TOPICS find COMME T. - Mexico now takes by far the larger part of her imported goods from the Unitéd States. THE trunk trust would seem to be le- gitimate prey for the gay baggage smash- er, but then we presume the Berlin Record can attend to its case. It is said upon good authority that the identical cherry tree and hatchet used by Geo. Washington, together with the little lie which he never told, will be on exhi- bition at the World's fair. THE scientific men who talked about the gulf stream setting in more toward the Atlantic coast, and our winters be- coming in consequence milder, are not saying as much as they were. THE latest Ingersollism—‘‘A politician schemes and works in every way to make people do something for him. A states «man wishes to do something for the .peo- ple.” How. many of the latter do you know? TaE old hoop skirt threatens to come into style.again. If this comes to pass it will probably put an end to women riding bicycles. A woman wearing a hoop skirt, sitting bestride a bicycle, would be a fine spectacle indeed. WE are going to have a Louisiana lot- tery steamship line to Central America, if the reports are trne. That many-lived monster is said to be about to raise its head and wag its tail as lively as ever, in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. It will start a steamship line, and lay a cable to this countrv, and make things very lively. Ir weight of brain was everything, then Benjamin Butler would have been a greater man than Daniel Webster. Webster's brain was one of the heaviest on record. That of Baron Cuvier, the naturalist, exceeded it in weight some- what. Butler's thinking apparatus, how- ever, weighed four ounces more than that of Webster. We have great heads in America. Wita the Russian famine, the grip for two years, the cholera, typhus, and final- ly the extreme severity ‘of the present winter, both in Europe and America, it looks as if a large proportion of the weak and physically unfit members of the hu- man race would be carried off. In Ham- burg alone in the past year there were 10,000 deaths from cholera. « But with the weeds the flowers are taken too. THAT is an excellent plan for relieving the poor that was devised by the Cingin- nati Chief of Police. Instead of opening soap houses to feed both the just and the unjust, this shrewd chief had all the needy apply to the city department for help. The worthy poor were sent to the city infirmary, the unworthy to the city workhouse, By that means the tramps were enabled to earn their living in the workhouse.” SPEAKING of Mr. Wannamaker's new stamp, the Minneapolis Tribune says: “Mr. Wannamaker smiles and smiles at’ the harsh things said about his big Co- lumbian stamps. They are going off like hot cakes, and when it becomes generally known that the gum on the adverse side of said stamps is medicated and war ranted to cure caiarrh, brace up a torpid liver, destroy the appetite for alcohol, morphine and tobacco, and relieve that tierd feeling, the health giving plasters will test the capacity of Uncle Sam's job office.” THE medical profession really begins to believe that cancer can be cured. The cure is effected through knowledge of microbes. There is a microbe. for each disease, and the cancer geim has been already discovered. The first step toward finding the éure was the discov- ery that if patients affected with eancer were, suddenly taken with certain other diseases—as, for instance, erysipelas—the cancer ceased its ravages during the progress of the other ailment. This was known a century ago. But not till re- cently was the cause discerned through the germ theory. It was found ont that the bacteria of certain diseases were hos- tile to one another and waged war upon one another in the haman blood when they met. If, then, the cancer patient is inoculated with the erysipelas virus, the microbes of the two diseases attack one another, and the erysipelas germ destroys the cancer germ. It is claimed that cer- tain cures of the dread cancer have heen effected in this way in New York and in Berlin, Paris and Vienna. NoT many men in the late war rose from volunteer private to major general, as Rutherford B. Hayes did. In politics, in the early part of ‘his career, he was one of the most victorious of men. Three times in the contest for governor of Ohio he defeated the ablest Democrats in the party—first, “Allen G. Thurman in 1867, next George H. Pendleton in 1869 and again William Allen in 1875. But he was never the same man afier his presi- dential term. The incessant and bitter attacks on him, whicl/ continued from 1875 till his death. made so painful an impression on him that he retired from politics absolutely at the close of his term |in 1881 and never afterward made a po- litical speech. The death of his brilliant and accomplished wife some years ago was another blow from which he never recovered. Mrs. Hayes was his compan- ion much of the time during his army campaigns. His death from neuralgia of the heart is such as might have come to a man who had suffered much from trouble of the mind. IF hangings must be, then the mob should be shut out absolutely from see- ing them. Nothing more revolting or demoralizing to humanity has been wit- nessed recently than the behavior of the spectators at a late hanging. Men gath- ered in numbers the night before the hanging, as if to a country circus. Whis- ky was passed freely among. them, and they became drunk and made night hid- eous with their whooping and yelling. They cut away fences and climbed