DESTROYED by Bad Bows.

No n but a builder can realize what
annoyance and loss he is compelled to
endure from the d~epredations of mis-
chievous boys. No sooner is the found
alton for a building laid han the trouble
begins. When the workmen leave the
place then the boys take possession. They
begin by throwing stones, sticks and
everything they can get hold of into the
mortar beds, sometimes entirely running
them by shoveling in all the surplus sand
and refuse that are left near the mortar
vat. They break and otherwise destroy
the finely finished bricks that are used IN
the fronts of residences, break up slate,
carry away laths and do all sorts of dew
ilish things.
When the house is nearly completed it
is then the mischievous boy does his
worst acts of vandalism. When the
plastering is fresh On the walls it is his
delight to take a stick and scratch and
mar the fresh plaster as much as possible.
Nothing pleases these boys more than to
make rude figures and scratch names
and initials in deep lines on the smooth
surface of the freshly plastered walls.
The loss to builders in st. Louis every
year by the de~predations of young hood
lums is simply inestimable. 1t is almost
impossible to find out the guilty parties,
and the builder has to bear his losses and
annoyances with as good grace as pos
sible.-William Cochran in Globe Demo-

Ii is runiored that an association is TO
be formed by several Of the au]ctioneers,
the purpose of which is 10 encourage the
flow OF oratory and descriptive power
among these s~laughterers of goods, wares
and merchandise, public and private. 1t
is felt that something be done so
that business may be more equally dis
tributed among this brotherhood. No
name has yet been decided upon for the
association, though it is rumored it has
been suggested that it should be called
the Auctioneer's School of Oratory. A

Gently, at which various plans of organi-
cation were considered, the matter being
finally left in the hands of a committee
10 prepare and submit a constitution and
bylaws at a future meeting. Some Of
the ideas promulgated were interesting,
and showed that many of the a"uctioneers
are anxious to rid the craft of the nom
onous system of selling now commonly
in vogue.
1t was shown that in conducting a sale
even ordinary articles of household fur
uiture might nave their value enhanced
considerably by being melhfluously de-
scribed, and thus invested with an IN
terest that would divest those present of
their capital. One very silvery tongucd
dweller on the rostrum said that in sell
ing n fancy rocking chair it should be
described as a sermon in leather; a che
val glass rs the jocose production Of a
Scandinavian artisan; a couch as a
dream in plush, on which to seek and
find repose; a parlor set as having
caught the rays of a vanishing rainbow;
another, as enhancing as the CLEAN of
the stars or the splendor which dies with
the moon; a parlor set possessing a
placid yet tepid aspect; a dining room
in antique oak, a perfect gush of 70
luminous euphony; an easy chair, 4

teous but mingled with a sweet half sad

l suppose everybody has noticed that it
is more difficult to pose as a swell in a big
town than a small n The same may
be said in the cities of the world. 1t is
somewhat on the following plan: In
Chicago-A nan may be a swell if. he
has a pot of money. 1t is permissible to
be engaged in business.
New York-Money first, foremost and
forever, but no business that approaches
the retail.
Vienna-Social eminence, particularly
with women, military position, good
family.
Berlin-Military prestige.
Paris-Money, manners, recklessness,
originality in sin and a popular fad.
Business not to be thought of.
London-Blood, title, but not neces-
sarily money, if endowed with natural
aptitude for initiating the leaders of
fashion. No connection with any bust
ness venture, absolute correctness in
every detail of attire and outward cir
cumstance, and an endless amount of
admiration for recognized social leaders.
1t struck me that men of distinctive
tendencies toward swelldom in Chicago
missed the details small and attractive
of both life and attire, while, to be frank.
there are, in New York, very few men
who approach anything like the stand
ard reached by their models across the

The Denunciatlon of Noise.

