fRANKS PLAYED BY SPIRITS. „! Slade Give* a Midnight Exhibition of P»w«r Over the Invisible. “Once,” said the real estate man, “before I fell front grace, I was a reporter on a paper down in tbe central part of the state! There were a good many spiritualists in the city where I worked, said 1 got rather interested in the belief myself. I had been to numerous seances and seen some things that nuzzled me, and 1 hailed the coming of Slade, the great slate writer, with joy. I thought that he could, if he chose, clear up a lot of foggy points for me and either make me a full fledged believer or show me that the whole thing was a fake. “Slade came to town, and I got well acquainted with him. He gave a number of seances, and I attended all of them. One night I went to the hotel where he was staying and had a long talk with him. I didn’t get much satisfaction, I am free to confess. Just as I was about to' start for home a very heavy snowstorm * came up, and Slade kindly invited me to, share his room. We went to bed about 12 o’clock. “I confess that I was a trifle scary. I thought that a man who had the control over tbe spirits that Slade seemed to possess might have supernatural visitors at night, and I didn’t exactly relish the programma However, it was very stormy outside, and I concluded that I would rather take the chances of a visitation from a few spirits^ more or less, than walk a mile through a blizzard. Slade kept talking cheerfully about all sorts of things until we were undressed and in bed and the lights bad been put out '• Then he relapsed into silence. I turned over on my side and tried to get to sleep. The room was quiet as the grave. Suddenly I beard something strike bang against tbe wall, and I sat straight np in bed. One of my shot* had left its place on the floor and had teen thrown with terrific force against the walL

'‘This -was the beginning of a senes of remarkable happenings that lasted three hours. Every article in the room was thrown around promiscuously. The furniture was banged against the ceiling. The bed, a heavy affair, was picked up and chucked against the wall with a jar that nearly threw me out of it. To cap it all, something got hold of the bedclothes and began to pull them off. I hung op to them with all my strength, but they were drawn off and thrown in a heap in the middle of the room. All this time Slade lay on his back on his side of the bed. Be never moved, so far as I could see, nor did he say a word. “I didn't sleep much that night Slade told me that he had the spirits do these things. I don’t know whether he did or not, but I do know that I wouldn’t spend such another night for a good bit of money, and I further know that 1 cannot explain the phenomena on any other basis than that something was doing these things at Slade’s behest. ” —Buffalo Express. Firing Rig Guns. ‘ ‘The man who has never been in close proximity to a 100 ton gun when it is fired can have little conception of the noise and vibration,” said Lieutenant John W. Leigh, a retired naval officer. •^Partly by courtesy and partly by ?chance I was on the Thunderer at the siege of Alexandria some years ago. Two sets of advice were given me as to how to act when the big guns were fired. Old experienced seamen can stand the shock by raising on thoir toes the moment the word is given to fire. The majority of people, however, find it necessary in order to preserve their ear drums from perforation to lie down, resting mo6t of the weight on their hands and toes. Even with this precaution the sensation is most unpleasant until one gets used to it. Even with the comparatively small guns in general use iti- our navy the concussion on board a ship when a shot is fired is very annoying, but the enormous guns used so generally in European navies are a source of terrible danger to the crew as well as the enemy, and I doubt if they could possibly bo used in a hand to hand encounter, useful as they are for destroying distant ports. St. Louis Globe-Demo-crat. *

' Breach of Promise Salts. Goldie asks if a young man can sue a young woman for breach of promise if -.while engaged to him she marries another mart. Answer: There are a great many foolish young people in the world, Goldie, who seem to think that they can in some way by money compensation make up for unhappiness, sleepless nights, tears and heartache. Unless there has been some actual wrong, breach of promise suits are a very poor investment . They generally end in a good deal of scandal and have most unpleasant consequences. If no real wrong has been sustained, the court would likely award about a emit damages, and there would be heavy costs and all parties made ridiculous, Such suits are best letalone. Legally a man can sue for breach of promise as well as a woman, but he appears very ridiculous when he does so.—New York Ledger.

Should Your Shoes Creak. Creaking shoes are an intolerable nuisance. Yet some shoes will creak, notwithstanding every precaution. For such in tractable wear it is recommended to pour a small quantity of linseed or sweet oil upon a fiat surface, like a platter, and allow the soles to stand in the oil over night In that way they will not only lose the squeak, but will become saturated with the oil, making them proof against dampness. Another cure may be effected by taking them to a cobbler and having one or two pegs driven into the. center of the sales.— New York World. Fetching. Mrs, Speudleigh—Don’t you think, dear, that the way I dress is really fetching? Mr. Speudleigh (groaning)—I should say I did! It is fetching me into the bankruptcy court l—H^lo.

The Grand Old Party la Logan. The grand old party lit Logan township seems to be at raid to move. The late primary election hasictt them hopelessly divided. The defeat of their most prominent and induet - tial citizens have left them complete. |\ in the soup. Loveless’s defeat was brought about by a combination of all the j little boodiers and jealous politicians. ! Th“ court house ring set them all up j against him. Some say Loveless is ! imbued with loo many populistic j views to be trusted by the republicans. But commissioner would have I had no political significance. But ! the reason the court house ring did ! not want him was they knew they i ! could not use him to carry out their I purposes. Love'ess is too indepen- j dent to be ruled. But we were going to say there will be music incite air! soon. Henry C. Shaffer is laying hi-| plans to secure the nomination for i trustee and we believe he will be nominated. But put it down that< the next trustee will be a democrat by fifty majority. The defeat of John B Young bv j J. W. Brumfield lias caused a deep j land bitter feeling in the republican | party. The rank and file feel that Brumfield has had enough especially as he would have been fighting the party today if the party had not given him one of the best offices in the county. A great many who were grumbling at the democrats now begin to realize that the hard timSs have been brought about by republican legislation for years. They have found out that the present hard times is the result of bad laws that have been enacted by the republican party. We predict4 better times to follow the passage of the tariff bill through congress. Nero. j

Dick Crawford brought bis twelvemonths old child, suffering from infantile diarrhoea, to me. It had been [ weaned at tour months old ami being sickly everything ran through it like water ' through a sieve. I gave it the usual treatment in sueh eases but without benefit, j t he child kept growing thinner and thinner S until it weighed but little more'1 than when | horn, or perhaps ten pounds. I then started the father to give Chamberlain’^ Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy.

Hoti.sework is healthy and many physicians recommend it to women who need exercise. Walking is not enough : it exercises only legs, while dusting and sweeping bring an entirely different set of muscles into play.

There appeared recently in the Chicago Tribune a lengthv article on the evil effects of cigarct smoking.
