Catechising His Grandpa.
Hartwell Sen.
Uncle Rafe was sitting where
his cabin cast its longest and cool
est shadow's the other day, idly
dozing and dreaming of the happy
days “’fo’ dewah, when de ’pos
sum an’ de coon wuz plentiful an’
fat,” when one of his grandsons, a
lusty jet black fellow of sixteen,
startled him rudely with the quer-
ry ; ;
“Gran’dad, is yer up on Scrip
ter?”
“Eh?—whodat—whut yo’ say?
—up on Scripter? ’Cose I is—1
knows all ’bout de Bible frum
Jinnersis an’ Exodius cla’r tru’ to;
de back uv de book at Revenuela-
tions,—’cose Ise up on Scripter;
an’ looky yer, boy, yo’ better ’gin
to s’arch dera Scripter right in de
days’of yo’yufe, ’fo’de evil days
draw nigh ter ye- an’ yo’ cain’i!”
“Dat’s all right, gran’dad, but
who wnu de father of Zeberdee’s
chill n?”
“Cum yer closer, boy, I didn’t
zackly hear wbut yo’ sed.” .
The boy advanced iu reaching
distance and yelled m the old
man’s ear: “Who wuz de father
of Zeberdee’s chillim?”
“Ev bum—now T un’erstan’,” re
marked the old man, as he caught
the yourg buck suddenly in the
collar and de'tly laid him over his
knee and began to use the flat of
his hand in the most effective man?
ner. “Wanter know who’s cbillun
Zeberdee’s father wux, duz yer?—
I’m gwinter beat dat right inter
yer rdronatermy right hqw; yo’
see—bif!—Zeberdee’s gran’mud-
der by his fus wife—bif! bit!—wuz

fas husban’, bif!—nn’erstan' ’? bif—
which is purty much de same ez
German c’uzin’ ter e- Irish wash-
er’oman!”—bif!—bif!
And as the exasperated old man
let the struggling youth go he con
tinued: “Now yo’ g’won ’way f’um
here wid yer projeckin—en see ef
yo’ cain’t tell dem boys ober yan-
der dat yo’ gran’daddy’s been
ka’fsolin’ yo’ pants, an’ dat I tole
yo, Zeberdee wuz de reg’lar bus-
ban’ of de mudder of Zeberdee’s
chillun’.”
And the old man smiled sardoni
cally as he contentedly sank back
in his chair and calmly resumed
his dozing and dreaming.
Physicians say that cases of ner
vous prostration are less frequent
since low heels have come into
fashion. They allow the whole
weight of the body to rest on the
feet,.remove the tension to which
the muscles are subjected by high
heels, and keep the calf of the leg
in its normal condition.
Harvey’s Wonderful Power.
From The Farmer and Exchange.
A young printer employed by
the Blakely Printing Company is
astonishing bis associates with
some marvelous feats. The accu
racy with which he takes measure
ments -with bis eyes and mind
seems.really supernatural. In us
ing pica measure—a pica is one-
sixth of an Inch—he employs no
guide to aid Mm, but adjusts his
stick, cuts rules and leads the de
sired length by measuring the- siderable wounds on your trees.
Sbon we shall be in a position to
defy fate. Says the Illustrated
American: “A company has been
formed to build tubula steel pas
senger cars which shall not give
way under any shock to which
they may be subjected. The cars
will not telescope in a collision,
and if rolled down an embankment
the passengers will be only
bruised. It is proposed that a
train of such cars shall be practi
cally a continuous steel projectile
which cannot be seriously damaged
in ordinary circumstances.”

When?
When sores break out on your
person, when pimples cover your
face, when you feel weak and de
bilitated, and your.nervous system
feels shattered, when you have
aches and pains, when your appe
tite fails, when ydu are troubled
with dyspepsia, when there is a
general functional derangement
and life hardly seems worth living;
give Dr. Bull’s Sarsaparilla a trial
and you will be delighted at its
pleasing effect; As a general health
restorer and strengthener of the
whole system it is superior to any
other compound. It will not harm
the most delicate invalid and' has
saved thousands from a premature
grave.
space in his mind. In giving, an
exhibition of bis powers yesterday
he took nine pieces of brass rule
and cut them to 6, 7, 8, 9,1.0,11,
12,13,14 and 15 pica ems respect
ively, and on measuring the cut
rules they were found to be the ex
act length. He then cut twelve
pieces to one length without com
paring them. The pieces were
gathered and compared and could
not have been shaved nearer one
length. He tells longer measures
with equal accuracy. A piece of
wood was handed him and he was
asked the length of it. “Two fee.t,
five and three-eighth inches,” was
the quick and absolutely accurate
reply. He was also asked if a cer
tain block was square. “One of
its angles lacks a little of it,” be
answered. The angle referred to
was found to be slightly acute. An
other curious freak of this printer
is that he never carries a watch,
but is a positive regulator at tell
ing the hour. One dark afternoon,
after not having seen a clock all
day, one of the men jestingly ask
ed him the time of day. “Seven
minutes after 3,” was the prompt
reply, and . all the correct watches
in the house testified to his accura
cy. To more fully test his ability
in this direction, his room-mate
awoke him a few nights ago and
put to him the query a3 to the
hour. The reply this time was,
“twenty minutes after two,” which
was correct to a minute. The
young printer dislikes notoriety
and refuses to use his peeMiar gift
publicly for gain. His name is
Joe Harvey.' Since a boy he has
been able to accomplish remarka
ble feats of this kind,

He let them know by return
