An exchange says that dancing makes girls’ feet large, ice cream produces freckles, swinging on the front gate produces rheumatism, chewing gum distorts the mouth, playing the piano destroys the beauty of the hand and washing dishes causes chaps to come—to propose.

Last Sunday five or six boys were caught by Dave Leatherinan in his water melon patch.

A spark from a threshing machine engine set fire to the separator and grain on the farm of James H. Culp, in Hanging Grove township, Monday. The separator was new and was the property of Henry Rowels, of Pulaski county. It was entirely consumed, together with considerable straw andu grain. Those present had a hard time to save the residence and barn from the flames. They, have some queer names for towns out west. In the “folder” of the Bellaire, Zanesville & Cincinnati Railway appears, among others, this notice: “The only, line rnneing through, without change of cars, to Jerusalem, Bethel, Ozark, Jacobsburg, and in full view of the Plains of Abraham, near Cumberland.

A man being refused credit at one of the Kohomq groceries do liberately priced up a ham 'of meat and earned it away.

The heirs of Reuben P. Ryan, whose death was mentioned in the Pilot at the tiifte, have brought suit against the county for SIO,OOO.

The company this year shows some strength over that of last year. To-night they play the great emotion.'l drama in five acts, entitled “East Lynne.” To-morrow afternoon they will give a matinee, the admission of which will be only 10 cents. The week’s engagement will close Saturday evening with the comedy drama, “The Outcast.” The Phelps, Dodge & Palmer b»ot and shoe depart ment of the northern prison closed down last Monday for .vn indefinite period on account of dullness in trade. The Chicago houses of this firm are now closed do-yn, and as are shipped here from those houses in a partial state of completion to be finished by labor at the prison here, these supplies have been cut off, which leaves nothing to do in the. department. The firm, which has about 120 men under contract, has to carry them at their own expense, until operations are resumed again. Meantime the men will be employed about the prison, so far as they can be used. It is not expected that they will be idle more than & week.—Mich. City Dispatch.
