Ideas.

The time mas come when thinking people
are ready to drop old ideas and grasp some
thing new and practical. To illustrate-the
inventive genius of the world has been en-
ployed for the last ten years to find q new
idea in the sewing machine department, and
success has been attained only in the Stand
ard sewing machine, manufactured in Cleve-
land, Ohio. The principal of the cd shuttle
has been overcome and perfect rotary shut

father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dad.


Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co, N. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were SO weak raised blood. Nobody
thought 1 could live. My work (ship-
smithing) was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition L
commenced using Mishler's Herb Biftefs,
and it saved my life. Because it was 70.
difficult to get it in this little place, and I
had improved SO much, / stopped taking IL
for time, and the result is that have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and must have
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and I will make affidavit to it, for
owe nay life to Mishler's Herb Bitters."
s.The secret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhea, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishlers Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in it's composition prepared by regular
physician; standard medicinal prepare
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price loo
per large bottle. 6 bottles for $500.

Our Great Ignorance of Mexico.

Although geographically near, and
having been in commercial relations with
the rest of the world for over $50 years,
there is probably less known to-day
about Mexico than of almost any other
country claiming to be civilized; GER
1xinly not as much as concerning Egypt,
Palestine, or the leading states of British
IRdia, and not any more than concerning
fhe outlying provinces of Turkey, the
states of Northern Africa. or the seaport
districts of China and Japan. 1t is
doubtful, furthermore, if as large a pro-
a0rtioG as one in thousand of the fairly
educated men of the United States or of
. Europe, could at once, and without ref
tsrence to an encyclopedia, locate and
IaaIne the twenty-seven states or polit-
alcivisions into which the republic of
Mexico is divided, or so many of its
town and cities as have population in
.s,xce~'s of $4,000 or 2O,OOO.-David A.

SECRET OF A GREAT RIVER.

The Headwaters of the Brahmaputra-Au
Explorer in Disguise.
Descending from the Himalaya mount
aims and flowing for nearly 1000 miles
along the southern border of Thibet is
the river Sanpo, which has been the sub
ject of more geographical controversy
than any other river in the world. No
body has known whether this large river
was the headwaters of the Brahmaputra
and reached the sea through India, or
whether it fed Irawady and flowed
through Burmah. Most geographers
have been disposed to identify it with
the Brahmaputra, but as late as January
last year, Mr.. Robert Gordon, the leading
authority on the photography of the
Irawady, read a paper in London to show
that the Sanpo must be tributary to the
Burmese river.
In the southeast corner of Tibet is a
region marked on some maps as "The
Country of Robber and Wild Tribes.
These tribes have guarded the secret OF
the Sanpo. No explorer, white or In
dian, has ever penetrated their country.
The last to try it was the now famous
traveller, Ak, who had to turn back
three years ago from the threshold Of
the dreaded Mishmi country. The Mish-
mis- are still unvisited, but the secret of
the Sanpo has been solved beyond doubt.
It is identical with the Dihong, the
north Brahmaputra, and is thus the head
waters of that Indian river.
Not far from the southern edge of
Thibet a river coming from the east
unites with the Dihong to form the
Brahmaputra. Messrs. Needham and
Wordsworth fifteen months ago followed
this branch far east until their explora-
tons joined those of Ak. proving that
the river was identical with the Zayul
Chu, whose upper course he had
thoroughly explored. The Zayul Chu is
therefore the eastern branch of the Brah-
maputra, instead of an affluent of the
Irawady, as Mr.. Gordon and some Chi
nese geograpers have believed.
The Zayul Chu having now been as
oended east and northeast for several
hundred miles to its sources, it is certain
that the Sanpo can not join the Irawady
unless it either burrows under the Zayul
Chu or takes flying leap over 1t. 1t is
thus proved beyond doubt that the
Sanpo is identical with the northern
branch of the Brahmaputra. Another
geographical mystery has passed into the
realm of ascertained fact.
The explorer Ak is so called because
the names of the travellers in the employ
of the Indian government are not pub
lished until after they quit the service.
Ak travelled in the guise of mer-
chant, and if his real character became
known in many regions north of India
his usefulness as an explorer would be
destroyed.-New York Sun.

Maps Made by Native Greenlanders.


