A it solution was adopted declaring thatunle s one of the political parties.cat lis state nominating . conveatiGntpicncunce nn quiyocally in favor of a prohibitory amendment, they will place in nomination a separate ticket for State officers. The most disastrous hafl storm ever known in Bandolph county visited Randolph station, three miles east of Bitige ville, on Sunday sfternoonstrippingcorn stalks and orchards, and breaking about all the window glass in the town. The ground was covered to an average depth of six inches with hail stones. In other parts it the cc nntry much drmage was done. The absconding produce man and forger, C. J. Dewey, who victimized the Molson bank, at Montreal, to the extent of $50,000 turns out to be the same man who who com itted a forgery upon the National Branch bank, of Madison, in this state, for more than $340,000 some years ago under the name of "R O. Hal pert," . and for whose arrest warrants were issued at the time He was recognized in Montreal a few days before his absconding by John Roberts and John W. Terry, of Madison, and had he remained he surelv would have been arrested under the extradition treaty. While the daughters of Ashbury Richey, of Milroy, aged eight and twelve,were returning from n errand to the store, about nine o'clock Saturday night, some unknown person sprang from behind a large box and seized and dragged the eldest one down an alley and attempted to commit an outrage on her person, but was frightened off bv her brother, who was going home. Owing to th- darkness and extreme fright of the girl, the person was not identified, The girl was so frightened that she could not speak for some time after arriving home. The I rish National League of Indiana met in convention at Indianapolis, Wed- ' nesday. Over fifty delegates were present from different cities and towns in the State. The following officers were elected: President, D. J. Sullivan, Indianapolis; Vice Presidents, F. GflHck, Washington; Paul Fitzgerald, BuBhvilie; P. W Stack, Terre Haute; J. H. Deery, Indianapolis; Walter Murphy, Caledonia;Captain James Breen, West Lebanon; Secretary, John R. Welsh, Indianapolis; Treasurer, Patrick Feely, Lafayette. A body of titty masked and armed men presented themselves at the county jail,at Vincennee, Saturday morning, and demanded that Sheriff Kackley deliver over Macy Warner, the murderer of Jacob Mandery. The keys to the jail wereheld by Deputy Sheriff Siddlemeyer, who was in another part of the city, which delayed matters till day began to dawn and the mob dispersed, promising to come again. Warner was put on board of an early train and sent to the Vanderburg county jail for safe-keeping. Bej Loomis; the Wabash express messenger and baggage master ontheDetroit express was overpowered by robbers about midnight between Roann and Peru on the main line and a large sum of money, supposed to be about $1500 was taken from the car. The robbery was unknown to any of the train- men until Peru was reached. Loomis was the only one in the baggage car, and not appearing at Peru, where the train stopped, investigation discovered him lying insensible on ths floor of the car, bucked and gagged, anu badly bruised and bleeding. The express money packages were gone, and it-was at once apparent that the robbera had had everything their own way, and had probably jumped from tae moving train after securing all the money. No clue has been obtained to the robbers. Sunday morning the house of ill fama at Shelbyville, run by a woman known as Kittie Wells, was burned and two fof the inmatss, Flora Garrett and Marcie

were burned to death.

slept in a room in which there were no windows, and the one available exit led to a stairway up which the flames swept with suoh rapidity that rescue was impossible. Their bodies were badly burned, but a postmortem examination showed evidence of foul play. The body of Flora Garrett has the appearance of be

ing stabbed, one cut being found across the left arm and two gashes across the left side. A long dirk knife, opened, was also found. In the front room down stairs slept Kitty Wells and Nelson Purdnm, and immediately east of this room slept Herman Torraelia. whose room was under that of the two girls upstairs. The two men were hold for further examination, as it is believed by many that the girls were murdered, and perhaps robbed. .w , Daring the holding of the State Fair, exhibitors from thi; State and elsewhere held meetings to discuss the advisability

of o ganizing an exposition association. At these meetings was developed a gtneral feeling that a state fair did n t give sufficient opportunity to display he products of large manufactories, as the expense of arranging an exhibit was so great and length of time for d aplav so short. It is not proposed to antagonize tne State Fair. Aresolutiou was adopted for the organization of the American industrial Union, ' and a 1 rge committee was appeintedito take the initiatory steps. It is proposed toho;d the exhibits in the town that contributes the most to the erection of buildings, etc., other things being equal. The State Fair was considered a success, at least financially. The displays were probably better than for some years. The largest attendance was on Thursday,when 20,000 persons were admitted. The total gross receipts at the gate were over $27,000, which insures a handsome surplus. The change in salaries of postmasters took effect the 1st The principal changes in Indiana offices may be noted as follows: Indianapolis is increased $200, Evansville helds its own, and Fort Wayne, Lafayette and Terre Haute are reduced to the second grade. Many of the other offices are reduced from $100 to $400, notably, Bedford, $200; Cambridge City,

