' IBbXot Smrttam in the Par Woat. [Detroit Free Press.] ITet^e the following front the I*st > of the Arizona Kicker: BUKD FOE LIBEL. f "Our genial Sheriff, Bill Mayes, dropped on us the other day to subscribe for a oopy of the Kicker to send to a friend in Vermont, and to apeak words of cheer and encouragement' in regard to our enterprise. Before he left he incidentally served papers on tui in libel suits as follows: The Widow Hoc kin*. Jack Hinee CoL Mmion..., MM. Bmlthen Scattering .$10,000 20,000 . 10,0(*5 .. 15,000 .. 7u,0J0 "All the above suits were the result of a few truthful paragraphs in a recent issue, and, while not exactly expected, are not unwelcome. We don't think a newspaper amounts to shucks until it has half a dozen libel suits on the docket, and we don't believe that any editor will get up and hump himwplf until he realizes that he has got to raise $200,000 inside of a year. Friends, jftomans! Gome and see us!" S . EXPLANATORY. "|*ast week we advised our iriends fo give a cold shoulder to % a ̂ traveling theatrical company wlueh advertised a week's engagement at- Root Hog or Die Hall, and after playing to empty benches for two nights, the company slid out of town, though not before the leading man, the villain, the juvenile, the first old wo­ man, and Clara Yere De Yere, the heroine, had stoned the Kicker office and dared us to come forth in the stilly night and be mangled to a pulp. Let this be a warning to other theatrical companies. No free tickets were left at this office in this case. In fact, the Kicker was coolly ignored. It will1 be wise in all others to come and see us at once. We want at least six deadhead tickets to front seats, and in case we don't get 'em the show is going to prove a bad financial failure. This office is the place to get date-lines and dodgers, and this paper is the proper medium to advertise in. « V t , SOME SUGGESTIONS." ^. In the coming county and ci fcy electiohs it is desirable that good, clear men be put in the field as candidates. "We liave considerable spare time on our hands, and if nominated for and clected to the office of County Clerk we should hope to fill the place to the satis­ faction of the public. "We are satisfied that we would also make a good Mayor. We could give that office our attention for two hours per day, and we believe we know the needs of the town and how to satisfy them. "If we are elected Register of Deeds we promise that the office shall be mopped out every Saturday, and those who have business with us will find us always in cheerful humor. "It looks well to see a leading journal­ ist holding positions- of trust and re­ spect. They invariably make the best office-holders. We throw out these few suggestions in all candor, and have no doubt they will be acted upon to the best interests of the partv and the pub- lie. They either mil be or the party will hear something drop." BOUND FOB THE GALLOWS. "We attended church the other even- ning in company with Hank Rifer's old­ est girl, Sarah. When the contribution v. box was passed we intended to chip in *--» quarter, but got hold of a dollar by accident. After the services we went to Deacon Jaggers, who runs the box, and requested 75 cents rebate. He re­ fused to make it, saying that the Lord never allowed discounts or rebates. The deacon being this sort of a man, the Kicker does not hesitate to record the fact that he broke jail at Akron, Ohio, twelve years ago, and is still wanted in that State for bigamy. We have been keeping still on him because we were trotting Sarah about, and be­ cause the deacon claimed that he was doing work for the Lord in this locality. We have given Sarah the shake, and we shall now stand the deacon out to public view in a way which will make him anxious to move before Christ­ mas." An Average American's Knowledge of the Government. Passing by what he knows, or what he does not know, alxmt the local gov- , eraments of town and) county and State, (and he does not know too much!) what does the average American--the well-meaning, easy-going, every-day citizen--know about the management of National affairs ? He knows that this is the province of the Federal power--the Government of the United States. He knows that this power works under the forms of law and through the agency of men; that these men are, by the Consti­ tution, divided into three great classes, or departments,:--the Congress, the Judiciary, and the Executive; that the Congress makes the laws, declaring what shall or shall not be done, which it is the function of the Judiciary to interpret, the office of the Executive to carry out, and the duty of every citizen to obey. But he does not read the laws which Congress makes; he does not look at the decisions which the Judiciary renders; and, not knowing precisely wlut the Executive has been ordered by Congress to do, he cannot know what that department is doing, or have any intelligent conception of his own rights and duties as a citizen under those laws. Yet, within a fortnight, he will exercise the highest right and perform (or, rather pretend to perform) the highest duty of American citizenship--he will vote for a man to go to Congress and help 400 other Congressman to make niore laws, and be will vote tor a President to exe­ cute the laws those men shall make!