AI GI ST 15, 1891. Danger. To talk of guarding against cold in summer seems absurd, and ye it is as necessary as in winter. Where the climate is changeable a hot day is often followed by a cool evening, or a sudden rain storm chills the air, or a cold wind eprings up, grateful after the heat, but dangerous to those who are thinly clad onless they are protected from it by proper covering. Cotton is a good conductor of heat and allows it to escape rapidly from the surface of the body. As soon as the surrounding air becomes cooler than the skin it steals the heat trhich the body requires for its own needs. A fresh supply of heat must be produced, and thus the system is overtaxed to supply the demands of the robber. Flannel is a bad conductor and guards the tender body more faithfully, retaining the heat Elizabeth ft Scovil in Ladies' Home Journal Finished HI. Story. On Jan. 15 two laborers were at work on a railroad running into Indianapolis. One was telling a story, and while bending over he was accidentally struck on the head with a hammer by his companion and his skull was fractured. He waa rendered unconscious, and remained in comatose condition until last Friday night when Dr. Q. D. Sturtevant, of Indianapolis, trepanned the Bkull, and immediately upon removing the pieces of skull from against the brain the man continued the story which was started five months before and had lain latent in his brain during all this time. Cor. St Louis Globe-Democr- nlr Turned by Lightning. A curious instance of the blanching of the hair was recently reported by the Philadelphia Times. At Petersburg, in the course of a thunder storm, a laundress named Ellen Barnes stood watching the storm from the door of her house, when she was struck by the lightning and knocked senseless. Though unable to speak for hours after being resuscitated he recovered and was apparently unhurt by the shock, except that a part of her hair was turned a dazzling white. The line of demarkation separating the black hair from, the white extended about an inch, and a quarter to one side of the middle of her head. Furniture, 60 CenUi Dogs, Bit. One of the assessors relates an odd experience in Bucktown, near Indianapolis. He called at the house of an old woman whose furniture was valued at fifty cents. Under the law he had to place the value at one dollar, which would make her tax a fraction over one cent As he was about to leave the house he discovered .that the old woman was the happy owner of six dogs, on which she was assessed $11.

Fault Is It? A government clerk in Washington, COMMERCIAL, RAILROAD, sixty years of age, makes doleful wail. He got a government clerkship thirty years ago, when he was a young man. He has "served the government faith-fullfor thirty years. Now he finds himself about where he began thirty years ago with no money laid np, beginning to be an old man, no pension and no nothing, liable to be turned out at any time to make room for a younger clerk. In turn the younger man will doubtless settle down in front of a desk on a leather covered chair, and dry np and blow away with a pen behind his ear. Thirty years from now, in 1921, when this second fellow, too, shall be sixty years old, he in turn will doubtless wail that he is just where he was when he started, and has no money laid up, no pension and no nothing. But these fossilized government clerks will have nobody to blame but themselves. In the enthusiastic- days of youth, when with strong young arms they might have breasted the waves of life and fought and gained a sure harbor and support for age, they got a government clerkship at f 1.200 a year. In time it increased perhaps to $1,500, They staid and grew round shouldered and dyspeptio and gray headed. Courage and perseverance would have built for them a business independence outside; for there is money enough and opportunity enough in this country for every intelligent person with average health and business good luck to lay np a competency. But they did not take their fighting chances, and now they are left Probably the most unfortunate thing that can happen to a young man is to get a government clerkship in Washington. y" BANK, LEGAL AND COUNTY PRINTING AND BINDING. - Whatever you may need, be it much or little, come and see us.

Saturday afternoon a case of remarkable sympathy on the part of a dog waa witnessed on Church street near the poetoffice. A small dog strayed out into the street and was run over by a passing vehicle. He waa not permanently crippled, but appeared hurt across the back, and at first lay howling and squirming in the street Another dog of an entirely different breed was standing on the sidewalk when the accident occurred. Promptly he went to the assistance of his injured companion, and by pushing him with his nose aided him in rising, and then escorted him to the sidewalk with every possible demonstration of mute sympathy, and stood by him until the partly paralyzed animal was able to hobble off. Persons who witnessed it expressed astonishment at the unusual spectacle. West Chester (Pa.) News. To Keep ImecU Off from Trees. The tying of a piece of wool round a tree stem to keep down the bugs and vermin is a poor idea, because it is based on the supposition that all these nuisances ascend from the ground, whereas, in most instances, the eggs are laid in the foliage above the supposed guard. The only actual preventive involves a delicate operation, which, however, can be successfully performed by a man with a steady hand. It consists in boring a small hole in the tree near the ground and filling it with sulphur. The sap carries this over the tree and there will be few insects settle or crawl on any part of it The spring is the best time to do this, but with a strong healthy tree it can be done now with perfect safety.

Three hundred eats at a hundred franos per seat and all of them filled! This, briefly, was the result of the recent ultra fashionable charity performances given by the Dnchesse d'Uze. The great feature of the entertainment was a magic lantern display by a noble amateur, whose highly original slides are still the talk of aristocratic Paris. Among the new inventions that are expected to make considerable change in telegraphy is the telegraph pen. The operator at one of the line moves a stylus, making letters in the air. The motion is transmitted along the wires by electrio action and communicated to a pen at the other end of the line. This pen writes upon a paper of itself the words traced in the air by the stylus at the other end. The message is thns ready to be sent off at once.
