The evening was delight- fully fine and the large crowd was highly pleased with the sports and entertainment given, which opened at six o’clock with a baseball match between the ladies clubs of Corbetton and Ceylon. It was an interesting match. but the Ceylon girls were too well up in the science of the game for the ladies from the south. and won with a score of as to 22 at the end of the 5th innings. After the match the lengthy musical program was entered upon, which was wholly given by the visiting bands from Dundalk. Mark- dale and Durham. All are splendid musical aggregations, and the program rendered by each was highly pleasing and hearty tokens of appreciation were awarded by the audience. The grounds were nicely illuminated and seats were furnished for the comfort of the prom- enadOrs. At a beautifully spread table in the hall the ladies of the village. served dainty refreshments to all. After 10 o’clock the massed bands played the National Anthem and the crowd began to disperse. The pro- ceeds were $96.00. The second town baseball match be- tween the North and South was played on Wednesday evening of last week and was won with a big score by the north. IA game each having been won, the next match will decide who gets the cup.

There is something really pathetic in the way a mother butterfly builds a nest for her children. in the first place, the little home where the eggs are deposited represents a great deal of sacrifice, for it is lined with several layers of down plucked from the moth- er's own soft body. The eggs having been laid carefully‘upon this luxurious. pretty couch, are protected by an equally pretty coverlet made of the same material. These butterfly bedclothes are often arranged with an intricacy that is quite curious and perplexing. Sometimes a bed is made so that each separate deli- cate hair stands upright, thus giving the entire nest the appearance of a lit- tle brush oi' downy fur. Then again the eggs are laid spirally round a tiny branch. and. as the covering follows their course, the eirect resembles the bushy tail of a fox. only the nest is more beautiful than the brush of the finest fox that ever roamed over coun- The building of this downy nest is the latest earthly labor of the mother but- terfly, for by the time it is completed her own delicate body is denuded of its natural covering and there is nothing left for her to do but die, a sacrifice which she promptly and heroically makes in the interest of the coming butterfly generation. Must Pension Themselves. Domestic servants in Germany come under the law that obliges all persons below a certain income to provide for their old' age. The postomce issues cards and stamps, and one of these the card every Monday. Sometimes the employers buy the cards and stamps and show them at the postotflce each month. Sometimes they expect the servant to pay half the money re- quired. Women who go out by the day get their stamps at the house they work in on Mondays. It a girl marries she may cease to insure and may have a sum of money toward her outfit. In by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the car. There is only one way to cure ‘deat- ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lon- ing of the Eustacian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken, out and this tube re- stored to ist normal condition, hear- ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca- tarrh, which is nothing but an in- flamed condition of the mucous sur- faces.

This Singular Man Vewed He Would Make by His Remarkable Manner of Death a Name For Himself That Would Live For Years. In all the annals of suicides the world over it is not recorded that any man prepared for death and stared the grim reaper in the face with more fiendish composure than did James Moon in planning and working month after month on the most remarkable method of ending his life. which he adopted and put into execution in the old Lahr hotel at Lafayette. Ind. many years ago. After strapping his body securely to the floor he then chloroformed himself so that he would remain perfectly mo- tionless until a candle. burning through a cord, would release the blade of a guillotine of his own invention to sev- er his head trom his body. “I will make for myself a name that will live tor years and years after my HE MADE GOOD HIS BOAST. death.” boasted Moon when first he benntoworkonhiephn. monthlbe- tore he ectmlly carried it out. It we: notenidlebout. Hienemehetm remembered beyond the confines of Tippecanoe county, for the diabolical cunning employed in his grewaome deed insures the perpetuation of the story for years to come. The crude but eflective guillotine by whichMoonchoppedoflhiaheadh now one of the most interesting relics in the museum of Purdue university. The sanity of Moon had been ques- donedbeioretheatartllngactotasit destruction. for he was continuously talking of revolutionizing the world by various remarkable inventions upon which he was working. One of his hobbies was a sewing machine that he promised would far excel anything yet invented in that line, and he would spend days working on it in a little shed in the rear of his home. Moon was known throughout the county. and there were some who believed that he was really a genius and some day would succeed in the one great inven- tion on which his heart and mind were set. Though none of his machines was ever successful, there is no deny-. ing that his guillotine was a master- piece of amateur mechanical art. After his death it was learned that he had spent months in perfecting the instru- ment which was once the terror of France. Every detail in the construction of the death dealing device was perfect. Could one have watched the man at work in his little shop in the lonesome hours of the night he would have seen a remarkable spectacle. Moon must have stretched his body on the floor again and again, marking the distance with perfect accuracy and then spring- ing the huge blade to see if it would descend just at the spot where his neck had been. Every calculation had to be perfect, every joint in the instru- ment had to work perfectly, to insure such a perfect success as was attained in the final test to which it was put. The work of putting this arm togeth- er must have taken considerable time. i as each piece was thormxghly braced to ; prevent play in any direction. The arm connected with a broad hinge that tastened on one side to the floor of the .room and on the other to the base. boarding to make it secure. The broad- ax, which no doubt was the last to be attached to the guillotine. weighed six- ty four pounds and was made secure with five heavy screws. Moon made the broadax at one of the principal foundries of the city and to throw oif suspicion said that he was making a “special kind of chopper for the chef of the Lahr hotel.” The big blade was sharpened to the keenness of a razor’s edge. Those who saw Moon’s body afterward say that the neck was cut through so smoothly that not even a bone was splintered. Bidding his family a happy farewell, Moon left his home in the section of Tippecanoe county known as the “Wea Plains” and went to the old Hotel Lahr. in Lafayette. one Saturday after- noon in June. 1876. His only baggage was a trunk. in which the pieces of his guillotine. the straps, bottle of chloroform and other materials neces- sary in the preparation for his suicide were stored. The afternoon and evening Moon spent chatting with friends about the hotel, and he was the gayest of all of them. He gave no indication that the hour was near when he would carry into execution 'the plans he had made to make his name famous. The hour must have been late before Moon began his work of setting up the guillotine, for the men in the ad- joining room told that the light in his room was burning when they retired. but no sounds came from the silent chamber. It is presumed, however. that be employed the early part of the even- ing in putting the din‘erent parts of the guillotine together. The arm prop- er was slx feet three inches long and was in three separate pieces and was constructed out of hard oak. Each part was put together with screws. so that there would be no noise neces sary in erecting it. ahd at the; side of the window he placed a bucket, on which he put an canary kitchen candle. From the wall Mamy'Mandntm All of the parts of the guillotine in piece, Moon began his painstnking 1r- rangements for the end. At a meas- ured distance from the hinge he unten- ed two straps to the floor with screws.
