What IA Hearty Appetite Did.

Not so very long ago there arrived at
San Antonio, Tex, gentleman from a
large town ON the railroad between there
and Galveston. He put up at one of
the hotels, and displayed tremendous
appetite. At the end of the week he ex-
pected to be presented with his bill, but
no bill was presented, although he had
no luggage at all. Time went on and
still no bill. The landlord treated him
with lofty courtesy, as did the walters.
One night, however, he did not return to
the hotel, and next morning the landlord
hired detective, who hunted and found
him. The stranger thought the land
lord was going to have him put in Jail
for swindling, or something else, and he
felt very much alarmed about it. But
no. The landlord was as pleasant as
ever. He asked the stranger what he
had done that he should desert his hotel
that way, inquired whether the walters
had offended him, and finally begged
him to return to his hotel once more,

Kissing the Floor at Her Feet.

Shula Garvaile, a sailor from the Rus
sian war vessel Svetlana, was fined five
dollars in a New York police court for
drunkenness. Before he had been taken
to the city prison to spend five days in
lieu of paying the fine, handsomely
dressed woman entered the court and
besought the justice to remit the fine.
She spoke English with a Russian ac-
cent The justice said with smile that
there was no use trying to resist woman
who appeared to be pleading for fellow
countryman from entirely disinterested
motives, and, in consideration of the
fact that the prisoner was a sailor in
strange country, he would remit the
fine and allow him to go free. The
woman was given the discharge paper,
and she went joyfully to the door of the
prison apartment. To the prisoner, a
manly looking tar in full Russian uni
form, she explained what she had done,
and Immediately began vigorous lee
ture in Russian on his evil conduct. He
asked who she was, and she replied
"The widow of Russian general" lie
expressed establishment, and she pointed
to a silver Maltese cross, the center of
which had been wrought into shield,
embossed with the Russian eagle, and
crossed with two swords. 1t was worn
as brooch. On seeing this evidence of
her rank, the sailor prostrated himself
before her, and kissed the floor at her
feet. She hastily raised him up aid ac-
companied him out of court To ques-
tions as to who she was, she politely re-
piled that's was the prisoners friend.
The only knowledge concerning her was
obtained from her conversation with the
prisoner, which was only partly under
stood by the court interpreter.

Risnnrck.

This month the reading public is to be de-
lighted with the authentic biography of the
foremost statesman in the world, disclosing
curious researches into his ancestry and lively
incidents of his youth and student life, coupled
with close analysis of his remarkable public
career down to the present time-a translation
from the German. with an Introduction by
Bayard Taylor. A spirited, absorbing and in
structive narrative, replcte with anecdote. wit
and wisdom, its pages gather luster here and
there from characteristic speeches and private
letters of Bismarck himself The story of his
life is rendered doubly vivid by upwards of one
hundred illustrative home scenes, battles. por-
traits, etc.
1t will be sold by canvassers, whose time for
real Biz-marks the hour of its publication.

promising to furnish him with oysters or

promising to furnish him with oysters or
anything else he might wish.
The stranger was astounded. He told
the landlord that he couldn't pay his
board. The landlord replied he did
not want any board, and finally extorted
from the stranger the promise to return
to the hotel.
After few days, the stranger took the
landlord aside, thanked him with tears
in his eyes, and asked him why he was
so anxious for him to eat at that hotel
free of charge.
"I'll tell you," was the reply "I
don't care cuss for you personally, but
since you have been eating here I have
had forty more guests to dinner than I
ever had before. They come here for
no other purpose than to look at you eat

4 Card for Rational Readers.

Irrational people always reject good advice,
and in nothing is their folly more frequently
conspicuous than in ignoring precautions neces-
sary for the retention of health. Forecast, on
the other hand, is a notable characteristic of
the rational and it is the exercise of this quality
which we would suggest to them Protect the
system against diseases which fasten upon the
debilitated, the nervous and the dyspeptic, by
bracing the physique, regulating the stomach,
bowels and liver, and banishing despondency
with the purest and most efficient of botanic
invigorants, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. That
these effects follow its use, and that it prevents
as well as annihiates intermittent and remit
tent fevers. are facts established by indispu-
table evidence. To enjoy the twin blessings OF
" a sound mind and a sound body" in all theil
plentitude, try a course of this sterling medi-
cine.

