SPEAR 11EAU is absolutely, positively and distinctively different in flavor from any other plug tobaceo. K trial will convince the most skeptical of this fact. It is the largest seller of any similar shape and style on earth, which proves that it has caught the popular taste and pleases the people. Try It, and participate in the contest for prizes. See that a TIN TAG Is on every 10 cent piece of SPEAR HEAD you buy. Send In the tags, no matter how small the ouantity. Very sincerely, q * THE P. J. SORQ COMPANY, Middletown, Ohio. A list of the people obtaining these prizes in this county will be published In thie paper immediately after February 1st, 189L DON’T SEND ANY TAGS BEFORE JANUARY I. 1334. I LOVE'S SEASON. In sad sweet days when hectic flushes Burn red on maple and suniao leaf. When sorrowful winds wail through tho rashe*. And all things whisper of loss and grief. When close and closer bold Frost approaches To snatch the blossom from Nature’s breast. When night forever on day encroaches— Oh, then I think that I love you bestl And yet when winter, that tyrant master. Has buried autumn in walls of snow. And bound and fettered where bold Frost cast her Lies outraged Nature in helpless woe; When all earth’s pleasures in four walls center. And side by side in the snug home nest. We list the tempest that cannot enter. Oh, then I say that I love you bestl But latef on, when the siren season Betrays the trust of the senile king. And glad earth laughs at the act of treason, And winter dies in the arms of spring; When buds and birds all push and flutter To free fair Nature so long oppressed, I thrill with feelings I cannot utter. And then I am certain I love you best. But when in splendor the queenly summer Reigns over tho earth and the skies above; When Nature kneels to the royal comer, And even tho sun flames hot with love; When pleasure basks in the luscious weather. And care lies out on the sward to rest— Oh, whether apart or whether together. It is then I know that I love you best! -Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Cheerful Even In Death. At a dinner some time ago a jolly old astronomer related the following story about a departed friend, Mr. F.: Mr. F. was-sucli a good natured man that the approach of death itself could not disturb his peace of mind and ap preciation of humor. He lay dying, and his poor wife was nearly worn out with anxious watching. She was so tired that by mistake she gave her husband instead of the doctor’s medicine a dose from the castor oil bottle. When she discovered her mistake, she was almost frantic. She summoned the doctor at once and await ed his coming with tearful eyes and bit ter self reproach. The doctor came and assured her that no particular harm could have been done; that her hus band was dying, and medicine could not save him now. Still the poor woman wept and grieved. The doctor tried to comfort her, but to no purpose. If she had only given the medicine and not the oil, perhaps her dear husband might have got better. She had killed her dear husband—killed her dear husband. The doctor began to argue, when the dying man spoke up: “Never mind, doctor. I’ve had my oil. Let her have her blubber.”—Washing ton News. The Story of “David Copperfield.” Some interesting facts connected with Dickens’ “David Copperfield” have been revealed by Charles Dickens, the young er. “I have.” he says, “my mother’s au thority for saying—she told me at the time of the publication of Mr. Foster’s first volume and asked me to make the fact public if after her death an oppor tunity should arise—that the story was eventually read to her in strict confi dence by my father, who at the time in timated his intention of publishing it by and by as a portion of his autobiogra phy. From this purpose she endeavored to dissuade him, on the ground that he had spoken with undue harshness of his father and especially of his mother, and with so much success that he eventually decided that he would be satisfied with working it into ‘David Copperfield.’ ” Providing In Time. Lawyer (who has been called to draft a will)—Ready, sir? What is the first bequest you wish to make? Dying Millionaire—I bequeath all my property, real and personal, after the satisfaction of just claims against my es tate, to the foreign mission board of the -church. Lawyer—But you are not going to leave your wife and daughters unpro vided for? Dying Millionaire—Certainly not. I am merely trying to fix it so that when the courts reverse my decision in the matter the money will go where I want it to—by the way, I guess I’ll have you draw up the papers for the contest right now.—Exchange. Easily Mixed. Agitated Solicitor (at the chemist’s)— There's been a mistake made somehow. I meant to give my son a prescription from my doctor this morning, but it seems I didn’t. Here it is now in my pocket. “You certainly gave him the prescrip tion. I made it up for him an hour ago.” “Let me see it.” “Here it is.” “Heavens! That’s an opinion from Sir Lyons Silk, Q. C.”—London Tit-Bits. Toothache Cured Quickly. A European dentist is said to have had great success in curing toothache within five or six minutes, and often in less time, by applying one pole of an electro static machine to the troublesome tooth and the other pole to the body of the pa tient. In 76 cases thus treated by him only three are said to have been unsatis factory.