest enactments makes it a penitentiary offense for a husband to desert his wife until they have lived together for at least ten years. The rivers of the country have been “full” of late and have shown a total lack of “self control,” but Keeley's bi-chloride of gold cure will hardly restore the shattered hopes of many homes that have resulted from their protracted indulgence in an excess of liquid refreshments, . TTiib newly - elected department commander of the Grand Army in Wisconsin is Captain Shover, who enlisted as a drummer boy in an Indiana regiment before he was sixteen years old. He served throughout the war with the Army of the Potomac, and participated in every engagement from Fair Oaks to Appomattox. ■•The Czar is a man of ready resources. When he needs more money he does not have to go through the preliminaries of having a new tariff schedule arranged but simply lays a duty on any article that seems likely to afford the desired revenue in the shortest time. Recently he has added a duty of 40 cents a pound on ten to the burdens of his subjects. Enterprising soap makers will now brand their product with your monogram or epitaph even if desired, ir c mspicuous letters,and are content if allowed to place their advertisement on the opposite side of the cake in less conspicuous letters. Many hotels and city clubs are said to be availing themselves of this new innovation in the soap trade. An- Italian medium operating in Paris, claims to be able .to change her weight at will, and the phenomena is vouched for by eminent scientiffic experts, who seem to think -it something wonderful. That is nothing. Numberless grocerymen and even butchers do that in this country every day, and people accept it as a matter in no wise supernatural. Our “state” religion has not been very much affected by the change of administration. Ex-President Harrison is a Presbyterian. President Cleveland, if not an active member of that church, generally attends . services at a Presbyterian house of worship. Vice-President Stevenson is a Presbyterian, and every member of the Cabinet is a communicant of the church founded by John Knox. Geo. Winn, colored, of Fayette county, Mo., was convicted of vagrancy and according to the statutes made and provided, was placed on :

the auctioneer’s block and sold into six mouths bondage for the sum of $20. Vagrancy is an evil that needs a remedy, but It is doubtfufif a revival of the old-time custom of slavery will have any salutary effect. A vagrant Jias no pride that will cause him to change his ways to avoid the disgrace of being sold into slavery, and the results of such proceedings are likely to make him a worse man rather than a better citizen. ; Texas continues to furnish her full share of news items to the Associated Press. The monotony that has characterized crime in the Lone Star State has at last been broken, and instead of a negro lynching, roasting, or an atrocious assault and murder of innocent babes, we are now regaled with a comical account of the arrest for vagrancy of the police force of a little Texas town, the corps consisting of two men. The charge was preferred by the wives of the policemen, who proved that they had received but $12 pay in five months and could not support their families on that;, People cling to an exploded story with strange pertinacity. Every small boy thinks he can get a fortune from the government if he succeeds in collecting a million canceled stamps.. He never knew any one to receive either a large or small reward for such a collection, but that does not dampen his enthusiasm in the least. Older people adhere to the same delusion and-, set all their friends at work gathering up stamps. A lady of Allegheny, Pa., is On the home stretch and fondly believes she will receive $10,000 for her collection at an early date. Letters on the subject are constantly received at the Postoffice Department and help to make the officials earn their salaries. DE LESSEES’ ROMANCE. How the Count Won His Pretty Young Wife. Mme. dc. Lesseps is a mere child compared with her venerable husband, who has just been sentenced to five years’ imprisonment for his connection with the Panama Canal swindle. Count de Lesseps became a widower at 68, with a numerous family. A few years later he was in the habit of visiting a family in Paris which comprised five sisters One day he remarked that he had undergone great dangers and difficulties among the Arabs, because they could not concieve how a man could live without a wife. . The prettiest of the sisters innocently

MME. DE LESSEPS.

asked: “Why, then, do you not marry again?” “Because I am too old. Besides, if I were to fall in love with a young girl it would be absurd to think that she would fall in love with me.” “Who knows?” observed the questioner. Lesseps told his young listeners about the rose of Jericho, which, after being dried and placed in water, again bursts into bloom. Soon afterward he obtained one of these roses and presented it to the young girl. In a few days she appeared with the reblossomed rose in her hand, which she gave to the count, saying: “See what a miracle the water has affected upon the rose; it is the blossoming of love in old age.” Their eyes met, and he, believing that she had a meaning in what she did, said: “If you really dare venture to share the remaining years of an old man, here is my hand.” This is the way she caught him. But for this marriage it is very uncertain whether he would have undertaken his laborious task at Panama. She was always at his side, and a staunch support throughout his arduous conflicts with politicians money lenders, engineers and laborers. ' Wanted to Know. New York Weekly.

Hood’s Cures

Son of John L, Me Murray Of Havens wood, W. Va. A Father’s^Gratitude Impels Him to Tell How His Son Was Saved. “I write this simply because I feel It a duty to humanity, so that others affected as my eon was may know how to be cured. When he was seven years old a white swelling came on his right leg below the knee, drawing his leg up at right angles, and causing him intense suffering. He could not walk and I considered him A Confirmed Cripple. The swelling was lanced and discharged freely. At length we decided to take him to Cincinnati toe a surgical operation. Ho was so weak and pCJr we gave him Hood's Sarsaparilla to build up his strength. To our great surprise, Hood’s Sarsaparilla not only gave strength but caused the sore, after discharging several pieces of bone, to entirely heal up. His leg straightened out, and he now runs everywhere, as lively as any boy.” J. L. Murray.- Notary Public, Kaveuswood, West Vi rein! o.
