Tlie bashful lover who cannot mus- . tcr up courage to put the momentous ques'ion to tne lady he adores need now no longer fall back upon the less romantic resource of declaring bi love in a delicatcl loux. A certain jeweler has tuovided him with a means whereby he may still avail himselt of the older and in finitely more dramatic method of a personal proposal. -The means by which this is effected, without the over being compelled to screw him self up to the ordeal of uttering a lew apparently commonplace words, is the presentation of an article of jewel ry which at first sight appears to be an innocent Marguerite datsv in white enamel upon gold. By ?.ctuat- ng an adroitly-hidden Rprinc in the calyx, however, the single blossom ex pands into a double one. and upon the newly-revealed petals is written in the tiniest script the all mementous question which timid lovers often fear to titter. Mechanical ingenuity will now have to provide a substitute for he maiden s answer, and so the eligi le young woman will require to have on hand a number ol floral emblems from which she may choose her ans wer. If favorable to the suitor, it is suggested that 'kiss-me-quick" might be presented with due maidenly coy ness, whilst the forget-me-not might be utilized to suggest a sisterly, but not matrimonial, affection, and a love- n-a nust naturally would be consider ed appropriate when further inquiries as to the ardent wooer's worldly pros pects are desired. George III. Pullman's Will. Daughters and Wife Get tlio Bulk of tho Proporty. The will of the late George M. Pull man, tiie palace car iiU'nate was admitted to probate at Chicago on Thursday.

If some men were to lose their reputation they would be lucky. The only really happy animal is the goat. He can eat anything. Children cry for the moon and when they grow up they want the earth. The scientific study of man is the most difficult of all branches of knowl edge. A person is always startled when he hears himself called old for the first time. Controversy equalizes tools and wise men in the same way, and the fools know it. Little minds rejoice over the errors of men of genius as the owl rejoices at an eclipse. Even a man doesn't like to have the preacher call when the house is all topsy-turvy. People get wisdom by experience. A man never wakes up his second baby to see it laugh. TryGrain-OI Try Grain-0 !

Professor Hillioat, a scientist of British Columbia, who has been living (or some time in Indian villages in the interior, now claims to have dis covered positive proof that the Pacific coast Indians are of Malay-Polynesian origin. French authorities say that the in tensity of the electric light used on men-of-war has caused eye complaints among the sailors, some of which have led to complete blindness. Gray and blue eyes are more likely to be affect ed than brown eyes. The eye trou bles are due not only to the intensity of the light, but also, it is said by some, to the action of the ultra violet rays. It is asserted by a correspondent of the Gardener's Chronicle that wasps not only devour ripe fruits, such as apricots, grapes and pears, but that they extend their ravages to rosebuds and blown roses. The blossoms and buds covering two flourishing rose bushes belonging to him were destroy ed by wasps, in spite of the battle which he waged with the insects for the preservation of his flowers. A Calcutta physician who was at tacked by a swarm of bees, says Popu lar Science Xews, was stung on the hand, head, face and neck, no fewer than 150 stings being afterwark taken from his neck. Fortunately he had some ipecacuanha powder with him, which he immediately had made into a paste and smeared over the head, tace and neck. I he effect was most marked, preventing to a large extent the swelling and pain which invariably follow the bee s sting, Statistics tending to prove that the average duration of man's life has been increased through modern im proveinents in medicine and hygiene are always interesting.

Susplc- Walter Goodwin, who is in Wells boro jail under sentence of death, still shows abundant nerve. He appears quite unconcerned about his fate and talks freely with his keeper on the subject. A few days ago he began to specu late upon the date of his execution. He said that if the governor did not fix the date very soon, he didn't be lieve that he would do so until next spring. Then Goodwin again stoutly denied that he killed his wife. "Why," said he, "I know the people are against me and believe that I am guilty. I would confess the crime now if I had anything to confess. There is nothing for me to make now by keeping my mouth shut. But I suppose I might as well be hanged as any one else." He went on to say that some one certainly murdered Eflie and that that person ought to be hanged. He talked to his keeper so much upon this subject that he has more than half convinced him that there was another person connected with the foul crime who was perhaps the principal actor on that fateful Friday night. Goodwin still manipulates his dirty pack of cards more or less, but he gives some time to reading the Bible, and he has been heard to say that if is a pretty good book. He has found time, however, to devour a pile of old novels in the jail, and to finger his banjo, which was last week. brought to him Here's a Fisli Story. It Indicates That tho Prize Liar Has Tak en Up Residence in Grconsburg. In the vicinity of Livermore and in the Conemaugh river there has been known to exist a great fish. Many people have seen the monster, and its size has been estimated at various lengths and weights. The drouth settled the dispute. The creat Conemaugh, with its tons of bass and pike and the giant fish, be gan to dry up ten days ago, and with in that time thousands of people gathered along the banks in hupe of detecting the big fish. The lucky lot fell to a little fellow named Davis1, who, it is said, has not slept for a week because he wantsd that fish, and he captured it, too. It was a pike weighing thirty-five pounds and was five feet two inches long. Mr. Dixon, who told ths story of the great find here does not believe there is another of its kind in the country. The people now want a rain, for all interest in fish has been lost, save to protect the few that have been left. OUEI0U8 FA0T3. The greatest ocean depth ever found by measurement was in the Atlantic near Puerto Rico 4651 fathoms. Of the 400,000 Christian hymns that have been written it is said that Charles Wesley alone wrote 6500 and Isaac Watts 400. Within the Antartic circle there has never been found a flowering plant in the Arctic regions there are 702 different species of flowers. It has been estimated that an oak of average size, during the five months it is in leaf every year, sucks from the earth about 123 tons of water. The horse, when grazing, is guided entirely by the nostrils in the choice of proper food, and blind horses are never known to make mistakes in their diet. v Vegetables, suffering physical in jury, are thrown into a state ot lever. Potatoes showed a rise of temperature of a little over two-tenths of a degree at the end of the second day, falling to the end of the fifth day. The Russian photographers have a strange way of punishing those who, having received their photos, do not pay their bills. They hang the pictures of the delinquents upside down at the entrance of their studios. Rats often leave a building before it falls down, because, it is probable that the settling of the beams and bricks causes noises that, inaudible to human beings, may be perfectly so, and very alarming besides, to the roderts. Spanning, an inlet of the Yellow Sea near Sangang, China, is a brid: five and a quarter miles long, with 300 piers of masonry, and having its road way sixty feet above the water. This work is said to have been accomplish ed by Chinese engineers eoo years ago. Hanna Denies the Power of a Protective Tariff to Raise Wages- Ilanna is apostate to the principles of protection. The excuse for protec tion has always been that it raises the workingman's wages, 110 matter what the condition of the labor market may be. L nder protection it was not ncces sary that the surplus labor should be employed oelore wages would rise. Protection would inevitably bring about a rise, hut Mark Hanna says ot the present situation, under full protection : 'It is necessary that business shoult improve so much that the surplus of labor shall be used up before it is pos sible that the general scale of wages shall be advanced. It is the same old principle of supply and demand." This is very significant. It practi cally denies the power of a protective tariff to increase wages. Not until the surplus labor the thousands begging for work in the large cities and tramp ing the country ;s absorbed can wages be expected to rise. No one claims that under protection surplus labor is ever absorbed. If this were so, strikes would succeed under pro tection to a greater extent than under a low tariff. But they do not. Mark Hanna knows, if anybody does, that it is the law ot supply and demand that fixes wages and not 1 high tariff. And he has in an un guarded moment said so, thereby an nouncing himself an apostate to the McKinley doctrine. DIVORCE NOTICE. County of Collmuia, bs.