—Electrical Review. Infidelity gives nothing in return for what it takes away. What, then, is it worth? Everything valuable has a com pensating power. Not a blade of grass that withers or the ugliest weed that is flung away to rot or die but reproduces something. —Chalmers. In the five or six months of the year during which the sardine fishery lasts something like 600,000,000 of these little fish are caught off the coast of Brittany alone. It is instanced as one of the curiosities of the memory that people who know long pieces of verse by heart frequently cannot remember their telephone num ber. It is a belief of fishermen that the finny denizens of the deep are hungriest tm,{ bite most freely during the four or five days following the moon’s first quarter A curious grass grows in Ceylon, the peculiarity about which is that when it has attained a certain length it takes fire by spontaneous combustion. Prehistoric Ruins In Africa. “I have just returned from Europe,” said Howard Hoffman, “where I have sojourned ever since my return from Zanzibar six months ago. I have been pursuing a course of investigation in the British museum that I had hoped would throw some light on the recent discov eries that have been made in Africa. Not far into the interior of Africa from Zanzibar I in company with others re cently discovered traces of a prehistoric city of no small dimensions. This city that I speak of must have been a capital of some ancient province or kingdom. It was some five miles square and was surrounded by a wall of masonry, the foundations, with a few projections, of which still remain and indicate an ex cellent knowledge of masonry'. The wall was undoubtedly meant for protection against enemies, for »it was strongly built and must have been at least 30 feet high. It is now overgrown by great tropical vines, and parts of it extend through impenetrable morasses. “Inside a few remains of houses still exist, and the outlines of a great temple or palace on the highest ground within the inclosure. Some excavations have been made and a few relics brought to light, such as pottery of the Egyptian type and broken bits of welded copper that may have come from a suit of mail Some idea of symmetry must have ob tained in that distant period, for the houses were built along streets or wind ing lanes, the precursor of our modern thoroughfares. The whole is overgrown at present by a mass of tropical plants and great old trees that have been stand ing for hundreds of years. To what nation those people belonged cannot be told, but the ruins would indicate that once Africa’s shores were the seat of a great civilization and a great com merce.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Did Life Begin at the Poles? As a matter of fact this earth of ours has long passed its youth. It is now verging on old age, and with its poles covered by everlasting ice it may be likened to a body whose extremities are bleached and paralyzed with years. Even in the geological period which imme diately preceded our own, and which is known as the postpliocene, or quater nary, great changes took place, and man has been a witness to them. The rivers of today are mere brooks compared to what they were then, and in North America we can trace the shore lines of immense quaternary lakes which no longer exist. But while this fact may interest and perhaps, surprise us a little it does not tax our credhlity so much as when we are told that once instead of snow and ice a luxuriant vegetation flourished not far from the poles. Indeed the French naturalist Buffon believed that on our planet, which was slowly cooled and consolidated, life began at the poles, and that from thence it spread in the direc tion of the tropics, whereat first the heat was too intense to admit of any kind of life. But it is only within recent years that we have been able to get a glimpse of the ancient arctic zone, which is much more accessible than the antarctic, and what has thus far been brought to light makes Bullion's daring conjecture ap pear not so very improbable.—Catholic World. _ An Illustration by Beecher. A man who had been a warm friend of Henry Ward Beecher tells this: “Almost the last time I saw Mr. Beech er,” he said, “I was with him in com pany with a group of men, one of which was Colonel Ingersoll. The colonel was airing some of his well known religious opinions, but Mr. Beecher for some time took no notice of the half challenge of his remarks. “He sat silent, with his head bowed. Finally, in a pause after an especially daring assertion from the colonel, he spoke slowly: “ ‘On my way here,’ he said, ‘at the corner of Fulton street and Broadway, where the press ‘of vehicles is close and dangerous, a man, a cripple, was trying to cross the street. A stout crutch supported him, and he was making prog ress when a fellow ran out and knocked his crutch from under him, leaving him helpless against the dangers bearing down on every side. “ ‘That cripple, sir,’ he went on, sud denly raising his voice and throwing back his leonine head, ‘is humanity; his crutch is Christianity, and you are the one who would push it away, offering nothing in its stead.’ ”—New York Times. Electricity In Photography. One of the greatest difficulties that the photographer has to contend with is the preservation of the natural expression of the sitter for the period of exposure. Notwithstanding that this period has been greatly shortened in various ways, particularly by the adoption of the mag nesium light in photographic practice, nervousness plays such a large part in the temperament of the great majority of those who are anxious to hand down their presentments to posterity that the operator has often found the interval even too prolonged for the accomplish ment of his perfect work. This difficulty has been overcome by Herr Haag in Stuttgart by means of a change in the management of the mag nesium light. Herr Haag has made some lightning cartridges, which cause a tre mendous development of light and are set alight in one-tenth of a second by means of electricity.—New York Tele gram. The Fatal Secret. She was 37 and some months, if she was a day, yet she sought to conceal the fact. “Gracious me,” she twittered, “how time flies, and how we fly with it! Just think, I was bora in 1870.” The man looked at her, stupefied. “B. C.?” he inquired, absentmindedly. —Godey’s. Applying a Precept. “This is the fonrth time you have applied for an office,” said the candi date’s friend. “Yes, but it takes lots of application to succeed in anything, you know.”—Washington Star.
