“You always seem ho jolly ; don’t
you ever borrow trouble?” ‘‘No; the
interest is too high.”
A girl is never satisfied until the
right man comes along and says the
right thing at the right time.
A Boston spinster has written a no
vel which she culls ‘‘Paradise.” It
contuins many more male than fe
mulo characters.
A California puper says that bad
water ki Is a* many people as bad
whiskey. Maybe it does, out we don’t
have to buy it at fifty cents a pint.
The Legislature is r.ot likely to
make very stringent efforts to regu-
Jato the ‘free pass evil” while they
carry one in their pockets, lliero is
no use in overdoing the thing no how.
Tuko of! your hat to the man who
says ti> the boys and the hired men,
“YVe will tulk down here in the stable
just as we do up in the sittingroom.”
That man knows whore he is and
What he is doing.
A Now York lawyer who has mar
ried 150 couples in the past year is
planning to bring them together in a
reunion. Sixty babies are also cordi
diallv and urgently invited to attend.
Important business.
The statisticians have discovered
that every live minutes a baby is
born in New York. Two hundred bar
rels of beer are drunk ovary live min
utes in Chicago, and a divorce is
granted every five minutes in
Falls.
About one man \a ten really makes
things. The other nine live oil him.
Of the nine, one operates on him, or
tells him bow to get out of obeying
the law, or teaches him how to save
hiß soul; three govern him, but five
Bell him things he doesn't want.
The passage of the prohibition bill
by the present legislature comfutes
that charge made by Sam Jones, that
“the legislature couldn’t pass a|bar
toom much less a prohibition bi I.'
■When the people want a thing, and
are reauy font they usually get it.

Tis a trifle risky.
r- - -
Boy’s! boys! Are you aware of the
dreadful risks youruu in fooling with
Bharp-teethed pretty girls? In a lec
ture at Middletown, Conn., Tuesday
Sight, Prof. W. D. Millar, of the I'ni
veraity of Berliu announced solemnly
that a bite of apretty girl would often
bring a quicker und more terrible
death than the bite of a serpent.
Professor Miller,who has made a spec
ial study of the bacteria of the mouth
said that only a short time ago he
experimented on a beautiful girl is
Germany and found that an arrow
dipped in saliva from her mouth
would send Its victim to a death more
terrible than one dipped in the venom
of the most deadly snake. What
risks we men have been taking
Hakes us shiver even now.

