THERE is such a thing as being too au-
thorative in one’s statements. For in-
stance, Surgeon General Wyman, of the
Marine Hospital service, says: “We will
keep the cholera out.” He means that he
will try to keep it out. There is a higher
authority than this officer, although he
seems to have forgotten it.
A Wyoming postmaster has written to
Postmaster Van Cott, of New York, what
he says is a sure preventive of cholera.
It is to burn scraps of leather in the hall
of the house, so that the fumes will spread

Tar day prior to the inauguration,
Gov. Russell, of Mass., entertained at
lunclieon the members of Congress from
Massachusetts. Gov. Russell, in the
course of the entertainment, proposed a
toast to Gov. McKinley, of Ohio, and
asked that it be drank standing. He said:
“Gov. McKinley—a manly man in mis-
fortune. Stronger than polities is friend-
ship, and stronger than political princi-
ples is human sympathy.”
TAERE is a little too much one-man
power in the world, even here in free
and enlightened America. For example,
here is our Judge with the sole power of
granting or refusing liquor licenses.
This is an outrage upon a Republican
form of government. Each community
shonld have the power to settle the license
question for itself. Neither Judge Long-
enecker nor any other Judge should have
anything to say in the matter.
AN exchange remark that a man can
not till a quarter section of land in Ne-
braska and support a saloon and a large
kfamily at the same time. We have séen
it tried and the family always comes out
second best in the deal. It even requires
temperance and sobriety in a saloon man
to succeed in his business. The most
successful saloon men are the ones who
never drink intoxicants. Have you ever
noticed this?—Hebron (Neb.) Journal.
IN religious matters, Turkey seems to
have caught onto the Reciprocity idea.
For years we have been sending mission-
aries over the sea to convert the Moham-
medans, but now they have sent a mis-
sionary over here to convert us to their
religion. They will erect a $150,000
mosque. Butas we already have Chinese
Joss houses in this country, guess we can
also stand a little Mobhammedanism. Af-
ter a while it will be ‘‘pay your money
and take your choice.”
Eric THE RED was a Scandinavian,
who emigrated to Iceland about the year
982, after which he discovered Greenland,
where he planted a colony. He sent out
an exploring party under his son Lief, in
the year 1000. who discovered the conti-
nent of America and landed on the shores
of southern New England. A statue of
the last named was erected in Common-
wealth avenue. Boston, some 3 or 4 years
ago. Yet, in the face of all this, Colum-
bus is generally credited with the first
discovery of America.
A BILL has been introduced in the
Senate providing that all canning factor-
ies shall stamp upon their cans the date
when the contents were put up. This
touches the Fremont canning factories,
so the Fremont Tribune takes occasion
to remark that this is a good idea and
onght to be followed up with another
compelling farmers to supply their hens
with rubber stamps with which to date
their eggs: The country suffers
from over-vipe eggs than aged canned
goods.—Hebroh (Neb.) Journal.

the highest point of excitement by his
vivid description of the alarm and despair
excited by the approach of a comet whose
collision with the earth had been declared
by astronomers inevitable. The descrip-
tion begins at a time when thé business
of the world has been suspended, and at
a great mass-meeting held in the Institute
of France, we hear the discussion of
scientists “as to the possibility of a sec-
ond deluge, the drying up of all the
surface water of the globe, or the to-
tal destruction of human life by cold,

KNIGHTS OF THE MACCABEES.
Facts Worth Considering.
We are in receipt of a letter from Dep-
uty Supreme Commander Paul G. Nowag,
Berlin's hustling merchant, apprising us
that he will be in our town next Monday
to compiete the organization of a tent of
Knights of the Maccabees.
We have carefully investigated the his-
torv, aims and objects of this order, and
we unhesitatingly advise our citizens to
join the Maccabees.
They are a fraternal beneficiary life
insurance association, and not a money-
making, proprietary, cold-blooded soul-
less corporation.
The Maccabees combine life insurance
and disability benefits at less than one-
third the cost charged by old-line com-
panies tor life insurance alone. :
The points of excellency which place
the Maccabees at the head of all fraternal
insurance orders, are, first. total disabili-
ty benefits. Second, at the age of 70
years the member becomes a beneficiary
and receives ten per cent. of his certificate
annually. Third, in the event of death,
the amount of certificate is paid in full,
as soon as proof of death is received.
This deservedly prosperous order now
numbers over 105,000 members and is
growing at the rate of over 8,000 mem-
bers per month. We call our readers’
special attention ro the following, viz:
At the age of 30 to 85 years it costs in
the K. O.T. M., $1.50 per month for
$3,000 insurance. Counting fifteen as-
sessments per annum (the hightes®rate
ever reached by a fraternal insurance or-
der) the cost would be $22.50 per annum
on $3.000. The old-line insurance com-
panies, at the age of 32 to 33. for $3.000,
payable at death only, is $72.15. An an
nual investment of $72.15 will pay the
K. O. T. M: annual dues, on even a 15-
assessment basis, and leave a balance of
$49.65, which amount deposited annual-
ly and componnded at 6 per cent.. will,
in 7 years, yield a sufficient fund of which
the interest will pay the annual dues on
a $3,000-policy with the Maccabees and
leave the fand intact, paying the month:
ly assessments with the interest.
In Great Britain there are sixty snch
fraternal societies, each over 100 years
old, furnishing insurance to their mem-
bers at an average cost of about $9.00 per.
annum on $1.000 insurance, and yet cronk-
ers and old-line insurance men are fond
of predicting that a great breaking up
time will come by and by. Bat every
year young men are growing up and
stepping into the places of those who
have died or dropped out. and this great
fraternal host keeps on increasing in num-
bers and influence. And it will continue
to grow in numbers and influence until
the cradle ceases to rock and the world
glands still. .
And all this is true. absolutely true:
even as it is recorded in THE SOMERSET
County STAR of the 2nd volume and the
15 number.
Origin of a Legal Phrase.
The expression ‘hand and seal,” which
occurs so frequent in legal documents, is
a reminder of the time when few men
were able to write even their own names.
Scores of old English and French deeds
are extant, some of them executed by
kings and noblemen, in which the sigua-
ture is a hand dipped in ink, the seal he-
ing afterward appended. together with
the sign of the cross, the name of the
man executing the deed being written by
another hand. Dipping the entire hand
in ink was, however, inconvenient and
dirty, and later the thumb was substituted.
The seal continued to be used, and al-
though now it has become only a formal-
ity, legal practice has in many cases pro-
nounced its employment indispensable.
From the German.
Rich Aunt—Why do you bring me this
