When the tired factory operative, the

ed experience of thousands of workers be
voiced, the verdict would be that Hostel.
ter's Stomach Bitters renews failing
strength, stimulates the jaded mental
powers to fresh activity, and relaxes un
due nervous tension as nothing else does.
Digestion, a regular habit of body, appe-
tite and sleep, are promoted by it, and ii
is an admirable auxiliary in the recovery
of health by convalescents. A fastidious
stomach is not offended by it, and to per-
sons of both sexes in delicate health who
occasionally feel the need of an efficient
tonic, the whole range of the pharmaco-
p@ia and the cataloge of proprietary med
icines does not present a more useful,
safer, or more decisive one. 1t is also in
comparable for fever and ague, rheuma,
tism and kidney troubles.

A short distance ahead we overlook
and passed a caravan headed the same
way we were going, and my men had to
SO through the process of salutation, and
while l begrudged the time e took 1
could not but feel that the Moors would
confer a great boon upon enlightened
America if they could only come over
and introduce their form of salutation. A
couple of Americans meet, grab each
others hands, and you wonder how
much water they have contracted to
pump in five minutes. An E%nglishman
nears a friend and they pound each
other on the shoulder, while you look on
nervously, wondering who will draw
first blood. Frenchmen meet and they
fall to kissing each other, while you go
off in n corner and feel sick. Italians
fall into each others arms and go into
commissions, while you are hunting for
the doctor. The Portuguese hook their
chins over each others shoulders, as if
they wanted to find which pocket held
the handkerchief; while Spaniards hug
each other, with tears streaming down
their cheeks, leaving you in doubt as to
who has Just died; but the Arab, when
he meets his friend, advances toward
him, they join hands in firm pressure for
just a moment, and then, without q
grimace or movement of the lips, raise
their own hand and touch it to their lips,
saying afterward: "Welcome sight"
The whole thing is done with dignity that
is thoroughly manly, and yet with a hint
of tenderness that Is nothing less than
beautiful.-Cor. Boston Transcript.

This intense interest In the new work
had at first to be so modified as not to
interfere with the regular prosecution of
the intellectual or class room work
proper. After some experimenting, the
two lines of work were tremendously
adjusted to each other. Boys and girls
pass from their algebra and history to
their drawing, wood carving or clay
modelling, and from these again to geom-
etry and English literature, with a hearty
Eest for all. The girls in the domestic
economy department con their Virgils or
don their cooking suits, and prepare with
ease and grace such savory and palatable
food as would mollify the most radical
opponent of Industrial training. In
short, there is such a harmonious blend
ing of the useful and the practical with
the higher intellectual culture, that the
unprecedented observer needs but to In
spect h work to be convinced of the
reasonableness and great utility of such
training. The advantages of the manual
department are open TO none except
pupils of the public schools. Those who
take the manual work do the same
amount of mental work in the class room
studies as those who have no work in the
industrial acknowledgement

Probably the most curious ring in New
York is worn by the wife of a wealthy
and well known lawyer. She has three
handsome, manly sons, but only one
daughter, who made. her debut into soci-
ETY. this season, and was much admired.
This girl is the idol of her parents, and
the ring worn by her mother is a testi-
mony TO their affection, though a very
eccentric one. When the girl was 10
years of age the father presented to the
mother at Christmas a ring in which
were set two little semi-translucent white
stones surrounded by diamonds, and for
a long while resisted his wife's entreaties
to tell her what sort of stones they were,
she never having seen anything at all re-
sembling them. Finally he confessed to
her a little shamefacedly that when their
small daughter had lost her pretty little
milk teeth he had saved the two front
ones and carried them about IN his pock-
etbook for a long time until the idea oc-
CURED to him of utilizing them in this
way. The wife laughed at him a good
deal, but continued to wear the ring and
still wears it, though very few persons
know the story of its setting.-Brooklyn

