this city yesterday evening for Fort
Griffin consisted of thirty-four wagons,
each wagon being drawn by from
twelve to twenty-four mules. All the
drivers were Mexicans, tawny, scowl-
ing, lurld of eye and racy with dirt.
The train was in charge of Jose Mari
ma, who delivered his orders in sib-
liant spleen and straight from the
stirrups.

For every breach OF the laws of health that
we commit the stomach inhicts II penalty.
Headache, :bilio usness nervous tremors, de-
blity and mental depression are only n few
of the punishmenis which an outraged
stomach is capable of imposing upon us. To
bring back this vengeful organ to its normal
condition, to placate, invigorate and regu-
late it, there is nothing in the wide world SO
potent as II course OF Hostetter's Stomach
Bittcrs. Under the operation OF this bench
cent vegetable corrective and tonic, the gas
tric becomes II pure and healthful solvent
and resumes its NATURAL flow. The effect Is
the same on the hillary secretion, and in fact
on all the fluids of the body, and the final re-
suit is the removal of every painful or un-
pleasant symptom accustomed by the rebel
ious action of the digestive organ.

The Thimble.

The name of this little instrument is
said to have been derived from Z" thumb
bell," being at first thumble, and after
wards thimble. 1t is of Dutch invention,
and was brought to England about the
year 1895, by John Lofting, who COM
menced its manufacture at Islington,
near London, and pursued it with great
profit and success. Formerly iron and
brass were used, but latterly steel, silver
and gold have taken their places. In
the ordinary manufacture, tin plates of
metals are introduced into a die, and
then punched into shape. In Paris,
gold thimbles are manufactured to a
large extent. Thin sheets of sheet-iron
are cut into dies of about two inches in
diameter. These being heated red-hot,
are struck with punch into number
of holes, gradually increasing in depth,
to give them the proper shape. The
thimble is then trimmed, polished, and
indented around its outer surface with
number of little holes, by means of
small wheel. 1t is then converted into
steel by the cementation process, tenn
pered, secured, and brought to q blne
color. A thin sheet of gold is then in
troduced into the interior, and fastened
to the steel by means of polished steel
mandril. Gold leaf is then applied to
the outside, and attached to it by pres
sure, the edges being fastened in small
groove made to receive them. The
thimble is then ready for use. Those
made in this manner do dot wear out, as
so many ordinary thimbles do, but will
last for wears. The gold coating, if cut
away by needles, may be easily replaced,
but the steel is of an excellent quality,
and very durable.

A victimized man speaks eloquently
in behalf of his unprotected susceptible
ities There is a certain style of woman
who affects the most innocent simplicity
on questions to which every one pass
first childhood can give an answer; whose
cue is naipe ignorance, whose charm is
her unenlightenment. She absolutely
makes boast of her ignorance; the tone
in which she says, "Oh! you are too
clever for poor little me to talk to; and /
dare say you are right; but then l am
such little goose l do not understand
you" quite sufficient to annihilate you
for the evening, If you chance to be one
of those unlucky ones who are sensitive
as to the impression they make. She, so
simple, SO untutored, the child of nature,
makes it plain to you that you have gone
on a wrong road when you have spoken
TO her as to a reasonable, decent educa-
ton, and have assumed that she possess
es mind and some degree ofinstruction.
She is all heart; If you like, she can ex-
patiate on her dear dog, or that darling
boat r,.ce; but she can not let you think
that she has ever used the eyes of her
mind, or seen anything deeper than the
selfevident superficialities of life. Her
subjects of conversation are few; all she
wants to talk about is the opera, or the
fashions, or the latest scandal, the latest
amusements; and anything to make her
use her brain, though in the mildest way,
ruffles her serenity and transforms you
into bore of the first magnitude.

A Cat Saves a Building from Destruc-
ton bY Fire.

Mrs. A. Rice, who keeps a boarding
house on Randolph street, near Hotel
Erickson, has cat which, through her
marvellous intelligence and instructive
representations, has become valuable
acquisition to the household as well as
the pet of all the boarders. At different
times within q year, through forewarn-
ings of an unmistakable nature, has Tabby
protected the house against the intrusions
of sneak thieves, once saving the prem
ises from threatened inundation, caused
by the sudden bursting of water-pipe
at night; at another time rescuing the
inmates, through timely alarm, from
being smothered by escaping gas, ver-
dant lodger having blown out the flame
instead of turning il off. But Friday
night she capped the climax and proved
herself a paragon of usefulness. 1t ap-
pears, that one of the boarders, who had
been reading in the parlor, instead of
turning down the side light before re-
firing, as is customary, left it burning,
unnoticed, in close proximity to the door
(the fixture being a movable one). The
heat, coming in contact with the varnish,
soon ignited the woodwork and started a
blaze, which but for the cats sagacity
would soon have called out the fire de-
partment. The cracking of the flames
must have aroused the intelligent crea-
ture, for she rushed up stairs and mewed
in front of the door leading to Mrs Rice's
bedroom. This demonstration not having
the desired effect, the animal scratched at
the paneling of the door quite forcibly,
and eyinced so much restlessness that
Mrs Rice, knowing that something must
be wrong, arose to ascertain the cause OF
the disturbance. On opening the door
she found the corridor full of smoke. To
wake the inmates was but the work of a
moment. This accomplished she rushed
down stairs, and, with the assistance OF
the dodgers, the flames, which had by
this time gained considerable Roadway,
were extinguishcd, fortunately before
much damage had been done: After
order had been restored her ladyship,
the cat, jumped about in apparent high
glee at what she had accomplished, ap-
pearing to thoroughly realize the inn
portance of her situation. Mrs. Rice

And do you know, 1 think she is singu-
larly interesting. can understand how
a man like Frederick Arnold, standing
all day in the vivid arena of his time,
using that eloquent voice of his at some
strain above all the conficts-I can un-
derstand how he may come home at
night to that enshrined wife"
Enshrined you may well say" ex-
claimed the other. "And am sure that
IOught to pity him. But, upon my word,
all the beauty lavished in that house
vanished from my ears, it was SO utterly
subordinate to that one central couch
where his wife lay. 1 was just impressed
with the vague idea that all the joys of
life had been knitted into wreath to
hang around "A dying image. Ten
years? Well, let me never say again
there is no constancy in man."
To which commentary Elsie might
have added, "And in all these ten years
of devotion, not word has crossed my
husbands lips of that dark night when
he came home, loving, and his wife
shrank from him as from stranger"
And Fred might have added, in the
simplicity of his loyal heart, "Strange
that woman like my wife, of soul so
infinitely graceful that whatever comes
near her is nodded into harmony, and
who inspires the homage of the most
gifted minds, should be as unconscious
of her charm as little child. / shall
never forget-it was few weeks after we
had brought her home, and while there
was still some hope of recovery-I heard
her say to her physician, Can't you pos
sibly, dear doctor, make me well enough
to move about? Can't you restore to me
little of woman's gracefulness? My
husband loves me for my grace"
