Throw away conceit's wild dream
Climb onto the wagon.

What the use o' laggln'?
Hustle up and git your place
Climb onto the wagon.

Fiery steeds a-naggiu',
Put a padlock on yer Hp
Climb onto the wagon.

Holdin' back 'n' draggin'

Andrew Carnegie in a recent
speech to young men in New
York said he would advise any
young man not to fall in love ex
cept with a woman from twenty
to thirty years older than him
self. Do not train boys to learning
by force or harshness; but direct
them to it by what amuses their
minds, so that you may be better
able to discover with accuracy
the peculiar bent of the genius of
each.
Water transportation would ap
pear to be the least dangerous
among all means employed for
that purpose. During the last
year 000,000,000 passengers were
carried on steam vessels within
the jurisdiction of the United
States, out of which number 200
lost their lives, and in this con
nection it is gratifying to know
'that only 44 were passengers;the
other 102 being members of the
crews. This would indicate that
crews realize that the safety of
the passenger is their firstchargo.
Recent experiments show that
all classes of foods may be com
pletely digested by a preparation
called Kodol Dyspepsia Cure,
which absolutely digests what
you eat. As it is the only combi
nation of all the natural digest
ants ever devised the demand for
it has become enormous. It has
never failed to cure the very
worst cases of indigestion and it
always gives instant relief.

Arithmetic. !
I
TO MULTIPLY NL'MlJKKH OK TWO j
niUITS HY 11.
Separate tho digits and place
the sum of the twocligits between.
Thus, 11x22 242, the 4 being
the sum of 2 and 2.
11x44 434.
This will interest the little ones
very much and prove quite a help
in waking them up on a dull day.
More thau three figures may
be multiplied by 11 iu tho same
way. Multiply 2oo324 by 11.
Process: Write the 4 for the
first figure of tho product; add
the 4 aud 2 0 for the second;
add the 2 and 2 a for tho third;
the 3 and 5, for the 4th; the 5 and
3, for the 5th; the 3 and 2, for the
Oth; and write the last figure or 2
for the 7th, and you have 2jS"04.
If in adding, the sum is more
than 9, write the unit's digit and
carry the ten's to the next sum.
Example: 384x11. Write the 4,
then 4 plus (3 12. Write the 2
and carry the 1, 8 plus 3 11 and
the 1 to carry is 12. Write the 2
and carry the 1 to tho 3 which
makes 4; hence you have 4224.
The class can thus readily write
the products of 11 by auy num
ber to 100 and when a little older
can use this knowledge to good
advautage in more advanced work.
Rules for Shooting in Kentucky.
The following on a card is

Niggers may be shot at any
time. Hunters iu search of this

j Experiment With an Orange.
! Peel an orange by culling the
rind through the center and re- j
in. wing it in tho shape of hollow
half spheres. In tin? 1 ml torn of
ouo of these, pierce two holes
side by side, and then place one
half iu a goblet, the concave side
down.
The diameter of theglass should
be a little smaller than that of
the orange peel, so as to hold
the latter iu position half way
down the sides of the glass.
Pour some red wine iuto the
orange peel; it will run through
tho holes. Let it just reach the
level where it touches the bottom
of the orange peel.
Now pour water into the glass
until it is almost full, and watch
the result. You will see a thin
red film rising through one of
the holes to the level to the wat
er, while tho water which is heavier
than the wine decends through
the other hole to the bottom of
the glass.
In a short time instead of hav
ing the wine below and the water
above the orange skin, the con
ditions are reversed, both liquids
havingcompletely changed places.
Two goose quills may be placed
in the holes, one going downward
aud one upward, but they are not
indispensible to the success of
the experiment.

