Said a Kentucky traveling salesman in speaking of Kentucky feuds and a marriage that had been reported as ending one a few years since: “I saw a marriage three weeks ago in a North Carolina crossroads village that ended what I understand has been a bloody feud between two old families. I was told by a customer of ours that one man on each side had been killed during the trouble which came up over a division fence. But a truce was patched up last spring, and since that time the son of one of the feud leaders and the daughter of another have been ‘a-keeping’ company with each other.’ This friendship ripened into a love match, which culminated in the wedding. The participants in the feuds that had lived to enjoy the mountain scenery were at the marriage. Capitol has done in this instance that which bloody midnight raids, assassinations, pitched battles, the slug-stored shotgun. and the razor-edged bowie knife have failed to do.”—Louisville Post. Not So Much. She had never seen a game of baseball, but she has a friend who is one of the most enthusiastic “fans” amongst Washington’s fair sex, and had often heard her discourse learnedly on base hits, errors, thefts by umpires, hard luck and “rooters;” and although she did not quite comprehend all these things, she thought she had a very fair idea of what a rooter is. Some years ago she studied a “system of memorizing,” and so had accustomed herself to associating a fact or an event with some material object. In the case of the rooter she had evidently adopted a similar procedure, for a few evenings ago, when she saw her sister catch something that had been tossed her, she exclaimed with the air of one who knows what she is talking about: “May is a good catcher, but I don’t think she is much of a grunter.”—Washington Star. A Country Without a Railroad. To railroad builders out of work, Alaska offers a great, if not an inviting field. With a territory ten times as large as New York state, it has not a mile of steam road, or any other kind of road. Thousands of citizens of the United States are ready to emigrate thither long enough to pick up what gold they want, and yet our government has not built a single railway for their accommodation. The only transportation line into the gold fields is owned by selfish capitalists—non residents at that —who expect to make a profit out of the indigent gold seeker.— Railway Age. Restores Faded Writing. The city of Breslau recently consulted the chemists of the university respecting some old manuscript of the sixteenth century, which camp and old age had made quite illegible in some parts. A remedy was very easily found. It was ascertained that gall nut ink had been used, as had been expected. When painted with one percent of alcoholic solution of tannic acid, the characters became at once fairly discernible. Ammonium sulfide brought them out again in full distinctness. This is the well-known cure, which once more has proved reliable.—N. Y. Sun. His Pertinent Question. He had taken his punishment like a little man, and for some time afterward had been buried in thought. “Mamma,” he said, finally. “Well, Willie?” “Do you really spank me because you love me so much?” “That’s the reason I punish you, Willie.” “And don’t you love papa at all?”—Chicago Post. Culinary Item. A New York woman found her newly married daughter in tears. Upon asking her what was the matter, the distressed wife replied that the cook had left and that she herself would have to prepare her husband’s dinner. “Well, I wouldn’t cry about it. He may pull through, after all,” was the comforting reply of her mother. —N. Y. World. A Creditable Average. “Yes, we’re quite proud of our little town. It’s a nice, moral place, and averages up better than Most of them. Why, we've got one church to every sixteen saloons — it's a fact.” “Indeed? How many churches have you?” “Just one.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Anxoux for the Reward. “Papa, I wish you’d whip me.” “Whip you, my son! Why should I whip you?” “Because, when you whip me, mama gives me some jam.” —Tit-Bits. The Reason. Smith —You say you are not obstinate, but why do you always insist on having your own way? Jones—Because it's always better than other people’s. —Truth. Of a Konffh T The roadbed of a local trolley line in a well-known packing house center in Kansas is not in the best condition. A milkman, watching the oscillations of a car, concluded to utilize the vibrations for operating churns. The result is that several owners of cars in the vicinity set their churns on the front end of a car, and the round trip separates the butter from the butter milk. The motorman receives some of the latter in payment for the mechanical agitation imparted to the cream. It is well known to physicians that the constant swaying, jolting, and jarring motion of electric cars produces ill