The Ypsilanti Baptist church has a
new §2,500 organ. The instrument has
just arrived and will take a couple of
weeks to get set up and ready for service. The case which is of quarter

It is alleged that there was a lively
row between some dental students,Mon-
day afternoon, behind the dental build-
ing,in whichseveral coats were forcibly
torn off, and noise enough made to disturb the dead in the cemetery over half
a mile away. "Let us have peace."—

The Coldwater Sun says that Thomas
McKeown, of Jonesville, is so absent-
minded that he coulden't tell what his
name was the other day, and later he
forgot that he had taken his horse to
the blacksmith shop, and kicked up a
lively bobbery, believing the animal
had been stolen. Thomas is not a
drinking man.
Two Chinamen named respectively,
Ah Jew and Ah Him, were taken off the
Wabash train last Friday eveDing, by
Detroit detectives and loged in jail for
the night. Next morning they were
taken back to Detroit to answer for being unlawfully in the United States.
The arrests were made by Inspector
Smoke, and it looks smoky for the
Moqgolians—Adrian Press.
Jackson Courier-Star: About 3 o'clock
Sunday afternoon, a boy dressed in
light gray clothes, destroyed the mail
in the box at the corner of Lansing
avenue and Ganson street, The Smart
Alex did the job by putting a half dozen
matches into the box aad afterward
throwing a lighted match in. The
penalty for this crime is a fine of $500
and imprisonment for three years. The
authorities are investigating the matter, and every effort will be made to
bring the young culprit to justice.
A certain young man who has recently achieved the title of benedict, has an
extra marriiige liefjtise whieh he will
sell cheap. After purchasing it he became convinced that he could not use it,
for neither himself nor the -young lady
mentioned in the permit were residents
of the county wherein, the license was
secured. Xu conge'ejueuee a trip of filty
PflUeg via the livery route, on the day
of the wedding-, was necessary. The
feat was successfully accomplished,
and— " all's well that ends well."''—

Our merchants made quite a kick on
Tuesday when they found that the Weir
bridge was being taken away and the
Bridgewater farmers had no way of
reaching town without making a long
circuit. They wanted a temporary
bridge built while She new one was
under construction, but Supervisor
Burtless would not listen to it, at township expense, so they have to drive
through the river or go through the
fields. The new bridge will be finished
in a few days w'e hope.—Enterprise.
The Jackson Citizen gives the following episode in matrimonial brokerages that rivals the Randy June and
leftm Antlitt'e barter: "As the story
goes, there is a widower in the county
who greatly desired a helpmate. As
there was no available timber in his
locality, the sorrowing widower was in
a quandary. He finally, however, induced a neighbor to part with his wife,
which he did for §100 in cash and a two-
year old colt. The woman did not
object to the transfer, and went to her
new home with apparent pleasure.—
Brooklyn Exponent.
The world will never get above freaks
like the following according to the
present outlook: When Wilson, the
murderer of Mamie Walsh, jumped
the fence after his escape from Sheriff
Kelley, the sheriff marked the top rail
where he went over with a view to
having a starting point to put hounds
upon his track. The rail has since been
brought to Salem and made into walking canes, and the canes, with Sheriff
Kelley's knifemarks on them are in the
possession of several young men.—
Junction City Times.
Fred Barrett, aged 14, an employee
in the woolen mill, met with a serious
accident last Thursday afternoon. He
fell down the elevator shaft, a distance
of 55 feet and strange as it may seem,
not a bone was broken. His nose was
cut open lengthwise, a cut over each
eye and a large scalp wound exposing
the skull, seem to be the extent of his
injuries, He was taken to E. Palmer's
where his wounds were dressed hy Dr.
White. That evening he was removed
to the home of Mrs. Kate Sutfin. It
seems a miracle that he was not killed
instantly. The fall produced conoussion

