they can spin $50 fine threads, each ten miles
in length, in one minute. The weaving is
done with an ordinary loom, but the process
is more difficult and much more interesting
than the spinning of cotton to other threads.

Called EEIEaa Gould.

One morning, not many days ago, q mum
Der of Texans sat around the stove in tht
office of q hotel in San Antonio, roasting
their heels and talking Of Mexican raiders
A New York drummer entered the place,
registered, and was asking about breakfast,
when n of the men approached him and
said
"Hello Mr.. Gould. My names Nc.
Thomas; got your letter and was looking
for you"
"Hello, Mac" replied the drummer, who
saw it was a case of mistaken identity, and
offered a chance for fun.
Every boot heel came down off the stove,
and every mouth was turned sideways to
spit.
SEQ right into breakfast, lots of time fo1
business continued the man, and the hun
cry drummer disappeared in the dining room.
| When he had finished breakfast he returned
to the office TO find it empty. He sat picking
| his teeth when the landlord edged up and
said:
"Boys rather got the start of you, Mr..
Gould"

"Why, McThomas own q twenty four
horse coach line running out Of here, and he
dropped the boys q hint that you were after
it to complete your southwest line. While
stock company, bought him out, and are go
ing to make you pay for the whistle"
"That's bad for them. My name isn't
Gould"
"What, arn't you Jay Gould, of New
York?'
"Not quite; I am Sam Smith, of New
York
"Ggeat heavens! But the boys will have
your scalp! You answered to the name. and
they raised eight thousand dollars here in two
minutes to buy out the line. You'd better
fly"
"But I can't. I've come here to do bust
ness"
''Never mind the business. One side or
the other will pant for your blood as soon as
the game is exposed. They'll be back in
twenty minutes!"
The drummer picked up bis grab bag and
walked. Pretty soon he met a man with a
shotgun in his hands, and then he hurried.
AS he turned q corner he heard some one
cry, S'halt!," and then he flew, and he didn't
fold his wings until he was a hundred miles
away.

n the meantime it looks as If the Eastern
| Question were to be opened on quite another
side. The Kurdish war is not over, although
the Persians did administer one severe check,
and claimed to have put an end to their IN
cursions. Not only does this movement con-
linue, but it continues under conditions which
give the Russians some pretenae for claim
ing that Persia, without foreign assistance,
is quite unable to cope with the kurds. AS
the Shah's government has been for decades
q mere tool in the hands Of the Cars adVl.
sere, the possibility Of Russian Intervention,
and Of a Russian wal upon these unmanage-
able subjects Of Turkey, is by no means re-
mote. But to touch the Kurds is to touch
Armenia the most oppressed OF all the
Christian peoples,-noW under the rule OF the
Turk. It is from the Kurds ever more than
from the Pashas that the Western Haiks are
suffering all the horrors Of Moslem oppres-
sion. And it is in Armenia, among this long
suffering and patient people, that Russia has
the best chance of extending her territory at
Turkish expense. In the Balkin Peninsula,
the Gar may win friends. In Armenia be
can obtain provinces. He has already secured
Eastern Armenia; and that the West is an
object Of Russian desire can hardly be
thought surprising.
One contingency only can prevent Russia
from following an aggressive policy. 1t is a
war with China. The Kuldja matter has
not been settled. The peace party in China
are seeing power slip day by day from their
grasp. And unless Russian diplomacy is
more vigorous and just than it has recently
shown itself, the two vastest Empires of the
world will be in collision BY next summer.

from glass. An uptown dry goods house has

SWIFT DRESSING.
How Actresses Are Enabled 10 Change
Their SO Quickly.

