Women Wanted the Maloon ▼ Women are general! regarded aa the moral foese of the saloon, but the fair residents of South River, N. J., are exceptions to this rule, if rule It be. A man named Willetts wished to open a drinking resort, but met with op position because of the number of sa loons already doing business there. He has succeeded in getting up quite a lengthy petition on his behalf, all the signers being women. Snell's Stone Coffin Hobby, Samuel Snell of Holyoke, Mass., has a strange hobby. Though 73 years old and wealthy, he devotes all his spare time to the making of stone coffins. During the past twenty-five years he has made and disposed of over 100 of these, claiming that they keep the body in an excellent state of preservation long after burial. Queerly Marked Progeny. Mr. and Mrs. Zaccheus Gaskill of Dresbaeh, Minn., have ten children, and five of them posses twelve fingers and as many toes. It is equally curi ous that every alternate child in point of age has an extra finger, those who are not blessed in that direction hav ing six toes and only the normal num ber of fingers. A Wonderful Cure. Wright City, Mo., Dec. 30.—Medical men are still wondering over the Syrces case, which has aroused such a widespread interest in this neighbor hood. Mr. Joseph G. Symes had suffered very severely from Inflammatory Rheu matism. enduring pains which were |r something terrible and which made it altogether impossible for him to work by day or rest or sleep at night. In spite of all treatments he grew worse and his case seemed to defy all the usual remedies. He began a treatment of Dodd’s Kid ney Pills and very soon noticed a marked improvement, which increased as he kept on till six boxes were used, when he found himself without a trace of pain or ache. He is now able to work all day and sleep all night, and his rapid and complete recovery is re garded by the doctors as little short of a miracle. niral«M Telegraphy I.ong Ago.

Owing to the recent large influx of population into Western Canada it has become absolutely necessary in manj parts of Manitoba, Assinlboia, Sas katchewan and Alberta to increase the school accommodation. In may places buildings have been erected that are only half-occupied. This is perhaps as good evidence as will be found not only of their satisfaction with theii present school system and their con fidence that it will remain as it is, but also of their firm belief in the future expansion of the country, in increased Immigration, and it further indicates that they have little fear that the well established rate of births in civilized communities will not be maintained there. The free homestead laws and the cheap railway lands offer great induce ments, which are opening up the new settlements. Agents of the Govern ment of Canada are actively at work in different portions of the States for the purpose of giving information to possible settlers, and advertisements are now appearing in a large number of papers, giving the names and loca tions of these agents.

