WHEN 52 MEANT SOMETHING 0 SOLONS Harrison, Ark., Jan. 13.—There was a lime in the history of the United States whbn . $62, representing a year's loss or te members of congress, was a factor in the consideration of a proposed moving of the seat of govern- ment, and, according to an officer of n::c Bhme congress, $52 a year was ‘“no trifiing consideration.” . \ _This bit of history is contained in a letter written by Charles Thomson, sec- retary of the Centinental congress during the several years of its existence, to his wite. Hannah, an aunt of President Wil- Jiam Henry Harrison. The letter is dated Princeton, Aug. 21, 1783, the congress then: being Im session in the New Jersey téwn, and was addressed to “Mrs. Thom- won, cormer of Spruce and Fourth 'St., Philadelphia.” It was proposed that the residence of congress be removed to Elizabethtown, N. 3., but, according to the letter, there was opposition on the ground that “lodging” in" Elizabethtown would cost $4 a week, whereas it could be obtained for $3 a week in Princeton. Whether the “hizh st _of living” in Elizabethtown finally @wayed: the congress in rejecting it is not #isciosed, but history records that the esngress met in Annapolis, Md., after leaving Princeton, and at no time sat at ‘Elizabethtown. 3The letter, in part, which recently came te the possession of Mrs. Rex Worth- mun of Harrison, a descendant of Mr. “Thomson, follow: “Dear Hannah:— I have received your letters dated Monday 12 o'clock and Tuesday 10 o'clock at night and acknowledged the receint of them. . . . . . Mr. Rend was misinform- ed respecting the adjournment.

Druggists Have Secured the Re- .. markable Preparation and Are Authorized to Sell it on 10 Days Trial. Try It The discovery of CAMPHOROLE has aroused a great deal of interest among the doctors, who report the wondegful resulta obtained. CAMPHOROLE represents the theory of medication, soothing and loosening up those stiff, heumatic joints. It reduces inflam- mation and drives out pain. Instantly you will breathe 2 sigh of relief as its soothing and cooling effect reaches the sore spots.

I am very apprehen- sive that nothing but some calamity will awaken the states to a sense of their sit- situation. . ¢ . . . B The president of the con- gress has not provided a house for himself nor is it likely he will find one here to suit him. 1 find Elizabethtown has been talked of at his table as a proper place | for residence of congress. He has a house there which he says has twenty rooms and which he will let for the use of the president. It is true the place i\ infested with mosquitoes in summer and lying low and near marshes may be liable to ir mittents in the spring and fall, but these are trifling when it is considered that by fixipg the residence of congress there the value \of his estate will be increased and he will have an opportunity of let house at a good rent. But yet I clined to believe this will be opn. his colleagues; for Mr. Condit has found And there is reason to fear t bethtown, whirh Is so near New York, it will cost him at least four. This would be a clear loss of $52 a year, which is no trifling consideration, and which I dare- say will have due weight ‘with some oth- ers. There are #er weighty considera- tions which might be mentioned. “Your loving husband, “CHAS.

To dis- charge the salt from the shaker, one has only to push the plunger, No. 11 Tn Fig. 2, this opens the outlet in the bottom and the salt is sifted out as desired according to the pressure on *he plunger. To pre- vent the hardening of the salt through moisture, there is a moisture proof wash. er in the bottom or. which fits the plunger. There is also a grinder that will grind up small lumps that are frequently found in salt. To-refill the shake all that is neeessary to do is to remove the top, FNo. 17, and place in the salt. Mr. Pasnik feels that his invention will fll a long felt need and has already se- cured figures on the glass work for the sides and base of the shaker as well as a price on 'the metal work. The shaker will be assembled in Norwich and each article J.1 will bear the word “Norwich” on it.
