THERE comes the usual complaint from
fashionable watering-places. "a scarcity of
Young men.r This Is very encouraging. 1t
is rot a good place for young men. II will
not hurt them, perhaps, to look In and
glance aJ the follies OF such places, but
there is neither rest for body or mind In
one of your modern fashionable Watering
places II is neither good place for man
To pick out Wife nor for n lady to pick
out n husband. Ninety-nine chances in

scarcity of young mem Mt such resorts Is
the most hopeful sign of the times.-Inter-

There must be something in this. Ru-

Anew way TO refornia gambler has been
discovered. The most notorious member

ingly pretty young lady, worth $i50,000 in

killed his best friend, been divorced from
his wife, and figured in several other un-
pleasant affairs. But now he says he will
never play cards any more. He VIII be-
come II good young man. Philanthropists
have never tried to break up gambling in
that way.

CIGAR ETTE.

There is too much cigarette. The
small boy has got it into his mouth.
and it is using him up. Tho Philadel-
phia Times says physicians and other
people in that sity are panied BY the
spectacle, growing more common every
dsy, of pale-faced lads, ranging in ago
from to 20 years, who are putting
their little lives away in smoking. Day
and night they throng the streets,
where the peculiarly offensive oder
generated by cigarattes make Of cheep
paper and bad tobacco renders their
smoking "a obnoxious to others - It il
hurtful to themselves. Every evening
before tho doors Of the theaters they
raise cloud of foul smoke that il equ-
ally injurious to their own rickety con-
sttutions and to the noses of their VIC
Tins. Doubtless, also, they carry their
pernicious habit into their homes
when they are old enough to do 10
without the risk Of the spanking that
they deserve--thus still further doing
harm to themselves and making other
people uncomfortable.

An Importsnt Discovery In Egypt.

CAIRO, May 3.--Maspero has just
opened some more pyramids Of Sakka-
no inclosing the tombs of kings OF the
fifty dynasty. The mortuary chapels
of each contain about 60 square metres
of the smallest and most closely writ
ten texts giving precise details Of the
religious belief at that age. II il .
complete coup de grace TO Osiris Mas
mic theory and all previous conception
are entirely upset. Except tho find
ing of the Rosetta stone In 1899, no
discovery in Egypt equals this in scien-
tific value. Entrance to the passage il
difficult and dangerous on account Of
the loose blocks that cucumber il. An
American Egypteologist and corres-
pondent are the only persons allowed
to visit the interior with Maspsrs.
The latter explorer returns to Paris
next month and will publish tho dis
covered texts. All the Sakkaro py-
ramids, about 60 in number, will b.
opened as soon as possible.

A RIOT occurred at Yale, B. G., on
the l5'h inst, among Chinese railroad
laborers. They allege grievance
against Chinese firm at San Fran
cisco, who impose a tax of two per
cent month on each laborer's wages
This percentage, according to agree.
ment with the firm, was deducted by
the railway contractors on Friday, and
last Sunday several hundred China
men, armed with shovels, picks and
crowbars, marched into Yals and
broke into the railway company's store
house, badly wrecking the building.
Ten of the rioters were arrested and
taken to Jail. Meeting q policeman
the rioters stoned him. The Chinese
left town in the afternoon and threaten
to return and burn Yale down. Troub-
le was expected there on Monday,
when two of the rioters were to have
been lrought before the justice for ex.
animation. Two thousand Chinese
laborers are now on strike.

Would sometimes scarce know what to do,
Could they not get u certain view

The doctor cannot meet the crooks
OF all the cases, till he looks
Upon the pages Of the books
Supplied him by the Printer.
The lawyer for wit has passed.
But high as he his head may cast,
He would be but Ounce at last,
We're it not for tho Printer.

Inviting all the beaux and bslles2

One sings the bass. one sharps and Aats,
Bedecked with pantaloons and hats.
And long-tailcd coats and smooth cravats
Of this class Is the Printer.
The other sings the treble sweet,
Adorned with frocks and bonnets neat.
And look how beautecus aud complete,
And lovely to the Printer.

Err BILL.

