TO BUSINESS INVESTORS. Come to Jasper.

To honest, Industrious men. or men ofl csDltal. seeking a location to establish themselves in business, we wish iu whisper that; Jasper presents superior! Inducements. . . ' It Is a town of about 1,800 inhabitants, Biirrnutided bv a fine agricultural country, which ships annually hundreds of cars or agricultural products conwnuentlv subsistence' is cheap. It U under laid with a fine Quality of serai-block coal, easily mined by drifting into any of the hills surrounding it. For steam purposes the pea coal from these mines is delivered anywhere in the town at fifty cents a ton, and is practically inexhaustible, lump coal is fur nlshed in the coal house or bin, at any place in town, at from 11.30 to 1 75 a ton, according Jto quantity desired. The county gets its coal delivered for use in the;court bouse and jail at $1.18 ton. It is surrounded by a fine body of timber, of all kinds Indigenous to the at i tude. Patoka river skirts the south and east sides of the town, and furnishes a never failing supply of water for manufactories along its banks. Good soft water obtained in abundance for domestic uses any place in the town at a depth ot from 20 to ju reet. A line quality of good building gray sand'Stone is quarried near the town. This stone has demonstrated its excell ence by standing good for over SO years the severe test of rreezee and thaws in the pier of a bridge across Patoka river. House patterns or gooa one are deivered at f 6 to'f 5 50 per 1,000, and small er quantities at a sugnt advance, ana . . a . a . B buildiug lumber, rough, at tl5 per 1.000 feet; surfaced and seasoned at 20to $30 per 1.000, ae to quality. The community is a liberal aad latentgent one; with handsome and commodious Catholic and Methodist churches, and good public schools, and citieens, without exception, heartily welcome all new business enterprises. It is toe nortiieru termfnous of the Jasper and Evansvilie division of the L., K, & St. j. icy. and has three trains each way per day. The town has la msnu fret urine estab lishments using steam power, embracing 2 steam flour nihil, S planing mills, 2 aw mills, 1 spoke factory, 1 stave and shingle factory, I furniture factory, brewery, l macuise enop, 4 wacon lactones, and z bricsyards, which did a business last year aggregating over 27C.CO0. It hsi three large well-stocked dry goods and general stores, and smaller ones, grocery stores, none of them extensive, 4 confectioneries, t shoe ebopa, a good photograph gallery, 9 book stores, S drug stores, 4 hotels, z printing offices, I state bank, livery stable, and several other branches of business, all dollar well, ami 2 building associations of $100,000 and $50,000 capital respect ively. To persons who are seeking an Invest ment for capital in manufacturing enter prices of 8iiy kind, and have akill and in dustry to apply to their business, Jasper presents rare inducements, and her cm tens will extend a hearty welcome. Among the branches of business which ought to be established here and would certainly pay, are a woolen mill, a small foundry, a large fruit conuery, a good butter, and cheese dairy, a tiling factory, a handle factory, a good broom factory, a good pottery, a general produee dealer, who would pay cash for farm produce of all kinds in any quantity; another Hour mm mignt possibly be made to pay, also, as over 60,000 bushels of wheat were shipped from Jasper last year which it seems to us might have been made into flour here with profit, and (be manufactured products shipped. It is probable, too, that a mer chant witn sumcient capital to carry a good stock of any single line of goods, Would be able by his larger assortment of that line, and consequent lower pur chases, to secure enough trade from the general stores abounding in the country to make it profitable but this would be an experiment, while the others may be counted as certainties. At all events, if you are seeking a location, come and be one of us. Enjoyed It at tho Capitol. "Tell yon what it is." said a member ef the Illinois Legislature,"! had lots of fun the first week I went to Springfield." "What was it?" a iced a bystander.

