A Hqllaway man. "would like to see
the postmaster, who is a good repubi*,-
ctiiU and the deputy state oil inspector,
who is a red hot democrat, meat and
extend to each other their feelings of
sympathy and condolence." The difference between the two men is this: The
democrat is prepared; a republican
never feels that he is quite ready to let

A couple of Dundee young ladies
came here to attend a funeral one day
last week but found that the ooject of
their compassion was alive aud worth
by far a great deal more than a dead

Still, when a young lady uhas got„all
ready to let her tears "slide Kelley
slide,"" of course they'll have to slide,
but to boo boo without a cause makes
her ridiculous. The fellow didn't do
right.—Adrian Press.
The Cheisca HeraLd says: It is a noble
thing that lnurchauts aud clerks have
the grace of patiunee. j/T his new idea
came lo the writer, the]_other day by
observing a bevy of young ladies iu a
certain store looking over the numerous idiuls of goods. They admired,
compared ana priced many articles, but;
did not purchase. They liuaily passed
out—probably to repeat the same thing
at otner stores—as they went home
void of burden of packages. The merchant bowed and smiled upon them as
though they hscl made a fifty dqllar
purchase. Storekeepers need tp be as

While we usually   think   of earthquakes as taking place ou land,they do,
indeed, occur with equal devastation in
tho ocean.   The point in tho earth at
whieb the explosion or breaking takes
place is called the earthquake-focus;
and from it what ar-e known as earth-
qtiake=wa yes pass to the surf aoe.   What
dp these earthquake-waves resemble?
Take a basin full of water, and dip a
glass tube in it.   Blow through a tube
and you will see bubbles rising to the
surface, and circular waves passing out.
The disturbance at the bottom of the
basin corresponds with the explosion or
snapping of the crust at the earthquake-
focus, witb this difference that instead
of  water-waves,   the  latter   produces
earth-waves,     passing    through    the
ground.     When  the  city of Lisbon,
Portugal,   was  destroyed,  the earthquake took place in the bottom of the
sea, fifty mites west of the city.   Yet it
so agitated tne water that a wave sixty
feet high dashed over Lisbon, destroying it and its inhabitants in the space
of six minutes.   Another earthquake,
occurring just off the coast of Peru,
made sueh a gigantic wave that a large
vessel was thrown several miles inland.
These   are   called   earthquake-waves.
Tbey are the largest known waves^ and
are caused by tbe heaving and rocking
of tho bed of the sea.   In deep water
such waves are not very high,but their
motion   extends   far   down   into   the
ocean.     When   they   reach   shallow
water, however, they heap up like a
gigantic wall, arid, with a force morei
terrible than fire or sword, they sweep I
on,  bearing  destruction   with  tbem.
Huge sbips are tossed like \ straws far 1
inland, or mingle their ruin with that j
of a barbor town.—Frederick "0. .** Ches- j
tWri in St. Nicholas. I
Campaign Fund.
The first,and in most cases tbe cbief,
source of revenue is the assessment of
candidates. The amount of these
assessments varies in different localities
and under different circumstances. A
common assessment in illinois, for example, in districts that are not considered especially doubtful in ordinary
elections, is five per cent of the annual
salary, and it is expected that all candidates, unless there is some special
reason for exception, will pay this assessment. However, it not infrequently bappens that tbe most valuable candidate for tbe party is a poor man who
is unable to pay the regular assessment.
Iu that case, the committee, taking all
the circumstances into account, ask
Mm to pay what seems reasonable, or"
he may be even entirely exempted from
assessment, as in the case of a crippled
candidate for county recorder in Indiana in 1890. A wealthy candidate,
who can well afford- to pay more, is
sometimes assessed a lump sum without any especial reference to the salary
that he is to receive if elected.
In national elections local county
committees expect to receive money
also from the national committee,
usually through the hands of the state
committee. In tbe campaign of 1SSS
the Republican committee in one county of Indiana received SSOO from the
state oornmittee, which they supposed,
as a matter of course, came from the
national committee.
In the campaign of 1880, in that same
state, the two leading county managers
of one of the parties went to Indianapolis and met there a representative
from tbe national committee. They
went to his room in the hotel to talk
with him regarding funds. When he
asked their needs, it was replied that
they did not come to beg money from
the national committee, but that their
county stood ready to match dollar for
dollar wbaLever sum be was willing to
give tbem. "You're the land of men I
have been wanting to see" replied the
gratified representative from New
York. "You can have as much money
as you want: help yourselves."" He
took down two valises, and threw them
open, showing tbem packed full of bills.
One of the. most astute of "New York
political managers is of the opinion that
while they doubtless took what tbey
needed, tbey fnilod to keep their promise to match the sum "dollar for dollar"''
from their own county; but tbey did
keep their word.
Another source of revenue, and one
that is much larger than .ve should ex-
pec', if we did not consider ths great
enthusiasm that a close, campaign
arouses, is voluntary contributions. I
am not speaking here of the largo sums
that are raiaed by national committees
from wealthy men, espeeihlly fivm
those who feel that they have much at
slake in national legislation, but the
amount that is contributed to county
and city committees in local campaigns.
In the campaign ot 1SS8, in the same
county that received SS0O from tbe
national committee, on© little city of
4000 inhabitants raised $1200 a day or
two before the election, after the
assessments bad been collected. The
money was given voluntarily by enthusiastic men. In that campaign, In
