A natural effect of the free mail delivery system is the improvement of highways throughout the country. In locating free delivery routes the condition of the roads is always an important consideration, and many petitions have been denied on the ground that the highways were not fit for travel during the muddy months of the year. This point is now understood, and nearly every petition that comes to the department these days is accompanied by an offer or a pledge on the part of the county commissioners to improve the roads and put them in fit condition as rapidly as the new systems are established.

When the voter goes to the polls next month to cast his ballot for his choice of candidates, he will not be bothered with the scarcity of material from which to choose, as there will be plenty of names on the ticket, and which is much larger than any other ever voted since the inauguration of the Australian ballot system. The ticket this year will contain the names of thirteen presidential nominees and their electors, and although each separate column will not be filled out entirely, it will occupy just as much space, as blanks will have to be left where no name appears. The official ballot when spread out before the sovereign citizen, who is about to mark thereon his choice of candidates, will be almost as long as a blanket.
THE CAUSE OF SIGHING.
Prof. Lumsden says that sighing is but another name for oxygen starvation. The cause of sighing is most frequent worry. An interval of several seconds often follows moments of mental disquietude, during which time the chest walls remain rigid until the imperious demand is made for oxygen, thus causing the deep inhalation. It is the expiration following theinspiration that is properly termed the sigh, and this sigh is simply an effort of the organism to obtain the necessary supply of oxygen. The remedy is to cease worrying. One may be anxious, but there is* no rational reason for worrying. A little philosophy will banish worry at once. Worry will do no good; it will'rob one of pleasure when blessings do come, as one will not be in a condition to enjoy them.— Popular Science News.

On the complaint of citizens of Darlington an affidavit was issued last week for the arrest of Dr. Hamilton, a leading physician of Darlington, charging him with failure to report a case of scarlet fever where he was the attending physician. The arrest is the first ever made in this county for a like offense. The warrant was sworn out by county health officer Barcus who is obliged under the law to prosecute such cases, and the law prescribes a fine of not less than ten dollars for such offense upon conviction.

Members will line up just outside the church door, make remarks and stare at the ladies who pass, as is their custom. Any member known to escort a lady to church like a gentleman will be promptly expelled from membership.” The effect was marvelous.

“One day last winter a lady came to my drug store and asked for a brand of cough medicine that I did not have in stock,” says Mr. C. R. Grandin, the popular druggist of Ontario, N. Y. “She was disapointod and wanted to know what cough preparation I could recommend. I said to her I could freely recommend Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and that she could take a bottle of the remedy, and after giving it a fair trial if she did not find it worth the money to bring back the bottle and I would refund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the lady came back with a friend in need of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I consider that a very good recommendation for the remedy.” It is for sale by J. W. Hollan & Co., druggists.
The grand jury last Wednesday returned three more indictments and was finally discharged. Fred Johnson was indicted for forgery and is now in jail, the bond he gave the other day being deemed inadequate. Three indictments were returned against Charley Anable for violating the liquor laws, and Sam Murdock was indicted for selling liquor to a minor. Thos. McClamrock was indicted for failing to perform his whole duty as a road supervisor. The rest of the indictments are being kept secret as the arrests on them have not as yet been made. —Crawfordsville Journal.
Hunters report that quails are more numerous this season than ever before. For a few years the birds have been scarce, but the state law’s enacted seem to have put a check to the wholesale slaughter. The time limit governed by the law protecting quails expires November 10, and hunters are looking forward to the time eagerly. Other game is also reported plentiful in most localities this season.

It has been recently estimated that there is still outstanding more than $15,000,000 of the old “shin plasters," or fractional paper currency. No doubt much of this has been destroyed, but private collectors are believed to hold great quantities of the bills. They are still redeemable at face value, though they are no longer legal tender. A minister in an eastern town on a recent Sunday surprised his con-
