it ; : 1W: KOOSKVELT ON BEER. Theodore Roosevelt, the young member of the civil service com mission, was in Milwaukee and has gone again. When the com mission went to Schlitz's park Mr. Koosevelt declined to go into the theatre, saying that he would give more for five minutes under the trees than a whole evening of grand opera. So they sat down and talked of literature while drinking lager beer. "Do you know," said Mr. Roose velt, holding up his glass and look ing through the amber hued liquid, "that there is not a thought in a hogshead of beer, that there is not an idea in a whole brewery? I mean," continued the New York politiciad, "that nothing of merit was ever written under the inspi ration of lager beer. Ii stupefies without invigorating, and its effect tipon the brain is to stagnate thought. Do not imagine that I am a temperance orator. I am a temperance orator. I am simply comparing stimulants. Some of the brightest of literary efforts have been made while under the in fluence of spirituous liquor taken by the poor, overvverked author to avoid a complete physical and mental collapse. I shall wait to see if and man can write anything who has a drop of beer in his sys tem." Milwaukee Sentinel. FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. An old preacher, after service on Sunday, announced his reading lor the following Sunday. During the week some mischievous boys obtained his Bible and pasted two of the leaves together, right where he was to read. Sunday morning the aged divine opened his book and read as follows: '-And Noah took unto himself a wife who was" and here he turned the leaf uforty cubits broad, one hundred and forty cubits long." With a look of astonishment he wiped his glasses, re-read and verified the passage and then said "My friends, alshough I have read the Bible many times, this is the first time 1 have ever seen this passage, but I take it as another evidence of the fact that man is most wonder fully and fearfully made." N. Y. Mercury. THE NAVY YARD. It is understood that the selec tion of the site on Puget sound for a navy yard has been indorsed by the secretary of the navy. The yard which is to be established is to meet half way the improve ments in Great Britain's navy yard at Esquimalt, and will be the largest and finest in the country. It will be equipped with the fullest plant for ship-building and repair ing, and will, it is said, include ex tensive furnaces and forges for steel and iron works, and it is a matter of general congratulation that a navy yard is to be establish ed somewhere on this northwest coast as it will be of mutual aid and benefit. The Rev. Edward Everett Hale asks the legislature of Massaohu setts to grant the right to pension school teachers who have served fifty consecutive years. Were this done, the list of pensioners would Bot be a very long one. In the west there are comparatively few teachers of great age. The men usually grow weary of their calling and seek other employments and the ladies are retired on marriage certificates. Com. Gazette. A placard placed on a window ef a shoemaker's shop near Crip plegate, London, many years ago, is said to have read as follows: "Surgeiy performed on aged Boots and: Shues- broken Legs sett and bound upright disordered feet re paired the wounded heeled. The whole- Constitution- mended and the body supported, by a new Sole, By T. T." A CURE FOR DRUNKENESS. Children Cry for; Let the person have within his reach a small vial of the best kind of Peruvian bark, and when the craving for liquor comes on him let him take ateaspoonlul of the tinc ture every iwo hours.

It is to be found in every drug store, but it should be of the very best. A. Dana s Recipe. A gentleman in Craig county named Brickey has three children whose names are, respectively, Jailey Green Bird Mayflower Brickey, Oregon Texas Georgian na Brickey, and Molina Truxilla Eu taw Sebilla Teotater Brickey. Our informant, P. B. Abbott, assures us that theso are the names of the children as recorded in the family Bible, and that there is no joke about it. But the longest name yet announced is also borne by a Craig county man, John William Benjamin Leandcr Sinclair Calvin Philip Virgil Cicero Lee. On this we challenge competition. Times Register.
