A Mean Trick.
The .'o(l Milo Ix-e, of the Argillo
works at Carbon Cliff, has been in a state
of much portiirliatiim the past week or
two, over a dastardly act committed by
some son of sin. The engine at the works
eol, out i.f gear anil made more noise than
a ltwi. motive in a snow dritt, and the
trouble was finally located in the cylin
der, w lu re a large chisel was found. Of
course some sneak placed it there in the
ho(H's of breaking the machinery and
causiiu; geueral havoc. Nothing serious
happened, however, but still Lee would
give a giHid di'al to know why the ornery
cuss is that so conliived to injure him.

INTERESTING IYHNTS OF LAW,
points that are of especial significance '"S8-
and importance to the legal fraternity,
One was that judgments which were
sought to be set aside here, operate as
preferences in the general assignment,
and under our law preferences are for
bidden. The other point shown was that
where judgments are confessed before the
court in term time, the court overruling
the demurrer thereby sustains the bill,
Something Superior to Brandy.
Tvmperanee eople who think it wrong
for doctors to prescribe alcohol, will be in
terested to know thai a medicine has been
found which may. in many diseases, lie
substituted for it. Dr. Burrough, in the
Theraeutic (hiitlh, slates that nitro
glyeerine as a heart stimulant is far su
perior to brandy, and may lie given with
confidence whenever the administration
of brandy is indicated. Two drops of a
1 per cent solution are eqiiivalint loan
ounce of brandy, and the effects of the
drus: are felt immediately. It creates no
unnatural cravinir. The doctor gives
detailed account of the cases in which he
has employed it, and finds, after an ex
tensive experience, that it is of great val
ue in shock from accidents, fuinlness af
ter surgical operations, failure of the
heart's action due tochloforin. for opium
poisoning, asthma, and the collapse of
fevers.
The Planet in October.

line with Jupiter, 7th, and a similar line
with Uranus, 11th; it is in superior con

tember. About T. K. C A- Societies-
There are now 2,931 Young Men's
Christian Associations in this country and
Europe. About !)IK) of these are iu this
country. Eighty of the American asso
ciations own the buildings they occupy.
A few of these buildings are palatial, as
for instance in Philadelphia, Brooklyn
and BnUimrre. Some have been encum
bered with heavy debt3. Some have
rvmnasiums and base bal' clubs. Almost
all have libraries, a few of which are
large; but many have suffered from do
nations of old and valueless books. Some
associations confine their good work to
keeping open reading rooms and holding
prayer meetings. Some have educational
courses and popular leclures. A difflcnl
tv in some of the associations bus been
that many of the managers who a quar
fer r.f a rpiit.iitv were "vonnff men
and are now becoming gray haired afid
bald, retsrn their places to the exclusion
of men who are rea'ly young, and who are
quite as competent to manage as these
elderly gentlemen ever were. It would
be well if some of these old gentlemen
would step down and out and let the
younger ones in. If the old ones want
to do something, let them give money tor
the young ones to do work with.

Moline has adopted an innovation in
the management of its high school. Here
after only one session will be held each
day, extending from 9 a. m. to 2 o'clock

this plan was suggested to the Davens
riort hoard of education, but it was not
accepted on the ground that it would
disarrange the domestic economy and was lne politest tone I could master
ors to reach her feet, and the ludicrous
sidelong glances she cast around to see if
anyone was watching her. I couldn't help
standing and looking at her for a minute
or so, although my duty in the case was
clear enough. You see, I was there to sell
this lady a pair of shoes, and if she
boucht them she would have to have a
pair of dry stockings, and it was plain
that if she wore dry stockings someone
would have to put them on for her. So
like a hero I marched up to where she
was sitting. What with her exertions and
the mortification she felt, her face was
the color of a well boiled lobster, and I
have no doubt my own beautiful phiz was
no faint reflex of that tint "

not regarded as desirable. The principal
of the Moline school in approving of the
one session system session says: "At this
day, when all city high schools of the best
standing pursue this plan it would be
useless to extol it. We have experienced
the same advantages among which may
tip 'mentioned, increased nercentace of
regular attendance upon enrollment, a
very much reduced aggregate of excusals
before the school session closes, a mini.
mum of tardiness, more hours devoted to
home study and increased interest in and
fficiency of class work which appears
to characterize the policy everywhere. I
am persuaded that the advantages have
not s'l been cn the side of scholarship,
but that the homes of the puoils have
been likewise benefi tted. There has been
given increased time for household duties
without the usual interference in study
hours. I trust that the policy will De a
permanent one."

A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a
horse," was a'l right in its day, but at the
present time a mule is more preferable
to a horse, at least so mints Mr. nam
Ileagy, of the Northern Mining and Rail
way "compsny. The coal miners' strike is
at last at an end, and the much abused
mule poses as the white winged dove of
harmonv. At a recent meeting of the
miners it was decided by a majority vote
to return to work at three cents per bush
el, provided that the company use mule
power to haul the coal through the mine.
The request was acceded to by the com
pany, and it is the intention of the men
to return to work ou Monday. The for
mer price paid was 3J cents per bushel,
but the miners had to do their own haul
The present difficulty is to find a
mule suitable for the purpose, but as
Ileagy is using a'l his energy in that di
rection, it is predicted that the long eared
animal will be soon forthcoming. The
present case demonstrates that the mule
should be given a higher place in animal
society than it now enjoys
' "You can assist me. Pull off those
stockings and put on this pair, and lie
quick about it." she ordered, speaking
quite savagelike.
"Well, I got her stockings off and man
aged to get her feet into a dry pair; then
I left her again. When I came back 1 got
on the shoe we had tried before without
any trouble. Well, she took the shoes
they were a 6 pair paid for them, and
flounced out of the store as though we
were to blame for the display she had
made."
"Yes." concluded the narrator, reflect
ively, "shoe clerks have queer experienc