Don’t Misunderstand Us.
An undue satisfaction seems to
have been derived by certain parties
from an editorial statement made in
the Jacksonian last week. Said state
ment was to the effect that The Jack
sonian had lost business by its policy
in inaugurating the reform campaign.
This statement is true; we have lost
the business of some business men in
Jackson. But if we bad known that
our evil wishers would take such a sol
acing comfort from such a statement
we would have gone further and said
t lat where we had lost one dollar’s
worth of business we had secured ten
in its place—where we have lost the
business of one man we have gained
two worth a great del! more to us.
We have also lost some subscribers,
but where we have lost one subscriber
we hsve added fifty to our books, and
they are coming faster now than eve r .
The people are just beginning to real
ize that then is something in the
fight we are making, and that if we
succeed (wliicn wo will) it means an
end toringrule in Jackson.
One extreme fol=*
lows the other.
Reforms are good things and refoi m
movements are all right when kept
within the bounds of reason, but
there Is not the shadow of a doubt
that the reform movement that is
sweeping over the country now is be
ing carried to an extremity, and it
more conservatism is not brought to
bear it is likely to work an injury
to the business interests of the coun
try. YY r e believe that the bar rooms
ought to be wiped off the face of the
earth, now and forever, and we are in
favor of any disfranchisement meas
ure that will do the work, but we
are not sure that so much railroad
legislation will not, if persevered in,
border on persecution.
It is all well and necessary to con
trol the rate and mileage charges but
it should be done in moderation. If
our solona would confine their efforts
to an equitable reduction of freight
rates, and leave the passenger rates
alone thoie is no doubt that better
results would be obtained. It
follows as“,t matter of fact that every
reduction in the earnings of the roads
is followed by a cut in salaries of the
hard worked employes of the roads
who risk their lives ever,' day for the
safety of those who ride.
We presume that about the next
thing wo hear will be a
commission to fix the rate of interest
that the hanks shall charge or the
per cent that a merchant shall re ilize
on the sale of his goods. And when
you sift the matter down its about
tit for tat.
Wo predict that in five years there
wont be reform sentiment enough in
this country to excommuncate a
deacon for getting drunk.
Harvard Then a College of Children.
In 1(585, when elected president of
Harvard, the Rev. Increase Mather re
fused to resign the pastorate of the
North church In Boston for the sake of
“forty or fifty children.” Therefore he
used to ride back and forth from Bos
ton to Cambridge, charging to the col
lege the cost of shoeing and baiting his
horse and mending his saddle. Many
of these students ware but twelve or
thirteen years old.—“lndividual Train
ing In Oar College*,” by Clarence F.
Birdseye.
Naming the Baby.
They were choosing a name for the
new baby.
“I think Esmeralda Is too sweet”
said one pt the infant’s aunts.
“Alfreds is better and more uncom
mon," said another.
“How would Alvina do?" asked a
third.
"Hardly.” said the fond father. “You
scorn to lie getting away from the idea
that this is a baby and hot anew kind
of cigar.”—London Graphic,
The Epitaph of Mary Lyon.
In the grounds of Mount Holyoke
seminary, overlooking the beautiful
valley through which the Connecticut
flows seaward, is a monument to Mary
I.yon, the Massachusetts teacber who
founded the college. On it is Inscribed
n sentence of her own, “There is noth
ing in thp universe that I am afraid of
but that I shall not know and do all
mr duty.”.. _ _ ........

The Eyes.
Many persons who think their Bight
perfect have a greater visual power iu
one eye than In the other. With regard
to the respective power of the right
and left eye a well known optician
finds a person occupied in writing all
day has, as a rule, stronger vision iu
the left. Writing with the right hand
and his arm resting on the table, his
left eye is nearer his work and its
vision is more concentrated.

A French Telephone Experience.
The San Francisco Chronicle Is re
sponsible for the following item in re
gard to Nantes, France:
Some years ago there was a private
telephone system which the paternal
government took over. After some
years’ trial the government-has just
received a petition signed by 10 030
persons, each of whom pays at least
SSO a year for telephone service, re
questing that the telephone system he
sold to some private company, because
under a private company they got far
better service, were trented with polite
ness instead of insolence and bad com
plaints attended to instead of being ig
nored.
Naming the Future President.
Some time since anew baby arrived
at a home in this city, and when John
ny, the little five-year-old brother, was
sent on an errand to one of the neigh
bors a few days afterward the good
lady, of course, had to make the usual
remarks about the gladful event •“I
understand, Johnny,” said she, “that
you have a little baby at your house.”
“Yes. ma’am,” was the pleased reply of
Johnny. “He has been there nearly
four days now.” “Well, when he gets
older you must bring him over to see
me,” returned the neighbor lady. “By
the way, has he been named yet?”
"No, ma’am,” answered the youngster,
“but I guess there will be something
doing pretty soon, for when I left fa
ther was looking over the list of presi
dents, mother was going through the
Bible and the nurse was hunting
around in a history of the United
States.”—Scranton Republican.
A Bright Bird.
The cuckoo is as likely to steal its
nest as to make it. but this fact does
uot take from the point of the follow
ing pun. quoted from Short Stories:
A young Englishman being asked at
dinner whether lie would have some
bird’s nest pudding, said, turning to
bis hostess: “Ah. yes. Bird’s nest pud
ding, and what kind of a bird may
have made it?”
“Oh, it was the cook who made it,”
was her proipt reply.
Not Always.
“Remember, my boy.” said Uncle
James as he gave Bobby a coin, “that
If you take care of the pennies the
shillings will take care of themselves.”
Bobby looked a trifle dubious.
“I do take care of the pennies,” he
replied, “but as soon as they get to be
shillings pa takes care of ’em.” —Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

coffin.” - -
