best advice We can give is in the old
Ovidian phrase which may be trans
lated, "Meet and resist beginnings"
whether the weeds be ANIMALS, biennials,
or perennials. The old English saying
that ..one years seeding makes seven
years wedding" is . very true one and
well worth remembering. Had our
farmers throughout the country paid
more attention to the little patches Of
strange weeds which occasionally ap.
pssred by the road -ides or near their

now be obliged to fight them BY the

fields to the tests. There is certainly
no plant known that can not be de.

Bravery Misplaced.

A LADY living on Fourth street, who
had been temporarily left at home by
her husband, was shocked on going to
her room an evening or two since to
discover what appeared to be man
stretched prone upon her bed, with the
cover drawn close about him. erfirSt
impulse was to flee, screaming from the
room, but second thought came, and
with it nerve enough to put the thought
into execution. The lady stepped noise
lessly into an adjoining room and armed
herself with cub. She returned with
it and touched the object of her fright
There was no sign of life. She touched
it again, and still harder, but the object
did not move. She now thought the
man was sleeping, and third thought
came. Hurrying in another room she
procured bottle of chloroform,
saturated q cloth with her drow-
sy drug and crept back to the bed
side and spread the cloth over the
sleeping mans face. When it had
been there minute or two she knew
her foe was vanquished. She now ran
out and told her neighbors of what had
occurred. Men armed themselves with
guns and sticks and marched to where
the interloper lay. The cloth and the
bed clothes were carefully removed
and the object beneath them was plainly
revealed to sight. 1t proved to be
nothing more than 4 stuffed dummy
with false face upon it. The lady's
young son had fixed it up, thinking to
give his mother scare. She didn't
scare, though, worth cent, and her
brave. conduct has made her the heroine
of the neighborhood. We have told
this story Just as it was told to U.s.

A Jews HerOism.

To BE brave enough to face the conse-
quence of ones too hasty anger is not
quite equal to the heroism that restrains
it before hand, but it is next to that.
Reading the following painful story, it
is hard to feel more sympathy for the
smiter than for the smitten:
In a village in Hungary there lived
many years ago Jew, who gained his
living by carrying goods from place to
place. He was SO upright and honest
that it was commonly said of him,
"You might fill his wagon with a load
of ducats without securing them in any
way, and not miss a coin" Summer
or winter, rain or fair, he might be seen
driving his horse and well-laden wagon
sometimes here, sometimes there,
gaining his livelihood and that of his
wife and children literally by the sweat
of his brow. He was so strong, too,
and powerfully made, that often with
out assistance he drew the unfortunate
animal out of the heavy bogs, which
still exist, and render the roads in that
part of the country in rainy weather al
most impossible.
One day carriage drawn by two
horses appeared in sight, while the car

toiling through the deep mud.
"Get out of the wayr' cried the
coachman of the empty carriage.
"It is you who should give place"
said the Jew, "for you have two horses
and no weight to carry"
Dog of q Jew! Take thatr' ex-
claimed the coachman, hitting the car
rier heavy stroke with his whip.
Our gigantic friend could not stand
this, and Selling piece of wood which
was beside him, he hit the coachman an
unfortunate blow, which killed him ON
! Abe spot. Much concerned, he placed

Remarkable Indian Costumes.

The graphic art is not unknown, it
appears, to native journalists in India,
for from one of them we get most Wv
id portraiture of the great mobiles who
attended the late dunbar at Lahore.
The puissant Maharajah of Cashmere is
described as looking far younger than
his real age, by reason of his having
"dyed the hair about his face with a
most powerful compound, which also
Strengthened his features and twisted up
his mustache into parallel lines to his
nose" The scribe adds, rather need
lessly, that the general result was ''a

of Bhawalpore has his portrait drawn at
full length. Ozark, slim, awkward,
weak, haggard and dissipated-looking,"
this young chief wore on his head a

rounded by coatings of black lead,

his head, in accordance with the pre-
scriptions of durbar etiquette, to have
his neck encircled with asplendid a neck
lace by the master of the ceremonies,
he could not perform the feat, strive as
ne might. The kincob was stout. the

likely to be seized with apoplexy, until
the difficulty was surmounted by cut

throwing it loosely over his shoulders.

COnsI}sliips.

