few days. Taking it into consideration all

the interests of our government in Cuba

a mere matter of curiosity in comparison.

A very pleasant surprise party was

lowing officers were re-elected: Charlie
Frankhaiiser, president; Raleigh Karr, vice
president; Albert Fanktiauser, secretary;
John Wise, treasurer; Hiram Daniels,
librarian; Mathilda Kanne, organist.
The Evangelical class held their annual

school; Charlie Fankhauser, assistant
superintendent; Kaleigb Karr, secretary;
Maude Former, treasurer; Rebecca Wise
was elected librarian; Emma Sturcbler was

library; and Mathilda Kanne, organist.
The pastor, in announcing the election, in
vited all interested to be present and par
tic pate in the election of Sunday school
ofiioers.
Thus far we have failed to have a post-
office established here. The failure is due,
it fs said, to s statement being forwarded to
the department, that an office here would
accommodate only about 40 people. While
we have not made an actual count of the
number, we think there would beat least
125 people benefitted by an office in this
place. Mr. Payne intends to carry the
matter farther.
Damascus Notes.

New Year has began end who knows
what it has in store for the readers of
this item, it is well said that the Lord
helps those that help tliemsalyes and so
with prosperity but the indications are
that the people are bavins; better chances
to help themselves than they have had
the past four years.
The Christmas trees were both a de
cided success and much credit Is due to
those that made them a success.
The dance Christum Eve at tho grange
hall was a decided success in every way
showing that a dance could he conducted
to reflect credit upon the community
when being properly managed.
Damascus grange had a grand New
Year's dinner Saturday, a literary pro
gram was given and the officers were
installed before the public.
The Union literary and debating socloty
is not having the patronage it is worthy
of having.
The Rock Creek Sunday school Is pro-
greasing smoothly. Last Sunday being
the election of officers, a larger turnout
seemed to have been the result. It
seems a mystery that we could out have
so much interest every Sunday.

ambitions, elected to give a reception,
lbs affair wut to be very exclusive,
Judge of the surprise wbeu a bundle of
invitations was left at the door of a
hospital in towu upou whose board of
managers Mrs. Z. serve. The invlta
tions were found to bo addressed to tho
trained nurses of the institution, and
great wits the wonder thnt the profes
sional ranks had been invaded for to
oiety recruits.
A few days elapsed, and Mr Z. paid
a visit to tho hospital. Milking herself
extremely agreeable, sho remarked to
tho nursva:
"Well, girls, I hope you received
tarda to my reception?"
Smiles and acknowledgments answer
ed in tho affirmative, and Mrs. Z, went
on complacently:
"Indeed, I was only too glad to re
member you all. I appreciate how much
work and how little play'' you girls
have, and I thought you would enjoy a
little glimpse of society fun."
"No doubt of it, Mr. Z.,M one of
tho nurses spoke op, "but none of us
are likely to have gowns suitable to
wear at such a function. " t
"Oh, that need not trmiblo yon lu
tho least, " returned tho smiling Mrs.
Z. "Now, my idea is this. Of course I
understand you have uo evening gowns
aud that you know very few society
people, but these facts must not inter
lere witn your getting a peep at my
guests and euting some of my supper,
thought the whole thing would be si in
putieft il you all came in your pretty
uniforms and caps and took up your
stations in tho dressing rooms, lou
would only have to assist tho ladies
with their wrups, and you could see the
gowns to such good advantage, aud"
But such a chorus of iudignant ex
cliimatioa rent the air at that juncture
that Mrs. Z. s sentence was never com
pleted. 1 The social veneering must be thickly
coated on Mrs. Z., for to this day sin
does not seem to tuidcrstind why the
nurses meet her advances with frigid
indifference aud why her visits to the
hospital are uo longor jjleumuit, Well

Burning Women,
The horrible punishment of burning
women alive teems to have existed in
Saxon England, but perhaps only lu
the case of slaves. Under the Norman
rulers any woman, bond or free, who
killed her husband wns burned alive,
and tho same punishment for this crime,
and also for high treason and even for
coining and other minor offenses, con
tinued or arose from time to time
through the second and third periods
until it was abolished by act of parlia
sieut in 1790. tho lust actual execution
uf this kind having, however, taken
place six years earlier. The whipping
of women for various offenses continued
even later. Public whipping waa not
abandoned qntil 1817. and cases of pri
vate whipping occur as late as 1820.
There can be no doubt, we think, that
the savage human instinct of cruelty
bad something to do with the barbarous
punishments above mentioned. As the
old Roman publio longed for the car
nnge of the circus, as the Spanish popu
luce crowded to the auto-du-fe in the
flourishing days of the inquisition, so
the lower (pcrtmps not only the lower)
strata of English uutionulity took de
light in witnessing tortures which, in
all probability, wero devised aud kept
np partly for their entertainment. Mr.
Cleveland tells as thut Judge Jeffreys,
in sentencing a woman to be whipped,
is reported to have said:
"Ilatigmun, 1 cliargo you to pay par

"I am so glad you like it. I was
