The Germans of the United
States have selected October 6th
as the day of the landing of the
first German in this country, and
propose hereafter to celebrate
it.
A young lady of Columbus, Ga.,
has made a crazy quilt out of
Louisiana state lottery tickets that
failed to "connect" with the prize
wheel. The numbers are worked
in silk of beautiful colors.
A French physician reports
.cases in which the usual incuba
tion period of measles twelve to
fourteen days seems to have
been considerably exceeded. In
two cases the disease appeared at
least twenty .days alter expous
ure, and in the third case in nine
teen days.
A published card thanking their
friends for their services in the
sickness and death of a relative is
decidedly out of taste, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean, and is now
followed only in the back-woods
countries. If a man's friend can
not wait on him in sickness and
bury him after death without be
ing publicly thanked for it, they
are very poor friends indeed.
Oommon humanity should teach
all people to visit the sick and
bury the dead, w-thout any ex
jactation of reward or a display of
gratitude through the columns of
a newspaper.

: Burning and Itching-
I was sick in the fall of 1SSS with a burn
ing and itching so bad that iu three weeks
was covered with a rash, and .could uot
sleep nights or Work days. Home doctors
thought it might be spit rheum (eczema),
audsaid they had never seen anything like
it before. I received no help from any of
them, or from any medicine that I could
pet hold of until I tried your Cuticura
Remedies. After thiee weeks' use I was
able to work, and kept getting better, until
I am now entirely cured. 1 recommend
them to all suffering with skin dise-i3es.

THE FRONT GATE.
An old and crippled gate am I,
And twenty years have passed
Since I was hung up high and dry
Betwixt these posts so fast;
But now I've grown so powerful weak
Despised by man and beast
I'm Scarcely strong enough to squeak,
Although I'm never greased.
'Twas twenty years ago, I say,
When Mr. Enos White
Came kind o' hanging round my way
'Most every other night.
He hung upon my starboard side
And she upon the other,
Till Susan Smith became his bride,
And in due time a mother.
I groaned intensely when I heard
Despite I am no churl
My doom breathert in a single word;
The baby was a girl!
Aud as she grew and grew and grew,
I loud bemoaned my fate;
For she was very fair to view,
And I I was the gate.
Then in due time a lover came,
Betokening my ruin,
A dapper fellow, Brown by name,-
The grown-up baby wooin.
They sprang upon me in the gloam,
And talked of moon and star?
They're married now and live at homo
Along with ma and pa.
My lot was happy for a year,
No courting night or day
I had no thought, I had no fear,
Bad luck would come my way.
But Oh! this morning, save the mark!
There came a wild surprise,
A shadow flitted, grim aud dark.
Across my sunny skies.
A doctor, with a knowing smile,
A nurse with face serene,
A bustle iu the house the while,
Great Scott! what can it mean?
My hinges ache; my back is weak,
My pickets in a whirl;
1 hear that awful doctol speak;
4 It is auother girl.
Burdette en Women.
What would I do
it I
were a
woman?
I wouldn't try to be a man.
Cut that out and paste it on your
looking-glass, daughter, and it will
bean ornament of grace unto thy
head and chains about thy neck
many times a day.
I wouldn't shudder and groan,
every time the name of the
Monster was? mentioned, but I
would studiously avoid acquiring
the lightest of his many ac
complishments and the best of his
manifold ways.
I would neverlearu to lay a fire
in range or fireplace.' Every time
I touched a fire, summer or winter,
I would put it dead out. Then I
would never be expected to make
one.
The first loaf of bread I baked I
would let drop on .the dog and
kill him. Then I'd never be asked
to bake bread again, and I'd get a
new dog.
When I descended into the
laundry, I would manage to bring
out all the fancy flannels white as
gnosis, ana an tne while skirts as
blue as the skies of June. Then
I'd never be asked to assist at the
washtub again.
I would pinch "every baby that
was given me to hold, black and
blue in halt a dozen places before
it could catch its breath enough to
shriek, and I would frighten - the
life or tease the temper out of
anybody's children whom ; I wras
asked to amuse. Then I'd never
be troubled with other people's
young ones, and nobody would
never ask me to teach the infant
class while the tired teacher took
a vacation.
If I had to sit on the front seat
when asked to drive, I would carry j
a large . sun umbrella and gouge
the driver's eyes out and - iuu the
team into a fence corner the rst
mile out. Then I'd get the back
seat on tha shady side every time
afterward.
I would always sit sideways in a
street car. Then I would have
plenty of room.
I would wear a carriage dress in
the street car if I had no other
place to show it off.
I would smash something choice
and expensive every time I ; swept