A ORRESPONDENT who talked with
Colon ell John Hay, Assistant Secretary
of State, asked him if the foreign con-
sulships afforded a respectable living.
His answer was: ''Just a living, and
no more. You will notice, if YOU 90 to
Europe, that every Consul you find is
dissatisfied and wants to come home,
but yet not one of them but will feel
indignant if another man is appointed
in his place. We have some Consuls
who have been in Office good while,
and those young men have staid away
so long that their opportunity for Ca
reer in their own country is done"
Colonel Hay is in a position to know
whereof he speaks. He has served
abroad in various capacities, and his
further experience as Assistant Secre-
tary of State well qualities him to speak
in regard to the Consular service. What
he SAYS as to the undesirableness of
most of these positions is true. A few
Consulships are worth holding for the
salary, though even these do not fur
nish more than respectable living for
man of family. Some are desirable
on account of climate or for hygienic
reasons. A Consul who receives a sal
ary is not permitted to engage in
trade. Some of the unsalaried Consul
ships can be held with advantage by a
commercial man who has talent for
trade and can make money in this way.
But take the whole list through and
none of them furnish more than a re-
spectacle living, while the most do not
even that for q man of family. A COM
mon opinion prevails that a Consul re-
ceives a liberal allowance under the
designation of ''outfit'' and 'sintit;n in
other words, that his travelling ex-
penses are paid to and from his post of
duty. This is not the case. There
was such regulation many years ago,
but it was long since abolished. A
Consul now receives only his salary,
and is obliged to pay his own travelling
expenses and those of his family, if he
have one, to and from his post of dnty.
Most of our Consuls abroad have to
live in retired manner, and if they
are in a country whose language they
do not understand, they cannot take
any social position or enjoy any social
privileges. s.-Indi0ndpoHs Journal.

A Race for Life with Bloodhounds.

APROPOs of the death of old Mount
joy,' the pedestrian, a correspondent
of London sporting gnewspaperrelated
story which he heard from Mountjoy's
own lips. Hearing Lord w. boast that
his bloodhounds would track any living
thing, by scent alone, Colonel A.
wagered a hundred guineas they would
not track man, and asked Mount
10Y to win the wager for him,
assuring the startled pedestrian
there was no danger of the dogs
catching him, as they were slow
runners, and he would take care sulli-
cienr start was allowed him. the object
being simply to test their powers of
scent. The trial duly came off over
three miles of ground round Hampstead
Heath. After the dogs had shifted at
Mountjoy's legs he made his way leis-
urly for half the course, when the fiag
was dropped and the hounds set loose.
They tracked their quarry splendidly,
but were six hundred yards behind
when Mountjoy reached the inn at the
end of the course and shut the door
upon them, outside which they howled
their dissatisfaction until removed by
their keeper.
Disbelievers in the bloodhound's
scent were still unconvinced, avcrrng
that they had sighted the man for part
of the journey at least; and to settle
the point beyond dispute, another
match was made, to be run at night,
the distance this time being but mile
and half. Unsuspicious of foul play.
Mountjoy went gaily on his way. but
had not accomplished more than two.
thirds of the distance allowed him by
the conditions when his hair stood on

prove uninteresting. The man is Lo-

is engaged in selling ''tir balsams.H
Mr.. Pickle was noticed first for his
height, which is six feet five inches. At
the request of the man of the pencil,
Mr.. Pickle gave some points about him.
self and his family. He said he was
one of family of twenty-four children
of whom twenty-five are now living.
He has thirteen sisters and eight broth
ers. He claimed to be the smallest of
the family, the largest being brother
who lives in the State of Kentucky, who
is seven feet two and half inches tall
in his stocking feet and weighs two
hundred and seventy-five pounds. The
object of this sketch is sixty-eight years
OF age, but his activity might well be
enyied by a man of forty years. He
wears no overcoat, as he does not feel
the need of such a garment, and added
further that he wore no socks. He has
two daughters living, one seventeen
and the other twelve years of age. The
former is over six feet tall and still
growing; the other is five feet eight
inches in height, and will probably
reach six feet and over before she
has attained her growth. A
singular characteristic of Mr.. Pickle is
that he has two pupils instead of one in
each eye. The pupils are not entirely
distinct. but rather, are double. They
can hardly be called defect in a hale
old man, as they are not perceptible at

claims that at distance he can distin-
euish objects with facility that other
men do not possess. Mr. Pickles dark
hair and full beard are somewhat
tinged with gray, but he seems fully
twenty-five years younger than he real
ly is. He does not drink liquor of any

Consulting the Bankers.

Secretary Window was in New
York City last week, consulting with
bank officials as to the best course to
be pursued by him in conducting the
nations financial affairs. Can he
reasonably expect that they would
discover any way of managing the ma
tons finances, except that most ad-
vantageous to bank interests? With
his mind filled with plans that bank
ers would regard as desirable, can he
reasonably hope to discover the best
course to pursue in promoting other
than bank interests?
From the very nature OF the case,
officers of banks, worthy to be such,
must study and seek to advance the
interests of their employers (the banks)
regardless of the interests of others.
What would the American people
think Of the chance of justice being
done by a judge or jury, to whom but
one side of question is presented,
and that by parties whose hopes and
interests are necessarily warped and
selfish? And yet this one sided course
is the one that, without exception,
has been persistently pursued by Re-
publican officials for the last sixteen
years.
The light is now rapidly spreading
over our whole land, and the time Is
near at hand when the voice of the
two thousand bankers will be drowned
by that of more than Fifty million:
Of people, demanding that the inter
ests of the whole nation, instead o.
the banks only, shall be consulted.
