Some writer very aptly likens the nerves to electric wire?, and thf> general working of I heir system to that of electric cars. A man who "slips his trolley" like Mr. Jeremiah Eney, 1812 W. Lombard St., Baltimore, MJ., will need something better than even a galvanic battery to set him all right. Mr. Eney found that something in the following way. "I suffered," he says, "a Jong time with neuralgia in the head. I gave St. Jacobs Oil a fair trial and am entirely cured." In this way the great remedy acts as a motorman to restore broken wires, and set the system to perfect action. Grass and Clover Setd.

Tbe town of Pleasanton, Kan., has come into prominexice by having elected a woman Mayor. It is a much larger place than either of the two other villages which in the past four years have distinguished themselves by choosing a tvnmATi for a chief executive, and prob ably outside of the State of Kansas euch an unusual idea as selecting a woman for city marshal has never occurred to the voters. At a special election held in Pleasanton on January 36, Mrs. Annie S. Austin was elected Mayor over J. W. Primmer, a merchant of the town. Hei election -was a signal victory for prohition and woman suffrage, and the cam paign was an animated one. She re ceiveda majority of twelve votes in the town of 1500 inhabitants, notwithstanding the fact that 'her oppof MBS. ANNIE S. AUSTIN, MAYOR OF PLEASANTON, KAN. nent was a representative of the business men and was nominated on a "business men's" ticket. She headed the "citizen's" ticket, and asked only for the support of those who sympathized with her reforms?who were opposed to saloons commonly known as ' 'joints" nnd frftirihlin^ rooms. Her election is regarded as significant of the result of the vote on the question of equal suffrage, 'which will be submitted to the voters of the State next fall, and congratulations have been pouring in od her from all the eminent female suffragists of the 'Nation. Mrs. Austin is a native of Illinois. She was,reared in Peoria, 111., but left there twelve years ago. She is a buxom woman of 200 pounds, and quite intelligent, though her general appearance may not be expressive of the latter fact. The Kansas Good Templars, of which order she is grand superintendent of the juvenile temple, sent her as a delegate to the National convention at Detroit last year, and she became prominent in the councils of that organization by her activity and adaptability to its work. Her husband is a railroad man, and she is the mother of three children, all in their teens. She is prominent in church work, and is sufficiently familiar with most of her townsmen to address them by their first names and talk politics or religion with freedom. She was the leading speaker of the campaign, but was elected by her personal electioneering.?Chicago Herald. The Cur*;v Ie a native of South America. There are more than twelve species of them. The beet known is Crested Curassow, which has been domesticated in its native land. It is of a greenish black color with a white crest. It much resembles the turkey in size, genera) characteristics and quality of flesh. Some claim that the flesh is whiter and of finer flavor. When taken from their home in the northern part oJ < - ^r-v. the curassow. * South America they will thrive in fairsized flocks in aviaries if kept on dry soil and given plenty of shade and shelter, and given the same care as bestowed upon turkeys. Our illustration ie taken from a drawing by Sewell for the Poultry Monthly, of one of a pair on exhibition at Madison Square Garden, New York City, which was jnuch admired and brought out many commendations. There is no doubt about their good points, and it will probably not be long before some live poultry breeder will push them to tho front.?Lloyd's Modern Poultry Book. The Servant Was Willing. A lady, whose Christian name was Jane, and who had a little daughter named for her, was engaging a housemaid, whese name also proved to be Jane. Knowing that the preponderance of the one name in the household would occasion confusion, she said to the maid ?a tall, angular spinster, with high cheek bonee and angular features: "I believe that it would be better for us all if I called you by vour last name, if you do not object." "Shure and I have no objections, mum. Yon can call me by my last name." ".But yon have not tol.l mo your last name yet." "Shure and my last name is Darling. New York Herald. A Sadden Change of B:ise. ?Worthingtrn b Magazino A Rabbit Drive. For those who have never Jived in the country where rabbits are plentiful and whofie knowledge of these lit- M tie gray balls of fur is confined to a tmir of nptH in a r>fii in the garden, it ,, will be bard to realize what a sieht i in cc ? ? BEGINNING THE DRIVE. pi W hundreds of them in a drove would be. They make raids on the farmer's wheal -r field, orchard and vegetable garden and do a great deal of damage with ^ their sharp teeth. e] The means by which the country is B] partially rid of these little pests is known as a rabbit drive, iu which all . the neighborhood assists; the men and 7. boys attending to help, and their wives . and sisters to look on. An event of the kind is of no little importance. P By 11 o'clock on a day set for such an 11 expedition the crowd has gathered near 11 a corner of the section to be driven, where the men and boys are soon busy h making the pen. ' ^ This is done by fastening wire net- ^ ting by means of wooden pins to the ^ wires of the fence and to some posts d that have been set for the purpose. ^ thus forming an inclosure with an n opening in the centre of the side facing the section to be driven. The wire 8 - - - .. a netting is also stretched along tne fence in either