Under the leadership of Prof. Her man Widner. a number of noted men of artistic taste have formed hX Berlin the only male dress reform club in the world, says the St. Louis Post-Dis patch. A great crusade has been inaugur ated against the severe cut of the pres ent day attire which forces one of the sterner sex to put aside his own in dividuality and follow a fashion re flected upon every man h« meets. While the members of the German Male Dress Reform club do not favor the ruffles and laces of Louis XIV. they would compromise between that mode of dress and the twentieth century fashion. Prof. Widner has Issued a call for suggestions, and many hundreds of de signs, some practical and others very grotesque, have been submitted to these organized revolters against the laws of fashion. The idea first selected is a design worked out at a mass meet ing by the artists of the club. It is a modified form of the uniform worn by a German Hussar regiment. The short coat or jacket fits snugly at the waist and suggests the use of stays, though these reformers are after solid comfort. Rows of braid, silver or gold, to match the cloth, as the fancy dictates, outline the graceful curves of the spinal column, the sleeves are a trifle fuller than men usually wear and the shoulaers have that long, graceful slope so much desired by the society "belle” and so strenuously avoided by men until these artists changed the fashion. American ‘‘Beau Brummels” scoff at the idea of wearing a coat the shoulder seam of which commences about two inches down the arm. for, besides being in their eyes effeminate—that awful word which stands for everything man should avoid—and ugly, they must be uncomfortable, or it seems to the poor, unenlightened fashion s slaves and fol lowers of long established custom on this side of the water. The German Male Dress Reform Club trousers fit tight, loosening somewhat below the knee, and they are trimmed with but tons from the knee down. The waistcoat is thickly padded, showing to good advantage the chest formation. With the thermometer at zero, this is comfort. But is the com bination of the broad and manly chests with the slender, willowy form artis tic? As the chief aim and object of these reformers is to be beautiful as well as comfortable, the question is a reflection on the good judgment of the club. The garments are to be manufac tured of gay-colored cloths, varied in tones, this being intended to give the portrait painters a relief from the dull monotony of the present colors. The club has written to artist fraternities all over Europe soliciting further de signs, and whole volumes of drawings and suggestions have been received in reply. All the members are wearing the at tire first selected until something else is decided upon. Heat of Volcanoes. The Maoris of New Zealand cook their potatoes and other vegetables in volcanic heat. There are a few vol canoes in New Zealand, and some of the Maoris live up in the mountains near them. They make the volcanoes do several useful things for them, but the queerest is the cooking. A few of the volcanoes have a sort of periodic action. They heat up the ground in the fall and then lie idle the remaind er of the year. Those volcanoes are of a quiet disposition and never break loose, but they heat the ground just enough to do the native cooking. The plan of the Maoris is to dig a pit about five or six feet deep and bed it with straw. Then they put in their vege tables, filling up the pit quite full, and then cover it over with more straw and then a layer of earth. And then then they go away and lie low. Then the volcano begins to heat up and gets in its fine work and the potatoes and mangoes cook. The natives let them stay there for a long time after the heat departs from the earth, take them out whenever they want them, and eat them. So the earth is at once a stove and a storehouse.—Detroit Free Press. Eastern Farm Lands. In the eastern states prices of agri cultural land have generally fallen in recent years, in some cases about 50 per cent of the figures asked during the time of high prices. One of the chief causes for the decline in the value of land in the east appears to be a loss of fertility in the land itself, due, perhaps, to careless farming. In the central and western states there appears to be no such marked decline in farm values as In the east. In the northwest land seems to have been in creasing in value, and in some locali ties to a very marked degree. Farm laborers seem to have profited more in the past few years than their em ployers, or, since the fall in the prices of farm products, even better off than some of the farmers who employ them. It is also said that there is a greater opportunity for laborers to rise to in dependent positions in agriculture than ever before.—Detroit Free Press. California Ral«e* Big Thing*.

This was the case of Mr. Ell Wilt shire of Landsdown Terrace, Caine, Wis., who during this time suffered the most Intense agony. He writes: “I heartily indorse the testimonials which you publish of St. Jacob’s Oil as a pain killer, for I hare been a suf ferer from rheumatism and kindred complaints at different times during the last twenty years. I have been laid prostrate with rheumatic fever six times during that perled, therefore I consider I know something about rheu matism. During ail of these twenty years I have tried various advertised rheumatic remedies, oils, ointments and embrocations. None of them gave me much relief, but when I tried St. Ja cob’s Oil I found quite different results. It eased the pain almost Immediately and has done for me what all other rem edies put together never began to do. "I could give you several cases that have been cured, which have come un der my notice, and through my recom mendation; also one of toothache, one of faceache, and one of core throat. "I have recommended St. Jacob's Oil and shall continue to do so by every moans in my power, as I consider you deserving of every support.” The hotel runner doesn’t run the hotel.

This is a favorite expression with persons who have goods on hand that they wish to sell to the public. But their goods are not always good. Neith er have they a right at all times to claim that they are “not in the trust.” As a matter of fact they gen erally are in the trust. Trusts know the advantage of advertising their goods as “not in the trust.” It helps them to sell an inferior article that they may pay dividends on watered stock. The Defiance Starch company has no false stock on which to pay dividends. They simply manufacture the best starch that is made anywhere in the world, and sell 16 ounces for ten cents.