Along the coast of France, where the
land line is formed by long stretches Of
sandbanks lying between the high cliff
uplands, there used to be found innu-
merable rabbits, who made their burrows
in the dry sand above high water mark.
They ran one hole into another, SO that
the labyrinth of underground passages
frequently extended for several hundred
feet, rendering it next to impossible to
dislodge the inmates In the usual manner
by slipping a ferret into one of the holes.
For If this were done, the ferret would
simply drive the rabbits from one corner
of the network to another, where they
would hide as soon as they had evaded
him.
The continental poacher, ever prolific
in devices, knowing that the instinct Of
the crab will lead him always to descend
in search of waiter, elaborated a system
Of placing q bolt net at the mouth of
every hole he could locate, no matter
how many there might be. Then taking
a dozen or SO good sized crabs, he fast
ened about half an inch of composite wax
candle to the center of each shell, fixing
them firmly enough for his purpose by
slightly melting the wax at the bottom,
and then pressing 1t to the shell. These
pieces of wax candles he obtained from
the lnnkeepers and lodging house keep
ers In the adjacent coast town.
he then lighted the candles and turned
one crab into each of the main runs. The
crab just taken from a damp place i'm
mediately sought the lowest ground in
the burrow, carrying his light along with
him where light had never penetrated
before. The rabbits, frightened almost
to death, rushed madly through the
runs to the mouths of the holes, sprang
out into the bolt nets, and, hopelessly
tangling themselves In the meshes, lay
painting until the poacher came and put
them out of their misery. 1 have known
more than n hundred rabbits taken
from a single burrow at one haul, and
the practice proved so destructive to the
rabbits that the French government took
the matter in hand and subjected every
offender to a heavy fine and imprison-
ment.-W. P. Pond in Youths Com
DaniOn.

THE TURNING POINT

Things at last seem to be coming the
ness almost unprecedented in the history
of the business is followed by a spring
and early summer in which all the ele'
ments seem to combine to render the re-
turns phenomenal. To add to the pleas
ant features of the outlook prices are
ranging higher than they have for two
years and there is every reason to hope
that the profits this fall will materially
contribute to the returning confidence.
The staggering blows which have been
dealt to the business during the past two
years showed how short-sighted is the
policy of the people of the territory who
Joined in the hue and cry against stock
raising and united in the endeavor to
crush it out of existence before any but
spasmodic efforts had been made to re-
place it by other sources of income equal
ly satisfactory.
In the nature Of things the lines on
which the cattle business had been run
for many years must change and as a
matter of fact they have materially
changed during the past two years. But
there never was a time when Investment
in cattle was more desirable or more likely
TO be attended with enormous returns.
Bitter experience has taught many prac-
teal lessons. The business is now down
to a hard pan basis. 1t is no longer a
matter of experiment and money is no
longer lavished on impracticable
schemes. The turning point of the
business has come. and those
who have held on will soon reap a rich
reward. A few shrewd capitalists have
already begun to appreciate the changed
condition of the outlook and we learn of
several negotiations now in progress for
the purchase of big cattle herds.
The business is looking up decidedly
and we have every reason to look forward
to renewed prosperity for the cattlemen.

The newest phase of the counterfeit
dollar game is to be seen now even in
some Of the most popular Now York
Gales. Agood imitation of the "%plunk'
is nailed firmly to tho floor Just in front
= Of the bar. The audience sit innocently
down Mt u ,able some ten feet W The
victims come one at a time to the bar,
over which they lean in a n~onchalant
manner while attempting to sample with
their toes the glittenng prize so near and
yet so far below them. The barkeeper,
who is in the secret, turns his back to draw
the beer they always order, because it re-
quires him to turn his back. AS he turns,
the victim, with eyes glued on the Gany-
mede's back squirms and stoops almost
low enough Tor his fingers to clutch the
coin. The barkeeper turns like a flash,
and the victim, with a well feigned smile
and yawn, ]straightens up, drinks off the
beer and calls for another. The same
thing is repeated until the audience are
so convulzed with laughter as to betray
their game, or until the victim has spent
moro than a good dollar in the irothy
chase after the imitation

tbs Western Union it is announced
with apparent hilarity, will declare a
quarterly dividend Of u per cent to day.
If that company would devote about 81
of the mount to the establishment Of
its office in this city it would gladden. the
hearts of its patrons. For the amount of
business done here the accommodations
for the public are oppressivelY meagcr.
The illumination of the place is simply
abominable and it is unjust that men
should be forced to work through the
night under the wretched light afforded
by the coal oil lamp which the company
provides. If the Western Union provides
public accommodation on the same cheap
scale elsewhere that it does in this city,
our only wonder is that the dividend is
relatively so small

Tho Western White wild Goose.

If the editor of The Riverside Press, of
California, tells the truth, tho white wild
goose of the Pacific slope is n remarkable
bird. he says that he once killed one.
1t took four bullets from a 44-caliber
sharp's rifle TO bring the bird down at a
range of seventy-five yards. Each cart
ridge contained n~inety-two grains of
powder. An the bullets passed through
the heart Of the Scuse and lodged IN the
skin on the opposite side from where
they went in. An attempt wac made to
boil this bird. ''Strange to say, the bull
lets were cooked to a jelly before any i'm
