time really become SO, for nature,
though she struggles hard, cannot
stand everything. Too many drugs
will finally destroy her healing power.

How an Albany Reporter Felt.

He felt like small Vesuvius and the
hot springs of Arkansas combined. In
broken mirror upon the wall he APP
peared like fountain of molten brass.
Streams of perspiration playfulIy
poured down the creases of his gar
ments and percolated through the cane
seat of his chair to the floor, where
they formed puddles in which cock
reaches in search of q sea breeze nav
igated on RATS built of paper para
graphs which had not been otherwise
utilized because of the petrefaction of
his pot of paste by the heat. In vain
he endeavored to write. As fast as he
put point on his pencil and brought
it to an angle approximating the perpen-
dicular the lead would melt, slip out of
its wooden overcoat. and forming it.
self into minute globules, would
run down the desk, leap to the floor
and bury itself in the puddles of per-
spiration with seething misses. The
boiling ink in a bronze stand emitted a
sickening odor, aud great beads of
rusty sweat stood out upon the blades
of pair of scissors like pimples on
the face of college freshman. In
despair the reporter grasped volume
of DR.. Kane's Arctic explorations, and
mentally wallowed in its freezing de-

A Rome of Wornanis Hair.

In his detail of Indian horrors that
came under his notice, Mr.. Marley,
the New Mexico Indian killer, stated
that in 1867 he gave an Indian half a
dollar for hair rope ten feet in length
and about the size of his little finger.
He UNFINISHED the end and found that it
was made of red, auburn and black
hair, which, from the length of each
hair, was evidently that of a woman.
He questioned the Indian, who told
him the rope was made from the hair
of the women and girls slain in the
Mountain Meadow massacre, for COM
plicity with which murder John d.
Lee, the Mormon. was tried and shot a
few years ago. The place where he
purchased the rope was at Palerona-
cote, sixty-five miles from Mountain
Meadow, where the most narrowing
and brutal massacre of modern times
occurred. Ions Republican.

Charlotte Oushrnsn Advice,

Charlotte Cushman discouraged woni-
an as far as she could from adopting
the stage as profession. She was ac-
cnstomed to say that for the candidate
who has beauty there is moral ruin as
q reward, and when her personal at
fractions are poor then her course is
one long, disheartening struggle, end
ing generally in failure. She attributed
her success to her wonderful physical
health. Her mind was masculine and
her physique was one rarely given to
women. One day when a friend was
admiring her jewels, which were valu-
BILE and beautiful, though not numer-

bring these gifts to me from others-I

while holding the jewels up to the light,
can be understood by the few who

Pufalo i'Nat;. y

Old Nat, whose peculiarly shaped
shoulders gives him the name of Buff
falo Nat, operates a small plantation
near Little Rock. Some time ago he
went around making educational
speeches, but now he is so bitterly op-
posed to education that several days
ago he went to q district school house,
obtained the log which he had con-
tributed to its erection, split it up, and
burned it in the presence of the trus-
tees.
''Why are you so opposed to educa-
ton, Nat?" asked the superintendent
of public instruction.

About CARLYLE.

Now that every newspaper in the
land is contributing little reminiscent
ces of Carlyle to the general fund, the
Appeal has taken the pains to gather
up several anecdotes of the great man,
which have never seen print.
About five years ago the Prince of
Wales called at Carlyle's house, and
was asked to dinner. The great critic
gave the prince a bowl of mush and
molasses, reserving quail on toast,
frogs legs, and q bottle of Budweiser
for himself. The prince said:
81 don't ike mush.'
''Then gnaw the toothpicks. you
id impudent rascal. Who the devil
invited you to my house, anyway?''
The prince was quite delighted with
the sturdy old Scotchman's bluntness,
ant when he got home laughed very
heartily over it.
One day Miss Olive Harper, CORES
pondent of the Alta, called to spend
the afternoon, and begged Carlyle to
give his opinion of the great writer's.
II hope you adore Dickens?" she
asked.
ssNever read the idiots books?''
"Thacl1eravsef course. you"
"a stupid ass. L tell you, don't
mention Thackeray to me, or l II brain