II can bear the heat very well, - said a
student forced to spend a summer in the
city, ''but l cannot endure the noise"
Possibly he did not stop TO consider that,
in making such a declaration, he placed
himself in illustrious company. Thomas
Carlyle could not abide" n noise, espe-
Cially that of the morning Growing of
cocks. Wallenstein, accustomed as he
was to the din of battle, had an unoon-
querable dread of the barking Of dogs,
and even the clatter of the large spurs
fashionable in his day. In order to in
sure quiet, he engaged twelve patrols TO
make regular circuits about his house
night and day.
Neither Julius Cesar nor the philoso-
pher, Kant, could tolerate the Growing
of poor chanticleer, who, indeed, seems
to have very few friends among the studi-
Gus and sensitive. Schopenhauer exceeds
almost all lovers of quiet in the extrava-
gance OF his d~enunciation of noise. He
declares that the amount which n man
can bear with ease is in inverse ratio to
his mental power.
If l hear a dog barking for hours on
the threshold of a house, " he writes, Il
know well enough what kind of brains l
may expect from its inhabitants. -

Teaching Dogs Stage Tricks.

The pointer is the most easily trained
of short hair dogs. The bulldog is much
more intelligent than is generally sup
posed, and, while less ferocious than is
commonly believed, none is capable of
greater affection. Mr.. Stevens insists
that kindness is the principal factor in
training dogs. Other fanciers, however,
have long commended that brute force only
can be relied upon.
Most stage tricks are done by cues or
signals, without attracting the attention of
h audience. "Romeo'' selects any num-
Der given by one of the audience. Blocks
upon which the ten numerals are painted
are arrayed in a row on the stage. The
dog has been taught to commence at the
extreme right, and a slight clearing in
the throat by the master, unheard beyond
the footlights, is n cue for the dog to pass
the first, second, third, ETC., until he
reaches the correct block. Silence then
gives consent, and the trick is successfully
performed. 1t required two years of pa
tent training to teach Romeo to pick out
those numbers, his trainer said, although
the dog is n remarkably bright animal

Different Kinds of Courage.

Illustrative of the different kinds of
courage observable in different races,
Lord Wolseley tells US that at the storm
ing of Lucknow our troops found them
selves In presence Of a gate house, from
the upper stories of which a severe fire
was kept up on them. The only access
to the upper stories was by some very
narrow winding staircases, hardly admit
ting one man at a time. The English
soldiers shrank for a moment from what
seemed certain death. But the Sikhs
rushed in, went up the s~taircases with
out a moments hesitation, and in five
minutes had thrown every rebel out of
the windows. Yet the Sikhs would not
have stood up man to man against Eng
hsh infantry. There is also the courage
peculiar to certain individuals and GER
tain races which arises from contempt
for death and the belief that it only leads
to a better and happier life. This was
Gordon's courage. This was the courage
Of the Ironsides. And this is the cour-
age of the TurkE.-London Standard.

How Lord Give Won His Wife.

About the middle of the last century a
young cadet named Maskeleyne went to
India, where he became acquainted with
Lord Give. The acquaintance ripened
into intimate friendship and led to CON
slant association. There hung up in
Maskeleyne's room several portraits.
among others n miniature which attracted
Gives frequent attention. One day
after the English mail had arrived Give
asked Maskeleyne if he had received any
English letters, adding: 1--WE have been
very much misunderstood at home ami
much censured in English circles.
Maskeleyne replied that he had, and read
TO his friend a letter he then held in his
hand.
a day or two afterward Give came
back to ask to have the letter read to
him again. "Who is the writer in

The Victims of Fright.

The Oriental legend that represents
cholera meeting the traveller flying from
the scourge, and telling him that the
majority of the dead were the victims of
fright, not of the plague, seems to apply
TO the yellow fever scare in the United
States. If the same number of people
who die in New York in a single season
of pneumonia, consumption, or avoidable
accidents, fell victims to yellow fever or
any other epidemic, the city would be
emptied Of inhabitants, and panic and
CONSERVATION would prevail. The scare
created much more suffering and
disturbance than the disease itself. Hence
in some southern countries where it is
endemic it attracts no more notice than
most of the other evils that afhict the
human family. Courage is one Of the
best of medicines. -Once q Week.