trees in order to get sight of the show in the jail yard. They even smuggled whisky to the guard who formed the watch, and some of them became dead drunk, too. When the morning came and the pris- oners were led to execution, the mob jeered and howled like demons. Some of the condemned suffered horribly be- tore life became extinct. The blood- thirsty mob laughed in fiendish glee and cursed and sang and danced like demons from sheol. Nothing more disgraceful was ever witnessed in’ America. The men and boys who gazed on that scene will go through life henceforth with less regard for human life and with more calioused feelings toward human suffer- ing in any shape. It was with difficulty they were kept from anticipating the le- gal execution by taking the hanging into theirown hands. They will henceforth be more dangerous members of the com- munity for being unchecked in their con- duct that night and for being allowed to witness that hanging. A Goon Recorp. ‘I bave sold Cham- berlain’s Cough Remedy for ten years,” says druggist E. B. Lege, of Vail, Ia., ‘and have always warranted it and never had a bottle returned. © During the past 90 days I have sold twelve dozen and it has given perfect satisfaction in every instance.” It does not dry up a cough, but loosens and relieves it. It will cure a severe cold in less time than any other treatment. 25 cent, 50 cent and $1 bot- tles for sale by Copland. the druggist, Mee, yersdalPa. CORRERPONDENCE. - Grantsville. The road to Frostburg, via the old National Pike, is now open for heavy wagons. The impassable places from snow drifts have been shoveled open. Miss Lily Kurtz is visiting relatives in Addison. . Miss Fanny Getty is convalescing and will soon be able to resume her position as assistant teacher. A sort of ban seems to hang over the Primary room in the old brick school house; at least every primary teacher for the last three or four years has beep stricken down with sick- ness before the expiration ot the schoul term. It would be well for the trustees to examine into the matter, and if possi- ble, discover the cause of the unhealthy- ness. and then try to remedy it. If the proper regard is not shown the teacher in this respect, they should be more con- cerned about the health of their children, who sit in this room day after day. A teachers” institute was held in the school house, last Saturday. and the fol- lowing program was disposed of: Best method of teaching history—@G. B. Ry- land. Best method of teaching arithme- tic—M. H. McKenzie. Discusions: How to’ teach grammar—John Bender and Miss Kate Beachy. Teachers’ deport- ment in the school room, neatness. ete.— Misses M. Baker and Jennie Miller. Es- say—Miss Annie Dorsey. Music—Miss Ella Forney. Query box. The teachers were about all present and took an active part in the work. The institute ad- journed to meet March 4th and then have an afternoon and evening session. An interesting program will be prepared. All are cordially invited to attend. . Dan’t get angry and lose all your Chris- tianity, if you are Incky enongh to get a valentine. You ought to be glad tliat some one is thinking enough of you to send you a carricature. Henry M. Kurtz and wife, from Pitts- burg, were visiting relatives in town, last week. Their stay was very short, owing to the severity of the climate. The Bailiff made another a¥Frest, last Saturday, for fast riding within the bor ough limits. The unfortunate was from the “Pines” and entirely ignorant of our borough laws. We would consider it nothing more than right that to illiterate people a gentle reminder should first be given. Mr. Shatzer, of Oakland, has purchased all the personal effects of A. L.. Gnagey, for $1,800, we are told, and for the last week goods have been selling at cost. As a result, our community is being cleared out of all its loose change, and about all the business transacted within the next few months will have to be hooked. Lewis, Hamil, Peddicord. Shatzer & Felty registered at the Ryland hotel, this week. Jonas Hershberger is wearing a great, big smile, all over his face. like unto a valentine. The cause of it all is that last Sunday night a fine, plump. little, bare- footed boy stranger put infhis appearance at the Stone House farm. Dr. B. Lichity was physician in charge. One dav this week Henry Bittinger. of the town of Bittinger, was pursued by a horse, in a vicious manner, and in trying to get away from his equine foe, he made a leap for the fence. near at hand. Both hands struck the top rail. but the weight of his body seems to have been cast on the proximal ends of his arms, resulting: in a dislocation of his left shoulder. Dr. Lichty was called, and he, with the assist- ance of Squire Rawlston and several other neighbors, administered an aunaes- thetic and reduced the luxation in a very creditable manner. BRUTUS. Jan. 14th, 1893. The senior proprietor of this paper has been subject to frequent eolds for some years, which were sure to lay him up if not doctored at once. He finds that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is reliable. It opens the secretions, relieves the lungs and restores the system to a healthy con- dition. If freely used as soon as the cold has heen contracted, and before it has become settled in the system, it greatly lessens the attack and often cures in a single day what would otherwise have been a severe cold.—Northwestern Hotel Reporter, Des Moines, Iowa. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Copland, the drug- gist, Meyersdale, Pa.