$200; Covingtor, $100; Elkhart, $200; Fowler, $100; Franklin, $100; Gieencastie, $200; JefferBonyille, $100; Lebanon, $200; Logansport, $400; Muncie, $200; Rochester, $100. Some of those increased are: Butler, $100; Decatnr,$100; Goshen, $500; Laporte, $500; Sew Albany, $100; Union City, $100. Those holding their own are: Bloomington, Brazil, Crown Point, Greenfield, Hartford tity,Knightstown, Liberty, Mitchell, oblesville, Spencer, Winamac and a few others. In most of the larger cities of the Union the salaries were increased.

THE EAST: , The Massachusetts Greenbickers renominated Governor Butler, Tuesday. A crazy Irishman attempted to shoot the British Consul at New York, Tuesday. The United States sloop of war Yantic from St Johns, Newfoundland, arrived at New York, Saturday, bringing the survivors of the Proteus, all well. The New York railroad commissioners are investigating the reaf on why freight rates between Kew York and Sing Sing should be the same as between New York and Chicago. In a ccntest, Saturday, between Jay Eye See and St. Julien, the former defeated the latter m three straight heats. The track was heavy and the time was not very fast. During a terrible storm, Monday night on Lake Erie, the echconer Yoik State went down with all hands. The crew consisted of Capt. Hayes and six men. The schooner was loaded with 16,C00 bushels of wheat Demand was made upon Wm. Spi ague under the order of the Rhode Isla d supreme court, for possession of the Quid-

neck company's prop rty, but Sprague

refused to snrrender, declaring that he

did not recognize the auche riy. The Huntingdon (Pa.) Car and CarVheel Works hixve succumbed under financial pressure with liabibt'es at $100000. The 400 employes who have been

thrown out of work have not been paid

for two months. Heirs of the widow cf President Fillmore petitioned for the removal of Geo. Gorham as administrator, but the surro

gate denied the motion, holding that the

petitioners had net yet been determined legatees, and it was possible that they

might not eventually be, and, therefore, could not be concerned in tie estate which is valued at $90,0C0. Wm. Walsh, a laborer residing in Brooklyn, snffering from affection of the brain, on Thursday became violent, end his wife went for a phy; ician. On her return with the doctor they were horrified to see ..Walsh holding his youngest child, eighteen months of age, and dashing her head against the floor. The infuriated man was overpowered. The Aild will die. The boiler of the steamer J. S, Robinson, lying at an Albany dook, exploded early Friday morning, killing three persons instantly, and wounding many others. Crafts lying contiguous to the Robinson were badly damaged. The shock of the explosion resembled an earthquake and caused consternation in that vicinity. There were many narrow escapes from death. Thirty-seven trunks and packages of goods, valued at about $60,000, were taken from the ship Alaska, at New York, Monday. The property belonged to at least four passengers from Live- pool on this steamer. The names of two passengers were given as Miss H. Francis Dunbar and Mtb. Hannah Allen, each of whom is supposed to be a dressmaker, having pk ces of business in St Louis and Philadelphia. The officers report an unusual amount of smuggling this year.

ed to be Penton, from Ohio. The outfit consists of a drop preen, $5 dies and steel punches. Saturday morning, between Guilders' Station and Webber's Falls, Indian Nation, while Deputy United States Marshal Addison Beck and Merrill were attempting to arrest John Bark and a Cherokee named John M, Jacks, whisky peddlers, both officers wore killed. S. W. Talmndge, of Milwaukee, whoso reports are alleged to be held in repute, estimates the wheat crop of the United States for 1883 at a little over 400,000,000 bushels being 104,000,000 bushels short, as compared with last year, and 50,000,-

000 bushels less than the average of the past five years. John Bull, the veteran engineer who was hurt in the collision near Akron, is reported dead. When running at the rate of fifty miles an hour his wonderful presence of mind enabled him to stop his train within a distance of 100 feet, a thing probably never done before. The passengers on the tiaiu raised $500 for him. The Supreme Court of Illinois has de

cided that the military fund docs not lapse into the treasury until Oct. 1. The Goyemor and Adjutant-general are cli rected to examine jnet claims, and with their approval the Auditor will issue his

warrant.

