That we are chiefly blest,

Should know the bliss of rest.

—The human organization is beyond
the ken of man. The physician of today
knows more of the parts of the human
body than did the physician of a thous
and years ago, but the secret of life is
as much of a mystery now as it was
then. Some years ago we remember of
reading an account of a Western miner,
whose head was injured by a fall, and
who began life anew, with a new name
his past being a blank to him—until
some tweuty years years later another
accident brought back the scenes of his
youth and left the intervening years a
blank And now Allegheny has a case
of a man hurt in the side by a -ailroad
wreck seventeen years ago, who has
been in business, has married and rais
ed a family since, and who to his wife
and all others seemed sane and rational;
and yet who has suddenly lost all recol
lection of the persons and events of the
past seventeen years, and whose mind
has gone back to where it left off seven
teen years ago. In this case the man
retained the same name, and as his sore
side became well as completely as his
mind changed, the loss of memory can
reasonably be attributed to the bodily
hurt. The doctors call such cases
"Auinesia." 1h 'y don't occur often

Butler Pa.
Dear Sirs: It takes 3000 gallons of paint
for the two big hotels at Coney Island—
I Manhattan and Oriental. They are
painted once in three vears with Devoe
lead and zinc.
Why BO often? Three reasons: (1) sea
air cuts paint; (2) sand in the wind cuts
paint; (8) hotels, especially pleasure
hotels, want freshness and color as much
as protection. Once in three years is
often enough and not too often to paint
a hotel on a windy sand beach.
How long do you think lead and oil
would last there? One year. Is there
anything for you in this?
Yours truly.

All Oil Man a Bankrupt.
Amos Steelsmith, formerly of Butler,
iiled a petition in Bankruptcy at Par
kersburg W. Va., Monday.
Some years airo Steelsmith purchased
the property of the Pittsburg Refining
company, at Pittsburg. The conduct
of his business was entrusted to his em
ployea, while he continued to operate for
oil. He became financially involved,
and in attempting to save himself in
dorsed negotiable paper in large sums.
Recently creditors met with Mr. Steel
smith at Pittsburg and it was agreed to
allow 1H months in which to pay one
third the indetbedness and 36 months
for the balance. „
Mr. Steelsmith went to St. Marys, W.
Va , to obtain the signature of the First
National bank of that town to the paper.
He was met by the Sheriff with a writ
the bank having brought suit on its
claim against Steelsmith instead of
signing the extension agreement. The
bank at St. Marys will endeavor to set
aside conveyances made by Steelsmith
of leases in Pleasants county, nearly a
year ago.
Steelsinith's debts, outside of indorse
ments on papers of the Pittsburg Refin
ing company, he says, amount to less
than 60 per cent, of the value of his
property, his total assets being listed at
If9o,ooo. —Pitts. Times.