effects upon persons constantly subjected to it, sometimes producing partial paralysis in the lower limbs, as in the case of a brakeman recently. He was conveyed to a hospital, and, after all other methods of treatment had failed, electrical massage was employed. It proved to be a specific for the ailment. The man has returned to work. —Chicago Inter Ocean. Bicycle Tubing of Paper. English manufacturers are investigating the merits of thin manila paper for the manufacture of bicycle tubing. The process of manufacture is ingenious, the paper being wound upon a mandrel and coated with glue by means of a spray, thus insuring the absolute joining of the paper, which is made solid by means of great pressure. When the tube has been constructed, some 40 layers of paper being required for this purpose, it is subjected to great pressure from the inside after the mandrel has been removed and the tube placed in a very strong mold. This pressure is derived from a hydraulic machine and the outer layers of paper are acted upon by means of a rolling machine, which hardens them, and the tubes are then polished in a lathe, and stained to the desired color, when they are varnished and ready for use. —Philadelphia Record. Famed for After Dinner Speakers. Twenty years ago, the best dinner table talkers in England were thought to be Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, Queen's Counselor Judah P. Benjamin, Mr. Gladstone, Cardinal Manning, Lord Rosebery, and Dean Stanley. Twenty years before that Macaulay and Carlyle headed the list. In Dickens’ time, he ranked as the best after-dinner speaker, and Sala enjoyed that distinction for a few years before his death. There is no rather a dearth of talkers and speakers of the first luster in that country, though both are likely to appear at any time. —Chicago Chronicle. Loat Arts of Egypt Analyses of weapons and tools, dating from very ancient times in Egypt, have convinced M. Berthelot, the French chemist, that the old Egyptians used pure copper in the manufacture of such objects. They displayed much ingenuity in manipulating that metal. A chisel was made by folding thin strips of copper over one another and then forging them into a solid blade; while hollow needles were formed from copper-leaf by a method very similar to that which is employed at the present day in making heliacal tubing for bicycles. —Youth’s Companion. Insanitary Seaside Resorts. Dr. John S. Fulton, secretary of the Maryland state board of health, recently read a paper on “Sanitation of Seaside Resorts,” in which he said: “There is scarcely a notable resort from Ocean City to Bar Harbor which has escaped a costly reckoning with outraged nature. The conditions at most places are favorable to the entrance and spread of communicable diseases.” Coughing. I'nfortunately, the initial. Miss Nellie I. Taylor and Paul D. Quiggs were engaged, and Nellie was out of town for a few days. They exchanged the following telegrams and thoughtlessly signed them by their initials only: "Dear Nellie: Come home to me. "Dear Paul: I am coming, my love. "Dear Paul: I am coming, my love." —N. Y. Journal. He Wanted More Speed. A Washington correspondent tells of a western congressman whom he once heard declaiming in a Washington hotel about the new navy: "We must have speed in our new ships," he said. "If I had my way about it, we would never build another cruiser that could sail less than 20 fathoms an hour."—Golden Days. Nothing Dense About Him. "What, no telephone?" asked one of the regular callers at the drug store. "Why did you have it taken out?" "Most of the people in the neighborhood got to using it to order drugs from other stores. I guess I can grasp a business idea once in awhile."—Detroit Free Press. From a Surgical Standpoint. "How is your Uncle Reub's blood poisoning getting on?" "In great shape.

A Hit of Fancy Work for the Lonely Winter Evening. The bicycle lamp is a joy every evening if it is kept clean, but if neglected it becomes difficult to manage. Knowing this, the clever friend of the bicycle girl has devised a lamp-covering, which is a bit of fancy work for her odd moments, and when completed is very useful. It can be made of fine rubber cloth purchased by the half yard, but it is almost as good if fashioned of denim or sailcloth. The rubber keeps out water and dew, which is a strong point in its favor. The accompanying diagram shows exactly how to make a bicycle lamp cover, and in cutting it out it is only necessary to enlarge the pattern a little. Follow the directions closely, shirring where indicated, and sewing upon the lines, and you will have a very nice protection for your lantern. Upon the front a monogram can be embroidered or the club name worked. “Do you consider it a sign of death if a dog howls at night?” “Yes.” If the dog belongs to a neighbor,” —Louisville Courier-Journal.
