Dashed Bit Economy ,
This is a story ahout a man over im
Alexandria who has a great deal of
money , to which ho is deeply attached.
Ho is , in fact , so attached to it that he
hates to bo separated from a dollar of
it. He lias a silk hat , too a well preserved -
served silk hat of great age and un
doubted respectability. Ho is fond of
his bat , and ho'd like to wear it every
day , but silk hats , you know , are ex
pensive , so he lias been wearing his for
these many years just on Sunday. On
week days he wears a shocking bad hat
which does not concern this Etory. The
last time the storks visited the Alexan
dria man's house they were generous.
They brought twins , a boy and a girl.
The father was sitting in the parlor
when somebody entered to bring the
news.
"Well - ' father " said
, j-ou'ro a now ,
the somebody.
"Boy or girl ? " asked the Alexandria
man.
man."Both
"Both twins. "
"Great Scott , " cried the father ,
springing to his feet. "Give me my
silk hat ! I might as well wear it every
day now. What's the use of trying to
bo economical , anyway ? " Washington
Post.
Lowell' * Greatest Defect.
In this same year , 1848 , Lowell sent
forth also "The Vision of SirLaunfal , "
his first attempt at telling a story in
verse. Perhaps it is the best of all his
serious poems loftiest in conception
and most careful in execution. His
habit then , as always , Avas to brood over
the subject he wished to treat in verse ,
to fill himself with it and finally to
write it out at a single sitting , if possi
ble. Ho rarely rewrote , and his verse
lacked finish and polish , though it never
wanted force. It was at this time that
ho told Longfellow ho meant to give up
poetry because he could "not write
slowly enough. "
His poetry also suffered from another
failing of his. He was not content to set
forth beauty only and to let the reader
discover a moral for himself. Longfel
low , Whittier and Lowell all insisted
too much at times on the lesson of the
song. And Lowell knew his own defect
and wrote later in life , "I shall never
be a poet till Igetontof the pulpit , and
New England was all meeting house
when I was growing up. " "James
Russell Lowell , ' ' by Brander Matthews ,
in St. Nicholas.
Bicycle Wheels.
It is not as generally nnderstood as it
should be , perhaps , that bicycle wheels
seldom or never are subjected to lateral
strains. They need to resist only those
strains which pass through their own
plane , and in this plane only have they
any strength worth speaking of. This is
worth remembering when the use of
wheels of this typo is being considered
for three or four wheeled vehicles , where
the conditions are essentially different ,
and where , in turning corners rapidly ,
or in going over ground that causes the
vehicle to bo inclined sideways , a very
considerable lateral strain may be
brought npon the wheels a strain
which the ordinary bicycle wheel is ,
very properly , entirely unfitted for.
This is to be considered also in connec
tion with devices for attaching two Tri
cycles side by side to make a duplex , or
four wheeled machine , of them. Neither
the frame , the bearings nor the wheels
of a properly constructed bicycle are
adapted to such use without iLJury.

Jane Water.
A quaint old superstition as to the
medicinal virtues of "June water" still
obtains in Hingham and other old towns
in Massachusetts. It must be caught
from the first shower that falls after 12
o'clock en the night of May 81. An old
lady of Hingham tells a writer , who
sends an account of "June water" to
the Boston Transcript , that it is bottled
and used for sick folks mostly. "You
oughtn't to give 'em medicine in ordi
nary water , didn't you know ? Why , I've
had my son's wife send np from Boston
for a bottle or two when the boys was
sick. Then if I feel as if I can spare it
I use it for preserves. They'd never
spoil done in June water if you'd kep'
'em 100 years. Why , there ain't a speck
or a mite of dirt in it. It's real different
from other water when you come to
look. "
Rebuked From the Pnlplt.
Preaching in the abbey Canon Wilber-
force told a good story of the celebrated
Welsh preacher , Christmas Evans , who
dared publicly to express his thankful
ness for Jenny Lind's beautiful singing.
A member of his congregation , a straitlaced -
laced Calvinist , standing on the steps of
the pulpit , asked the preacher whether
a man dying at one of Jenny Lind's con
certs would go to heaven. "Sir , " re
plied Mr. Evans , "a Christian will go
to heaven wherever he dies , hut a fool
remains a fool even on the pulpit
steps. " Even the sober abbey congrega
tion could hardly stifle its enjoyment of
this repartee. Westminster Gazette.

The Republican State League.
The annual meeting of the Republican
state league in Lincoln , Wednesday , was
a turbulent affair , the fight for the league
officers being spirited between Omaha
and Lincoln. The result was that Hastings -
ings secured the president in the person
of Judge W. P. McCreary. John C.
Hays'of Madison count } ' was chosen vice
president ; Ed. J. Mock of Harlan couui
ty , secretary ; P. L. Hall of Saunders
county , treasurer. Both the Lincoln
and Omaha candidates for president finally -
ally withdrew in the interest of peace
and harmony.
Threw itself Down.
A horse driven by one of the Goheen
bo3s created a flutter of excitement on
Main avenue , last evening , during the
band concert , by throwing itself to the
ground broncho-like. A number of men
promptly pounced upon the prostrate ,
floundering horse and held it down until
it could be disengaged from the buggy.
Nobody hurt and small damage.
The Band Concert.
The people of the city were lagely and
enthusiastically in evidence at the band
concert , last evening. The program
given embraced a number of new and
splendid selections which were received
with genuine , merited approval. The
work of the Brigade is improving steadily -
ly in uniform excellence and high grade
accomplishment.

Last summer one of our grand children
was sick with a severe bowel trouble.
Our doctor's remedies had failed , then
we tried Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy , which gave very
speedy relief. We regard it as the best
medicine ever put on the market for
bowel complaints. Mrs. E. G. Gregory ,
Frederickstown , Mo. This certainly is
the best medicine ever put on the mar
ket for dysentery , summer complaint ,
colic and cholera infantum in children.
It never fails to give prompt relief when
used in reasonable time and the plain ,
printed directions are followed. Many
mothers have expressed their sincere
gratitude for the cures it has effected.

Mrs. Rhodie Noah , of this place was
taken in the night with cramping pains
and the next day diarrhoea set in. She
took half a bottle of blackberry cordial
but got no relief. She then sent to mete
to see if I had anything that would help
her. I sent her a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic , Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and the first dose relieved her. Another
of our neighbors had been sick for about
a week and had tried different remedies
for diarrhoea but kept getting worse. I
sent him the same remedy. Only four
doses of it were required to cure him. He
says he owes his recovery to this won

Trunk labels.
"I wish yon would have a porter
como up and wash the labels off my
trunks , " remarked a well dressed man
as he signed his name to the hook at the ;
Continental last night. The guest as he
spoke pointed to three big trunks that
stood in the haggage room. The trunks
were covered with the various labels
that indicated that they had made a
long continental journey. In days gone
hy these lahels were the proper thing , ,
and the man just home from Europe
considered those glaring tags as almost
sacred. But fashion has changed this
year , thanks of the Prince of Wales set