Their Costumes SO Quickly.
The lady correspondent Of the Cincinnati
| Enquirer writes from New York about q
visit she paid to the dressing room Of a pop
ular actress
There [ saw Q handsome evening dress
spread out on q chair with orderly precision.
1t was an elaborate combination of satin and
embossed velvet and lace, made up in one of
the newest styles; but ii had a peculiarly Of
being open in front, from neck 10 hem, like
q wrapper, but it was SO contiiyed that the
opening would no be discernable when the
garment was worn.
Another odd feature was that all the bows,
jewels and other ornaments, such as women
ordinarily spend an hour or SO in adjusting,
were already fastened on in the proper pla-
ces. By the chair was q pair Of satin slip
pers, and on the stand was q pair Of kid
gloves and a fan. On d block was a blonde
wig dressed in the latest fashion, with q rib
bon and a gilt ornament all in place. The
maid glanced with anxious eyes at all these
arrangements, and seemed afraid that I
would disturb them. / was just realizing
that they were planned to effect q lightning
change Of costume, when the actress herself
bounced in. She was warm from her exer-
ton OF the stage, but not q bit Hurried. She
did not lose q single moment, though she
chatted glibly with me all the while.
First, she picked up the gloves and began
to put Them IN. AT the same time the maid
unlocked her dress from top to bottom with
quick, deft fingers, and stripped off the
whole garment in q twinkling. The pretty
creature stood before rae in her white clothes
laughing ct my expression Of surprise at the
rapid DISAGREEMENT. She seated herself and
extended her feet for the maid to take off the
shoes and stockings. The latter, being
stripped down over her feet in a jiffy, did
not disclose the naked flesh, but deliberately
clicked silk hose, SO that the fresh pair were
already on. By the time the slippers were on
the actress had got the last button of her
gloves into its button hole. A minute and a
half had elapsed. Both had not only worked
with great rapidity, but without any false
motions or yexations OF any sort. Then the
maid took off several puffs and a bow from
her mistress's tead-her hair in the last act
having been simply dressed-and put on the
more elaborate blonde wig, fastening il in
place with hair pins, and setting a lock here
and there into place. Next, the actress stood
up, and the maid swiftly put her into the
dress that had lain on the chair. Every part
of it fell admirably into place, the drapery
across the front hiding the junction. and
plentiful hooks and eyes holding all together.
Standing before a full-length mirror, she
finally surveyed herself critically, at just
three minutes and q half from the start. Half
q minute more was employed in putting some
additional rouge and powder IN the face, and
then she was ready to 60 on the stage.

T TIE RAIN,

The rain has ceased, and in my room
The sunshine pours an airy Hood,
And on the church's dizzy ane
The ancient cross is hathed in blood.
From out the dripping ivy leaves,
Anliquely caryen, gray and high.
A dormer, facing westward, looks
Upon the village, like an eye.
And now it glimmers in the sun,
A globe OF gold: q disk, a speck,,
And in the belfry sits a dove.
With purple ripples on her neck.

A WONDERFUL MEDICINE

l,x,lG|safl
Certificate ola Prominent Citizen
of Adrian, Mich, who had not
Walked without Clutches for
two years. He threw them away
in "a Hours after the first ap-
plication of Wizard Oil.
DR. HAMLIN:-When I met your agent
here, in September, 1 had been two years suf-
fering severely with Rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
at time to my bed. The balance of the
time was compelled to crawl around upon
clutches. I used medicines without number,
including large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. AS to what
l suffered, the English language cannot tell
1t to any one who has not tried it's realities.
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispelled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. used bottle
day for ten days. The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time i'm two years.
Since thenI have not used them, and can now
split cord of wood as quick as any man in
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
such sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
a change, though it should be death.
That all who read this may know how /
have been, | will say, when I commenced
using Wizard Oil, could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand.
L was reduced to a mere skele-
ton, and most of the time
when L moved upon
clutches, or tried to stand
without them, / could not raise
either foot from tho floor.
I used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
any for two months. / now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty-6ve
pounds in flesh. But l must tell you it seems
almost like dream. You can refer to me as
often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi-
zens of Adrian will testify to the truth of
my statements.
