FREUND. 32-?t Now is the opportune time for John Alexander Dowie Elijah the Second to m ake his ascension. It's getting most too warm on earth for him. WHO is Prince Henry, anyway V It seems that we have seen the name somewhere, but can't just place the man. Why don't the Chicago papers tell us something about him? THERE are now four candidates in the field for sheriff of Mcflenry county. M. W. Lake, Harvard; Geo. Eckert, of Woodstock; Chas. Wandrack, of Cary The last ambitious citizen to annonnce his candidacy is J. C. Darrell, of Wood­ stock. Oil From the Porpolae. The porpoises killed In winter an the fattest and produce most oil. The largest size measure about 7 feet In length. 5 feet in girth and weigh about 300 pounds. Such a porpoise yields from six to seven gallons of oil. The blubber of a big porpoise weighs about 100 pounds and is one and a half inches thick lu summer and two in winter. The jaws of the porpoise yield a su­ perior quality of oil. When hung up In the sun, it readily drips away into cans provided for the purpbse, the quantity of oil thus procured, how­ ever, being not more than half a pint to the jaw. The oil from the blubber gives an excellent light and is in de­ mand along the coast for lighthouse use. It has no offensive odor. Porpoise shooting is followed at all seasons and in all kinds of weather. On a calm summer's day the porpoise may be heard blowing a mile or two away. If you wound a porpoise and there are any sharks around, the shark is very apt to share your booty with you even If he doesn't devour it in toto. He WM an Artiat. A lady of high position once ven­ tured to remonstrate with Worth, the Parisian milliner, because he had charged her £120 pounds for a ball dress. "The material," she said, "could be bought for £20, and surely the work of making up would be well paid with £5 more." "Madame," replied the millfner in'his loftiest manner, "go to M. Meissonier. the painter, and say to him: 'Here is a canvas, value a shilling, and here are colors, Value 4 shillings. Paint me a picture with these colors 011 that can­ vas and I will pay you one and three­ pence.' What will he say? He will say, 'Madame, that is no payment for an artist.' I say uiore. I say, if you think my terms too high, pay me noth­ ing and keep the robe. Art does not descend to the pettiness of the hig­ gler."--London Tit-Bits. WANTON KILLING OF ANIMALS. "Several states in the Union have passed stringent laws restraining hunt­ ers from the wanton destruction of cer tain animals. Those laws are just and right, but they should include every animal that inhabits the earth. It is not an nnusual thing to see a hunter kill song birds, gophers, woodchucks, squirrels, rabbits and other animals and leave them where they fall. If all hunt ers could go through the experience that befell Pierre Loti, a French author, as related in a Chicago paper recently, we are confident that they would think twice before taking the life of inhabit­ ants of the forest, stream and air. The author mentioned above, while hunt­ ing in the tropics, shot a yonng monkey, and in his description of the scene that followed his rash deed said; "As he was shot the little monk tried desperate­ ly to steady himself on the nearest twigs, but haden't the strength. Hie body rolled slowly from branch to branch, and, reaching the last, fell to the ground. When I raised it life was not wholly extinct, but power of resist­ ance was. I handled it as I would a dressing case or valise. Then I looked my newly acquired property in the face. The mqpk's narrow, shrunk lips twitched convulsively, and his big, childish eyes bore a never-to-be-forgot ten expression. Horror of death, fear of the hereafter, anguish, ah, and re­ proach were plainly painted on his fea­ tures! And I kept the monk in my arms and caressed the dying head, O, so lovingly--if it had been that of the most beautiful woman in the world I couldn't have fondled it with more tender sentiments. Leaning his fore head against my breast the little monk died. In his last moments the expres­ sion of fear and reproach had given way to that of absolute helplessness. He was as helpless and trusting as a sick child. And I went back to camp at war with myself. I felt that to re­ gain my self-respect I must despise and loath myself for the brutal deed I had done for the despicable animality slum beritig in my soul. During the five years following the murder of the little munk I didn't touch a gun, save when the service compelled me, and even thep. Itelt great repugnance." Grew Industrial D i BOO vert ea. It is not the boy who is surrounded by the test Implements and tools that Ingenuity can manufacture, but an Eli Whitney making a cotton gin in a cel­ lar in the south with the simplest tools or a Cunard whittling the model of a •hip with a jackknife that makes great Industrial discoveries.