Sketch of the Public Life of the Great American. BULL'S WAR CLUB. tbi CTitloaopher, Scicntlat. Author, But Patriotic Abovo Erery lit, Was Honotyicl Both nt Homo and Abroad. Benjamin Franklin, the auaiversury of whose birth occurs on the 17th of -January, was one of the representative American men of lys time, and one memory deserves to be honored oy the people of the United-States.

His career was remarkable and pi-ores that win its way under adverse -Aimstances when supported by ener- SJ and judgment. iVanlriin was born at Uoston, 17. 1700. His father was an intelligent and devout chandler of English birth. He was the fifteenth of a family -of seventeen children.

To keep- him g-oing- to sea, he was apprenticed ioj iis brother 3 arnes, a printer, and by arach reading-, careful and assiduous ivriting, together with the unassisted study of mathematics, lie acquired such knowledge and facility in writing that ne. ventured to print his thoughts upon public affairs in his brother's newspaper, the New England Courant. The discovery of their authorship led to a quarrel between the brothers. In 1723 he broke his indentures and yaa away, first to New York and to Philadelphia, where he found employment as a journeyman printer, lie visited England in 1735-20. After tus return to Philadelphia he married established the Pennsylvania and soon found himself a of the.

first consideration, not only la Philadelphia, but throughout the provinces, for his talents as a writer and his judgment in public and private affairs. He established the Philadelphia Library in 17-42, and the American Philo- '1C! P.n.,1 CLUB. BEXJAM1S FEAXKLLV.

K. S. in 1773 and re- ceived the Copley gold medal. In 1753 he was made Postmaster-Gen- 'Bral of the colonies, and several times served efficiently as commissioner to mother country and to the "various colonies. From St.

An- -drew's, Oxford and Edinburgh he re' the degree of LL. D. He did his best to prevent the revolutionary war by trying- to avert the injustice which BEKJAMIX It Went Thrnnsli All HaUU'x Dead Chief. The recent killing of Sitting- Bull, the famous Indian chief, recalls the fact that Mr. Max E.

Dickerson, of Shelby, 0., editor of the Shelby Five Press, i the proud possessor of this ar a chiefs i chib. Ivlr. Diok- secured the club from Klroy Post, a scenic artist in employ of the nion Pacific Railroad Corn- pan who it as a present from Sitt i fr Bull himself a 1 IVA.R- months ago. Mr. Post was doing some work for the railroad company at the time in and around Sitting Bull's headquarters, and the chief took great liking- to him.

bat would have nothing to do with the rest of the men, although there were six in the party. He took Mr. Post all through his camp, introduced him to different Indians, and made things as pleasant for him as possible. In return for his kindness Post painted for. Sitting Bull two large pictures of his two favorite ponies, Dry Camp and Never Fret, which so pleased the old chief that he said he would like to present him with something in return for the compliment.

Noticing a large war-club hanging up in the chiefs tepee, Mr. Post said he would like to have it. Sitting Bull mentioned the fact that the club was an old relic, had been in sen-ice over forty years, passed through.numero-ns battles, and because of its curiosity he would give it to him. Upon Mr. Post's to Aberdeen, D.

some months ago, he shipped the relic to Mr. Dickerson, who now has it on exhibition in one of the prominent business places of this city. A peculiar coincidence in connection with the shipping of the club was the fact that the very tram that brought the club to Shelby had aboard Sitting Bull, who was en route for Washington, D. The club is a vicious-looking weapon, about two and a half feet long, with a buffalo horn firmly secured in the club or heavy end, "and bears the signs of having seen a large amount of service. Mr.

Dickerson has the necessary credentials to prove conclusively that the clilb was the only one ever used by Sitting Bull, and that it is the one used by this chief during his career. Mr. Diekerson recently received two different communications from the Smithsonian Institution at Washington, D. relative to the purchase of the relic, but has not yet disposed of it. To better illustrate what an ugly weapon this war club looks like, the a.bove cut taken from a photograph will give a clear idea of it.