The St. Louis crand jury have mado a report in which they say a ring exists in that city, formed by gamblers and notorious individuals, who use money and threats to corrupt the police and other officials. They further declare that Governor Critteuden has the power and it is his duty to investigate the matter. The Cannonball train on the Atchison, Topeka k Santa Fe road was attacked at Ceoilidge, Kansas, on Saturday, by a gang of cowboys. The engineer was killed and the fireman so badly injured that he will die. The conductor was shot at several times, but escaped injury. The express car was attacked, but the messengers repulsed them, and the robbers were pursued by a posse of men. THE SCOTK: . Three convict are reported to have carved each other to death in the Frankfort, Ky., penitentiary on Thursday. The fence cutters have strack Coleman county, Texis, in full force, and in consequence bv siness is paralyzed, and the people want aid. The hail storm Sunday, in the vicinity of Carrcilfcfn. Ky., was severest ever knowi in that vioimtv. Ston s fell as large as nihil ie bulls to the depth of from four to six inches, George Lafiere, a colored man, who died in New Orleans on Thursday at the acre of 110 years, claimed to have been a prince of a tribe of negroes in Gniuea,and was a full grown man when brought to the city and sold as a slave in 1803. , While the brothers, Samuel G., William C. and Thomas Rogers, were taking depositions, Thursday, at Blre Lick,Ky., in their father's will contest, Samuel, who is President of the Farmers' Bank at Carlisle, drew his revolver and shot his two brothers, inflicting mortal wounds. William is a St Lc uis lawyer and Thomas is a farmer. The fratricide claims that

he thought his brothers were about to fire at him. The colored convention in Louisville elected A. M. Greene, ol Louisiana, tern porary chairman, and spent four hours, Monday night, in the attempt to choose a pern antnt presiding officer, which resulted finally in the selection of Fred Douglr.ss. D. A, S raker, of South Carolina, was hie most formidable opponent. Up to that time Douglass had not entered the hall. All evening he paced the floor nervously just outside the door, awaitinti a tardy summons to the president s chair, probably feeling that his race was none too just to him. He was brought into the hall amid the wildest enthusiasm of his friends, and went upon the stand. The old man was ti enabling with excitement, and if he had talked his words would not have been hot ones. The lateness of the hour prevented his delivery of a lengthy ..prepared speech, but he took occasion to deny the report that he had said if Ben Butler were nominated for the presidency he would sweep the colored vote of the Union. A mere slip of a reporter's pencil had nearly caused him to lose the support of his warmest fnesds.

THE WEST: St. Paul and several other places in Minnesota experienced a mild fall of snow Saturday. . With six Mormons in the grand jury Chief Justice Hunter, at Salt Lake, called attention to the violation of the laws against polygamy. Near Shakopee, Minn., Friday morning, the broken section ' f a freight train on the Minneapolis and St. Louis road, ran into another division, Telescoping some care, and instantly killing the engineer, fireman, brakeman, and a cattle driver. San Francisco' detective officers have captured one of the most complete counterfeiting outfits ever seen on the Pacific

FOREIGiMA rumor afloat Friday of the shooting of Pamell was without foundation. At the preliminary examination of O'DonneH, the slayer of Carey, he was committed for trial at the next session of the criminal court, Crottv, a landlord of Ballins, countyMayo, was shot dead, Saturday, at his residence in Minnu ry Pa rk. B e had been wounded several times previously. The Pope yesterday gave audience to 5,000 Italian priests. He expresrrd his gratification at their presence,as ev.ncing the union existing between the clergy and the Holy See. The Dublin Nation accuses the Brifish government and the American legal ion in London of foul play towards O'Don nell, in the hope that he may implicate friends of Parncll in a conspiracy to murder Carey. The Temps says Mat quis Tseng's proposals for the settlement of the existiug difficulties between France and China comprised the annexation of Annam, as far as Bed river, by the French, China to annex the remainder of Tonqnin; the lied river to be open to the commercial world. INSULT TO KING AliFONSO. King Alfonso, of Spain, met wit h a very disagreeable recephon'on his visit to Paris, Saturday. B is carriage was crowded by the populace, who hissed him, crying, "Down with the Uhlan king." A rising of Spanish Bepuhlicaae is feared. King Alfonso tud suite hastily quitted Paris on Monday morning. The French Government disclaims sympathy with the object of th'- mob which attacked the Kinc, and expresses regret. The courage displayed by Alfonso has greatly increased his prestige in Spain, where citizens are highly incensed over the insults offered him in Paris, Bands of people paraded the streets of Madrid Sunday evening, insulted Frenchmen, and openly threatened the French embassy. The police, however, prevented any violence. Senor Merst, at a meeting of the Democratic club, declared th.it the. iusuJle offered the King affected the whole Spanish nation, which would stand by the Kmg. His utterances were received with loud cheering. In Paris alarming reports prevail that the Spanish cabinet will demand, that the French government make a public apology for the insults offered Alfonso, and the German government

