It is rumored all through this

It the twelve days between new
ana old Christmas are signs, as
said, for government of the year,
this one is going to be a pretty
rough one all the way through.
We noticed them carefully and
accordingly there will not be but
two fair months, May and June.
Another old sign which we have
heard says if the wind bio vs from
the north the 14th day of February
there will be no peach crop, but if
it comes from the south there will
be an abundant crop. As said, it
takes a year to find this out.
Many of our people are suffering
with bad colds, which we tear may
terminate in grip.
Madam Rumor says there is to
be soon more weddings in this
vicinity.

ALLATOOXA.
The residence of Mitchel Me-
Micken caught fire from some
cause to the occupants unknown
during a visit of himself and wife
to his father, Mr. William McMick
en's and was so near consumed at
their return, attracted by the glare,
that they saved nothing but what
they had on. All a total loss.
Buddie Martin, youngest son of
the late Capt. Willis and Mrs. Lou
isa Martin, died on Wednesday
evening of last week, and was
buried next day, at Mt. Zion. He
was an excellent young man, and
had suffered a long and wasting
decline. For this reason he had
been compelled to relinquish his
employment in which he was effi
cient and useful in the store at the
ochre works with Mr. Womelsdorf.
He was in the 18th year of his age.
HIS EXTENSIVE WARDROBE.
The Paris morgue is the receiving
house of the bodies of unknown
picked up in the streets, dragged out
of the Seine or found in houses
where they are not recognized, and
here such bodies are left for identifi
cation preceding burial or crema
tion.
Of late a process of preserving the
unclaimed bodies has been adopted,
the preserving agent being cold car
ried up to congelation. Imagine a
large room fitted up at one end with
a series of lockers in tiers one above
the other, with doors in front.
Each locker contains a preserved
human body in a kind of shell,
When the contents of the locker
have to be surveyed, the door is un
locked and the shell drawn out. The
bodies are frozen as hard as metal
and ring like metal when touched.
Hard Work.
While down in Oklahoma not
long ago Senator Beveridge of Indi
ana met Delegate McGuire of that
territory, whom he complimented
on his fine physique. ‘‘Oh, yes; hard
work made me a strong man,” said
McGuire. The Indiana man replied,
with a touch of scorn, “If you had
toiled in a sawmill, as I had to do,
you would have a right to talk of
hard work.” “You never earned
your bread as a section hand and
pumped a handcar, did you? No,
r.or you never did any steamboating.
More than that, you have not
punched cattle for four or five years,
and, senator, when you have had a
whack at these occupations you will
regard work in a sawmill as a box at
the opera.”
A Policeman's Answer.
Policemen are, as other men,
rather sensitive of allusion to their
failures. Richmond has lately suf
fered at the hands of burglars, and
the burglars are still at large. A
well known minister met a police
man in the street the other day at
Richmond and eon'J not avoid an
allusion to the local tr; ic. “What a
number of burgle to there are
about!” he said. “ >Vhv don’t you
constables arrest them?”
The policeman regarded the min
ister solemnly. “Sir,” he replied,
“there are thousands of people go
ing to perdition every day. \\ by
don’t you ministers stop them ?”
Thomas Hardy's Waistcoats.
Sir Tatton Sykes’ well known ec
centricity in the matter of coats —
he always wears four or five—has its
counterpart in Mr. Thomas Hardy l
habit of invariably wearing two
waistcoats. Indeed in a severe win
ter the famous author has been
known to don as many as four, but
even on the hottest summer day he
sticks to his two, the outside one be
ing generally of the old fashioned
knitted sort. Another habit of his—
though this is not an eccentricity,
but a very lovable trait —is to bicy
cle over to see his mother every Sun
day.
Electricity.
The latest word on electricity is to
the effect that it is a material sub
stance. Its unit, the electron, forms
an infinitesimal part of the atom of
any element, and when split off it
produces a stress in the ether simi
lar to that due to a negatively elec
trified body. The severing of the
electron from its atom is the genera
tion of electricity. The remainder
of the atom acts as a positively
charged body, but it is not certainly
known whether the positive electron
—supposed to be about ten times as
heavy as the negative —really exists.
Rich Wives as Lottery Prizes.
For the Milan exhibition of 1905
an original competition is proposed,
nothing less than a world’s beauty
show, with a first prize of 1,000,000
francs, four prizes of 500,000 francs,
eight of 200,000, twenty of 100,000
and fifty-five of 50,000. To cover
the expenses a lottery w’ould be or
ganized. The lucky winner of the
first prize would take the prize lady
and the million if both, like Barkis,
were “willin’.” If not, they would
halve the “dot” between them. The
other prizes would be dealt with on
the same principle.
Arsenic and Cancer.
Dr. Patrick Manson has recently
shown that Chinese tobacco often
contains appreciable quantities of
arsenic, introduced mainly with the
idea of giving the weed a garlic fla
vor. The belief is gaining ground in
English medical circles that the
presence of arsenic in tobacco and
food products is responsible for the
great increase in the number of
cases of cancer.
Metallically Considered.
The name of Dr. Robertson Nic
oll. the editor of the English Book
man, is so frequently 6een in Eng
lish magazines and weeklies as to
justify a remark which Public Opin
ion credits to a nameless wag.
Said he of the prolific reviewer:
“Speech is silver and silence is
gold, but all criticism appears to be
Hicoll.”
Ibsen’s One Vanity.
Henrik Ibsen, the Norwegian au
thor, loves to keep his hair in disor
der. This is said to l* his one van
ity. lie always carries a little toilet
case containing a looking glass and
a comb, which are attached to the
lining of his gray hat. He will often
remove his hat to look into the mir
ror to see how his hair is lying. If it
is not rough enough to suit his fan
cy, he uses the comb to give it the
requisite tangle.
Hair Splits
“I have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor
for thirty years. It is elegant for
a hair dressing and for keeping the
hair from splitting at the ends ”
J. A. Oruenenfelder, Grantfork, i ii.
Hair-splitting splits
friendships. If the hair
splitting is done on yonr
own head, it loses friends
for you, for every hair of
your head is a friend.
Ayer’s Hair Vigor in
advance will prevent the
splitting. If the splitting
has begun, it will stop it.

