The following-isclippcd from Croke Jame's "Curiosities of Law and Lawyers" "If a man were to give to another an "orange, ho would merely say, 'I give you this orange,' but when the trans action is intrusted to the hands of a lawyer to put it in writing, he adops this form: I, A. B., here by give, grant, and convey to you all and singular, my estate and interest, right, title, claim and advantage of and in the said or ange, together with all its rind, skin, juice, pulp, and pips, and all right and advantage therein, with full power to bite, cut, suck and otherwise eat the same, or give the same away as fully and effectually as I, the said A. B., am now entitled to bite, cut, and suck, or otherwise eat the same orange, or give the same away, with or without its rind, skin, juice, pulp, and pips, anything herein before or hereinbefore or hereinafter or in any other deeds instrument or instruments, of what nature or kind soever to the contrary in anywise notwithstand ing." Nobody can complain that ad mission to either branch of the legal profession is too easy. A table of the results of the last four preliminations at the Law Institution shows that two-fifths of the candidated failed. The re sults at the final examination were not much better. At the examinations in April, indeed,the percentage of failures was nearly fifty; as against seventy-five can didates who passed, there were thirty-seven who failed. The percentage of failures at the bar finarexamination is even greater. "Whether this increased severity will produce a better race of law yersjs a question on which it is pardonable to entertain some doubt Comparing the result with the past, we apprehend that any attempt to establish the su periority of the present genera tion would not be unattended by difficulty. Law Journal (Lou don. The game of golf was put down by an act of parliament in Scot land in 1841 as a nuisance. The fines were inflicted on people who were found guilty of playing the game, for it interfered with the practice of archery, as men pre fered wielding the club to pulling the bow. A Kansas man claims to have perfected an apparatus that will bring rain while you wait, but it is doubtful if it can equal the prayer process in that State, wrere a minister who prayed for rain brought on a cloudburst that almost washed his church from its foundation stones. Divorce records for the court year just closed at Cleveland in dicate that one of every five mar riages there is so complete a fail ure as to lead to the extreme re sort. The number of marriage licenses issued in that city dur ing the year ended June 30 last was 3,235, and the number of di vorce petitions filed in the same time was 646. Mr. Samuel Muck, while cross ing the Potomac river at the ce ment mills, near Sharpsburg found four guns which belonged, to the Philadelphia Brigade per haps better known aa the "Corn Exchange." They can be seen at the residence of Mr. Joseph Blundon at the cement mill. Some of the guns were loaded and cocked just ready to fire, cap and all in place. At this point is where the Corn Exchange attempted to cross the river in pursuit of Lee's army and where it met heavy . loss. Hancock Star. How to (ii nw Thin. . It is all vory well to laugh at die absurdity of sighing over growing old, but thoro aro vory few women who are sufficiently philosophical not to bo a little chagrined at the advance of years showing itself plainly in face or or fiiguro. There would seem to be two distinct types of American women those who grow stout as they grow older, and those who grow thin. It is all very well to say that the face looks better when it is plump than when it is thin, but every pound of additional avoirdupois certain, ly adds to a woman's age in ap pearance from thirty-five to fifty There are many physical reasons which induce added flesh, and wo aro told that tho figure settles as one grows older, but it is this very settling that all women are anxious to avoid, and there is really no necessity for it what ever. Steady banting always has the desire result, in so far as the re ducing of flesh is concerned; but there are other results far from satisfactory which are apt to ac company it, and very often ill health and irritable nerves are the outcome of trying to grow thin. The avoiding of starchy food is a simple matter and by not eating potatoes and bread very often an astonishing diff erene in weight is soon perceived. Cer tain salts, which, however, should never be taken except under the orders of one's physician, will sometimes start a disposition to lose flesh, which if followed with giving up potatoes and bread will work marvelous re sults. Indolence, one of the greatest factors in increasing weight, lies within the power of fashion now to take exercise that there is no excuse for being lazy. It is im possible for some women to walk a great deal, but a certain amount of regular exercise will benefit even the most delicate. Sitting invariably produces fat, and fat just where one does not want it about the stomach and hips. When one begins to lose flesh and this can be ascertained by begin weighed every week a lit tle massage will be found a great help. The messeuse, if she un nerstand her business, will soon be able to tell where the