direction for a half mile from the corner where the pen has ? been constructed, forming two long ^ wings. * Now a captain is elected, who divides the company of perhapfe thirty horsemen, sending half down each wing, ^ and al6o stations men with gans and ^ club6 at intervals along the line. Each fl band of horsemen has a leader, who r places his men at intervals over the allotted scope of country. When these two leaders meet a yell is given, j which is echoed along the line as a signal to begin to close in toward the pen. The rabbits, frightened by the hur- j rying hoofs and continued yelling are j seen running wildly in all directions, a but approaching nearer and nearer the t trap laid for them. By the time they ^ come in range of the guns the little creatures are too tired tu run fast and B are easily killed. When the guns "are p few and the clubs are busy elsewhere, jj Btones are thrown by an expert and a v rabbit falls, hit in the head. Some run e against the netting in their fright and Q their eyes are put out. All this time a there are many in the pen, 300 or more, $ '' ' THE JACK RABBIT. t: \ if the drive is a good one running p wildly about, trying bard to avoid tbe "w seemingly cruel blows from tbe clubs b of tbeir enemies. Perhaps the pen b will break, but that does not often n happen, and the ground will soon be p 9trewn with the slain rabbits. v> Withal, it is very exciting, but the a timid and tender hearted shudder. As E an amusement, slaughter in this whole- It sale manner would not be tolerated, r; but sir.ce the sturdy farmers are thus p defending their crops, it may be sanctioned. c Some one will say, "Why do not the n rabbits run in their holes?" So here a we call attention to the marked differ 3k ence between the rabbit and what is r: properly termed the hare. It is the I former that burrows in the ground, n and to which species our pets belong, h The latter, witn wnicn mis sKeicn b?b c to do, are much larger, are mule-eared b and seek safety in their fleetness; bet- c ter known, perhaps, as the jack rab- i] bit. ?St. Louis Republic.

It is pon the aged that the battle falls ardly, who are weakened by failing ealth, and, perhaps, enervated by Dng years of prosperity Moderation is a fear of falling into nvy, and into the contempt which hose deserve who become intoxicated nth their good fortune; it is a vain istentation of the strength of our aind; in short, the moderation of aen in their highest elevation is a deire of appearing greater than their ortune. ' Across me laqui tuunirj, Charles T. Naylor, an American iroepector, left the city of Chihuahua, lexico, eight months ago for a trip cross the Sierra Madre Mountains and hrough the wild and dangerous coun* ry inhabited by the Yaqui Indians. His trip was made in the search of ilver and gold, aud was the most desierate undertaking imaginable. Mr. Baylor's route from Chihuahua was by ray of Tomochic, the town which was ntirely depopulated in an attach lade upon the inhabitants over a yeai go by Mexican troops, who massacred he men,.women, and children. Mr. Naylor Btates that in the mounains west of the fated town he came pon a band of about 200 Tomochic raves who had an almost impenetra le rendezvous upon which all attacks i Mexican soldiers had proved futile. Jpon observing that Mr. Naylor was n American bent upon a peaceable lission, he waa well received. He pent two weeks with the Tomochics nd then entered the Yaqui country, t was there that he met with difficulies. He was captured by a band of raqnis and held prisoner several days ending a decision from the chief as to 'hat disposition should be made of im. After several solemn councils y the chief with the other prominent lembers of the tribe, Mr. Naylor was laced upon a horse and with two mounded Indians as guards was started cross the country toward the west, te passed through a number of viliges and was never permitted to tary longer than one night at a single lace. At the western confines of the Yaqui ountry his gnards left him and he lade his way with great difficulty cross the mountains to Hermosillo. Ir. Naylor tells some marvelous stoies of the mineral richness of the aqui country and states that the umber of members of the Yaqui tribe as been greatly underestimated. He laims to have Been fully 3000 armed raves. Some of the Indian towns ontain handsome chapels and buildags, all of Aztec architecture. Mr. lavlor is the first white man that is nown to have crossed the Yaqui ountry. There liave been numerous tterapts made, but the Yaquis always iterfered. This is the only tribe in lexico which has never been conuered.?Chicago Times. Cut Off the Spy's Ears. The following is an incident of the roubles between Spain and the native loors in the Murilla district: A parol of a Spanish band caught a Moor a Spanish territory, and, before the aptain heard of the capture, cot off be man's ears. It turned out, howver, that the Moor was a spy in the ay of the Spaniards, duly provided rith a safe conduct, and when he eached the fort his outcry against the utrage to which he had been subjectd produced a great effect. He could ever return, he said, to his country, or the very women would ask him rhere were his ears that had heard iews in his own country which he had arried to the enemies of his people, le had abandoned a country where he inhabitants mutilated the dead, nd was now among a people who muilated the living. When Marshal lampoB heard of the affair he ordered court-martial to be held. A member f the baud Darned Jose Ferreau Riera oufetjsed that he had cut off the ears, oso had some time before escaped ino Moorish territory and taken refuge t the house of the spy, who had, owever, given liiui up to the Spanish nthorities. ?
