An Army of Travelling Statesmen.

There are 100000 commercial travel
crs, or statesmen on the road" in this
country. Each one of these is selected
from an army of clerks by his employers
and given his position on account of his
capabilities and special qualifications
for selling goods. He must be posted
daily as to prices, discounts, freight
rates, the cost of delivering goods at his
customers doors, and must have a thor
ough acquaintance with all the goods
in his line and the prices against which
he completes.
The drummer is to be met everywhere
IN the business world; he pierces every
village and hamlet of the civilized
globe; hotel keepers welcome him, be-
cause he helps to make business, and
merchants greet him whether or not
they want to buy. He spends money,
but it is a popular fallacy that he spends
his money freely. He must keep down
his expenses that his profits may be as
large as possible, as these regulate his
salary, Drummers carry from point to
point their customs and ideas. rs bees
carry pollen, and in this way they help
to instruct as well as to minister to the
physical wants of people, and being en-
tirely accommodating in their politics
and geographical preferences they may
be regarded as the great missionaries OF
! oosmOpOlitanism.

Resolve.

As the dead year is claspcd by a dead Decem-
Der,
So let your dead sins with your deaG days
lie.
new life is yours, and n new hopel Remem-
Der
We build our own ladders to climb to the
sky.
Stand out in the promise of sunlight forget
ting
Whatever your past held of sorrow or of
wrong;
We waste half our strength in useless re-
We sit by old tombs in the dark too long,
Have you missed i'm your aml well, the mark
is still shining.
Did you faint IN the race? well, take breath
for the next.
Did the clouds drive you back2 but see yondcr
their lining.
Were you tempted and fell? let it serve for a
text.
AS each year hurries by let it join that process
sion,
OF skeleton shapes that march down to the
past,
While you take your place in the line of pro-
erosion,
With your eyes on the heavens, your face to
the blast.
tell you the future can hold no terrors
For any sad soul while the stars rcvolve,
If he will but stand firm on the grave of his er-
rOrs,
Aud instead of rcgrctting. resolve, resolved
II is never too hate Ia begin rebuilding,
Though all into ruins your life seems hur-
ed
For look! how the light of the new year is
gliding
The worn, wan face of the bruised old
world!

Excitement in Texas.

Great excitement has been caused in
the vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the re-
markable recovery of Mr.. ]. +. Corley,
who was so helpless he could not turn in
bed, or raise his head everybody said
he was dying Of Consumption. A trial
sent him. Finding relief, he bought a
large bottle and a box of DR.. Kings New
Life Pills; by the time he had taken two
boxes of Pills and two bottles of the
Discovery, he was well and had gained
in flesh thirty-six pounds. Trial Bottles
of this Great Discovery for Consumption

The CaFFier-PigeOn.
the May Century is a profuse

In the May Century is profusely il
lustrated article on "The Breeding of
Fancy Pigeons" From it we quote the
following on the most quarrelsome and
savage of the pigeon family: 1.-The car
rier, the acknowledged king of pigeons.
has in Its name the source of great
annoyance to its sensitive fancier. He
admits for il an ancestry dating back to
the message-bearers of Persian kings
and Turkish sultans, and that the pecu-
liarities of structure-the prominent
wing-butts, the great muscular develop
mcnt which gives the full-rounded
breast, the wing best adapted to speedy
and long-continucd flight, and the pro-
truding eycball peculiar TO the travelling
bird. all points he values for their part
in the perfect symmetry-that these
were all fixed in Its day of usefulness as
the courier of royalty. But he is care
full to explain that he has counted out
all useful qualities and practical values
in the bird of to-day; that the points he
values highest are those of development
of growth, to perfect which his bird is
carefully secluded from the deteriorat-
ing Influences of sun and outdoor air;
that the name is only applicable to. it
for its elegant carriage, one of its most
valued and to be remarked properties;
that it is only the ignorant who could
confound the grand high-class bird with
that little shapeless message-bearer, the
homing pigeon.
"Thc carrier has always been held in
the highest esteem in England. Moore,
writing in 1875, tells of fancier in
Bishopsgatc street who kept silver
Ratchet and block with which to chop
of tho heads of those condemned to
death, that being of the blood royal
they ought not to die after the manner
of the common herd.
The first American establishment for
the exclusive manufacture of edged tools
was founded by Samuel Collins, at Col
linsville, Conn, about 1926. when the
product of days labor was the forging
and tempering Of eight broadaxes.

Why does the skull better resist the
ravages of time than any other bone?
This is a question propounded by ma
tlralist who has observed the fact on
opening the graves of mound-builders,
and has frequently remarked that the
skulls of buffalo, elk, and other animals
On the western plains are in a fair state
Of preservation long after the other
bones have entirely decaycd.
