The Ladies' Auxiliary of the cemetery association met with Mrs Isham Reavis Tuesday afternoon. No business of importance - portance was transacted aside from fixing the time of the open- ing of the King soda fountain , which will be l'wlay 20th. trhese openings under the charge of the ladies have heretofore been quite profitable to the association , and we hop the one of May 20th will be equally so. A great deal of the credit for the beauty' the cemetery is due to the unselfish labor of the members of the asso- ciation. Have you missed Uncle Jesse Crook lately ? The old gentle- man is no longer able to , come down town. For fifty years he has been a familiar figure and the streets seem lonely without him. He is able to be about the yard at his home , but the exer- tion of coming clown town is too great for him to make the at- tempt. The entire community hopes that his health will im- prove and that his strength in a measure will return. Every great daily paper in the state has written for seats in the congressional convention for their reporters. A great contest is expected and the newspapers will be represented in force to write it up. It would be Quite an advertisement if these papers would speak well of Falls City af a convention city.

Cron- berKer on North Stone street and gave him a pleasant sur- prise. The evening was spent is a very social way. Ice cream and cake were served and all present certainly enjoyed the . evet11ng.

Thequick relief which this liniment affords makes rest and sleep possible , and that alone is worth many times its cost. Many who have used it hoping only for a short relief from suffer- ing have been happily surprised to find that after awhile the re- lief became permanent 'Irs. V. H.

June is the favorite month for marriages the world over. Iu Scotland , for instance , 175 of 1,000 ( ) ( ) marriages take place in June , and in Sweden the proportion iB 150 ( ) . In New York city the number of marriages in a year is 40,000 and the distribution by months is so even that the lead of June is very small. Last year J une led with 3,723 marriages , but there were 3,7)1) ( ) in December , n. favorite month for marriages , and U04 ( ; in November. The month in which there are the fewest in New York city is March. May and August : are two other months in whieh the number - . bel' of marriages is small. Though in most European coun- tries June is the favorite month , there are some exceptions. Thus : ; , in Holland , May is the favorite month for marriages , and in Italy 'ebruarJ' , which includes the period preceding the beginning of Lent. In Germany , April , regal ded as the first of the spring months , is the favorite one for marriages and ill Greece October is the favorite In Russia , January is the favorite marriage month. It is in consequence of these Old \\'orld preferences , no doubt , that the somewhat curious result i8 shown here : June is the favorite marriage month for those born here , whether of American 01' for- eign parentage , but it is not for those foreign born. Lastyeur , according to the board of health figures , there were more marriages in December than in June of foreign born couples , and more in January , too. IT REVEALS NEW WORLDS. Most Recent Scientific Discovery Is the " " "Ultrn-Microscope"-Grent Aid to Science. One of the most recent scien- tific triumphs is tIle "ultra-micro- scope. " Two continental experimenters - ers are credited with the inven- tion , which consists in the application . catio to the microscope of highly concentrated artificial light by the aid of powerful lenses and pI'isms. The result is so greatly to increase the magnifying power that millions of particles hitherto - to beyond the range of the microscope - scope are rendered visible. The ultra-microscope , too , has revealed - vealed , among other things , new and strange living creatures mov- ing about in a drop of human blood By the old form of microscope only inactive microscopic matter could be photographed. Any activity - tivitJ' , unless very slow , was lost altogether. Even the very slow ! movements caused blurrings Under the new miscroscope bac- teria of all sizes stand clearly revealed - vealed , their slightest movements being plainly visible. The effect , of course , will be to render immense - mense assistance to science in exploring - ploring the wonder world of mi- eroscopio things. - . , ' . - - 1 ( . . . . . . . . . " ' .
