CRACKERS FOUND ALL over. Wantleroru of Uio Tribe Jn tho Went and North rs Well M the South.

I take it the cracker bolongs to a class by himself. Tho cinckors, all the way from the foot hills of tho Alleghanies in Laucaster couuty, Pa., to the mountains of Geor gia, aro, as I tako it, tho descendants of men from tho north of Ireland. Some of thorn reached this stato from Canada and went sonfli by way of tho old Cher ry Valley turnpike into Pennsylvania, and thence into Mary land and Virginia. They are the best of the oraokor tribe. They still havo some of tho religion thoy Ht art cd with and a remnant of en orgy. "You find a southern or western cracker now nud then with a good Now England name. There was an early Now England emigration to the south. I met out in tho mountains of Mie6onri a cracker who wns a direct deecoudant of tho old pro\ jcial governor of Massa chusetts. Endicott. He bore tho family name and had a trace of the New Eng l?nder in his face, though he could nei ther road nor write. He had, however, his grandfather's diploma from Harvard college. Tho grandfather hnd removed to North Carolina, and part or perhaps all of the family had drifted west and finally reached Missouri. The crackers had a way of traveling along tho moun tain valleys from state to state, and a good 'many wcut into Tennessee and Georgia. "?Now York Snn. Brave Sepoy* and Sikh*. Tho siego had lasted altogether 40 days, and there had been 89 men killed and 03 wounded.

The sikhs especially showed extraor dinary nerve. The worso tho ontlook the cheerier thoy grow. They would flit all day oloaniug their rifles, with a quiet smile, as though the anticipation of defeat had never entered their mind. They felt sure, they said, that the gov ernment wonld not desert them and that in dno time help wonld come. An ono of them torsely pnt it, "The arm of the government is slow, but it reaches very far." Indeed, no praise can be too great for the Sikhs, who were the very baokbono of tho defeuse.

Trustees will make separate list of white and colored Poll?. Thoy will also make a list of tho children between the ages of 0 and 21 years, distinguishing white from colored, and male from female. Those lists must be sent to the Commissioner at once as the ap portionment of the funds cannot be made until the lists are sent in.

In Modern Steam ttattleahlpa Athletlo 8*1 lore PUy n Minor Part. A proportion of the bluejackets of any fully rigged ship wero necessarily ath letes. The "npper yardmen" in a lino of battle ship or u frigate were excep tional men in this way, and mnob more so perhaps jrst about the time that sail power was receiving its death warrant (ban ever before. These young men had to raco aloft to nearly the highest points, at top speed, eight or ton times a week when the Khip was in harbor, to keep their heads and tna'ntaiu their breath ?while "holding on by their eyelids," as the phrase went, and niunipnlating with a careful and measured order of notion tho various und iutricato arrange ments for' 'crossing" or "sending down" tho royal nnd topgallant yards. It was all done at full speed, for it was uni versally held that tho nppor yardmen gavo a character to tho wholo ship and that one whieli was foromost in this ex eroiso was ever considered "the smart est Bhip in tho floot. " Tho upper yard mouworo nlways tho coming men. They had moat opportunities for distinguish ing themsolvos, were the best known, mid wore most under the eye of tho au thorities. Thoy dovoloped groat muscu lar power in chest, shonlders and arms. Their lower extrowities suffered, and ouo always knew tho men who had been upper yardmen by their tadpololiko ap pearance when they were bathing. But in tho modern steam lino of bat tlo ship nnd frigate those extremely oth lotio specimens formod a very small minority of tho "ship's company," and nouo of them could lose his turn at be ing uppor yardman so long as tho ship's reputation dopeuded on tho speed with which the upper yards wero crossed and Bent down. In harbor tho rest of tho bluejackets had tho handling of yards and sails for exercise onoe or twico a week, but at sea the uso of sails for pro pulsion grow less nud loss important, and most of tho work nloffc was more of an oxcrciso and loss of a necessity. ? North American Roviow. Pcoplo Who Eat Hair. It is difficult to imagine peoplo eating hair, but tlieio are many, especially girls and young womon, who do so, as experience proves. Doctors conducting post mortom examiuations have been surprised to find a largo quantity of hair in tho stomach of tho deceased per son. Not long ago an English medical mnn found as much as four pounds of hair in tho stomach of a woman about 80 years old, and similar eases havo been officially reported from various parts of tho world.

The Advertiser will give a line Bicycle to the boy or girl, man or woman or child who will bring in the largest list of subscribers be tween now and February 1, 1896, the cash to accompany the subscrip tion. ttftyi iB^?ite mim ' .Is an "Acme" Machine made by the Acme Cycle Company, oi Elkhart, Indiana. The Winner of the Machine may make Iiis own selection from their catalogue. The "Acme" Bicycles cost One Hundred, Ninety and Eighty live Dollars each. The winner makes his or her choice from the Catalogue, regardless of price. liitliisi ?1 lit dtatti^ All you have to do is to get cash subscribers to The ADVERTISER. Any boy 01 girl can get subscribers. Any person young or old can get this fine" bicycle by making a little effort. A list of live subscribers may win it. If a lady wins the bicycle she may get a ladies' wheel. Or she may get a gentleman's wheel and sell it if she prefers. It is a good plan to begin work at once. As soon as you get a subscriber send in his name and the money so that the paper may be promptly sent to him. State that you are a con testant for the bicycle and an accurate list will be kept of all the names you send. Two half year or four three months subscribers will be counted in the contest as one. No Loss Possible. Not Even of Time. "If I don't get the largest list I shall have had my trouble for nothing" you say. No you won't either. The Aijver tiser will give at the end ot the contest, except to the winner of the bicycle, twenty-five cents for each subscriber sent in by a contestant. So if you get forty subscribers you may win the bicycle. If you don't you get ten dollars anyhow. No person in any way connected with The ADVERTISER will be allowed to enter the contest. Don't lose a minute. Begin at once. Who gets the "jump'' has a big advantage. ? I WOULD m BURN IT ff INTO THE f MINDS OF PiTHEPEOPJ El That there is not a family anywhere to which money means so much? ten cents means so much?that it can. afford not to ex change ten cents a month for the art, the refinement, the pleasure, and the information that a copy of Munsey's Magazine will bring to the fireside.
