Large transparent glas or table saucers havA hue n Rusnendod below each lamp, so a to intercept any stray piece of carbon which may happen to fall In the future. It is even proposed to try tha experiment of lighting the room from outside, iu which case the glas of the central part of the dome would offer a most effectual protection.

"Insanity is increasing amons tne women of America." Don't believe it, exclaims the Norwich Herald: the women of America don't drag as long skirts over dirty sidewalks as they did only a year ago; nor do they go along and every now and then make a Irautic dive for a fistful of trail, which i3 dexterously lifted by the left foot. It was a Boomera.no. An ingenious drug store clerk, who suspected that some one was tapping the till, üxed an arrange ment on it so that any one who tried to open the drawer, without understanding it, would get four inches ot brad-aw l rammed into im hand.

She Made it Warm for the Doctor A good joke was unconsciously got off re centlv on a local phv&ician. m arrang ing a patient's broken leg he connected with it a tackle having a flat-iron as a compensating weight, and told the man's wife to let it stay there until his return. But she wanted wanted to use the iron next day bad, and she used it. While at work she saw the doctor coming, and in her fright replaced the iron glowing hot on the tackle. He came in, examined the leg and took up the hot iron It dropped like lead, and the man of physic went on an impromptu can-can, equaled only bv the vigorous use he made of his tongue. There was music there for half an hour.and he thinks vet that that woman put up a job on him. The Pope on Brains and Legs. When Pius IX. whs pope, Fanny Elssler visited Rome, danced, and set the public crazy. In 48 hours the gilded youth, her admirers, had subscribed 1 J.000 francs and bought a splendid crown to be presented to her as a testimonial. hen the time came tor pre seLting the danseuse with it, one of the sub scrhers, an excellent vemng noble, obtained an audience of the pope and asked if there would be anvthing wrong in the prcsenta tion if the pope had any objections. "I have neither objection nor advice to offer," i aiu m uuiiue.!, um n uws stcui i,o uid that you might have pitched upon a more appropriate gilt. In Iny simplicity as a pne&t, I have always thought that crowns were made for heads and not for legs." The crown was duly g'ven to the danseuse, who meanwhile had heard of the pope's saying, and promptly sent the value ot the gift in money to the parish priest for the poor. Pius iX. heard of this in his turn, and when next he met one of the subscribers to the testimcmial said to him: You were quite right in giving that woman that crown she has just proved that there is more sense in her legs than you had in your heads." Nothing impure or injurious contaminates the popular antidote to pain, throat and lung remedy, and general corrective Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil. It may be used without the slightest apprehension of other than salutary consequences. Coughs, rheumatism, ear-ache, bruises, cuts, and sores succumb to its action.

Address of the Immigrant Belief Board to the Public At a raas meeting of the colored citizens uf Indianapolis, held in Bethel A. M. E. church, on Monday evening, tho 24th of November, the undersigned were appointed a com Tiittec to devise waj's and means of caring forany destitute immigrants who may como to our State from tho South. "Wo do not stop now to discuss the causes that have led to this exodus of our people from tho South. We simply fay that no reasonable man who mingles and converses with these people can doubt that in tho South they are defrauded, persecuted, proscribed, denied their political rights, and treated in general with tho most inhuman barbarity. They leave their homes to escape outrages to which no Ireeman should bo subjected in a freo country. They come to Indiana because they expect to find a nobler civilization, humane treatment, and protection in their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In this expectation they will not be disappointed. These people are our kindred bound to us by the strongest ties that bind men together, hence we feel it an imperative duty to make provision for the temporary relief of any

who may be in need.
