4 Beautiful Blow.

"Ore day in 1867" says Mr.. Ed
Johnson of the Boston Ideals, L
was standing in front of the old Lo-
gan House at Altoona, Pa, admiring
suhperb-lookiDg man who was
pacing up and down the walk, medi-
tating, presumably. as the rest OF US
were, on the length of minutes when
one is waiting for DELAYED train.
Presently a big, broad-shouldered
mnulder, who seemed to recognize
the superb gentleman, shambled up
near him and muttered something
which was evidently intended to of
fend him. The puperb gentleman,
however, paid no more attention to
it than to look rather sharply at the
moulder and pass on. Soon the
moulder repeated the performance,
with about the same result, and the
lockers on began to wonder what it
all meant. By and by the moulder.
evidently taking the superb gentle
mans indifference to him for cow
ardice, stopped squarely before him
and said something which would
not look well in print about the
id Yankee General
" | never saw q hsndsomer blow
in my life. 1t landed souarely on
the Jaw of .he moulder, and seemed
TO raise him neatly and gracefully
iuto the air and then stretch him
tidily at full length on the platform
several feet away. The superb gen
tleman looked at the back of mis-
hand with an expression of disgust,
as if eondemning the hand for what
1t bad zone, and then resumed his
promenade as if nothing had hap
Pened. The last saw of the moul-
der his friends were helping him
away, bat frequently saw General
Hancock after that, and came t.
know that he was always the same
kind OF man-slow to take offence.

Another Good Boy

A Detroit grocer.was the other day
hungrily waiting for MS clerk to re-
turn from dinner and give him a
chance at his own noonday meal
when a boz came into the store with
basket in his hand, and said
II seed a boy grab up this ere
basket from the door and run, and
| run after him and made him give
it up"
My lad, you are al honest boy
Yes, sir"
And you look ike a good boy"
Yes, sir.
"And good boys should always be
encouraged. In a box in the back
room there are eight dozen eggs.
You may take them home TO your
mother and keep the basket"
The grocer had been saving those
eggs for days and weeks to reward
sone one. In rewarding a good boy
he also got eight dozen bad eggs out
of the neighborhood free OF cost, and
be chuckled a little chuck as he
walked homewards.
The afternoon waned, night came
and went. and once more the grocer
went to his dinner. When he re-
turned be was picking his teeth and
wearing a complacent smile. His
eyes caught a basket of eight dozen
eggs as he entered the store, and he
queried
Been buying some eggs
"Yes, got hold of those from a
farmers boy p replied the clerk.
"A lame boy with a blue cap on ?"
Yes"
Two front teeth out27
YES"
The grocer sat down aud exam in
ed the eggs. The shells had been
washed clean, but they we're the
same eggs that the good boy had
lugged home the day before.

The City OF Shanghai.

The conservatism of the Chinese
character and the EXTREMIST point
OF provincialism are instaLced in the
story told of the resident. within
the walls of their native city of
Shanghai. The city has three gates,
the north. south, and west ones, and
many of the people living at the
south gate have never been as far as
the north gate and could not under
stand the dialect of the inhabitants
if they did go there. One nation
c0uld not differ more from another
than the Chinese from the Japanese
if they lived twenty thousand miles
apart instead of only two hundred
miles, and one is all wrong if he
thinks that having seen japanese
cities he can know what a Chinese
one will be like. While the Japa-
nese are the cleanest people on the
face of the earth, and far ahead of
the English for eternity bathing and
scrubbing themselves, the Chinese
are the very dirtiest. The trim, ex-
quisite little toy house of the Japa-
nese along wide streets are the great
est contrast to the filthy abodes of
the Chinese with their dirt Ioor..

streets often less than five feet wide

forest of gilt letters, gorgeously col

with chop fronts all open above a
low counter, seem like passages in
some fantastic exhibition hall with
booths or spaces" close together.
Mere creyices in the walls CORE

or down the tunnel of street before

meant by "swarms of people or

packed as if at q macs meeting. and
one has to dodge into shops or fiat

The Cat Smiled sereneIy.

Some weeks ago amateur photog-
raphy was the rage among the young
ladies of New York society Nearly
every one of them had an instru-

But what to DO with them was some

them down stairs and put them IN

1t was too late to do anything,
for the chicken that had been hdtch-

could find nothing in the yard to

She said that in her life she never

That rheumatism and neuralgia sire SC
prevalent? This question has not been
satisfactorily answered, bat it is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful but among the most common, and
some member of nearly every family in the
land is the victim of enc of these dread
tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly
liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the
form of neuralgia headache, pain in the
back, or nervous pains are of constant oc-
cIrrence. Not until the discovery OF tthlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous
headache and they were generally con-
ceded to be incurable, but Athlophoros
has been proved to be not only certain
cure for these diseases, in all their varied
forms, but a s,Je remedy. If, in the use
of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely
open, its success is certain, and to aid this,
Athlophoros Pills are recommended,
which, while providing the necessary
cathartic, will be found to be valuable
aid to the action of the medicine. Athlo-
phoros is no experiment, it has been tested
and has proved its wonde riul efficacy.
The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared as remedy for use in connection
with Athlophoros, fer rheumatism and
neuralgia and kindred complaints Used
in connection with that remedy, they are
a certain cure for either of these very COM
mon and distressing diseases. They have
also been found to be an invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from initiated
blood or general debility. They are es-
pecially valuable for nervous debility, blood
poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating,
headache, constipation, loss of appetite,
and all stomach or liver troubles. For
diseases Of women they are invaluable
These pills are perfectly harmless and may
| be safely used by adults or children.
Testimonials of those who have been
cured will be sent free on application.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
aud Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
| not be bought of the druggist, the Athlo-
phoros Co, 112 Wall St. New York. will
