Before his Homer the Police

men charged with firing tirecrackers
within the city limits on their great
national holiday. Itmust be perplexing
to the average Mongolian to be given
to understand by some city officials
that they can whoop it mp and burn
powder, and then to be fined by other
city officials for doing so. John says

Flowers, too, the women of sunny
Spain know well how to employ as
weapons of coquetry. Clusters, wreaths,
and sprays they sedulously avoid, as not
suitable to their dashing style of beauty,
and, with Unborn tact, consider single
rose of damask hue sufficient to set off
the raven color of their hair and the
shining black or dazzling white of their
mantilla. Many-tinted flowers they re-
serve for their bouquets or corbeilles, to
throw, them, if need be, to favorite
singer on the stage or to the fashionable
matador in the arena. If the grandezza
of Spanish ladies at ceremonial occa.
sions is proverbial, their subtle grace OF
attitude and movement when unfettered
by etiquette is not less remarkable.

A hermit who has lived many years

said that this had constituted the only
article of his diet for some time. He
was taken to Seattle and served with a
bountiful meal and provided with
clothes. He was forlorn looking DO

The other nignt a Stockton (Cal.)
man was aroused by the crying of one
OF his little girls, who complained of
nose-bleeding. A handkerchief was
given her to stanch the blood, and she
soon fell asleep again. In a little while
her sister, who was sleeping with her,
cried out in pain, and struck at an oh
lect and knocked it off the bed to the
floor. The gentleman, striking light,
saw where something had bitten into the
second little girls chin and torn the

which was in the second story, discovered
a huge gray rat, which was Immediately
dispatched. 1t had bitten completely

The Press and the New and Great South


The States OF the South, acting after the
manner of the great railroads, have opened
bureau for information as to their re-
sources and attractions, in New York, and
London aud other European cities. The
bureau will have samples of the agricultural
and manufacturing interests Of the South
and West for free exhibition, and for the in
formation of intending emigrants.
The press Of the South and West owe it to
themselves to note the growth Of their re-
spective centers, and the special excellence
OF its manufactured products. This is duty
which the press fulflls all over the world,
and one OF its highest missions and services to
the people. The supremacy of the West in
agricultural machinery is now conceded all
over the world, and the CHARTER OAK
STOVE WORKS has pushed st. Louis to the
front in this industry; but this superiority is
attended with Their good results, the best
skill will in the future locate itself here,
and act indirectly on the neighboring states
in supplying them with skilled labor and
building up other industries. This was the
plan the Western States adopted in building
up their respective agricultural and manu-
featuring interests. $500

ELECTRICITY is certainly wonderful thing
There is an electric hair-brush warranted to
make the hair grow and cure headache, and
an electric flesh brush that will cure several
other ills that flesh is heir to; and now if

look and wear like new, he can sell thousands
at dollar apiece, or three for two dollars