Five Thousand Books Given Away for the
Asking.

While DR.. III. James was attached to the
British medical staff in the East Indies, his high
position enabled him to call about him the best
chemists, physicians and scientists of the day,
and while experimenting with and among the
natives, he accidentally made the discovery that
CONSUMPTION can be positively and perma-
nently cured. During the many years of his
sojourn there he devoted his time to the treat
ment of lung diseases, and upon his retirement
he left with us books and papers containing full
particulars, showing that every one can be his
own physician and pr9pare h's own medicine,
and such information az we have received we
now offer to the public without price, only ask
ing that each remit three cent stamp for post

Disease Spread by TailOrs.

The other day delegation from the
Amalgamated Society Of Tailors waited
upon the British government in the per-
son of Under Secretary Cross. Their
object was to lay before him some facts
in connection with what was called the
sweating system" One of the delega-
ton said he had seen instances in which
garments were lying on bed in which
fever patients were suffering. There were
great many instances in which
such things had taken place. They con-
sidered that if an employer got people
to take work home, he should be bound
to get the place to which it was taken
registered, and hoped Mr.. Cross could
see his way clear to make it imperative
that every house used as q tailor's work.
shop should be so registered by the en-
ployer. A delegate from Manchester
gave the results of visits to 1000 homes
where this work was carried on. and
stated that the condition of things was
something deplorable. In some cases
four or five persons were at work in
room nine feet by twelve feet. Some
times people were making hese garments
in the midst of their domestic arrange
ments. From the facts that had come
under his knowledge, he had no hesita-
ton in saying that the state of things
required alteration, and that the people
engaged were in a most unhealthy condi-
ton. They found somewhere near
1900 people engaged in this way, and
all the surroundings of the place were
such as would foster and spread disease.
Another delegate said in some instances
in London man and woman would be
at work in Il small room at the top Of a
house, in which they lived and slept
The people occupied in this work were
so crowded together that the places could
not fail to foster and spread disease
While people went to large shops with
snowy fronts, they did not know that the
clothes they purchased were made in
close and unhealthy rooms. He knew a
case in which while the body of child
who had died from small-po lay dead on
the table, and two other children were
sick with the disease, the man and wife
were at work in the same room, and
twelve fashionable coats were in the
same room, which would be sent al
over the town. Mr.. Cross said he would
introduce bill after Easter to cover the
| case,

This singular man lived in Greece. He was
distinguished for his eccentricities, bad man
ners and bad disposition. 1t was his chief
business to find fault. For example, he took a
lantern one day when the sun was shining
brightly and went out to search for an honest
man, thereby insinuating that such persons
were exceedingly scarce. When Alexander,
distinguished military gentleman, paid him a
visit, and inquired what he could do for him.
he had the impudence to tell him to ''get out
of his sunshine To cap the climax of his
oddities, he dressed like beggar and lived in
tub! He was n sour grabbed, crusty old
bachelor. We infer that he had no wife, first,
because history does not mention her; second,
because no woman would take kindly to one of
his habits, dress or manners, or aspire to be-
come mistress of his mansion. 'There was an
old woman who lived in a shoe" it is true, but
the woman who would live in tttb and
especially with such a companion, has not
been heard from. The misanthropic spirit
which possessed this man was doubtless due to
disordered digestion and biliousness, one of
the prominent symptoms of which is morose,
fault-fnding disposition. The tongue is heavily
coated, giving rise to n bad taste, the appetite
is not good, and the patient feels dull, sleepy
or dizzy, and is apt to be fretful Unfortunately,
Mr.. Diogenes lived several centuries before DIR.
Pierces Pleasant Purgative Pellets were in
vented few doses of which would have re-
leved him of his ''bile," and enabled him to
find scores of ''honest men" without the aid of
his lantern. Under their magic influence COM
bined with that of the Golden Medical Discovery,
to cleanse his blood he might have been led to
take q more cheerful view of life to exchange
his tub for a decent habitaton, to "spruce up"
in personal appearance, and at last have taken
a wife to mend his clothes and his manners,
both of which were i'll evident need of repairs,
and become the happy sire of little Diogeneses
who would have handed down to posterity the
name, not of a cynic philosopher, but of a
cheerful, heating, hdppy cirt,,ous man!