--Success. She Knew It. A Philadelphia man thought he would be more successful than his wife in securing servants. So lie cut out a number of advertisements from the "situations wanted" column of a newspaper started out in a cab to visit the various addresses. The first place he stopped at was in front of a little house in a narrow street, from which a cook had advertised. He saw her and was favorably impressed. "I am looking for a good cook," he said. "Sure, an' don't Oi know it!" ex­ claimed the cook. "Oi only left your house yestidday!" He made a hasty and undignified re­ treat and decided to allow his wife to continue in her direction of the house­ hold affairs. She Had Improved. The Princess Charlotte, daughter of George IV., was a young woman of great spirit and originality. One day one of her teachers chanced to enter the room when the princess was revil­ ing one of her attendant ladius in great wrath, and, after giving her a lecture on hasty speech, he presented her with a book on the subject. A few days later he found her still more furious and using language even more violent. "I am sorry to tind your royal highness in such a passion," said he. "Your royal highness has not read the book I gave you." "I did, my lord," cried she tempestu­ ously. "I both read it and profited by it. Otherwise I should have scratched her eyes out!" Sharp Retorta. Lord Chief Justice Ivenyon, whose' parsimony was well known, lived in a large, gloomy bouse in Lincoln's Inn Fields. Of this house Jekyll observed that all the year round it is "Lent in the kitchen and Passion week in the parlor." At this some one said that though the fire was dull in the kitchen grate the spits were bright. "It is quite irrelevant," said Jekyll, "to talk about sptts, for nothing turns on theni." On the same lord buying a secondhand suit of clothes and finding a pocket handkerchief left in a pocket JekylJ declared it was the very first he ever had. To a Welsh Judge notorious for his great greed of office and his want of personal cleanliness, complaining to Jekyll as to his being neglected, the latter said in his most amiable tones: "My dear sir, you have asked the min­ ister for almost everything. Why don't you ask him for a piece of soap and a nailbrush?"--Gentleman's Magazine. A Dugrrona Caae. One of the managers of a hospital SSked an Irish nurse which he consid­ ered the most dangerous of the many Cases then in the hospital. "That, sur," said Patrick as he point- ad to a case of surgical instruments lying on the table. Wheel*. The earliest mention of wheels in the Bible Is In Exodus xiv, 23, when the chariot wheels of the Egyptians were taken off by the Lord. But char­ iots are mentioned in Genesis xii, 43. But there were older nations than the Egyptians. The Chaldeans used char­ iots, and the Greeks--Homer's poems date from about 900 B. C.--had char­ iots at the siege of Troy, 1300 B. O. Probably in reality the wheeJJs about as early a piece of machinery as any now existing. Of course it has been developed, but the bicycle wheel of to­ day is a lineal descendant of the sec­ tion of a log of wood used by the ag­ ricultural peoples thousands of years ago. Benefit a of the Birch. The cane 6hould never be used as the ordinary instrument of school punish­ ment. A cane may possibly bring about irreparable damage, and caning on the hands is the most Senseless and cruel form of punishment imaginable. The birch is the best implement of punishment for small boys. First, it hurts; secondly, if applied in reason, it does no harm.--London Lancet. Jmt Like a Woman. The coffee was weak, the toast burnt to a.cinder and the' ham as hard aa leather, or at least he said so. His wife's long patience gave way. "John Ilinry," said she, "I've tried faithfully to cook for you for twelve long years. No one in the town has better cooked food, yet you are always finding fault. 'Why can't you praise me once in awhile? I'd like to know that." He looked up in astonishment. "Well, if you ain't the most unrea­ sonable woman I ever saw," he ejacu­ lated. "Why, many and many is the time I've sat down to a meal and never said a word about it. Anybody would know theil" wasn't any fault to be found or I'd 'a' found it, and yet you want a better compliment than that! That's just like a woman--she can't tell a compliment when she gets one!" Eqanl to the Occaalon. A man was once given a large dog to take care of by a friend who was go­ ing abroad, but the dog annoyed him by always sitting in his best arm­ chair. One day a splendid idea struck him. He came into the room and found the dog in his usual seat, so he walked up to the window and called: "Cats! Cats!" Up jumped the dog and rushed to the window, while the man went and sat in his chair. A few days later the dog walked into the room while his master was sitting in his armchair. Going up to the win­ dow, he barked loudly. The man got up to see what was the matter, and the dog rushed and se­ cured the chair. A Monster Yesael of Olden Tlmea. Ptolemaeus Philopater, one of the an­ cient kings of Egypt, is said to have built a vessel 420 feet long, 5G feet broad, 72 feet high from the keel to the top of the prow and 80 feet to the top of the poop. She had four helms of GO feet, her largest oars were 56 feet long, with leaden handles so as to be more easily worked. She had two prowB, two sterns and seven rostra or beaks. On both poop and prow she had figures of men and animals that were fully 18 feet high. She had 4,000 rowers, 400 cabin boys or servants, 'J.820 marines to do duty on deck, be­ sides being provided w+tb Immense stores of arms and provisions. Ruling Servants, 1080.