super-, fluous flesh is, and will direct her energies to the particular place or places. Of course mas sage is an expensive luxury, but it is not a thing that needs to be continued, and a few hours will often work a wondrous change. For instance, one hour three times a week for a fortnight has been known to reduce the size of the waist half an inch. Standing erect, with the hands pressed well down on the hips, and then, with the hands still kept on the hips, bending the body forward, backward and sideways several times, twice a day, will also work off accumulated fat about the hips and stomach. But this ex ercise must ba consicientiously persevered in. Harper's Bazar. C. A. Grissinger, of this.place, in company with his father, visit ed the latter's brother Andrew, aged 76, at McConnellsburg, the beginning of this week. For some thirteen months past the latter gentleman has been a suf ferer from paralysis, his entire left side being affected, so that he has been unable to move or help himself. On Friday last during the temporary absence of his wife, the invalid fell from a lounge on which he had been placed and the shock of the fall must have partially restored action in that portion of his body affected by tho paralysis, as af ter a number of spasmodic ef forts he managed to rise to his feet and dragging his affected limb after him moved some ten feet or more across tho room to an outside door, where he suc ceeded in attracting his wife's at tention, and since which time he has made marked improvement. Another singular result of the fall is evidenced in his eyesight, which has become exceedingly strong, he being able now to read fine print with the naked eye, a task exceedingly difficult heretofore with the aid of strong glasses. Semi. Weekly News. The marble keeps merely a cold and sad memory of a man who else would be forgotten. No man who needs a monument ever ought to have one. Tricks to Rest the Feet. A woman's feet, in nine cases out of ten, nre a grout source of worriniont and unrest tohor in tho summer time, says the San Francisco Examiner. Women who aro vain of their feet have a notion that the only way to keep them little and grace ful is to use them little. There never was a greater mistake. They miss a world of enjoyment and healthful exercise bocause they don't know. There aro women wrhose trade is to teach all theso women tho trick of foot im provement. One of them tells the whole story in this sentence: "The trouble with woman's feet is that sho does not rest them properly." Theso feet that there's so much worry about spread when there's no necessity for their spreading. Even society women, who do not work, ride in carriages and are coddled like dolls altogether, suffer from enlargement of the feet. At 20 they wear twos, at 30 they wear threes and at 40 fours. Their feet do not grow, and they won't wear any x more "sensible" shoes than they onco did, but they have rested their feet wrong. They haven't sup ported them in time of trouble and they have let the muscles take wrong directions false ones. They are punished. When a woman has tramped all day in heeled shoes she is tired across the ball of the foot and the instep is sore to the touch. If the foot is placed in hot water the muscles of the instop appear to soften. If the feet are then put flat upon tho ground, the muscles actually do fall, and the trim, round foot is just so much lower and broader than it was. When the instep of the foot is tired, the wearer should strip the feet and clothe them in thin stock ings. Upon her feet she should place a slipper with a totally dif ferent heel from the ones just worn higher or lower as the case may be. She should then lie down and rest the tired part of the foot. If the instep, she can turn upon her face and spread the foot out until the instep is resting upon a pillow for every inch of the breadth. The foot is then at ease. The muscles are rested and strengthened and the foot at the same time preserves its arch. Women who walk much in the summer complain of abroadening of the feet. They struggle, amid aches and unhappiness, against the growing conviction that the shoes are actually getting tight, and the worst of it is they don't get loose again in the fall. But the foot doctor has a remedy for all that. She says: "When the heat of the day is over, and before time to dress for dinner, the visitor at any country resort can slip away to some cooling brook near by and give the feet the 'spring treat ment.' It is what we call the slendering process. 1 "Select a spot along the bank where the water runs fastest. Take off the shoes and stockings, and, dipping each pink tip into the water, allow the cool stream to run over the feet as high as the ankles. Be sure to point the toes a little and move the ankles gent ly in the water to make the fric tion of the water greater. Let the cold stream flow over the tired feet for an hour, hold them in the sun for 15 minutes, dress and go back to your Jooarding place ready to dance all the even ing in the smallest party slippers in your summer wardrobo." BUCK VALLEY. The past week has been very damp and dreary but no rain of any account. Mrs. Daniel Hebner is very sick. We hope she may soon re cover. . Erastus J. Akers of Marguette, Kansas.