that county, some $7000 was spent by
one party alone, tbe greater part of it
in tho purchase of votes.—Century.
_,    Mr. Howells' Future Plans.
While Mr. Howells will not, (luring
1898, confine his literary work  to any
single periodical, it may  be authoritatively anuouueed that he entered into a
contract with The Ladies'Home Journal
whereby his most important work will,
for some time to come, first see print
in the pages of that magazine.   His
new model, "The Coast of  Bohemia."
begins in the Chrismas issue ot  tbe
Journal, and immediately upon its close
Mr. Howells will begin in tbe magazine
a scries of editorial autobiographical
papers, in which he will trace the  influences which led him to a literary
life, his course of reading and his favorite authors and books.   The articles
will practically  tell  the story of  the
famous novelist's life, and promise to
possess in a rare degree that atl ractive
interest which always attaches itself to
the life of a successful man  when told
by himself.     Howells  bad   bis  early
struggles; bis early resources were few,
and these be will trace among other
things in these articles, describingrtoo,
how   he mastered  four different languages to acquaint himself with the
literature of the countries most attractive to him.
MISSING LINKS.
C. L. Walker, chief clerk of the Central railroad at Macon, Ga., has an old
bill in his possession. It is a $10 note
of the state of North Carolina, printed
in 1778. On one side is the inscription
"Persecution the Ruin of Empires."
On the other side appear the words
"Death to Counterfeiters."
Dr. Dareste has demonstrated that
monsters and monstrosities during animal development are not the results
of pathological changes in the embryo,
as hitherto supposed, but modifications of the processes of organic evolution, such as bring about the difference between individuals and races in
mankind.
The latest police regulation in Berlin for saloons or beer gardens with
female waiters prohibits these persons
from coaxing guests to drink by a
winning smile, or tickling, or similar
proceedings. Moreover, the poor girls
are not allowed to sit down or appear
in "costume." Long, "decent" dresses,
however, are permitted.
Among the other great things in this
country the number of its high mountains is a remarkable feature. There
are 300 mountains in the United States,
each exceeding 10,000 feet in height.
The greatest number are found in Colorado aud Utah. In Alaska there are
five which exceed 15,000 feet, and
Mount Ellis, 19,500 feet high, is the
loftiest peak in the United States territory.
The Glasgow Herald makes the
graceful acknowledgment at the head
of its columns of humor that "fully
one-half the humorous sayings we
hear come from America, and of the
other half fully 50 per cent should be
accredited to that country." Two or
three well-paying publications m England are weekly papers whose contents
are almost all composed of clippings
from American papers, and rarely
credited.
A correspondence has been going on
in the London Times regarding the
origin of the stars and stripes,in which
one of the writers says: '"The armorial bearings of the Washingtons are:
Argent two bars gules, in chief three
mullets of the second. Consequently
there seems little reason to doubt that
the liberator himself designed the flag
from the charges in the Washington
arms as they appeared on the very
seal which he used."
On the road from Khandala to the
famous cave of Karli, in India, says
Miss North, in her recently published
"Recollections of a Happy Life," she
came upon "a splendid tree of Jonesia
asoka, full of orange flowers and delicate leaves. The priest of the temple
found me one line flower growing
through a honeycomb full of honey
which had been built round its stem.
Did the buds push their way through
the honey and wax or was the thing
built quickly round them?"
Richard Beverly, who for §850 a
year takes the mail from Buena Vista
to Pleasant View, in Amherst county,
Virginia, carries it the distance of
eighteen miles on his back- Everyday except Sunday he walks from
Buena Vista to Pleasant View and
back, a distance of thirty-six miles.and
ou Saturdays walks back again to
Pleasant View, to be with his family
Sunday, that day's walk being fifty-
four miles. He "is 50 years of age, 6
feet 3 inches high, weighs 160 pounds
and is in perfect health". He has been
carrying the mail for two years and
three months.
One of the bridesmaids of an American girl married in London recentlj
gave a forget-me-not luncheon in
honor of the prospective bride. Por-
get-me-nots were arranged in the
shape of hearts aud true lovers' knots
npon the table, and all the decorations
were in the Color of the blue flowers
Each guest was provided with a clus
ter of the blossoms to wear. Forget-
me-nots were the principal flowers at
the wedding, and the bride presented
to her bridesmaids pins in the form of
the flower in blue enamel with a diamond dewdrop- glistening in the center.

her friend's engagement to the duke
of Deadbroke)—"l)id he first tell you
that he loved you,dear,and then speak
about tbe passionate yearning in his
heart, aud all that?"
Maud—"Why, no."
Clara—"Didn't he say something
about life's stormy ocean and about
his strong protecting arms that would
always shield you, and how, ever since
he beheld you, he had heen haunted
by your pleading eyes, and bis love
had gone out to you in a great passionate outburst? Didn't he say that
life without you would be a dreary
waste?"
Maud—"JTo; certainly not."

Origin of the Fan.
The Ghinese have a pretty legend in
regard to the invention of the fan.
Darusi, the beautiful daughter of the
great mandarin of tbe Flowery Kingdom, was bidden to an imposing fete,
whieh she attended masked, the custom of court etiquette.
Being unusually and uncomfortably
warm, in defiance of custom she tore
the mask from her face and with it
fanned her face vigorously. So beautiful was she that she was pardoned
this heinous offense, and her example
was speedily followed by others. The
hand fan thenceforth was adopted by
troth sexes. __