* CONDENSED STORIES.
Mr. Nett Appeared Just In Time to
Prevent an Explosion.
When Judge Warren Foster came
back to the bench after his vacation,
he was not aware that Mr. Jerome
had added to his staff a deputy as
sistant of th< mir eof Xott. A case
came up before the court, .a which
Mr. Xott represented the district at
torney’s office. The assistant in the
preceding case was Mr. Krotel.
When the clerk of the court called
the title of the case, Judge Foster
asked:
“Is Mr. Krotel the assistant in
this case ?”
“I think Xott,” replied the clerk.
“But don’t you know whether it is
Mr. Krotel or not ?” asked the court.
“I said I thought Xott,” answered
the clerk.
“But are you not sure?”
“Yes; I am sure it is Xott.”
The judge looked ut the clerk in
amazement.
“Th.cn if you are sure it is not,
what are you talking about? I trust
you are not trying to make sport of
the court.” And Judge Foster’s
gavel beat the bench nervously.
“1 certainly was not, your honor.
1 thought it was Xott. Xow I am
sure it is Xott, for I have just
looked at the papers.”
What might have burst from the
court then can only be-conjectured,
for at the explosive moment Mr.
Xott came forward and explained
the situation to the judge.—Xew

“Four and Twenty.”
In his “Bar, Stage and Platform”
Herman Charles Merivale writes
thus of Thackeray: As we wandered