will make a diplomatic remonstrance at the indignities to which th Spanish King was subjected. The Radicals violently attack President Grevy aud Prime Minister Ferry for the course they have pursued in the matter. The cabinet is divided as to its policy. The newspapers continue to condemn the conduct of the populace toward King Alfonso, pointing oit especially that they weie playing in tot ho nanus of Bismarck. The Qncen of Spain, on her return to Madrid, was given an ovation by the populace. The settlers of St, Johns, in the Turtle mountain country, havo called for troops for protection agaiust Chief Little Shell. At Ashford, Wis., the eldest son of Mrs. Unibo pointed n londei gun at his little brother, not knowing ifc was loaded, aud when he pulled the trigger the boy was instantly killed.

Rrv. H. Boot a bank president of Valley City, D. T., f ued the Times of that

place for $117,000 damages for charging.

him with perjury, embezzlement, and stealing Sunday-school coppers. The jury awarded him six cents. During a thnuder storm, on Saturday night, the residence of Haivey Wheeler, of Amherst, Mas."., was struck by lightning and Mrs. Wheeler killed. Water being scarce, Wheeler extinguished the fire with milk. Inqu ries from many persons as to whether they con Id be compelled to pay (or newspapers sent to their address without authority have called forth the

following ruling from the Post-jffice Department: The liability of a party to pay for newspapers must be determined by the rules applicable to other contracts. When a publisher, without a request from a party, either expressed or implied, sends a paper, the mere fact that ilie party addressed takes the paper from the postoffice noes net of itself create a liability to pay for it. It takes two to make a contract, and one party without the consent of the other, cannot make him his debtor. A man named Kelly and Luretta Mungle, a fascinating widow, whose conduct was not approved by the people o Hillsbo ro, Ky., Wi eo notified, and refusing to heel the warning, were visited at night by a mob, who tied them to trees aud gave them an old-fashioned slave whipping, the lash being laid the heaviest ou the

man. . 'The Illinois State En fcmolngiat wan s farmeis that the Hessian fly is still in the wheat stubble, and the insect can be practically exterminated, by burning, when practical, otherwise by deep plowing and rolling. S rgeou Mam. of the Marine Hospital service, at Brownsville, Tex., sends the following, recently received from Mexico: "In Tapachula, Slate of Chiapas, a panic reigns on account of the gn at mortality, causer! by black smallpox. The town has a population of 10,000, and 1,20 have died, decomposition se tting in, in many cases before death. The only e action to be held in Illinois this fall will bo in those counties not under township organization, in each of which one county commissioner is to be elected. In Gook county a judge of the Supreme Court and five commissioners are to be elected.

During the past summer Dr. Salmon, of the Agricultural Department, hns been conducting a series of experiments intended to ascertain the causes aud means of prevention of hog cholera and pleuropneumonia among cattle, at the cattle station near this city. About thirty cows have teen the subjects of experiment. Fifteen were inoeul ited to ascertain if the lung disease which prevails about Washington was contagious, but no results that establish that conclusion followed inoculation. Other experiments were made to di cover a system of vaccination to protect hogs and chickens from cholera. The greatest obstacle encountered was the lack of stability in hog virus, and i:s liability to deteriorata Virus must, be cultivated so as to keep it of uniform strength, and as the best means of doing this is yet unknown, it must be ascertained by further experimenta Better results have followed the investigations in tojthe character of the virus in chicken cholera, and Dr. Salmon expressed the opinion that me uis of protecting chickens from that disease wrill soon be known.

