Mrs. Matilda Fletcher is to lecture next Saturday evening at the Congrega tional church, subject Is Man an Angel? It was stated Saturday that the advance agent had sold 100 tickets. No doubt the talented lady has a good lecture, but isn't it nn odd question to ask, anyhow ? One version of scripture says that men was made a little lower than the angels, and the revised version that he was, for a little while, made lower than the angels.

Every step of progress that man takes is done in imitation of nature, and the science of chemistry comes as near as any to opening the door into nature's inner workshop. An Englishman, in applying his chemical methods, has found that smoke can be prevented at a profit, and an exchange tells the story: "He burns his coal with artifical draft, and, conveying the gases into a chamber, he washes them with water spray, which causes every particle of soot or smoke to be deposited. At tho same time it condenses and recovers the ammonia, a product of nitrogen and hydrogen, as well as the sulphurous fumes. To get an equal efficiency of steam-raising power he had to burn 125 tons of coal in place of 100 tons, but for every 125 tons of coal burned he re covers a ton of sulphate of ammonia. The fuel if cheap can be bought in Lon don at 125 a ton, or an increase for the extra 25 tons of 31.23. But the sulphate of ammonia recovered is worth $60. It has been shown by experience of manu facturers that it pays to prevent moke." PERSONAL. Miss Bertha Zinnecker returned Wed nesday from her trip east.

Last Wednesday, while Mrs. Eliza beth Erb was looking to the interests about her farm, her house was entered by strangers and full possession taken. Imagine her surprise on entering and seeing her tables loaded down with cakes, pies, preserves and all that was most tempting to the appetite. It was the celebration of her 58th birthday an. niversary, given by the ladies society o the German Reformed church. It was a complete surprise in every way. Mrs. Erb's children were also present, and made their mother a handsome gift, in the way of a pair of gold-cased specta cles.

Argus has been coming to him very ir regularly of late tho last paper that failed to put in, was volume 7, number 2; all other mail, he says, comes with seeming regularity. One day last week while some wagons were passing near M. Reagan's just east of the city, two boys were seen to jump from one of the wagons (and slip into the sorghum patch, as they supposed) and crossed over into Mr. Berger's broom corn field. Each selected a stalk about 18 feot long, broke it off near the ground and started for the wagon, with the longest joint in their mouths, biting, twisting and sucking; yon can imagine, their surprise as they threw down the stalks in disgust.
