Advice to Drinking Men.

A drinking man can supply himself
easily with the remedies used at nearly
all the inebriate asylums and be his own
physician at his own home without the
necessary expense and publicity OF visit
ing the Washington Home or any other
reformatory institution.
His laboratory need contain only q
small quantity of cayenne pepper, pot
of concentrated extract of beef and a
few grains of bromide of potassium
When the desire for drink recurs make
tea from the cayenne pepper, as strong
as can be taken with any degree of COM
fort, sweeten it with milk and sugar, and
drink. This tea will supply the same
place that glass of liquor would fill,
and will leave no injurious effect be-
hind. Repeated daily, or so often as the
appetite returns, it will be but a few
days before the sufferer will have become
Disguised with the taste of the pepper,
and with the appearance of this disgust
disappears the love of liquor.
The fact it proven every day. The
extract of beef is to be made into beef
tea, according to the directions on the
pot, in quantities as may be needed for
the time being, and furnishes cheap,
easily digestible and healthy nutriment,
it being made " to stay on the stomach y
when heavier articles of food would be
rejected. The bromide of potassium is
to be used carefully and only in case of
extreme nervousness, the dose being
from fifteen to twenty grains, dissolved
in water. This is public exhibit of the
method of treatment adopted at the in
ebriate asylums.
In addition thereto the drinking man
should surround himself with infuep ces
which tend to make him forget tie de-
grading associations of the bar-room and
lift him upward. He should endeavor,
so far as his business avocations will
permit, to sleep, battle and eat regularly,
and obey the laws of health. BY the
adoption of this course theoretically and
sincerely no man who has the will to re-
form can fail to do so. Hundreds and
thousands can attest the truth of these

He Preferred to Walk.

"She's pretty hot, amt sheT" said a
backwoods passenger, addressing the en-
gineer of a Mississippi steamer that was
racing with another boat.
$50 So" responded the engineer, as he
hung an additional wrench on the safety
valve cord to stop the steam from escap-
ing.
"That's about it," returned the en-
gineer, giving the cords another twitch
and hallooing through the trumpet TO
" shove her up.
Gone hundred and ninety FIVE" hum
med the passenger, looking first at the
gauge and then at the boilers.
Then the passenger ran his fingers
through his hair nervously, and walked
about the decks for few minutes, when
he came back to the engineer and OBJ
served:
Hadn't you better leave that boat
go?'
Cant do it. Must pass her"
"But s'posen' we should blow up?
well" said the engineer, as he peep
ed over the guard to see how fast he was
going, " if it is the will of Providence
for the boat to blow up, we'll have to
stand by it." Then he halloOed to the
fremen to roll up another cask of
bacon and to mix plenty of rosin with
the coal, and give her little more tur-
pentine and OIL
The next moment there was a splash
in the river; but before the yawl could
be lowered the man had succeeded in
reaching the shore, and hallooed out:
Go on with the race. l guess Pll

ThieYing Contractors.

Thieving in the Russian service was
Just as bad during the late was as it was
in Crimean times, when p herd of many
thousand cattle, bought and paid for,
vanished utterly and never was heard of
again. The Bucharest contractors of
the Russian government have failed.
The Russian government owes this firm
large amount, but charges against
them have been made, and payment is
withheld until investigation has been
completed A board is sitting in Odessa,
and there are commissions working in
the various sections of operation of the
Russian army. The amounts alleged to

ex-contractor for the Russian army sold
a quantity of hay to a Russian colonel

Police Force Turned Out to Find a
Dog.

The Duchess of Edinburg, when re-
turning from her last visit to Russia, had
the misfortune to lose her favorite dog,
Iago. Her Highness, much grieved at
the loss of the animal, sent one tele-
graphic message after another TO the
authorities of the town where the New
foundland was last seen, requesting that
thorough researches might be made.
The mayor, In fulfillment of these solicit
tations, called out the police, and at the
head of his force started out on an ex-
petition of discovery. Their efforts
were finally crowned with success. Iago,
after leaving his owner, quietly saun-
tered over the bridge, examined the en-
virons of the town, and returned to the
Vistula. A commissioner was appointed
to escort the dog to Coburg, where great
Joy prevailed at its arrival.

