PHYSICAL training is engaging the tion of young women everywhere, and the following is one of the latest and best exercises used by young women who aspire to a Delsarte training: Fill a large tub with water and place obliquely in it, so that the lower edge shall rest in the bottom ol the tub and the upper one lean against the opposite side, a corrugated piece of wood, covered with zinc. Thea take eome sort of cloth, souse in water and rub briskly on the board. A little soap will lessen the friction and render the exercise more gentle. And then, in order to put in use other portions of the spatem, after sousing and rubbing the cloth, take it out and twist it ontil all the water is expunged. The exercise is all the better if taken on Monday, HERE is some good seasonable advice from the Jamestown, (Pa.) Sentinel: "During the school days parents should be very careful of how they speak of teachers before the children.

If there 18 any fault 10 be found with a teacher by and parente, it should be ed of in private pot in the hearing of the children. They are wonderfol imitators and if they hear anything of the kind, they very naturally will do the same many times, injaring the teacher and the pupils most. Teachers, as a rule, are competent, or they would pot be employed. They have 8 great responsibility on their shonlders and parents should do all in their power to help. them fostead of to hinder.

Butler Citizen. Two young men of the world did a good businesa in Butler for the week ending with Wednesday of this week. They came here with money and fished for more and they got it--got something over $4,300 more. They wanted to buy a farm, and some strange intuition took them down to the farm of old Nicholas Mangel in Peon township.

Mangel showed them the farms of that vicinity, they showed him their money, and friendly relations were established. The young men stopped in Butler and Lired their rigs here and on Wednesday morning drove down to Mangel's and showed old Nicholas a game of cards- commonly called "three card monte." It was 3 new game to the old man and he was delighted with it, and his delight bloomed into ecstacy when they told him he had won $5,000 from them. Oh 1 what a game. But bold! The man who wins must show that he means business. That be could have poid had he lost.

He must "cover" the $5,000 with 000 more lo secure it. So they jamped into their buggies and drove to Butler, and Nicholas got $2,500 ol bis hard earned oil-royalty money from one bank and $2,500 of the same from another, and they drove back to the farm; and on the way the whole $10,000 was put in a nice tin box with a lock on it, and given to Nicholas, aud he took it home, and the young men drove back to Butler, put up their rigs and quickly disappeared. One of the bankers suspected fromMangel's manner that something was wrong, and after be paid him the money he followed him down to the Pittsburg bridge and saw him get into the buggy with the stranger, then he reported the matter to the police; and there was a hasty driye out to Mangel's, to basty that they passed the strangers on their way back to Butler. The box was broken open, it contained two bits of dirty wood wrapped in a paper, and a letter advising the old man not to gamble any more. When Mangel took his money from his coat pocket to put it in the box part -of itsome 8600-stuck to his pocket, and he ought to use a part of that in buying a newgpaper or two.

The money changed banda in the wood: on the other side of the second toll gate; Mangel walked the rest of the way home, and the two strangers drove to Butler. Mangel WaS 50 sure the $10,000 wes in the tin box that he at fret refased to let the officer open it, or even to come to Butler them. with Death of Geurge Tucker.

geese are moving JUST POURING IN. Two weeks ago we said to the people through the MESSENGER that we would have new buckwheat flour in the market before it would reach many of its readers. And true to our promise we placed buckwheat flour in every grocery store in Indiana, before very many people were aware that the season for buckwheat cakes was here. We have been tearing away, too, ever since in fact, just rushing things to fill the orders that have come pouring in from all quarters for our celebrated buckwheat flour, Grain of all kinds seems to be moving more freely now. Wheat, buckwheat, rye and oats are coming in quite brisk.

We find the buckwheat crop to be much larger and of a better quality than we were led to believe by many of the reports received just previous to its harvest. We are still in -the market for ten thousand bushels and will pay the highest market price the market will afford. Bring in your buckwheat early and don't wait until the season is over and then reflect on the mills for not being able to handle it after the season passed.

Knox Made Mappy, The heart of Rev. Knox, formerly pastor al the M. E. church of this place, but DOW of Beaver, has been made glad by a valuable gift from Senator Quay. The Senator and Rev.

Knox reside on the same block, in Beaver, and are close personal friends. It came to the attention of the Senator that Capt. Jobn Knox was the author of a book giving the history of the campaigns in North America for the years 1757, 1758, 1759 and 1760 and he resolved to purchase a copy, for Rev. Knox. The book was poblished in 1769 and has been out of print since 1869, and the task of securing a copy was a dfficult one, The Senator left his order with a Philadelphia antiquarian and after diligent search a copy Was procured in London.

It was rebound in the highest Artistic style in two volumes and shipped to Senator Quay at Beaver, who presented the sume to Rev. Knox, as stated. The author was the grandfather of Rev. Knox, NEVER use anything but light blankets for the beds of babies, children, or delicate adults.

Big, strong people can sleep on flint, but it is wisdom to keep the body dressed bight and day in loose material, so as to insure as perfect respiration for the skin as the lungs. The pores are breathing organs. There is decided warmth in quilts and comfortables, felt, skin rugs, leather, rubber and waterproof, but such draperies are bad, for the reason that, being impervious, they keep in the emanations from the body; blankets, on the other hand, are loosely woven, and being perforated allow the exbalations to pass througb. Delicate people, light sleeperg and sick persons are oppressed by the weight of unsanitary bedclothes, which often prevent them from getting any sleep. If those women who get up in the morning feeling exhausted and comfortables tired, will and shoddy blankets, substituting an al dispense with quilts and blanket and sheet, and leave the window open top and bottom, they will soon get rest and recuperation from sleep.

THE following from the Dayton Nerca would indicate that much drunkenness prevailed at the fair at that place: "Fair time has alwaye been characterized with more than the usual supply of intoxicante, but last week done them all up. For genuine audacity and unparalled boldness in the drunken fine, it was difficult to eclipse. Heretofore some little timidity was used in the imbibing of the ardent, but this time the more public the place the better. On the fair ground in the midst of women and children, on the streets of the town, standing on the sidewalks, sitting in hacks and buggies, indeed anywhere you might look, all in open day, you could see young men and old men drinking and under its influence. This seems a dark picture of affairs, but many witnesses can testify that it overdrawn." There were thousands more people at the Indiana fair than there were at Dayton, yet but very little drunkenness was observed; indeed it was a rare eight to see a drunk perSOD on our streets during the entire week of the fair, R.

N. THOMP3ON, who was at Chicago last week got home on Satarday night. He thinks the Fair a great success, and has the same opinion of the Chicago thief. He wanted a shave and seeing a respectable looking barber Abop, and the sign "Fifteen Centa for a went in and occupied one of the chairs. After the shaving operation was completed the affable barber asked him if he would have his neck washed.

He answered in the affirmative. He was then asked if he wouldn't have some bay rum and powder. Of course he did. When be got of the chair be was informed that bis bill W29 seventy cente. He paid it, bat concluded that a person can be robbed in Chicago without being sand-bagged.

TER Presbyterian church at Jacksonville, bad a narrow escape from destruction by fire on Sabbath last. During services some one on the ontaide discovered that the roof was on fire. The intelligence was conreyed to the preacher who aeked the congregation to retire for a short time. They did so and extinguished the flames after which services were resumed. The damage was slight.
