The "Favorite Prescription of DR..
Pierce cures female weakness and
kindred affections. BY druggists.


About the cleverest trick of female
swindling that have heard of is one
which the detectives are just now try
ing to unrayel, "all unbeknowsts to the
night police reporters. The case is this,
and if the Central will keep their eyes
open they will soon get their names:
A family occupying flat on the North
Side advertised the contents of the
same for sale. On the day following
a very pretty and fashionably dressed
lady called and was shown through the
house. The price to be paid was one
thousand dollars, The lady caller took
the mistress into her confidence and
told her this story: She the probable
purchaser, was from New York. She
was here seeking divorce. Her
husband was watching her movements,
and if he discovered the slightest wob-
BILE in her conduct he would use it
against her in the suit. She had a
friend who would call with her the next
dav to look at the furniture. and if he
was satisfied he was to purchase it for
her. "When we come. continued the
little woman, II would like for YOU to
seclude yourself IN one of your rooms,
and will show him through the house.
Then if my husband should make any
inquiries as to this purchase you could
not be a witness against me. The
mistress of the flat consented, and the
next day the caller and her friend were
on hand promptly, and the mistress OF

part had caused loss OF a half million

New uses For Old shnes.

1t may be a surprise to some people
to learn that the old shoes cast into the
ash barrel are liable to reappear in the
boudoir and parlor. An inquisitive re
/ porter who saw couple of rag-piekers
quarreling over lot Of worn out ana
seemingly worthless footgear inter
viewed one of the chiffoniers and found
that they sold them TO the manufac-
turers of wall paper. He followed up
the elew, and, on questioning the fore
man of one of these establishments,
elected the following bits of Informal
ton:
I'VE buy" said the foreman, "all
the boots and shoes that tho scavcn-
gers can bring us. We pay
different prices for the different
qualities of leather A pair of fine
calfskin boots will bring rs high as fif-
teen cents. We don't buy cowhide
boots. The boots and shoes are first
soaked in several waters to get the dirt
off from them. Then the nails and
threads are removed, the leather is
ground up into fine pulp and is ready
to use.
"The embossed leather papering
which has come into fashion lately
and the stamped leather fire screens
are really nothing but thick paper COW
cred with layer of this pressed leather
pulp. The finer the quality Of the
leather the better it takes the bronze
and old gold and other expensive col
ors in the designs painted on them.
Fashionable people think they are go
ing away back to medieval times when
they have the wall of their libraries
and dining-rOoms covered with en-
bossed leather. They didn't know that
the shoes and boots which their neigh
bors threw into the ash barrel month
before form the beautiful material on
their walls and on the screens which
protect their eyes from the fire.
I'VE could buy the old shoes cheap
er if ii were not for the competition
form carriage makers and bookbinders
and picture frame makers. | don t
know how many other trades use old
shoes and boots, but the tops Of car
riages are largely made Of them,
ground up and pressed into sheets.
BOokbinGers use them in making the
cheaper forms of leather bindings, and
the new style of leather frames with
leather mats in them are entirely made
of the cast off covering of the feet. :

Happiness, like the kingdom of Heav-

set forth by DR.. John Halls as follows:

With cluster of daisies, aud then was

To join her friends in innocent play.
Once and again she came my way,
And floral tribute lay at my feet,

Chasing the minutes with pleasure 5 feet.

EMBODIED with every radiant hue,
Whose sweet perfume no soul can spare,
They're longing TO blossom, my love, in

Bring a lily fair from purity's throne,
A regal rose and violet blue
Aud Irvine a garland iiecked and flown,
With obeisance sweet aud humility true,
Compare thy tone to the nightingale's song,
Unclose thy eyes with thu Same soft light
That makes the gazelle to love belong
Compare thine aim to the eagles flight
Moving onward and upward in free do

Unswerving and true in thy silent life,
Till thy heart unfolds on boundess plain
OF devotional love that knows no strife.

"Oh, dearl' said Beulah, LAYING
her head upon the table to hide her
tears. al shouldn't think you'd say

tongue and began again: mo, Dwight

You are not married. are you?" she
asked with tiny tremble in her voice.
"No, but intend TO be soon, unless

she answered hesitatingly. Then to
show him that she did not care, she
asked: lis it a Boston lady?"

The stingiest Nan in Massachusetts.


Probably the most economical man
n Essex county resides in West Lyons,
SAYS the Boston Post He is a hard
worker, and three crackers and a half
pint of milk and water are a banquet
for him. He occupies his leisure Time
in quartering matches, and a quarter
gross goes long way in his house.
For the benefit of those who cannot I'M
derstand how a man can divide a match
in four parts the following plan Is given;
Have a thin bladed pen knife; lay the
match on smooth surface, red end
pointed toward you; split the match by
pressing down upon it with the knife,
being careful not to cut across the grain.
Long practice has made this fellow SC
skillful that he rarely fails to make one
match do the work of four. Once and
while his wife used to muster up cour-
age to appropriate a chicken from their
flock and bake it for dinner Upon his
return home this man, who is so "milk-
ing" as some of the neighbors put it,
used to open the oven-dOor, take a good,
long smell of the fumes arising from the
roasting chicken, drink glass of milk,
and go back to work, declaring that he
had had "a feast fit for King. This
man had a son and one daughter. The
son died, leaving about $1,000 to the
girl, who was but child. 1t is said by
the neighbors that he actually charged
his own daughter for board until the
81 900 had found its way to bis bank ac-
count.

