We returned to dress in time for
FIVE o'clock dinner, which was the one
formal relast of the day. There was
nothing of the picnic about this.
Host and guest appeared in full even

in Sweden, even if it seems to be fad
ing away elsewhere, and then every
body took wine with everybody else
and exchanged little compliments and
bows and made themselves agreeable
to the be-t of their ability. You take
vine Wi h your neighbor in this coun-
try in a peculiar fashion. 1t is not
enough that you should bow and place
your glass TO your lips. You must
also. after having slipped the wine,
bow again. or rather, you must retain
the glass in your land, and, slightly
bending over il, look for a moment
straight in the ewes of him or her with
whom you are drinking. That is the
custom, and very pretty one it is.
particularly wien the eyes into which
it is your duty to gaze have that
depth of liquid bluene-s which nature
has bestowed upon SD many maids
and matrous in this northern land.
Dinner over, We returned to the
drdwing-rsom in the same order We
had left it, each gentleman giving his
arm to the lady he had previously es-
corted, and then his daughter went
up 20 the baron and kissed him and
said Thank you" and each of the
guests said "Thank you" and he
shook them by the hand and hoped
they had enjoyed themselves, aud
there was friendly word and smile

Remedy for Trouble.

Polaris.
Work is your true remedy. If mis-
fortune hits you hard, pitch into some
thing with a good will. There's moth
lug like good, solid. exhausting work
10 cure trouble. Ifyou have met with
losses, you won't want to lie awake
and think about them. You want
sleep, calm sound sleep-and eat your
dinner with appetite. But you can't
unless you work. If you say You
don't feel like work and 60 loafing all
day, to tell Tom, Dick and Harry the
story of your woes, you'll lie awake
and keep your wife awake by your
tossing, spoil your temper ard your
breakfast next morning, and begin to-
morrow feeling ten times worse than
YOU do to-day. There are some
troubles that only times can heal, and
perhaps some that can never be healed
at all, but all can be helped by the
great panacea, work. Try it you who
are afflicted. 1t is not a patent medi-
cine. 1t has proved its efficacy since
first Adam and Eve left behind them,
with weeping, their beautiful Eoen.
1t is an efficient remedy. All good
physicians in regular standing pre-
scribe it in cases of mental and moral
disease. 1t operates kindly as well,
leaving no dissgreeable effects, and We
assure you that we have taken large
quantity of it with the most beneficial
results. 1t will cure more complaints
than any nostrum In the materia medi-
ca and comes nearer to being ''cure
alp, than any drug or compound of
drugs In the market. And it will not
sicken you if you do not take it sugar
coated.

A Courageous Woman.
Hartford Times.

Hartford Times.
The bravest woman in the world
lives in Hartford. She Is not yet
twenty years of aye and has in mortal
led herself by her courage. She has
shown it in tackliDg. single-handed and
alone, and capturing the precious
mouse. While the other ladies OF the
household ran screaming away from
the animal and found safety only IN
mounting the chairs and tables, our
heroine, with uublanched cheeks,
walks into the pantry where the vic
ious beast is lurking behind the pans
or dishes, and, regardless of her per-
sonal safety, be- ins the hunt by rat
Ting the tinware. In a moment the
mouse is scampering along the shelves
spurred up 20 its utmost activity by
the hands of the plucky girl who is de'e
rmined to get the animal alive. A live
mouse In woman's hands Can You
realize the courage it requires for a
woman to handle live mouse ? A
little cry OF delight and the victory Is
won. The girl comes out of the pan
try with a smiling face and cheeks
rosy with the excitement Of the chase.
She goes into the sitting room holding
the prize in her hand, the little fellow
struggling 70 get away. The ladies.
still pearched on the chairs and table,
set sp a chorus of screams, much to
the delight of the brave ,oung lady,
who sometimes varies the sport bv
letting the captive loose on the table
or floor. The scene that follows, if il
could be produced on the stage of a
theater, would make fortune for the
manager.
The girl has got a stick with twenty
nine notches upon it, each notch rep
resenting a mouse caught by her own
hands. la the eyes of her female rel
atives she is greater heroine than
Joan of Arc.

Effects of the Opium Habit.

The opium eater is, with respect to
disposition, a creature of the most
variable mood, his manner heine
moulded by the action of the drug.
In the morning he is petulant and i'll
tempered, Sometimes to brutality,
while the afternoon of the sarce day
will find him graciously corsiderate.
Those who have had experience with
them know that the most truthful
people become the most daring liars
after long indulgence in the use of
opium. The realities of life are so
blended with the distorted opium
imaginings that tire victim cannot
dis inguish between facts and fancy.
So much is this the case that those
who hear them talk. ignorant of THEN
habit, are positively shocked at the
glaring falsity of their statements.
They jealousy guard their infrmity,
and it would be next to useless to
question them concerning their habit.
Hugging his chains, the rack would
hardly draw from the victim s. true
statement with respect to the quantity
of opium used by him if he suspected
an intention to interfere with his
allowance. Always with them, too,
is the dread that by some unhappy
combination of circumstances, lack of
money, involuntary confinement.
close surveillance, any or all of these
obstacles, they may find themselves
go situated as not TO be able to pro-
cure the drug. experience having
taught them the horrors of abstinence.

JOCKO FOUND DEAD.
The Famous Orang-Outang that
Bore the Name of Darwin's
Missing Link.

The famous female orang.outanq
J"cko, suppos d by many to be Oar
wins missing link, was found dead il
its cage BY Frank Edwards, its keeper r,
Thursday morning in Herzog's dime
museum at Baltimore, where il has
been on exhibition for some weeks
past. Jccko's death was great shock
10 the managers of the museum, who
were paying 5000 month for the
privilege of exhibiting her, and will
be much greater shock TO the owners
Jocko had been suffering from Sc

trip from Chicago, bat did not seem i'll
any danger. DR.. Alexander Hill,
the surgeon who some time ago enter
ed into negotiations Sith the husband
of the fat woman for his wife's body,
took Jocko's remains and dissected and
embalmed them. Death was found to
have resulted from pneumonia, super
induced by conges ion Of the lung-.
As soon as it became known that
Jocko was deed an immense crowd
focked TO the museum, and for d time
a riot seemed imminent. Tie crowd
refused TO leave he mGseum until they
had seen the dead animal, and shouts
of Bring out your dead monkey y

ing was completed. he put the body I'm
. wagon ard drove with all speed to
the museum, where it was pla ed in n
sitting posture upon its old cage, amid
the plaudits of the spectators. Ever
since crowds have continued to flock to
the museum TO see the body. The
snly mourner seems to he It's little dog
companion, who has been with it since
it was blind, and walls pitecusly be-
cause It's old playmate will not notice
it. Jocko will remain on exhibition

be taken to New York, where tie skel-
eton goes TO one of the medical col
leges.
Tris orang-outang was one of the
most intelligent of It's species. So
nuch did II resemble a human being,
that it got the name of the missing
link. 1t came from Borneo in 1881,
aud was purchased at public auction
nv Reicbe Bros, animal dealers of
New York, for $4,000. P. T. Bar
rum bid $4,000 Charles Braien-
burg leased the animal during its life
time for $500 a month. 1t is said
that Jocko was afterward purchased
BY the Philadel phia dime museum peo-
pie from Reiche Bros subject to Brad
enburg's lease, If this is so, it really
belongs to Barnum, who has a con-
trolling interest in the Philadelphia
museum. The brain of Jocko was
not touched at Baltimore, but was
left to be examined by the New York
experts. Something interesting may
result from the examination.