DRESS IN BURMAH. The Women IVim! Themselves in Strip of Silk. In Burmah the poorer classes usually wear but one garment, consisting of a single piece of colored cotton cloth about a yard and a half wide and of such a length that it can be wound around the chest or waist and fall to the ffifct. The women bind this strip cloth tightly around the bust under the arms, leaving the shoulders and neck bare, and the opening folds of the dress are at the front.

The chief admitted that he had intended raiding the villages on the banks of the Tyao river, but, being told it was British territory, he promised to abstain from doing so.

The higher classes of women have a short silk or cotton sacque which covers the shoulders and arms, and the better class wear the brightest of silks. Some of the ladies' dresses consisting of this single strip of silk cost hundreds of dollars, and sape of the fine silks of the world are nmde in Burmah. The men are as gorgeous in their costumes as the women. Their gowns are wound about the u-aist and tied in a big knot at the front. Most men wear a bright handkerchief tied around the head, and inside of this is put up their long hair.

The members of the graduating class of the Women's Medical CoUege, who will celebrate their commencement exercises in May next, have, according to the Philadelphia Press, been waging bitter war among themselves for some past as to whether a distinctive should be worn at the exercises or not. -They have been equally on the subject till within the past few days, but at last the yeas have and the graduates will receive their diplomas while clad in a gown of black; will be further distinguished by ithe regulation square Oxford College 'cap.

Within the last year a new trade has sprung up in India and attained extraordinary dimensions. In 1SS9 a German chemist, Dr. Sehlunk. discovered that excellent butter could be made from cocoanut milk. It is pleasant to both taste and smell, of a clear, whitish color, singularly free from acids, in every way a much better diet than the poor, cheap butter and oleomargarines of European markets.

The manufacture of this queer species of butter is carried on in Germany as well as in India, one German firm having turned out three thousand to four thousand kilo- grammes daily during all of the present year. The cocoanuts for this butter are imported into Germany from India, chiefly from Bombay, in large and increasing numbers, and the trade seems likely to attain still greater importance.

She spends her day in her cottage and is wheeled in a perambulator to the house of a neighbor every evening to sleep. Her husband, who was a shoemaker, died about thirty-five years ago, and she lias live alone ever since. A gentleman'who recently visited the old lady thus describes his call: "Is Mrs.

Morfew in?" I asked, and knocked gently at open door, Jfo answer. Thinking that there might be a back room to which the old lady had retired, I knocked again and again, each time louder than before. For some time all silent, and then suddenly the heap of; grayish clothes on the old tumble-down four-poster began to move, and some one said, in a faraway, unearthly voice: "Eh?" and once again, as somewhat staggered I remained at the door, "Eh?" Then from the tangled mass there rose a small head, with widow's cap pushed on one ear, with hair as white as the finest flax, and with a face of a million lines and wrinkles, but still with a little flush of life, not unlike an apple that has once been "pleasant to the eyes," but has now been "asleep" in'the straw for many days, and has become' shrivelled up and wrinkled. Tlio Queen's Daughters as It is not generally known, says a correspondent of the Leeds Mercury, that our Queen's daughters, in addition to being excellent needle-women, are also good cooks. they were children they had a little kitchen-of their own at Osbornc, where they concocted all kinds of dishes, sweots Tjeing naturally the Here they converted into jam the fruit out of their own gardens, and turned out many a savory dish for the delectation, 'of their brothers, all of whom had as excellent appetites as generally appertain to boys.

The uniform, when completed, will consist of a long gown of black, which will reach the floor, but not trail; angel sleeves, and a yoke around the neck will closely resemble the frilled collars which were so much in vogue during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The Oxford or mortar-board cap will be set jauntily on the back of the head, while the hair will be allowed to hang down the back.

The devotees of this scheme claim that the uniform will give a distinctive appearance to the graduating class which it has never-bef ore possessed, and their arguments have won many of the class to their way of thinking who were at first antagonistic to the -idea. The faculty, of the college are opposed to the uniform, but say that they will let the decision rest entirely with the class. Shoo Blacking andTCold Feet. "When the leather in your shoes becomes old and begrimed with blacking you will ascertain that the feet will be cold," remarked the old-time er. "Then it is time to cast aside the shoes and use them to wear beneath arctics'or for some other purpose.

I have.secn.it referred-to many times, but if you want to keep your shoes in good condition you should use vaseline on them often.