*-- Edmund Alton, in St. Nicholas. | made to see it Near-sightedness and Far-Sightednelw. Presbyopia, or what is commonly known as far-sightedness, is found to supervene earlier with those who are constantly at work thqj} with other in­ dividuals, and, as soon as it does, con­ vex glasses should be at once resorted to, without which the muscles of ac­ commodation would be fatigued to no purpose; at first they should be used for working in the evening, after the fatigue of the day, but a long-sighted person should only use spectacles for looking at near objects, not at far ones. Work requiring close application fa­ vors the development of myopia, or near-sightedness, precisely in propor­ tion as the conditions of illumina­ tions are bad, apd, if the action of thoso causes continues, the myopia must increase until vision is lost. If the eyes are fatigued by bad, artificial illumination, blue or slightly- smoked or slightly-calored glasses are useful, and, in order to avoid the lateral rays, they should be large and round. In case . of persistent irritation, all work should be abandoned, and an ex- dlrtarfaaaoe of refraction, etc. t? j ; Tairy. iiv> • If there is friction, out with ydnr oil­ can. If there is a quarrel, pour on oiL Blessed are the peacemakers. But the oil-can is for the rarer emer­ gencies. It is not everybody that has the gift of putting oil on just the spot that grates; and it is not every day that quarrels occur which call for the oil­ can. But blessed be taffy. It is wanted every day and from everybody. It is the universal sweetness of social and domestic lifel Husband, have you oome home and do you find your wife tired and hot with the day's work in the chamber ant kitchen ? Give her a little' taffy. Sa; a sweet thing to her. Praise heiN for something. Tell her how nice the bread is, so much better than the baker's ; thai the ketchup is the best she ever made; that the house looked so sweet and rest­ ful when you came in; that she has the dearest children that ever lived; and at your leisure, before she goes .to bed, tell her she is your own heart's treas­ ure. It will do her good; it will make e smiles come. She may box youi ears when you say sweet, petting things, and tell you you are talking as you would to the cat; but she will like it just the same. Wife, does your good man oome home weary and burdened, exhausted and-- no, not cross, but undemonstrative and silent ? Go up to him with a sweet welcome. Say something pretty to him. Men all love to be appreciated and flat­ tered. Give him the sugar stick. Tell him some pretty thing somebody said about liim. Tell him how much you admire what he has done; and when }ou can sit down alone with him take lis hand and pet him and tell him yon love him more than tongue can tell; don't be afraid of overdoing it and using comical little exaggerations.. He may know, and you may know, that there fs taffy in it; but it is very nice taffy. Wc all like it; we all like to be told we are loved, and the saying of it makes it all the truer. It is a great deal better to cultivate one's love with warm expres­ sions than to blight it with frost. Pretty nothings? Why, they are big realities, the stuff happiness feeds on. Give us more taffy. Did you ever see doves rub each other's bill's? What is a kiss? Taffy. What is a compliment? Taffy. What is politeness? Taffy. The good Lord himself praises his loved ones with a well-done far beyond their deserts. For quarrels give us oil; but give us taffy every day, all. we deserve, much more than we deserve. Don't be over- conscientious about it; let it be full and abundant and very sweet; sweet with smiles and love and laughter. Give it to your father, your mother, your hus­ band, your wife, your brother, sister, child, friend. How your child loves it! So do you. . More, more taffy.--The Independent. ./"fniy Women Wed. A man asked me the other day how women find husbands. It was such s puzzling question to me that I consti­ tuted myself a committee of one and went around amor^; a lot of married women to see how their husbands pro­ posed to them. There wasn't one who had ever had an absolute romantic avowal of love! There wasn't one whose husband had gotten down on his kness, caught the loved one's hand and besought of her, unless she wished to see him stark and cold with a broken heart, that she would wed him! There wasn't one who had ever known the rapture of being held, with a pistol pointed at her head, while the brave lover pronounced that, unless she accepted him, he would kill her and then himself! There wasn't one who had been gained even at the dagger's point, and not a single wife had been drugged and wedded while in a semi-conscious state! Dorothy, I confess to a certain amouftt of disappointment. The nearest I could get as to how the question of marriage had been reached was always that they drifted into it. This is deliciously vague, but it seems to mean that they knew the man, that he had the privilege of holding theix hands and criticising their frocks for some time, and that then when there was no special excitement in Wall street, a presidential election wasn't going on, nor anything else that was distracting, they suggested that it wag about time for them to get married. This is the general experience. And I think it a sin and a shame. Few women have more than one opportunity to marry, and that ought to be accom­ panied by all the frills and frivolities that the best novel writer ever dreamed of. The Howells ami James business in the way of classic love-making may be most desireable for nervous people; it may calm and soothe them, but when champagne or love are offered it wants to be sparkling, and it wants to taste as if such nectar had never been offered before. The cigarette-imbued, white-skinned, colorless-eyed, smooth-faced young man that is so prevalent just now will never offer anybody anytliing but the flattest cider for champagne, and when it comes to this, I say, give me ice water and platonic.--New York Star.