One of the college weekly papers makes the following comment on the difference between football at Yale and Harvard: "At Harvard a coach, being surrounded by 'literary influ­ ences,' must cry, 'Pierce the line with fierceness, gentlemen!' At Yale a coach 6ays: 'Dive into 'em, you lobsters! Dig in your toes and sock it to 'em!' " Velocity of Meteorltea. The singular fapt has been demon­ strated that while the most rapid ve­ locity of cannon balls scarcely ever attains a speed of GOO meters a second- about 1,300 miles per hour--meteorites are known to pernjeate the air with a velocity of 40,000 or even GO,000 meters per second. This unthinkable speed instantly raises the temperature of the air to 4,000 or G,000 degrees centigrade. PROBA TE NEWS REAL ESTATFE TRANSFER8.

"Japan wax," as it is called, is ob­ tained from a tree, Rhus suceedanea, which is found in Japan, China and throughout the Enst Indies in general. In the Japanese language it is called haje or haze. The tree commences to bear fruit when five or six years old and increases its product every year till at the age of fifty years a single tree will produce 3f>0 to 400 pounds of berries, from which seventy to eighty pounds of wax can be obtained. The wax is formed in the middle of the berry, between the skin and the seed, like the pulp of a grape. It is extracted by boiling the berries in wa­ ter and allowing it to cool, when the wax separates from the skin and seed, sinking to the bottom of the vessel In a solid cake. The specific gravity of this wax Is .970 and its melting point 131 degrees F. It is largely used, ei­ ther alone or mixed with tallow, by the Chinese in the manufacture of candles. This tree should not be confounded with the "tallow tree" of China, which has a pith of solid tallow in all trees that have fully matured. The Heart* and the Spade. Once upon a time % man who was playing a friendly game of draw poker found four hearts and a club in his hand. After a little thought he dis­ carded the club and drew a spade. "I will call •"his a hand of hearts," he said to himself, "aud bet on my flush." Then he looked very wise and laid down S7 of his hard earned money. Another player saw the $7 instantly, c.lled in a loud voice, and the money at once changed owners. Morel.--A wise man calls a spade a spide.--New York Herald. Before Ton Tell a Secret.

The Hampi of Camels. The humps of camels are mere lumps of fat and not provided for in the frarriework of the skeleton. When the animal is Irf good condition, the bumps are full and plump.

A correspondent sends us a little story of his infant son. His mother was telling Tommy about the apple and the garden of Eden, when the child, who resided in the country aud had a lively recollection of windfalls, remarked, "But, mummy, it would not have mattered so much, would it, if Bhe had picked one off the ground?"-- London Life. The Fashion of the House. A servant girl happened to be en­ gaged at a farmhouse where the mis­ tress waa'known to have a hasty tem­ per. On the first Saturday night the girl was at the farmhouse she was told by the mistress to clean the boots ready for Sunday. The mistress, on coming into the kitchen later on, saw that the girl had cleaned her own boots first, so she took them up and threw them into a tub of water that was standing by and bounc­ ed out of the kitchen. The girl said nothing, but when she had cleaned the other boots she threw them also Into the water. "Whatever possessed you to do that, girl?" asked the mistress on coming again in the kitchen. The girl simply replied: "Well, ma'am, please ma'am, I thought it was the fashion of the house, ma'am!"--London Tit-Bits. Ton A Hopeless Case. ^, Wtnkft--Jinks never sees the point of 4 .1 S Joke.

Haydn's "Dictionary of Dates" makes the statement that ^he old name of the city of London was written Lynden or Llyndin. meaning "the city on the lake." Au old tradition gives ns to understand that London was founded by Brute, a descendant of ^Eneas, and called New Troy or Troy- novant until the time of Lud, who sur­ rounded the to"'n with walls and nam­ ed it Caer-Lnd, or Lud's town. This latter is probably the correct version of the story, if for no other reason be­ cause it is an easy matter to detect a similarity between the expression Lud'a town and London. It is claimed by some writers that there was a city on the same spot 1.107 years B. C., and it is known that the Romans founded a city there called Londlnium A.
