The Boom Didn’t Come.» It would be interesting to know just when that boom is to set in here as a result of the saloons coming back. We were promised all sorts of increased business by the wet advocates if the town would vote wet, but now after a period of several months we have four vacant rooms on the business street that were occupied when the town was “dry.” The “wets” should get busy at once and have a real genuine boom as promised, before the public comes to the conclusion that the people have been buncoed.— Ligonier Leader. For Sale—A fine new, well built, 9 big room house on Huntington St. Good water, fine cellar. Price SBSO. W. G. Connolly.

The manager of one of the electric light companies of the western part of the country has greatly facilitated the business, of making the monthly readings of meters by having these instruments placed on the rear porches of houses instead of in the cellars. About haxf of the meters of this company are now located In some convenient and protected place in the rear of the' tyouse, where it is always accessible without regard to the pres ence or absence of the inmates of the house. The result is that the average time formerly consumed by the inspector has been cut about in half.

Billy Sunday is being criticised by some newspapers because his receipts for the last evangelistic season were $70,000, or $2 per convert However, if most of those same editors undertook th? same job at $2 per convert, they would have to borrow money to get home on. But some people seem to be happy when they are knocking. - Ligonier Leader The Semi Annual Meeting of the Physicians of the Thirteenth Congressional District will be held at the Inn, Wawasee, next Tuesday Sept 5. This place was selected for the meeting in order that the doctors might combine business with pleasure and have an outing while attending the meeting. The invitations were mailed 1 out by the county chairman but the cards of acceptance are being sent to Dr. Bowser. So far the prospects are good for a large attendance.

SCHEME OF POOR PARISIANS Get Foremost Placer In Hospital WaIV ing Liner and Sell Them to Those Really Sick. The boy messenger has of late years made a great difference to the queue outside theater doors on a first night, and here in Paris, where the boy messenger is far less common than at home, a popular first night or a free performance of the opera gives employment to a large number of poor people who sell their places in the line to amateurs. But these poor people have discovered a novel and remunerative way now of using the spare time which is so very rarely money in their case. The Paris hospitals are by no means as well managed as hospitals at home, and out patients, or patients applying for admission, are very often kept waiting their turn longer than their strength can stand. The queue experts have discovered this fact, many of them, no doubt, through sad experience, and many of them now make it their business to attend this or that hospital to take a foremost place in the waiting crowd and sell these places to the real sick, who are delighted to pay sd. or lOd. for the privilege of seeing the doctor an hour or two earlier. There is no end to the ingenuity of the poor Parisian or the poor of any big town who live by their wits, but proxy for invalids is certainly a novelty in the money-making methods of civilization. —Paris Correspondence London Evening Standard. OLD AGE OUT OF FASHION Civilized Man or Woman of Seventy Now Younger Than the Savage of Forty. Careful studies and measurements have shown that our time of actual maturity and arrest of growth in physical characters, such as height, weight and<.chest girth, is much later than formerly supposed. Instead of reaching, as was at one time confidently stated, our full height at eighteen, our full strength at twenty-three and our full chest girth at twenty-five, as a matter of fact we continue to increase slowly, it is true, in all these respects until thirty-five, thirty-eight and even forty years of age. By living a healthful, active, happy life and keeping up all our interests, we can grow and develop and adjust ourselves and feel that we are growing until we are one day suddenly dead, without ever realizing in any distressing or painful way that we are growing old at all. Already old age has gone quite out of fashion. The civilized, educated man or woman of seventy is younger than the savage of forty or the peasant of fifty. What with steady spread of regular vacations and country or suburban homes and walking clubs and golf and gardens and automobiling and travel of all sorts, those who would have been considered old once are now only seventy or seventy-five years young. —Dr. Woods Hutchison in Hampton’s Magazine. QUEER PRESENT FOR A QUEEN. In all probability the king of Dahomey’s present of pipes and loincloth never reached Buckingham palace. On one occasion, however, Queen Victoria had publicly to accept a gift of quite as embarrassing a nature. This was in 1856, when the king of Siam sent a mission to that country. On being presented to the queen, who received them seated on her throne and wearing her crown, the envoys crawled from the doors to her majesty’s foot on their hands and knees, and then each drew a present from the folds of his robes. The first object placed in the queen’s hands was a silver spittoon. Another deduction. A Have you written a play ?” “No.” “When do you expect to have it finished ?” “Have what finished?” “The play you are writing.” NOTICEABLY AFFECTED. “Did the jurors seem to be affected by Briefley’s plea” “Yes. He kept them in a continuous yawn.” ITS NATURE. “This angry correspondence is a war of words.” “Nothing more than a scrap of oaner.”

NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS Mankind and the World Frequently Disappointing to Hopeful Youth, Says Theodore Parker. 1 suppose many of us are a little disappointed with mankind. The world of the girl’s dream is not the world of the young woman's actual sight and touch, and still less is it so of the woman no longer young. In the moonlight of dreamy youth, as we look out of the windows and rejoice in the blooming apple trees, how different does the world seem from what we find it the next day, when in the heat of a May sun, we go about and remove the caterpillars from the scrubby trees. A boy bred in a wealthy family in a little village, secluded from the eyes of men. filling his consciousness with nature and the reflection of human life which deep poems and this great magnificent Bible and other religious books mirror down into his own soul, goes out into the world, and finds things very different from what they appeared when seen through the windows of the home which his father’s and mother's affection colored with the rose and violet of their own nature. —Theodore Parker. Remorse. An agent in a flourishing western town writes as follows regarding pangs of conscience experienced by a former loss claimant The claimant's method of easing his mind is unique and possesses the advantage of economy. The letter is as follows: “We had a call this day from the Rev. , formerly of this city, who had a loss with you in 1892. He wanted to know the amount paid him on the loss, which he thinks was only a paint damage of from sl2 to sl4. He now concludes that it might not have been right for him to have accepted the money for the painting, as he says ‘he building really needed painting at the time. He would now like to have the payment which was made him considered a donation from you."

I TO TAKE PLANT IMPRESSIONS Two Methods That Result In Pictures Which plosely Resemble Good Steel Engravings. Here is away to take impressions of plants which will resemble steel engravings. Two of them, in fact; take your choice. The first method is to take half a sheet of fine woven paper and cover its surface with sweet oil; let it stand a moment or two, rub off the superfluous oil and hang it in the air. When it Is fairly dry, move it slowly over the flame of a candle, lamp or gas burner (caution) until it is quits black, lay the plant or leaf on it, place a clean piece of paper on top " and rub equally with the fingers for about half a hlnute; then take up the plant and place it on the paper on which it is desired to leave an impression. Cover it with a piece of blotting paper and rub as before. The engraving-like impression will then appear. By the second method, burn a common cork until it is reduced to a powder, add a teaspoonful of olive oil and mix into a thick paste. Next paint the under side of the leaf with a camel’s hair brush, lay the leaf carefully, painted side down, upon a piece of clean paper, press it in a book under a strong and even weight for about a quarter of an hour and remove the leaf carefully from the paper. As before, the impression will appear thereon. Take Your Choice. “Don’t you think. Dr. Fourthly." said his literary parishioner, “that the larger, fuller intellectual life of the present day, with its freedom from the baseless fears and superstitions that have kept the human soul in bondage through the centuries, has been a potent agency in bringing about the demonstrated and well es-, tablished increase in the average duration of human life?’’ “O. yes, to be'sure,” said the Rev. I Dr. Fourthly: “and then people take . better care of their teeth nowadays than they used to, you know."
