Butler is spread oyer too much and too uneven ground for the fireman to know where to start for promptly; particularly on a foggy night. —Physical training is engaging the attention of young women everywhere, and the New York Sun says the following is one of the latest and best exercises used by young women who aspire to a Delsarte training: Fill a large basin with water and placo obliquely in it, so that the ower edge shall rest in the bottom of the basin and the upper one lean against the opposite side, a corrugated piece of wood covered with *ino. Then take some sort of cloth, souse in water and rub briskly on the board. A little soap will lessen the friction and render the exercise mare gentle. —On Friday last Mr. il ingel received a letter, which had been mailed at Myoma, Wednesday evening, enclosing the key for the lock of tha tin box, and also another letter of advice.

Sentinel: "Dur ing the school days parents should be very careful of how they speak of teachers before children. If there is any fault to be found with a teacher by parents, it should be talked of in private and not in the hearing of the children. They are wonderful imi "tators, and if they hear anything of the kind, they very naturally will do the same many times, injuring both the teacher and the pupils most. Teachers, as a rule are competent, or they would not be employed. They have a great responsibility on their shoulders, and patents should do all in their power to help them, instead of to hinder. The school year has just begun, and it would be well to weigh these sub jects carefully, co-operate with the teach ers, visit the schools, and encourage both teachers and pupils in their work. Tho result will bo good work and better pro gress. —The season is now hero when tho trac tion engine will be on our roads day and night and it is well to remind owners and others of tho law governing them on the roads. "Every engine propolled by steam must have a man at least 300 yards ahead of the engine to warn persons riding or driving upon any public road of tho fact that the engine is coming, and also to 'assist' in the 'management' of any horse or horses that may require his assistance to control. It also requires the engine to run "as far as practicable to tho side of the road and to remain stationary until said horse or horses have passed to a safe distance, m the meantime making as little noiso as possible with the steam. Tho penalty of failing to comply with tho law is a tine of ton dollars and costs. TUo law further requires tho man in charge of the engine to have a printed copy postod on his engine under fino of ten dollars. — Vindicator. —A youug Butler man before he left for the World's Fair went to a bank and got some change, including a number of silver quartern. When he got back he went to the bank and said .to the teller, "That change you gave me was all good with the exception of one silver quarter. I could uot puss it at all in Chicago, and whenever I offered it I was looked upon with suspicion." The teller took the quarter, applied the usual tests and then said, "That quarter's good; the only thing wrong is that it has lost its ring," and he showed a faint crack in the edge, scarcely discernable under the milling. Asked to explain how a coin loses its ring, the teller said: A coin loses its ring frcrn being imperfectly stamped. That is, the die does not strike it squarely. As a con sequence the edge splits, but you cannot see the crack because of the milling. It may ring all right for a time, when thrown down, but by and by the crack begins to assert itself, to show that it is thero, so to speak, and the coin loses its ring and many refuse to take it, Relieving it to be counter fit. We often got them, both iu gold and silver." This is a uew idea. Hereafter do not condemn a coin as counterfeit until you are sure of it. USE DANA'S S AHS APAEi IL LA, ITS "THE KIND THAT CUKES."

Y. with the intention of riding to Pitts burg, via Erie, Sharon, New Castle and Beaver Falls; distance 242 miles, in com petition for prizes offered by the Pittsburg I'rvsn. A man named Bannister of Youngs town, O. took tho lead from tho start, and Paul Cronenwett of Butler, was among the first frcm the start. Nineteen of tho rid ers registered at Erie between 10 p. m. and midnight; sixteen at New Castle towards noon of noxt day, where several gavo up; and but eight finished the race. Bannis ter made his way up Fifth Ave., Pittsbnrg, and registered at 3:03.30 p. in.; Williams came in 50 minutes behind him and Paul Crouenwott at 5:13.50. Bannister made the distance, 242 miles, in a little less than 24 hours of almost continuous riding, and Cronenwett ia a little more than 25 hours. Cronenwett lost his way in the dark, be tween Buffalo and "Erie, and also broke his wheel, and had to push it for 13 imiles to the next town, where he got another one, and then got a better ono at Erie. By these accidents he lost over ar. hours time, and got behind all of the leaders, but ho made the best time of all between Girard and Pittsburg, and passed all those remain ing in the race excepting Bannister and Williams, who were too far ahead of him.

