181 2t Stretton, the eminent engineer, says that a locomotive of the present type can be run only the least trifle faster than eighty miles an hour.

If tbey have a little change that, they could lay away they most either carry It around In their pockets where it is liable to be lost or else put it in a bureau drawer at home. In either case it is more likely also to be spent for when a young man has money in his pocket and sees something he would like to have he will oftentimes buv it before it occurs to him that he must pay for it out of his sav logs. Temptations to spend money are. so strong that nine persons out of ten are unable to save a cent. Right here the question arises, how can you help it.

Why, by having a savings bank in the city. That is the correct answer. There are men here who couia open a savings bank and make it a sue cess. It would prove a blessing to every young man and woman in the city for there they could make a deposit every day, week or month of any amount they could spare from their earnings or allowance, no matter how large or small Their savings there would be in trustworthy hands and safe keep ing and 'it would only be a short time until the great benefits of a savings bank would be thoroughly appreciated. Let such an Institu tion be established here and people would save money who never could do it before.

Said a physician I am asked sometimes whether the practice of chewing gum is an aid to digestion I should say it was not, but there is one thing the decidedly objec tion able practice is good for. A person who is. subject to bleeding from the nose should keep some gum in his pocket, and when he feels an attack coming on com mence chewing vigorously. Nine times out oi ten the increased ac tivity of the facial muscles will avert the bleeding. If he is not able to adopt the preventive let him try it as a remedy and he will generally find it a success.

Gum is better than tobacco, as It will stand more active and aggressive chew ing mere are some very odd superstitions about the weather and some or them seem to have some foundation. A man who Is posted on weather signs said the other day: There Is one superstition that I have herd ever since child hood. It is that, however gloomy and dull it may he on Wednesday, the sun is sure to show itself, if only for a few minutes, as Wednesday was the day on which it was created. Whenever I have noticed it has been so, and it is certainly a curious coincidence." Church Notes.

lS3tf WARN1NGI Democrats, be on your guard. Re publicans are circulating the basest of falsehoods about the Democratic can didates with the hope of defeating a part or all of ticket, and thus kept the control of the county. They are offering to trade with 1 Democrats, and at the same time, urging members of their own party, through the press and privately, to "stand" solid for the Republican ticket" and they will get enough democratic votes to carry the county. Will democrats permit such a defeat? Don't 'scratch" your ticket and ieonardize the chances of 'demo cratic success. The Republicans de cieved the people four years and two years ago with their cry 'href orm," buncombe" and they certainly have no claims upon the aemocrats tnis year.

They have ignored every pro mise made four ryears ago, put are again presuming upon the charity of the democratic voters to give them a further lease of power that the county offices may be in republican hands and used advantageously In the Presiden tial contest to be made in 1892. Democrats', do your whole duty. The republican candidates who are begging you for votes to day, will fight you like tigers in two years if you en courage them with your support now. Give the entire democratic ticket an enthusiastic and unbroken support, and then come in and join a grand, old fashioned blaze of democratic joy after the election. Amusement Notes.

rOWEU OF THE AVKS Some Day Thl Pver Will DHt On Cara and Factories. From experiments made at Bell Rock and Sherry vole lighthouses on the coast of it was found that while the force of the breakers on the side of the German Ocean mar be taken at about ten and a half to every square foot of exposed surface, the Atlantic side throws breakers with double that force, or three' tons to the square foot; "thus a surface of oolf two square yards sustains a blow from a heavy Atlantic breaker equal to 64 tons. Recently a heavy gale blew for three days and nights at Sherryvole, washing out blocks of limestone and granite of three and five tons' weight as easily as if they had empty egg shells; in some cases thrown? them entirely over tlie breakwater at Plymouth. Over 800 tons of such bloci 8 were washed 800 feet up the inclined bevsh after being thrown over the breakwaUr and scattered about in various One block of limestone, estimated to be of .15 tons' weight, was moved over 150 feet rbm a place in the surf, where it had been firmly grounded since 1697. it having first been enrolled in sight bj the awful gale of the "Windy ChrLjir inaa" of that year.

Ui Botli Hand. Like most forms of healthful exercise, there are little pointi about bowling which are overlooked by most of its ol lowers" Ninety nine bowlers out of every hundred use "only one arm continuously. As a consequence, that one arm is developed to a much' greater extent than tha one used. Eight handed bowlers seldom think of changing off and trying their left hand, and left Landed bowlers seldom use thsir right Such a change tras suggested to a party of bowlers recently and the result was funny; Not one of them knew how to handle the iall with their "off" arm, and in a majority of cases they slammed the sphere down on the alleys and had no control over its course toward the pinst A little practice soon developed decided improvement and the little party agreed to bowl at least one game "left handed every time they came together. It may not be entirely attractive to bowl in this awkward fashion, but in the end the result will justify the first unpleasantness.

Ambtw Amber was regarded by the ancients as altogether mysterious and even magical' They found that it was rendered electrical by friction so as to attract light substances, and our word "electricity" comes from the Greek name for amber, which was "electron. A avor i ite puzzle with them was how the insects so frequently found inclosed in amber came to be so situated. I have myself seen a chunk of very transparent amber in which a small lizard with five legs was encased, looking as if it might have been alive yesterday, though doubtless it had been dead for thousands of years. The mystery of this sort of phenomenon is easily enough explained when it is understood that amber is actually the fossil gum of an extinct kind of cone bearing tree. In the process of hardening it imprisoned the flies and other creatures preserved in the chunks of it that are found to day.

The A curious meeting was held in Bombay, India, recently. The Hindu barbers convened a monster gathering to consider the impropriety of shaving widows' heads. One of the speakers said that a curse seemed to have fallen upon the barbers, for instead of being flourishing they had become very poor. This was only to be accounted for by the fact that they were committing a great sin in shaving widows' heads. It was against Hindu Scripture to deprive a widow of her hair, and doubtless it was the curse of the widows that had lowered their calling.

Thereupon the meeting unanimously resolved that any barber shaving a widow's head should be excommunicated. Mortar Balla. There is no hod carrying in Japan, writes a correspondent from Tokia The natives have a method of transporting mortar which makes it seem more like play than work to an Three men were repairing the roof of a one story building the other day by resetting the heavy black tiles in mortar. The mortar was mixed in a pile on the street One man made this up into balls of about six pounds' weight, which he tossed up to a man who stood on a lad der midway between the roof and the ground. This man deftly caught the ball, and tossed it up to the man who stood on the roof.

This was playing ball to good purpose. Without ran. A good story is told of a famous college president a clergyman ad dressing the students in the chapel at the beginning of the colfee year, said, in conclusion: It ia matter of congratu lation to all the friends of the college that this year opens with the largest Freslunxn Ciass in its history. And then, without any paue, he turned to the Scripture lesson for the day, the third psalm, and began reading in a voice of thunder, "Lord, how they are increased that trouble mel" At tbe Telephone. The Queen of' Belgium indulges her Ioe of music to the extent of having a telephone connected with the princi pal theater fixed in her private room.

During a rehearsal recently the exclamations of 4he conductor, enraged by a wnnt of accuracy and tone on the part of the orchestra, produced a call at the telephone: "Pardon me, but the queen is listening. Can't the rehearsal go on without Asphalt Coverloe. In Germany water pipes are being made of class with asphalt covering, to prevent fracture. It' is claimed that they give thorough protection against moisture in the earth, against the action of acids and alkalies, and that they can not be penetrated by gases.