We offer no apology for d~evoting so much time
and attention TO this much neglected class of
diseases, believing that no condition of human
ity is too wretched to merit the sympathy and
best services of the profession to which we be-
long, as many are innocent sufferers, and that
the physician who devotes himself
to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less a
philanthrophist and a benetactor to his race
than the surgeon or physician who by close APP
plcation eScels IN any other b anch OF his pro-

condemned the victims of folly or crime, like
the lepers under the Jewish law, to die uncared

There are many men of the age of 30 to 80 who
are troubled with too frequent excavations OF
the bladder often accompanied by a slight

posits a ropy sediment will often be found, and
sometimes small particles of albumen will ap-
pear, or the color Will be of akin or milkish
hue, again changing to a dark and turbid ap

this difficulty ignorant of the cause, which is
the second stage of seminal weakness. DIR.

3rd member for FrederikSted's Country

looked upon as being solely a means Of
raising additional emOlumemtS for the ply

satisfied as they have it now and they
should not be the cause of additional ex-

of putting money in their pockets.

On behalf of the physicians in question,
who resent and repudiate the charge, l
distinctly state:
LIST The physicians have not solicit.
ed the proposed arrangement.
End The physicians are satisfied TO do
without being corpse inspectors, and AVE
nO WISH to be the cause of additional ex-
penSe.

barely cover their travelling expenses.

Another honorable member H~suggested|
that physicians having contracts with
estates should be compelled" to perform
the inspection and issue certificates with
out charging. aa @
Although the proposal came from a
successful member of the legal profession,
1doubt that such an atrocious measure could
be carried. Even if feasible it would seem
hard to Compel physicians to act as
corpse inspectors as long as estates are
not Tftcompelled"t to engage doctors. What
would the honorable member say, if lawyers

Sioux Falls Press; Afew years ago q
man and woman from Lake county were
incarcerated in the Sioux Falls peniten-
tiary on o charge OF adultery, but it was
subsequently, discovered that while they
had been duly found guilty by the Jury
they had never been duly sentenced
by the Judge. The clerk, supposine the
sentence had been passed, made out the
required papere and sent the prisoners
down by the sheriff, and they were taken
in charge by the warden. When the fact
developed that the pair AS or so years
old By the way had not been legally
sent TO the prison they we're quietly
taken to the door and told to depart.
Down in New York they have now q
particular caae somewhat similar, and
they don't know how to get rid of the
prisoners. Ashoft time ago the grand
Jury considered the case of two men
charged with burglary and, owing TO
insufficient evidence, dismissed the bill;
and she secretary 30 stamped it, but on
the back instend Of the face of the bill.
The foreman OF the grand jnry oyer
looked the endorsement and signed tiae
indictments. The two men,, supposing
an indictment had been found against
them, pleaded guilty and were ssn-
tenced TO the p%enitentiary where they
now are. The facts of the case have
just come to light, and the court is
wrestling with the question as to how
10 get them out of prison. and 1t is som
ceded they are unlawfnlly detained.

Pacific Railroads,

Washington, Jan. 3-The reports of
the, Pacific railroad commission lead to
considerable talk among members OF
congress who remain in Washington. It
ia thought that the commissioners have
not cleared mp the matter much by their
work, There was a majority in the last
congress who thought prompt action
should be taken to secure the interests
OF the government, but there was q
diff ference of opinion as TO the best
means In a. enran!ish thss. 55oSas .ookh
about the same view OF the matter taken
by Mr.. Pattison. Others believed in
the plan fol. a bonded extension of
the debt, as proposed by the Pacific
railroads committee of ths house. 1t
was thought that aD investigation might
lead to recommendations upon which
there might be united action. The re-
suit is the same difference Of opinion
between she committee that before ex-
ieted in the house. It is believed, how
ever, that the house committee will be
organized SO as to be in aceord with the
majority OF the committee, and that q
bill will be passed such as was urged by
Messrs. Crisp and Outhwait last session.
