There stands in a lontly rural spot in Decatur county, a few miles 60uth of Grecnsburg, Inti., a large granite movement marking the cen ter of population as shown by the census of the United Slates of 1890. This monument was erected by a western newspaper and unveiled and dedicated on May 10, 1891. Just where it3 next location will be no one can tell. Speculation if rife as to the extent of the shift ol the center of population of the coun try. Many are of the opinion that the western movement will be than heretofore, and some even declare that the east has outstripped the west during the past ten years in the matter of increase ot population, and the marker of the center will start on a return course toward the hori eon of the morning sun. Govern ment officials, however, who keep well posted on the affairs of popu lation, believe that the shaft will continue westward and that during the next ten years it will remain in Indiana. Near Terre Haute has been selected as the most probable point. In 1850 this center was at a point ilmost due south of Parkersburg, tV. Ya. Ten years later it moved over into the southeastern border of Ohio and for 30 years remained in Ohio, coming, in IT 10, to a point tear Chillicothe and in 1880 it drop ped down to almost the center od Cincinnrtti—Cineinnatti Commer cial Tribune Usafness Canuoi be Cured By local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear.

The car was well filled with men and women on their way down town, when a policeman got on at the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street station. lie carried a baby in his arms. The officer took a seat opposite a theater party. “Ob, isn’t that a pretty babj ? Have you arrested him?” exclaimed one of the young women. The po liceman blushed. “No. ma’am,” he said. “You seo he’s a foondling—picked up by a girl in a hailway, miss.” “Shame,” said one of them. “He has silk ribbons in his hood,” his companion observed. “And a silk slip. Oh! who could be so cruel?” exclaimed a younger girl. “Where's ho going?’’ some one asked, and the policeman answered: “To Bellevue. Then to Ranuall’s island if he ain’t'claimed right away They’ll "give him a name, you know.” Here the baby began to cry, soft ly at first, inereesing it to a wa'l that would not be silenced. In vain the young women tried to quiet the child. Tlie policemen shifted him uneasily from odo shoulder to the other. In the corner of the car sat a wo man with a small child. She was poorly clad, but in her face was the kindliness ot motherhood. She came forward. “I think the child is hungry,” she said- ‘‘Give hi nr. to me.” Resting her own child in her lap, tho mother held the little foundling in her arms and drew about him a faded shawl. The cries ceased, and a silence fell upon the theatre party. When they left the train at Forty-second street, the baby was still quiet. “He’s asleep now, I think,” the laborer’s wife told them. One man slipped a roll of bills into the po liceman’s hand. “For her,” they said, nodding to the woman in the corner. “To Beb levue, eh? Too bad.”—N. Y. Jour nal.

Everybody has at times failed to do their duty towards themselves* Hundreds of lady readers suffer from sick headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, and female trouble Let them follow the example of Mr. II: Herbetcher, Stevens Point, Wis., who for five years suffered greatly from Nervous Prostration and Sleep lessness, tried physicians and differ ent medicines without success.

Women of the Transvaal. The average Boer is big, brawny and strong, ruddy cheeked and wholesome, yet never handsome. The womeD as a rule do not ap proach the fresh aDd simple beauty seen in the north of Europe. Here and there throughout the Transvall you will find a handsome Dutch girl, but not often. Their dress usually of 6ome cheap print and'the hedious poke bonnet, so universal, do not add to their attractions. They are curiously afraid of ex posing their complexion to the sun, and arc often pale and pasty in ap pearance. It is a curious thing to see how carefully a Boer woman will shade her face, and even keep her hands beneath her apron when in the sun. Vet, on the whole, the w^men of the Transvall are not unattrac tive—wheD you get used to them, ‘‘Tell me, officer, is this a safe neighborhood where we arc?” ‘Tf it wasn’t I wouldn't be here!” —Slimpllciseimus. Two Surprises. Many yiar9 ago a number of Peoria Indians organized a show company ar.d mads a tour of the east. They were mostly half breeds, end all were thoroughly educated in English, but was stipulated by the management that they mu3t talk on ly in their native tongue, and whea they got on their war ;togs they looked savage enough indeed. Among the company was Will Lab adic, well known in Galena, and one evening he was standing in the cor ridor of an eastern hotel, dressed iu liis chief’s robes and looked every inch the savage of fiction, when ha was approached by au elegantly gowned lady, and the following conversation ensued: “How”— “Ugh.” “You big chief in vour ovv coun try?” “Ugh.” “You go to Washington t> see great white fatLoi?” “Ugh.” “You cannot speak white man's tongue. You -speak no English?” “No, ma’am. I regret to say that I do not understand the language.’’ The poor woman was greatly sur prised and embarrassed, but per haps not so much as a bevy oi girls on a latter occsssios. In almost every town some of the audience would remain behind to g.t a better view of the awful ravages. One night Labadie had taken his seat in the orchestra bos after the show, and four or Cvj young ladies who were standing near commenced to comment on his personal appearance. “How would yon like to kiss him?” said one of the maidens wi h a titter. “Ob, girls, lets all do it just to see how it would feel to kiss a real In dian!” exclaimed one more daring than the rest, where upon Labadie turned camly to them and said: “Ladies, nothing would alTord me more pleasu e titan to give you a practidal illustration of the oscilla tory accompbshmcnts of the red man.” There was a chorus i>f little scream a swish of skirts, and the theater was empty.—Galena llepnblcm.

In the mountain district of T<n nessee there are many people who never saw a train, and when a rail road was surveyed and constructed through a wild part of the. State but little work was done by the natives for a year. They put in the great er part of the time watching the workman but the greatest tvent of their lives was when the first train came along. Some of them were afraid of the engine and gave it a wide berth. The track was finally laid as far as the Cumberland River and owing to the delay in the ar rival of the bridge material, the workman crossed the river and be gan the construction ot a tunnel. One clay a tall, raw-boned Ten nessean stood watching the work. There was a puzzled look in his face and he finally said: “They may be able to hit that hole every time, but if they miss it there will be b—II to pay.” That man actually believed that no bridge would be built and the trains would make a fly in leap across the river and dash into the tun nel on the other side.—Hermann Advertising Courier. She Committee! Suicide. Mrs. F. C. Boe, at Watkins, left this letter: “My husband—Forgive me if I cause you trouble, but I suf fer so. You do not know what these long, wakeful, wretched nights are to me, and I am so tired darling —the pain will never be better. It is not easy to take my own life, but I have been sick so long.
