While In heaven thou art resting
In that peaceful loving sleep.

Oh, how many mourners were weeping
Aa they gazed upon thy form
Lying there so cold, and sleeping
Never to wake till judgment morn.

A 8TORK'S NEST, ""rpl
Treasures One Yielded In an Alsatian
Town.
- The following details concerning
the structure and contents of a stork's
nest Investigated on the summit of
the Cathedral of Colmar In Upper Al
sace may be of Interest:
The city architect has just delivered
a public lecture there on ''Storks and
Their Ways." He described a stork's
nest which was about 30 years old; It
measured 6 feet across and was 5
feet in height; it weighed sixteen
hundredweight, or over three-quarters
of a ton, and it was such a solid mass
that It had to be broken up by UBlng
a pickax. The nest was made of
twigs of wood and clay and the ma
terials filled twenty-four sacks.
The walls of the nest were found to
contain seventeen, ladles' black stock
ings, five fur caps, the sleeve of a
white silk blouse, three old shoes, a
large piece of leather and four buttons
that bad belonged to a railway port
er's uniform.
A Blind Judge.
The death of Mr. E. F. P. Emmett,
president of the Burnley Incorporated
Law 8ot:lety, one of the two blind so
licitors in England, may recall the
fact that in Ireland a Judge of the
Superior Court discharged his judicial
duties for years when totally blind.
The Hon. Richard Pennefather was
appointed a Baron of the Irlnh Ex
chequer, in 1821, and died in 1859
while still retaining his judicial of
fice. He was fdr the last five years
of his life wholly blind, and on Febru
ary 15, 1856, in the discussion in the
House of Commons of a motion of Sir
John Shelley's moving for a return of
the dates of call to the bar of the
various Irish Judges, their appoint
ments as Judges abd the number of
occasions on which they were absent
from circuit, Mr. Baron Pennefather's
retention of his seat on the bench,
notwithstanding the " deprivation of
his sight, was a matter of stricture.

Clgafwttss Oust Cigars.
The cigar business in the British
tales has declined largely In lets
years, owing to the Increasing UsU
tor cigarette smoking.
Self-Mad.
A large majority of the good and
respecUcl women In this world have
succeeded In being so without the -pittance
of chaperons. .
HELEN, A POPULAR NAME.
That Name Out of Every Sixteen At
Srollh College.
Nine persons out of ten, if ask
ed which of the names for wo
men had found most general
adoption, would answer "Mary."
This would have been correct In
the past. It is not the case today
if the Smith college registration
affords a test. Helen is the name
of one Smith undergraduate in
every 15, an interesting revival of
the historic ratio. The complete
tabulation shows the comparative
use of the different spelling.
"Lillian" occurs nine time to two
"Lilians' in spite of the exam
ple of Tennyson, El'zabeth is
spelled 47 times with a "z" and
twice with an "s." Kathenne's
spelled "ar" 25 'times and "er"
12 times, while the old form be
ginning with "C" is found nine
times more. Fashions change
quite as rapidly in the names
which fond parents select for
their infants as in' anything else
in the world.
TOOK ALL HIS MONEY.
Often all a man earns goes to
doctors or for medicines, to cure
a stomach, liver, or Kidney trou

would quickly cure at slight cost.

A Farmer and His Hogs.
The New York World contain
ed the following special from Sa
lem, New Jersey: A farmer
brought two hogs to a local butch
er and offered them for sale. A
price was quickly agreed on and
the farmer said he would sell,
but wanted the bams and should
ers. To this the butcker was
willing, and the weight had been
taken the desired parts of the
hogs were cut off and banded to
the farmer, who asked for the
balance coming to him. After
figuring a moment the butcher
replied, "You owe me $2.85."
And the farmer had to pay it.
The butcher had bought the hogs
at wholesale price and charged
the ! farmer retail rates for the
parts reserved. In effect the
farmer had made the butcher a
present of two hogs and then
paid him $2 85 for certain parts
of them.
Special Interest to Farmers.
The most destructive forces of
nature that we have to deal with
are Thunder and Lightning. Ac
cording to statistics at hand the
frequency of lightning strikes
varies somewhat with the charac
ter of the land, the nature of the
roofing material used, theabsence
of the old time forests, and use
of the buildings, all of which in
fluence the liability of a strike
and fire. As shown by statistics,
it may be truly asserted that the
risk in the country is five times
greater than in the city. There
is but one method known to sci
ence whereby we may guard
against loss from this destruc
tive element, that is to provide a
path over which the condensed
electricity of a cloud may find its
way into the earth without injury
to life or property. Such a path
mav be termed a Lightning Con
ductor and which may be con
structed of Iron, Steel, Copper
and like metals of sufficient size
and surface to safely carry off
the average bolt of lightning. If
the Conductors are of metal and
have sharp points they give off
"brushes" of electricity which
neutralize the stress above them
and prevent a lightning stroke.
The function of a lightning Con
ductor is two fold: first that of
conducting the charge to the
earth? second, the prevention of a
destructive discharge by . silent
neutralization of tho cloud elec
trification. All barns and ex
posed buildings should be pro
tected by Lightning Conductors.
Stamp clerks in post offices it
appears may aid in preventing
the spread of disease by deliver
ing the stamps they sell in the
right scanner. Physicians and
the Board of Health of New York
have complained that by pushing
stamps across the counter with
the adhesive side down, many
disease germs adhere to them
which are taken up by the tongue
when the mucilage is moistened
to affix the stamp to a letter, and
thus the germs are taken direct
ly into tlie system.

MANN DOUBLE-BIT AXE FOR 6 5 CENTS.
What do you think of that ? We havejust bought four
dozen Robert Mann axes, that we can sell you at that price.
The way we happened to get tnem was this: The men at the
factory told their employers that rather than to be laid off in
the midst of winter, they would work two weeks at the wages
formerly received for one. This Is a little hard on the fac
tory hands, but It saves you money if you want an axe.
Another article that we have a great bargain is
HORSE BLANKETS
We have sold more this season than ever. Why ? Because
we never had a better line.
We have the 6-A. They are all full size even the 65
