WHEREAS the great supreme ruler of the universe has in his infinite wisdom removed from among us, one of our esteemed neighbors, W. B, Cirlisle, and whereas, the long and intimate relations held with him in the faithful discharge of his duties in this camp makes it eminently fitting that we record our appre- ciation of him; therefore, REsSOLVED, That wisdom and ability which he has exercised in the aid of our camp by service, contributions and counsel, will be held in grateful remembrance.

According to a lecturer on health, people that breathe through the mouth, habitually neglecting the nose, the proper channel for the air supply. “have short upper lips, flat cheeks, ir- regular and decayed teeth, pigeon chests, pointed chins and pointed or upturned noses”—a dreadful list of dire penalties, in truth, fearful enough to convert us all in a moment. yet greatly exaggerated, of course. IIow- ever, as we have heard many times, usually never heeding as we pass by, it is decldedly injurious to breathe through the mouth. Moreover, if we stop to consider a bit, we shall be able to see for ourselves several common fense reasons that ought to make us supply our lungs with air through the nose. Taken in by way of the mouth, were offered and sold at $740, The Cass county sale amounted t0 $3,550 and the tracts soll w:re; appraised at $3,230. } Messrs. Atzin and Browa left on the nvoa traia for Grand Ra-i pids, where they will hold a sim-' ilar sale tomorrow.

In winter especially should we take care to breathe only through the nose, thus lessening greatly our chances of taking deep seated colds.

Kinch and Mrs. Kinch were pleasantly sur- prised last night by a large party of friends, who dropped in to spend the evening. The gather- ing was in honor of the new| house on Mississippi avenue and Twelfth street, ‘which has just been completed. The evening was spent at dancing and games. Those present were: Messrs. and Mesdames A. A. Carter, O. E. Bailey, Clark, J. Bisiar, A. B. Hazen, Matt Mayer, J. J. Doran, Tom Smart, B. Stafford, Paul Foucault, J. Stafford, N. Case, J. E.

Love Potions. Love potions as used by the peasants of lower Austria and Syria are gen- erally taken by the person who wishes to be loved. The common habit is to consume minute portions of white ar- senic, which will in a few weeks de- velop & thin, pale girl into a plump, rosy cheeked beauty. Great care has to be exercised in taking the arsenic or death results, and when the habit 1s once formed it usually lasts for life, since the body becomes uncomfortable and even diseased, showing all the symptoms of arsenlc poisoning, if the habit is broken off. Some of the eastern nations use love potions differently. If a girl loves a man and he seems cold, she contrives to give him a drink of hasheesh, ob- ‘tained from Indian hemp. The man’s brain becomes fogged, and he is ready to believe anything that is suggested to him. The girl suggests to him that she Is beautiful and thus compels him to regard her unlovely features as she desires. The Human Electric Battery. The superstition that human beings should sleep with their heads to the north is believed by the French to have for its foundation a sclentific fact. They affirm that each human system is in itself an electric battery, the head being one of the electrodes, the feet the sther. Their proof was discovered from experiments which the Academy of Sciences was allowed to make on the |-} body of a man who was guillotined. This was taken the instant it fell and placed upon a pivot free to move as it might. The head part, after a little vacillation, turned to the north, and the body then remained stationary, It was turned half way round by one of the professors, and again the head end of the trunk moved slowly to the car- dinal point due north, the same results being repeated until the final arresta- tion of organic movement. The Tobacconist’s Efigy. One of the most peculiar things in the whole history of signs is the fact that while all other shopkeepers were patronizing the embryo painters the tobacconist always called upon the ‘woodcarver on the continent as well as in England. As long ago as Eliza- beth’s reign the wooden image of the black boy was the favorite sign of the tobacco dealers. Later the cus- tomary sign was the highlander or a figure of Sir Walter Raleigh. In Hol- land, for some strange reason, the to- bacconists adopted the dairymaid as their sign, with the motto, “Consola- tion for sucklings.” The Indian, nat- urally enough, has always been the predominant sign in this country, al- though once in awhile a reversion to type crops out with the ancient black boy. The Great Jenner. An Englishman had occasion to go often to an eminent physician and said to Jeames, “You will be tired of open-~ Ing the door for me.” “Not at all, sir,” ‘was the gracious reply; “you are but a hunit in the hocean,” Another Jeames was accustomed to say during his master’s occasional ab- “ | sences: “You had better try hopposite. There’s a very respectable man hop- posite as we often sends to when Sir Willlam is habsent. His name is Jen- ner.”—London Mail. How Long the Bills Last. A dollar bill has an average life of abaut fifteen months. Two dollar bills, not being quite so actively used, last on the average more than sixteen months. A five dollar bill lives on an average two years before It is worn out and the government is called upon to replate it. Ten dollar bills last about three years and twenty dollar bills more than four years.—Youth's Com- panion. No Bargains. “Eternal vigilance,” shouted the ora. tor, “is the price of liberty!” The wowen electors glances. “That Is ‘the same price as last year,” they remarked and shrugged their shoulders. There were no bargains to be had, and they lost Interest in the proceed- ings. exchanged The School. “How do you get those -clinging ways?” asked the country cousin, “Hanging from street car straps,” answered the city girl.—Washington Herald.

His dcath is thought to have been due to heart failure, #nd ‘the funeral will be held tomorrow.

The Nelson family are prominent farmers living near MclIntosh and are well known throughout the county. 5 Oid Soldier Dies. Thomas F.
