electric current, her citizens having
last Saturday voted to bond the town
S8000 for that purpose.

White," followed by the laughable
farce, "The Merry Cobbler," at Manchester to-night.
At the annual school meeting held
in Ann Arbor it was voted to bond the
town §6000 for the purpose of huilding
additions to the ward school buildings
which are now crowded too full for
convenience.
The Ann Arbor Argus came near being but a mess of ashes and ruins a few
days since. The prompt action of the
employees and quick respons e of the
fire company being entitled lo all credit of its present existence.
A couple of sawlogs on a passing
freight train, so timed ittheother day,
;is to roll off exactly at Grosvenor station, staving a hole in the depot and
showing a number of people how narrowly they had escaped death.—Adrian
Press.
The ladies of Grass Lake were out in
round numbers at school meeting Monday evening and were recognized with
much courtesy by the moderator. So
great was their joy over the event that
they wrote and have published a card
of thanks.
Coffins 'ire now made of paper. Dead
beats who have all their lives swindled
editors out of their paper can now keep
right on after death and swindle undertakers out of their paper through
eternity.—Hillsdale Standard.
A sad spectacle at Tecumseh, on hand
reunion day, was that of Prof. W. H.
Hogan—himself the last of a family of
aeronauts—mourning and refusing to
be comforted because the wind hlew so
hard that he could not risk his neck in
an ascension.—Adrian Press.
Charles Bice met with a very serious
and pwuful accident over at the farm
Tuesday. He slid off the hay mow in
the barn and came down onto a broom
handle, which penetrated in the abdominal regioKS about six inches. Dr.
Pyle went oyer and attended the wound,
after which he was brought home here
at the hotel. At present he is getting
along very nicely.—Milan Leader.
A young chap at Manchester named
John HaskleyStarted out a few nights
since for a deal of his own. Packing
his clothes he goes to the barn of one
neighbor, gets a horse, to another
and secures a harness and tQ the
third where he finds a buggy and off he
goes, only to be captured early next
day by deputy sheriff Wade who found
the full rig driver and all near Chelsea.
N. P. Husted, a well known fruit
grower of Lowell, Mich., is in the city.
He brought with him a branch of a
peach tree loaded with over half a
bushel of large peaches of the Early
Michigan variety. They have caught
the eye of the peach growers in this
city. They are a little earlier than the
Early Crawford, ripen evenly, are good
keepers and taste delicious. A more
exuded, nqti.ee of this peach will bo
given in our next issue.—Argus.
Two severe accidents happened yesterday. Jay Harvey, a lad of some lo
years, was run ever by the train on
which he was "catching a ride," near
the Gilbert crossing, and both legs so
severely injured that they had to be
amputated, one near the ankle, aud one
above the knee. A boy named Beadle
who works at the box factory injured
his right hand so badly iu some of the
machinery that two fingers had to be
taken off.—Ypsilanti.Commercial.

