An Ovid girl sent 25 cems for a receipt to whiten her hands, and her
mother is said to have been greatly
pleased when her daughter received
the following: "Soak tbem in dishwater."

According to law every member of
the state legislature has a right to appoint two students from his district
who will be admitted to the Normal
School on the same condition as other
candidates except thatthey are exempt
from the payment Of term fees. During the past year out of the 132 legisla
tive officials, 131 made 220 out of a possible 264 appointments.—Argus.
Eight candidates for the republican

Another Ohio man is now in the race
for the Presidency. His predecessors
were: William H. Harrison, in 1S40;
H. S. Grant in 1S6S; It. B. Hayes, in
1S76; James A. Garfield in 1SS0; Benjamin Harrison, 18S8. Although Grant
and Benjamin Harrison hailed from
other states when nominated, both
were natives of Ohio. Time alone will
tell what luck Wm. MeKinley will
have.—Commercial.
It was oa June 14,1777, that the.Continental Congress adopted the following resolution: "That the flag of the 13
states be 13 stripes alternate red and
white—that the union be 13 stars, white
in a blue field, representing a new constellation." This was the official notice
that an American flag had been adopted. The first flag was made by Mrs.
Betsy Ross in Philadelphia. The first
flag contained the 13 stars in a circle,
but as new states were added it became
necessary to arrange them in straight
lines. To-morrow (ihe.glorious Fourth)
another star, that represonting'TJtah,
Will be added to the constellation, ard
the new flag with the 4-5 stars, will he
hoisted on every flagstaff at all military posts throughout this glorious coun
try of ours. The stars will he placed in
six rows, three containing eight stars
and three seven.—Ex.
Last Sunday morning during the
heavy thunder shower, lighting struck
the southeast corner of Justice Doyle's
house and ran all around, setting it on
fire in various places, but the flames
were extinguished before any damage
was done, and before the fire department arrived, although the boys were
on hand promptly. The Judged who
was sitting quietly reading hy his fav-
orise window in the southwest part of
IheTiouse, was considerably shocked to
he;n- or-the lightning's attack on his
residence, but recovered shortly. 'Tis
said th st the lightning came as near
the venerable Justice as it dared to.
Had the squire been placed in the south
east corner just previous to the strike,
nnd. there stood a just and upright
judge, the house might have •been
saved from the stroke, but as no life
was sacrificed and no material damage,
it matters not.—Milan Leader.

The Blue Ribbon Meeting
The Detroit Driving Olub,*th rough
its n cently elected treasurer, Matthew
Riley of New York city, has invited
Hon. Lawfo i N. Fuller, to be the guest
of the Club during the coming Blue
Ribbon Meeting. Mr. Lawson, who
is now some eighty years of age, has a
reputation in coaching matters not confined to the East, for he was the first lo
drive a six-in-hand a full mile in three
minutes, each animal having been
raised, broken, trained and driven by
himself. Should Mr. Lawson accept
the invitation, and bring his famous
six-in-hand to Detroit he will be the
recipient of the most flattering attention on the part of the public. Frank
Word, who with one team or another,
has been a prominent figure upon the
boulevards of New York for the past
f6rty years, has also been tendered an
invitation by Mr. Riley, and may bring
along his present fine team, Mayhall
and Sea Girl. Robert Bonner and
other gentlemen well known as trotting enthusiasts are said to be planning
to be in Detroit at the time of what has
been generally heralded as the greatest trotting meeting of the year.
Michigan has a prospective champion in the 8-year-old pacer Dan Q.
whose record of 2:11} made in a winning race at Chicago, is tbe best
this year, for colts of that age. He is
a quick, trappy gaited, but smooth going little fellow, standing scarcely 14
hands high, and is as level-headed as
he is fast. He was bred and owned by
Simmocolou Stock Farm Ypsilanti,
being sired by the former good cam-
paigner Simmocolon 2:13§. Dan Q.
will have a large field against him in
his race at the Blue Ribbon Meeting
which ccmes on the opening day, Saturday July 18. As th,e, world's record
for 3-year old paqeps stands at 2:09i it
is not improbable that Dati Q, will be
able to secure champion honors over
the track at Gross Point.
A WINDOW   IN   BERN.
tlow tlio Swiss Maidens Pass Many n Pleasant Afternoon.
The wide window sills on the third
floor are laid ont, not for flowersy but,
in no less characteristic Bern fashion,
for Iranian occupation. A stout iron rail
runs, at a comfortable height for resting
•shoulders, round the ledge, on which lie
red cushions. Settled in a corner of this
high perch sits a young woman, like
hundreds of her fellow townsfolk, looking down npon the world, knitting,
singing and gossiping by turns in the
leisure hour of afternoon and thrpugh
the long twilight of the summer evenings.
Somehow there is a fascination in this
Bern habit of perching on the window
sill. It grows on the sitter with use.
That brown haired young woman, f or
instance, wonld be hard put to it to live
at all without her window cushions.
She is an inveterate chatterbox, but it is
difficult to be hard on her when one
overhears her rapid French, her laughter and her sallies pn her neighbors he-
low. She is a Neufchateloise or a Gene-
voise, and the words run off her tongue
right prettily, in contrast to the brusque
sound of the quaint Bern-Deutsch. She
is blessed with a ringing laugh, too, and
carols French songs, partly to herself
and partly, five parts out of six, at a
young mau engaged in a second floor
bureau. He appears at the window usually when the singing begins. She has
been seen to scatter crumbs from the
shaken tablecloth over his upturned
countenance It may have been accident, but it looked like coquetry. The
song goes on, trilling clear and loud
through the drowsy calm, and the student leans far out, to look at the window
next to Ms own, not from curiosity-
nothing there is uoveWbut some familiar sights are good to look at every day.
Therp. js little enough to see, too, even
if it were a novelty-^a "box green with
garden herbs, parsley, thyme, mint and
.marjoram, two or three pots with common forest ferns and some chrysanthemum cuttings.—Speaker.
What the Alabama Did,
In the war hetween the northern and
southern states, which Taged in America
during 1861-5, we have the only instance in which steam, cruisers have
been employed on any scale to harry
commerce. The south had no commerce
to he attacked, hut the north had a
large and prosperous merchant marina
From first to last the south sent 11
steam cruisers and 8 small sailing cruisers to sea. These captured between
them 2 steamers and 261 sailing
ships—not a very heavy hill of loss, one
would think. Yet this loss practically
drove the United States flag from the
seas. To prove this, I will quote from
the case Of the United States, as pre^
sented to the Geneva arbitrators, the
following facts: "In 1860 tWo-tMrds of
the commerce of New York was carried
on in American bottoms. In 1863 three-
fourths was carried oil in foreign bottoms." And the transfers from the
United States to the British flag were
enormously large. They were:
Ships. Tons.
1861 , 126    71,073
1862 135     74,578
1863 ...348    252,579
1864 106 92,052
War ended in April, 1865.
The mediocre Alabama, a single
small and ill armed ship, was the
cause of most of this loss. There were
no doubt other contributing factors,
but the effect of her career is plainly
marked in the sudden increase of transfers during 1863, when she was at sea.
After she had been sent to the bottom
Yankee skippers recovered their breath.
The trade, however, had departed, and
the United States has never regained
the position which it held in 1860 as a
shipping nation—Nineteenth Century.
