' A tobacco shed on title farm of* Ro­ land Kyle, three miles cast o f Cedar- ville, was burned Wednesday morn­ ing together with its contents, includ­ ing about 7000 pounds of tobacco, There seems bu t little doubt but that it is the workof ati incendiary. On Tuesday morning Mr. Kyle arose and discovered the barn afire and as it had not obtained much headway i t was extinguished easily. A t the time, knowing no fire had been about the bam, he supposed some chicken thief had been there t a d dropped a match, bu t* repetition of the i r e the next morning exploded that theory. Both fireeoriginated about the same time in the morning. The tobacco belonged to Fetor Morgan, and he had, ju st about got. through stripping it.

Iteoositeeeff a small paper box, divided Intooouw partmenta in which can he found A wood tub. or glam ja r called a wink pot, a number of bone or celluloid chips a little larger In circumference than a quarter of a dollar, called tiddlediea, ' and a large number of smaller chip* about the alze of a dime, called winks. Each hand, consisting of one tiddiedy snd'slx winks, is -o f a color, and, while there are generally four hands in a box, there may bo as many as colors can bo had. Each of, the parties playing a t a, table, over which there should be a soft1 cover, takes onc tiddledy and six winks,, and, placing ■ them ten to twelve inches from the wink pot, located in the cen­ ter, endeavors in turn to flip the winks into the. wink pot. The flippingprocess to accomplished by placing the tiddiedy firmly upon the wink and then by draw­ ing or sliding it off the edge of the-wink to flipped and bounced toward, the wink pot, if aimed in that direction. The one who tips M b six winks into the wink pot first: wins the game. Soma very nice points are' involved, which ex­ perience will teach how to discriminate between. When, one person’s wink flips upon that of another and remains there* the lower wink can not be removed until relieved by the owner of the upper wink, Avhich is an annoying dis­ advantage to the proprietor of the. under wink. I t requires not a little skill to give the wink the proper flip; and tlxe sport derived from the awk­ wardness of the inexperienced and the ohstiuancy of the chips is hilarious. MENDING An Expertuient THE GRAIN. bins u tar o f u i.,iro a n d Xathre. Dr. W. G. Thompson,, professor of physiology of the University Medical College, recently accomplished the re­ markable surgical feat of transferring the brains of a dog and cat while both, wore alive. Tho object of the experi­ ment, says tho Chicago Tribune, Was to show that brain tissue may bo grafted Avithout interfering with tho normal functions of the body. The laboratory of tho college- was the scene of the vivisection. After first bathing the an­ imals in a weak solution o f ,hi-cMorffiC of mercury, they were etherized, and sufficient of the skulls was sawed off, through which tho larger portions of tho brains of each wore taken. Tabby's brains boenmo liido’s property and vice versa. The openingswore closed and dressed with antiseptic bandages. The room was kept a t exact blood' heat during the operation, in order to guard against a cold. Tlio patients were then placed In safe quarters and carefully watched, until they were deemed sufficiently recovered to be ex­ hibited to a class of one hundred and fifty students. Tho cat seemed to bo all right and the dog moved about with almost ns much freedom as when ho hod his oavd brains, though ho seemed perhaps a little stupid. At tho time of the operation and just after the brains had been taken out the animals lost -'Tho list of bills to come before the j feeling in tho paws, but tho union, of council was the smallest in years, only I °,1(1 “?w „ , , „ ,, J * 3 developed that the sensation bad re- three being paid, us follows: ‘ 830.83 15.00 •John Griudlc, Jus.
