Once in a while a man gets the
starch so thoroughly taken out of hint
that it’s no use trying. A few days ago
a prairie schooner passed eastward

"doing hack to my wife’s folks.”
A female passenger on an Illinois
railroad was kissed by the conductor,
and on suing the company for damages

by the hrakeiiiau, and was awarded $210.
Si the law decides that a woman kissed

It seems Unit the prttclieo of scalp

Hit! custom still prevails aiming the wild

remarks that “thu Naga tribes use the
sealping-knife with a ferocity tlmt is
only equaled by the North American
Imtians, and tlio scalps are carefully pre
served as evidences of tliolr prowess and
vengeance over their enemies. On tho
death of their chief all the scalps taken
by hint during his warlike carter are
burned with the remains.”
—“ Wo know the public is down on

taken. In the first place, we put in a
iooln water- only a bit, to make up for
shrinkage. It gees to the big dealers,
and they ain’t a bit kecrftil when they
gits to pouring in water. They soils it
to the grocers, and they put in chalk
with one hand and water with the oilier,
and they are thinking of polities and
got in too much. The servant gal goes
alter milk lor the family, drinks a third
of it, and site puts in water to make up