AT ARLINGTON.


The broken column, reared in air,
To him who made our country great,
Can almost cast its shadows where
The victims of grand disdair,
In long, long ranks of death await
The last loud trump, the Judgment Sun,
Which comes for all, and soon or late
Will come for those at Arlington.
In that vast sepulchre repose
The thousands reaped from every fray;
The men in blue who once uprose
In battle front 10 smite their foes
The Spartan bands who wore the gray.
The combat DER, the death-hug done,
In summers blaze or winters SHOWS,
They keep the truce at Arlington.
Aud, almost lost in myriad graves
OF those who gained the unequal nght,
Are mounds that hide Confederate brave
Who reck not how the north wind raves
In dazzling day or dimmest night.
Ger those VINO lost and those who won,
Death holds no pa:ley which was right
Jehovah judges Arlington.
The dead had rest; the dove of peace
Brooded DER both with equal wings,
To both had Genre that great surcease,
The last omnipotent release
From ali the worlds delirious stings.
To bugal deaf and signal gun
They slept, like heroes of old Greece,
And in the springs benignant reign,
The sweet May woke her harp OF pines;
Teaching her choir thrilling strain
OF jubilee TO land and main,
She danced IN emerald down the lines,
Denying largess bright TO none,
She saw no difference in the signs
That told who slept at Arlington.
She gave her grasses and her showers
F. all alike who dreamed in dust;
Her song birds wove their dainty bowers
Amid the jasmine buds and flowers,
And piped with an impartial trust.
Waits of the air aud liberal sun!
Their guileless Glees were kind and just
To friend and foe at Arlington.
And mid the generous spring there came
Some women Of the land who Stroge,
To make this funeral field of fame
Glad as the Nav Gods altar flame.
With rosy wreaths Of mutual love.
Unmindful who had lost or won.
They scorned the jargon of name,
No North, no South, at Arlington.

f.it Really Consumptionq

Many case supposed to be radical
lung disease is really one OF
liver complaint and indigestion, but,
unless that diseased liver can be re-
stored to healthy action, it will so clog
the lungs with corrupting matter as to
bring on their speedy decay, and then
indeed we have consumption, which is
scrofula of the lungs, in its worst form:
Nothing can be more happily calculated

the fiat was as good as her word and
remained secluded. She heard nothing
more Of either until few days ago,
when she discovered that the friend
was money-lender who had been
roped inro the house by the little wom-
an. who had represented to him that
the furniture was her own, and on this
she secured a loan of three hundred
and fifty dollars, executing a mortgage.
The money-lender is the party who is
interested in having the detectives
"catch the pretty little woman who
stopped at the Palmer" and took him
in. The same trick was played once
before in this city, about a year ago, on
the West Side Chicago Herald.

They put their cash in a big bag

The overland express from the Pa
citic Coast, comes steaming and thun-
dering along over wide, snowy ex-
panse of flat country, and draws up
with snort at desolate little wooden
station, standing almost alone in the
middle of a great prairie. Eager pas
sengers crowd to doors and windows,
glad of anything to break the monotony
/ of their long journey, and the sight
| that meets their eyes is novel enough to
/ keep them there. A group of miners
I in rough attire, with bronzed faces and
unkempt boards, are clustered about a
+ little girl of some eight or nine years,
clad in costume strange to the pet
! ted darlings of fashion, but warm and
comfortable for that bitter winter
flannel, such as mems shirts are formed
of. and rudely-fashioned fur coat and
cap, made by loving but unskillful fin
gers. Nothing, however, can mar the
winsome face of the little maid, whose
brown eyes are dcwy with tears, as she
clings round the neck of one of the
men and holds up her lips, to bc kissed
by all the others.
You will look after my little gal,
and take her safe, says the tall man
who holds her, with break in his
voice, to the conductor, as he presses
generous fee into his hand.
And give her the best of every
thing" puts in another, while he draws
a sleeve across his eyes; "nothin" |
reckon, is too good for our Nugget. '
The luck of the camp will go with
her, I'm afraid, groans another; and
then the engine blows the signal for
departure, and amid sobs and hand
shakes the child is lifted to the platform
and waves farewell, while the group of
men shout, Give the little I'm a send
of-Hurrah. for the Nugget of Gold
Ore Camp and loud cheers awaken
the echoes as the conductor enters the
Pullman car, leading the wee girl by
the hand.
The passengers arc deeply interested
and crowd round. to inquire the history
of the newcomer. "She is not exactly
a passenger" says the gentlemanly
official, las she is sent by express; but

There is her LABEL and he pointed to