In the collections recently taken to
Denmark from the east coast of Green
land by Capt. Holm are several objects
that have excited the establishment of
European geographers. They are maps
made by the natives. The maps are en-
graved with their rude cutting nipple
ments on boards that drifted ashore.
They were found among the natives who
live along the shores of deep ford near
the most northern point attained by
Holm. Only ten or twelve of these 400
people have ever visited the Danish set
Elements in south Greenland, owing to a
stretch of glaciers and ice fields which
have SO nearly isolated them from the
world that their existence was not known
until recently. They had never seen a
white man until Holm and DR.. Knutzen
came among them.
Some of these curious maps, Capt.
Holm says, represent quite accurately
the contour of the coast, with all its
many big and little indentations, along
which they live. Other maps give the
outlines of islands lying near the coast,
and the explorers say the maps repro
duce the shape of the islands with good
degree of fidelity.-New York Sun.

The Boomerang Practically q Myth.

"Do we ever get fooled?" exclaimed
Barnum' when l asked him if he was
often led into wild goose chases after
things that turned out to be ordinary.
"Well, should say so. There's no de-
pendence to be placed on the reports of
travellers as to the alleged wonders
they've seen. For instarce, we've Just
wasted $500 on boomerang throwers.
You've heard of Austral. IN bushmen
who have a weapon made of bent
stick with sharp point, that tsey throw
with wonderful skill, hitting TIE prey
unerringly, and then returning of itself
to fall at the feet of the marksman. Well,
it struck me that half a dozen of sheIu
would be a fine attraction, and had an
agent go from London to the wilds oss
New South Wales; but he writes me that
the accounts are two-thirds lies, and
the remaining third isn't worth
bringing away. The boomerang
is fact, and the native Australian saw
ages fling it at game-missing about as
often as hitting; and it will return, if it
strikes nothing, to somewhere near the
starting point, but with no sort of GER
tainty. My man searched thoroughly.

perts to be found, but they amounted TO

sLossy Tales OF the BROKERS.
The Way In which They Are Kept shiny
The Uattcr,s Little Trick.

The Way In which They Are Kept shiny
Sfhe Hattcr's Little Trick.
@These brokers' are queer cattle, as a
rule remarked a desser in hats ON
lower broadway the other day. They
want their silk hats to shine all the time
rs il they were just out of factory.
Swell young men about town have that
sort VI desire, but it don't seem to be a
Characteristic of business men generally
except in the case of brokers. Some of
these brokers have their hats ironed. or
think they do, two and three times a
day, and have got SO into the habit O.
that sort Of thing that / have TO keep
but keep hats in order, either by block
ing or ironing"
The shiny tile of tie average broker
would seem to indicate either that what
the hat man said was true, or else that
tie brokers are lavish and frequent pur-
chascrs Of new silk hats. The former
was proved by inquiry to be the fact.
Nearly every downtown halter has a
similar experience. Brokers are liberal
economical in caring for them after they
once buy their tiles. however. 1t costs
from 50 cents to 81 to block them. So
the broker escapes the necessity of this
expense by going to his halter daily to
have them ironed. There is no charge
for this service. Ironing is supposed to
be the running of hot hatter's iron
over the glossy surface of the hat, and
this always gives lrlstre to the tile. 1t
don't take much time even when thor
oughly done, but it does help to do away
with the necessity for blocking hat,
and does, In q measure, help to eat up
the profits of the halter. So the willy
chatter has found a way to get even with
the broker.
Some of the brokers'" said one of
these, come in here as soon as they get
down in the morning and have their
lrats 'ironed. Then they go to business.
Knocking about in the crowds they run
up against spoils the appearance of their
hats. So, before they go up town they
either bring or send around tleir hats for
q fresh polish. Sometimes, too, they put
in an extra polish at lunch time, especi-
ally If they are to have ladies down town
to lunch with them. Now, that sort of
thing gets monotonous when it happens
s:c days in the week.
'uatters know, but the public gener-
ally doesn't kow We get even with these
brokers, whose custom we naturally
value too highly to offend the men in
any way. Once in a while VIC iron the
iron the hats, of course, iii order to keep
Glen N good shape, but generally all we
do Is to rub them, over with a bit of silk
warmed until it is quite hot. That gives
tue hat the necessary polish. 1t saves
Us the trouble of ironing, and the polish
n.,tkes the broker happy. If the people
knew how easily they could FURNISH up
their silk hats by simply rubbing them
"a III heated silk handkerchiefs suppose
~" should lose some money, but it would
save US lots of time and trouble. 1t
would be great scheme for us if brokers
