A Fulsome Compliment.
During Sir. Cleveland's tour of tbe
south shortly alter his marriage Mrs.
Cleveland and he were driving one day
through the streets of one of the larger
towns escorted by two of its citizens.
Some one threw a bunch of violets to
Mrs. Cleveland, and Mr. Cleveland
Lent forward to catch it, remarking as
lie presented it,"l wonder why no one
gives nie liowers."
One of the gentlemen present gal
lantly replied, "We think you have won
,the fairest flower in all the land."
"Ah, yes," returned the president;
"but, you see, I can't keep her in wa
ter!"
"It is uot necessary since you keep
her In such excellent spirits," was the
reply.
Here Mrs. Cleveland interposed, say
ing, "I am afraid you are guilty of flat
tery," whereupon catne the reply:
"No, madam. Flattery is fulsome
compliment, and in this Instance no
compliment could be either too frnnk
er too fulsome."
The charm of this response lies in
the last and fourth from the last
words, Mrs. Cleveland's maiden name
being Frances Folsom.
A Queer Chinese Notion.
One of the beliefs which the Chinese
are slowly unlearning is that foreign
ers use the eyes and hearts of China
men in compounding rare and costly
drugs which are valuable aids in
magic. Medicine and magic have for
apes gone hand in hand in China, just
as tliev once did In Europe. Ignorant
Chinamen therefore readily believe
such tales. The use of eyes of Chinese
by foreigners in metallurgy is describ
ed In a work called "A Deathblow
to Corrupt Practices," published in
1870. According to this, when white
Christians had charge of a funeral
they drove all the relatives and friends
from the house. Both eyeballs were
then removed from the corpse, the ori
fices being filled with plaster. This
was called "sealing the eyes for the
western journey." By compounding
these eyes with a hundred pounds of
Chinese lead, this veracious chronicle
continues, eight pounds of silver could
be extracted from It. The sight or
gans of any other people were useless
for this purpose.
Marine Rubber Chewers.
The sailor, taking a fine, new rubber
band from the stationery display, be
gan to chew it with vigorous enjoy
ment.
"What are you up to there?" snarled
the druggist.
"Just rubber chewin'," said the sail
or. "It's a habit with all us navy fel
lers. Keeps off gun headache.
"Of course you. a landlubber, don't
know nothin' about it. But let me tell
you, mate, when a sixteen inch gun
goes off aboard ship the jar shatters
winders, splits planks and brings your
lower teeth up against your uppers
like a straight left from old John L.
"The result is a gun headache—such
a headache! But if you chew rubber
in firing time it eases off the shock and
you don't suffer none. I been chewin'
it steady ever since Manila Bay."
"Rubber chewing—what a nasty
habit," said the druggist.
"Rag cbewin's worse," was the sail
or's reply.—New Orleans Times-Demo

Close Quarters For Washington.
At the time, now some years ago,
when subscriptions were being solicit
ed for the erection of a statue in New
York city to President Washington a
gentleman called to secure a contribu
tion from an old resident who, al
though wealthy, was a little "near."
On learning the object of the visit the
rich man exclaimed:
"Washington! Washington! Why,
Washington does not need a statue! I
keep him enshrined in my heart!"
In vain were the visitor's solicita
tions, and he was lutfurally indignant
at the parsimony of the millionaire.
"Well, Mr. 1t.," he remarked quietly
as he rose to leave, "all I can say is
that if the Father of Ills Country is
in the position in which you describe
him lie is in a tight place!"
The Title "King."
The sovereign title of king has gen
erally been supposed to be derived
from the old British word "gyning,"
signifying "wise." But the Hebrew
term "rosch" is doubtless the root of
all the present titles denoting kingly
power, including the Punic "resch,"
the Scythian "reix," the Latin "rex,"
the Spanish "rtfy" and the French
"roi." The German nations styled their
monarch according to their different
dialects—"konig," "kuning," "konlng,"
"king."

Railroad News.
A record achievement in the move
ment of a heavy freight trains has been
accomplished on the Pennsylvania
Railroad between Altoona and Enola,
near Harrisburg, Pa. To determine
what could be done in actual road ser
vice, as the result of some of the com
pany's recent expenditures for im
provements, 85 steel gondola cars load
ed with a total 4,451 tons of coal were
on Monday, June 14, attached to loco
motive No. 1113, a freight engine of the
most improved type.
The total weight of the train was
6,151 tons, and its length from the
pilot of the locomotive to the rear plat
form of the cabin car was 3,000 feet—
nearly three-fiths of a mile. The run
of approximately 124 miles was made
in 7 hoars and 15 minutes, the average
speed of the train being about 17 miles
per hour.
The Company had made a number of
road tests previously, but the perform
ance of the 14th surpassed all others.
The heaviest trains moved between
Altoona and Enola, prior to this record

These runs were made possible by
the fact that the Company has now re
duced all grades and compensated all
curves on the "Middle Division" on its
main line betweenNewYork and Pitts
burg, so that the ruling grade there is
on .3 of one per cent, or less than 17
feet to the mile. The last step in this
scheme of improvements was taken
lately in the opening to service of the
four tracks involving radical revisions
of grade and removal of curvature for
the 11 miles between Mt. Union and
Byde.
Formerly, it was necessary to have a
"pusher," or extra locomotive, help
long freight trains over the heavy
grades. Now, it is possible for single
locomotives unaided to accomplish
these record results.
The Ramblers.
Last Thursday evening there was a
happy gathering at the home of \V. S.
Sterner, on Broad street, at which time
the young ladies of the Ramblers were
entertained by Messrs. Max Balcom
Claude Rentz and Lee Felt. The girls
were very industrious and brought
their sewing, it being the regular even
ing for the meeting of the Girls Sewing
Society and the boys were certainly
kept busy hunting thimbles and
threading needles. When the young
ladies were fatigued with their sewing
and laughing, a light collation was
served by the young men, after which
the girls proceeded to the kitchen and
washed the dishes. At mid-night the
hosts escorted their fair guests to
their homes. Those present were
Misses Marion Rentz, Emma Ellis,
Edith Heilman, Anna Welch, Bessie
McQuay, Ethel Day and Alma Hertig.
Of Interest to Farmers and Mechanics
Farmers and mechanics frequently
meet with slight accidents and injuries
which cause them much annoyance and
loss'of time. A cut or bruise may be
cured in about one-third the time usually
required by applying Chamberlain's Lin
iment as soon as the injury i 6 received.
The liniment is also valuable for sprains,
soreness of the muscles and rheumatic
pains. There is no danger of blood
poisoning resulting from an injury when
Chamberlain's Liniment is applied be
fore the parts become inflamed and
swollen. For Hale at Taggart's.
