The increased use of tie typewriter has
given startling prominence to the bad
spelling by those who use it. There is no
blurring over with the pen, word you
can't spell. In order to obviate this diff
Guilty it is becoming the habit in the best

PROBLEM OF heating and lighting.

The problem of heating and lighting
becomes more and more complicated
every year by the electric light and nat
ural gas discoveries. Thirteen years ago
Gen. J. S. Easement, of gainesville, Ohio,
put down the first natural gas well in this
country. He told me abouf It recently.
II ran a pipe down 662 feet said he. AT
that depth the drill dropped two yards ia
one jump. The gas Immediately began to
pour, and it has supplied my house with
heat and light ever since. The only
trouble find about it is that it deprives
the women folks Of fire to poke. u u

absence of fire they poke at me-

Honduras Climate, Resources and People

Honduras is the country most favored
of all the Central American countries in
the matter of climate, natural resources
etc. All minerals are found in abundance,
the coast produces nearly every variety
of tropical fruit, and millions of acres are
covered with mahogany, rosewood, satin
wood, logwood aud many other valuable
trees, and the coffee, tobacco and sugar
are not surpassed by those of any other
country. Gold, 925 fine, can be washed
out of the river-beds, and silver, copper,
iron and lead are found in abundance
Along the northern coast line the eli
mate is apt to be malarious, but this only
applies to a strip fifty miles wide. Inland
it is much healthier than our southern
states. Yellow fever, cholera, smallpox
or any such scOurges are unknown. Save
in the capital, there is little society, of
course. but the foreigners in Honduras
are too busy for society, anyway. Mining
and stock raising are the principal indus
tries. The government is exceedingly
liberal, and to the right person large con-
cessions will be made. The stock-raising
is very profitable. AT no time in the year
is the grass less than six inches high, and
during the rainy season it grows two feet.
The beef is superior to Texas beef, and IS
of good fiber and quite juicy. 1t brings
better prices than Chicago beef does here.
The natives are peaceable and fairly in
dustrious. Heretofore the Europeans have
controlled the Central American trade,
and they have the lions share of it yet.
There are nine English firms in Belize,
with invested capital of more than s., 00O,-
900 each. Now, however, Americans are
pulling out good share of the trade. A
Grand Rapids firm has large concessions
of timber lands, and is shipping tons and
tons of mahogany and rosewood to this
country. The same men have organized
a fruit company and send bananas, plan
tains, ETC., by the boatload, Chicago

London Punch,s Distinguishing Trait.

We believe it is the distinguishing trait
of Punch, and the one that has preserved
its pre-eminence all these years, that
with all its opportunity, and all the
temptation and all the example in other
European prints, it has scrupulo1sly held
back the first step, either by way Of pict-
ure or witticism into the realm Of those
relations between the sexes from which
tbs Paris, and even the German prints
draw most of their seasoning and spicery.
This is due to something deeper and
better in English nature than the we'll
known hypocrisy and can't described IN
John Bull and His Island" 1t is from
the same innate delicacy which, in this
country, grants women more immunity
from certain things than they enjoy any
where else in the civilized world. In its
final analysis, il would doubtless be found
to have its origin in love of fair play and
a detestation of sneaking business Of any
sort.-Boston Transcript.

While it is desirable that the extraction
of teeth should be done skillfully and
easily to the patients, yet tell my patients
that wish to make extraction as horrible
as possible, and advise young dentists all
to do so, so as to keep that horror as much
as possible before the public. Keep it up,
because we hope the day win soon come
when we wiz not extract teeth, The
present advance of dental science is such
that verify believe the time will come
within our own lives when the operation
of extraction will be seldom performed.

