W. C. Manhattan, Kansas. Unfamiliar. It is said that a candidate who was more famous for his interest in sport than his knowledge of politics was addressing a Scotch political meeting.

Just to test the candidate's Ignorance, a schoolmaster sent up a slip of paper asking his opinion of tne Decalogue The candidate was utterly puzzled and turned to some one on tho platform and asked him what the Decalogue was. The man on the platform, being something of a wag, whispered iu his reply, "Flogging in the army." The candidate at once burned to the meeting and said, "I would, If elected certainly do away with the Decalogue at once.

A young woman caused some excitement In a Main street car which was coming downtown tho other morning, while the rootorman was one of the most disgusted men of tho crowd. Tho people in the front of the car could look out along the track and a square away they saw a woman with an urn- brella standing with one foot on tho. track. She stood there as the car' camo rapidly toward her and did not' move.

The following story is told of tho late Dr. Jesse Swelt of Brownflohl, an able but eccentric physician: An urgent call reached him one day from Westboro, asking his imme diate attendance there, ns a man was very ill, and no one could be found to diagnose his disease. Dr. Swett made haste to Ret there and, upon entering the room where the sick man lay, ordered all others to leave the room at once.

When they were gone, he turned to the man and said: 'You have smallpox, and you will be in hell Inside of two days." Bat the doctor saved him, neverthe less. Pennypacker in Wrong Pocket. S. M. Griffith, water commissioner of Altoona, was coming up from l'hila- Iphia a day or two ugo and two seats ahead of him In the car sat Gov, Pennypacker.

Their top coats hung side by side on the wall of tho car. Suddenly the Governor arose and began going through tho pockets of Mr. Griffith's coat. 'Is there anything in that coat you would like to have?" asked the water commissioner, leaning lorwarn. His Excellency scrowled at this ap parent Impertinence, but Mr.

Griffith only smiled and nodded toward the coats. Still the Governor did not scein to understand. 'If there is I'll be glad to got it for you," added Mr. urimui, still smiling affably. Then the Governor "tumbled," glanced at the coats, saw that ho was the wrong one and stammered an apology.

Pittsburg Dispatch. "A Wise Woman. Many women wear thin linen under clothing In winter and then they lllog-ically complain of red noses, enlarged veins in the face, rough, red hands and a dry, ill-nourished skin. Now, the way to maintain a soft, supple skin and a clear and pinky complexion Is to keep up a plentiful supply of blood near the surface all over the body. A wise women knows that nothing Is more destructive to a lovely skin than cold feet.

Therefore, even If she indulge In the vanity of spun silk or perforated hose, she uses cork soles in her shoes bo as to keep up the circulation of the blood, upon which the skin depends so largely tor its softness and luster. Lack of warmth In the abdomen leads to a congested state of the liver and the huge network of blood vessels which control the supply of nourishment to the skin are situated In the abdomen. The middle of the body should be kept warm and free from th chills which cause contraction of the blood vessels. Chicago News. Good for ths Health.

Tho municipal laboratory of Par's has been examining the experiments made by Dr. Vogel. who has manufactured a very succulent cheese from the small Chinese beans known as "soy beans." The doctor finds that the pulp of these beans contains many of the caseine qualities, and that the resulting comnosition is both nourishing and pleasant to the taste. The London Lancet finds that the chestnut Is the most digestible nut, and cannot only take the place of the potato, as in France, where chestnuts, boiled and mashed like potatoes, maka a delicious dl3h, hut In reality they ara a more perfect form of food. According to the Lancet's analysis of tho potato and tho chestnut, the latter contains less water, more proteid, more fat and starch, but less mineral matter than the potato, and Is more di-gesti'ble than the latter.

Like the po tato, also, its nutritive and digestive qualities are greatest when baked or roasted. Greatest Cold Yet Known. In the northern hemisphere the greatest cold seems to have been observed at Werchojansk, In Siberia, where It is stated that tho thermometer goes down as low as 93 degrees below zero. However, according to the Informa tion which has been brought by the Russian artist Borrlssoff, certain parts of Nova Zembla seem to show at least as low a temperature as the above. The bulletin of the Soclete Astronom-ioue states that in an excursion which M.

Borrissoff made lately In the strait of MatotchkJn ho discovered a box containing two thermometers, ono a maximum and the other a minimum recording thermometer. It Is supposed that these Instruments belonged to Hofor, an Austrian geologist, who made an expedition to this spot in 1S72. Ono of the thermometers was found to have registered the temperature as 59 degrees as a maximum, while the r.nccnd Instrument showed that the r-'c- iLBt cold bo- to J. of troubles and cares and expect to have a pleasant time for about 10 days. we know of no one more deserving of a good time than Oliver and Nancy, and here's hoping that, they may.
