dispense with education, as they

- This is the great problem before

tied by the peculiar condition of

Forty-one years ago John Smith
was the driver and chief proprietor
OF line of coaches running to the
mountains. On his down trip on a
time Boston man took seat by
Johns side, and, being of an inquisi-
tive turn of mind, he asked numer
GUS questions concerning different
mountains and views, till at length
Johns patience was exhausted, and
in answer to one question he tartly
said Stranger, if you will attend
to your business I will to mine" AS
might be readily imagined, there was
a very quiet time after this. After
drive OF few miles John drove UP
to a country store and postofice
where the mail bag was thrown off.
While the mail was being changed
Mr.. Smith snapped horses with a
man who came for that purpose, and
the new horse was "hitched in," and
the driver was so intent on the trade
and SO DESTROYS of trying the mettle
of his new horse that he started off
without taking the mail bag. After
drive of some ten miles he drew up
at another Office, and on reaching for
the bag, and not finding it, he said:
"By thunder I left that bag at the
other office" eyes," said the Bos-
ton man, 81 observed that you did"
"Why in blazes didn't you tell me 2"
because you said you would attend
to your own business, and 1 thought

A GREAT ArrRAcrIoNat the Metropolitan,
commencing next Monday evening. The
distinguished actress, Miss Rose Wood,win
commence ar engagement at this theater in
Dion Boucieault's successful drama "The
Oetoroon.' The eminent actor, Mr.. Lewis
Morrison, has been specially engagedeand
will appear as Jacob McCloskey, a charac-
ter in which he stands without rival on
the American stage. Miss Woods CON-
pany has been very carefully selected. New
scenes are now being painted for this pro-
duction. Jubilee singers will appear in the
old Southern melodies. The great boat
race on the Mississippi will be one of the
attractive features, and every detail will be
strictly carried out. Appropriate music is
now being rehearsed by Professor Ball and
his orchestra and in order that the entire
city may witness this grand production, the
management has decided to inaugurate
popular prices during the engagement,
namely: Dress circle 80 cents, gallery %
cents. There is no doubt but the theater
will be packed from pit to dome and even
standing room will be at premium. .

Pipe Line on the Desert.

The English army is engaged in constructinga
water pipe line from suakim on the Red Sea, go
miles across the desert to Berber, on the river
Nile. This is long conduit. Its progress will
be watched by Cabinets, and it will be discussed
at firesides around the world. But were the
bottles of Castoria used last year, placed end to
end they would form an inch and half pipe line
of health syrup 5000 miles long, or extending
from its reservoir IN New York to San Francisco.
Yet the contents of this Castoria line are sucked
dry yearly. and by children alone. Such an
illustration helps convey an idea of the popu-
larity and the immense trade in this wonderful
preparation which silently filters into so many
homes Mothers whose days are made weari-
some by children out OF sorts, and whose nights
are angelic vigils over sick beds, have learned
the value of remedy which promptly brings
health and rest To them Castoria in the house
is of equal importance to that OF water to the
soldier on the desert.