Artists Proofs ana Second Impressions.
The artists proof pictures are always
good investments for the reason that
there are only so many struck off, and
after a certain time they become scarce
and valuable. The price is fixed by the
publishers, who notify dealers Of the in
creased value of the picture as the price
increases. The same plate is used in all
pictures, yes, but there Is a difference In
these pictures according TO whether they
are first or Last impressions. The first inn
pressions are the remarked proofs. These
have q certain mark, a little design OF
some kind just beneath the plate and are
signed by Che artist and ctcher. These
are the mort valuable. The second inn
pressious aae the artists proofs. These
do not have the design, but have the auto
graph. The third and so on are the re-
gular editions. A remarked copy Of a

The overcoat of a fashionable Circassian
contains on the breast row of cartridge
pockets, and at his side he carries a sword
or hanger. These gentlemen wear their
trousers stuffed in very high-topped boots,
and present quite a fierce and forbidding
air as they saunter through the streets,
occasionally toying with the gun or sword
at their side. 1 saw several of them in
Odessa, and as gazed upon them from a
respectful distance they brought up
thoughts of the festive cowboy in the far
west. The far west and far east agree in
this respect if in no otheS-both can show
some rather wild and weird looking speci-
mems of humanity. OF course l would not
assert that Russian ladies partake in this
popularity of character, but certainly il
some things which occur in Odessa may
be taken as a criterion, they, too, have a
little of the western "chic" about them

How Chewing Anects the Nerv "a.

High medical authority is responsible
for the statement that in temperate and
cold countries tobacco creates thirst, and
thereby encourages drinking habits; in
tropical chimes it has no such effect on the
smoker, and the taste for alcohol rarely
follows its use in those ATTITUDES. Very
eminent observers have, indeed, attributed
the proverbial sobriety of eastern peoples
20 the use of tobacco. There are impor-
tant qualifications having reference to the
smoker himself and his surroundings, and
modifying the effects of his indulgence
in such manner IS irresistibly suggest
the old proverb: zone mans food is an
other mans poison"
But, further, the effects vary according
to the method of consumption; and here
we touch a question of great interest,
bearing upon several stimulant narcotics,
and that is the question of chewing. All
solid foods undergo this process in the
mouth, and of our chief products, tobacco,
coca, opium and betel are also chewed.
The act of chewing powerfully affects the
nerves of the mouth, being branches Of
the fifth pair of nerves, and in close con-
nection with the brain. While it has long
been understood that certain nerves in
the mouth excite, when stimulated by
food, the pleasureable sensations Of taste,
it is a more recent discovery that the
chewing of solids produces through the
fifth nerve certain stimulant impressions
upon the nervous centers. One Of the
consequent efforts is a quickened circula-
ton in the brain. What light this throws
upon the habit of chewing the world Overl

An Interesting Contest.


Woodside and Prince will race again for
the championship. They have arranged to
run fifty-mile race on Saturday evening
next at Chicago. Speaking of Woodside,
Prince says he is the hardest competitor he
has to meet In the American professional
ranks; that the man Woody defeats has
nothing to be ashamed OF.
All credit is due Woodslde for the
wonderful record he made. Four times
previous to this race has he essayed to
break the worlds professional record, The
first time he simply intended to break the
American record, which he did easily.
After going forty miles II was discovered
he had q chance to break the worlds
record, but too late for him to make up the
difference, he failing by but ii seconds.
The second time he attempted 1t he went
about thirty miles, when he was taken with
violent cramps and had to give II up. On
the third attempt everything went well
until about thirty-flYe miles had been coy
cred, when three spokes In the large wheel
gave away, which Of course destroyed his
chances The fourth time he and his friends
were confident of success. Every detail TO
bring the same about being carefully
attended TO, but again misfortune was keep
ing him company. Mile after mile was made
and lew record was the result, until 46
riles were covered, when the small wheel OF
the light racerhe was riding collapsed, he
had to stop and change wheels; but the time
lost could not be recovered, aud the old re-
cord still stood. Woodside never gave up
the idea OF holding the record, and although
in very poor condition on Saturday, he de-
cided TO have go for 1t. 1t is now his, aud
he is well worthy OF 1t. The race next Sat
urday will decide which Is the better man,
and large audience is sure to witness tho
men In their final struggle.