THE FATHER OF F1SHCULTURE

Bathing in Salt Lake. In thw water of Salt Lake the bather can lie on the surface of the water without any exertion whatever, or by passing a towel under his knees and holding the t wo eods, he can remain in any depth of water kneeling, with too head and shoulders out of the water, or by shifting it under the solo of the feet he can sit on the water. The one exertion, in fact, is to keep one's balance; none whatever is required to keep afloat. The only danger, therefore, arises from choking by accidently a wallowing some of the water, for the strength of the brine is so intense that the muscles of the throat are convulsed, and strangulation ensues. All the same, I have myself dived several times in Salt L ike, and have survived. No Wonder They Have It. Egyptians are indifferent to death if it Comes on them in the shape of cholera. The natives take no sat. i tar y precautions at all, except when they are compelled. They would crowd like flies around the body of one of their saints or holy men without the slightest dread of infection. They wear clothes left by relatives whom the malady has just carried off, showing even more courage than the merchants who are so anxious to bring Egyptian rags to this country. They still devour the flesh of animals which have perished by a natural death, and what they cannot eat they throw into canals, of which they then drink the water.

A Curious Case from Arkansas. A negro with a remarkable memory lias been discovered at Little Rock. He was employed by a contractor to get out atones of u specific weight, and weighed several oar-loads. When the car was unloaded complaint was made that some were too largo and sorce too small, but to the surprise of the confer ctor the negro gave the exact weight of each to the fraction of a pound, although there were no murks to distinguish one stone from another.

Seth Green's Ideas About the FinnyTribe and some of His Varied Experiences.

Emma Bond, the v ctitti of the outrage mi Christian county, illincis, who hui g on the verge of death for so many month?, iis now reported to be improving in health daily,. and bids fair to recover. The trial of her alleged assailants takes place in November. lfnoNT BoYAn, Ya -Dr. (. H. Hill save; "Brown's Iron Bitters seem to give

general satisfaction, I recommend it." A

Curf, Field and Farm, "How did you ever come to devise this scheme?" "I have been working at it ever since I was large enough to bend a pm." The above remark was addressed to Mr. Seth Green, the veteran fish cult u list, who is known to the entire world, and his reply indicates the extent of his labors. "When I was quite young'," he continued, "I would ho on the limbs of trees

that reached out over the water entire afternoons watching the movements of the fish and studying their habits. lu this way I discovered many characteristics which weie before unknown. I saw, as every observer must see, the destructive elements that, are warring against fish, and I realized that unless something were done the life in the streams of &his country would become extinct. To counteract this disastrous end became my life wTork, and I am happy to say I have seen its accomplishment." "Were you successful on the start?' "No, indeed. Up to that time all artificial attempts to hatch and raise fish from the spawn had failed, and 1 was coin polled to experiment in an entirely new manner. The work was a careful and tedious one, but I finally succeeded, and to duy I am able to hatch and raise fully seventy-live per cent, of all spawn. "Enormous! Why, that is a larger per ceniage than cither the vegetable or animal kingdoms produce in a natural condition.'' "I know it, but we exercise the greatest care in the start, and guard the lit tie fellows until they are able to care for themselves." The foregoing conversation occurred at Caledonia, where the representative of this paper was paying a visit to the State fish hatcheries. It has been his privilege to report very many interesting sights within the past twenty-five years, but the view presented here exceeds in interest anything over before attempted. "How many fish are there in those

ponds, Mr. Green?" "As we have never attempted to count them it will be impossible to say. They extend way up into the millions, though. We shipped over three millions out of the ponds this year and there seemed to be as many afterward m before, We have nearly every variety of the trout family

and many hybrids." "You sp ak of ? hybrids, Mr. Green What do yon mean by that?" "1 have experimented for years in crossing the breed of the various fish,and am still working upon it. We cross the female salmon trout with the male brook trout, jmd thus produce a hybrid. Then we cross the hybrid with the brcok trcut which gives us three-quarter brook trout and one-quarter salmon trout. This makes one of the finest fishes in the world. He has all the habits of the mock trout, lives in both streams and lakes, develops vermillion spots on his sides, rises readily to a fly, is far more vigorous and fully one third larger than the ordinary brook trout of the same aga The possibilities of development in the fish world are great, and we are rapidly ascertaining what they are." As the man of news watched the countenance of Mr. Green while be was giving the above account he could not" help but feel that he was in the presence of one of the few investigators who, from & rick and life-long experience, brings great benefit to the world. Let the reader on agine a strong and stalwart frame, surmounted by a head strongly resembling that of Socrates and covered with a white silky beard and luxuriant gray hair. Seth Green, the father of fish culture, is a pict turn of health, and the reporter could not help remarking so. "If you had seen me last winter and spring, young man, you might have thought differently," said the veteran. "How is that? One would think, to look at you, that sickness was something of which you knewT nothing." "And so it was until last winter. I went down into Florida in the Jail to see what kind of fish they had in that state and study their habits, and was attacked with malaria in its severest form, and when I came home I realized for the firs time in my life, that I was sick. I had dull, aching pains in my i ead, limbs and around my back. My appetite was wholly gone, and I felt a lack of energy such as I had often heard described but never experienced. Any one who has ever had a severe attack of malaria can appreciate my condition. I went to bed and remained there all spring, and if ever there was a sick man I was one." "It seems hardly possible. How did you come to recover so complet ely?" "My brother, who had been afflicted by a severe kidney trouble and threatened with Bright's disease was completely cured by a remedy in which I had groat confi ienoe. T therefore tried the same remedy for uy malaria and am happy to say that I am to day a well man aud through the instrumentality of Warner's Safe Cure, which I believe to oe one of the ta-)sfc valuable medicines Indeed, I