Kicolinland Adelina Patti. Rle. Nicolini does not stsg with his wife, says a Paris letter to the Now York Tribune. Us is her devoted care-taker. He watches to protect her from drans the instsnt she quits the stage, watches that she does not talk between the acts after the carmine is laid on her lips, keeps intrusive bores away, and is attentive to all those whom she wishes to treat as friends. If her throat is parch ed he drops wster down It so that no red paint will be swallowed with it. He ec that the water which is to wash off the face pigments is the right heat and oversees the make-up operations, and all this quietly, affectionately aud with out fuss. If Mne. l'attl were in tne hands of an old nurse sne couio not oe more tenderly used. When her gratitude wells over she stands up. takes her husband by the hand, and lowers her bead, the top of which he kisses, the face not being ta a siaie io w He doss not strike one. hs is so unas suming and ustheatrical, as being the husband or a star, or a proiessionai uor.

Mexican Tin.

Chicago Tribune : "It has been thotsgt that there was not any tin in America except in tbe Black Hills," said J. D owers, mining engineer, or san FranCisco, yesterday. "Heretofore," he tinued, "It was not conceded in this

country, especially among metal men.imember that trifles to yon are mountains

that there was any commercial value to the tin in Mexico. Last April at Zaocatenas I found good looking ground, and shall was sunk thirty feet deep, At tbe bottom of the shaft there was a three foot vein of pure carbonate of tin run uiug from 15 to 60 per cent. tin. Un dcrueath this at the next blast there was revealed a brown oxide of tin which greatly resembled iron to the uninitiated. The yield was from 40 to 80 per cent. tin. Two Chicago men, 3. K. Dow and E. W. Morrison, went down, examined the property, and bought it. Another property was found eighty miles from this place and thirty miles from the Mexican Central Railroad. Iere there were evidences of tin in pay ing quantities. The natives were at work in a crude way shipping it to Mexico City. What is known as Cor nish tin, which comes from tbe old country, is worked by tbe stamp process, including stamps, puddler, condensers and smelting furnace. The only process necessary with the Mexican tin is that of smelting the ore the same as copper or lead is smelted. This reduces tbe cost greatly and in addition this ore carries Its own fluxing material. "Tbe silver mines at Tiapujahna, Mexico, Stale of Michoacan, are 2,000 feet in length by 650 feet in width, and are the centre of a group of mines, one of which is owned in Chicago. This one is a twenty-stamp mill constantly poundinz out silver. The veins run through the property in two parallel lines 250 reet apart. It has been said that lite and property are not secure in Mexico, and that tbe mining laws of the country operate unjustly. Lite aud property are as secure as in Chicago. Ihere are numerous English companies at work and tbe feeling is favorable to Atneri cans, the administration party being es pecially so. All mining material is ad mitted free of duty, and the taxes on sil ver and gold are light. To Cook Husbands. Here is the receipt of Miss Juliet Cor son, tbe famous cuiainiere, for "cooking husbands so as to make them tender and good." She says: "Make a clear steady fire out of love, cheerfullness and ueatuese. set him as near tuts as seems to agree with bins. If he sputters and nzsee do not be anxious ; some husbands do this until they are quite done. Add a little sugar in the form of what the confectioners call kisses, but so vinegar or pepper on any account. Do not stick any sharp instrument in hi in to see if be is becoming tender, stir him gently watch the while, he lie too fiat and clone to the kettle aud becomes u so I ess. You cannot fail to know when he is done If thus treated you will find him digest agreeing nicely with you and the child ren, and he will Keep as long as you want unless, you bocoino careless and set him in too cold a place. To wanda Re porter Journal. The Woes of an Editor. It is a sad duty to us to stato to the many readers of this paper that we are actually in need or a suit of clothes. We would like to attend preaching, but remain away because we are ashamed to enter the church with the suit that is worn daily. We go occasionaly, but have to slip in quietly and take a back seat. This piece is not written for the purpose of soliciting some kind friend to donate us a suit of clothes nor some free hearted merchant to sell us a suit on time, but to arouse the sympathies of those owing us. We have spent the last dollar in our possession to accom modate you; now come to our needy assistance and receive the blessings that only a poor, oppreed newspaper saau can bestow. Sonora (Ala.)