OF course went to I.eadville, that
wonderful mushroom city, which can
boast of the most rascally gamblers,
hardest drinkers and checklist bum
mers in creation. Ones first impulse
upon arriving in town is to start out
and see the sights--to gaze in upon
the many gambling hells where
money is ever changing hands upon
the turn of card. Above the sharp
clicking of the ivory checks can be
heard the voices of dealers calling up
on players to "Make your bets, gen
tlemen," while notes of exultation and
cursing came forth in strange chorus,
uttered by those who loose and those
who win. But it is not of gambling
that l would tell you. The scenes are
but duplicate of those so familiar to
every pioneer in the early days of the
Union Pacific Railroad.
l was standing in front of the hotel
when my attention was attracted by n
dilapidated, antiqua:ed looking speci-
men of a saloon hummer, who was
passing along the street ringing a bell.
At intervals he would cease ringing
and shout:
"Religious racket right away at the
big tent! Roll up, tumble up, or
slid up on yer ears, for we'll have a
bang up diah o gospel talk from Faro
Bill--an' d-o-o-on't you forget it"
Turning to diaper little gambler
who stood near, l asked
"Who is Faro BillT
"Who is he? well, now, if that amt
the best play for high. You can break
me right here if I thought there was
a bloke in the mines that didn't know
Bill. He used be one O the boys, but
got capped into religious game by q
slicktongued gospel sharp about two
months ago. He's chopped on all his
old rackets, an don't stand in with
nothin' now that don't show up q bi-
BILE or prayer-book in the lay out.
Billy used to be the boss gambler OF
the camp and warn't afeared to sit in
a game with the fyest sport that ever
slung card but he's clean gone OH
the pious lay now, and seems all the
good there ever was in him. The boss
mouth piece in the heavenly mill has
gone down to Denver, an Bill is q
goin to stand in an sling gospel te
the boys as we'll as he can"
This explanation, given in the most
earnest tones, started me instanter fol
the tent. it was used at night for
variety theater, where artistsO) o.
questionable character performed acts
OF still more questionable decency, ano
was rented for religious services ever,
Sunday morning. l found the ten
filed to its utmost capacity. Many
had, no doubt, come through curiosity
to see how Bill would deport himsel
in this his initial sermon, Upon tn
stage sat burly, red-faced man, will
arms folded in a careless manner, WIT
looked over the large audience will
an air of the most decided indepen
dence. This was Faro Bill, the speak
er of the occasion. When he rose, h
glanced around the tent for moment
evidently collecting his thought, AM
began:
"Feller-citizcns, the preacher beln,
absent, it falls on me to take his hans
and play it fur all it's worth. You al
know that I'm Just learnin' the game

Lippipcott's Magazine for February

Lippipcott's Magazine for February
Is the second number of the new series,
and gives MOST satisfactory evidence of
the Improvements promised at the
time of the change. "Down the Red
River of the North" by Alice Ilgen-
fritz, is sprightly and profusely illus.
trated sketch of a trip through the
province of Manitoba, a section of our
continent that has attracted consider
able attention of late. In "a Celestial
Colony" a graphic description is given
by c. Baldwin of that part of Sanfran-
cisco known as Chinatown, with an
account of the life of its Chinese inhab-
itants. The interest of the paper is
enhanced by several very good illus
trations. Fiction is attractively and
literally represented by the serial
,"Lilith," which is continued with in
creasing interest, capital short stories,
viz, "Monsieur Paui's Heroism," by
Louise s. Houghton 1.-THE Kouras-
OFFS. by Vera Lapoukhyn and "a
Midwinter Romance" byL. K. Black.

feast of stories and sketches, work de-
partment for ladies, amusement for

this old favorite.magazine for so many
years. Every number Of the Lady's

To all our Friends:


Having had numberless inquiries for aivertis-
ing cards from ladies in all parts OF the country
who are interested in the prevailing fashion of
making .'Cari Collections" we are having
printed for them set OF seven beautiful cards;
each in six colors and on gold background, in
the very highest degree of art, illustrating
Shakspeare's "Seyen Ages of Men, We have
spared no expense in these cards-they are sim
ply little art-gems. Our only aim has been to
publish the finest cards yet shown. Applications
for them have come in so rapidly that nearly the
whole edition is engaged before the receipt by
us of the cards from the artist. We have there
fore been obliged to adopt the following plan for
the distribution of the remainder: No more of
the gilt Shakespeare cards, seven in the series,
will be sent excepting upon the receipt Of state
ment from grocer that the person applying for
the cards has bought of him on that day at least
seven bars of Dobbins' Electric Soap, with price
paid for same. All applying in this manner will
receive the full set of seven cards gratis by mail
This will insure us that our friends and patrons
get their share of these beautiful designs. al
though it in no manner repays us for the cost Of
the cards. Your grocer has the soap or will get
it, and the purchase by you Of seven bars Of it
at one time will secure for you gratis seven real
ly beautiful cards. The soap improves with age
and is article of necessity in your house every
useless article, but one that you must have any
way. Please send US your applications at once,
and tell your lady friends making "Card Collec-
tions'' to do the same. Respectfully,