s:e it is indorsed by the United States medical college of New York, and that Dr. Gunn, dean of that institution, has written a long article concerning its value " and are you now as well as formerly?" "Apparently so. I keep the remedy on hand all the while though and tfo not hesitate to recommend it to others." "One question more. How mtmy ponds ( f fish have you here and how are they divided V" "Well, we have 43 ponds which are divided up as follows: 22 roods of brook trout, 2 ponds of salmon trcut, 4 of MeCloud river or rainbow trout, 2 ponds of German trout, 3 of California mountain trout, 2 ponds of hybrids, of one-quarter salmon and three-quarters brook trout, 2 ponds of gold neb, and 1 pond of carp. Then we have what we call the centennial pond or 'happy family,' consisting of crosses of difleient fi-h, including Kennebec salmon, Laud Locked salmon California salmon, brook trout, salmon front and hybrids. These fisu range in size from minnows to 18-pounders, and in age from one an 4 oi e-hali months to eleven years, i forgot to say, also, that we have a 'hospital' pond, which is entiicly empty which spt-uks pretty well for a community of many millions. Indeed the whole secict of fish culture can be summed up in four things. Impregnation, using no water. Plenty of food, plenty of pure water aud cleanliness." The number of fish exhibitions which

are takiug place in all parts of liluropc and the uuueual interest which is being manifested in this subject throughout he world all owe their origin to tne process above described as originated and cent ucted by Set h Or. en. It w certainly cause for congratulation to every Amoi ican that this country product s bo many men wi ose genius brings value to the world, audit is proof positive of the greatest merit that a remedy even with such high standing as Warncr'a Safe Cure is known to have should bo so strongly endorsed and recommended by one eo reputable and reliable as Stth Gren.

Useful Hints. If you are to spend the evening out in company or at an , ntertainment,it is good policy to take a nap, or at least a thor ough rest during the afternoon. Care like this, which er ems to be but trifling, to preserve the health, really makes a great difference in t he aggregate of one's life. Keep a dish of Indian meal on the toilet stand near the soap, and rub the meal freely on the h mda after soaping them for washing. It niii surprise you, if you have not tried it, to find how it will cleanse and soften the skin, and prevent chapping. It is better ne t to put woolen carpets in theelcseta,as bvugdark and quiet moths aud other vermins are more apt to collect Straw mattiu ? or oil clcth is much more easily kept in older. Even heavy brown wrapping paper is not a bad substitute for ea.pet? in closets, but little used. Make a square bag of liannel, leaving one end partly open. In this put all he remnants of soap as tue pieces becouie too

small to handle easily. When the bag ie tided baste up the opening, audit makes a good bath tub arrangement.

Encouraging for Him, The Wall Street Daily News says: A tramp who had asked a citizen of Jersey City for a, cash lift was met: with the re"Sir, I began life on 30 cents, and am now worth 50,000, a"d no man ever gave me a penny in my life. "And I, sir," addeda eceond citizen, "have made a fortune of 40,000 by my own unaided efforts." "While I' modestly remarked a third, "began life as a shoeblack, and now live on the interest of my money." "Gentlemen." said the tramp, as he looked from one to the other,, "I thank you. Yen have planted new courage in my fainting heart. I will begin this vety hour to arcaes a competence. Which of you can post me on how to fail in business and get ray start by beating my creditors?" One man gulped down something and entered a grocery. The second m m grew red in the fane and said he had to see a man.

here at the time."