Pitcher's Castcria.
a room or dusted a parlor.
Then
such
I'd never be asked to do
work.
In church I would never
rise
during the singing and never
kneel during prayers. Then peo
ple would notice me and say,
''Who is that pretty girl with such
lovely eyes?" '
At the theatre I-would wear the
biggest hat obtainable.
At cricket and lawn-tennis
matches I would sit in the front
row and raise my parasol.
I would cultivate such chaiming
helpless, such hopeless innocence,
such pretty, childish ignorance,
such fascinating dependence, such
dainty baby ways that people
would say, "Oh, we must take
care ot her, she doesn't - under
stand these things." Then all my
life long I would be petted and
coddled and fondled and cared for
in a thousand different way, where
more independent women have to
'hustle" for themselves.
jjiat is, daughter, if other
women would care for such a
sweet little bit ot helplessness.
Maybe they would. You know
better than I do how women re
gard that sort of a woman.
But, you can gamble your peace
of mind, your love of ease and all
your enjoyments of life that the
Monster Man wouldn't torment
the solitude of such a woman with
his presence longer than a day or
t wo, and she would thus be spared
one ot the greatest annoyances to
which mankind is subjected.
A GOOD "MORREL" TOWN.
A Boston woman wrote to the
mayor of a new town in Wyoming,
asking him for information regard
ing the state of society in his town,
as she contemplated going there
for the benefit of the health of her
children. On receiving liis reply
she concluded to remain in Boston
for awhile longer. The mayor
wrote:
"As for sowciety, it is bang up.
This is a mity morrel town, con
sidering that there's sixty-nine
saloons to a popylation of "2,000.
But every saloon has a sign up
saying: 'All fitin' must be done
outside. No killin' allowed in
This Room.' Two men has been
killed since Monday and to-morrow
is Wednesday. Cheating at gam
bling is punishedby lynching and
every effort is being made to
put the town on a good moral
basis. Ladies is universslly re
spected and I sell them beer at
half price when they buy at my
place. There is a grand sacred
concert and free dance here ev'ry
Sunday night, and preaching every
Sunday that the pastor don't have
ter stay to home on account of the
big rush at his Bowling Alley.
Don't hezzitate about coming here
on account of sawciety. This is a
morrel town.".
HE MADE THE FIRST THIMBLE.
There is a rich family of the
name of Lofting in England, the
fortune of "whose house was found
ed by such an apparently insig
nificant thing as a thimble. The
first ever 6een in England was
made in London less than two
hundred years ago by a metal
worker named John Lofting. The
usefulness of the article com
mended it at once to all who used
the needle, and Lofting acquired a
large fortune. The implement
was then called the thumbell, it
being worn on the thhmb when in
use, and its shape suggesting the
rest, of the name. This clumsy
mode of utilizing it soon, changed,
however, but the name, softened
into thimble remains. Public
Opinion.
i
A TRILLION KISSES.
The case of the Florida man
who had his love letters produced
and read in court should teach
other lovers moderation in the
matting of osculatory contracts.
In a single postscript the
Florida man undertook to deliver
to the lady of his choice no less
than 1,000,000,000,000 kisses.
And as such contracts are not in
frequently made in love letters, it
may be well to give a thought to
the magnitude of the undertaking,
sa3rs the Boston Globe.
Whoever will take the trouble
to figure it out will find that, even
if this amorous southerner should
give the lady 15,000 kisses a min
ute (and we affirm that no person
could hope to-do more than that),
and even if he could keep up this
rate of osculation twenty-four
hours a day, never pausing to eat,
sleep or take breath, working 365
days every year, it would take
him more than 100 years to com
plete the contract; and by that
time, it is painful to reflect, the
ardor of his love may have cooled
Even at the age of 100 years,
counting 15,000 kisses a minute,
there would remain an undelivered
balance of more than 200,000,-
000,000, a number which in itself
might well appall the most indus
trious.
CONSUMPTION OF TIMBER.
To make shoe pegs enough for
American use consumes annually
100,000 cords of timber, and to
make lucifer matches, 300,000
cubic feet of the best pine are re
quired every year. Lasts and
boot-trees take 500,000 cords of
birch, beech and maple, and the
handles of tools 500,000 more. The
baking of bricks consumes 2,000,
000 cords of wood, or what would
cover with forest about 50,000
acres of land. Telegraph poles
already up represent 800,000 trees,
and their annual repairs consume
annually thirty years' growth of
75,000 acres and to fence all the
railroads in the United States
would cost $45,000,000 with a
yearly expenditure of $15,000,000
for repairs. These are some of the
ways 'which American forests are
going. There are others: packing
boxes, tor instanee, costs in 1874
$12,000,000, while the timber used
each year in making wagons and
agricultural implements is valued
at more than one hundred mil
lion dollars.
AN UNFORTUNATE WINNER.
Carl Hendricks arrived in Port
land on Saturday last from New
Orleans, en route for Victoria. B.
B., in a very unhappy frame of.
mind, at which none will wonder.
Early last month he bought .a
quarter ticket in the Louisina lot
tery: the number that drew the
capital prize, which entitles him to
$75,000. After buying the ticket
he thought no more of it till he
boarded the train for- the- north
west, and glancing over a paper
containing the list of drawings, he
found that he was the winner of a
handsome fortune, but when he
came tc-iook for his ticket it was
gone, and up to this - moment has
been unable to find it. While re
lating his misfortune to a reporter
his eyes glistened wilh gathering
tears. He said, "Anyone having
the ticket in his possession can col
lect the , money, and there is no
probability that I will ever get a
dollar out of my luck."

Children Cry for
Pitcher's Castoria.
Mrs. Dart's
President Cleveland's Prize for the three best babies at the Aurora County Fair, in 1887, was
flven to these triplets, Mollie, Ida, and Ray, children of Mrs. A. K. Dart, Hamburgh, N. Y.
he writes : " Last August the little ones became very sick, and as I could get no other food
that would agree with them, I commenced the use of Lactated Food. It helped them imme
diately, and they were soon as well as ever, and I consider it very largely due to the Food
that they are now so well." Lactated Food is the best Food for bottle-led babies. It keeps
them well, and is better than medicine when they are sick. Three sizes : 25c., 50c, 81 00.
