this afternoon, the remains being In
terred in Lott cemetery. The ser
vices were conducted by Rev. J. P.
Wardlaw and Rev. R. A. Brown.
AFTER WE ARE GONE.
We have learned a great lesson
when we have learned that the world
can get along very, well without us.
We may be filling a very important
and useful place in the church and in
society, but when we are gone some
one will fill It just as well, and may be
quite a good deal better. We should
ever fill our station to the best of our
abllty, not forgetting that God has giv
en us work to do. But the sun will
rise and set after we ure gone Just as
it does now. Tne tides will .ebb and
flow, and the stars shine Just as
brightly. Men will go about their
work as confidently as though we had
never been. The trains will come In
on schedule time, and the office doors
will be opened at the usual hours.
This may he somewhat humbling to
our pride, but ft should exalt our pur
pose In things that are more endur
ing. It should more frequently turn
the thoughts away to tubllmer things.

THE DUCKING STOOL.
How a ‘Scold’’ u*ed to be Punishsd in
Old England.
It Is Interesting to conjure up g pic
ture of a "ducking” ns practiced In
England at the end of too eighteenth
century.
When the “scold” had been properly
tried aud convicted, she was escorted
by a crowd of her neighbors—in fact,
by the whole village—to the nearest
pond, and the greener anJ slimier the
liond the better. A long plank was
produced, nt one end of which was
tho ducking stool, and In this the
screaming, struggling victim was se
curely pinioned.
Tho chair end of tho plank *was then
pushed far over the edge of the pond,
and at a signal it was tilted deep Into
the green ooze until the scold was
completely Immersed. _ .
When the dripplug, half drowned
woman was raised to the surface
again tn the Jeers and laughter of the
onlookers It can be Imagined that her
•tongue waged to some purpose. Af
ter a second dose she emerged more
subdued and after a third or fourth
she was as penitent a woman as tho
village contained and wns allowed to
proceed home a sader and wiser wo
man until the next time.—Loudon Tit-

UNSPOKEN WORD8.
What silence we keep, year after
year,
With those most near to us and dear,
We walk beside bach other Jay by

And speak of myrald tilings, and
seldom say
The full, sweet word that lies Just
In our reach
Beneath the comonplace of common
speech.

It seems probable that some sup-
pert ers of Mr. Brown in the General
Assembly will move that the gover
nor’s report of the causes for his re
moval of Mr. Brown be laid on the
table. This is the proper course for
the matter to take. Brown has got
all he wants and the people ere sat

HE HAS TO LAUGH.
Life is a funny proposition to Jos
eph Barosky. 2G years old but he Is
laughing constantly and hilariously,
and Cincinnati hospital physicians say
he will die unless he stops.
Barosky says he can’t. Cigarettes
are to blame. He had a job
brewery he says, and when he lost it
he found solace tn cigarrettes. Other
Ruslans tn the tenement at 1138 Gest
street Cincinnati, where Barosky lived
until recently, say Barosky rolled
more than 100 smokes a day. Cigar
ettes wrecked his nerves and he went
to the hospital. He left there because
objection was made to his smoking,
and returned to hi a countrymen in
the West end.
Aboat a week ago the young man
started laughing. He laughed wher
he ate, be laughed when he talked
and he laughed In his sleep. In a
week he lost top pounds In weight and
other Russians, becoming alarmed;
took him to the .Cincinnati Hospital.
He is registered aa being afflicted
.%Rh "laughing hysteria," which the
doctors say Is a nervous disease. Ba
rosky is undergoing treatment, and
the doctors believe if cigarettes are
denied him he may recover. He still
calls for and smokes cigarettes, know
ing 'his doom.

ed guilt by not sending for me.
You wanted me out so I am out but
unless you send me $50 check or money
by Friday at 5 I am going to tell Lin
and also your people. I don't care
what follows. I won’t hear it alone.
If Lin were to Insult your wife you
would kill him if you could and it
would be right. As you have threat
ened my job to me and would get aw
fully mad if I refused bo now send me
the money so I can get away from
here or I will make a clean breast aud
you may know something will follow.
You refused to read my cl.u*r letter
but don't this one. Mar; Mv.hba.

65,000 ELEPHANT8 KILLEO.
Last Year For Their Ivory...Some
' Tusks Weigh 200 Pounds.
65,000 thousand elephants wefe kill
ed in Africa last year and more than
a million and a half pounds of ivory
jvere taken from them and shipped
off to Europe, writes Frank G. Carpen
ter. Of this fully one third came from
Zanzibar, another third came from
Portuguese, East and West Africa and
a large part of the balance was from
the valley of Congo.
Capo Colony furnished a hundred
thousand pounds. Egypt 30u,000 and
i large part came from the Niger ter
ritorics and Lagos.
African ivory (brings the highest
prices hi the markets. It is superior
lo any other in size of tusks. I have
seen some which are nine feet long
and there nrc some which treigii as
much aa 209 pounds each. The aver
age weight of tusk Is much less than
this and one of a hundred pounds is
quite valuable.
In India the average tusk does not
weigh 50 pounds, but that of the Af
rican elephant is much heavier. Many
of the tusks are broken when they are
brought Into the market. The ele
