Never Saw the Dying Weep.
Kansas City Journal.
"I have stood by the bedside of hun
dreds of dying people," said an old
physician at Topeka, "and I have yet
to see a dying person shed a tear. No
matter what the grief of the bystanders j
may be, the stricken person will show
no signs of everpowerine emotion. I
have seen a circle of agonized children
around a dying mother—a mother who
in health would have been touched to
the quick by signs of grief in a child
yet she reposed as calm and unemo
tional as though she had been made of
stone. There is some strange and in
explicable psychological change which
accompanies the act of dissolution. It
is well known to all physicians that
pain disappears as the end approaches.
And nature seems to have arranged it
so that mental peace shall also attend
our last lingering moments."
(Jold in Manila Bay.
A remarkable contract entered into
with the Philippine government by con
i tractors at Manila to raise the ten ships
sunk by Dewey in Manila Bay has
t suggested here that the contractors and
others believe there is treasure on board
} these hulks. A lot of money was found
lon the vessels of Cervera's squadron.
The Navy department is advised that
the authorities in the Philippines have
iiccepted the bid of the Philippine
j Engineering and Constructing com
| pany to do this work. The wrecks are
to be raised and removed within one
year from the dato of signing the con
tract, which will be June 2.
The Compauy has deposited the sum
j of SIO,OOO as a guarantee that the eon
! tractors will receive no payment from
1 the government, their profits being de
j rived from the junk raised,
| The company has had an expert diver
I and wrecker for some time, and he has
! made a close examination of the wrecks
j and their value. This is ajbig under-
I taking,and will involve the expeudi
| tnre of several hundreds of thousands
I of dollars.
There was four bidders, a Japanese
company, the Philippine Transporta
tion and Construction company, and
a firm at Cavite, and the Philippine
Construction and Engineering Com
pany.
Mother Always Keeps It Handy.
".My mother suffered a long time from
distressing pains and general ill health
due primarily to indigestion," says L \V.
Spalding, Verona, Mo. "Two years ago
I got her to try Kodol. She grew better
at once and now, at the age of seventy-six,
eats anything she wants, remarking, that
she fears no bad affects as she has her
bottle of Kodol handy." Don't waste
time doctoring symptoms. Go after the
cause. 11 your stomach is sound your
health will be good. Kodnl rests the
stomach and strengthens the body by
digesting your food, it is nature's own
tonic, it. ('. Dodson.

The Liars Club.
The Sinnamahoning liars club visited
Emporium last Monday, prepared to
meet all comers. The following talent
represented that honorable body: Pap
Blodget, J. V. Hanscom, John Logue,
Alex De Shetler, Chas Peasley, Jr.,
Geo. Gore and Abe Jones. W. L.
Thomas got wind of their arrival and '
chased the Emporium club out of town.
Even Justice on the dome of the court
house threw up her hands as the train
pulled into the depot. John Hogan
hid behind an empty beer keg. As
they could find no talent in Emporium
that day they proceeded to amuse
themselves rolling ten pius and at J
various other sports. Pap and De !
Shetler had a game of ten pins, in
which Pap came out on top by a large
majority the score being: Pap 105 to
De Shetler's four. The boys all return
ed home sober, something very un
usual FIDE.
Dalrymple has threw up the sponge j
since pap told the cow story and has
refused to take any part in the meet- !
ings of the club.

Whence Coinci ElectrleKff
At a time when electricity Is rapidly
transforming the face of the globe,
when it lias already in groat measure
annihilated distance and bids fair to
abolish darkness for us. It is curious to
notice how completely ignorant "the
plain man" remains as to the later de
velopments of electrical theory. Some
recent correspondence has led me to
think that a vague notion that electric
ity is a fluid which in some mysterious
way flows through a telegraph wire
like water through it pipe is about as
far as he has got. and if we add to this
some knowledge of what lie calls "elec
tric shocks" we should probably ex
haust his ideas oil the subject. Yet
this is not to be wondered at. Even
the most instructed physicists win do
nothing but guess as to what electric
ity is. and the only point on which
they agree is as to what it is not.
| There is, in fact, a perfect consensus
"112 opinion among seientitic writers
that it is not a fluid —i.e., it continuous
stream of ponderable matter, as is a
liquid or a gas—and that it is not a
form of energy, as is heat. Outside
| this limit the scientific imagination is
! at liberty to roam where it listeth, and,
although it has used this liberty to a
1 considerable extent, no definite result
| has followed up to the present time.—

We find the following anecdotes In a
! Naples paper: "At the postoineo yes
| terday, amid the large crowd gathered
| around the window, was a young Eng
lish lady, handsome, well dressed and
j accompanied by her maid. The young
lady had just purchased some stamps
and was about to affix them to it nuin-
J her of letters which she held in her
j hand. Delicately tearing off a stamp,
I she said to her maid, 'Pull (sie| out
your tongue.' And the maid, with Eng
lish impassivity, thrust forth her
tongue, while the mistress passed over
it a postage stamp, which she subse
quently stuck on a letter. She went
through the entire package of letters,
and for each one the obedient waiting
maid thrust out her tongue for the
mistress to moisten the stamp. Curi
ous manners these English people
ha ve."
Horace (ireeley's Scrawl.
It is said that the printers on the
Tribune once "put up a job" on the
only compositor in the office who couid
read Greeley's writing. They made a
rooster walk over a newly inked form,
and then over ten sheets of copy-paper.
The foreman wrote over it in
Greelye's well-known scrawl, "The
Plain Duty of Congress," and put it on
old man I.awton's hook,
The old man picked it up, growled a
little, remarked that they had to shove
the stufT on the old man aa usual, ad
justed his spectacles, and began sticking
type.
The other printers watched him for a
few minutes, but beyond a muttered
growl or two he gave no sign. Lawton
went on setting type until about half
way through the copy
Then he was stuck.
He took the copy over to the foreman,
and asked.—
"Jack, what is that word?"
"I don't know," replied the foreman;
"you know I never could read that
stuff"
Lawton took the sheet down to
Greeley and pointed out to him a par
ticularly awful scrawl of the rooste's
foot, asking what that word was.
Greeley looked at it a moment and
replied with a frown:—
"Unconstitutional, of course."
Lawton went back to the composing
room and finished his task with the ut
most coolness.
The old man never knew how the
copy was produced.