He jumped up and went on. Cronenwett arrivedjia I'ittsburg in bet ter condition physically than any of the others, slept well that night, came home next day, and was on duty an Mail Carrier Monday morning.

The man was a well dressed, respectable looking fellow, and when he went into the bar to get a drink and had with him several companions, all jovial and hearty. When each had irri gated his interior with his favorite liquid tho man threw out a ten dollar bill in pay ment to the bar tender, who laid it on tho shelf back of the bar and carefully count ed out the change which he handed tho man. Then the party went out into tho wide, wide world. An hour afterwards, when the bar tender was closing up shop, he counted his cash. He was $9 short.

To briefly mention some of the prominent feature would occupy consider able space. Suffice it that three rings, two elevated stages a huge racing track, and another stage 400 feet long are required to show the varied entertainment comprising this year's show. There are mauageries, hippodromes, triple circus, horse fair, mys tifying illusions, and other features, and in addition the great historical spectacle of Colambns and the Discovery ol America, the later alone representing 1,200 charac ters . all ol whom are on view at one time. >"o other amusement enterprise carries so many people and has »uch complete ar rangements for their keeping. Of course hundreds of people will bo there to see the canvas go up, and get a free glimpse of the elephant as he marches with a majestic tread from the railwar tracks to the grounds. | The;e are many reasons why the exhibi : bition this year is better than any other that has preceded it, as the menageiie is almost entirely new and boasts every strange and curious zoological Ispecimen, from the gawky camel to the only genuine zebra that has ever basked beneath the | stars and stripes. There is also in the col lection the largest Bengal tiger evei seen ■n America, and he has been from his na tive jungle less than seven months. The cage of lions has three male specimens, from the face of one of which Sir Alexan der Pope made his painting, which is now ( on exhibition in the National Gallery of * Art in London. Of the circus performance there is also mach to be said, and its strongest claim is probably that the performers are all chain- * pions. Among the artists that have been brought over are the most dashing and ac- « complished equestriennes ever seen in this J country. \ The briliiunt harmony of colors and ar tistic groupings in "Columbus" w ill cause t the recur to the minds of the thousauds s who witness the show pleasant memories of the greatest triumph ot modern theatri- i eal representations. When it is known that I mre Kiralfy has trained the ballet it ' will be known that it is better done than any other manager in the country conld have done it There are crowds "of well trained girls and men, presenting every t\-pe of beauty, who perform graceful evo lutions in dances. These are costumes lhat have the look of the 15th century about them and which, high authorities have said, are duplicates of those worn when Columbus was plcadiug before Fer dinand and Isabella. The Barnum & Bailey Show has come to be one of Amerca's permanent institutions, and merits more than the smiling reference called out by the ordinary circus. It is worthy of serious thought—not only for itself, but more when one considers what exceptional ability a man must possess who controls the entire army of men and women who give the exhibition. Signs of the Times. The leaves in the forests are beginning to turn yeilow and brown, and to drop off one by one, presaging the approach of Au tumn and bringing with it many climatic changes. It needs a very strong const itu tion to withstand the sudden shocks of cold and moisture. Unfortunately there are very few so gifted, the majority of the human race need to have their natures strengthened and stimulated, and there is no better remedical agent than a pure rye whisky. Klein's Silver Age Rye has stoo l the severest tests and has been found to be absolutely perfect, being recommend ed and prescribed by the highest medical authorities. It is for sale by dealers gen erally, at $1.50 per full quart, Duquesne Kye at $1.25 per qnart, and Bear Creek at SI,OO per quart are highly recommend ed.