A Giant Human Hand.
Upon the east side of North Seventh
street, about midway between Poplar
street and Girard avenue, stands a
strikingly curious tree,-which attracts
the attention of every passerby. It
stands just in front of a stable yard, and
the employees of the place say that
dozens of people come to them every
week and make remarks or ask questions about the strange growth. From
the Thickness of the trunk at the base
the tree is probably ahout forty years
old, but its branches and foliage are new
and fresh and look as though they were
but the growth of a year or two. The
trunk runs straight from the ground to
a height of about fifteen feet.
Above this for a short distance is a
thick globular mass of foliage, the leaves
appearing to grow directly out of the
the wood. Above this growth run np
three thick stalks or stumps, six or
eight feet high, also covered with a
dense, close mass of foliage. When the
tree is viewed from the north side it
presents a startling resemblance to a
giant human hand protruding from the
earth. The three big stumps at the top
represent the three middle fingers, and
upon either side of these can easily be
seen configurations of the surrounding
foliage which correspond to the little
finger and thumb.   -
The explanation of the phenomenon is
a curious one. The tree was once full
grown and vigorous, but was attacked
hy blight or some other disease, and the
dead trunk was pruned down to its present proportions, whereupon the present
new growth developed.—Philadelphia
Inquirer.
Butte's Hermit Miser.
In the western part of town and near
the village of Burlington there is a
stra-age character who excites no end of
comment by his peculiar actions. He is
the owner or leaser of a mine, the shaft
of which is about fifty feet in depth.
This strange individual works the mine
all hy himself, and to the people whom
he meets he is an enigma. He steadfastly refuses to be interviewed, and
although prospectors on neighboring
mines have made repeated efforts to
even get a salutation from hiin they
have signally failed.
Every morning as regular as clockwork he descends into the mine by
means of the ladder, and remains there
until evening. Occasionally he is seen
to hoist a bucket of waste, and it is presumed that fais action is made necessary by the fact that he is driving a
crosscut single handed and alone, and
gets cramped for want of room..
But the most peculiar thing in connection with this singular man is his
manner of worlang. Every two weeks
he changes 6bSf'.,s and works during the
nighttime for two weeks, to change at
the end of that time to two weeks' day
shift. Some of the miners who were in
that locality believe that the man is an
old time miner who has become so accustomed to working two weeks night and
two weeks day that he cannot overcome
the habit.—Butte. Inter Mountain.
they should be soaked in a tub of water
heated as much as the flesh will endure.
To every half pailful of this hot water
add apiece of nitrate of potassium ahout
the size of a small walnut. This can be
obtained at any drug store. The feet
should be treated to this hath about
twice a week, bnt if considerable walking is done and the feet continue sore,
the bathing should he more frequent.
Women as well as men will find this
nseful in. hot weather, and even the professional tramp would find relief from
his pains in this way.—Yankee Blade.
A Smart "Dog.
Mrs. Roberts, of Waterville, Me., owns
a dog which is entitled to rank with any
of them iu point of intelligence. During
an absence of the owner from home the
dog was left in care of neighbors, who
in turn went on a vacation, taking the
animal with them. This was not agreeable to his dogship, and he started
overland from one of the coast towns
in Knox county for home. Night overtook Hm at Liberty, and he went to
the Sanford House, like any traveler,
to put np. His collar revealed his identity, and he was properly cared for and
in the morning sent on his way rejoicing, reaching home in due season.—Bangor Commercial.

Improved Ventilation.
An improved system of ventilation has
been introduced in the great hall of the
new Sorbonne in Paris, the principle resorted to being that of maintaining the
walls at a higher temperature than that
of the air which they inclose. In order
to accomplish this, a mixing chamber is
located beneath the auditorium, and hot
and cold air are mixed to the temperature desired; the air is forced into the
auditorium through a great number of
small holes in the floor and in front of
the seats, the openings being covered by
a wire netting. Before the entrance of
an audience the walls are thoroughly
warmed by forcing air heated to 200
degs. into a conduit which delivers the
air into a space behind the moulding and
close to the floor. The wall is thus
heated to a temperature of 100 degs.—a
temperature -which, b}* radiation, will
keep the audience comfortable—at the
same time ventilating the hall -with air
at 60 degs., derived from the mixing
chamber. All downward cold drafts are
thus prevented, the currents of air all
being upward, owing to the heated surface.—New York Sun.
Artistic Auto-Suggestion.
I recollect that at the dress rehearsal
of ''Hamlet*' M. Mounet-Sully was late.
The stage was waiting. I sent' to have
him summoned hy the call boy. He returned in a moment and told me that M.
Mounet-Sully could not come down from
his dressing room then becanse his costume was not quite ready. "What! It
was finished a week ago, that costume.
It was tried on and worn. It is complete and perfect." Yes, the costume
was complete, but under his doublet M.
Mounet-Sully wore braces, and at the
last moment he had considered that he
must have black ones—mourning braces
—because Hamlet was dressed from
head to foot in the trappings and the
suits of woe. Those lower strata of
costume had annoyed him. "The public
would not see them, hut I should see
them." This was not the auto-suggestion of Talma, hut the sentiment comes
from the same need—the need for the
artist to believe himself the character he
plays, the hero he represents.—Jules
Clarette in North American Review.