If you have lost a child, remember that for the one that Is gone there is no more to do, but for those left, everything. Make your girls and boys study phiosophy ; when they are ill try and make them comprehend why and how their complaint arose, and the remedy, so far as you know It. Impress upon them, from early infancy, that their actions have results, and that they can not escape consequences even by being sorry when tney nave done wrong. Kespect their little secrets, u tnsy have concealments, fretting them win never make tbem tell, and time and patience will. Allow them as tbey grow older to have opinions of their own ; make tbem ndlvlduals and not mere echoes. Find out all their special tastes and de velop tbem instead of spending time, money and patience in torcmg tnem into studies that are entirely repugnant to them.

Lungs and Air. Ia the course of twenty-four hours a bout 3.000 srallons of air pass through our lung: and we have seen that the air thus expelled from tbem is unnt to sup port life-nay, eveu that it is highly Doisonous. it not oniy contains car honic acid gas. but some omer organic . . . a matters that are much more deleterious. It has been ascertained by direct experi ment that air containing respiratory in purity, measured by an addition of only two oarts of carbonic acid per 10,000 o air. is the limit of such impurity that can be allowed to be present u we are to remain in health. But in order to attain this standard, no less than 3,000 cubic feet, or 10.000 gallons of air per hour must be available, and wall mixed with the air breathed. Ia other words, by our breathing we spoil 130 times more of air breathed. In other words, by our breathiB&r we snoil 120 times more of air thau we can use ia our lungs, instead of only 2,000 gallons, we need 240,000 gallons of air every day of oar lives. Herald of Health. IiOvo Charms. In the south of France they make i verv oeculinr love charm in a very pecu liar wav. Under certain ceremonies the young man catches and boxes up a frog in a box with a lot of little holes bored in the wood. Tbe casket is then buried in an ant hill or two weeks. The ants, of course, attack tbe prisoner and eat up all the flesh, and all that is left is the creature's bones. Among tbeso is a ahlplii ahaned bone about as large as one's thumb nail, upon one end of which is a little hook. The girl takes this bone and has It blessed surreptitiously by the nriest without his knowledge that is she exposes it during the benediction at .a a a fa At.. . t a L. mass and then sne hooks u on iue cium-Ins-of her sweetheart that is to be. Tbe chirm, when properly prepared with all due ceremony and care, has never been kuown to fail. Care ef Umbrellas. Umbrellas will isst mnch longer if. when thev are wet. they are placed handle downward to dry. Tbe moisture fails from the edges of ths frame, and the fabric dries uniformly. If stood handle upward, as is commonly the case, the top or tbe umbrella notas tne moisture, owing to the lining underneath the ring; it consequently takes a long time todry, and injures tbe silk or other fabric with which it Is covered. This is the man cause of the umbrella wearing out so soon at the top. Umbrella cases are reanon albls for the wear of tbe silk. The constant friction causes tiny holes that annaar so orovoklngly early. When not in use the umbrella should be left loose and when wet left loose to dry. The Twelve Greatest Women. A. woman has given her idea of tbe twelve greatest women of history, excluding all who haye not left some permanent memorial or trace of her work for the judgment of posterity.

tury. The "History ef Med field," Mass. makesfSiention of the manner of marketing in the Eighteenth centsry, in the towns near Boston. It was the custom for the women of Medfleld and other towns to go regularly to market.! exeeot during tbe winter. They went on horseuacK. A large wallet or strong bag was strung across ths horse's back, containing the butter, cheese and otberj similar products of the farm. Eggs were wrapped in tow, singly, to prevent breaking. Poultry was carried dauslinsat ths side of tbe load. Back of ths rider was a bag of hay for the horse. Tbey started about sunset, and went as far as Roxbury, where they tamed nto a horse shed, gave the horse a Dart of the hay, and used the rest for a pillow, on which they slept a few hours, and started oul again in season to reach Bos ton early in the morning. After selling out they retnrnsd eesae the same day .Youth's Companion. Gathered la The vicinity of Duff, Dubois eonntv. haa been troubled for some time by aa organized band of thieves who stole cattle, horses and hogs, snd pilfered bouses, Tbe citizens of Duff organised oommitte of safety and employed mea to hunt down tbe thieves. These detectives made a number of arrests, and odged their men in jail, but two of the most expertlswine-lifters fled tbe eounty. Thursday of last week, J. a.