To Oue Readers:—Last week the
members of the Saline High School decided to continue this year the publication of a School Column in the Observes. The editor of said paper having kindly given his consent and space
in his paper, providing we fill it with
something. The editor of this School
Column will endeavor to publish items
concerning the doings of the teachers
and pupils, which may be of interest to
the readers of the Observer. It is
hoped the few items of this week will
be agreeable to. all.
Miss Mattie Schaffer. class of '92,was
a chapel visitor one morning last week.
The Caesar class consists of one member this year. Hope he will master
Caesar.
The senior class has lost another
member, Miss May L. Cody having
entered the high school at Ann Arbor
Monday.
What was the trouble with the
Geometry class • Monday. The professor says it was "Monday Morning" but
the class think it was the proposition.
Of course it was.
Miss Linnie Fosdick, class of :92, and
Miss Miniue Davidson attended chap'el
exercises last Friday morning.
Miss Kate Burkhart is entertaining
her cousin, Miss LucyBuhler.
The Misses Myra Forbes and Milvina
Schroen entered the high school Monday.
Mr. Will Collum gave the high school
a call Tuesday.
The members of the Chemistry class
are learning the art of dishwashing.
For beginners they are doing nicely.
The Banner room for September is
the First Primary.
The largest class in the high school
is the Physiology class consisting of
twenty-three members.
Miss Schlee's reading class are posting themselves in current history by
reading a very popular newspaper, The
Week's Current.
Again the familiar sound of the
school bell is heard calling us to our
rooms of study.
Miss Anna Fellows, Miss Purnell
DaPuy and Dorance Kanousc have
commenced courses in the high school
this year.
It is quite evident the freshmen
thought "First come, first served,"
when they took possession of the seats
in the rear of the room. The next
thing is to keep them.
The room which shows the most
change since vacation is the chemical
1 iboratory. The tables have been
painted, and each supplied with a very
line set of reagent'bottles; much valuable working apparatus has been added,
and the room arranged to accomodate
a cliiss of fifteen.
The Greatest Natural Bridge.
You all know of the Natural Bridge
in Virginia; and perhaps have heard
how the first and greatest President of
the United States, in the athletic vigor
of his youth, climbed up and carved his
name high on its cliff. A very beautiful and picturesque spot it is, too; but
many of them would not begiu to make
one of the Natural Bridge of which I
am going to tell you—one in the western
edge of the Tonto Basin, Arizona, in
the same general region as Montezuma's
Well and Castle; but it is even less
known.
The Natural Bridge of Pine Creek,
Arizona, is to the world's natural
bridges what the Grand Canon of tho
Colorado is to the world's chasms—the
greatest, the grandest, the most bewildering. It is truly entitled to rank
with the great na'tural wonders of the
earth—as the Natural Bridge in Virginia, is not. Mo photograph ca'i give
more than a hint of its majesty; no
combination of photographs more than
hint?.—St. Nicholas.
NEW YORK  SUITED   HIM-
Sow an Old  Man with, a Bottle filled a
Hollow Spot.
It was on a Fifth avenue car coming
down town, says the N. Y. Herald, a
little old man with a grey goatee, which
was notched and haggled as if rats had
been frisking with it, got on at the
Grand Central, and soon after the car
emerged from the tunnel he said to
the man on his left:
"I'spose thar hain't no law in this
town agin a feller feelin1 thirsty?"
"Oh! no! no!" was the reply. "New
York has very broad and liberal ideas
on all matters."
"That's good. Any law agin a feller carryin' a hottle around in his
pocket?"
"Never heard of any. Ji you have a
botsle in your pocket you need not fear
being disturbed."
"That's good! That's the way I like
to find a town!" exclaimed the old man
with a good deal of feeling. "Would
it be agin the law to take a nip here on
the car?"
"Not at all, sir. If I wanted to take
a nip I should do it."
"You would, eh? Wouldn't make
any difference whether it was cold tea
or whisky?"
"Not a bit. We are very liberal
here."
"This is whisky," continued the old
man as he felt "for the bottle in his
coat tail pocket. "I brung it along in
case of goneness. I feel a holler spot
since I left the depot, and I kinder
guess I'd better fill it up."
"Certainly, certainly."
"I'll kinder scrooch behind you, if
you don't mind. Them wimmin' is
lookin' at me, and may be I hadn't
orter be too bold-faced about it."
• jerooch away, and take your time
f'joutit."
The old man scrooched and gurgled,
and then gurgled and scrooched and
when ho slewed around on his seat
again it was to grin and remark:
"The holler has been filled, and I'll
he gosh durned if I don't feel like a
new man. Powerful glad 1 am I met
you. I was kinder skeery about things
till you told me they was all right."
"I told you we had very broad ideas
on such matters."
"So you did, and I'm obleeged. If
I were to home I'd have had to go
down behind the tannery to do that.
Broad ideas! You bet you hev! I
like 'em. They jest fit me. If thar's
anythin' nicer'n sittin' on a hoss car
and fillin' up holler spots without feel-
in' sneaky about it I'd like to know
what it is! I'd offer you a nip but I
accidentally spit in the bottle while
I was gurglin', and you may be one of
the pertickler kind. It's all right,
though—see you agin before I go home
and treat to anything you want."
Things TJseful to Know.
Bathing the chest in cold water and
rubbing it vigorously every morning
will help develop and strengthen it.
If a carpet has grown dingy and soiled
take a pail half full of hot water, put
in a tablespoonful of ammonia, give
the carpet a good scrubbing with a
new scrub-brush and it will be greatly
improved.
A very good tonic for the skin is
made of two ounces of Cologne water,
camphor tincture one ounce, benzoin
tincture one-half ounce. A few drops
of this mixture may he put into the
wash-bowl when bathing the face.
For the earache.get 5 cents' worth oi
dried arnica flowers and put them into
small bags; take a pint of whisky and
keep it heated on the stove; dip the
bags of arnica flowers into the hot
whisky and lay iheni over the ear. As
soon as tho. steai& slops coming from
oue bag change it for another hot one.
—Good Housekeeping.
Princess YoussoupoH has an oriental
pearl which is unique for the beauty
of its color. In lb'20 this pearl was
sold by Georgians of Calais to Philip
IV. of Spain for 30,000 ducats. Today
it is valued at £45.0J0.

He Won Her.
From the N. Y. Press.
"She has promised to marry you, has
she?   Did she accept you right off?"
"O no. IJiad to propose to her four
times."
"Four times! Gracious, but you wevt
pet-serving! What did she say the first
time?"'
"She said if there wasn't another man
in   the   world   but  me, she  wouldn't
marry me."
"That was pretty strong. What did
sshe say the second time?"'
"She said she liked mo pretty  well
but she could not think of marrying me,
for she might see somebody else that
she would like better."
"Humph!   And the third time?''
"The third time she asked me if I
Wanted to tease the life out of her."
"Ha! ha! ha!   And tho fourth time?"'
"Oh, the fourth time she said if I insisted upon it she supposed she would
have to say yes."
There is a large aud growing demand in New York for second-hand
shoes. All along 7th avenue there are
dealers who make a specialty of old
shoes. The men usually have stalls
in cellars. Their wares embrace shoes
of all sorts, from the baby's tiny slipper to the big. stiff brogans of the laborer.
"We get our shoes," said one of
them recently, "from all sorts of places.
I Usually make a couple of trips a week
myself to a lot of stylish flats in the
upper part of the city. I collect all
the old shoes I am able to buy. What
do I give? Oh, very little, of course;
I -usually pay 40 cents or so for a pair
of $5 shoes, but they must be in good
shape to win such a price, for, you
know, we do not get much more than
twice that sum when we retail them
again over the counter."
"Who sells shoes *to you?"
"You would be surprised if you saw
the fine, swell fellows that have to put
up their shoes occasionally to help
keep up appearances. We take the
shoes, black them up, repair them and
then offer them for sale."
"Who buys them?"
"All classes. Yes, we have nice,
prosperous people who wear secondhand shoes and think- nothing of it.
Then there is a class of you ng fellows
in New York who have expensive
tastes and small capital. They come
to us, pick out a good-looking patent
leather shoe, pay 75 cents o-r so for it
and go away rejoicing. They go home,
put them on and, then, who cau tell
the difference?"—JVr. T. fiecoixinr.