The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Deneen was buried at the M. E. church on last Fri day. Wm. Dorrier called among friends in Bedford countySunday evening. The Yomif' Man's Manners. Society nsks little of a young man except to behave well. If he be manly in looks, if ho has good manners, is civil to his eld ers, if he has any little gift of en tertaining any -'parlor tricks" if he scuds a few flowers oc casionally, looks pleasant and is polite, his way will be smooth to success always providing that he is a gentleman. He never joins her on a through fare unless the friendship be an established oneand then only with her permission nor will he stand and converse with her. It is provincial to walk "sand wiched" between two women, to stare, or look after any ono who lias passed. In public conveyance a man does not pay a woman's fare un less he is her escort, except in an emergency, when he must ask if he may. Introductions are rarely made in public places or conveyances. A man precedes a woman when entering a theater or public place. In a church tho lady goes first. He may precede her up a public staircase, but in a private house in ascending and descending he follows. In picture-galleries, elevators in public buildings, hotels and theaters corridors, they being thoroughfares, a man retains his hat. In a hotel he removes it if women are present. If a lady bows to a man in a restaurant he rises slightly from his scat in acknowledgment. When ho is with a party, if a lady with her escort stops to speak to his friends ho rises and remains standing until she passes on. He also rises if a man is introduced to him when with a stag party. If a bachelor show some little hospitiality it advances him much in favor. If he has attractive rooms, or, has anything to show ho may give an afternoon tea or a chating-dish supper. Simplicity is in order. A bach elor's entertainment is usually regarded in the light of a frolic and his efforts indulgently con sidered. A bachelor may live where he likes without loss of social posi tion, if he belong to one good club which he may only use for the address on his card and note paper. October Ladies' Home Journal.

A western wiseacre gives utter ance to this little gob of sapioncy: "You can't ride many miles on a train without seeing some dog chasing the cars in a mad way. Wonder what tho dog would do if it made the catch? The world is full of people whose chase is as foolish as the dog's. Most peo ple chase too big game. The dog that tries to run down a few cars wouldn't think of stretching it self for a rabbit. And the man who has his aim on a million'can't see a dollar around him." Whs Just Common I.yin "The cunning of the Chinese has been very in noli exaggerat ed," said a former sea captain in conversation the other day. "1 will never forget my own exper ience. We had arranged with a prominent Chinese merchant at Hong Kong for a quantity of tea, but at the last minute there was a hitch about tho delivery of the consignment. He told mo it had been temporarily tied up by the officials on account of some mis understanding about the internal taxes. I discovered by accident later on that the lot had been sold over my head to a chance custo mer and the tax story was a mere pretext to gain time for tho sub stitution of an inferior grado. "The tea merchant was a se date, courtly old gentleman, and he had told me of the outrage with perfect calmness, looking mo squarely in the face, without a quiver. It never occurred to me to doubt his word.and but for chance we would have been heavy losers. When I exposed him in dignantly before all his employes and several foreign residents I supposed he would be ashamed and disconcerted. An American of his standing would have been humiliated and crushed beyond measure. I have known men to commit suicide for less disgrace, bnt he never so much as blinked. Ho heard me through blandly, made no comment and began to talk about something else. He had told a lie, was caught, and regarded the episode as closed." A Thousand Tongues Could not express tho rapture of Annie E. Springer, of Philadel phia, when Dr. King's New Dis covery cured her of a hacking cough that for many years had made life a burden.

"You talk about your cold feet I saw a couple the night of Fiz-Ruhlin fight that gave me a cold for a week," said a barkeep er in a La Salle street wet goods house to a Chicago Chronicle man. "Did they give you lung troub le?" put in a customer. "No, but they made me feel like the ice man on a frosty morn ing in Spitzbergen." "That is cold. How did it come about?" "Well, you see we had a trick in here and during the fight got the rounds as they wore pulled off. Early during the game a man drifted in here and took up a position before the ticket. He was seated and had his eyes glu ed to the ticker all tho while. "Whoop!" he yelled as the sixth round was over. "I've won nearly $5,000, and he started for the bar where he counted out his betting tickets. In addition ho had several hundred dollars cash, for which he had been unable to find takers." "What happened then?" the customer asked. "Be bought a glass of butter milk and slipped out." "Is that how you pay your brewery bills, rent, light and in surance?" "Not on tho money of a fellow like that," and tho bartender's countonanco bespoke tho disgust that was within him. Kohhed the (J rave.
