HIICHINS. THE ARe^S^ K. J. HAK.nO.I Sc J- • WcDONALII, Editors and Publlilier*. A titered at the J’osloffae at Jackson second class mail matter. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. lacksoii, t.a., November 22 1804. The Bicycle No Good. The bright hopes that have been en tertained by the military men that the bicycle might be an effective adjunct in war time have been dashed by the exhaustive trials made in Germany, France and Austria of bicycle corps. United States Consul Stephen, at Anna berg, has transmitted to the state de partment an article from a military correspondent upon the result of the trials made in Germany, which he says correspond to those obtained in France and Austria. lie says: “We had it on trustworthy authority that the results ot the trials which the various army corps have made with the cyclists by no means come up to the expectations which were formed. The cyclists have been tested in every possible way, and although It Is not forgotten that the cycle is capable of further develop ment and the cyclist of still better training, still this will have little influence on the gen eral result. For military purposes, too, a dis tinction must always be made between the achievements of professional and amateur cracks and the work that can be done by the average soldier.” The correspondent details one or two cases wherein the cyclists were of serv ice as mounted postmen, but says tiiat where the roads were bad they were of no use at ail, and certainly can nevei replace, the mounted orderly. Says he: “An arm of the service which can only be effective employed under special conditions can never rise to be of gen eral importance.” A physician urges, in an exchange, the doing away with the fear that ap pendicitis is caused by a seed or a bit of hard food of any sort becoming lodged in the vermiform appendix. He has performed a number of opera tions and never found anything of the sort as the troubling cause in any one of them. “A small bit of digested matter,” he says, “gets into the little sac, if the neck of it is open far enough to receive it. It may remain there for years and cause no trouble and then again it may bring on appendicitis al most immediately.” He disclaims en tirely any faith in the idea that grape seeds or any other seeds produce the disease, and begs those timorous folks who have almost given up the use of small fruit for fear of appendicitis to banish the notion and enjoy the goods the gods provide without worry. If, as seems to be the case, it is to be considered the correct thing for bride and bridegroom to exchange their first marital kiss at the altar, it would be a wise thing, says the Washington Post, to announce the fact through the papers beforehand, along with the number of attendants, list of presents, etc. That would at least prepare the wedding friends for this very beauti ful observance. At a largely attended wedding last week, when the bride groom, at the conclusion of the cere mony, kissed his bride, from all quar ters of the crowded church came a snicker, which was the more sur prising on account of the well-bred looks of' the gathering. On another occasion the bride herself was taken by surprise and started back in alarm when her newly made husband wished to enter upon his lately acquired privi leges on the spot. Most gycat cities and several small ones in this country have claimants for more or less of their territory. The case against New Orleans is the most famous. There are claimants to con siderable areas of New York, the an cient Symmes purchase has made trouble in Cincinnati, litigation has been threatened over much of the ter ritory occupied by Pittsburgh, and the Springer family, whose name is legion, has long threatened Wilmington, Del. According to one of our consuls American artificial limbs would have a great sale in Germany were there agencies established there by the man ufacturers. The German makers of artificial limbs are less ingenious than their brethren in America, the limbs are heavier, less convenient and not more durable. Oddly Enough, not a single American manufacturer of such things has sought to introduce his goods into Germany. A citizen of Orange, N. J., who for got to take from the pocket of his over coat a memorandum of his losses at the racetrack lately received advice from an unexpected quarter. A burglar who gathered up one thousand dollars’ worth of silverware in his house the other night took the overcoat also, but left the memorandum thus in dorsed: “Don’t play the races; they caused my downfall.” A CheiiAcis county (Wash.) farmer has lately been creating a good deal of interest with a pair of elk which he had tamed and trained to do many things usually done by horses. A few days ago a traveler offered him a good price for his elk, but the farmer refused to part with them. The same night a cougar got into his barn and ate up one of the creatures. One of the queer dishes of far south ern Maryland and Virginia is fried pumpkin. With its rich orange-yellow hue it looks like a small omelette tinctured with tomato. The man who takes it for that is likely to be disap pointed in the taste, though it is a re ally excellent form of the protean pumpkin. CIN the faces of the United States stamps all the government branches are recognized except the judiciary. In the new issue will appear the faces of Marshall and Madison, the famous ex pounders of the constitution. The discovery was made by a bride in Bloomfield, N. J., on her way to the church that she had on dark shoes in stead of white. She insisted on re turning to change them. As she was about to reenter - the vehicle, she fell and sprained her ankle. Before the car riage reached the church, a wheel rolled off and the bridal party had a severe shaking up. Another instance in proof of the time-honored saw “pride goeth before a fall, and many a ‘waterfall.’ ” The skeleton of a man with a rusty pair of handcuffs clasped about the wrists was found in the Creek country of the Indian territory by a deputy sheriff a few days ago. The bones oi the skeleton were broken and strewn about, evidently by wild animals. The grewsome rMic undoubtedly told the story of some prisoner who had escaped from his guards only’ to perish in the woods. In spite of the railway strike, says a western exchange, California has in creased its shipments of fruits ovei last year by 1,050 car loads of green fruit, 950 car loads of canned fruit, 45C car loads of raisins and 150 car loads oi prunes and other dried fruits except raisins. The prices have not been re It is told of a Philadelphia woman recently deceased that in her will, which is now being contested, she made provision that she should be buried in her sealskin sacque. The thought occurs that she may have wanted to prevent its falling into the hands of a successor. Culture is ail right in its way and its proper place in the great west; but business is business. About twenty-five of the rural public schools in Dodge county, Neb., lately closed “onaccount of corn husking.” Sweet potato stories are now going about the eastern shores of Maryland. One farmer raised this year four hun dred and eighty bushels on a half acre of land. A nother shipped to Connecti cut a barrel filled with just sixty-nine potatoes. Another reports a potato weighing four pounds and two ounces, and still another reports one weighing six pounds. * The south contains over 200,000,000 acres of forest land —over one-half of the woodland area of the United States. She has almost every variety, so far as quality is concerned. There are near ly G,OOO sawmills in operation, employ ing over 78,000 hands. The output of the planing mills in 1890 was over $22,- 000,000. The fire in a Boulder county (Col.) coal mine, which has been burning for thirty years, now covers an area of about three hundred acres, and spouts flame, cinders and smoke through nu merous outlets. It has destroyed prop erty worth millions of dollars. A traveler recently returned from Italy says the only item of American news he could find In Italian papers for three months was an announcement that Mr. Edison had fallen from a fifth story window of his own house. Civilization Worse Than Bullets. “The glare and heat of civilization have killed more Indians than have the bullets of the pioneers,” said George H. Williamson, recently from the In dian territory, to the Pomona Prog ress. “The Indian’s blood from a long line of ancestry is tainted with scrofu la, and the ease and comforts of the white man’s life vitalize the scrofulous tendency. To make plain Iwhat mean, I will tell you what I observed at the government school at Lawrence, Kan., a few years ago. The government heated the quarters of the pupils by steam, and in a while the Indians began to die off like sheep from con sumption until the steam pipes were removed. The Indian needs a hardy, tough life on the plains. Under such conditions he thrives and is. healthy, | but just as soon as you confine him to the limits of a warm room pulmonary tuberculosis seizes him and carries him off. That and ease set the scrofula to work in his blood with disastrous ef fects. That’s the reason why the American Indian will soon be a remi niscence—his constitution can’t stand the civilization of the paleface.” In Poor Health means so much more than you imagine—serious and fatal diseases result from trifling ailments neglected.