self, watchin' the little tongues o. fire
shoot out from the side ey'rv once in
awhile, as if they'd lick the life-thread
in Two.
GAS Joe grabbed the upper chains the
shaft lit up with hiss an roar, as if
the fire was mad at losing its prey. Joe
got out an Ferguson staggered away
from the win'lass, but his luck went
back on him at the last minute. He
stumbled an fell jest as he come to the
tramway at the door an the whole side
O. the buildin' come down ON him with a
crash. A hundred men forgot danger
an death, an rushed into the flames;
but Miller, the man that played it SO
sneakin' mean down in the shaft, got to
him first, an dragged him out.
Everybody thought he was dead, an
the crowd carried him an Miller-who
dropped insensible after he'd got Fergu-
son Quito the camp. But Dandy Fer
guson lived through it, though fur weeks
he lay between life an death, an fur
months he didn't stir out of dark
room. But there wasn't no lack O. help
an prayers an faithful nurses to bring
him round. No, sir; an there wasn't
man, woman or child within hundred
miles O. the Chapparrel mine tibet
wouldn't crawled on their hands an
knees to watch one hour at the bedside,
an thought it one O the biggest kind O
honors-you ken bet your life on tibet.
Yes, sir; Dandy Ferguson is a king in
this yer country-he's better'n four
kings most O the time, 'couse any man
thet knows him ID lay down four bullets
any day if he held them against Fergu-
son; it'd be like takin' an advantage ye
see, to hold 'em out ON him. He can hev
anything or do anything he likes. We'd
send him to congress eff he'd 60, but he
won't. We've got him here, though, an
[ guess he'll never leave; l wish | was
one o. them poetry writers; I'd write
the bulliest poem about Dandy Fergu-
son, you ever read, you hearme.
Yes, he's married. Got married af-
ter he came out.
"Talk about weddin's that aCas
weddin'; everybody got an invite, and
everybody piled in to see the gamest
man in the state tied to the gamest
woman on Gods footstool. Who was
she? Why, Maggie Hildreth, of course.
Who else'd it be, I'd like to know.
What became of Harry Miller? Well,
that's purity good. Miller, we see, came
out all right, an you bet he didn't rest
till he'd begged Bill Slocum's pardin far
leavin' him in the shaft as he did, but
Bill wouldn't hev it; said tibet Miller'd
balanced accounts by savin' the life o
Ferguson, the man tibet saved him. But
thet's played.
"You want to know what become of
him. Well-say, look here, mister l
don't like to own it, but Pm the cuss-
Pm Harry Miller. Interdooce ye to
Dandy Ferguson? OF course l will, an
you'll never get an Introduction to
gamer man, or one it's more honorable
to know
can mister, eff We ever tell about the
Chapparral shaft, an how Dandy Fer
guson stood by tibet win'lass in the red
hot histin' works, jest throw it in some
where tibet he's better'n four kings in
this camp-it'll top off the story fust
rate, an besides, you bet ITS no more'n

Archery in Ye Olden Time.

In the library of the Vatican is an old
MS, the author of which had been tray
cling in England during the sixteenth
century, and he goes on describing Eng
lish habits, and especially the delights
they took in the enthusiastic pursuit of
archery. The continual practice of the
bow, from the age of 10 years, was made
to supersede every other diversion.
Hentzner, a German traveller of about
the same time, spoke Of seeing the hus-
bandmen going forth to their work with
bow and arrows, which were either laid
on the pillow or placed conveniently by
for ready use. And, again, when we
come down to an old age, exhibiting the
"ruling passion strong in death" as
illustrated by the famous forester, Robin
Hood, in that last incident of his merry
life so touchingly set forth by the old
ballad, when, being taken i'll, he applied
for surgical assistance at Sopwell Abbey,
where a nun treacherously bled him to
death. Too late, he came to a realizing
sense of his position, but yet forbid re-
taliation upon the woman, saying:
"Inever hurt fair maid in all my time,
Nor at my end viii | now"
His last request, which he was assisted
to fulfill, runs thus:
Give me Ey bent bow in my hand,
AMI broad arrow I'll let fee;
And mere that arrow lighteth
There shall my grave digged be-"

A Heartless Parent.

A party of serenaders halted on
Boundary street, the other night, touched
the light guitar, and struck up, with
great feeling, "Come where my love lies
dreaming" and then great bush headed
wretch, 43 years old, with beard like a
thicket, leaned out of the window and
said, in loud, coarse unfeeling manner,
81" Young gentlemen, you mistake; she
isn't dreaming. Far from her be it to
dream, or even sleep. She's sitting on
the back porch, with her feet in tub
of cistern water, drinking iced lemonade
and fighting mosquitoes with a palm-leaf
fan, and she isn't dressed for company
Sing something true" But ere long he
ceased to speak, the summer night was
still, the front yard was empty, and the
voice of the harp no more awoke the
night in melody.-Burdette.

ebenin' on dat side Oh de hous Now, eff he

constituted the popular belief, people
thong hit that to die of smallpox or cholera
was simply fulfilling one of natures laws.
Now, through vaccination, smallpox is
averted, while cholera, cholera morbus, dys-

by the use OF DR.. Pierce's Compound Elk