/ '
DEPOSITED A BBIGHT SIXPENCE IN EVERT
HAND.
through the exhibition of 1862 to
gether we met a school of little girls
in gray, with very wide open eyes
indeed, improving their harmlesb
little minds under their mistress’
guidance in a quaint row of two and
two. Thackeray stopped when he
saw the little maidens, and they
stopped, too, and bobbed. “How
many little girls are there?” he
asked the mistress. “Four and twen
ty, sir.” “Four and twenty little
girls. They must have four and
twenty little sixpences to buy four
and twenty little things with.” And
the procession was stayed till he had
got all the change for himself and
himself deposited a bright sixpence
in every tiny hand.
Beecher’s Suggestive Com nent.
Previous to the dedicatory exer
cises in connection with the opening
of anew church Henry Ward Beech
er, who was to make the principal
address, was made familiar with the
structure.
The pastor informed the great
preacher that the church was com
plete in the minutest detail; that the
debt was not large and he hoped
that the afternoon’s contributions
w'ould reduce the burden consider
ably.
Apparently there was something
wrong with the stained glass win
dow in the rear of the auditorium,
and in response to a query Mr.
Beecher was told that a portion of
glass had fallen out, due to a work
man’s carelessness.
The church was one of those
stuffy little parlorlike arrangements
built for the exclusive few. Evident
ly it did not please the taste of the
great preacher, who was accustomed
to the roominess of his great barn
structure in Brooklyn.
“Rather fortunate,” said Beech
er, commenting on th© broken win
dow. “It will give our prayers a
chance to get out.”
Knew Their Backs.
Senator Mason and “Private” John
Allen of Mississippi met in a Wash
ington cafe. In the course of their
chat the Chicago man asked, “Did
you see the Grand Army parade last
fall, John ?” Allen fought for the
Confederacy all, through the civil
war, but he replied, “Yes; I saw the
parade, and I recognized quite a lot
of the veterans.” “How in thunder
did you recognize these men ?” asked
the senator. “By their backs, Billy;
by their backs. Waiter, Senator Ma
son wants to speak to you.” The
senator laughingly Said something.

(Jet the Host for Your Money.
Did your grocer ever tell you when
you ordered “Clifton" Hour that he
had “something just as good?" Do
you know why he tells you this? It
is because he buys some inferior flour
for less money and is trying to work
this off on you and get a few cents
more profit on it. This is a perfectly
legitimate thing for the grocer to do,
hut you ought to see that you getthe
best value for your money. And’ to
do this insist upon his sending you

The Question of Open Grates and
f. Their Relation to Hygiene.
Discussing the theory of a corre
spondent that leaving open the reg
isters of grates has much to do with
common colds, it is extraordinary to
what a violence of opinion purely
'hygienic questions of this nature
are able to give rise. The particular
view of our correspondent is briefly
this: Registers should never be left
open when no fire is burning, be
cause it will sometimes happen that
the air outside is cooler than that
in the room, and then, instead of
being ventilating shafts, the chim
ney with an open register will act ic
just the opposite way. It will be, he
maintains, a shaft down which cold
air will enter. He would have ail
registers closed except when a fire
is burning and ventilation carried
out by means of doors and windows
only. We believe, in fact, that there
is a good deal of reason in his con
tention, but that he underestimates
the disadvantages of a closed regis
ter and exaggerates the culpability
of an open one. —London Lancet.
Some Effective Lamps.
While at its best the lamp is a
work of art quite superior to any
changes of fickle fancy, still in a
general way fashion plays its part in
the numerous_ designs of lamps and
shades. At present low bowls and
antique effects are in vogue, and the
popularity of green in house fur
nishings has led to the development
of many unique conceptions harmo
nizing with that color.
Some of the choicest productions
are in verd antique, whose soft gray
green blends inimitably with light
colored furnishings. The material
seems to demand ancient forms, and
lamps of the kind often show classic
outlines, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
Copper i3 a favorite medium for
supplying ruddy tints. A rich lamp
has a broad bowl of lacquered cop
per set v-ith rococo jewels resting on
a base of cast metal with handles of
the same. The shade is a globe of
deep crimson glass set with jewels.
A Big Corn Popper.
If vot.:- corn popper is small or
family large, try this: Take two
pieces twelve inches long and two
pieces eighteen inches long of 1 by
4 inch boards, nail together so as to
make a flat box without top or bot
tom. Xow put a bottom of common
screen wire on this box, then a top,
using a sheet of tin fastened with
wire hinge, and last nail on two
pieces for handles, making them
about five feet long, one on each
6ide, with popper fastened near the
middle of handles. To operate build
fire outdoors, let burn to bed oi
coals. Shake popper over fire by one
person to each side, taking end 01
handles in each hand. This will pop
a bushel in short order.