It is easier to guess than to demonstrate. SOAP STONE incorporated with oil, after the manner of a punt, is Mid to be superior to any kind of paint as a preservative. Soapstone is to be had in an exceedingly fine powder, mixes readily with prepared oils for paint use, covers well surfaces of iron, steel, or stone,- and is an effectual remedy against rust. It has been known to protect some stonework, such as obelisks, in China, for ages past. A RECENT lecture by Prof. Bonnev, on the "Foundation Stones of the Earth's Crust," before the British Association* was illustrated by real sections of rock, so thin as to bo partially transparent, which were projected on the screen. The conclusion at which the lecturer finally arrived was that gneisses and schists are the oldest minerals known to us, and are, therefore, to be regarded as the foundation stones of the earth's crust. THE scientist Leuwenhock says : "I have often compared the size of the thread spun by fnllgrown spiders with a hair of my l>eard. For this purpose I placed the thickest part of the hair be­ fore the microscope, and froiajhe most accurate judgment I could f<mn, more than a hundred of such threads placed side by side could not equal the diam­ eter of one such hair. If, then, we suppose such a hair to be of a round form, it follows that 10,000 of the threads spun by the full-grown spider, when taken together, will not be equal in substance to the size of a single hair. IT has been estimated that an average of five feet of water falls annually over the the whole earth. Supposing that condensation takes place at an average height of 3,000 feet, remarks Gen. Strackey, the force of evaporation to supply such rainfall must equal the lift­ ing of 322,000,000 pounds of water 3,000 feet in every minute, or about 300,000,- 000,000-horse power constantly exerted. Of this great energy a very small part is transferred to the waters that run back through riverd to the sea, and a still smaller fraction is utilized by man; the remainder is dissipated in space. THE first electric mountain railway has been opened to the public at the Burgenstock, near Lucerne. Mr. Abt, the designer of the road, has achieved a great triumph in building a funicular mountain road with a curve, which has hitherto been considered impossible. The road rises from the shore of Lake Lucerne up the Burgenstock to a dis­ tance of 988 metres upon a bed cut through most of its length out of the solid rock. The electricity necessary to move the cars is generated by two dynamos of 25-horse power each, which in turn are propelled by a water-wheel set up in the River Aar. Dead Wild Animals. Anyone who has observed nature closely" must have remarked how ex­ ceedingly rare it is to find the body of any wild animal. Millions die every year; yet, unless after a heavy storm or a severe frost, the sharpest-eyed ranger of the woods and fields will seldom come upon a corpse. The wildlings geem to creep into holes when they feel their end approaching, or their bodies are devoured by other animals, or con­ cealed by their kindred. In the first and last cases their skeletons will, of course, be preserved in the earth's crust all the same as if they had been buried in aquatic mud; but if they are eaten, then it is, only in rare instances that we can identify the competent.portions of their bony structure. This may be the reason why some animals are never found except in the shape of a few teeth, and it may also explain the absence of birds from formations in which they might presumably be found. Birds can more easily escape any terrestrial dis­ turbance likely to overwhelm animals without such capabilities of fleeing from the mischief at hand; so that it is by no means a safe inference- to consider tbe spot in which a birds skeleton is found that in or about which its owner was in the habit of disporting itself. More­ over, in former ages, as in ours, birds were no doubt migratory; indeed, there is reason to believe that the routes at present taken by certain species in re­ moving from and to their summer and winter quarters were those adopted by them when the physical geography of the world was very different from what it is at the present. We also know that when birds are drowned--and often after a boisterous winter the north­ ern coasts are strewn with the bodies of aquatic species--they- invariably float on the surface, owing to their light skeletons and water-resisting plumage. Hence, when they reach the strand, their carcasses are usually so macerated that their bones are scattered far and wide, or they fall a prev to the animals who prowl along the shore intent on picking up such flotsam and jetsam of the ocean. Other large animals, on the contrary, sink to the bottom when they die, and if the sediment is favora­ ble for their fossilization, they are noon silted over, and their li ardor jiarts pre­ served more 01- less intact for all nu©» ceeding time. These facts, which to % certain extent apply to all animals, are in an especial degree worthy of consid­ eration when the comparative rarity of ornithic remains comes to be ex --Our Earth and Its Story. Figures About Weeds. In the State of Iowa Mr. Byron D. Halstead finds 297 species of weeds, of which 145 are a positive disadvantage to the farmer, and 51 are pests. of the worst kind. Of these plants, 84 are an­ nuals, 27 are biennials, and 18G are perennials. There are 87 of foreign origin and 210 are natives, but of the worst species 28 are foreign and only 23 native. Among the most offensive of the annuals are the purslane or "pusley," the Jamestown or jimpson weed, the £ig-weed, and the tumble-weed; of the iennials, the carrot and the fleabane; of the foreign perennials, the Canada thistle and the curled-leaf dock; and of the native perennials, various coarse thistles and the celebrated quack or quick grass.