E. B. Munday, a lawyer of Hen
rietta, Tex:, once fooled a grave
digger". He snys: "My brother
was very low with malarial fever
aud jaundice. I persuaded him
to try Electric Bitters,aud he was
soon much better, but continued
their use until he was wholly cur
ed. I am sure Electric Bitters
saved his life. " This remedy ex
pels malaria, kills disease germs
and purities the blood; aids diges

Did it to Scare Them.
Bessie Baker, daughter of Oli
ver Baker, Hagerstown, told her
girl friends she was going to
commit suicide and then painted
her lips with carbolic acid to
make her mother believe she
drank the stuff. As a result of
her "joke," her lips nnd tongue
were badly blistered aud burned
by the acid aud she has uow
changed her mind about ending
her life. It was first reported
that she drank some of the car
bolic acid, but this is denied.
A powerful engine cannot be
run with a weak" boiler, and we
can't keep up the strain of an ac
tive life with a weak stomach;
neither can we stop the human
machine to make repairs. If the
stomach cannot digest enough
food to keep the body stroug.such
a preparation as Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure should be used. It digests
what you eat aud it simply can't
help but do you good. Trout's

The bill introduced in the leg
islature providing for the pay
ment of bounties on scalps seems
to meet with popular favor. The
skin of any of the animals alone
would not compensate for hunt
ing them but when the bounty is i
added to it it does. Thus de-1
structive animals are uot permit
ted to multiply aud the farmer is
saved much anuoyance as well as
expense.
The red-headed girl continues
to come to the front. It was a
red-headed American stenogra
pher who received 177 proposals
of marriage at tho Paris exposi
tion, and now a New York busi
ness man who advertised for a
stenographer aud some girl
clerks, a!! with red hair, says he
prefers that kind because they
are brighter than other girls.
Aud there doesn't seem to be any
intention of a joke in his remark,

If ever there were a timo when

Reminisccnses of Hancock.
From The Slur.
Hancock is situated on the
National Turnpike, one hundred
miles from Baltimore and thirty
nine miles from Cumberland.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
traverses the opjHisito or West
Virgiuia bank of tho Potomac,
and a bridge afford means of
communication between railway
station and tho town. Hancock
is one of tho oldest towns iu tho
State aud was named after the
first settler whom history does
not show was especially distin
guished in any other direction.
Hancock was incorporated at
an early date, but after a number
of years tho charter was per
mitted to expire. John Donovan
was among tho earliest settlers
aud kept a publ ic house iu addi
tion to conducting a farm. He
owned an island in the Potomac
immediately south of tho town
and lived in a frame house now
owned and occupied by JohuIIix
on at tho intersection of Wason
aud Main streets. His tavern
was immediately adjoining his
house. Tho Barton ' Central
Hotel is probably the oldest house
iu Hancock. Among tho earlier
residents of the town Jacob
Ilouck, Druggist; John Johnston
an old farmer and merchant who
was an old settler; Rev. Joseph
Powell, who died there Aug. 28,
1804, aged 70; Leonard Shafer,
merchant; James Saunders, tav

In 1790 Samuel McFarraukept
store at Hancock. Col. Haynes,
of Kentucky, formerly lived (be
fore 1792) nearly adjoining Han
cock, where ho had a splendid
mansion aud several hundred
acres of land. Ho removed
thence to Kentucky with a large
number of tho other settlers from
this section of the State.
Mr. Donovan, in September
1793, advertised his property and

Prior to the nineteenth century
the citizeus of Hancocktown were

Fatlicr .Time's Own Clock.
"The transmitting clock at the
Naval Observatory, Washington,
is the absolute monarch of Amer
ican time-keepers, ""writes Evan
der Mclver Sweet in the Febru
ary Ladies' Homo Journal. "Ev
ery day iu the year except Sun
day, by oue pcnduluin-stroko it
speaks directly and instanta
neously to every city and consid
erable towu betweon the peaks
of the Rockies and the pines of
Maine, saying to them that on the
seventy-fifth meridian it is no.w
high noon to the fraction of a sec
ond. A duplicate mechanism,
stationed at tho Branch Naval
Observatory in Mare Island, per
forms a similar service for the
people of the Pacific slope. And
by this one clock at tho National
capital (together with its dupli
cate on the Pacific), is set nearly
every time piece in the United
States and Cuba, most of those in
Moxico aud many on the border
of Canada. A number of clocks
from three to three thousand
iu nearly every city and large
town are wired together into a
local family, and bv means of a
switch-key at the telegraph of
fice, are put into direct contact
with the parent clock at tho Na

stant the electric touch is given
from Washington every clock in
the circuit whether it bo at Bos

begins a new day in perfect ac
cord with its mechanical deity."
